Lit lyrics
Album: Atomic [2001]
| Something to Someone | |
|
"They say something I don't wanna hear
Ringing like a shotgun in my ear
But they don't know what I'm really aiming for
Gonna leave a mark on society
Faster and faster my whole situation
Falling apart, crossing my heart
And I hope to live
But something has to give
'Cuz I just wanna be something
I just wanna be someone
Someone who stands out in the crowd
Mother would be proud
Something to someone
These days getting shorter by the year
Ticking like a time bomb loud and clear
Faster and faster the whole situation's
Falling apart, straight from the heart
Then I sing my song
And I'll prove them wrong
I just want to be something
I just want to be someone
Someone who stands out in the crowd
Mother would be proud
Something to someone
Faster and faster my own situation
Rolling along, proving you wrong
And you can't believe
What you see when you're lookin' at me...
I just want to be something
I just want to be someone
Someone who stands out in the crowd
Mother would be proud
Some thing to someone
I just want to be something
I just want to be someone
Someone who stands out in the crowd
Mother would be proud
Something to someone
Something to someone
Something to someone"

| The Last Time Again | |
|
"I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Sick and tired of all the promises I've made to you
And I break to you
I know you think you've heard it all before
Something tells me that you think I'm stupid when I say to you
That what I say is true
Too much lying, too little trying
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
Well I don't wanna be redundant anymore
Skipping like a broken record you can play again
But I'll do it all again
Put it behind me, then you rewind me
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
Once again
I must have been
Trying to wash away the sin
'Cuz I wake up
Bathroom floor
I won't do this anymore
Starting tomorrow
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again
This time is gonna be the last time
The last time again"

| Lipstick and Bruises | |
|
Kiss me on the way up
Kick me when I fall down
Under the radar
Stick me in the lost and found
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down
This is what you always wanted
It’s what you asked for
This is what you always wanted
And now you want more
Now these are all your new friends
Baby you’re a rock star now
Runnin’ with the devil
Kiss me when the lights go down
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down
This is what you always wanted
It’s what you asked for
This is what you always wanted
And now you want more
Kiss me when the lights go down
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down
This is what you always wanted
It’s what you asked for
This is what you always wanted
And now you want more
Now you want more
Now you want more
It’s what you wanted
It’s what you needed
And now you want more

| Everything's Cool | |
|
i hit the city by 3
and the bottle by 4
I'm thinkin about the shit that I pulled the night before
and by the party at midnight
everything's cool again
cuz u'll be back with me then
u'll be back with me then
Im carryin' the weight ,the weight of the world
that doesnt wanna wait for me
it spins me all around
and then it spits me out
recycled like a Christmas tree
u pick me up when no one would
convince me baby its all good
we're doing it again
the way you always could
and now everything is understood
I never had a girl like this
i hit the city by 3
and the bottle by 4
Im thinkin about the shit
that I pulled the night before
and by the party at midnight
everything's cool again
cuz u'll be back with me then
and so walls are closing in
its closing time again
I see it thru my champagne glasses
terrifyin how the time is fallin down
at least we're sittin in first class
never wanna feel like this
i hit the city by 3
and the bottle by 4
Im thinkin about the shit
that I pulled the night before
and by the party at midnight
everything's cool again
cuz u'll be back with me then
Im carryin' the weight of the world
that doesnt wanna wait for me
Im carryin' the weight of the world
your carryin' me
I never had a girl like this
I hit the bottle by 6
and another cigarette
i've probably done things that I know I should regret
and by the party at midnight,
everything is cool again
cuz you'll be back with me then
you'll be back with me then
you'll be back with me then

| Happy in the Meantime | |
|
It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Lets have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime
I've gotta make up for losin' time
Cuz I've been spinnin' my wheels all night
And I can't wait
Can't hardly wait to see you
Things seem better off now
I think I'm better off now
[CHORUS:]
It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Lets have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime
I guess the rain's gonna follow me
Cuz it's been droppin' in minor D.
And I can't wait
Can't hardly wait to see if
Things are better off now
I think I'm better off now
[CHORUS]
Well save a little rain
And wash away the pain
I'll try and keep it clean
I'll show you what I mean
I don't wanna keep you holdin' on
Cuz in the morning I'll be gone
So long
[guitar solo]
[CHORUS x 2, "We're happy in the meantime" X3]

