Planned a show
Trees and balloons
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
The way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows

No matter where you are

I can still hear you when you drown

You've traveled very far

Just to see you I'll come around

When I'm down

All of those yesterdays

Coming around

No matter where you are

I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")

You traveled very far

You traveled far, like a star

And you are

All of those yesterdays

Coming around

Is it something someone said?

Was it something someone said?

Yesterday the sky was you

And I still feel the same

Nothing left for me to do

And I still feel the same

I wish, I wish I could fly

I wish, I wish I could lie

I will, I will try

I will, I will

Goodbye

Freak out
And give in
Doesn’t matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody’s fool this year
‘Cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I’m told
Who wants honey
As long as there’s some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
‘Cause deep down
We are frightened and we’re scared
If you don’t stare
Who wants honey
As long as there’s some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow’s much too long
I’ll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire
Right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin’ dues
Down to see
That we don’t even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
As you can see there’s no one around

My reflection, dirty mirror

There’s no connection to myself

I’m your lover, I’m your zero

I’m the face in your dreams of glass

So save your prayers

For when we’re really gonna need ’em

Throw out your cares and fly

Wanna go for a ride?

She’s the one for me

She’s all I really need

Cause she’s the one for me

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness

Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship

I never let on that I was down

You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore

You blame yourself for wanting more

She’s the one for me

She’s all I really need

She’s the one for me

She’s my one and only

Time is never time at all

You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

And our lives are forever changed

We will never be the same

The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe

That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain

We’re not the same, we’re different tonight

Tonight, so bright

Tonight

And you know you’re never sure

But you’re sure you could be right

If you held yourself up to the light

And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe

In the resolute urgency of now

And if you believe there’s not a tonight

Tonight, so bright

Tonight

We’ll crucify the insincere tonight

We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight

We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight

The indescribable moments of your life tonight

The impossible is possible tonight

Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

I lie, I wait
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough
I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I’m not
I was, I want too much
Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch
It’s not enough, just a touch

It’s you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You’ll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever leave behind
In time
In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you’ll always be my whore
Cause you’re the one that I adore
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty
In you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god

