I wake up I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness News brought to you at noon
Oh my God guess I got up too soon because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you

I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on walk on down the line
You'll be walking till the end of time because

Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you


. . .


I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
I'm afraid no one will know the things you see
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are

And all the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I waste a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you
How could you believe in someone sorry and sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

And I guess that's just the way you are


. . .


I heard the floor creak or so I thought
I had my head rubbing on the ceiling
They say that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line

You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point we beggars can't be choosers

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line

One day ain't forever


. . .


Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand
I've been up and down for you
My suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you
Now I know what it means
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are

Yeah you can run out west, forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith
Method in madness
Now there's madness in my soul
I'd run from the darkness now
I've got no place to go
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are


. . .


It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
It's written down in a crooked rhyme
That sold me out before my time
You know but, since then I been back down to the edge
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
My whole world should come crashing down
You know, but you can't sell me out with everything you think about
I think back I draw a blank
You know but, there ain't no need to dig the past
You know I, I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage
'Cause you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean

Now you know for sure you're alive
Because you watched her leave before your eyes
You know I'm afraid to say your name
But I ain't afraid to share this blame
Because, you can't sell me out everything you think about

You know what I mean

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
Find a place that feels like home
You know I, I get some clue to where I'm going
You know, you don't think about anything I think about
You know what I mean
You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean


. . .


I ain't go no outfits to pick and choose
So I really ain't got that much to lose
Picture's getting fuzzy and it's stuck on channel 3
And the whole thing looks pretty silly to me
50,000 more and I'm out of the red

Heavy Metal thrash band, it's all a bunch of shit
People trying to name me while I'm trying to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed

I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself
Well, the booze is over there take a glass off the shelf
If you ain't had enough by tomorrow at noon
we're gonna place a call to the boneyard crew
Went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed


. . .


It was only last year,
when her old man ran away,
She couldn't stop cryin',
she knew he was gonna stay,
10:35 on a lonely Friday night,
She was standin' by the fire
Ooo she was lookin' alright!

I asked if she wanted to dance, and she said
"all she wanted was good man who wanted to know,
if i thought i was quite a find",
I said "Baby, don't waste your time"
"I know whats on your mind!"
"I may be quite a find, for a one night stand,
but I could never take the place of your man!"

Perky saw a band when i saw what were tears in her eyes,
She was only ever woman, and now she wanted to die,
He looked at her with a baby, and another one on the way,
She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gonna stay.

She asked if we couldn't be friends and i said
"Oh, honey, baby, thats okay, you know and i know know know,
you wouldn't be satisfied!"
I said "Baby, don't waste your time, i know whats on your mind",
"I may be quite a find for a one night stand, but i could
Never take the place of your man!"

(Guitar Solo)

"I may be quite a find for a one night stand,
never take the place of your man!"
"I may be quite a find for a one night stand,
but i could never take the place, of your maaaaaaaaaannnnnn!"

(Ending Drums)

I thought about you just last saturday
My voice got cracked I didn't know what to say
Down in the shade or maybe in the sun
And if you need it I think I got one

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

I snuck out of work to see her smile
I'll hold her hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter I thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you any time you go

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

My mind got busy around 3 a.m. or so
Crawled in you room through the back window
Hoped when you woke up you wouldn't be too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on you mind
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time


. . .


I'm on a mission baby
I'm not hearing what you're saying
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revelation
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hiding away my frowns

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side

Five a.m. I shut my eyes
Then my worries tranquilized
Don't think the morning comes too soon
If I don't see the morning
That's ok they're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side

You're living in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinking for yourself
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off 'cause you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth
Me too. . .

We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side
I'm on your side

I feel so important today and I wish I didn't
I feel so important today and I wish I didn't

Was I a little off key?

Kevin's Song

[No lyrics]

. . .


What kind of situation
Have I brought upon myself
Some kind of bad reaction
Blamed it all on someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me laughing at me
Laughing all about myself
I had a drink last Friday
Heard the news from someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me running
Running far from myself
You got me coming
Coming home to someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before
Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before


. . .



Friday night, I'd just got back
I had my eyes shut, was dreaming about the past

I thought about you while the radio played
Should have got loaded but for some reason I stayed

I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring us back

'Cause you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring us back today
Today¡­oh no

I took a ride and I went downtown
The streets were empty, there was no one around
I went to places that we used to go
Seen all the places that we used to know

I'm at the wrong end of the looking glass
I'm trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And there's nothing there to bring us back

'Cause you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring us back today
Today¡­oh no

'Cause you're million miles away
A million miles away
Just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring us back today
Today¡­'ay¡­'ay¡­oh no¡­


Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics Index

I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed
Everything I feel

You say you got no faith in things that you can't see
Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me
And I'm down in all my fears
But I ain't crying no tears over you

Cause everything's wrong
But it's all right
Everything's wrong
But it's all right

You said that this is crazy you're a half a world away
Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always wanted way too much
Anyway

Cause everything's wrong
But it's all right
Everything's wrong
But it's all right

I hung your picture on the wall but that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed
With you no more
