Hold Me Down
here we are now
back again for more
i bet you thought you saw the last of me
all is gone now
all forgot now
but i won’t let you forget about me
let me go
far away from my little home
let me go
‘cause i don’t need you anyway
when you see my eyes tonight
you’ll know there ain’t no stoppin’ now
when you feel the need to fight
i will rip right through you now
i ain’t changin’ for nobody
i’m rolling on somehow
but you know it isn’t right
the way you tried to hold me down
there you are now
in the crowd now
bet you wish that you were up here with me
all is gone now
all for naught now
don’t you know you can’t place the blame on me?
let me go
far away from my little home
let me go
‘cause i don’t need you anyway
when you see my eyes tonight
you’ll know there ain’t no stoppin’ now
when you feel the need to fight
i will rip right through you now
i ain’t changin’ for nobody
i’m rolling on somehow
but you know it isn’t right
the way you tried to hold me down
i tried to be song
and i tried to hold on
but you know it won’t be long
before you wake up and well
you’re gone
when you see my eyes tonight
you’ll know there ain’t no stoppin’ now
when you feel the need to fight
i will rip right through you now
i ain’t changin’ for nobody
i’m rolling on somehow
but you know it isn’t right
the way you tried to hold me down
(when you see my eyes tonight)
there won’t be any stoppin’ now
(when you feel the need to fight)
i will break you down
(when you see my eyes tonight)
you know there ain’t no stoppin’ now
(but you know it isn’t right)
you know
Bleed
twenty-three
what have i become?
i am nothing like i ever dreamed of
you and me
i’ll take the road that’s high
you and me
we’re chasing life (chasing life)
say what’s right
and they’ll tell you that you’re wrong
even though you’re the one who wrote the song
imitate what they have inside
imitate ‘cause you know that you can’t hide
we all bleed
we all burn
don’t you know the world is coming down on me?
we all bleed
we all burn
but you know the world today has got a disease
open up
and maybe you might live
you know i tried
i’d love to give you more than this
low-down, dead-beat, no-good life
you’re used to living in
what do i know? what do i know?
i don’t know where to begin.
we all bleed
we all burn
don’t you know the world is coming down on me?
we all bleed
we all burn
but you know the world today has got a disease
you said you’re tryin’ something new
i couldn’t count the times i’ve felt the same way too
you’re losing faith in who you are (who you are)
you know you know you are what you are
a superstar
(time to repent son, for the end is near.)
we all bleed
we all burn
don’t you know the world is coming down on me?
we all bleed
we all burn
but you know the world today has got a disease
we all bleed
we all burn
don’t you know the world is coming down on me?
we all bleed
we all burn
the world today has got a disease
Last June
8 a.m. don't want to wake up
i just have so much to do
another storybook to make up
i’ll flip the switch and leave the room
stretched it further than she wanted
a rubber soul forever blue
redefined her aspirations
it bled to red she said "we're through"
why are we still waiting?
why are we still praying?
why do we keep playing out of tune?
finally got to read your letter
the one you sent to me last june
i'm just trying to be honest
i never meant to come unglued
why are we still waiting?
why are we still praying?
why do we keep playing out of tune?
looking for an answer that's never gonna come my way
never gonna fly me back to you
what's a boy to do?
should i be true for you?
why are we still waiting?
why are we still praying?
why do we keep playing out of tune?
why are we still faking?
why are we still taking?
why do we keep playing out of tune?
