1.Million Miles
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
Can you roll down the window？
Can I have a cigarette？
Can I sweep you for forgiveness？
Can I sweep you for regret？
And can you drive a little faster
To clear my head？
Can you see that I've been crying？
Can you tell that I've been alone？
Can we walk the streets at the same time？ I don't mind
I'll be quiet and no one will know
And can you drive a little faster？
Take me home
These are the days that make up the lifetimes
These are the clothes that I wear
This is the only thing I wanted more than anything
I wanna fall at a million miles an hour
With people and little picture radios
And I'm smiling but I'm trying hard not to smile at all
And I crave for the little conversation
And the way you toss your hair back, you're beautiful
And it suits me fine
These are the days that make up the lifetimes
These are the clothes that I wear
And this is the only thing I wanted more than anything
I wanna fall at a million miles an hour
With people and little picture radios
And I'm smiling but I'm trying hard not to smile at all
And I crave for the little conversation
And the way you toss your hair back, you're beautiful
And it suits me fine
I wanna fall at a million miles an hour
With people and little picture radios
And I'm smiling but I'm trying hard not to smile at all
And I crave for the little conversation
And the way you toss your hair back, you're beautiful
And it suits me fine
These are the days that make up the lifetimes
These are the lifetimes that make up generations
These are the lifetimes that make up generations
These are the days that make up the lifetimes
2.Loss, Strain And Butterflies
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
He got bad and she got mad
And he lowered one more time
And she got even
No one heard a single word
And as the clock ticked from next door
I could hear her breathing
And I said, 'Good morning Mrs. Sumner
I would like you to meet my friend Mr. Jones
He has a house made out of butterflies'
I can't sleep sometimes but I've been told
It's a lonely condition called growing old
Let me stumble sometimes
I'm looking for a soul to cling to
Girl what you think about that？
This time, well, it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Then it comes right down to me
Hello have you been alright？
Did you find a piece of something wrapped around
The light side of your life
To make you feel better
Did you get out with your sanity？
Did you save a little something for the people in need？
And did you know with the rain in your pockets？
You can change the weather
I'm looking for a soul to cling to
Girl what you think about that？
This time, well, it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Then it comes right down to me
This time, well, it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Then it comes right down to me
