is it asking too much, to be given time,
to know these songs, and to sing them.
is it asking too much, of my vacant smile,
and my laughing lies that bring them.
but as the stars are going out,
and the stage is full of nothing.
and the friends have all but gone,
for my life, my god, I'm singing.
we'll take our hats outside,
leave our lives behind,
oh, watch the stars go out.
we'll take our hats outside,
leave our lives behind
oh, watch the stars go out.
is it asking too much, of my favorite friends,
to take these songs for real.

to take these songs for real.

Riverside on Friday night
My friends remain
They say your name
But my guard has gone
Put a brave face on
And make a smile you could hear
But you're not here
I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost
But wherever I go I'm alone
There's no-one else
Still living by myself
Yes I'm eating well
I still cook for two you know
And the bathroom's clean
Windows let the sun shine in
My complexion's clear
But you're not here
An empty bedroom
A silent phone
Wherever I go I'm alone
Wherever I go I'm alone
A stranger's face, a different place
I see you everywhere
It's funny how time does nothing
And doesn't seem to care
But...
I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost
Who could understand me now you're gone
I'll leave the bedroom
Unhook the phone
But wherever I go I'm alone
I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost
But wherever I go I'm alone

Talking is useless when your cards have all been shown
I'll make you feel bitter and I'll never use the phone
'Cause I'm not the kind of person soft enough to cry
I'm not the kind of person to hide when I can fight
So breakout now let the feelings out and take the blame away
And leave the past for another day
Please no more talk today
'Cause I'm not the kind of person to hang around
I'm not the kind of person to sympathise with self indulgence
Breakout now let the feelings out and take the blame away
And leave the past for another day
Please no more talk today
Talking is stupid now my interest has flown
I'll make you feel useless if you call me on the phone
Breakout now let the feelings out and take the blame away
And leave the past for another day
Please no more talk today
