Thanks for the Help

So you probably have a point and I can't argue every side I'm just wondering why it's me in which you're choosing to confide Since that brick wall just behind you seems like it would do just fine And i'm sure it'd care much more than me Tell me whatcha wanna bet that if we brought this up to them They would either just ignore it, say you're right or take offense? Because as the one that listens to your made up arguments I think I'll begin to charge a fee When the waitress gets your order wrong at some odd restaurant Do you ask her to correct it and then go get what you want? Or is it more satisfactory for you to complain a lot? Well, not tipping her would help you save Is this really all an effort to create a little storm Something interesting to keep yourself from ever feeling bored? Cos the thing I just can't figure out is who all this is for I guess I can't stop you anyway

I've never seen anyone finer I've never known someone so true I've yet to meet anyone kinder If you met him you'd agree too Not one complaint from his lips can be heard Yet none more humble are found So keep me far from the water Unless you wish for me to drown I've not met another so loyal I've never touched someone so strong They say that he's wealthier than royals And perfectly tuned in a song No one he's met has an unkindly word He's simply swell all around So keep me far from the water Unless you wish for me to drown I've not met a man near as charming Most every girl sees him and swoons They say that he stops global warming Or at the least, he's trying to He is the most perfect person on earth Ever to walk on the ground So keep me far from the water If I see my reflection, I'll drown If I see my reflection, I'll drown If I see my reflection, I'll drown

You know what's weird? That day to day Nothing really seems to change but Pretty soon everything's different You go about your life but one day You realize you're not the same Person you used to be then Time catches up with you And I'm trying my best to Everyone around me now is fleeting Everyone is finding what they're needing Everyone around me now is falling To the ground For no one that's falling is around So thank heaven for small favors I know I will sure need them later Time catches up with you And I wish that I could too Everyone around me now is fleeting Everyone is finding what they're needing Everyone around me now is falling To the ground For no one that's falling is around

A previous lifetime, I know I was herding sheep They roamed and I watched them lay down in a field of wheat I kept an order and a sheep directory For when I'd need some food to eat I'd take a sheep for wool and meat in A previous lifetime, I know I was herding sheep But one day I lost them, I know I'm ashamed to say I looked out my window, and they had all gone away I questioned to the sky why they would disobey And then I heard a furious word On how I shirked my gentle herd And so I had lost them, ashamed am I to this day I learned they'd been scattered across the horizon land Too far, were they displaced, for safety beneath my hand So they were someone else's duty to command He'd judge between the fat and lean And who would need their trotters cleaned So they had been scattered across the horizon land I quavered in worry, without me they'd surely die But they had been rescued, all under a loving eye If i had known this, I'd have surely been surprised To see the sheep i knew as weak Receiving wheat instead of me In a previous lifetime, a shepherd I played to die

It's getting easier to change the past But harder to influence the future It's getting easier to know of a place But somehow it's harder to get there It's getting easier to see the stars But harder to see the constellations So while it's easier to find the facts It's harder to remember It's getting easier to have contact But now harder not to need it It's getting easier to create a foe But harder to truly defeat it It's getting easier to hear the truth But harder to discern the lies So while it's easier to know what's good It's harder to repeat it It's getting easier to say hello But harder to tell someone goodbye It's getting easier to see what we want But harder to remain satisfied It's getting easier to speak your mind But harder to understand it And though it's easier to work a job It's harder to get by

I asked spring if she was ready for summer to arrive She folded her arms and closed her eyes I inquired how fun she thought summer was to be She said, I just hope she plays with me Out goes the young, in comes the old Out goes the old, in comes the new I asked summer how she felt about autumn She said, why would I even care if she comes? She doesn't understand how I think or who I am And I highly doubt she ever can Out goes the young, in comes the old Out goes the old, in comes the new I asked autumn how she felt about winter's approach She said, I do all I can, you know She drives me wild sometimes, but I love her, she's fine And I know it's hard to change her mind Out goes the young, in comes the old Out goes the old, in comes the new I asked winter how she felt about spring taking her place She simply massaged her wrinkled face She told me, there are days where you think it all has changed Then you realize it's always been that way Out goes the young, in comes the old Out goes the old, in comes the new

I see your eyes reflect the morning light And shine as blue as the sea But honey, if you don't see the same in mine Well, you can know, but don't tell me I hear your voice as it's echoing so bright Call to the birds in the trees But darling, if you don't hear the same in mine Well, you can know, but don't tell me I don't wanna know I don't wanna know I don't wanna know a thing at all I feel your hand long after a goodbye Warm me in a winter breeze But baby, if you don't feel the same of mine Well, you can know, but don't tell me Well, you can know, but don't tell me Well, you can know, but don't tell me

Many men have come to me Small and weak, in dire need of truth You don't believe in that, do you? So I can't give you what you need me to I display a rainbow as Reminder of a promise passed to all Whenever raindrops should fall But I can't answer if you never call See you going by yourself Rarely reaching out for help I know You lose the meaning underneath the snow Without your asking then I cannot show Those like you choose to be blind Struggle finding peace of mind some days I made your fleeting feelings often sway Without my hand, the joy will never stay

I was born here in the summer And I started in the fall But it won't be that much longer I'll be at your beck and call For the winds they're blowing fill my head With knowledge they call true And I'm listening to them all instead Of listening to you Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University Near a quarter of a century You've always held my hand But'll soon be unnecessary If all goes on to plan Cos I'll take all that they give me And apply it to the world And I'll grow myself a family Once I find myself a girl Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University And I'm nervous if I do admit That part of me is true But I know that I must never quit Cos I won't move in with you Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University Oh, SuzAnna, don't you cry for me When I leave dear Carolina and the University

He spent most his lifetime as a lineman Working with his hands until they bled Every day for hours, he would check the small town's power Till his wife would watch him walk to bed Years went by and he was soon retired Never did complain nor ever whine And I'm not surprised to find out, when death came to turn his light out, he said Don't worry about me, I'll be fine Then there was the doctor of obstetrics Pressured and expecting much to do He quickly found a good wife and he made the neighborhood life Everybody else had told him to Decades of influenced thought increasing Yet so much the same remains in time Through imminent divorce and the social script discourse he said Don't worry about me, I'll be fine So I guess that brings us to the present Brought upon the shores surrounded by The previous generations' Silly little expectations, I'll say Don't worry about me, I'll be fine We're screaming at injustice But nobody seems to trust us, I'll say Don't worry about me, I'll be fine So when we talk about when We won't ever buy a house, then I'll say Don't worry about me, I'll be fine

Where have all the stars gone Falling from the sky they're in? Where have all the stars gone? Dear little girl of mine Can you see the streetlights On the hilltop shimmering? Can you see the streetlights Making the day from night? Have you seen the buildings? Mighty boxes towering Have you seen the buildings Taking away the sky? Where have all the stars gone? Dear little girl of mine Can you hear the cars, dear As they're a-passing by? Have you seen the clouds, dear Miles a-high and wide Where have all the stars gone? Dear little girl of mine