Is it just the total for the wages of our sins？
And have you made yourself a victim？
In a game that you can't win
And our we caving in
And does it all depend on loss and strain and butterflies？
And does it come right down to me anymore？
This time, does it all come down
To loss and strain and butterflies？
Come on down to me
3.Like Roses
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
Please don't make me answer you
The world is big but my circles are small
And please don't try to shut me out
I'm in love that's all
I'm not afraid to listen
If you're not afraid to hear
And please don't laugh, I just can't help
Grinning when I'm giving it all
And please don't show, you're face around my place
I've seen it all before
And I'm not afraid of dying
But sometimes I refrain
I believe that life goes on like a hurricane
And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane
anymore
And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough
And in the end, there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only
want
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream
To feel soft like a freight train
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud
Like a rough little soldier
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses
Comes through like roses
Looking down, I see my cigarette is even
With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket
Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven
You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong or I was sorry
I can see
Your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round
And you're glaring at the people
Like you've been shut down quarter time
It's a war gonna win
No matter what it takes
And you can feel
Every second of the cold heartache coming down
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream
To feel soft like a freight train
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud
Like a rough little soldier
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses
Comes through like roses
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream
To feel soft like a freight train
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud
Like a rough little soldier
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses
Comes through like roses
4.This Is Not A Lovesong
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
I'm running out of reasons for caring about the other half
I think my half wants a little more pride
I'm running out of reasons for sharing sometimes I can't think
of one
I'm running out of faces that I can call familiar
Hey man, I'm running out of friends that I can call at all
How long have I been sleeping, why the hell am I awake？
It seems just to stand here, is overkill
If I bend any farther, I swear that I'll break
And I think you should let me, it all seems so perfect, yet
Some people, some people get lonely, some people, they just grow
older
And scared of a little pain and we people, we cause a commotion
We didn't mean to be confused, we didn't mean to be alive
And we don't want to be standing here, standing here
How long have we been sleeping, why the hell are we awake？
It seems just to stand here, is overkill
If I bend any farther, I swear that I'll break
We ask and we burn what we hear, on the water
And we speak, we burn what we say but if you hold the rain
It's just a little further, don't wanna scare you, don't be
unhappy
This is not a love song, this is not a love song
We ask and we burn what we hear, on the water
And we speak, we burn what we say but if you hold the rain
It's just a little further, don't wanna scare you, don't be
unhappy
This is not a love song, this is not a love song
5.The Only One
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
I don't know what we're fighting about
When everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one
I only wanted to be the only one
A chance to be forgiven, a chance to be forsaken
Did I ever by chance cross your mind？
I only wanted a chance to see you shine
I only wanted a chance to see you shine
I don't have no worries, no and I don't need no answers
And there's just enough to make it day by day
Just enough to make you fade away
I don't know what we're fighting about
Everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one
I only wanted to be the only one
I don't need forgiveness and I wont be forsaken
And I'm only here to take back what is mine
I cant believe the dullness of your shine
Just enough has been taken away
To make me believe in it all and I pray
And I've only been on at the start to begin
Just enough that there seems to be no end
I only wanted to see your face again
I only wanted to touch your face again
I don't know what we're fighting about
Every one can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one
I only wanted to be the only one
6.3 A.M.
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried 'bout things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
She only sleeps when it's rainin'
And she screams and her voice is strainin'
And she says, 'Baby, it's 3 a.m. I must be lonely'
When she says, 'Baby
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
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 portrait world she believes that she's got it
all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
She only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining
And she says, 'Baby, it's 3 a.m. I must be lonely'
And when she says, 'Baby
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
The rain's gonna wash away, I believe it'
You know I believe it
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
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
And outside it's stopped raining
She says, 'Baby, it's 3 a.m. I must be lonely'
And when she says, 'Baby
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
The rain's gonna wash away, I believe it'
It's 3 a.m. I must be lonely'
And when she says, 'Baby
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
The rain's gonna wash away, I believe it'
7.Forever Decemeber
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
I reach within my isolation
I harbor it, I honor it
You say you'd like to see me closer
Of course you would, you have no choice
And I cry 'cause the weather has gotten to me
And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives
Silly pictures
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
Baby's getting older
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
You build the wall, I'll build the fountain
We'll wrestle it, we'll conquer it
I think we'll live to see the mountain
Of course we will, we have no choice
And I cry 'cause the weather has gotten to me
And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives
Silly pictures
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
Baby's getting older, baby's getting older
Hey now, now, now, hey, now hey, baby
The tide is turning, don't turn me away
And I can remember, forever December
The center of dying, the heart of the pain
The rose in the bottle, the thorns in the bottom
The stars surround me, the cold astounds me
And I cry 'cause the weather has gotten to me
And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives
Pretty pictures
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
Baby's getting older, baby's getting older
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
Hey now, hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
