i'm walking with my back to the wind i'm walking with my back to the wind and i don't think i'll be back this way again i'm walking with my back to the wind 'cause chemicals control the thing we do yeah chemicals control the thing we do and you know that i'd do anything for you but chemicals control the thing we do and it'll be a month of sundays 'till i get to where i'm going so i won't forget the places that i've been and those endless miles of highway and the sky when it starts snowing gonna pick me up and dust me off again i don't listen to your records anymore i don't listen to your records anymore 'cause they're broken and i've heard them all before i don't listen to your records anymore and chemicals control the things we do yeah chemicals control the things we do and heaven knows i wish it wasn't true but chemicals control the things we do and i'm sad to say i never saw the seeds that i've been sowing put their roots down in the ground and start to grow but i look up at the sky and know it's time that i get going i just gotta find a way to let you know gotta find a way to let you know and i'll walk out in the snow in the streetlight's soft white glow steady as we go i'm walking with my back to the wind i'm walking with my back to the wind and i don't think i'll be back this way again i'm walking with my back to the wind and i don't think i'll be back this way again no i don't think i'll be back this way again i'm walking with my back to the wind

Sunglasses 03:46
i see my overcoat over your shoulder and I don't want to put it on 'cause all the roads are frozen over forget the highway when i'm gone the warmest eyes are getting colder they'll melt away out in the sun you'll understand it when you're older forget the highway when i'm done forget the highway when i'm done i hate to tell you but i saw it coming don't bother choosing a side 'cause now my eyes are tired of all the running and i've got nothing to hide and it's so hard to find the words to say right and i don't want to say wrong but if your eyes are tired of all the daylight just put your sunglasses on so stop and tell me if i push it too hard like i've got something to prove or stop and tell me if i take it too far the way i always do 'cause i remember you when you were lonely so it won't be a surprise when i can see through your sunglasses and there are tears in your eyes too weak to surrender, too tired to fight not looking for answers, just to get through the night you know i'm crazy for you, you're fucking crazy too if there were something we could talk about it, 'cause you've got nothing else to do it might be better for me but i doubt it, i've still got something to prove so i'm not offering any favors i expect to get back and i'm not asking you to be my savior just try and keep me on track 'cause i don't have any misconceptions about the way it should be but i can see through your sunglasses and you're not looking at me yeah i can see through your sunglasses and you're not looking at me

Celebrate 03:42
some people never change some things are never the same somebody told me that that's just the shape of the game protect the memories that's all that's keeping you sane forget your bellyaches it makes it hard to complain i took it all today so much more than i could take without your sleeping aid i'm only staying awake too many razor blades and nights alive in our graves let's hope we make it straight if there's still something to save so sound the snare drum send off the flare gun we've gotta celebrate our cynical days every day gets easier the breeze comes in and blows the blues away you took it all tonight looked like you wanted to die it took too long to tell if it was real but didn't hurt to try you looked a little lost what did i think i could find i looked the other way i must be out of my mind
4.
Strings 03:47
there are a lot of things that are wrong with me there are a lot of things that are wrong with you but if you pull some strings and you're strong for me then i'll pull some strings and i'll sing for you i got this car but it's more like an ashtray every road comes and goes, all that trash stays when all those mile-markers take their toll try not to let that highway break your soul i got this scar but it's more like a birthmark little lights still ignite at the first spark some burn so beautiful, fast and bright you can't expect them to last the night got this guitar but she's more like my girlfriend hold her close in my arms till the world ends i run my fingers down these strings the blues still linger but they stands and sings
5.
there's somebody that i used to know who's been in my dreams again and i haven't felt her sunshine since i can't remember when but i still remember her smile shining painted on my skin it reminds me of the people that i've been so take it easy like the leaves grow on the trees i'll take you everywhere i go we'll sleep through summer days like we're floating on the breeze you know nobody has to know but i've got nowhere to go and i'm still too high to sleep and i don't want to fight a night so lovely dark and deep 'till i wake up sunday morning, easy like the afternoon ain't it strange the way it always comes so soon 'cause there's something in our blood that prevents us from keeping still 'till we both lay down together in that graveyard on the hill and it ain't too hard to see all the trouble that i'm in 'cause somebody that i used to know has been in my dreams again take off your skin for me, i'll take off mine for you and take you where ever you want to go we'll make for the interstate and we'll split this town in two and if you care, nobody has to know but that's just how it goes, and it goes away in the end and it's painful for a while, but it's helpful to pretend that you feel the same without her and you'll always be good friends when she's just someone you used to know who's been your dreams again yeah that's just how it goes, and it goes away in the end like somebody that i used to know who's been in my dreams again
6.
our love is made of water and water always finds a way but we both know that means nothing if we can't think of what to say i should say that you mean more to me than you'll ever know but i can't find the time to find the words before we go so never stop and wonder if this is the best it gets there are no second chances and there should be no regrets and it took a little bit of getting lost along the way but i think i finally made it and i think i'd like to stay and it's different every time but i think this time might be better 'cause you fit me like a glove so i can wear you like a sweater and you'll keep me warm and comfort me, protect me from the weather and i'll let myself believe that it can be like this forever
7.
another missed connection, another wasted night alone another hour until the sunrise comes and turns us back to stone so pour another round and make it stronger than the last and maybe this time i won't finish mine so fast i'd tell you that i love you like i've never done before but it's harder now that nothing lasts forever anymore and nothing i say matters cause not a word is true but there's no one here to tell us what to do another night to nullify the nothing that i find another morning picking up the pieces in my mind another cup of coffee before i start another day and i know there's gotta be another way 'cause i don't need another night of names that i'll forget don't need another number and another numb regret until another winter sinks her teeth into my skin then i'll find another new way to begin so light another cigarette to slow my racing heart 'cause we can't burn down the world tonight, but it's someplace to start and if i lit another candle everything might be alright but i'd rather curse the dark than spark a light cause there's another whispered secret that i didn't need to know another day to get my shit together before i have to go and then another month of sundays till i'm back this way again but i always end up back here in the end cause we always sing the same old bitter song when we rejoice and i'd sing another verse but i've already lost my voice but i'll be back again tomorrow night to sing another song and maybe next time i'll try not to sing it wrong yeah i'll be back again tomorrow night to sing another song and maybe next time i'll try not to sing it wrong

