I've got a few cool new ideas
But I don't know who to run 'em by
Cuz if true love is life's appeal
Then they won't keep me satisfied
Still I go on and on about everything
Hoping this time she'll listen to me
And if she don't care at least I tried
But that won't keep me satisfied
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
I've got the world to lose
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
Well, you're just, yeah, you're just what I want
But I better get a clue cuz happy never makes the news
I've been told to find joy in the little things
Like curse words & nursery rhymes
But if that mocking bird don't sing
Then who's gonna keep me satisfied?
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
I've got the world to lose
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
Well, you're just, yeah, you're just what I want
But I better get a clue cuz happy never makes the news
Now, I might make the most of a few opportunities
Then stay home bored the rest of the time
And oh, who knows? I might sell out and live on disability
Then all the girls'll say
"Get dressed Jeoff! You know you're fine!"
Oh, I hate to contradict you ladies
But I've been laying sick in bed
From mosquitos and spider-bites
And truth be told, I think I'm better off dead
Than keeping on unsatisfied
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
I've got the world to lose
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I want
Well, you're just, yeah, you're just what I want
But I better get a clue cuz happy never made the news
I've got to adjust to adjust what I want
Adjust, to adjust what I need
Well, you're just, yeah, you're just what I want
But I better get a clue cuz happy never makes the news

Girl, I know you can’t understand what it is I’m feelin'
Cuz if you could you wouldn’t make me feel this way
Still, you’ve given me enough to keep me believin’
That I’m not crazy
Now, I want to say that one day things’ll get easy
But the truth is you just having too much fun
You’d do anything and everything to keep me guessin’
If I’m the only one
I know it’s just begun
Now I can’t stop checkin’ the phone
And making faces in the mirror alone
I’ll work a line for an hour or so
And I’m not crazy
Oooh, baby...
I can’t stop checkin’ the phone
I’m thinking maybe I’ll just leave it at home
Maybe then I’ll finally miss your call
No, I’m not crazy
Oooh, baby...
Sometimes I wish that I believed you were a heartless woman
Then I wouldn’t see your face in all my dreams
But instead, I’m left with a hopeless vision
And you making a fool of me
At least that’s how it seems
Because I can’t stop checkin’ the phone
And making faces in the mirror alone
I’ll work a line for an hour or so
And I’m not crazy
Oooh, baby...
I can’t stop checkin’ the phone
I’m thinking maybe I’ll just leave it at home
Maybe then I’ll finally miss your call
No, I’m not crazy
Oooh, baby...
Now, I know you can’t understand what it is I’m feelin'
But I’d be alright if you’d just look inside my heart
Girl, you know what I’d give for your affection
And that’s the hardest part
Girl, you’re holding all the cards
Now, can’t stop checkin’ the phone
And making faces in the mirror alone
I’ll work a line for an hour or so
And I’m not crazy
Oooh, baby...
I can’t stop checkin’ the phone
I’m thinking maybe I’ll just leave it at home
Maybe then I’ll finally miss your call
No, I’m not crazy
Please believe me, baby
(De de yeh)

One of Your Kind
05:14

I want to stare into the sun
Thinking maybe if I’m blinded I’d relieve my tired eyes
Or try ecstasy for fun
Maybe losing all my sanity’s a blessing in disguise
I wanna pick up the phone
And start dialing random numbers until I connect to somebody
And that’s the way I’ll know
That they’ve got something they’re supposed to tell me
Oh, I’m tired of all that shit
I’ve been wasting away waiting for a different life
I’m afraid I’ll never be one of your kind
So, teach me how to disengage
Well, if it’s up to me, I’d rather be one of your kind
But it’s a wish
No, I’d never ask for this
I can’t just decide to let go
And no, faith isn’t a reason
I can’t base my life on something I can’t know
So, I’ll stick with this ambivalence til it’s my time to go
So, does it really even matter
Whether I know I’m right or not?
It doesn’t really even matter
You do the best you can with what you got
And if it’s a matter of conscience
Then I’m where I’m supposed to be
You listen up, if God is love, and he cares so much,
Then why are you scared for me?
I’m afraid I’ll never be one of your kind
So, teach me how to disengage
Well, if it’s up to me, I’d rather be one of your kind
But it’s not. And that changes everything
Is it best I be free of you?
Cuz it’s tearing me apart
I want to whisk myself away
To the days that I found comfort in imaginary friends
Things were simpler that way
Who’d have thought they’d leave me in the end?
I’m afraid I’ll never be one of your kind
So, teach me how to disengage
Well, if it’s up to me, I’d rather be one of your kind
But it’s not. And that changes everything

