Sun's going down, I'm sticking around
'Cause I find it easier in the dark
Lately I've found the sights and the sounds
Are getting too much for my feeble heart
I'm going nowhere
Breathing the sea air
Singing the blues
Maybe change my hair
The clothes that I wear
Be totally new
My windows are closed; my eyes are so slow
You won't get near my soul
This place is too cold, but it never snows
Can't keep my cards in my hand so I fold
I'm going nowhere
Breathing the sea air
Singing the blues
Maybe change my hair
The clothes that I wear
Be totally new
Where did my home go?
I'm feeling so low
Oh, what's the use
Now I'm an unknown
I'll go it alone
I won't bother you
Maybe one day I'll come back
With my legs broke and my skin cracked
Maybe one day I'll come back
I've not got much to lose
So I'll find somewhere new
I'll try my best not to think of you
I'm going nowhere
Breathing the sea air
Singing the blues
Maybe change my hair
The clothes that I wear
Be totally new
Where did my home go?
I'm feeling so low
Oh, what's the use
Now I'm an unknown
I'll go it alone
I won't bother you
Now I'm an unknown
I'll go it alone
I won't bother you

Runaway

Jenny's been working in a dive bar
Never thought she'd get very far
She's waiting on a train to take her away
She's been counting up her tips
And sinking down into the quicksand
She's gonna make her great escape
She knows she won't stick around
I'm leaving here
This place is killing me
I need to breathe some fresh air
I will run away
To someplace nobody knows my name
I'm headed for the middle of nowhere
Jenny's been working on a plan
Hitting the freeway, cash in hand
She's gonna find somebody who feels the same
She knows she won't stick around
She knows she's outgrown this town
I'm leaving here
This place is killing me
I need to breathe some fresh air
I will run away
To someplace nobody knows my name
I'm headed for the middle of nowhere
Let's just run away
Let's just run away!
I'm leaving here
This place is killing me
I need to breathe some fresh air
I will run away
To someplace nobody knows my name
I'm headed for the middle of nowhere
Let's just run away
Let's just run away!
I'm headed for the middle of nowhere

The Fall

Let's begin at the beginning
I find it hard to grasp the end
I don't know what you were thinking to do this at all
Let alone do it again
They say trust is like a mirror
It can always be repaired
So tell me, when you look at yourself
Do you see the same old cracks as me?
Just remember
I will cry with my mother
And I'll lie to my sister
'Cause I know that she'd miss you if you were gone
But for me, we were done when I wrote this song
So tell me what went through your head
When she took your hand and led you to her bed
Did you think of the house that you built?
Did you think of the vows that you said?
Just remember
I will cry with my mother
And I'll lie to my sister
'Cause I know that she'd miss you if you were gone
But for me, we were done when I wrote this song
I don't think it would be so hard
If you would just come out with it all
But you had to go and break our hearts
You used to stand so tall, now here's the fall
Just remember
I will cry with my mother
And I'll lie to my sister
'Cause I know that she'd miss you if you were gone
But for me, we were done when I wrote this song

Don't Know You

How do you do?
You look familiar
Have we met before?
I seem to remember
Who got inside your head?
I can't forget the things you said
I don't see the girl I knew
I guess we're stuck here with you
Where did you go?
You're leaving me behind
I just want to know
What or who is on your mind
Should I quit it?
You're not the same as back before
Did you take a hit?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I recognise before my eyes that you're the same shape and size
But I don't think you realise
That you're the same only in name because your brain won't play the game
I tried to fight for you
I'm feeling so confused
I guess I lost you in every sense
Where did you go?
You're leaving me behind
I just want to know
What or who is on your mind
Should I quit it?
You're not the same as back before
Did you take a hit?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
Please explain to me 'cause you don't seem the same really
Beyond the frame I see are you still who you claim to be?
I asked you to stay, somebody stole you away
I can't even bear to look your way these days
I reached for you, you disappeared inside your head
After everything I ever said, you still left me for dead
Where did you go?
You're leaving me behind
I just want to know
What or who is on your mind
Should I quit it?
You're not the same as back before
Did you take a hit?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