S.L.Y. 05:19
if i told you that i love you could i get you to cry? so the light that hangs above you would reflect in your eye and if i told you that i miss you could i see you tonight? and if i came and tried to kiss you would that be alright? yeah 'cause lately i've been feeling like i shouldn't let you down and i might not feel so lonely if i still saw you around and i want to make it better but i really don't know how so if i regret this tomorrow at least i know i don't regret it now well i missed you the party... might as well have stayed home but i saw you at the movie... you looked happy alone so i'm drinking too much coffee and i'm writing a song and it sounds so familiar, but it still sounds all wrong yeah and lately i've been thinking that i shouldn't let you go and i don't know what you're thinking so you gotta let me know and i want to make you love me but i really don't know how so if i hate myself tomorrow at least i know i don't regret it now well the winter's cold and lonely, but the summer never ends and i wonder when it's over do you think we'll be friends? 'cause i told you that i need you, but i know you don't care and it isn't what i wanted, but i'm still glad you're there
9.
can't remember why i came nothing worth the wait will ever stay the same but i've got nowhere to go now i guess i'll go and get high i didn't mean to sleep so late wouldn't want to wait for me to wake up dry it would have been so easy when our hearts would start to flutter and fly haven't got a soul to blame really hope that someday you can say the same it wasn't what i wanted but i finally had to sever the tie i didn't mean to get so drunk tried to rub the sleep out of my sunken eyes i would have done things different if i'd known that we'd be saying goodbye now all of my friends are gone i finally fell asleep here with the tv on and fell in love with the sound that makes me feel like i'm not sleeping alone so play me that song again the one about the way we were way back when it left me dry as a bone and finally carried me home
10.
try not to worry about the weather a little rain is not that bad 'cause we've been through so much together and think of all the fun we've had there's something that i meant to tell you try not to think about the pain and you don't need your new umbrella you know it's just a little rain and when you get to where you're going will you know just where you've been? will you remember what you've seen? i think there's something i could show you if you'd only let me in it's just the way you dreamed try not to worry about the weather a little rain will do you good i know you like the sunshine better you know i'd change it if i could but you still know just where to find me there's no use holding back the tide you won't need pictures to remind me you never really left my mind and when the party's finally over we've been here for so long i think it's time for us to go and if you're crying on my shoulder well i know there's something wrong but there's something you should know try not to worry about the weather it's getting better every day and since we're gonna live forever there's no place that we have to stay try not to think about the future it's gonna happen anyway and worrying just doesn't suit you i guess there's nothing left to say no i know there's nothing left yeah i've got nothing left to say