Oh, I Just Might
02:11

(Oh, I just might)
I might live by the letter
(Oh, I just might)
I might change for the better
(Oh, I just might)
I might say a little prayer
(I just might)
And then live for forever
(Oh, I just might)
I might lose everything that I'm betting
(Oh, I just might)
And even though I'm a reasonable guy
(Oh, I just might)
I might miss my chance to make it all make sense, how upsetting
(I just might)
Adds appeal to forgetting

Know It All

I believe that I’m right where I’m supposed to be
There’s not a doubt in my mind
Whether my life’s laggin’ behind
Cuz I’ve been seizing the day
And when the seasons change I’ll still be singing strong
And that’s the way I know I’m right where I belong
I don’t have to know that I know that I know it all
I’m okay with the way things went today
Cuz hope is still in sight
And closer than yesterday
But I’ll be dreaming tonight
Of what it’ll feel like when I can finally take my time
And I can just close my eyes without a care about my life
Cuz I worry sometimes that it’ll go to waste
But every day I stay the same makes me wonder if I care at all
But I’m afraid to make a change
It’s hard for me to say I don’t know it all
Won’t someone tell me if I become that bitter friend
Who sleeps beside himself at night and hates being alone
Yet still needs a reason for leaving his home sweet home
And every day I stay the same makes me wonder if I care at all
But I’m afraid to make a change
It’s not like me to say...
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Now, is this the bliss I’ve been missing?
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la
It’s hard for me to say I don’t know it all

I Can't Leave You
04:53

Make believe you're not alone or make amends
With people that you used to trust
Or make some new friends
And maybe you won't think of me
You won't fall apart
At least you won't see me leave again
Or have to mend a broken heart
But maybe it's too late
So, just forget me and I won't let you down
Cuz when I'm not around I can't leave you
I used to dream with innocence before I let you go
There were things in life worth living for
And you were mine, but not anymore
So, now I dream of a different life
And maybe a new name
But girl, I dream up a lot of things
Doesn't mean things are gonna change
So, just forget me and I won't let you down
Cuz when I'm not around I can't leave you
(You'll see clearly)
Just keep moving on
Cuz baby, when I'm gone I can't leave you
But maybe it's too late
Cuz I've tried at giving up
Don't forget me, don't leave me alone
Cuz I still need you
(Just forget me)
And I won't let you down
Cuz when I'm not around I can't leave you
(You'll see clearly)
Just keep moving on
But baby, when I'm gone I still need you
But I can't leave you
Not anymore

Begging for Change
05:36

Change my mind or tell me that you love me
And I can try to love you back and not live a lie
See, I have been broken down
But I know you can see all the best in me
So, what am I now?
I never wanted to be alone like this
I never stopped to look for all the love that I missed
I just threw it all away
So, now I'm begging for change
Wish I could let my guard down
But it kills me every time
So, I'm free to live my reckless life
Unless you change my mind
Could you change my mind?
I never wanted to be alone like this
I never stopped to look for all the love that I missed
I just threw it all away
So, now I'm begging for change
You're more to me than life
You're more to me than hope or faith
Cuz you're keeping me alive
And it's killing me inside to stay away
I never wanted to be alone like this
I never stopped to look for all the love that I missed
I just threw it all away
I never wanted to be alone like this
I never stopped to think about all the love I dismissed
As just another masquerade
So, now I'm begging for change
Change my mind
Bring me back
