Howie Day Album

Well overcome, this impression
In the life that you lead, second guessing
On me
So youve come from things youve left behind
You left me here with all this on my mind
Ill be fine
Now I, I feel so stung
Now I, I feel so stung
By you
(He reverses order in different shows: Cause all you wanna be is protected, and all I wanna feel is affected)
All I wanna feel is affected
And all you wanna be is protected
But when you realize were at your door
The wind can push (the) your sails and drive you home
This I know
And well I feel so stung
And now I feel so stung (feel left out)
By you.
(Well I can see it coming down, feel it, be it, conceal it, well I can see it from this love, another day on the road)
Well I can see ya (?)
(when you realize youre on the shore, the wind can push the sails and drive you home, this I know
But I feel so stung, and you got the best, you got the best, and I feel so stung, by you, by you)
And now I, feel so stung
And now I, I feel so stung
By you.

I was alone, so not afraid
I was staying up with you way too late
I thought someone like you
Could come around n make my faults
Seem like they were none at all
Come on somebody help me out
I'm underwater drowned in doubt

But it feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away
Oh but what do I know?

It was all mixed up, ahead of the curve
When you were lying to the world
See I want to lie there too
Feeling down n all around
I see your back in every town
You'll be the one to hold me down
Tell me, is it too late now?

Cuz it feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away
Oh but what do I know?

I want to be alive like you
Be so easy like you
I want to love like you do
Oh wonderous one

It feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away

It feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Feels just like we're turning
Turning ourselves in circles
Pretend that we can find a way
Oh but what do I know?

But what do I know?
Oh... but what do I know?

Is it dark where you are?
Can you count the stars where you are?
Do you feel where you are
A thousand miles from home
Are you lost where you are?
Can you cant the cost of it so far?
Did you steal where you are
A thousands nights alone
Maybe theres a point to this
Could it be something its I have missed
Here we are set into motion
Steal a car, well crash in the ocean
You and I are caught in the fading light
On the longest night
I was close to a fault line
Heaven knows you showed up in time
Was it real
Do you feel
Like youre ever comin down
Oh now, maybes theres another side to this
Could it be in someone you have missed
Here we are set into motion
Well steal a car and crash in the ocean
You and I, caught in a fading light
On the longest night
Sun drops
Clock stops
Here with you on the 21st of June
Will I save(?) you
If not now
Then tell me when
Tell me when
So here we are set into motion
Well steal a car, well crash in the ocean
You and I were caught in a fading night
On the longest night
All we are is falling together
Even now it seems like forever
Still alive caught in a fading light
On the longest night
On the longest night

Lately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my head

There's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
The only chance I had to make it better

The shadow on the wall
Is looking down from 10 feet tall
And I wonder what it sees
As I stumble through the streets

To never feel alone
It seemed written down in stone
But now it's all I can do
To try and forget her

40 hours and counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep here

Warning comes and goes
And I'm tangled in the throes
In the stillness of my room
And the bandage on my wound

My heart becomes a bird
She said freely, just a word
And now I'm wishing
That I had never met her

40 hours and counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep here

People rushing by
Out the corner of my eye
A kaleidoscope of bloom
A mirror broke in two

A thousand little stars
And a million little wars
Scattered out upon the open desert

40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here

A world is set ablaze
By a never ending haze
And you're closer than a tear
I see you ever clear

The rush is in the veins
And there's nothing else to blame
But every minute
Every hour, every second

40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here
Shut my eyes and sleep to dream

Lately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my head

There's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
The only chance I had to make it better

When the morning came I was up before first light,
And Your bed was made you must have cut out sometime lastnight,
My heart beat started pounding out riddle in my brain,
Voice from deep inside said got to be insane,
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
Got in my taxi and drank my conscience away,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life

I went to your friends house begged you to open the door,
With Your hands on your hips you spoke while i sat down on the floor,
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,
You don't look so superior when you give your opion,
Don't think i don't know how you act on your own,
Just who are those names on your cell phone anyway,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life,

Its the cool breeze on the setting sun,
The New Year's , The 4th, wrapped into one,
You make me want to be someone that you could look up too,

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,
Start livin, out with the old, im on the up,
Must be the good life,

Come on get love,
Come on and try,
Come on now what are you waiting for?

(repeat 4x)

Come on...

