Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.

REACHING OUT

You've counted every star
That you could imagine
Broken when everyone took you for a fool
It gave you a reason
To find something strong enough to feel

You're reaching out (reaching out)
You're reaching out (reaching out)
You're reaching out

Beaten by a child
You can't even know when
Now you can never be free from what was done
You can't even hate them
You'll find something big enough to steal
You're reaching out (reaching out)
You're reaching out (reaching out)
You're reaching out
And if i can't know you
All my dreams are through
Every waking hour is filled with lead
I'm dead

And if i can't know you
All my dreams are through
Every waking hour is filled with lead

GET OLDER

Who cares if they don't think your cool?
They make everything about rules
And your older than that now
Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay

Who cares if you don't know what you want
'cause they don't know what they've got
And you cannot resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay
Resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want




DO IT AGAIN


I'll do it again
If i have to love you from afar
You'll do it again
Before we get too far
And i'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time

'cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real

I'll do it again
I will let you take me for a ride
You'll do it again
Start opening then hide
And i'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time

'cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real
I'll do it again...

A love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real

And i'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time
'cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real
I'll do it again
I'll do it again



SMOG MOON


There's a smog moon, in the amber sky, wavering and burning like a golden lie
I fell so far, i didn't think i'd make it back
We are all made, as an afterthought,
Destined to believe that we are what we are not
I'm afraid, but i don't need to tell you that

There's a smog moon coming i can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like

There's a lost man, with a bitter soul, only for a moment,
Did life make him whole
And while he was, he thought he was invincible

There's a smog moon coming i can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
They're not your words, but you're reciting the lines
You don't mean a thing, but you exist in their minds
How does it feel, when they have turned out the lights?
'cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight.

And the dark night, has the strongest pull
We both know that staying young, can take its toll
Are you afraid of finding out you're over that

There's a smog moon coming i can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like
It's white
