Les paroles


1. AT THE LIBRARY

Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you
My chance is looking a bit grey

[Chorus]
Staring across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

What is it that drives me mad?
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me feel so much pain?
That makes me go so insane
What is it about you that I adore?

[Chorus]

What time - Ah!

Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well - It happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday (x3)
Someday


2. DON'T LEAVE ME

[Verse]
I'll go for miles
Till I find you
You say you want to leave me
But you can't choose
I've gone through pain
Every day and night
I feel my mind is going insane
Something I can't fight

Don't leave me (x2)

A blank expression
Covering your face
I'm looking for directions
For out of this place
I start to wonder
If you'll come back
I feel the rain storming after thunder
I can't hold back

Don't leave me (x4)

[Verse]

Don't leave me (x4)


3. I WAS THERE

Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures - Faces - Girls I've loved
I try to remember when
Faded memories on the walls
Of names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory
I look back on so often

[Chorus] (x2)
I look into the past
And I want to make it last
I was there (x2)

Looking back what I have done
There's lots more life to live
At times I feel overwhelmed
I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow

[Chorus] (x2)

Looking back upon my life - Why my life?
Faded memories on the walls - On the walls
Looking now at who I am - Who am I?
I don't let it get me down - Why did somebody get me down?

Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures - Faces - Girls I've loved
I try to remember when
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow

[Chorus] (x2)


4. DISAPPEARING BOY

Now you see me - Now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Treated like a forbidden heel
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again

Am I here or am I there?
Or am I playing on the stairs?
Am I in my room with my toys?
I am the disappearing boy

When I walk in crowded rooms
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In that room I see her
I see her and she's with him
I turn and then I'm gone

[Chorus]
Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I am the disappearing boy

I have my doubts
Of where I belong
It's something to think about

[Chorus]


5. GREEN DAY

A small cloud has fallen
The white mist hits the ground
My lungs comfort me with joy
Vegging on one detail
The rest just crowds around
My eyes itch of burning red

[Pre-Chorus]
Picture sounds
Of moving insects so surreal
Lay around
Looks like I found something new

[Chorus]
Laying in my bed
I think I'm in left field
I picture someone - I think it's you
You're standing so damn close
My body begins to swell
Why does 1 + 1 make 2?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]


6. GOING TO PASALACQUA

[Verse]
Here we go again - Infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh - But then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Well - I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of effection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well - I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey

[Chorus]
Would it last forever?
If you and I together - Hand and hand
We run away - Far away
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give
That comes my way - Far away

[Verse]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Far away


7. 16

[Verse]
Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older and older all the time
I ask you now - What does this mean?
Are all these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you're a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
The length I've gone are just long miles
Would they be shorter if I were dead?

[Chorus]
Everytime I look in my past
I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair?

Look at my friends and see what they've done
Ask myself why they've had to change
I like them better when they were young
Now all these times are rearranged
I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same
The sun is rising - Now I ask why?
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain

[Chorus]

[Verse]

[Chorus]


8. ROAD TO ACCEPTANCE

(x2)
I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
Do you feel the same? (x2)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
It's calling my name (x2)

[Chorus]
I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain

All my life I've seen to have this need
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join this family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (x2)


9. REST

[Verse]
Hey - Can you hear me?
I'm calling your name
Hello? - Is this goodbye?
The gleam in your eyes
It troubles my brain
Will I see it again?
So I can rest my head

Angel - Angel - Dancing away
As all of my thoughts get rearranged
Angel - Angel - Turning away
Just when things seem
To have changed
So I can rest my head

[Verse]

So I can rest my head


10. THE JUDGE'S DAUGHTER

Princess in the school girl's dream
May I please speak with you?
I'm having troubles with control
And it's all because of you
Today I kept on falling down
I thought it was the street
And so I looked down at my shoes
They were on the wrong feet

[Chorus]
And I find it hard to be myself
Can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health
You're the one to blame
You're the one I wish I had
And now my girlfriend's getting mad
I cannot call this sane (x2)

Today as I was walking down
You bumped into me
You said "excuse me" and walked away
As I dropped down on my knees
I prayed to the being in the sky
That my parents told me of
I asked about you but no reply
No clues about your love

And I find it hard to be myself
Can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health
You're the one to blame
My girlfriend left me on the phone
I pathetically left here alone
I cannot call this sane (x2)

[Bridge]
Can we find a way?
So that you can stay
I think I'm gonna Pop

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
