Another fucking day,
it's still a nine to five, I swear.
I don't want to reach the top.
I don't want to be a millionare.
I know that it may sound crazy,
but it's driving me insane.
Staring out the window of another fucking train.
[CHORUS]
We're walking arm to arm.
I won't follow. Arm to arm.
I won't lead. Arm to arm.
Beside me until tomorrow. Arm to arm.
You're walking arm to arm with me.
I'm feeling kind of homesick when I smell the old pine tree.
I felt you in the breeze, I close my eyes, it's not so easy for me.
Once or twice, three times a charm.
We were walking arm to arm.
I wanted that for so damn long, but now it's gone.
I've never been so wrong. Drop me a line.
Tell me everything that I've been missing.
Won't you drop me a line.
Tell me where you're gonna be when I get home.
2000 years more won't end this war, my brother.
Half empty, half full.
You're pushing, I'm pulling.
Back in '96, sometimes I sit and reminisce.
Took the train to Hoboken,
I didn't know it then,
but that is when I found my place outisde this so-called structured life.
Married to my only love and music is my wife.

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time , it never made much sense
Adolesencet resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge
One in ten
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemis are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end
ONE IN TEN
Onelastthingbeforeiquitineverwantedanymore

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)...

A right turn gone wrong
Nothing but the dust left to fill your lungs up
Have to choke and choke and choke
Reprecussion, what got us this form?
Facilitation for feeling listless
Reprecussion, what got us this form?
Facilitation for feeling listless
The son sits out in the sun
And that's when he calls 'father'
He realized a long time ago
He's never coming home, no
Reprecussion, what got us this form?
Facilitation for feeling listless

Up around 95, sailing down Storrow Drive
Left exit into Kenmore Square
Slowed down when I got there
And that's when it was crystal clear
It wasn't there, it wasn't where
I left it, when I left it
I want my city back
Back the way it used to be
I want it back the way it was
I looked around and found
This doesn't feel like my hometown
And I don't like the way it does
Stepped out to take a closer look
Held in with every step I took
The sadness I felt just to look around
I looked up to the Citgo Sign
You used to be a friend of mine
Do you agree with me at one time
This was once such sacred ground
I want my city back
Back the way it used to be
I want it back the way it was
I looked around and found
This doesn't feel like my hometown
And I don't like the way it does feel, feel
How should I feel when the place
Where I first learned I could feel
Is no longer where I left it
When I left it not so long ago
How should I feel? [x3]
Well I don't know
( I want my city back
Back the way it used to be
I want it back the way it was
I looked around and found
This doesn't feel like my hometown
And I don't like the way it does feel [x2] )

It's a perfect beginning
But it happens that way
Who's the one that you're killing
I want his name

I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all
I never knew that much to be with your name
Must be a fortunate demon

Embrace me
Don't break me
Embrace me
Don't break me
'Cause this is all I wanted

It's like a dream to be happy
I never thought this far
And all the sweet desperation
I want it all

I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all
I never knew that much to be with your name
Must be a fortunate demon

Embrace me
Don't break me
Embrace me
Don't break me
Embrace me ('Cause this is all I wanted)
Don't break me ('Cause this is all I wanted)
Embrace me... ('Cause this is all I wanted)

I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all
I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all

'Cause this is all I wanted

I think about what's going on, then I stop thinking about it
I had a reason to believe that something's wrong...
It was only you for so long
The people ask but i don't hear
what's the question anyway?
I collect a fuzzy cloud of memories to sell to people who care

Not worth the time or energy
Take us for granted, you'll get what you ask for

Go! And don't look back at what you know
Now it's over and this chapter has been closed

The slate is blank, the day is new
The past is over, future's in view
I take my strength and apply it here
Obsolescence: that was what you feared
Don't look back at what you know
It's over and this chapter has been closed
When I open my eyes, you'll be gone
For you it's over, for me it's just begun

Let's not dwell on the past
My memory is fading now
I don't know you

I can be whatever you want me to be
Just ask me nice and I'll be nice
We kiss and say we will but we don't mean it
And all the girls like you they tell me their secrets
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm nothing girl and nothing hurts
when you're with me
And you're broken boy
and all your dreams are broken toys
And I'll take your love
and turn it into nothingness like me
What have you done that you should feel so guilty?
If you're not happy here
darkness will follow you anywhere
They might have the money and the fame
But they can't hold a candle to my flame



REPEAT CHORUS
I can be whatever you want me to be
Just ask me nice and I'll be nice
CHORUS (2X)
I can be whatever you want me to be

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

I've got big dreams but no self-esteem, you know?
I'd reach for the stars but I can't find my arms
All this time we've accomplished so much
Why can't I believe why can't I just feel love?

Goin' away leavin’ today you've gotta find a brand new hero
I let you down when you're not around you know I can't be trusted with anything
All this time we've wanted so much to just belong why can't we just feel love?
Goin’ away leavin today you've gotta find a brand new hero
What will they say when I've gone away? Gotta find a brand new hero
