Jimmy Eat World - Surviving Album Lyrics

I keep my focus on the simple things
Trying to find some peace along the way
Wish I knew how long I'm supposed to wait
Holding on but just barely

Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
There's always a reason for the pain

I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?

Never had anything to prove
But never was anyone like you
All you fought through, all you had to face
Made you stronger, unafraid

Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain

I'm doing the things that I'm told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head

Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line
There's always a reason to let it change
Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain

I'm doing the things I've been told every day, every day, every day
Then why does it feel like I'm moving in place, in place, in place?
I gotta believe that you're there when I sing, when I sing, when I sing
'Cause if you're not real, I'm losing my head, in my head, in my head

I keep my focus on the simple things
Trying to find some peace along the way

Going out we hope to lose ourselves
Then get found in unlikely places
A little presumption's all you need
To end up empty
Who really says they hope they meet the one
For the first time at a bar drinking early
Easy enough to say "Hey man, I'm done"
And never hear them say

Oh honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
But how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
And no one really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh ho oh ho
Oh oh oh oh

We get discouraged by the pointlessness
And we're pretty quick to judge things pointless
There's what I want and what I need
And the latter takes a while to see
It doesn't matter how often, how old
It starts with an awkward beginning
I believe that what I've learned has worth
And what I choose to do means something

So honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
And how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
'Cause no one really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh ho oh ho

Crowds and the noise receding
Down to just you and me, yeah
We could do anything you want

So honey if you stay, hey hey
We go all the way
But how am I supposed to know, oh no
When to let the feelings show
Honey if you stay, hey hey
We take it all the way
Whoever really knows, oh no
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh oh

When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
When to let the feelings show, oh oh oh oh
