I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore, Before you take a swing, I wonder What are we fighting for, When I say out loud, I want to get out of this, I wonder, Is there anything I'm going to miss,
How's it going to be, When you don't know me, How's it going to be, When you're sure I'm not there, How's it going to be, When there is no one there to talk to about, How it's going to be, 'Cause I don't care, How's it going to be,
Where we used to laugh, There's a shouting match, Sharp as a thumbnail scratch, A silence I can't ignore, Like . . The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in, Swing empty, don't see lightning like last fall when it was always about to hit me, I guess that is how it's going to be. Want to get back in again, The soft dive of oblivion.
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand. I would understand,
The angry boy, a bit too insane, Icing over a secret pain, You know you don't belong, You're the first to fight, You're way too loud, You're The flash of light, On a burial shroud, I know something's wrong, Well everyone I know has got a reason, To say, put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, That you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand, I would understand.
Well he's on the table, And he's gone to code, And I do not think anyone knows, What they are doing here, And your friends have left, You've been dismissed, I never thought it would come to this, And I, I want you to know, Everyone's got to face down the demons, Maybe today, We can put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand, I would understand, I would understand...
Can you put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, I would understand...
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and she lives for me, She says she lives for me, Ovation, She's got her own motivation, she comes round and she goes down on me, And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you, Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you, Keep on smiling, what we go through. One stop to the rhythm that divides you, And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse, Chop another line like a coda with a curse, And I come on like a freak show takes the stage. We give them the games we play, she said,
I want something else, to get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.
The sky it was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose, And I wish I could get back there, Some place back there, Smiling in the pictures you would take, Doing crystal myth, Will lift you up until you break, It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock, With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop, And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given, Then I bumped again, And then I bumped again. How do I get back there to, The place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to, The place where you said,
I want something else to get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, good-bye,
I believe in the sand beneath my toes, The beach gives a feeling, An earthy feeling, I believe in the faith that grows, And the four right chords can make me cry, When I'm with you I feel like I could die. And that would be all right, All right,
When the plane came in, She said she was crashing, The velvet it rips, In the city we tripped,
On the urge to feel alive, But now I'm struggling to survive, The days you were wearing, That velvet dress, You're the priestess, I must confess, Those little red panties, They pass the test, Slide up around the belly, Face down on the mattress, One,
Now you hold me, And we're broken. Still it's all that I want to do. Feel myself with a head made of the ground, I'm scared but I'm not coming down. And I won't run for my life, She's got her jaws just locked now in smile but nothing is all right, All right,
I want something else, To get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, good-bye.
Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I get my punk ass off the street
I've been living on for so long
Can I graduate
To the bastard talking down to me
Your whipping boy calamity
Cross your fingers, I'm going to knock it all down
Can I graduate
Echo fading we can't let go
She goes walking by in slow mo'
Sell your heart out for a buck
Go on fade out before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
Do you live the days you go through
Will this song live on long after we do
Can I graduate
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I get my punk ass off the street
Won't die on the vine I want to knock it all down
Can I graduate
Echo fading, candle blow
Did you flash out long ago
Cross my fingers, I don't know
Someone poked you down below
Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I get my punk ass off the street
Can I look in faces that I meet
I'm not waiting here for you to die
Will this song live on long after we do