I know

We’re just like old friends

We just can’t pretend

That lovers make amends

We are

Reasons so unreal

We can’t help but feel

That something has been lost

But please

You know you’re just like me

Next time

I promise we’ll be perfect

Perfect

Perfect

Strangers down the line

Lovers out of time

Memories unwind

So far I still know who you are

But now I wonder who I was

Angel

You know it’s not the end

We’ll always be good friends

But the letters have been sent on

So please

You always were so free

You’ll see

I promise we’ll be perfect

Perfect

Perfect

Strangers when we meet

Strangers on the street

Lovers while we sleep

Perfect

You know this has to be

We always were so free

We promised that we’d be

Perfect

You know I’m not dead

You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

You know I’m not dead

Now you know where I’ve been

As you sleep, torn I am

Weighted down patiently

Born of love

You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

I’m just living in my head

Forever waiting on the ways of your desire

You always find a way

And through it all, into us all you move

Forgotten touch

Forbidden thought

We can never have enough

You know I’m not dead

You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

You know I’m not dead

Found below, the creatures scream

Stranglehold, a god machine

Begin to tear us out

What is hell

You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

I’m just the tears inside your head

Forever waiting on the ways of your desire

You always find a way

And through it all, into us all you move

Forgotten touch

Forbidden thought

We can never have enough

You know I’m not dead

We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze

Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway

But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog

The fickle fascination of an everlasting god

You know I’m not dead

I’m just living in my head

Forever waiting

Forever waiting a cruel death

You know I’m not dead

I’m just living for myself

Forever waiting

You know I’m not dead

You know I’m not dead

You know I’m not dead

You and me

Meant to be

Immutable

Impossible

It’s destiny

Pure lunacy

Incalculable

Inseparable

And for the last time

You’re everything that I want and asked for

You’re all that I dream

Who wouldn’t be the one you love

Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

Protected and the lover of

A pure soul

And beautiful

You

Don’t understand

Don’t feel me now

I will breath

For the both of us

Travel the world

Traverse the skies

Your home is here

Within my heart

And for the first time

I feel as though I am reborn in my mind

Recast as child and mystic sage

Who wouldn’t be the one you love

Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

For the first time

I’m telling how much I need and bleed for

Your every move and waking sound in my time

I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart

And your mind

You’re mine forever now

Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for

Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for

Who wouldn’t be the one you love

Pop tart

What’s our mission

Do we know

But never listen

For too long

They held me under

But I hear

It’s almost over

In detroit

On a memphis train

Like you said

It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of

The automatic gauze of your memories

Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit longer

Try to hold on

To this love

Aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart’s

A little bit colder

Try to hold on

To this love

Paperback scrawl your hidden poem

Written around the dried out flowers

Here we are still trading places

To try to hold on

Pop tart

Can you envision

A free world

Of clear division

For too long

They held us under

But I know

We’re getting over

In detroit

With the nashville tears

Like you said

It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers

Down in the gaze of solemnity

Down in the way you held together

To try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit closer

Try to hold on

To this love

Aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart’s

A little bit older

Try to hold on

To this love

Aloud

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

And no one should deny

We try to hold on

To the pulse of a feedback current

Into the flow of the cryptic movement

Slapback kills the ancient remnants

That try to hold on

Try to hold on

To this heart

Alive

Try to hold on

To this love

Aloud

Try to hold on

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

You never listen

Skinned knees

Try to hold on

Stop start

What’s our mission

Skinned knees

Fall into the century on a supersonic cross

Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss

Calling out I won’t surrender a locket of her hair

Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs

Into the dark again

To feel alive again, and wait for

Real love

Or is it me you’re after

Is it time

‘Cause it’s now or never

Real love

Real love forever

Real love

Born of the ball and chain

Into a world sustained with sorrow

Real love

A real touch we speak in

Is it ours

Or is it what we’re seekin’

