Songs about uncertainty. Contains some newly-recorded versions of tracks from my "Music About Nothing" project and from albums "Revival" and "Magic! A Wrock Opera" by The Ring of Scribes.
Two, three, four
Look in my eyes
You know I want to love you
The reasons why
Are definitely not few
But anyways
I just can’t convince myself
Believe me please
I’d love to change my mind
But when you love someone
It’s not something you decide
But anyways
Nothing’s ever been so bad
So tell me please
I need someone
I want someone so badly
And though it isn’t you
It’s definitely not me
But anyways
If I could somehow fall in love
Tell me please
I’m sure you’ve never thought about the way I feel
I’m sure I’m the last thing on your mind
But when you listen to this song
I hope you hear your name
In between the lines
But anyways
If I could somehow fall in love
If I could somehow fall in love
Tell me please (Why can't you decide?)
Tell me please (Why can't you decide?)
Tell me please
Oh
I never meant to go this way
I can’t remember why I’m here today
Whenever I want to get on track
I end up coming back
This way
My life was so much simpler then
I want to go to where this all began
But every time I start to try
I end up passing by
This way
And everyone I used to know
Makes me want to go
This way
I was waitin’ for someone to show interest
So I could end my misery
But ev’ry time I think it’s happenin’
Turns out the universe is playin’ tricks on me
I know I’ve got nothing to offer
No reason she’d want me to ask her out
Why would she want to spend an evening with me
When no one wants me around
And I realize
All my chances are gone
And now I know why
I’m alone
‘Cause I am destined to be lonely
For the rest of my life
And I will always be the only one who
Knows I’m alive
And it's alright
I always find myself talking about me
Like a lousy DVD I’m not too interactive
And I have run out of excuses
It’s my unattractiveness that make me so unattractive
So I’ll go away
And leave everyone alone
But they won’t even care
When I’m gone
‘Cause I was destined to be lonely
For the rest of my life
And I will always be the only one who
Knows I’m alive
And it's alright
It’s not that I’m depressed, I just hate myself
I’d rather see her with anyone else
And stop giving me sermons
About how I’m wrong, and you think I’m so great
Because I’m a dude
And you’re a dude
And there are no girls who agree with you
‘Cause I am destined to be lonely
For the rest of my life
And I will always be the only one who
Knows I’m alive
‘Cause I am destined to be lonely
For the rest of my life
And I will always be the only one who
Knows I’m alive
Does she know that I’m alive?
Does she know that I'm alive?
Oh
(I am destined to be lonely)
Does she know that I’m alive?
She doesn’t know that I’m alive
Lego guy
Why are you so small
Lego guy
You don’t matter at all
‘Cause you’re so small
Lego guy
Your hands never move
Lego guy
Whatever do you do
When you can’t move
You never lose your smile
Don’t it hurt after a while?
Lego guy
Remember what I said
Lego guy
Just please don’t lose your head
Because I said
In this world where friends are photos and meaningless movie quotes
And nobody really knows anybody, don’t let it get you down
Call up the Lego guy
And you could say, “Hey, man, what’s up?” and he would say...nothing
Lego guy, rock on
You never lose your smile
Don’t it hurt after a while?
You never lose your smile
Don’t it hurt after a while?
Go away
Let me be
Don’t you know
You bother me
Cut it out
Can’t you see
When you’re here
You bother me
Let me tell you why
I’m sorry
This can’t be
The problem is
You bother me
The sky is falling
And I’m not going to save you
Unless you tell me that
The sky is falling
And I’m not going to save you
This morning, I looked out the window
And the window told me to look out
I saw something I’ve never seen before
Which swept away my doubt
Are we ready yet?
