"I'm In Love Because I Know You"--Goos
NOTE: Sometimes, the lyrics may not match up with what you hear. Why so??? Because that's just how it works. I'm only typing out lyrics that I see written in the cover sleeve with a copyright by the Goos. So these are the original words, even if the band chose different ones later. And for songs I don't have written-out lyrics for??? You're out of luck, because I don't like to play guessing games. I can figure it out mostly, but I don't want to put false info on this site. There are trillions of other sites you can go to that are hosted by people who are very good guessers. I'd recommend the World of Goo. Check out the link on the page entitled (what else?) "Links," and say that Steph sent you. =)
uhhh, didn't she say she was gonna give us lyrics or something??? Chill out, it's coming. In fact, it's here: (well, there, but close enough)

LAUGHING
I wake up I'm staring at the clock my belly hurts and my head is like a rock I get up to see what I could see furthest I got was my black and white TV eyewitness news brought to you at noon oh my God guess I got up too soon because oh I feel like laughing all because of you I didn't mean to wear this disguise but I can't stand the look in my eyes oh I didn't mean to lie I was doing what I thought was right come on walk right down the line you'll be walking til the end of time because oh I feel like laughing all because of you
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
I'm in love because I know you and I'm sorry I don't show you and if I find that you ain't by me I'm afraid no one will know the things you see how could you believe in someone sorry sad like me I know the deal and I thank you anyway and if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet you never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you and I guess that's just the way you are and all the things that you don't show me like when you pretend that you don't know me I wasted a dime and I can't call you I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you how could you believe in someone sorry sad like me I know the deal and I thank you anyway and if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet you never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you and I guess that's just the way you are Hold Me Up! Hold Me Up! Hold Me Up! Hold Me Up!
SO OUTTA LINE
I heard the floor creek or so I thought I had my head rubbing on the ceiling they say that indecision makes one weak my indecisions suddenly been deepened one day ain't forever you'll find your time you look outside it's snow been snow so long you know just feel like letting go so outta line you've worked so hard for everything you've got ten minutes later you're a loser count your blessings and the ones you love at this point we beggars can't be choosers one day ain't forever you'll find your time you look outside it's snow been snow so long you know just feel like letting go so outta line
THERE YOU ARE
Give me a reason now that I can understand pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand I've been up and down for you my suffering extreme I feel on my face for you now I know what it means and I self destruct I close my eyes and then there you are yeah you can run out west forget you know my name you say you got your shit together but you ain't got no faith method in madness now there's madness in soul I'd run from the darkness now I've got no place to go and I self destruct I close my eyes and then there you are
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
It's been a long dark lonely hall between the cracks I can read the scrawl it's written down in a crooked rhyme that sold me out before my time but since then I've been back down to the edge I can't believe the things you never said I can't explain the words I never found my whole world should come crashing down but you can't sell me out with everything you think about I think back now I draw a blank there ain't no need to dig the past I don't wanna live my life in a day I ain't got no need for this plastic cage but you don't think about anything I think about you know what I mean now you know for sure you're alive you watched her leave before your eyes now I'm afraid to say your name but I ain't afraid to share this blame but you can't sell me out with everything you think about you know what I mean It's been a long dark lonely hall between the cracks I can read the scrawl find a place it feels like home get some clue to where I'm going you don't think about anything I think about you know what I mean
OUT OF THE RED
I ain't got no outfits to pick and choose so I really ain't got that much to lose pictures getting funny and it's stuck on channel 3 and the whole things looking pretty silly to me 50,000 more and I'm out of the red heavy metal thrash band it's all a bunch of shit people trying to name me while I'm trying to do my bit I ain't got the patience or the time to waste call me a rock star you can spit in my face gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself the booze is over there take a glass off the shelf if you ain't had enough by tomorrow at noon we're gonna place a call to the Boneyard Crew went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed
HEY
I thought about you just last Saturday my voice got cracked I didn't know what to say down in the shade or maybe in the sun and if you need it I think I got one where are you and what's on your mind where are you am I wasting my time where are you and what's on your mind I just want to know if I'm wasting my time I snuck out of work to see her smile I'll hold her hostage for a little while I wrote a letter thought I'd let you know I'm right behind you any time you go where are you and what's on your mind where are you am I wasting my time where are you and what's on your mind I just want to know if I'm wasting my time my mind got busy around 3 a.m. or so crawled in your room through the back window hoped when you woke up you wouldn't get too mad I hope I never wake up your old man where are you and what's on your mind where are you am I wasting my time where are you and what's on your mind I just want to know if I'm wasting my time
ON YOUR SIDE
I'm on a mission baby I'm not hearing what you're saying stop preaching at me now I'm not a revelation superstar or new sensation I'm just hiding away my frowns oh no we don't see eye to eye I'm on your side with a smile and a sigh I'm on your side 5 a.m. I shut my eyes then my worries tranquilized don't think the morning comes too soon If I don't see the morning that's okay they're pretty boring see you tomorrow afternoon oh no we don't see eye to eye I'm on your side with a smile and a sigh I'm on your side you're living in a trailer friends all think that you're a failure but are you thinking for yourself you read the Sunday paper wife's pissed off cuz you ain't laid her rolling pennies for your wealth me too we don't see eye to eye I'm on your side with a smile and a sigh I'm on your side
22 SECONDS
I feel so important today and I wish I didn't
KNOW MY NAME
What kind of situation have I brought upon myself some kind of bad reaction blamed it all on someone else don't pretend like you know my name cuz I ain't never seen you before you got me laughing at me laughing all about myself I had a drink last Friday heard the news from the someone else don't pretend like you know my name cuz I ain't never seen you before you got me running running far from myself you got me coming coming home to someone else don't pretend like you know my name cuz I ain't never seen you before
TWO DAYS IN FEBRUARY
I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed everything I feel you say you got not faith in things that you can't see well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me and I'm down in all my fears but I ain't crying no tears over you cause everything's wrong well it's all right you said that this is crazy you're a half a world away well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say so I said something I can't touch I always want way too much anyway cause everything's wrong well it's all right I hung your picture on the wall but that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west don't get me wrong I'm not impressed with you no more