Baby's getting older, baby's getting older
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
Baby's getting older, baby's getting older
Hey now, now, now, hey now, hey, baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
8.Paint Me Blue
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
Oh yeah, oh yeah
There's not enough of me well
There's way too much of you
I think I saw some happy people yesterday
And that'll never do
There's never too much violence
Ain't it time we had a war
You leave on your shirt and I'll be skins
And we'll go flying through the door
These are violent times
And I only want to do my part
To sink to hatreds depths
And smiling at what we've all become
'Cause I need understanding
Just a pack or two
To help me with my troubles
And what to do's
Well, I don't feel no raging
Well, there ain't nothing new
And now drop me in the ocean
And paint me blue
I don't have a worry
And I don't have a care
And I don't have a sound piece of mind
But I manage to fare
I don't like my neighbors
Well, they're just not my kind
I think it might be all for the whales
And I really don't mind
These are the golden years
And I think it's time to cash them in
To sit in our rocking chairs
And talk about the good old days
'Cause I need understanding
Just a pack or two
And now help me with my troubles
And what to do's
Well, I don't feel no raging
Well, there ain't nothing new
And now drop me in the ocean
And paint me blue
These are violent times
And I only want to do my part
To sink to hatreds depths
And smiling at what we've all become
'Cause I need understanding
Just a pack or two
Help me with my troubles
And what to do's
Well, I don't feel no raging
Well, there ain't nothing new
I said drop me in the ocean
And paint me blue
Baby, won't you paint me
Won't you paint me blue
Baby, won't you paint me
Won't you paint me blue
Baby, won't you paint me
Won't you paint me blue
Baby, won't you paint me
Won't you paint me blue
Paint me blue
Paint me blue
9.High
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
She had said, 'Don't cry'
Said, 'It only hurts forever, and all we have is time'
Yeah, she said, she will never know
So close your eyes, turn down the lights
And I can start this show
Yeah, well I can't sleep, so I believe
If the shades are drawn, then the slate is clean
So don't look at pride, well there is no other way now
Don't try to make no sense of this scene
It's just between Caroline and me and we keep changing
Yeah, we can grow like a board on the shore
She says, I'm restless just a little more time
Well, you know damn well she wants to feel this high
Yeah, we knew just who we were
Yeah, well who we thought we'd try to be
And who it's gonna hurt
Oh but if I'd said, if I was strong at all
Well, then I wouldn't be with someone else
I know where I belong
Yeah, well I can't sleep, so I believe
If the shades are drawn, then the slate is clean
So don't look at pride, well there is no other way, yeah
Don't try to make no sense of this scene
It's just between Caroline and me and we keep changing
Yeah, we can grow like a board on the floor
She says, I'm restless just a little more time
A little more time
Well, you know damn well she wants to feel this high
Yeah, well I can't sleep so I believe
If the shades are drawn, then the slate is clean
So don't look at pride, well there is no other way, yeah
Don't try to make no sense of this scene
It's just between Caroline and me and we keep changing
Yeah, we can grow like a board on the floor
She says, I'm restless just a little more time
Well, you know damn well she wants to feel this high
She wants to feel this high, high, high, high, high
10.Dizzy
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
And outside the sky is falling
People dodging raindrops, staying dry
And inside I never gave a damn
About those outside people anyway
And it hurt me
They don't even know who I am
And inside, there's no rainbows
And inside, I try, I try, I try
Try to clear my head
And outside, the rain is drying
And inside, I'm dying
'Cause in here, I'm staring at the rings
My coffee cup has made on the table
And in here, I know, I know I know
That this is as good as it gets
And in time I hope to be the one
That talks about the other half
And until then, I count the cracks on the wall
Until it's time to lay my head
And inside, I play with shadows
And inside, I know, I know, I know
That I'll feel this way all day, all day
And outside, there's hope for trying, inside I'm dying
You walk before me, Lord knows I can't follow
You walk behind me and I don't think I can lead
You walk around me, please don't walk around me
'Cause you know how dizzy I get
11.Here Comes Horses
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
Help me to remember girl if you don't mind
'Cause I feel just like the jester when the music died
Haven't seen you lately
But I know that nothing's changed
Feeling kinda shaky but the wounds have healed
There's a crack there in the doorway where the walls have peeled
Well I still see, the sun go down on a clear day
Here comes horses
And here there goes the rain
Here goes nothing
Here it comes again
I was thinking I was angry but I'll let it go
I was waiting on a miracle but nothing showed
And they say our new messiah
He's at the local bar
Greetings from the home front have you heard the news
That daddy bet his paycheck on the horses shoes
And we won't feel that way for a long long time
Well, long time yeah
Here comes horses
And here there goes the rain
Here goes nothing
Here it comes again
Sitting in a taxi at the evenings end
I was trying to remember where it was I'd been and
Whether I've got someplace else to be
I ask you why you come here, you say just because
I guess, I could do without it if I knew what it was well
It really doesn't matter, when you look at me that way
Well, here comes horses
And here there goes the rain
Here goes nothing
Here it comes again
Well, here comes horses
And here goes the rain
Here goes nothing
12.Blue Monday
Lyricist：John Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Rob Thomas, Brian Yale
She wanna give it all away, yeah, she say when come the rain
I get the feeling there's something more to talk about here
So I see him and earn my keep, you know then she moved away
I pray for nothing, I'm saving it all for one time
I said, 'Hold me now, be there when shit goes down
Don't try to pick my head, sometimes I don't make sense'
I'm no good just believing in someone else
Would you think I were weak if I just break down？
Oh, now it's coming on again
Hold on, it won't take long
Blue Monday, it's a big Monday ahead
There's a remanence to me
Yeah, when it stands where I stand
Yeah, we want nothing more of this
And I hate what I do to myself
I said, 'Hold me now, be there when shit goes down
Don't try to pick my head, sometimes I don't make sense'
I'm no good just believing in someone else
Would you think I were weak if I just break down？
Oh, now it's coming on again
Hold on, it won't take long
Blue Monday, it's a big Monday ahead
I wanna give it all away because there's something that was
nothing
Now she swears that she needed when she didn't know anything at
all
I believe her and she wants to say, well
She's more than a nothing, I say she loved ya, well
I'm no good just believing in someone else
Would you think I were weak if I just break down？
Oh, now it's coming on again
Hold on, 'cause it won't take long
Blue Monday, big Monday ahead
