hate to be walking away now
i'd give all i got just to lay down
and walking on ice ain't easy
packing the vice of a species
the soles of my Nikes are greasy
gotta be more just like this
blooming with light and the air's kiss
hungry again por viridis
just want a lick of some pro chow
it's better we quit and to-go now
the streets are too slick for the snowplows
so sit back, relax
someone else'll do it, Jack
they won't even be the last
those ignored get bored
play my favorite TV show
i don't watch the news, you know
my world ain't very big
send thoughts and prayers for another gig
pedigree power in a color
i'm harder and stronger and taller
what makes it worth such a dollar?
with all the abuse i could undo,
i need a figure to look to
am i a caricature too?
they said that we lived in the future
converted the victims to users
well it's hard to forgive your abuser
i said i could stop anytime now
but how could i drop such a high now?
the pool's too hot for a dive now
so keep calm, clutched palms
maybe they've been wrong before
there's no need to start a war
oh i wish i could resist
who would be my enlistee?
easily we'll vanquished be
so will you save the world for me?
will you save the world for me?
will you save the world for me?
will you save the world for me?
who will save the world for us?
who will save the world for us?
who will save the world for us?
who will save the world for us?
picture a nation of lovers
no need for pillows and covers
to love is to serve one another

in this house of glass
cracks have come with time
waiting for the crash
where'd your colors go?
pale and past your prime
crimson cuts in flow
and what do you do with your money?
i only ever see some of it
two quadrillion pennies lost in fountains wishing for more
now what? what am i supposed to do?
i'm not so opposed to you
but with idiots voting too
so what? play with the cards you're dealt
think of someone besides yourself
put your time into something else
keep your numbers right
don't slip off that bar
keep the end in sight
save up, stay in school
trade stock, buy cigars
maybe follow the rules
how could you buy into righteousness?
i made a buck in your idleness
five percent wouldn't get the sack if arms and legs fed the lions
help me, what am i supposed to do?
i'm not so opposed to you
but with idiots voting too
hurt me, what have i got to lose?
you're stuck with the life you choose
so bury away the blues
something feels wrong, but i'm not to blame
three hundred million strong, and we all feel the same
if you could just see why i'm correct
we wouldn't need dissension elect
and we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans
we're all numerical Americans

thought i saw you the other day
wondering if i felt the same way
she didn't mean to remind
glowing gold and moonshine eyes
take me back to the better days
in dusty rays of ethereal haze
we would ride into the night
timid limbs that couldn't hide
spirits tangled and combined
you can't forge a future life
a kingdom come too good to last
hold the fort and fill the cracks
but anything that can, will, in the end
it turns out three thousand miles is more than i could ever bear
still falling into and out of love
still falling into and out of love
yeah half of the time i wish you were mine
i never get enough
still falling into and out of love
i still think of you sometimes
morning, afternoon, and night
senses frayed and nails to bite
too many knots i can't untie
what a life it could have been
settled and convenient
until i find another one
to propagate devotion
still falling into and out of love
still falling into and out of love
how can i accept the terms that were left?
the trouble i'm guilty of?
still falling into and out of love
still falling into and out of love
still falling into and out of love
yeah half of the time i wish you were mine
i never get enough
still falling into and out of love

Heart Beat Fast

i don't know your name
teach me how to play when you're so committed to your game
hard to get and right in front of me
how likely would you be to make believe you never noticed me?
calculate what's right to say
so i might have a chance, cause anyway
you make my heart beat fast
nervous glances and eye contact
ruminating on small chat
but i'm not as lonely as you are, that's a fact
where do i begin?
how can i be real when it's so essential i fit in?
pretending that i'm what you're looking for
the pressure in my blood
swell the risk and surge inside of me
waste away each passing day just beating myself up so silently
you make my heart beat fast
nervous glances and eye contact
ruminating on small chat
cause i'm not as lonely as you are, that's a fact
