The People Mover

Unsung Zeros The People Mover Lyrics
1.Back To Life

Lyricist:Meredith Willson

Back to life again
The seemingly endless problems are all over
Back to what had been
A life where the good times never end

Saved your childhood
You grasped what's important
Though you did not know it
Important as it seems
Responsibility too soon goes nowhere

You and I we're both too young to grow up
It will lead us down

There's no point to giving in
To things that we'll be doing
When we're older and we've lived a bit
Taken life and wrestled it
Twenty years from now

Back to life again
You're living your dreams now
Because you have found out
If you don't live them now
They will be dreams forever

Dreams forever
Dreams forever


2.Smile

Lyricist:Mario Kamien, Vlado Dzihan

Regrets are my bedfellows
I'm feeling so alone
I've messed up my life palette
Now it's colored up with woes

Just two simple words
Have changed me to no end
Just two simple words
To quote you only friends

I miss your smile
When I'm sleeping all alone
I'm in our house
And you're not ever home
Changed residence
Stopped paying out the rent
And girl, oh, I miss your smile

When I drive by your house
It makes me wanna cry
Each time I see your face
It makes me wanna die

So why do I sit back
And look through picture books of you?
I guess, I'm just screwed up
And that's all I can do

I miss your smile
When I'm sleeping all alone
I'm in our house
And you're not ever home
Changed residence
Stopped paying out the rent
And girl, I miss your smile

I miss your smile
When I'm sleeping all alone
I'm in our house
And you're not ever home
Changed residence
Stopped paying out the rent
And girl, I miss your smile

I miss your smile
I miss your smile
Oh, I miss your smile
I miss your smile


3.Sixty Minutes

It always seems that when I
Need something
There's something to sing about
Life throws curves
And for that I'm happy no doubt
Christmas is gone
And summer is over
There's no longer time for a break
But make no mistake
Make no mistake
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm in love with the thought
That no matter what happens
An hour from now
No one knows how for sure it works
Can can you wait
Now give it a minute to think
There's so much to live for
There's a reason to breath
Every time I wake up in the morning
I'm fraught with anxiety
Broken dreams
Scare me so I cannot sleep
But I've seen the light
And put fear aside
So I can go on with my day
Cause you never know
What might come my way


4.You'll Never Know Who She Is

I haven't quite recovered
From being your friend
It takes so much out of me
Cause I want you more but then
I realize we're not meant to be
Not even in the least
But I've fallen for you anyway
I'm wishing you could see

Your face, your eyes
Please tell me you love me tonight
Because right now that would mean more
Than anything

Your lips
Form words
That make my heart beat so fast
That I'm sure
In two short words
You are my everything

Maybe one day down the road
You'll know you were my crush
But knowing that would separate us
And mess our friendship up
So now I'll sit here in the shadows
While others come and go
Feeling all these things for you
And wishing you could know


5.Tonight

Stood on top of the world
New York City high above the streets below
Where no one was around
From up here it seems
That time has gone and stopped
And I cannot believe the world's
Still spinning round
Have you ever
Wanted to be king
Well I don't think I
Ever have been
So close to that feeling
Standing between
The earth and the sky
Well I won't ever forget tonight
I won't ever forget
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Saw snow for the first time
Watched it come down white and cold
Covering up all that I could see
I've been waiting for this moment
Since I was a child
And now it's finally happening to me


6.Fall

Take me out
Drag my face across pavement
And make it look wrinkled and old
Cause that's how I feel today
Spent out like change
You toss out at toll booths
It adds up when you drive a lot
And you hate to use it
But it sends you on your way
That's the point
I went on
Without you

Thought I would fall
And no one would catch me
Lose all I had going for me
But I was wrong
When you let someone control your life
They're the only person
Who makes it seem right
It's hard to change

The funny thing is
I'll end up in the same place
Yeah history repeats itself
And it's sad but at least this time I'll know
That every broken heart's
Not the end of the world
Even though it is hard to believe
I'll cry and I'll go on

That's the point
I can go on
Without you


7.End Of Innocence

The time is drawing near
For me to pack away my things
And leave this life behind
And all the things I've known
And all that I've been taught
Are only in my memory
And I'm not sure
I want to go
Away so soon
The stomping grounds I've known
For all these twenty years
Are many miles away
Like scabs from falls at five
I'm sure they'll fade in my mind
I'm scared they'll fade in my mind
The seasons change
And times move on
I'll always wish for days like these
The seasons change
Our times have moved on
And I'm scared that these
Are my best days
The seasons change
And our time has moved on
God don't let these be mine
Go


8.True Story

Three hours and one ticket later
After plying in a barn
In a used auto lot
Where it was so cold
I could not
Fret the notes just right
We headed back to our hometown
Where we'll dream of better things to come
Dream of better things to come
Ten minutes after finishing
We're packed up to go home
And face another day
Cause once again we were not paid
Enough to cover food or rent
Or anything we need
To make these roadtrips not a dream
I'll dream of better things to come


9.Not What I Expected

I've got a vision in my head
Of how it should be
And I wonder if that's how it will
Work out
When I sit down will I be smiling
A grin on my face
Or will I just want her to
Get out of my head and my mind
That's how it goes
Sometimes I think it will be so right
And then she shows
And it's all wrong
I feel her hand touch on my arm
And my skin grows cold
How can this be
Why's it so fake
And why's it so false
How should I tell her she should go
Cause it's all my fault
I let my heart get ahead of my mind
And everything else


10.Story Of A Stamp

Timmy died last night
A freak car accident
Never saw the pole that he hit
Had no premonition
But what's the saddest
Is the note he left unsent
Briana dear I love you
Oh this note it said
For two long years
Timmy had never found the words
Just a blank stare at her face
When she would ask the question
And now for her
That message goes unheard
Just a stamp between her
And the truth

The little things
Sometimes they're worth so much more
Than what they seem
Sometimes they're all that matters

Briana cried all night
Her one true love was dead
And while she thought
He loved her back
She'd never heard him say it
So later on she put a gun
Against her head
Blew her brains out
Found a place where
Tim could love her there
Found on the morning
After Tim was found it seemed
Such a sad story of broken hearts
Was never written
If only Tim had stamped
And mailed his note you see
Briana could have lived another day


11.By The End Of The Day

By the end of the day
I'll turn and run again
Right back to the girl
Who's put me where I've been
Feeling down turned around
So dizzy that when I get out
I just run right back in
It makes no sense
I run so much
Right back to her
And that's messed up
I really want to get away
She's playing games
That I can't play
Feeling down
Turned around
So dizzy that when I get out
I just run right back in
I'm scared what my life
Would be without her there
I gave up my friends
Back then I didn't care
I should have said
I want my friends instead
Gonna get them back right now
Gonna leave that bitch
For dead


12.Leave Me

Spending time
In not so obvious places
Where no one would search for me
A little dose
Of ambivalence in attitude
As to the trends of the places
I should be
Please don't leave me
Don't tell me there's not time for me
Cause I used to be your best friend
Taking a trip down a road I've been before
These crazies want to change their personalities
For things that I deplore
The rationale of your average trendsetter's pretty hip
But the rationale of those who follow for the crowd's
Just shit


13.Left Out

My life's cut short
The summer's gone
The times we've had
Went down and are gone
I see a change
That takes me down
With all the rest
I see their backs turning away
With wishes of good luck
They say I'll be ok
These times go by so fast
I'll never have them back
I know that life
Will end with a diploma
In my hand
What can I do to make this last
The times we had we so much fun
What can I do now that they're gone
Another life not worth living
In masquerade