Don’t make me go
I won’t make you stay
Just make me go
I can’t make you stay
We aren’t ready yet
The sky is falling
And I’m not going to save you
Unless you tell me that
The sky is falling
And I’m not going to save you
Unless you tell me that
The sky is falling
And I’m not going to save you
I see you in the store on the cover of a magazine
You say that you're not real, but you seem so real to me, oh
You're tearing holes in my locked up heart
But there's much more than that
That's keeping us apart
'Cause everyone's a foreigner in someone else's home
And everyone wants visitors when they are home alone, oh
You're the one who's gotta take me by the hand
And I can't take it
And you can't take it from me, Jolin
You came to town and I stayed up late just to hear you sing
And I didn't care that I didn't understand a thing, oh
You're tearing holes in me right from the start
Bu there's much more than that
That's keeping us apart
Oh
'Cause everyone's a foreigner in someone else's home
And everyone wants visitors when they are home alone, oh
You're the one who's gotta take me by the hand
And I can't take it
And you can't take it from me
And I know there's nothing I can do
And I realize that there's nothing to you
So why do I feel this way
When I see your face on the front of the corner store
Or on the cover of a magazine
'Cause everyone's a foreigner in someone else's home
And everyone wants visitors when they are home alone, oh
You're the one who's gotta take me by the hand
You're the one who's gotta take me by the hand
And I can't take it
And you can't take it from me, Jolin
My car has a problem
I think it has something
To do with how every time I make a sharp turn
It makes a sound like death
I don't really mind
In fact I do it on purpose sometimes
But every time I do that
Everybody looks around
Looks around at me and says
"Hey, man, what's wrong with your car?
Hey, man, why'd you drive it so hard?"
I'm watching your eyes
I think you don't even know why
You think I've done something wrong
You think I've got a flat, I'm out of gas
Car's stuck in overdrive
It's not my fault
So let me get my back away from this wall
I checked the gas, I don't have a flat
And there's only one thing in this world
That I overdrive
"Hey, man, what's wrong with your car?
Hey, man, why'd you drive it so hard?"
Number one, it's not my car
It's my dad's car
How much money do you think I got?
Number two, what's it matter to you?
I'm never even gonna see you again, no I'm not
Number three, we tried to fix it before
But when we took it in, the guy said the repairs would cost a lot
Number four, I drive thing thing all the time
Don't you think I'd know if it's gonna fall apart?
I'd be okay if the wheels fall off anyway
I'm just sick and tired of hearing you say
With your eyes
In your mind
"Hey, man, what's wrong with your car?
Hey, man, why'd you drive it so hard?"
Hey, man, what’s wrong with your car?
Oh, yeah
It's pretty lame I'm already tired of this
I just barely started
But I just can't take the rejection
And though it's possible she wants me to
What if she doesn't?
You know that that would hurt a ton
So, let's go to the sun
It's warm there, and there's no one
And no one there will tell me that I'm crazy
I'm hearing hints in things she says to me
But just like Alderaan
They're not really there
So, instead of risking it all so I can be with her
I'm gonna run away
And she won't even care
So, let's go to the sun
It's warm there, and there's no one
And no one there will tell me they don't want me
We'll melt into the sunset
And when it's over
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be alright
(Let’s go to the sun and then
We won’t be sad we’re all alone now)
(I want to tell you)
Let's go to the sun
It's warm there and there's no one
And no one there will tell me that I'm crazy
I know it's really dumb
But I'm not talking to anyone
So let's go to the sun
The sun
I see you now, but you don’t see me
I want to know why we just can’t be
You will always be here, but you’ll never be near
You’re so far away
I look up, you look down, I don’t know what to say
I speak your name, you turn away
Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?
You’re so far away
I can’t get over to where you are
Across the river’s just to far
I don’t know what I’m doin’ now
Do you know what I’m doin’ now?
You’re in my dreams, but I’m in your way
I can’t figure out what to do today
I just wanna find why I’m always behind
You’re so far away
You pass me up, don’t know we met
I think of you, I don’t forget
My first draft is due, but I can’t get it to you
You’re so far away
I can’t get over to where you are
Across the river’s just to far
I don’t know what I’m doin’ now
Do you know what I’m doin’ now?
I don’t think I can make it
Without you now
I just can’t take it
‘Cause girl, you’re so far away
I can’t get over to where you are
Across the river’s just to far
I don’t know what I’m doin’ now
I can’t get over to where you are
Across the river’s just to far
I don’t know what I’m doin’ now
Do you know what I’m doin’ now?
