And after
All that’s said and done
We really had some fun
I don’t think I’d change it even if I could
This feeling that belongs to us
Sure took a lot of work
Now everything sounds just like we knew it should
Yeah, everything sounds just like we knew it should
So let the doubt you had turn to dust
All we needed was that final push
And here we are safely on the other side
Yeah, everything sounds just like we knew it should
Everything sounds just like we knew it should
We knew it should
We knew it should
We knew it should

It’s not as much fun as fun used to be, in fact it’s really starting to get to me
I might be wrong but you don’t think I am
It’s harder to care about the things that I lack
You used to be cool but that’s was all in the past
We used to have fun but now I’ve got the rash
Maybe I’m old before my time
Maybe my time is less than I’d like
Where is my mind?
I used to worry about it all of the time
And I’m walking at dawn in the fields I thought I’d left all behind
Left it all behind
Left it all behind
I used to think about what it means
To have all you want and never get what you need
Maybe it was me but I still think it’s you
It’s used to be funny but now it’s the truth
You’re never around when I want to be alone
Drunk dialing gets you back the phone
The worst in us is the best I had
I’m so happy being sad
Left it all behind
Left it all behind
So follow the path to see where it goes
Recall all the memories to find out if it shows
Just what did I win when I lost it all?
Just when I thought I was walking tall
I know we’re never going back
I know we’re never going back
Where is my mind?
I used to worry about it all of the time
And I’m walking at dawn in the fields I thought I’d left all behind

I wrote this song for you.
This melancholy song is just for you.
Even though the words don’t always seem to do the things I need them to.
I played around with the melody to try and find the perfect key to show you exactly how I feel.
I’m sure I would wait for as long as it takes and I hope you would wait for me too.
‘Cos life can be strange and a heart rearranged but still the goodness come through
Yeah life can be strange and a heart rearranged but I still the goodness come on through
Just as long as you keep doing what you always do

Oh yeah, we know
There’s been something kinda weird going on ‘round here
Sometimes
It sure feels like we’d better
Just let it go
Why do you want to do it like that?
Did you really think it could be different this time?
You’ll drive yourself crazy again
Hoping for something
Brand new
But still doing it the way you always do
Sure, we’ve grown
Gave up half the mistakes we made along the road
And now we’ve come to simply enjoy
What we can
But why does it feel
Like maybe somethings missing
I don’t know what it is
Is the key to happiness to just let it all go?
Why did you want to do it like that?
Dig deep on all the answers you got
I’m driving myself crazy again
Trying to figure out
what she meant
when she said, ‘this is the best I could have had’?
And if you can’t see the wood for the trees
All I can say is you’ll never be free
To appreciate what’s been staring at you right in front of your face
When you feel like it’s all too much
That’s when she’ll give you that extra push
So, stand up and see what’s waiting on the other side.
How long’s it gonna take to get to the other side?
Oh yeah, we know
There’s been something kinda weird going on ‘round here
Maybe now
It’s the time we’ll figure out
Why we had to do like that

And when it comes around, there’s no denying
All of those feelings, without really trying
Memories fade but right now will always be new.
Yeah it’s a slow day that sun is tryin’
The sounds that surround us, makes it feel like we’re flying
Where ever we are is right where we’re supposed to be.
So come on now, don’t keep it waiting.
Happiness is yours for the taking.
If you are my mirror, reflect what I need to see
And it gets harder, day after day
You can to fight for it, or watch it slip away
If time won’t wait then you know what you’ll need to do
And here it comes around (again)

(8) Triangle
03:01

I sit indoors almost every day
Looking at the people in their lives
So far away
Going back and forth
Streets moving
Makes my head spin
Never looking up
Looking up
Please keep me in
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
I
Am the triangle
I am the triangle
Ask how I’ve been but can’t you tell me what to say?
Feeling numb: the only thing that doesn’t go away?
Speaking words maybe I remember from some other time
You can look into my eyes but I know you won’t feel the same
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
I am the triangle
I am the triangle
Steel and glass
Look around image fading day by day
Disappear, disappearing what ought to stay
Mirror, mirror memory
Am I still me?
Back and forth in the maze
Fiction functionality
I am the triangle
I am the triangle
