1. Don't Beat Yourself Up

Don't beat yourself up when there's no one to fight
When you crawl back into your hole at the end of the night
You don't know what you need but you know what you want
You always try to take the lead but they end up in front

Keep your ear to the ground and your time will come
Another year comes around when the crying is done
You can be anybody you like
Rather than someone that you hate

Raindrops on your window while you're drifting to sleep
Washing away all the memories that you wish you could keep
You hold onto the feelings that are no longer there
You wish that you were stronger but you can't seem to care

Keep your ear to the ground and your time will come
Another year comes around when the crying is done
You can be anybody you like
Rather than someone
That you hate

Keep your ear to the ground and your time will come
Another year comes around when the crying is done
You can be anybody you like
Rather than someone
That you hate

Don't beat yourself up when there's no one to fight
When you crawl back into your hole at the end of the night
You don't know what you need but you know what you want
You always try to take the lead but they end up in front

Keep your ear to the ground and your time will come
Another year comes around when the crying is done
Keep your ear to the ground and your time will come
Another year comes around when the crying is done
Keep your ear to the ground
Another year comes around
You can be anybody you like
Rather than someone
That you hate
That you hate




2. Contradictions

She says that she's afraid to get to close
Yet she's still so clingy
She tells me whats she hates the most
Every time she rings me
(Why don't you call me?)
(Why don't you call me?)

And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?
And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?

She tells me that she's so independent
Every time she's with me
She tells me she doesn't like affection
And then she starts to Kiss me

And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?
And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?

She tells me there's no way that we could last
Every time I see her
She tells me all about her tragic past
What a drag it is to be her
She says that she's afraid to get too close
Yet she's still so clingy
She tells me what she hates the most
Every time she rings me
(Why don't you call me?)
(Why don't you call me?)

And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?
And I don't know why
Because if I'm not the guy for her
Then why would I care?




2. Swiss Lady

I lay down in the arms of my Swiss lady
she knows just what to do to ease my pain
and although I'll be leaving in the morning
I hope that I'll be with her again
and though my time is up as the day is dawning
I hope that I'll be with her again

Two long hours on a train
with a picture of pure beauty by my side
sure I know we only just connected
but I feel as though she opened my eyes wide

I lay down in the arms of my Swiss lady
she knows just what to do to ease my pain
and although I'll be leaving in the morning
I hope that I'll be with her again

The tunnels through the mountains take me with her
to a city called Lucerne is where we'll be
she warns me of a recent jealous lover
but honestly that doesn't bother me

I lay down in the arms of my Swiss lady
she knows just what to do to ease my pain
and although I'll be leaving in the morning
I hope that I'll be with her again
