You're So Real
The Difference

Feel

What you want?�
What you got?��
Livin' life in a crawl space
I'd help you out but you don't want a chance at a better life
You said you never took a ride
And now you want to play
Well it's a big, big city
Let me show you around sometime
Oh sometime

And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now?�
It's too late
Too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now?
I'm only askin' because I want to know
How you want to feel

Well I'm a wreck
I'm a mess
I'm a spot on the pavement
I'm a number on your wall
I make your soul tired
Well I don't think I like this game no more
It goes around, and 'round, and 'round
I'll take it one more time, yeah one more time

And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now?
It's too late
Too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now?
I'm only askin' because I want to know
How you want to feel
How you wanna feel

And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now?
It's too late
Too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now?
Well I'm only askin' because I want to know
How you want to feel
How you wanna feel
How you wanna feel

Disease

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
But now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one's ever turned you over
No one's tried
To ever let you down
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

[CHORUS:]
I got a disease
Deep inside me
That makes me feel uneasy, Baby
I can't live without you
Tell me
What am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you're making a mess
You're hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life before was magic
Beautiful girl
I can't breathe

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
I think that I'm sick
Better leave me be
While my world is coming down on me
You taste like Honey, Honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, Be strong
Keep telling myself
That it won't take long til
I'm free of my disease

[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]

Bright Lights

She got out of town
On a railway, New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien out on Broadway

Some things in this world you just can't change
Some things you can't see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone,
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world?
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you,
But if the bright lights don't receive you,
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city

Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need until they leave you...
They're the things that you miss

Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down...
For God's sake, turn around

Unwell

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Makin' friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
that I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
and I don't know why

Me,
talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talkin' bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin
Somehow I've lost my mind

I've been talkin in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, How I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
(A little unwell)
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

Cold

I will do without
The spaces in between
If you can tell me now
What it means to be

You have been found out
I have been deceived
By the one that I need

[Chorus]

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You dont know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go, don't go, no

You will go without
A better part of me
There will be no doubt
What this all could mean
You will be found out
I can not believe
In the one that I need

[Chorus]

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You don't know, you don't know, don't know
And tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go, don't go away

[Chorus]

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
And tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
Tell me anything about you I don't know
I don't know by now
Know by now
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go

All I Need

Everywhere someone's getting over
Everybody cries, and sometimes
You can still lose even if you really try
Talking 'bout the dream like the dream is over
Talk like that won't get you nowhere
Everybody's trusting in the heart
Like the heart don't lie

But that's all that I need, yeah
Someone else to cling to, well
Someone I can lean on until
I don't need to
Just stay all through the night
And in the morning let me down
'Cause that's all that I need right now

Everywhere someone's getting over
Everybody's lied to someone
People still use other people
With a crooked smile
All around the world
There's a sinking feeling
Out there right now someone's really
Down on themselves
And don't know why
Every night

And that's all that I need, yeah
Someone else to cling to, well
Someone I can lean on until
I don't need to
Just stay all through the night
And in the morning let me down
'Cause that's all that I need right now

Life ain't no
Beauty show
We don't know where tomorrow ends
And when we're sad
It's kind of a drag

Just stay all through the night
And in the morning let me down
Yeah, 'cause that's all that I need
That's all that I need, yeah
That's all that I need
Right now
Right now

(It's by matchbox twenty, not Diego Torres)

Hand Me Down

Someday they'll find your small town world
On a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of your shell
'Cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth
They'll tell you everything
You wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart, yeah

(Chorus)
From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
'Cause no one's tried to give you
What you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody oughta take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When they're under your skin
Never once do you think that they would lie
When they're holding you
Then you wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you
You'll start to wonder
If you're ever gonna make it by
You'll start to think
You were born blind

Chorus

I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
When living ain't easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah

Oh no, no, no

Someday they'll open up your world
Shake you down to the drawing board
They'll do their best to change you
They still can't erase you

(Chorus)
Lay them down on me
Oh yeah
You're just one more hand me down
And all those nights
Don't give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
On me

Could I Be You

Something is wrong
With the sum of us
That I can't seem to erase
How can I be
The only one
Without a smile on my face

Well now, you're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

You show your pain
Like it really hurts
And I can't even
Start to feel mine

I'm standing in place
With my head first
And I shake, I shake
And I see your progress stretched out for miles
And miles

You're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just won't come out
Just won't come out

And you're laughing out loud
at the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

Yeah I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

Na na na na...

I was wondering
And I was wondering...
Baby I ...I was wondering...I was wondering
Yeah

Downfall

I wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back,
Would you have ever been with me?
I want you to be unleashed
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

Here we go again
Ashamed of bein' broken in
We're gettin' off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

Yeah, be my savior
(Only love can save us now
Come lay me down
Only love can save us now)
I'll be your downfall
(Our love can save us now
Love save me now)

Lay it down
I've always been with you
Hear me now
With all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

Now I'm back on my own
Hear my feet, they are made of stone
And I'll make you go where I go
Well, hell, you, can I take you home?
Now, I'm coming home, on my back
Kissin' me, your lips painted black
Saying, "Woah oh oh
Lemme be your downfall
Woah oh oh
Lemme be your downfall, baby."

Soul

Hang out my window and over your head
Stare at your feelings to see where they end
You're waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
You've been so composed

[Chorus]
We all know there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause you've got soul

You're so heavy, you're so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good
When I still could
Wait around here for someone else to take me past the good side
You've been here so longer

[Chorus]

We all know there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause darling, you've got so much soul
Darling, you've got so much soul

[Chorus]

Well, there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
Then you ever thought it would

But you don't worry, and you don't worry
Cause you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause you've got soul

You're So Real

Yes I am
I hope you think you read me
Hope I start talking crazy
Before you understand me
are we through
You think that i'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Well Wrap 'em up and take 'em with you

I'm alright
Hope I can sleep for one night
If not to cool my insides
Maybeto calm my backside
Rain on me
I got a weakness in me
I think that weakness feeds me
I don't think you, think you need me

Sunshine
You're the best time
I ever, ever had
But I think I made you feel bad
The black fly on your necktie
Time after time

::chorus::
But when the sun starts sinkin'
On your beautiful soul
Make you cry, cry baby
Make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright
Sometimes
You just got to show how you feel
Cause that's you baby
Yeah you're so real

Run this round in your head
Like you don't know what's on the inside
You don't know me too well
You ain't seen my bad side
Shame on me
Shame on the things that I'd be
If you could complicate me
If you could get inside me

Sunshine
You're the best time
I've ever, ever known
Pretty girl with a wicked smile on
But I've cried
For the last time
Something just don't feel right

::chorus::

You always know just who you are
You never needed someone else
To realize yourself

::chorus::

Yeah baby you're so real
Yeah baby you're so real
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh!

The Difference

Slow dancing on the boulevard in the quiet moments while the city's still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain, in the tired spaces you could hear her name
When she was warm and tender and you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection, she was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost

(chorus)
And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you wanna be
Yeah, what you wanna be

Night swimming in her diamond dress making small circles move across the surface
Stand watching from the steady shore, feeling wide open and waiting for
Something warm and tender, now she's moving further from you
There was nothing that could make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you that she's walking on

Yeah, for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want...

Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down

Day breaking on the boulevard, feel the sun warming up your second-hand heart
Light swimming right across your face and you think, maybe someday, yeah
Maybe someday

For all you know
Yeah, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want...

Yeah, for all you know
For all you know
Yeah, for all that you know
This is what you wanna be
Girl, what you wanna be
