It's starting to dawn on me: I'm missing you
more than I ought to be
I'm staring at old frontispiece pictures
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE

This beautiful day I'll brace the broken page with
pieces that I'm picking up
But little did I know that the stories
weren't where I left them off

Said she's gone without me
Said she, we're not meant to be

I used to make a wish before the blazes wake in January sky
They were composed of hopes and coated in reproach (keeps the powder dry)
It started to rain on me: I missed out
on opportunities
And out of all the notes I've burned this one just
keeps on coming back to me

All of these thoughts of you
(Oh she can't be...is she...Please be mistaken...)
Burning these thoughts of you
(Is she taken?)

And I want to be a specter than be a lonely spectator
so I can sing a requiem for me and you
(Said she's gone without me)
The last bomb has blown and I'm still counting past the hour
until dawn (until dawn)
no sleep (no sleep)
I won't be dreaming of (I won't be dreaming of what)
dreams of what life might've have been
could've been
should've been

Burning these thoughts of you
(Oh she can't be...is she...Please be mistaken...)
Calls back these thoughts of you
(Is she taken?)

The last page was thown, and yet still I'm not any closer to closure
How do I go on when you belong to someone else?
(Can't go on it's clearly in the endgame)
Nothing's quite as final as being married and expecting
(Final as when married and expecting)
So I want to be a ghost than spend afterlife in heaven

I woke up today, feeling weary, feeling gray
I struggle to pass underneath the sunrays
The latency overcomes me like a disturbing trend
Riding the bus, fast approaching a dead end

What I wouldn't give to be there again
to feel the beach stains beneath the sands -- of T&T

We met to play mas and waved our rags on our way to a fete
And limed at the Bight, reminisce it was last night:
"It's bad luck to go all this way without getting your feet wet"
"(As long as you like) swim, just don't let the sharks bite"

We're green on J'Ouvert and jumped with the pan
When things got rowdy, you take my hand

No one knows me the way you know me
Because every time that you look at me
I realize that my soul is free

And every time you look at me
Look in these eyes, my soul is free
Because every time you look at me
I realize that my soul is free

(So) I won't cover for why I don't wanna hang anymore
All that we have said and implored were for naught and we're back to where we were before

So now that we acknowledge where we stand:
we're too remote in two separate lands
We'll burn away the empty vows so much we clouded our days withal
As much as I will miss you dearly so,
we're too involved in two separate worlds
We'll throw away the promises so long we messed our brains withal

The tether line is going
far beyond the point of breaking
me
and at that extent it was
sufficient
for me to see that all the time we spent...

spinning...
around the bend...
is making us happy at my expense.
(It made no sense.)

So I'm not gonna lie (as I look in your eyes) anymore:
This humbled piece of pie in the sky's all but crumbled and I'm imbibing more and more

I don't want to be alone,
that's why I waited for so long

I don't like pictures because they don't move
I like art, though, because they don't need to
It's sorta odd when you look at it
All these years I haven't changed a bit
Scratched the surface, no harm to the core
I'd like to come, but am I too sure?
I could've had her, I waited too long
All I know is all I thought was wrong

(Because) It took me 5 years to realize
-- You're momentarily memorialized
-- Across the world is a million miles
-- Used to be a daily wish for me to die
-- That without you I could stand myself

Robbie Ganzon, yeah, she was pretty
I could've gone, yeah, all the way!
But I just looked and stared endlessly
She's just a painting of a red rose

Sitting at the edge of my bed
I felt a sudden draft
Plastered posters on my wall
Gobbles up the dull blue paint
And it sums up to a misconception
All is lost in my confession
Tears would break, yeah, with no reason
You haunt me like it's an obsession

It took me 5 years to realize
-- She's just a painting of a red rose
-- I could've gone, yeah, all the way
-- She's just a painting of a red rose

You know (you know), you know I love you
I know (I know), I know I care
But all (but all), but all these yearnings
are more than I can bear

While I go on with hiding
these precious notes -- I'm burning
up inside full of grief
when I sow what I can reap
All for the sake of friendship

You know, I wonder how much longer I can keep this up
You know where I stand, but I can't take it
You know the best things are the ones we can't think about
That's why I can't give up right now

I thought (I thought), I thought I loved you
Distraught (distraught), I ought to skip town
I don't (I don't) don't want to want you
so why do I still hang around?

