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 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

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

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
