The End of Never

You lied to me repeatedly
And broke my heart
Robbed me of my dignity
And tore my life apart
Now you want in from the cold
So you can bask in the afterglow
Of this love you think you have tamed
Do you think I'm that insane

Maybe by the end of never
I'll start forgiving you
And then I might admit that I still care
But I don't know how long
never is and unless you do
Never will never be through

I had to watch you
Always dressed to kill
Double-checking the mirror
Getting ready for my funeral
If you think that you can come back
My front door here ends your track
'Cause this time I've overbled
Turning all the green lights into red

(chorus)

Call me a million times on the telephone
Keep on dialing
'Cause nobody's home
Or I'm not alone

 

Abandon

Maybe I was never the one
Who came along
And tried to set you free
Maybe you were holding on
To a dream long gone
But babe, it wasn't me

How can we speak of forever
When we can't make it through today
Before we both become undone
Something's got to give way
Abandon

Maybe I was just naïve
To believe
You're all I'd ever need
Maybe you were hoping, too
All my words were true
And I would never leave

But I can't see the future
When I'm looking at you
Or maybe I'm just not strong enough
To see us through
Abandon

Sometimes we expect too much
That we're willing to give up
Things we have
For the things we want
And we don't always know what we want

Maybe I tried too hard
To play my part
When lying in your arms
Maybe you held me too tight
Too many nights
Though you meant no harm

But you can't be the reason
That I keep deceiving myself
When I've known all along
I should be somewhere else
Abandon

Angels Called My Name

I could've sworn I heard angels
Late that night
Whispering wisdom of the ages
By the glowing fireplace light
They asked me to join them
In their laughter
Live out all my dreams
Live happily ever after

But something made me stay
I can't explain
Why I doused the flame
When the angels called my name

I thought I heard those voices
Again the other night
A few from my past
Made me feel warm inside
Though I still love them
I declined to go
If higher life awaits me
I guess I'm too young to know

Something makes me stay
I can't explain
Why I remain
When the angels call my name

I was out driving my car
Late last night
Chasing down shadows
And nearing the speed of light
When I heard those angels
Louder than before
My life flashed before me
As the brakes hit the floor

Something made me stay
I can't explain
But my life's not the same
Since the angels called my name

Anywhere

I 'd jump a train
Or hop on a plane
To get me anywhere from here
Use my feet
Or crawl on my knees
To get me anywhere from here

Anywhere from here
That's where I'm going
Where I'll end up
Though there's no knowing
To hell and back
Man, I don't care
I just gotta be
Anywhere from here

I'd ride the wind
Or steal a Benz
To get me anywhere from here
Stowaway
In a cargo crate
To get me anywhere from here

Anywhere from here
That's where I'm going
Sails up high
Winds of change a-blowin'
To the ends of the world
I have no fear
I just wanna be
Anywhere but here

Yeah, I'd like you to come along
Cast all our burdens and run
Knowing we'll never have to
Come back here again

I'd hijack a bus
Do what I must
To get me anywhere from here
Dress in black
Ride on camel back
To get me anywhere from here

(chorus)