She put her shoulder down into the rain
She doesn't know how she's gonna explain
The way it's always been it will probably be again
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

Can't wait for the rain to stop falling
Such a victim of circumstance
On the edge and she thinks of running
Shattering all their plans

Late again and he won't stop calling
Such a victim of their romance
Struck down by a strange cold addiction
He never had a chance

She'll need a miracle
To keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle if she's ever to be found
And I swear it won't be long
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

By the glow of a red light flashing
She's a vision of poetry
Not sure just where she's crashing
Or who she's supposed to be

Doesn't know if its him shes feeling
Doesn't know if it's someone else
'Round the bend there's a wrong turn coming
She's putting it on herself

She'll need a miracle
Just to keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle if she's ever to be found
And I swear it won't be long
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

She'll go where she wants to go
Where she wants to go
Where she wants to go

She'll need a miracle
Just to keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle if she's ever to be found
And I swear it won't be long
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

'Cause everyone loves to love a lie
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

'Cause everyone loves to love a lie
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie
'Cause everyone loves to love a lie

Light up, light up this afternoon
Somehow I've found myself with you
Start up, start up our getaway car
I'm in too deep we've come this far

So bright, so bright you're a blinding sun
No need to hurry, we've just begun
Call out, call out your ocean''s move
The water's warm I'd swim to you

Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best
Undressed

Turn on, turn on you're a stereo
We'll shake these walls you're sunset n low
Good love, good love I finally see
The past is gone for you, for me

Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best
Undressed

In a world full of chaos
Shut out this deafening roar
For just one minute more

Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best..
Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I love you best
Undressed

I must confess
I like us best undressed

I dont know if I could last
When I couldnt rescue you
And I dont know if my best
Is enough for me anymore
Well I can take it as a test
And I will see when I console
And Id change it if I could
But somethings wrong
Oh its understood

And at times I miss you
And know that youll make it all to real
I wish it was fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, al-right
I know this night
Alright, thats right

Well I dont know if I could turn
From every bridge that I have burned
To overcome a sense of loss
You gain so much
At such a cost
And at times I miss you
I know that youll make it all to real now
I wish it was fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, alright
Know this night, alright

This time I miss you
I know that youll make it all to real
I wish it were fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, alright
I know tonight youre alright
Right alright right alright
You know well be alright, tonight.

We had it all we were, young lovers, we were full of trust and faith
We were dead set on makin' it last forever, forever and a day.
I recall it was fall last year when, it started to die.
You stand still as the temperature kills, the summer strokes that were keeping it alive.
The day got colder so I held you closer, in an effort to save us from time,
Almost like the wind came and ruined the spark and left us in the dark.

But hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stay,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late,
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar,
I'm no longer what you require.

See, I still feel you at night, turning in the sheets when I turn out the light
It's how it goes, the ghost of your first love wont ever leave you til the day that you die
I wont ever live down leaving her behind even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing staring me right in the face but I turned and ran away.

I coulda told you that I loved you and stay,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
Cause I am a liar,
I'm no longer what you require.

Back then the days were so much faster,
we were young stubborn and in love with disaster.
You know you cant go back even if you try,
you better just forget it wont you close the door on me
cause it will never be the same
it will never be the way it was before

But hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stayed,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late,
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar,
well hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stay
around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar I'm no longer what you require.
And im no longer what you require

Postcard from Mars
Having your fill
You can't see the harm
In a little pill
See what you've done
Biding your time
Making my world
Unthoughtful in sunlight

Till I wake up
Boy I'll take some time to understand
Soon I'll be a part of this
The last time
Oh the last time
I'm sure it comes back on again

Some how you find
Passing the time
Moving along to a different light
Lie on your back
Oh you shoulder the blame
You can't find the time
And you can't find your way home
You shout out

Till I wake up
Boy I'll take some time to understand
Soon I'll be a part of this
The last time
For the last time
I'm sure, I'm coming back real soon

[bridge thru outro]

You're coming apart with me at the seams
We'll follow a man says "he lives in a dream"
Well you've been a part of everyone's style
Since the day you were born
But now you need something more

You're playing a part
Doesn't it hurt, when it's coming apart??
Hey now, I could surely manage a lot
I did it before

Postcard from Mars
Oh now how do you feel??
You can't see the harm
In a little thrill

I see your face in the sun
By a streetlight
By the colors that glow in my eyes
I see them burning bright

And I know where I'm supposed to be
Counting on me
You're counting on me

You've got me tied by the wrist
By the shoulder
By the blood that runs under my skin
I see my hands turn white
And I know that I won't get free

You're counting on me
You're counting on me
Counting on me
Counting on me

I never knew that I could be this way before
Like I was living in your hallway
And you opened the door
Opened the door

And I can feel a change will come
In our love, love
And I can feel a change will come now

Tell me you find
Tell me you find it here
You're counting on me
You're counting on me
Can you count on me?
You're counting on me

And I know that I won't
Yes, I know that I won't
Now I know that I won't get free
