You're pretty goddamn strange,
or just a bit insane,
and nothing like the one that when I was young I pictured
but you're her anyways.
Our plans may never happen and the presents always passing,
so I'm working on filling up my past with,
memories and accidents,
nights full of laughing,
people and love that aren't passing,
and times I almost gave up but didn't,
I'm writing the story of my life and I want you in it.
I want you so let's go to the beginning,
because I'm tired of this lonely living.
Your hair is all wrong,
and your eyes are all wrong.
Your name is all wrong,
but I like the way you wear it,
I like the way they shine,
I like the way it sounds next to mine.
Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was wrong,
maybe I was what was wrong with love all along.
It's not something that you get to decide,
no it's just some faceless monster that wakes you in the night,
and I was alone when I saw it, in a cold, cold sweat,
because I realized there was nothing in the world that I've found yet,
no long perfect day, or wild manic minute that was better
than having you in it.
So let's go to the beginning,
because I'm tired of this lonely living.
Let's get back to the beginning,
because I just don't like life without you in it.
When I say that you're strange what I mean is you're not the same,
as anyone I've ever known and that freaks me out.
When I say you're insane, well what I meant,
is you're the only girl that I get.
When I say that you're great, really really great,
well what I mean baby is when I see your shape in the
grey morning light, and it's bunched up next to mine,
when I feel your breath settling on my chest,
I get freaked out because what if this is the best it ever gets,
what if you go and I've got to live in the shadow of what I've missed?
So when I say I hope you'll stay,
and forgive me for mistakes that I make along the way,
I hope you know that I mean it, I hope you know that I mean it,
I hope you know.
So let's go to the beginning,
because I'm tired of this lonely living.
Let's get back to the beginning,
because I just don't like life without you in it.

One in a Million

One in a million, just a face in the crowd,
I just wanted to make you happy but I don't know how.
One in a million, feel it in my bones,
it's better to be weird and creepy, than just unknown.
One in a million, one more waking dream,
one more kid who's killing himself just to be seen.
One in a million, one more drop in the sea,
One in a million, one grain on a beach.
Maybe we're all in this together but there'll still be a loser and a winner
a stand out, and a stand around.
Every blade of grass, stretches towards the sun,
and they all grow fast the day the rains come,
but not a head above because they don't push and they don't shove,
but we can, and i can, and i do,
because I'm one in a million,
I'm on in a million,
I'm one of the multitudes.
I'm one in a million,
I'm one in a million,
I'm one in a million and so are you.

Bastard

I got my face slapped by a woman I loved
got my nose punched in by a friend,
I've been get the hell out'd, and shut the hell up'd
again and again and again.
Oh I deserved it,
I've been a bastard so I've earned it
but I've paid my dues, and then a few,
so if you can forgive me for the man I've been baby,
I could do good by you.
I've broken a heart and I've told a lie,
I've taken for my own what was not to be mine.
I've been tossed out, and I've been talked down,
been embarrassed and depressed and alone in a crowd.
Oh I deserved it,
I've been a bastard so I've earned it,
but I've payed my dues, and then a few
so if you can forgive me for the man I've been
I could do good by you,
and be a man you want,
be a man you deserve,
be a man who'd never do anything to hurt you.
I've been up and I've been down,
done good and I've done bad
I've taken what I got, and given what I had and
I've had dirt on my hands and dirt on my knees.
I never shied away from dirty things,
'till you came along so clean.
maybe I could be clean too.
Oh I could clean up for you.

I Got the Girl

You don't believe I have the spine to leave
but this is that last song and I know it took me too long,
but now I'm gone.
You believe that we get what we deserve,
then I must fucking suck cause I got the girl.
I was cool and kind when we met the first time,
I played the gentleman and you were so impressed,
oh, the bitter taste of success.
you believe that we get what we deserve
then I must fucking suck cause I got the girl.
This is the last time and these are the last lines
and your's is the last face that I'd hoped to see here tonight
so go on and be as cold as you like
you say, "say what you mean and mean the things that you do",
so believe me when I'm leaving, and singing fuck you.

Don't Owe You Nuthin'

We always got down like nobody else,
and I didn't come here for my health,
because it's hot out in the street and I got better places to be,
then haulin' my hide over here to catch all this heat.
I know you got another man, I'm just hear for what I can get,
I don't owe you nothin'.
Don't treat me like I'm your man,
I couldn't stand such cruel lovin',
and I don't owe you nothin'
Baby don't you see the grey in the night,
baby don't you see the yellow in your eyes,
I never meant, never meant to hurt you,
but don't be a fool.
Baby don't you know that this world ain't got no pity,
live aint like the movies no it only leave you filthy,
and theres two kinds of souls lost in this city,
I'm not the one to pity.
I know you've got a much better man,
I'm just here for what I can get,
I don't owe you nothin'.
