I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed Oh God it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head 'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head How do you feel? That is the question But I forget you don't expect an easy answer When something like a soul becomes initialized And folded up like paper dolls and little notes You can't expect a bit of folks So while you're outside looking in Describing what you see Remember what you're staring at is me 'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head How much is real? So much to question An epidemic of the mannequins, contaminating everything We thought came from the heart But never did right from the start Just listen to the noises (Null and void instead of voices) Before you tell yourself It's just a different scene Remember it's just different from what you've seen I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed And all I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head 'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed And all I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head And it's the stars The stars that shine for you And it's the stars The stars that lie to you, yeah And it's the stars The stars that shine for you And it's the stars The stars that lie to you, yeah I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed Oh God it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head 'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head And it's the stars The stars that shine for you, yeah And it's the stars The stars that lie to you, yeah And it's the stars The stars that shine for you, yeah And it's the stars The stars that lie to you, yeah yeah Who are the stars? Who are the stars that lie?

Well, nighttime passes But the dark remains And I was feelin' like a little child But I am loathe to place blame On that lioness-esque woman Who will go here unnamed She was looking in me for a lion When she found it so tame On that erstwhile May morning I took the six downtown to Spring And I was writing something elegiac That I never learned to sing But I think that it was this song Just four years premature And I remember crossing out the line "All is fair in love and war" Well, if all is fair in love and war Then I don't know what we are fighting for 'Cause my baby she's a real peach Even when the night come crashin' down Real peach And the nighttime rolls away, alright And we're comin' back to the demon-killing work of love My God Well, nighttime passes And the dark retreats I hand it over to my upper angel Who visits me in sleep We're in the field beyond the right and wrong And the fallacy of form Well you can call it what you wanna call it I just say, "All is fair in love and war" Well, if all is fair in love and war Then I don't know what we are fighting for So if we don't care To fight no more Let's go upstairs and let's shut the door 'Cause my baby she's a real peach Even when the night come crashin' down Real peach And the nighttime rolls away, alright 'Cause my baby she's a real peach Even when the night come crashin' down Real peach And the nighttime rolls away, alright And we're comin' back to the demon-killing work of love My God Illuminate

Black mountain Cool river runs Now it could be anyone I counted The dark pine trees One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten And I could be any one of them Oh, tonight I see it through With no thought of self-ridicule Was it over long so over due No thought of me in my thought of you Black mountain Cool river runs Oh, tonight I see it through With no thought of self-ridicule Was it over long so over due No thought of me in my thought of you Black mountain Cool river runs To the sea And I could be no one but me It's true You could be no one but you

Some people stand in the darkness Afraid to step into the light Some people need to help somebody On the edge of surrenders inside Don't you worry It's gonna be alright 'Cause I'm always ready I won't let you outta my sight (I'll be ready) I'll be ready (Whenever you fear) oh don't you fear (I'll be ready) Forever and always, I'm always here In us we all have the power But sometimes it's so hard to see And instinct is stronger than reason It's just human nature to me Don't you worry It's gonna be alright 'Cause I'm always ready I won't let you outta my sight (I'll be ready) I'll be ready (Whenever you fear) oh don't you fear (I'll be ready) Forever and always, I'm always here 'Cause I'm always ready I won't let you outta my sight (I'll be ready) I'll be ready (Whenever you fear) oh don't you fear (I'll be ready) Forever and always, I'm always here Forever and always, I'm always here

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down 'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name It all just sounds like oooooh... Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize That I should've bought you flowers And held your hand Should've gave you all my hours When I had the chance Take you to every party 'Cause all you wanted to do was dance Now my baby's dancing But she's dancing with another man Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong Oh, I know I'm probably much too late To try and apologize for my mistakes But I just want you to know I hope he buys you flowers I hope he holds your hand Give you all his hours When he has the chance Take you to every party 'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance Do all the things I should have done When I was your man Do all the things I should have done When I was your man
