Trying To Never Catch Up

What Made Milwaukee Famous Trying To Never Catch Up Lyrics
1.Idecide

It's to much to believe.
Only speaks in similes.
But, in the end we'll come to see it's obsolete.

Puts the practice into trials.
Makes endeavors all worthwhile.
But, whether winnings glorified, idecide.

Idecide, Idecide, Idecide

We're making friends with matrys, who make their enemies, with
themselves.

They'll take what they need and then give you back some;
Just enough to get by,
Enough sting to be stung,
Enough poison to choke,
Enough rope to be hung.

Have mercy on me for I'll not give up;
Eternally down on my luck.
Words wear no disguise when idecide.

Idecide, Idecide

We're aching from the pressure,
All angles and all asides.
The waitings not the anguish,
Its the ride.

Let me know if you don't think you'll make the team.
So it goes making love is never what it seems.


2.Mercy Me

Geez, Louise!
Where on earth have you been?
It's been such a long time,
Around and back again.
So, I've been thinking,
How could we be seventeen and still believe,
That happiness could ever be after anyone like ourselves?

Hey, did I ever tell you I could see,
guarantees within your smiles?
But we never once agreed on anything that was worthwhile.
So, how could we be seventeen,
And still believe that happiness could ever be anything but what
they told us it would be: obscene.

Oh, now it's safe to believe,
That you'll get what you need.
That you'll get all you deserve,
That there's such things as solemn words like 'always', always,
always, always,
When the truth of the matter is.


3.Hellowdrama

If you're anywhere around here, just come back.
I'll give you everything you need this time, I promise.
It's not so much the way you hurt me, it's more like the way you
make me want to hurt myself.

When you show up it's like a landmine, close enough to leave
indelible scars adhered to one such impressionable person.
Don't say names, protect the innocent, he sure needs a break.

But, What if everyone's got to get back just in time to smoke
that last cigarette, and you're still lingering around the set,
trying to set me off.

Maybe we could take some time to work this out.
I really thing our duties here are the same:
Make it bearable to be careful with each other's emotions

But the only way to mine out what you're doing,
Is for you to envy me.
Then, we can both stay interested.

Oh Charlena, maybe you should write this down,
So we could get it right next time around.
No, Charlena, It's not as simple as it sounds,
To keep your feet planted on common ground.

If anyone knows you, I do.
And if anyone can forgive you, well I'd try to.

But you keep on doing that thing to me.
It's like your dragging me down into your disease,
And can't you see it's brining me to my knees.

What if we could get it all back,
The same way it was before you.
Attacked all evidence of decency in me,
And left me in the debris?

So, Charlena, maybe you could sort this out,
And tell me how you feel about it now.
Whoa, Charlena, maybe you should just sit down,
I'm not sure that it's worth this anyhow.


4.Selling Yourself Short

Never been on time,
Still I could get it right.
But you never know,
So I got down on myself again.
Waiting to defend everything I feel.

And then you come here late tonight,
You're down, you're so uptight.
I said, Hell, it's the weekend
You want to talk it out
The chance is there, but you're too scared to take it.

Oh, you'll never know,
You'll never know.

Never lost control,
Until the day I was told.
Hey man, you'll never know,
So I got down on myself again.
Wanting to defend everything I feel.

You know I tried to please my case,
But no matter what I say.
You don't believe me, no,
What's done is done,
so please don't make it worse with false sincerity.

You'll never know,
You'll never know.
You'll never know,
(Just confide in me)
You'll never know.
(This one time, tonight)

I simply know no other way,
To verify to overstate just how bad.
I want you, I want you, I want you,
You know, one, two, three, four, five.
Times I compromised,
Just to have you, to hold you, control you.

You were never so bold as when you lost control,
You were taking it all and giving none in return.
That's 'cause you sell yourself short, you sell yourself short,
Everytime you go for it.

Your words seemed so sincere,
But your actions, no they never were.
They never were, no,
They never were, no.


5.Jeopardy Of Contentment

basically, this is an apology.
i still know what's best for both of us, kid.
we've been through enough.
there's nothing left to prove.
the feeling's mutual, but not exclusive.

alibis are only excuses -
allowances for us to abuse the truth.
the truth is i'm done with them.
you may not ever hear them again.

and still they only fulfill so much until
we have to fess up and face the facts
the best we can or live with the consequence...
the resulting accident.

our patience is fading.
consider this courtesy,
if not somewhat evasive underneath.
but even if it just thrills my soul,
or it burns another hole,
i've got to let it go
before we can't.
so long.
you've got to believe there's something better out there,
someone better out there for you than me.

so, there you left me standing
to fend for myself however.
but i'm holding up,
i'm pulling through.
i'm not sure what else you expect me to do.
but i won't deny that i'm taking it hard...
i'm taking whatever's available to me.
you see, that's just the way i deal with grief.

since i left you here
in our destroyed machine,
i fear you've grown immune
to the difference between
whether you're holding on
or you're just holding out.
do me a favor, love.
let me go.
let me lose the courage tonight choose.

while your pride is numb,
while your face is still young,
while your hands are still clean,
just wash yourself of me


6.Almost Always Never

It's something, occasionally it subsides to nothings right there
in front of your eyes.
I'd show you but it never happens when you want it to.

Its easy when its not expected just drop over,
I'm sure you gunna be surprised to find that It's right there in
front of your eyes.

Almost, always, never make the grade.
Stupid lesson learned and statement made, What were you
expecting.

