unknown

You never smile
The way you used to do
I see you trying
But it's just not you
What is wrong
And what is right
Marvin said he tried
He just couldn't get through
Maybe it's a line
He's just not used to
What went wrong
And what went right
Tell me do you plan this pain
Does it come down on you
Like the rain
Is there something i can say to you
I can't stop the storm
But i can cover you
There's something in the doorway
Between you and me
From my angle
It's too hard to see
Tell me would you please
Humor me
Do you care about me
Then care about yourself
Or carry on your way
All by yourself
Your sinking ship
Is drowning me
(chorus)
Every now and then
I think of how it used to be
The power you would send
Would light up the city
For miles around
You were never alone
I can see you struggle
And i can feel your pain
I think we're headed for trouble
Are we falling apart again
(chorus)

If nature sold herself on layaway
With a little down
I would be the first in line
To buy myself a sound
A waterfall a tidal wave or a beating of the drums
A heavy wind a thunder or a falling of the leaves
And i would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
In a press conference held
Downtown
When the people would look at me
In this state i would simply tell them this
At least you'll have someone to blame for
Ruining your weekend
I would play mother nature
Unlease my sound at will
No more sitting and waiting
On this quite window sill
If i feel like love
I will shake the trees
If i'm consumed in lonliness then
I will drop the leaves
And i would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
In a press conference held
Downtown
When the people would look at me
In this state i would
Simply say outright
At least you have someone
To blame for scaring
The children in the night
What if i call for a waterfall
Some light rain
And some other owner calls
For a massive hurricaine
We'd have to be responsible users
And respect the rules of god
I'll just take a load off and
Have to buy them all
And i would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
In a press conference held
Downtown
When the people would look at me
In this state i would
Simply say
At least you have someone
To blame for a near perfect day

I think
I know
I think i'm just a little too slow
My friends
Me and you yea
Are sick of hearing
Cause that's all that they do
Cause i can't get you off
Can't get you off my mind
Oh no
Cause i can't get you off
Can't get you off my mind
Oh no
I think
I see
I think i'm just a little too deep
My problems
They go on
Let me tell you
That i'm just hanging on
(chorus)
I don't think i'll ever get over you
Cause there'd be nothing left to do
(chorus)
I think
I know
I'm just a little too slow
My friends of me and you
Are sick and tired of all that we do
(chorus)