Real love

In the eyes, behold and you’ll find the 21st century

You detonate her will and her widowed speech

Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin

That held her mother’s first kiss in a nameless dream

Fall down the stairs again

To feel alive against tomorrow

Real love

Or is it me you’re after

Is it time

‘Cause it’s now or never

Real love

Real love forever

Is it love

Or just yours to treasure

Real love

Real love

Real love

We never listen

Real love will listen

And tell her of a fortune

Real love is riches

Scratch through the changes

Real love is nameless

So tired and hopeless

Real love is painless

Nobody mentions

We ever move to collect

The solar questions

Demon scorn should not relax

The laws of gravity

Real love

Anyone can hold a promise

Not everyone can feel honored

Turn me on, hear me speak

Let me be what I need

You’re enough for me

Many times while you sleep

I’m dreaming of what to keep

To know your wish, hold it true

To slay the things that trouble you

Turn me on, out of reach

Listen here, feel me

Just believe, just believe

You’ll see

To feel love, to be in love

All around

Hold the truth if you want it

If you don’t, I won’t flaunt it

To feel love, to be in love

When you’re young you can promise

Anything that you wanted

To be in love, to feel love all around

Turn me on, let me speak

From my heart, I receive

Plain happiness, just happiness

You and me

It’s in blood

I suppose

Breaking jars

I’m no good

As the prodigal son

And I know that you’re mesmerized

You had a vision, made these laws

And sanitized, are we above desires

I miss him so

You are so fucked

It has begun

Revolution crawls

All over you

I was listening

You light up the sky

And scrape out your skull

Your lovely face

Will never be claimed thrice

And we’re so unlikely to

Upon my wrists I bear the cross

My losses mount as I climb across the home

Of my own soul

I’ll claim my prize

I don’t exist

I am divine

A ghost with eyes

Love is a sentimental heart

Life is a sentimental way

Spy the fragile heart so cursed

As he walks across this earth

I'm disconnected by your smile

Disconnect a million miles

And what you promised me

I hope will set you free

I'm disconnected by your smile

And all I gave to you is lost

And all you took from me is lost

Black wings carry me so high

Up to meet you in the sky

I'm disconnected by your smile

Disconnect a million miles

And what you promised me

I hope will set you free

I'm disconnected by your smile

Wishing you were real to me

Wishing I could make believe

I'll take my secrets to the grave

Safely held beneath the waves

Always knew I couldn't save

Always knew I couldn't save you

Midnight people

Rushing for a downtown train

Watching and wasting away

Their hearts beat free

Cool frequency

And I don’t know what it is

I’m gonna run the slow dawn

Seeking sigh, oh so faint

I’m gonna run the slow dawn awake

It’s blessed undone

The songbirds all around

And I’m not sure what it is

But I’m sure that I could give it

Awake the slow dawn

Slow dawn moves by my side

Teach your silent sleep

Slow dawn

The midnight people

Washing down here, wasting way

They’re gonna run the slow dawn awake

The slow dawn awake

The slow dawn awake

Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine

For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you

We’re so young

And we’re so dumb

With our registered calculations

And if you dare

And should I care

I could destroy you

And take you there

As the spitfires begin their descent

And tragic romantic ascent

My love is one hundred percent

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

Mistake, it was all my mistake

So suck me through

Your saliva screws

I can’t help myself if I don’t know

The flaws in you

That were equal to

The mysteries I’ve almost knew

And I’ve said this so many, many times

Can’t help you out of your mind

So please don’t judge me unkind

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

And if you pretend

Please try to offend everyone

We share the sea monkey disease

So give me my greatful little piece

And do what you want as you please

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

Come back to me, my mistake

Away to the side you move your head
Gravity fingers dig in your back
The strangest man won’t let you breathe
Rocking on you in a movie scene
His words fill your mouth
His guests bleed sick
Devoid of touch
He lets out to the streets where you were raised
Sittin’ home waiting for the coming age
You had to wait your turn
You had to wait your turn
Wake up early, wash up late
Satellites connect you to your hate
Your patience grows but your skin is thin
The pager signals they’re coming in
Through the hole in the wall
You left the hole in the wall
Here’s to the atom bomb
May everyone find a way to get on
A little piece of heaven is all you seek
In the same old re-run week after week
Their faces make you want to kill
The little piece of heaven singin’ on the windowsill
No lights can turn you on
Pixelate the night
Reading the words
Of your eyes on the streets where you were born
Sittin’ home waiting for the coming dawn
Near the hole in the wall
You left a hole in the wall

Secret serpentine smile

Distant crying child

You’re my lost little love

You’re my lost little one

Urgent arrow

Arcane echo

My, my, my have we thrown

Together apart

And together again

We will scatter friends

Like the whistling wind

You can see me wave

Same, I’m the same

But if I did

And I meet you there

You’ll hold my hand

Pretend you understand

That I’m just one man

Still a boy perhaps

Simple silent humble human being

We will scatter friends

Like the whistling wind

You can see me wave

Same, I’m the same

And eiffel towers

And distant isles

And ocean miles

And mountain wilds

And film stars

And restless charge

Moving roaring

Soaring gone, gone, gone

And with built-in lion ears

I can hear you now

Length: 3:47

Written By: Billy Corgan

Please drive slow

I’ve never been this way before

Violence reels in the underground

Yes, I am waiting

In silence throe

To fill the meetings

To strike me down

No more a reason

Than god above

Let your curses run

Yes, I am waiting

For your love

For your love

Radio waves of a dying sun

Radio speaks my soul alone

Forget my names, erase the page

Antennas draw the passengers

Yes, I am waiting

In silence throe

My blood of treason

My tears of hope

No more a feeling

Than being cold

Of playing on

Yes, I am waiting

As I walk your streets

Yes, I am waiting

As I ride your dreams

Yes, I am waiting

Inside your doubts

Inside your doubts

Just let me out

Just let me out

Judas O version

Additional Info: Slightly shorter than the "Machina II" version.

The clever make the world weary
To pull it from its moorings
To fawn the young wicked roost
To weather the coming storms
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now
Saturnine
How I love to waste your time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Goodbye all you widows
Tearstained underneath
Blessed to the many
Who are seeking some relief
They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You’ll always run
But you cannot find
Saturnine
Saturnine
Saturnine
You were waiting all this time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Camera take this picture
The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our light
We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You’ll always run
But you’ll never find
Saturnine
Saturnine
How I’d love to make you mine
Saturnine
Saturnine
To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I am sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone chooses sides
Shatter this faith broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here while forgotten
Carrying forth this child

Hey kids, rock and roll

Rock on, ooh my soul

Hey kids, it’s no use sleepin’

Lost out, summertime blues

Jump up and die in your blue suede shoes

Hey kids, rock and roll

We’re gonna rock on

Where do we go from here

Which is the way that’s clear

Still looking for that blue jean baby queen

Prettiest girl I’ve ever seen

See her die on my movie screens every day

Rock on

Hey kids, rock and roll

Rock on, ooh my soul

Hey kids it’s no use dreamin’

