    Lyrics

    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

    Lyrics

    What’s the matter
    What’s the difference
    You’ll feel better if you lie
    With the stars in your eyes
    Honey, honey
    Where’s my baby
    She know better than to cry
    With the stars in her eyes
    There is
    No safe place to go
    I should know
    The lame
    And the droll have needs
    To let their feelings show
    What’s the matter
    What’s the difference
    What’s the question
    You’ll feel better
    If you lie
    With the stars in your eyes
    There is
    No safe place to go
    I should know
    The lame
    And the droll have needs
    To let their feelings show
    Bury your heart in a hole
    Bury your heart in a
    Bury your heart in a
    Bury your heart in a hole

    Additional Info: From Jesse Miller's Studio Recordings History (2000): "An alternate acoustic version of Mayonaise (erroneously dubbed a demo) was included on the 1991-1998 promo; this is actually an alternate mix of the released studio version, featuring the slightly phased acoustic click track (which can be heard on the album version notably at 3:35) and a tambourine."

    Lyrics

    Fool enough to almost be it

    Cool enough to not quite see it

    Doomed

    Pick your pockets full of sorrow

    And run away with me tomorrow

    June

    We'll try and ease the pain

    But somehow we'll feel the same

    Well, no one knows

    Where our secrets go

    I send a heart to all my dearies

    When your life is so, so dreary

    Dream

    I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

    While the harlots of my perils

    Scream

    And I fail

    But when I can, I will

    Try to understand

    That when I can, I will

    Mother weep the years I'm missing

    All our time can't be given

    Back

    Shut my mouth and strike the demons

    That cursed you and your reasons

    Out of hand and out of season

    Out of love and out of feeling

    So bad

    When I can, I will

    Words defy the plans

    When I can, I will

    Fool enough to almost be it

    And cool enough to not quite see it

    And old enough to always feel this

    Always old, I'll always feel this

    No more promise no more sorrow

    No longer will I follow

    Can anybody hear me

    I just want to be me

    When I can, I will

    Try to understand

    That when I can, I will

    Lyrics

    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 not enough, just a touch
    It’s not enough, just a touch
    It’s not enough, just a touch
