You say stop and I say go
It's the little voices that tell me so
You say yes and I say no
But I hate it when you have to go
I can't think straight but that's okay
I don't have much to say anyway

I'm important and you are too
There's got to be something we can do
Do you like to drive around?
We can listen to what you want to
I'm bored and I don't care
Responsibilities give me nightmares

I say love and you say hate
Hate is easy but love is fate
We talk philosophy and time and space
When passion's real it shows in your face
I'm too tired to even try
The rain is nice but my bed is dry

I've had enough to drink, I guess
But I might as well finish the rest
Will you follow me here?
It may be dark but it's oh so clear

It's a mighty fine day outside
So I should stay inside
Watch the lights beat on my window
And imagine how the wind blows

Come one, come all, come dancing
Someone out there is laughing
Is it at me? I can't see
I shouldn't have left my seat

Must everything be so perfect?
If so, then nothing is worth it
I like imperfections, expands my selection
There's no flawless affection

I don't have anywhere to be
I don't have anyone to see
Maybe if I walked into the street
Somebody would silence me
Just hold the violence, please
I've already killed the leaves
Watched them crash into my knees
Since I can't drown in the sea
I'll die in the street

Sometimes as days go by so fast
We take time to dwell on the past
Hazy pictures and memories of laughs
Moments in time we'll never get back

Tell me your stories like we first met
Tell me again so I won't forget
Soon I will but not just yet
Soon, I can use them when you're upset

We fight for the times we think were best
When we were younger and needed no rest
When all was ahead, no sins to confess
Heads full of dreams and love in our chest

Somewhere along these perpetual years
We learn to accept that time disappears
Pictures are best kept stained with our tears
What lies ahead will be better than here

When the morning doesn't breathe
In the cold winter air
How does it feel to need somebody there?
You could probably hear them if it wasn't for the frost
But their words are frozen, desperately lost

How does it feel right now
To be awake in the dark?
How does it feel to be lost in your heart?
Take a look inside, I hope you find what really burns
Like the sound of a name, more than just a word

How do those dreams feel
When the wake you up?
They're like a movie reel that shakes you up
If everything at once starts to swirl and collide
Then what's important will live when what's pointless has died

If there's god's will then will you take it away?
I hear my name coming from the edge of town
I need to go find my place in these worst of days
I may be different when I come back around

Don't let me die
In your sweet, sweet mind
Remember the times when I cared for you
And when I go
When my footprints are gone
Find someone new who will see you through

If all is well and you can sleep in peace
Don't think twice about where I am
It doesn't matter if I'm alive or deceased
Just as long as you can smile again

But don't let me die
In your sweet, sweet mind
I know your heart has always been good
Unlike mine
But I can't control it no more
No more, but know I would if I could

When you wake up and your mind is released
From any thoughts about me
Now you can live and you can flourish in peace
You'll be happy, alive without me

Oh, Anna
Don't let him steal your heart away
You've been doing fine celebrating Independence Day
Oh, Anna
You've got a lot of growing to do
Don't fall for someone who needs to do some growing too

Oh, Anna
If he ever gives your heart a shove
Come crying to me because friendship is just like love
Oh, Anna
Do you believe him when he talks to you?
When he says he loves you do you believe that it's true?

You'll never be the same when you give him everything
If he hesitates to answer don't wait forever after
Love should be an instinct, not a laughing matter

Oh, Anna
I know it isn't easy at all
But when the going gets rough, you know who to call
Oh, Anna
I know you're hurting so
But when the right man comes believe me, you will know
