"Too Little, Too Late"
You say, "Why does everything revolve around you?"
You say, "Why does everything I do confound you?"
You say, that I pull the world from under you
You can't go through it this time
And I can be good, and I would - if I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait - Or is it too little too late?
One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me
And that day, I could think of things that won't remind me
And these days it's unbearable for both of us,
We can't discuss it this way
I'm gaining strength, trying to learn to pull my own weight
I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of too late
Just wait
And I can be good, and I would - if I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait - Or is it too little too late?
Record and play, after years of endless rewind
Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time
This time isn't Hell
Last time, couldn't tell
This mind wasn't well
Next time, hope I'm...
Going to be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late?
"Pinch Me"
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
Change in to some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
And sleep away the afternoon
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still asleep
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep
On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave, but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for
"One Week"
Its been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said Im angry. Five days since you laughed at me, saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room, I realized its all my fault, but couldnt tell you. Yesterday youd forgiven me, but itll still be two days till I say Im sorry.
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink, as I make you stop, think. Youll think youre looking at Aquaman. I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss, I like the sushi Cause its never touched a frying pan.
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes, big like Leann Rimes. Because Im all about value. Bert Kaempferts got the mad hits, you try to match wits. You try to hold me but I bust through.
Gonna make a break and take a fake, Id like a stinkin, achin shake. I like vanilla, Its the finest of the flavors. Gotta see the show, 'Cause then youll know the vertigo is gonna grow. 'Cause its so dangerous, youll have to sign a waiver.
How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad, trying hard not to smile though I feel bad. Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. Cant understand what I mean? Well, you soon will. I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of taking off my shirt.
Its been one week since you looked at me, threw your arms in the air and said youre crazy. Five days since you tackled me, Ive still got the rug burns on both my knees. Its been three days since the afternoon, you realized its not my fault not a moment too soon. Yesterday youd forgiven me, and now I sit back and wait till you say youre sorry.
Chickity China the Chinese chicken, you have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin. Watchin X-Files with no lights on, were dans la maison. I hope the Smoking Mans in this one. Like Harrison Ford Im getting Frantic, like Sting Im Tantric. Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy. Like Kurosawa I make mad films, okay I dont make films.
But if I did theyd have a samurai. Gonna get a set of better clubs, gonna find the kind with tiny nubs. Just so my irons arent always flying off the backswing. Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon, 'cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing.
How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad? Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad. Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. Cant understand what I mean? You soon will. I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of losing my shirt.
Its been one week since you looked at me, dropped your arms to your sides and said Im sorry. Five days since I laughed at you and said, you just did just what I thought you were gonna do. Three days since the living room. We realized were both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday you just smiled at me, 'cause itll still be two days till we say were sorry. Itll still be two days till we say were sorry, itll still be two days till we say were sorry. Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie.
"It's All Been Done"
I met you, before the fall of Rome. And I begged you, to let me take you home. You were wrong, I was right. You said goodbye, I said goodnight.
CHORUS: Woo hoo hoo, It's all been done. Woo hoo hoo, It's all been done. Woo hoo hoo, It's all been done before.
I knew you, before the west was won. And I heard you say, the past was much more fun. You go your way, Ill go mine. But I'll see you next time.
CHORUS
If I put my fingers here, And if I say I love you, dear. And if I play the same three chords, will you just yawn and say.
CHORUS
Alone and bored, on a thirtieth-century night. Will I see you, on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run, down the aisle.
CHORUS
Woo hoo hoo, it's all been done. Woo hoo hoo, it's all been done. Woo hoo hoo, it's all been done.
CHORUS [2]
"Call and Answer"
I think it's getting to the point, where I can be myself again. I think it's getting to the point, where we have almost made amends. I think it's the getting to the point,
that is the hardest part.
CHORUS: And if you call, I will answer. And if you fall, I'll pick you up. And if you court, this disaster. I'll point you home.
You think I only think about you, when we're both in the same room. You think I'm only here to witness, the remains of love exhumed. You think we're here to play, a game of who loves more than whom.
CHORUS
You think it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone. You think it's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home. I think it's time to make this something that is more than only fair.
So if you call, I will answer. And if you fall, I'll pick you up. And if you court, this disaster. I'll point you home.
But I'm warning you, don't ever do those crazy, messed up things that you do. If you ever do, I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you. Now it's time to prove that you've come back here to rebuild. |