"Got a tattoo
Got it in colored in with blue
Cause it's a picture of your cold sad face
And now its true
We're probably better off apart
And we knew it from the start
But you never want to stop
Wanting me, wanting you
Get up
I think it's time for you to go
I don't know why you stay
Or what youre waiting for
I'll get by
As long as you want me
I'll be fine
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Got a new shirt
Trying to cover up the hurt
Cause I don't never wanna show you what you did
And now its done
We're so much better off in bed
But we're fucked up in the head
And we never wanna stop
Wanting more, such a whore
Get up and let me watch you dance some more
We both know why you came
And what you're looking for
I'll get by as long as you want me
I'll get by as long as you need me
I'll get by as long as you want me
As long as you leave me
Never wanna stop, never wanna stop
Never wanna stop, never wanna stop
I'll get by as long as you want me
I'll be fine as long as you need me
I'll get by as long as you need me
As long as you leave me"

| Sunny Weather | |
|
Well... I've got a hundred thousand watts
on a thousand dollar stereo
Surrounded by speakers but I'm hollow as hell
I've got a hundred sad songs
about the day that you walked out
and I'm feelin' so down
It's just a bad situation
I wish that I can say that ...
I dont care about the
sunny weather
Don't care about the sex when we're together
Don't care about nothin'
if you don't care
Why don't ya!
Well... I got a lot of good drugs
but I dont know how to use 'em
So I threw them in the trash
and now my dogs are high as hell
I got a hundred better reasons
why you ought to stick around
And i'll never back down
It's just a another situation
I can't control it now.
I dont care about the
sunny weather
Don't care about the sex when we're together
Don't care about nothin'
if you don't care
I'd give it all away for you
For just another day with you
What am I gonna do
I don't care about nothin' (nothin' nothin')
I don't care about nothin' (nothin' nothin')
I don't care about nothin'
if you don't care
Well I dont care about the
sunny weather
Don't care about the sex when we're together
Don't care about nothin'
if your not there
Well I dont care about the
sunny weather
Don't care and I wish I never met her
Don't care about nothin'
if you don't care

| Next Time Around | |
|
Well I'm dreaming about a Cadillac
And the girl that I used to have
But I know that I could never go back
To the day we took the photograph
That I'm holding in my hand
I can't believe I messed it up so bad
If I get another chance
I'd never waste it yeah
I swear I'll be a better man
And I'll tell you right now
I'll make it up next time around
Yeah!
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Next time around
Now I'm thinking about the good times
All the friends I used to know
And they always said they would have my back
But now I'm flying solo
All alone again I stand
I can't believe I messed it so bad
If I had another chance
I'm gonna make it up
I'll try and be a better man
And I'll tell you right now
I'll make it up next time around
Yeah!
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Next time around
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Next time around
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Next time around

| Slip | |
|
I shoulda called but it was late and you were sleeping, my dear
I would hate for you to hear what I was putting you through
I'm tryin' hard to be the man I know that you think I am
I'm really glad you weren't there but now I wish you were here
[BRIDGE:]
Cuz we're so wonderful
And so untouchable
And just when I thought it was under control
Everything just starts to...
The pillow burns I toss & turn from all of the things I say
You should've known better than to ever listen to me
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS:]
Slip
Right through my fingers
Finding it's way to the tips
Well I'll try and forget
But all that I taste is your lips
Cryin' & kissin' me
[guitar solo]
[BRIDGE 2:]
We're so wonderful
And so untouchable
You're the biggest part of me
We're so wonderful
And so untouchable
And just when I thought it was under control
Everything....
Everything....
[CHORUS X 2]

| She Comes | |
|
Common sense
Goes out the window like a cigarette
I take a hit again
When all her friends
They talk about me in a past tense
I take the hit again
[BRIDGE:]
She walks in in the middle of the night
Like we're good to go
All screwed up but it just feels right
And I don't wanna know where you go
Or how we went wrong
And when I think I can't go on
[CHORUS:]
She comes
And she comes
But when she goes she always takes away the best of me
She comes
And she comes
And when she's done I'm left with nothin' but the rest of me
Ignorance
My only explanation for this mess
I think about it when
We're on the fence
Between what is and what it should've been
I take the hit again
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
Whatever she does
I always come undone
[guitar solo]
[CHORUS]
Whatever she does
I always come undone
I always come undone

| Live for This | |

"Ive been falling apart at the seams
But its not as it seems
Broken pieces around at my feet
That I dance on
In my darkest day
In my darkest day, I can find you
We've come all this way
and I still running after it
Yeah
I, I, live for this
I, I, I'd trade it for nothing
I've been waiting for someone like you
To be waiting for me
This is more than I ever dreamed
and I dream on
I wish I could stay
I wish I could stay
Right beside you
We've come all this way
And I'm still looking after you
I, I, live for this
I, I, I'd trade it for nothing
In my darkest day
In my darkest day
I can find you
We've come all this way
And I'm still running after it
Yeah
I, I, live for this
I, I, I'd trade it for nothing
Yeah, I, I, live for this
I, I'd trade it for nothing
I, I live for this
I, I, I'd trade it for nothing"

| Over My Head | |
|
I'm in over my head
They wanna try and build me up
So they can tear me down
I wish that I could be back there
But I'm right here right now
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I've got to get away from here
And it couldn't be too soon
Cuz I see the stars are here with me
Like rockets to the moon
You take me everywhere that I've never been and
Show me the meaning of what life had to give and
I don't know what to say, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Lyin' in her bed
Somethin' she said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
