Open the door, honey, and I'll be right in Open the door, honey - and don't be hesitant You closed it upon my nose and I, I let it go Laughed it off, laughed it off, laughed it off but Next time I might get a little annoyed So ya better be careful with me And next time I might not give ya a choice     So ya better be sweet 'cause I'm about to lose it   Ya better bring candy                Life can be so funny, where should I begin?   Lovers are so funny, like a bullet thru your skin They'll bleed ya until you cry for more  then they're out the door with your bestest friend, the bestest friend - what else are friends for? Chorus My back's against a wall          You gotta gimme some of that sugar, baby  It's the only the way I'll ever get off   Ya better bring candy

Where do people like us go to find our way home? And where do people like us go to start again? I don't know               When there's too much truth you need imagination to pull you thru            Holding on to reality is not serving me anymore Between truth and lies i know what I need  I'll meet you in between the truth and lies you keep telling me: You won't forget this dream between truth and lies I know what I need i'll meet you in between the truth and lies   Where do people like them come from to dry our hearts out and Where do people like them come from to slow us down - I don't know When there's too much truth you need an explanation: "What did you do?"  Chorus I know the weight of my fiction It brings me down down down I'd tell you anything to keep you here You make me happier - so much happier - than I'm allowed to feel Chorus
3.
I'll chase you around the world  I'll go wherever you're going to And in between the clouds I'll watch and learn your every move You are the sunset I am the man who'd stop at nothin' to take you home    You are the sunset I am the man who knows his life is beautiful   So let's keep this fire burnin' up the moon Our hopes and desires burnin' up the moon         I'll be a shadow in the street until i hear your heart repeat Let's keep burnin' up the moon And when you have to go I promise not to go insane But the silence that you brought me Is something that can't be replaced   You are the sunset I am the man who's heart's been waiting just to cry some more You are the sunset I am the man who's got somethin' worth fighting for  Chorus
4.
It just might be the time to lose yourself 'Cause in my mind it's you and no one else I didn't want it to come to this, but every time you're on my lips You got me so helpless Mmm my heart It's been stomped out like a cigarette Don't you burn me again; don't you burn me 'Cause heaven couldn't treat me better than you Many other guys would want to be inside my shoes But if you have to say good-bye, won'tcha make up the sweetest lie And could you force a tear? Chorus When i'm at large and you're finished putting me thru the ground You'll open your eyes and see me rising up Chorus [skat] but she would not take my phone call [skat] Gotta boom-boom-boom on
5.
Well I wanted one more moment in your eyes So I put it in your hand But if you dare to walk away I might not be okay right now And maybe never but i won't know until it's later Come thru my door; I won't make one more mistake And, of course, that's a lie I just made Come thru my door - come thru my door I can hear a whisper missing from your voice And it just might be the truth Your shoes click and echo up the hall 18 abysses that I've fallen down Now I'm learning how much hell our world was made of Come thru my door; I won't make one more mistake And, of course, that's a lie I just made Come thru my door; don't say that you need a break And throw out my black heart to the dogs Come thru my door - come thru my door Come thru my door; I won't make one more mistake And, of course, that's a lie I just made Come thru my door; don't say that you need a break And throw away my heart Don't you throw away my heart

"Hologram" 03:46
It’s nothin’ more than transparent strings 
They’re holdin’ our heads above
 The dark water down here in the sink
 They used to do so much more. Some days I don’t feel gravity
 And I can just float in the air Like a butterfly, but on a leash 
I’ll never give up this fight, no. Ooh, I’ll take you as you is 
If you don’t mind who I been It only spreads if you let it 
Ya know, love is so ignorant
 It’s hot as a kite on power lines
 Your smile could win this war Ooh, I shown you what I am 
So please, don’t be a hologram
 I’m on these pills for this and that
 ‘Cause sometimes I forget the truth
 That out there ya are ; in here I am 
But i’ll keep you safe from the spark
 But don’t be no damn hologram
 Although you probably are
 Yeah you probably are
 You probably are
 You most probably are – oh no 
Don’t be no damn.. hologram

"Angela" 03:08
You drive me to drink & I drive when I shouldn't That's more than I care to admit right now Despite my attempts I probably couldn't stay away from you for long I'm not blind but I can't see the same things you do, unfortunately We're just too different, Angela The patched up sidewalks between our apartments I've walked them oh so many times before I always looked forward to seein' your face Oh! I'd skip ev'ry crack a-long the way I didn't want bad luck to come between us but somehow it did! Angela, keep doin' lines till you're satisfied But our life, you must admit, is turning It's turning to sh*t The patched up sidewalks between apartments I've walked them oh so many times I'm not blind but i can't see the same things you do, unfortunately 'm not blind We're just too different
8.
All my secrets fall like arrows on you And you'll be weighing my persuasion soon So love it or leave it; I'm trying not to care You know that i told you so Oh well, I'll be around - you know i'll be around And all the good times and all the bad i'll take uh hmmm I could use a break, I just neeed a break But if the statue gets in your bed Just don't let it go to your head But I could be your symphony And I could be your man But if all you want is just a pretty face, well I'll be around And if what you need is just some room to breathe, I'll let you out Oh, i'm dreamin' - your heart is repeating my love But if the statue of david Just don't let it go to your head But I could be your symphony And I could be your man But I could be your symphony I'll raise you, uncage you But if all you want is just a pretty face, well I'll be around And if what you need is just some room to breathe, I'll let you out ooh I'll be around ooh I won't let you down
