I guess that's what you get for being true to yourself
When the truth is you're nothing.
The truth is you're nothing.
And she let you go
And took your home
She let you go
And left you this rope
She let you go.
Sitting by the railroad tracks
Desperate and hungry
Wishing I was young again
And didn't need money
I guess that's what you get for being true to yourself
When the truth is that you're full of shit
The truth is your nothing.
And she let you go
And took your home
She let you go
And left you this rope
She let you go.
You're gonna have to love yourself
If no one else will.

When I hear your keys jangling,
My wintry day blooms into spring
With your pale blue eyes, and your Irish nose
My spirit flies when you come home
I get excited (so excited)
I get excited over you.
When I find the note written on the fridge
In your delicate and gorgeous script
When I see the heart you drew next to it,
A smile breaks across my lips
I get excited (so excited)
I get excited over you.
Some years have passed since our first kiss
But I've never once lost interest
We're a tree that's grown, with deep strong roots
That every year yields sweeter fruit
And I still get excited (so excited)
I'm still excited over you.

Oh my dear, hold me near...
I could sleep for a thousand years

I feel dead in the morning
I feel dead in the evening too
I wore black to your wedding
Yes, I've been blue
I've been up and abandoned
Like a rusty old red moped
On the side of the highway
Engine dead
Save yourself from the poison that's on my breath
Run like hell away from the bottom ticking in my chest
Save yourself and never look back again
Abandon ship
I'm alone in dark waters
All alone and I'm sinking fast
With my pirate flag flying
At half mast
Rest the gold in my belly
At the bottom of this black sea
You'll be back for the treasure
But not for me
Save yourself from the poison that's on my breath
Run like hell away from the bottom ticking in my chest
Save yourself, and never look back again
Abandon ship

I've seen the future
Grey in my dreams
A dead trout floating downstream
Tired of struggling
Who can defy the river of time?
Pushing against the tide,
Whirlpools swirl at my back
As it all flows past
Sometimes I wish that I'd never opened my eyes
I can't adjust to the light
Your shamans and seers have pulled out their hair
What else could we do?
We tried to warn you
You fools
Sometimes I wish that I'd never opened my eyes
I can't adjust to the light

While you're biking a brilliant flash of lightning rips across the sky
You feel the thunder rumble in you bones and know that you're alive
In the summer rain, you will find the joy you lost along the way
The city glistens, your eyelashes are drippin', puddles lie ahead
Wet clothes clinging, you suddenly start singing... the downpour starts to ebb
In the summer rain, you will find the joy you lost along the way
In the summer rain, your soul comes out to play
You pedal hard, your tires splashing
You're soaking wet, yet you're laughing
In the summer rain, you have found the joy you lost along the way
In the summer rain, you've found yourself again
