A fire trying to work it s way free this anchor of anger forces me stationary what can I do to comfort me trying to hide from lies, it even hurts to let them leave betcha didn t know, betcha didn t know when you disappeared I cried red hot tears Stay! Where are you going this late hiding over the airwaves leaving me all alone The first better be the worst you lit me up like a saturday night of neon lights burning through the sky when you hold me tight A fire trying to work it s way free
this anchor of anger forces me stationary what can I do to comfort me trying to hide from lies, it even hurts to let them leave betcha didn t know, betcha didn t know when you disappeared I cried red hot tears THE ONLY WAY Drink my coffee under the setting sun, I'm gonna have to stay up late to get this job done I hear my fear whisper things can only get worse, I tell myself they can easily get better first This world holds the strong willed and the meek, rarely do we see the majority in between on this seesaw ride, who do you listen to when neither of the extremes feels right? Cause this can't be the only way this can't be the only way Cause this can't be the only way this can't be the only way I've been abused by need for success, when I plan I leave little time in between to rest I beat myself up better than you could, the harshest critic lives in my neighborhood I bet religion has a doubt built in, cause everyone can sink not everyone can swim takes courage to differentiate, where to place your caution and where to place your faith Cause this can't be the only way this can't be the only way Cause this can't be the only way this can't be the only way Your future's banging on the door you better answer it before its all burned up, all burned up X2 When I get myself in check, I'm gonna be the best that I've been yet when I get myself in line, I'm gonna show you what I have in mind CALL ME UP
theres a hurricane coming headed this way like a freight train chugging faster by the day and I don't understand why you don't run? Like a waterfall spilling down from the top you have no chance to change direction and you won't stop and I fear that I will find you once the damage is done why do you wait for magic like you would a friend who has promised to see to it you'll feel whole again Its these times when you can't catch your breath that any sign of relief is your safest bet why don t you call me up? when the time feels right for a wrongful death why don t you pick up the phone with whatever is left and call me up... I see you window shopping with your eyes watching the prettiest of people as they walk by then glance down at yourself to criticize its this habit of society to compete fitting standards in a way that most of us can't meet and you have more to offer than just the rinse and repeat why do you wait for magic like you would a friend who has promised to see to it you'll feel whole again Its these times when you can't catch your breath that any sign of relief is your safest bet why don t you call me up? when the time feels right for a wrongful death why don t you pick up the phone with whatever is left and call me up... why do you wait for magic like you would a friend who has promised to see to it you'll feel whole again Its these times when you can't catch your breath why don t you pick up the phone with whatever is left and call me up... HOW CAN YOU SLEEP? I didn t know that when I said goodbye you d take me up on my offer and you wouldn t care why?
You d think I d appreciate the easy out now the hardest part is over and I m filled with doubt How can you sleep? When all I do is think of you? How can you smile? When on my face tears run wild? How come I come unglued, while you keep it cool as the breeze tell me how can you sleep? I wake with conviction, sticking to my guns and throughout the day I tell myself JOB WELL DONE then I see you walking on by with that spring in your step and by nightfall, im wishing those words that they never left How can you sleep? When all I do is think of you? How can you smile? When on my face tears run wild? How come I come unglued, while you keep it cool as the breeze tell me how can you sleep? when I wake up and you re not around the feeling it brings me shows that I know, that I know that you know, that you know, this dream will never be found... How can you sleep? When all I do is think of you? How can you smile? When on my face tears run wild? How come I come unglued, while you keep it cool as the breeze tell me how can you sleep?

My mind s fallen victim to my heart in the past so it braced when a new friend s faith shadow was cast and the I told you so came on my wedding day he said he couldn t attend cause God told him, no way. I said, I know that you mean well but this comes as a slap, cause I ve spoken with God too and he s never said that so your God and my God will have to agree that between you and me there s no symmetry between you and me there s no symmetry On the piano bench in your living room I d like to think we had a laugh or two CALL YOURSELF A FRIEND It s not, it s not my style to mean, manipulative but lately I m learning you call yourself a friend but you don t know just what that means well having my heart set so please don t let me fall You call yourself a friend but you are mistaken You call yourself a friend but you are wrong You call yourself a friend when you, when you lie and you cheat and you undermine but I am not your... Foolish, foolish one, do you know what it happens to be when they tell you you can t leave, they bend the rules and break what s yours wherever they think that you fall, why dont you ever know where you really stand? You call yourself a friend but you, you are mistaken you call yourself a friend but you are wrong you call yourself a friend when you, when you lie and cheat and you undermine but I am, I am not your fool ALL I NEED Some people just ain t right some people can t help but lie some take the easy way
before they ever ask why? Some people bend the rules just to hear them snap some people try to put back together what can never be put back but your honest your unique you are kind this to the world when this world is rarely sweet and that s not easy, to be You re all I need x4 Some people spill with rage or bottle it up inside some have the world in their pocket and still not satisfied Some people flirt their way in distracting the eye some people show you the left hand just to belt you with the right GRACEFULLY I wish I could just tell you all of the things that you re not here to hear These ten months have been the hardest I ve known cause you left this world before I was ready to let you go and I hear you whisper, don t worry I ll see you in heaven, heaven is where we will meet and we ll be together right where we were meant to be but for now I must live my life, like you taught me, Gracefully and tell me that this goodbye is just for a while and if so tell grandpa Hal and Jerry, Cheryl, Sandy and Mom that I will see them... I ll see them in heaven, heaven is where we will meet and we ll be together right where we were meant to be but for now I must live my life, like you taught me, Gracefully
