I'm in love for the third time this year
I'm in love for the third time this year
Don't know how
Don't know why
I'm looking for a rock
So I can stop  and lay my cares

I'm in pieces for the third time this year
I'm in pieces for the third time this year
Don't know how
Don't know why
I'm looking for a rock
So I can stop and lay my cares

I must have been dreaming but it can't be as bad as that
I could have sworn that you were wearing my hat
Could be the way that you're just moving your arms
Pushing all those buttons on the watchout alarm

They say when you spend too much time with someone else
whose laugh is who becomes a matter of doubt
Everytime I jump into the inner pool
You turn around and say don't be such a fool

You know, some days just start off
You don't know where they're gonna end
What seems like the every day
Takes a sharp bend

Phone call in the dead of night
Friend out on a limb
Can't keep the outside out
And the skin is gonna all fall in

I need to talk to you
I need to hear your voice
Things are coming to a head
I've got no choice

I've travelled the east, I've travelled the west
I've been down to Richmond I've tasted defeat
And sometimes I'm caught just in between frames
Of a movie that started and still got no name

I've been down in the valley up on the hill
Seen the dark forest where I maybe still
I've gathered a story or two on the way
But what good is an ending when you can't run away

When I look at the picture on the wall
I can't believe I saw you at all
So quick and yet so far
Drizzle landing on a cold white car

As you waved and we went away
I felt a sadness hold the day
And a rainbow hung the sky with joy
You're just a one off wild free spirit boy

You've got to roll my penny roll
You've got to roll my penny roll
You've got to roll my penny, roll my penny, roll, roll

Smoke drifts past my window
From a fire somewhere else
Find I talk to myself a lot these days
And I'm not sure that I hear
I've missed something that should have been clear
And the perfect landing
Will have to wait

Trouble on the hillside, it's a fait de compli
What is left after the hope is gone
I never cast around for the mystery love
Never cared for the cul de sac
And everybody sometimes throws in their hand for a better one

Sometimes the ride takes too long
Sometimes we don't stop enough
The hills look so bare
When the evening shadows sprint across the land

There's nothing like a smile in your heart
With the last love letter in your hand
Could be the town I need is just up ahead
Looking forward to a shower and a comfortable bed

There's a move in my mind and a hole in my stomach
Where the apprehension all runs out

I've put you in a draw
Folded up and filed
Sweeping up your last smiles
Into a tidy heap

Putting up screens to hide behind
When your reality approaches

And I'm, staying away from corners
Staying away from corners
Staying away from corners

Side stepped tears and jumped emotions
I wait for the black hole
of emptiness
making love to my back

No questions asked, no quarter given that love was in danger
Heard the one about the man who always smiled, never fired a shot in anger
And in a fine display of luck, he calls up a number
Walks through the door, collects the prize, and she closes it behind her

I've seen that sketch
Two people cut the plastic between them
Trying to show how tangled words could strangle
Left with the setting sun on the souls of the feet, on the window sill
How come beauty got held to ransom, by the condor and Aslan

Wasn't long before my foot steps sank in the cold
Just two minutes from my front door
Face in the wind and a story throughout
I thought my idea would sell
The one with no roads
on the roundabout

Look around over my shoulder
Never seen such beauty before
No sound no clue
The switch is somewhere out there in the blue
Blue forever
I'll be walking blue

It's just the inside of pain
It's just the inside of pain
It's just the insdie of pain
