Laughing Lyrics

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
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
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 right down the line
You'll be walking 'til the end of time because

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Just The Way You Are Lyrics

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
Afraid no one know the things you see

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

But I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it'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 spend a lifetime if I fall for you

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

But I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are

Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up

So Outta Line Lyrics

I heard the floor creak, or so I thought
I had my head a-rubbin' on the ceiling
You said that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened

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

One day ain't forever
One day ain't forever

There You Are Lyrics

Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put 'em in my hand
I've been up and down for you, my sufferin' 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
There you are
You are
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 run from the darkness, now I ain't got no place to go

And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are

You Know What I Mean Lyrics

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks, I can read the scrawl
It's written down in a crooked rhyme
You sold me out before my time, you know

But since then I been back down to the end
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 now I draw a blank, you know but
There ain't no need to dig the past, you know but
I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage

Cuz you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

But now you know for sure you're alive
Because you, you watched me leave before your eyes, you know I
I'm afraid to say your name, but I
I ain't afraid to share this blame because

You can't sell me out with everything you think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
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
And get some clue to where I'm going, you know but

You don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean, oh
You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean

Out Of The Red Lyrics

I ain't got no outfits to pick and choose
So I really ain't got that much to lose
Picture's gettin' fuzzy and it's stuck on channel three
And the whole thing's lookin' pretty silly to me
Fifty thousand more and I'm out of the red

Heavy metal thrash band, it's all a bunch of shit
People tryin' to name me while I'm tryin' 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
Oh, son of a bitch!

Never Take The Place Of Your Man Lyrics

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay
Ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the fire, uh, she was lookin' alright

I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
I said, baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I can never take the place of your man

It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was gone to stay

She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said
Oh, honey baby, that's okay you know and I know, know, know you wouldn't be satisfied

I said, baby, don't waste your time
And I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

La la la oh oh woah
Never take the place of your man
That's all I need, girl
Is a one night, one night, one night stand
I don't wanna be like a steak in your mind
Oh, girl, if you need a friend I'm there by your side
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la

Hey Lyrics

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've 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 your mind?
I just wanna 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, thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you anytime 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 your mind?
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.

My mind got busy, 'round three a.m. or so
Crawled in your 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 your mind?
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.

On Your Side Lyrics

I'm on a mission, baby,
I'm not hearin' what you're sayin'
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revelation,
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hidin' away my frowns

Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
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 okay, they're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon

Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

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

You're livin' in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinkin' for yourself?
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off cuz you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth

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

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

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

22 Seconds Lyrics

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

[laughs] Was I a little off-key?

Know My Name Lyrics

What kind of situation have I brought upon myself?
Some kind of bad reaction, blamed it all on someone else

Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

You got me laughing at me, laughing all by myself
I had a drink on Friday, heard the news from someone else

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

You've got me running, running far from myself
You've got me coming, coming home to someone else

Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

I tried to find the truth but every word I said came back

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

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

Million Miles Away Lyrics

Friday night, I just got back
Had my eyes shut, was dreamin' 'bout the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I shoulda got loaded, some reason I stayed

I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was fallin' off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring you back

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today, oh no

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

I'm at the wrong end of the looking-glass
I tried to hold onto the hand of the past and then you
And there's nothing there to bring you back

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today, oh no

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
You're just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today-ay-ay, oh no!

Two Days In February Lyrics

And the guy across the street

I hung your picture on the wall
But that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call
But that's all it is
I know you're livin' way out west
But 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
I ain't cryin' no tears over you

Cuz everything's wrong
But it's alright
Everything's wrong
Well, it's alright

You said that this is crazy, you're half a world away
Well, I'm sittin' here and thinkin', but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much anyways

Cuz everything's wrong
But it's alright
Everything's wrong
Well, it's alright

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