While I go on withholding:
repress you through red herrings
From the depths of my sleeve
I regret that I deceive
All for the sake of friendship

While I go on with hiding
these precious notes -- I'm burning up
...but I won't take this lying down
All for the sake of friendship

That's why I can't give up right now

Flipping with my finger,
I'm watching tv
Surfing with the lights on,
my watch tells
it's 3 o'clock
It's way past midnight
Now I'll get some sleep
-- Into my bed I'll slip into my jammies, wishing goodnight

The way I have been
these past couple days
I owe myself just so much
so far from catching up that I'll never die
Chameleon pride
It slumbers in me
I am your number one fan
You are my identity

All I'm really good at
is mimicking you
You don't know me, but I know you
You know it's
all because of you
I'd like to change now
but my shadow is gone
-- I used to say we're inseparable forever; we're always one

Flipping with my finger,
I'm watching tv
Surfing with the lights on,
my watch tells
it's 3 o'clock
I'd like to change now
but my shadow is gone
-- I used to say we're inseparable forever; we're always one

The way I have been
these past couple days
It's been a habit of mine:
I'll be a charlatan to get what I want
And even when there's
nothing to imitate
I'll just slip into my dreams
to see how much of my surreal mind can take
The way I have been
these past couple days
I owe myself just so much
so far from catching up that I'll never die
Chameleon pride
It slumbers in me
I am your number one fan
You are my identity

     My heart is fleeting fast for I'm meeting somebody like you today.  The note, it said, "Set out for my silhouette at tonight's soiree."

     So here I go, feeling irresolute (because when you're young, there's nothing else to do).  So I look forward, for tonight's debut, to finally hear you when I'm next to you.

     I arrived at the party around 11:15 and hoped that you would soon appear.  Then there you are, the "stubborn star", amidst the awkwardness I drew near.

     So I pursued despite my feelings of: "...this attitude would turn most people off..."  I'm thinking, "Dude, what am I so afraid of?" when finally, from this place, you sprinted off.

     (And so I) missed the chance to get this feeling off my chest, caught an ebb and caught up in a second guess, clutch the wave before it would dissipate, hope someday you'd notice it when I say, "Discard your cloak and let it float away toward this boat," and I'd recover til the day when my "Why?"s will stand a chance to her "I dunno."s

     Lost and never found again: "Where or when did she go?" Now I have is this song to mend because now I am adrift from the stars that she's holding...the stars she's folding...the stars are FALLING!!!

Ang buhay ko ay napakahirap, ikaw ay hinahanap sa buong mundo

As I step to the edge of a chasm,
I'm spreading out the wings of an airplane
Until it gets across and conveyed
these words will be an anthem:

Nasaan ka ba?
Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay
Nasaan ka ba?
Sumpa'ng langit dahil sa 'yo

Eleven years since I've set sail,
and so far it's to no avail,
Eleven words, yeah, I will hold on
even though you might've moved on

I will sacrifice the best of times
for the times we have spent...
And if you read between the lines
you'll hear an echo of my lament:

Nguni't, kung ika'y makuha
Tunay ba'ng mahal pa kita?
Ang loob ko ngayon ay walang kapayapaan
Hanggang ikaw ay makita
Nasaan ka ba?

Boys and girls across the world I think I'm gonna get wasted!

I always do my work
and I'm always on time
I've never stolen anything,
I've never told a lie

I'm a good kid
and I'll never break the law,
But if I find a cool store
that would sell me alcohol

I'll get lit!! I'll get lit!!
-- I'll walk down to the lake and get lit!!

You're the coolest girl
that I've ever seen
Except for the one
in my porno magazine

I just want a girl
that I can figure out
But if I'm with my friends
and I hear her start to shout

We'll get lit!! We'll get lit!!
-- We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!

Boys and girls across the world I think I'm gonna get wasted

We'll get lit!! We'll get lit!!
-- We'll walk down to the lake and get lit!!
-- We'll walk down to the lake and get lit!!
-- We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!

We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!
We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!
