I can’t feel the way I can’t feel the way today I can’t feel the way I just got burned and I’ve got to say… That I’ll never go near the fire again Unless you take my hand I’ll walk away I’ll walk away I’ll walk away I’ll walk away Unless you take my hand I’ll walk away I can’t see the way I can’t see the way today I can’t see the way I’m going blind and I’ve got to say… That I’ll never go near the light again Unless you shield my eyes I’ll walk away unless you are here I’ll shrivel up in a corner in fear You said that you’ll always be here And you said that you’ll never leave

Pop culture for a day From sea to shining sea Pop culture for a day One’s enough for me All the rebels shriek the words “Oh no!” Cause there’s no room for them here It’s gonna be a long, long day The longest day of the year Shoe stores and malls So many crowded halls Everyone is spending more than they can make Well Goodwill’s okay with me The clothes are almost free And the fashion has gone way out of style Cool cars are the fad Cruising town is so rad To the people who thrive on cliché Well rap’s too much for me It’s always the same beat Thumping through the town all night long But I’ll keep truckin along Singing the same old song Even if I’m the only one

I’m tired of waiting on the couch I’m waiting for you to come I know it’s lazy and it’s wrong My homework’s not done The day is passing me by The sun’s not waiting for me now It’s a waste of time Wishes just don’t come true It’s a waste of time You’ve got to make your dreams come true I keep staring at the wall I’m a million miles away Thinking about times in the past Why don’t they come around? All I’ve done is history I need to concentrate on what I’m gonna be All this time I’ve been waiting for you There have been so many things I could do But I’m too lazy to work And I’m too restless to play So I think I’ll wait another day I’m wishing my life away Wishing my life away

I’m not perfect, who is? Sometimes I feel like the best worst kid I try my best to do what I’m asked The result is the worst of last Cause I’ve tried, I’ve tried To do what I’m asked, I’ll do what I’m asked And I’ll try, I’ll try To do what I’m asked, I’ll do what you ask of me I’m not perfect, who is? Sometimes I feel like the halfway kid I start on course, but then I get off track Halfway there I hit the road and I’m packed Cause It feels sometimes my best is not enough for you I reach so high, but I fly solo So maybe I could make some changes in my life And stop fooling myself I’m only fooling myself I could make some changes in my life I could make some changes in my life We could make some changes in our lives We could make some changes in our lives
5.
We cry out for you now We long for you now We tear ourselves apart for you Won’t you put us back the way we’re supposed to be I can’t explain this effect that you have on me You turn my darkness into day And when it’s bright it’s only you holding me in your arms But when it’s dark I slip away You find me out Even when I hide You find me out You contain me We cry out for you now Our last chances counting down We given up cause we’ve gone sour The lighted tower’s been snuffed by the matches we burn… Close to our side Shielded by hands closed tight We make our way to the tune of a little glow When it’s been daylight all the time
