I walked alone Through the heart of the city And surrounded by people, I found my way out Trying so hard, Keeping feet on the pavement Looking for consolation Behind every doubt And I'll decide it When I've been here a while I'll be better In a couple of years When the thoughts hurting now have departed I walked alone, Through the trouble I started And the city compounds it And tears at my clothes I just need some time 'Cause I'm still far from perfect, But someday when I get there, I'll come right back home And I'll decide it When I've been here a while I'll be better In a couple of years When the thoughts hurting now have departed

Oh, Buddy 02:16
It was always a Wednesday thing And it wasn't something we ever spoke about much Night time would fall and so too would our inhibitions, Governing what men should be up to in the middle of the work week And maybe it was the physical contact-- Maybe somewhere along the way, we decided we needed it Twisting, And Bending-- Flesh against wet flesh and linoleum Well, it wasn't how things started, But it's where we ended up And Tim Dillinger--he used to say, "Beware the man with nothing to lose" But I never knew who he was talking about We all had something to lose, Even Summer Sam, and he'd started this whole mess But it was a lot of that-- Loose talk, loose limbs, and a loose way for us to be living Not that it was ever meant to last And of course, it didn't Years later, I ran into Tim He'd been in touch with some of the guys Summer Sam had died a few years back Nobody'd bothered to tell me Tim noticed my hand twitch--same as it used to A small, involuntary reminder That it was Wednesday again I had never had managed to shake the convulsions He asked me, "how do you feel?" And I said, "Oh, buddy"

A lady fell into my pocket And I wanted to make everything So perfect In her, I was often Caught up in an old fantasy But it's always the same When I'm coming back down-- Try to own it--a moment for me Some pleasures I'll take Baby, that's all I need 'Cause everything's better this way Night after night, I've been thinking And I'm looking for someone to blame For the hole in my chest that's been sinking Maybe everything's better this way But it's always the same When I'm coming back down-- Try to own it--a moment for me Some pleasures I'll take Baby, that's all I need 'Cause everything's better this way

I guess there's not so much to say Seems like a light one Maybe I'll go home It's just some news and bills to pay Some coffee filters-- Some paper towel rolls And in the driveway, I can see The same old car you had on Monday You sure are home a lot this week And I don't know who you think you're fooling 'Cause I will wait forever When we are together-- No conditions or restraining orders I'll be glad to see it-- History repeated, Just in time for me to make it up to you And when the day turns into night, I'm crouched behind a row of bushes And by the dim of window light, I feel the heat I had forgotten 'Cause I will wait forever When we are together-- No conditions or restraining orders I'll be glad to see it-- History repeated, Just in time for me to make it up to you

Inside of your heart I don't think I'll stay I think you'll forget When I go away Inside of your heart Things happen so fast I knew from the start That this wouldn't last Inside of your heart There isn't much room I thought I was done now Competing with you Inside of your heart I thought there was time For me to be yours and For you to be mine Maybe you don't know it like I do Maybe you're happy And trying to cling to The things that you know The things you can see I thought for a while You'd make room for me Inside of your heart There's nothing but trash All smashed into corners Like pieces of glass Inside of your heart I don't think I'll stay You'll fill it with someone When I go away Maybe you don't know it like I do Maybe you're happy And trying to cling to The things that you know The things you can see I thought for a while You'd make room for me

Stuck in an argument Throwing up endless sentences And meaningless divides On each side is you and me And nothing else

Is it real cold on the moon? Are you coming back home to me soon? And when you plunge Back in the ocean Will you still be the same? Is there still blue in your eyes? Did it pass when you burst through the sky? With darkness around you, Do you feel it on you, Tugging at your neck? While you're up there spinning around, With no feet on the ground, Through emptiness stealing your breath, Do you think of me? Is it too quiet tonight? Can you recreate voices alright? Do they rattle you And chill you too? Do they drag you back down from up high? Do bad moments pull you apart? Or is the mission so close to your heart That you hold a screen To everything And everyone behind your mark? Are you keeping logs every day? Are you writing the darkness away? Is your laughter so cheap- And your longing too deep To let simple thoughts stand in your way? While you're up there, spinning around With no feet on the ground Through emptiness stealing your breath Do you think of me?
