can i say, there’s nothing getting in my way?
oh, nothing’s gunna bring down
after all that i found
at the bottom of the well
i, i am nothing more than you see
just a soul trying to be
so throw away the misery
yeah, that was me i was the fool
the very greatest of them all
took a tumble did i fall
oh, can i say, i love you today?

oh, nothing’s gunna bring down
after all that I found
At the bottom of the well

underwater garden
and you know how i’m feeling
you can read it in my eyes
i was never good at disguise
or deceiving you bad
though you made up your own stories
just to satisfy that mind
In your underwater garden
where the dream keeps running
and i, i wanna be just like that
yeah, swim off and don’t look back
yeah i, i wanna be just like that yeah
swim off and don’t look back
and i feel kind of sorry
for your life that’s without air
you were never right for this one
so you’re better off down there
where you chose a fantasy world
over truth before your eyes
it’s really silly baby
you’ve bought your own lies
and i, i wanna be just like that
yeah, swim off and don’t look back
yeah i, i wanna be just like that yeah
swim off and don’t look back
social paranoia
it’s going round your skull
it snatched up all your questions yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
in your underwater garden

the sun was stolen from our skies
and now that there’s no day
i never get to see those eyes

whatever makes her sad
whatever makes her happy
won’t be long baby ‘till it’s time
to put it back and get on with this life
we really are the very lucky ones
don’t switch off baby know your mind
and while you wait
i’m kicking down the doors
the man needs for it’s profit wars
yeah it’s okay
to live how you want to live
with nothing in the way
you give all you gotta give
but on that day
the sun was stolen from our skies
and now that there’s no day

whatever makes her sad
whatever makes her happy

to bring you right back into this view

it’s a damned un-holy stain
on my name

Everyday Sunday
05:11
|

everyday sunday
been through this before
it’s hell on earth
feeling down a lot
these days
for sure
i don’t trust anyone
that’s getting closer
still
it’s broken
i know
no trust
over it again
second guessing
time alone
with you
i know it’s a sad old time
life slipping by
hold on to your precious mind
keep, keep it in line
i never meant you wrong
oh how we got along
i’d sing another song
and you’d pick out the pieces
i need to let you know
that you did nothing wrong
just the way the river flows
i’ll meet you in the ocean
no hope
thinking like that
getting too old
to waste the days together
i know it’s a sad old time
life slipping by
hold on to your precious mind
keep, keep it in line
i never meant you wrong
oh how we got along
i’d sing another song
and you’d pick out the pieces
i need to let you know
that you did nothing wrong
just the way the river flows
i’ll meet you in the ocean
