The Unstable Lovers
03:25

When he saw the light
At the end of the tunnel
It was an approaching train
The glass was half full
The glass was half empty
And overflowing with pain
He held his head up high
He just didn't remember why
He met her in the remains of a bar
That they drank to forget that they knew
And when said "I'm going nowhere".
He said, "Can I please come with you?"
"You're just no good. I see.
But you might be good for me."
So here's to you - you
The unstable lovers
Catching each other's fall
Here's to you - you
The unstable lovers
I hope you never break up
I hope you never wake up at all
And since that day
They were a couple
Spreading that happy glow
Get him alone
Or invite only her
You know both of them will show
We could tell right from the start
Only life could tear them apart
So here's to you - you
The unstable lovers
Catching each other's fall
Here's to you - you
The unstable lovers
I hope you never break up
I hope you never wake up at all
So here's to you - you - you - you
The unstable lovers

I Want to Live Like That
03:20

I want to live in a part of town
Where no one wants to go
I want to live so quietly
That no one has to know
I want to live where the train goes by
All through the night
I want to live in the smallest room
And there I'll be alright
I want to live like that
I want to live
I want to live like that
I want to live
Like that
I want to live behind a door
That you still haven't found
I want to live all by myself
And you can't come around
My walls will be so thick
You can't hear me cry
I want to live there all my life
And this is where I'll die
I want to live like that
I want to live
I want to live like that
I want to live
Like that

Bet You Never Wanted to
01:33

Did you ever try to do the best you could do
And only found you couldn't do anymore?
Did you ever realize whatever you did
You didn't know what you were doing it for?
Did you ever hear that they were letting in
And only wished that they were letting you out?
Did you ever hear them ask about your career
And didn't know what they were talking about?
I bet you never did
And I bet you never wanted to
Did you ever stop to take a look at yourself a
And saw everything you hated the most?
Did you ever stop to take a look at yourself
And only saw an immaterial ghost
I bet you never did
And I bet you never wanted to
Did you ever try to do the best you could do
And only found you couldn't do anymore?
Did you ever realize whatever you did
You didn't know what you were doing it for?
I bet you never did
And I bet you never wanted to

Wouldn't Know a Metaphor
02:18

You wouldn't know a metaphor
If it kicked you in the face
You wouldn't know a metaphor
If it came and took your place
You wouldn't know
Wouldn't know a metaphor
You wouldn't know a metaphor
If it stabbed you in the back
You wouldn't know a metaphor
But you want to paint it black
You wouldn't know
Wouldn't know a metaphor
Anyway
It's all hot air in fancy bubbles
Let's just say
We take arms against a sea of troubles
You wouldn't know a metaphor
If it cut you with a knife
You wouldn't know a metaphor
If it came and fucked your wife
You wouldn't know
Wouldn't know a metaphor

Everything I know
and struggle hard to say
Was written long ago
In the most perfect way
Do we need a whole lot more
Of all that came before?
Everything comes back again
You don't know how
You don't know when
Everything comes back again
But you don't recognize it
You don't recognize it
I had this great Idea
To change the world and change my ways
But then I woke up here
Stuck once more in Groundhog Day
My triumphs and defeats
Forever on repeat
Everything comes back again
You don't know how
You don't know when
Everything comes back again
But you don't recognize it
You don't recognize it
