I know there were a hundred ways to tell her I loved her It's funny how they're all so clear today And when her face was burning with sadness and yearning I don't know why I turned my eyes away But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after Adding up the kisses and the laughter Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game The room was so alive with all her feelings and longings I saw the spark of danger in her eyes Well, how would it have hurt me if I'd turned back and held her? A moment passes, something lovely dies But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after Adding up the kisses and the laughter Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game Yes, it's easier to win it when you know you'd never play it quite the same But then, this Monday morning quarterback never lost a game

I was lying on my bed Feelin' like I was nearly dead Got my soul on fire Mama you can't mean it I was bleeding from my pride I was bleeding from my eyes Got my soul on ice Mama you can cream it Early morning rise Got my guts in my eyes Got my soul on fire All right

Could it be a stranger night? The basements filled with kids. I don't know. Not beautiful like your songs, But all awkward and alone and don't belong. I saw a vacant seat. I sat down next to you. I thought of all the boys that wanted to. I laughed out loud. Do you hate this band too? I smiled a nervous smile, But I warmed up and acted cool standing by the stove. And your eyes made it strange and I felt out of place. Wondering if you... if you could take her place. You can't be sly. You can't forget her. You don't ask why. You can't forget her. Give up. What hope do you have to save her? Give up. What hope do you have to save her?

Living at home Living under one roof Walls are raging They're all crazy Mind is racing Say you left it far behind And you'll always feel your 17 In a dream Isn't it a sad thing that we all can't win? You got your sad songs or the radio It's for sure that you are all done Just a quiet evening Just a quiet evening When you get home the street is quiet in the morning And the sight of her is all you need to get so down I can't figure how a letter so upset her just climb down the stairs Just disappear I can promise something fleeting Just a quiet evening that will pass And although we ain't got nothing to show By sitting at home It'd mean a lot to me I can promise something fleeting Just a quiet evening that will pass Just a quiet evening Just a quiet evening.

I know you're just confused. And I know I ain't the best. But why put my heart to the test? Can you turn the light on now? I'm gonna grab my coat. I'm not sticking around to watch you gloat... this time. Cause it gets only close enough So you'll know you'll never have her heart. Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween, When she tries hard to be mean. You'll never have her heart. But you'll probably hate her now. You know she's just a name. But with smoke in her hair, I could still smell how sweet she would be to kiss. And we talked about nothing until she had to go where second chances And small talk could have kept me up all night. Cause it gets only close enough So you'll know you'll never have her heart. Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween, When she tries hard to be mean. You'll never have her heart... this time.

I'm so tired, but i can't sleep a wink And i'm in trouble deep Yeah i'm so tired Not enough cash to keep me in vices I can't think about it now She's getting too close and i don't even like it I can't think about it now Always behind on the latest devices I can't think about it now Panic in the office Record label crisis I can't think about it now So many words i like like to say to convince you i'll stay So many words i'd like to say to convince you that i'm so tired So many words that i'd love to get by this But everyone's watching me I'm out of disguises And nobody know if the kids gonna like it So c'mon and tell me Don't think about all the things that you want And the things that you need Its only a matter of what you don't see There's not enough cash And there ain't enough vices Couldn't think about it even if i tried to

Hair cuts and tee-shirts You're made in the shade Airports and "hey your luggage?" Ain't quite the same What ever happened to whats her name She's all books and quotations And no fun and games It feels so good but you don't dare believe it Don't you believe it Don't you believe it When its quiet and lights are low You're the last one you want around You're the last one to know Cuz its over you know when I said Its time to go now don't let things go to your head Its over won't you come over The lights are low at my place too But the stereos gonna change your mood It feels so good but you don't dare believe it Don't you believe it Don't you believe it You're the only one for me (I told you already) You're the only one for me (I told you already)

1, 2, 3, 4. It was too loud to hear what you were thinking. And somehow I knew I would be sleeping alone tonight, But I figured that's alright. Could you still walk home with me? I don't wanna be wondering. You couldn't keep me here. It's you or two months on the road. Just two months waiting by the phone. She grew wings and I grew wheels. And now the dust covers my heels. You couldn't keep me here. It's you or two months on the road. Just two months waiting by the phone. She grew wings and I grew wheels. And now the dust covers my heels. I sent your letter next day air. No-dozed a lot and sat and stared. I couldn't make it fifty pages in that book. I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down. And I'll see you at the show. I hope you'll go. You'll be there just waiting for me. Just waiting for me. I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down. And I'll see you at the show.
