rom My Screwed-Up Mind: Lyrics

34 Seconds
English Garden
For You
Hold Back
This Time


34 Seconds

You in the front row
So easy dressed
Yeah - you
What are you trying?
What for?

You're twinkling and smiling
And in a way you're shining
Do you think this will make me...
Well
I'm not sure
Cause 34 seconds
Are way too short

Up


English Garden

Silence now
Know a place to go
You shut your eyes
When I tell you so
You feel the breeze
Do you hear me sigh
So I feel
Good night

I've been here somewhen
I know this place
I've walked these pathes
I left no trace
There's something to this
I can't define
So I feel
Good night

I feel I'm sinking
In waters deep
In an english garden
I finally sleep
For I am calm now
I'm home I'm fine
So I feel
Good night
I am calm now
I'm home I'm fine
So I feel
Good night

Up


For You

He told me they're out there
Having parties playing games
And won't you come and join us it's not far
I said I'd really like to stay inside
And I don't really bother
I just don't care where they're from or who they are

He asked me: is there anything you wish for that you hope for
Or any dream you wish that would come true
I said: I wanna be your lover and I wanna be a saint
And I long to be a singer
And I hope it's not in vain

He said: I'll always be there for you, you know

And if I came to tell you I'm so happy that I met you
Always searching for a place to come and stay
And then it struck me suddenly
That everything's been light to me
Since the day you finally crossed my way

And if you'd ask me: is there anything you wish for that you hope for
Or any dream you wish that would come true
I'd say: I wanna be your lover and I wanna be a saint
And I long to be a singer
And I hope it's not in vain

I'd say: I'll always be there for you, you know

He told me they're out there
Having parties singing songs
And won't you like to come and join us, too
And then he asked me: is there anything you wish for that you hope for
Or any dream you wish that would come true

I said: I wanna be your lover and I wanna be a saint
And I long to be a singer
And then i said it all again
I said: I wanna be your lover and I wanna be a saint
And I long to be a singer
And I hope it's not in vain

He said: I'll always be there for you, you know

Up


Hold Back

Somebody might say that everything's alright
But you won't listen
Somebody might say that I shouldn't cry
But I won't listen
(You say) this is not what you did pay for
You've never been this much awake
Well, this is not the thing I came for
But you don't understand
You say ain't it okay, well it ain't okay

Everything's alright
It's not the time for a fight
But baby now, can't you see I'm crying
I'm not trying to hold back

I do recall a day last fall
Cause then you listened
And I do recall it didn't seem to help at all
Although I listened
(They tell me) everybody would do better
I didn't now who to believe
So I'd decide to choose the latter
I'd turn around and leave
So don't tell me what I've been told

Everything's alright
It's not the time for a fight
But baby now, can't you see I'm crying
I'm not trying to hold back

Where am I gonna go
Who will I be
Who will I trust
Well, we'll see
There ain't no reason
And you can't show me no way
Who will I cling to
Where will I
Stay

Everything's alright
It's not the time for a fight
But baby now, can't you see I'm crying
I'm not trying to hold back

Up


This Time

Give me time
I take it back
I thought it'd be fine
I thought it'd be fine
This time
This time

What'd you choose instead of me
Everything apparently
If I slipped inside of you
Ain't a lot of things to do

I thought it'd be fine (it'd be fine)
I thought it'd be fine
This time

Give me time
I take it back
I thought it'd be fine
I thought it'd be fine
This time
This time

Was it something that I said
Give me time I take it back
Was it something I did wrong
Making choices don't take long

I thought it'd be fine (it'd be fine)
I thought it'd be fine
This time
This time
