As the sun rise
On New York City
You're lying broken in the street
In your white suit, with your gold watch
As the blood stain seeps through your shirt
In the ER
There's a blue wall
That some people call the final shore
As they give you respiration
Perspiration rolls down your sleeve
To the gold watch
No longer ticking, its hands are sticking
At 12:19
I said: "Hey, you're gonna lose your body, you're gonna lose your body.....but not your mind."

Cold alarm
That I set for you
Woke up in my arms
What could you do?
And you're running out, in and out of cars
You're so far now from being a star
It's a cold alarm
And it's a long goodbye
That I say to you
Don't look in my eyes
What could you do?
You're running out in and out of time
You're so far now from being alive
It's a cold alarm

Maybe I don't really love you
But baby, I've been thinking of you
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away
And it's a fool who keeps believing
That love can take a daily beating
How much will I take before I say enough?
How much will I take before I say I don't need you anymore?
Maybe I don't really love you
But baby, I've been thinking of you
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away
And there's a world I want to live in
It's on the other side of that street and
I think I can see myself walking across
I think I can see myself walking across away from you
But maybe we can make some changes?
Baby there must be one change that
can end this cycle of broken hearts
One more day and I'll fall apart
Maybe I don't really love you
But baby, I've been thinking of you
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away
It hurts if I stay, or if I go away

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