Lost out and full of doubt

Shut up, cracked out

Hey kids, rock and roll

We’re gonna rock on

Where do we go from here

Which is the way that’s clear

Where do we go from here

Which is the way that’s clear

Still lookin’ for that blue jean baby queen

Prettiest girl I’ve never seen

See her die on my movie screens every day

Rock on

Rock on

Rock on

Rock on

And the cradle will rock

Yes, the cradle, the cradle will rock

I said rock on

Rock on

Everybody wants some

I want some too

Everybody wants some

Hey how about you

I said rock on

Rock on

Rock on

Rock on

Rock on

Rock on

Hey kids, rock and roll

We’re gonna rock on, rock on

To your song

Hey kids, rock and roll

We’re gonna rock on

Rock on

We’re gonna rock on, rock on, rock on

Born to please, every simple need

I stand alone in my thoughts indeed

Hate you

For ever making me

I’m in you, I’m your anything

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

Come to me, let me hold you still

I’m so tired, just as tired as you

Take me for anyone but me

All that you feel is never true

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

When you say that you are

Forever my star

Could never let you go, no, no

And never let you know

Let roar these fears

To the whore of my tears

Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes

Suck you like the sap from a tree

Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

When you say that you are

Forever my star

Could never let you go, no, no

Never let you know

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

And if I fall into you all

Will my rain cease and dissolve

Some come to harm, others to grace

So let my friends fly under these wings

We’re giving it up to the sun

We’re giving it up to the moon

We’re giving it up to the earth

Giving it up from our room

Know when there’s nowhere to run

Know when there’s not much to lose

Sometimes it seems so long

Since you had a chance to refuse

We built a fire

Winterlong

Transform to iron

Winterlong

I was the first one

I was the last one to be strong

And if I fall into you all

Will the silence shatter and stall

Some feel movement, others stand still

So let the moment become my will

We’re giving it up to the sun

We’re giving it up to the moon

We’re giving it up to the earth

Giving it up from our rooms

Know when there’s nowhere to run

Know when there’s not much to lose

So why does it take so long

To find out who is who

We built a fire

Winterlong

Transform to iron

Winterlong

I was the first one

I was the last one to be strong

We’re giving it up to the sun

Giving it up to the moon

We’re giving it up the the earth

Giving it up from your room

We’re giving it up to the sun

Giving it up to the moon

The words flow

Decisions made

Idea’s mine

But the inspiration not

Dreams of hangers-on

Dreams of getting well

Spells of esmeralda

Amarose fortold

Splinters in the eye

Sentiments remain

Bones are never asked

Where are we going to

It was never up to me

And yet I pushed until it broke

I love the open road

And all that it suggests

Wheelwagon dust

Weeds and infidelities

And always swore our love

Never questioned why

In a wooden house

Immovable and silent

And drinking strawberry wine

Forever lost in town

And through the sleeping streets

Nightbound and heavy

Wheels in a spoke

Just a spoken foreign sound

Know my gates are high

My friends even higher

Forgotten in my mind

Yet the scars still lingering

Cloud the blue skies

I’m jealous of you birds

Was the only truth

In a world full of words

Hear the prairie sound

In a friend called neil

The heart is pointed down

But my spirit pointed up

His voice the siren

Of greek mythology

I pause with my pen

I begin to defend

Every action taken

Every moment sealed

When I was quick

It coursed through open veins

The will to live

The urgency to move

Behind a panel door

Sealing cherry stain

I played my guitar

And lived those lonesome notes

Like a dog that’s down

In a corner just aside

Waiting to be called

Waiting to be yours

Ghosts of a machine

Without purpose or will

I’ll often speak of you

But the you was always me

‘Cause when I speak of me

It’s me I ask of you

So let there be no truth

Just trickery in rhymes

Time the only thing

Waiting still is death

I hope for resolution

Pray one defining moment

Pause without restraint

Barren without child

A child is who I was

A child is who I’ll die

A child is who I’ll die

Soot in my hair

And stars in my hands

Soot in my hair

And stars in my hands

Soot in my hair

And stars in my hands

The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can’t explain myself
What I’d hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don’t say I hadn’t told you so
Maybe you need me around
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can’t explain myself just what it’s worth
It was all I had, but not all I’d need
And I can’t escape the fact that I still bleed
And if you’re still feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I’ve done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing all right now
Maybe you need me around