Over Me
layin' low sunday afternoon
another re-run on the tv
i'm feelin' cold so i'll stay in my room
i don't want no one to see me
i'm just tryin' hard to be myself
please forgive me, please forgive me now
'cause i don't wanna be with someone else no more
over me
well your head is spinning round and round
over me
all your dreams are falling down and down
layin' low underneath the moon
could you take another free ride
i'm feelin' slow i can't carry a tune
when you're not here by my side
i'm just tryin' hard to be myself
please forgive me, please forgive me now
'cause i don't wanna be with someone else no more
over me
well your head is spinning round and round
over me
all your dreams are falling down and down
over me
well your head is up there in the clouds
over me
all your dreams are falling
yeah they're falling down
where will you go when you're alone?
you've gotta find your own
your own little way back home
i hope that you know you should've said no
how could you turn and walk
turn and walk away?
over me
well your head is spinning round and round
over me
all your dreams are falling down and down
over me
well your head is up there in the clouds
over me
all your dreams are falling
yeah they're falling down
Time
here today
sailing far away
bound for italy
bound for italy
i have lost my way
forgot to stop and say “hey”
always knew someday
i always knew someday
could i be the one you know who’s always on the go?
i need to climb inside and open up my mind
i know i have too few days to be with you
i’ll take the time to spend some time
nature holds the key
won’t you stay with me?
my porch is so lonely
my porch holds you and me
now just me
could i be the one you know who’s always on the go?
i need to climb inside and open up my mind
i know i have too few days to be with you
i’ll take the time to spend some time
could i be the one you know who’s always on the go?
i need to climb inside and open up my mind
i know i have too few days to be with you
i’ll take the time to spend some time
i swore i’d take some time to spend some time
too late to take the time to spend some time
Run
thinkin’ about all the times I had lied
I played the fool when I pushed you aside
I guess it was wrong not to bring you along
with me
we both used to say that we lived in this place
and now i’m just left with the lines on my face
it’s hard to believe that you’re still in my dreams
every night
so let’s run away
let’s run away
let’s run away
we don’t have to stay
so let’s run away
been hangin’ around here just wasting my time
wish that I could figure out the next line
come back to me ‘cause I finally see
you were right
so let’s run away
let’s run away
let’s run away
we don’t have to stay
so let’s run away
you left me here
bleeding within
can you forgive me for one little sin?
don’t stand me up
I need to know
I think it’s time we go
run away
let’s run away
let’s run away
we don’t have to stay
so let’s run away
no you don’t have to stay
so let’s run away
Radio Song
I’ll think of you when lennon’s on my radio
all of your long dark hair
dancin’ without a care
to a different drum
I’ll think of you when neil is on my radio
playin’ a soulful tune
under the harvest moon
I wasn’t 21
I’ll think of you
whenever I hear that song
maybe I’ll hum along
or maybe shed a tear or two
over you
I’ll think of you when stevie’s on my radio
laughing ‘bout everything
teaching me songs to sing
we both already know.
I’ll think of you
whenever I hear that song
maybe I’ll hum along
or maybe shed a tear or two
over you
think of me
I’ll think of you
think of me
and I swear to god I’ll think of you
will you think of me when vedder’s on your radio?
will you remember me
for all of eternity
after i’m long gone?
I’ll think of you
whenever I hear that song
maybe I’ll hum along
or maybe shed a tear or two
I’ll think of you
whenever I hear that song
well hell maybe I’ll sing along
or maybe shed a tear or two
‘cause i’m without you
Tradeback
well you were down there
in the basement
had that needle by your side
always running from the devil
but there was no place left for you to hide
yeah you were lying to your family
and the one who even loved you so
it’s over ten years since you left me
why did you have to go
no taking back
well the pain it left me blue and black
no trading back
come and clean me out now save me
disinfect my soul
you were pining for salvation
you couldn’t count the times that you had cried
you tried to tell them you wanted out now
but you had way, way too much pride
so you were pulling on the trigger
now the music’s about to explode
but i’m still here
alone and drowning
guess I’ll face this all on my own
no taking back
well the pain it left me blue and black
no trading back
come and clean me out now save me
disinfect my soul
yeah, yeah one time you’re never coming back again
no taking back
well the pain it left me blue and black
no trading back
come and clean me out now save my soul
no taking back
well the pain it left me blue and black
no trading back
come and clean me out now save me
disinfect my soul
Wake Up
hey did you hear that loud and clear wake up call?
lie awake at night

wake up? (yeah)

wake up? (yeah)
