I heard your invitation
So I got up to bat
And I swung real hard
I think I knock up the lights
When I looked back
Cause you had no idea
Where I was coming from
I think I heard your
shell break (I'm leaving)
And I could feel
the pain (I'm leaving you)
I had the nerve
To put up a fight when no one
else could reach inside to you

Verse 1
this bridge is falling down
and just like it was before
its bad, and I made it recur
crossed the bridge and
it caught my attention
an ocean diluting frustration
so I smashed it down in
search of contentment
I fell down and into the ocean
now I am wet, shivering wasted
and I recognize my degeneration
Chorus 1
I can see so clearly now
that I'm searching for simplicity
I can face the problem now
as I look into the mirror
I don't hate you
Verse 2
as a crutch when I am dependent
I reach out and it wont reject me
as a blanket when you need warmth
it surrounds me but it still feels cold

i can see so clearly now
when i look into your eyes
i don't hate you

18.) Paint It Black
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens every day
I look inside my self and see my heart is back
I see my red door , I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
If I look hard enough into the setting sun,
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted, painted black,
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black.
Yea!
