"What Am I Doing Here"

"What Am I Doing Here"



On this useless night
With you so far away
I stand in front of this ferris wheel
And I wonder what am I doing here
And I wonder what am I doing here

And all the drunks just stumble by
And mumble their abuse
Tell me what is the use
And I wonder what am I doing here
And I wonder what am I doing here

After so long nobody's wrong
After so long nobody's right
After so long nobody's wrong
After so long nobody's right

On this useless night
With you so far away
I stand in front of this ferris wheel
And I wonder what am I doing here
And I wonder what am I doing here
And I wonder what am I doing here

"What Is This Love (With Sarah McLachlan)"

"What Is This Love (With Sarah McLachlan)"



What is this love that I leave behind
How can I turn from the tears in your eye
What is this world where we always pretend
That its worth it.. worth it in the end
What is this life we share that I just throw away
Is this love that causes so much pain
What is the promise that I leave behind
Why cant I just lie beside you again

What's going on?
How'd it get so wrong?
What's going on?
How'd it get so wrong?

What is this dream that I'll never find
What is the prayer that's still in my mind
What is this deed that I've made with fate
And I wonder if I have left it too late

What's going on?
How'd it get so wrong?
What's going on?
How'd it get so wrong?

"What You Want"

"What You Want"



Woke up from another dream
with the clouds in my head
sat down by the window watched the sunrise burning red

I guess I'm doing alright now
but there's too much time to kill
I can't forget you lying there so still

Picture back to another time
I see you sitting here
you said would you ever forgive me if I chose to disappear
I turned away and closed my eyes
I didn't think I could

If that's what you want I guess I would
if that's what you want I guess I would

You know I can't live like everyone else
nothing ever seems that simple in my head
feel myself slipping away
don't want to wind up helpless in my bed

This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall

I can see myself in so many ways
but I curse myself instead
was there something I should have done
something else I could have said
you know I tried to change it but I can't forgive you still

If that's what you want I guess I will
if that's what you want I guess I will

You know I can't live like everyone else
nothing ever comes that simple in my head
feel myself slipping away
tired of waking up lonely in my bed

This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall
this time I want to get out but I think I'll fall

"When The Truth Comes Out"

"When The Truth Comes Out"



Everyone I've ever known
They've been cut right to the bone
Left bleeding in the rain
And with nothing to defend
They just lean on all their friend
To bring them back again

Now I'm watching
Moonlight move across your eyes
You should stay asleep
Miles and miles to go

Its amazing what we do
When we want to break on through
Amazing how we rush
But I've known the wounded heart
When we've drifted far apart
And I've lived without your touch

Now you know
Night time brings it back to me
The time I've lost my way
And I wondered what went wrong

But I've turned myself around
I'm not losing ground here anymore
Not breaking myself down
I'm only waiting on the open door

Fall in love, rise above, everything is clear
You'll be caught between believing and your doubt
When the truth comes out

Wake up girl and talk to me
I need to hear your voice
It's lonely in the night

But I've turned myself around
I'm not losing ground here anymore
Not breaking myself down
I'm only waiting on the open door

Fall in love, rise above, everything is clear
Through it all, rise and fall, I know just why I'm here
We'll wonder what our tears were all about
When the truth comes out

The truth comes out
(When the truth comes out)
The truth comes out
(When the truth comes out)

"Where Are You Now"

"Where Are You Now"



You were so complete
you made a perfect mess of my head
I should have known better
but I was bored and looking for kicks
You were the open window
a two lane highway headed West
you were my adventure
the silver charm around my neck
So where are you now
I thought I was going crazy
but now it just makes me laugh
I'm talking to the TV
and the TV is talking back
You were the dare at midnight
the gold narcotic on my breath
you were the beggar's tin cup
you were the stain on my bed
So where are you now
yea where are you now
I'm gonna buy an old car
and drive high into the sun
maybe if I lose it all
we'll have us a little fun
you were the desert motel
you were the rose in my teeth
you were the first to forgive me
you made the last drink taste so sweet
So where are you now
where are you now
you gotta tell me
where are you now
come on come on
where where where
are you now, where

"Where I Was Before"

"Where I Was Before"



Can't get used to what you told me
You said better brace yourself
There's changes coming in I wake up to a brand-new story
Stop the clock that's ticking on the shelf
Then let it all begin

Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Chasing all my ghosts around
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only 3 hours away

Living in between the pages
Watching the strangers come and go
Just life that's passing by
It all keeps coming down in stages
Only hurts the ones you know No matter what you try

Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Chasing songs from town to town
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only 3 hours away

Some things aren't meant to last
Like a day that burns up fast
Turn away and then it's gone

Sun comes the red sky morning
I pray that the trouble all has passed
Just something that I dreamed I must have missed all of your warnings
I guess we played too fast
Much closer than it seemed

Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Making all my plans alone
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only 3 hours away
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only 3 hours away

"Willin' Fool"

"Willin' Fool"



Isn't it funny
funny to think
I once believed you
I thought you were being straight
but what a bad joke
it's always the same
with one hand you offer
while the other slaps my face
You
You made a willin' fool out of me
So there you sit
in the great city of kicks
your apologetic fingers
fumbling with a pack of cigarettes
your good intentions
as hollow as your eyes
yea you paint your world
with brilliant lies
You
You made a willin' fool out of me
The last time I saw you
I was dangling from a ledge
you posed quickly for a picture
just before I lost my grip
you kind a remind me
of those psychos in a German film
you're that cool smirking weirdo
with the voices in his head
voices in his head
voices in his
voices in his
voices in his head
You
You made a willin' fool out of me

"Wondering"

"Wondering"



Everywhere you go
And everyone you meet
The way you light your cigarette
The way you spill your drink
Every kiss you steal
And every heart you break
Every smile you leave
On a strangers face

And you wish you could remember
Your dreams when you wake
'Cause now everything
Feels like a big mistake

And you're wondering
Why can't this world be more
More like the one you were meant for
And you're wondering
Why can't this love be more
More like the love you were meant for

Sometimes it tears you apart
When you have to leave
The one love you want
It makes you feel like
It's all a lie
You can't believe he said
Goodbye

And you wish you could remember
Your dreams when you wake
'Cause now everything
Feels like a big mistake

And you're wondering
Why can't this world be more
More like the one you were meant for
And you're wondering
Why can't this love be more
More like the love you were meant for

"You Said"

"You Said"



You once said you could read my mind
So I thought about clouds
And told you lies
Still I always thought
You could see what hides
Behind these broken eyes
We stood on a hill far from the city glow
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow

You looked to the north star
You looked back through me
You wondered
Who was the more deceived
The man in the moon
Or all the stars in the sky
While the sky turns
Like a giant wheel
You said that I
Was your cross to bare
Still you liked it better
When I was there
But you were tired
Of having to play the role
Of being there for someone
Who's always out of control
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow

You once said you could read my mind
So I thought about clouds
And I told you lies

"You're Everywhere"

"You're Everywhere"



Yeah I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
That's not enough you want more
Like the writing on an ancient wall
You're a mystery that I'll never solve

Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me

Well I've walked along the red canal of mars
I've known kings and king makers
Poets painters and paupers
I've danced danced on the rings of saturn
Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered

Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me

Rock it!

Yeah this old world ain't always what it seems
Sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream
There's a face I know that I've never seen
Still a hundred million miles
Ten thousand years
Ain't going to change a thing

Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere
Yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
