Push

She said I don´t know if I´ve ever been good
enough
I´m a little but rusty and I think my head is
caving in
And I don´t know if I´ve ever been
really loved
By a hand that´s touched me
And I feel like something gonna give and I´m a little bit angry
This ain´t over no not here
Not while I still need you around
You don´t owe me
We might change yet
Yeah we just might feel good

I want to push you around
Well I will well I will
I want to push you down
Well I will well I will
I want to take you for granted
I want to take you for granted
Yeah I will I will

She said I don´t know why you ever would
lie to me
Like I´m a little untrusting
When I think that the truth is gonna
hurt ya
And I don´t know why you couldn´t just stay
with me
You couldn´t stand to be near me
When my face don´t seem to want to
shine
Cause it´s a little bit dirty
Well, don´t just stand there say nice
things to me
I´ve been cheated I´ve been wronged
You don´t know me
Yeah well I can´t change I won´t do anything at all

I want to push you around
Well I will well I will
I want to push you down
Well I will well I will
I want to take you for granted
I want to take you for granted
Yeah I will I will

Oh well don´t bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kind of fell apart
Things get so craZy crazy
Don´t rush this baby baby

I want to push you around
Well I will well I will
I want to push you down
Well I will well I will
I want to take you for granted
I want to take you for granted
Yeah I will I will


3 AM

she says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
she's always woried about things like that
she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
and she only sleeps when its raining
and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)
and she says baby
it's 3am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
she says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

she's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
and in her color protrait world she believes that she's got it all
she swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when its raining
and she screams, and her voice is straining
(chorus)

she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
and the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days, and days
she thinks that happiness is the mat that sits on her doorway
but outside its stopped raining

(chorus)


Real World

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
and you can come and see them when I'm done....when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
from some other planet, I'd get this funky high on yellow sun
boy I bet my friends will all be....stunned.......they're stunned
yeah

(chorus)
straight up what did you hope to learn about here
if I were someone else would this all fall apart
strange, where were you when we started this gig
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me...and you....and
you...and me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this, man, get me some
And boy don't make me want to change my.....tone.....my tone....
yeah

(chorus)

please don't change, please don't break
the only thing that seems to work at all is you
please don't change, at all from me
to you, and you to me....yeah
(chorus)


Back 2 Good

it’s nothing, it’s so normal
you just stand there I could say so much
but I don’t go there cuz I don’t want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
maybe we could leave here and no one would know
at least not to the point that we would think so

everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
it’s best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn’t tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
but I’m lonely now, and I don’t know how
to get it back to good

this don’t mean that, you own me
this ain’t no good, in fact it’s phony as hell
but things worked out just like you wanted too
if you see me out you don’t know me
try to turn your head, try to give me some room
to figure out just what I’m going to do

and everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do
it’s best if we all keep this quiet instead
and I couldn’t tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
but I’m sorry now, and I don’t know how
to get it back to good

everyone here, is wondering what it’s like to be with
somebody else
everyone here’s to blame, everyone here
gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
shades of shame, but looking inside we’re the same, we’re the same
and we’re all grown now, but we don’t know how to get it back to good

everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking ‘bout somebody else
it’s best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn’t tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
but it’s over now, and I don’t know how, it’s over now
there’s no getting back to good