Ok. I lied its not like we've been wasting time.
Besides it's something we all need in our lives.
Ain't it something how thats the thing we can't disguise.

A selfish act of trickery betrayed, only meant to turn your eyes
away,
From everything you've been so absorbed in these days.
I was only hoping maybe we could get away,
But hey

How could I ever know what was on your mind?
How could I ever know what was on your mind?

I thought I'd made it easy on you,
That answers just befell you.
But if you're feeling bad,
If you want it bad.
But if you're feeling bad,
If you want it bad.

Now you see, you've made it hard on me. Tables turned and worry
free.
It's so hard to disagree,

Desperate measures hastily decay,
When you choose to turn your eyes away .
From everything you've been so absorbed in these days,
I was only hoping maybe we could get away.


7.Hopelist

I hope if I happen to go,
That everything goes the way that you planned it.
I know when I'm not around,
It'll probably seem a little less panicked.
If they said that I could stick around,
Be by your side and pull you down.
I am afraid I'd make a choice that neither of us could take down
again.

I didn't ever want,
I never thought I'd be,
In a situation that defies contingency.
I didn't ever need,
I never thought I'd see,
The day when I would share the straits of codependency.
Whoever said if you want to play the game,
You've got to pay the price gave sage advice.

I hope,
That maybe you know.
That you're not alone in feeling defenseless.
You know,
when I'm not around.
It'll probably seem a little less senseless.
But if we could try,
To entertain,
The reasons why
We feel the same.
I am afraid we'd make a choice,
That neither of us could take down.


8.Judas

Judas is in charge,
So please direct your questions that direction with regards,
To disregard.

Mines a lowly fate to feign,
And its to late to fall in love again.

Get in line, get in line,
You'll nerve have to wait as long as you're inclined to,
So they say.

Cheer Up! Cheer Up!
Cheer Up! Cheer Up!

Even though you've got a lot of nerve,
You'll end up with that which you deserve.
Fill your walls with mediocre plaques.

So sell your soul while it is still intact.

Judas is in charge,
We trust in his discretion first impressions leave indentions.
In your heart,
So just leave the way you came.
It's to late to fall in love again.

Valentine, Valentine,
You'll never have to bleed with those lifeless vital signs.
So they say. (So they say)

Give Up! Give Up!
Give Up! Give Up!


9.Trying To Never Catch Up

It isn't how you feel,
It's sure not how you see it,
But everything you once decided,
Now has been defeated.
And even if you tried, you would be denied.

If you don't say a word,
If you don't bat an eye:
Nothing else could be more pleasing.
I need you not to cry.
I promise you I'll be that someone that you see.

We all get weary sometimes,
Helpless and all shock up inside
We make the best, we move on.
We hope the rest can, too.
I know its tough to heed these apologies,
But for now though I've got to leave you behind.


10.Curtains!

It's been two weeks now since the shit was cut away.
Now there's nothing to the two of you.
What was meaningful, it drove itself away,
and you're off into another phase of you.

With silver lining stripped away,
Things have no choice but to fall.
You'd knock them over, anyways.
And all those things you would've said hurt ten times worst this
far gone,
It's best you leave them alone again.

You wanted to end the scene the last ones to go out.
Then you'd always be,
etched in memories.
But, you divvied up and decided,
Four or five years ago,
This would not be the way it ends.

Oh, it made so much sense,
And you'd always rush to its defense.
If it ever came down one and the same,
how could you ever let it go.

This could be,
Quite a change for you or me.
But, why couldn't it be someone else, Today?

It just doesn't make sense anymore, why You would not cut this
cord.
This isn't worth it anyways.
Get out! Get out! There's no way to save things, now.
This could just be what you need.


11.Sweet Lady

Hey sweet lady, where are you running so fast?
Maybe if you slowed down then we could make this last
But you're running at a hundred miles
Flashing that million-dollar smile
And everybody turns to stone when they see that you're alone

Hey sweet lady, don't you recognize me?
Haven't you seen me running through your dreams?
I've got everything you want
And nothing left to flaunt
So just give me a chance or at least a second glance
Because I think I love you, but I can't help thinking that you
love somebody but me

It seems that lately you've been avoiding me
Well, I'm going to sit right here until you finally see
I've got everything you want
And nothing left to flaunt
So just give me a chance or at least a second glance
Because I think I love you, but I can't help thinking that you
love somebody but me


12.Bldg. A Boat From The Boards In Your Eye

If you come away, but you can't get there.
You shouldn't worry, at least not to much. If you get stuck
maybe when you're halfway,
If you just wait there, we'll pick you up.

No need to be contrite, I know we've made some mistakes.
It's such a pity to think of it that way.
But if you insist, we can just abandon,
So we'll have twice as much for us to commiserate.

We can't help but be proud,
We're nobody's now. Nobodies now.

So, you sold me down the river just like you told me you would.
So, don't make me feel this way,
Because you know we won't be satisfied until we've reached the
end.
The same place that it begins.

We can't help but believe,
There's more left to see.
But not to be found,
The sooner that you can figure this out We can be down.
But until then, I guess that I'll see you around.
Weekends, three times a year.

No matter what you say,
The same person you'll remain.
That;ll be your saving grace,
Take solace in that I.
Realized that all the while,
That the speck was in my eye.

And it's such a shame,
It's coming unwound.
Wnd the sooner that you can figure this out,
We can be down.
But until then,
I guess that I'll see you around.
