It's What I'm Thinking

I'm a failure at heart
but it seems I succeed
when my heart feels the need
to be helpful

it doesn't happen much
and as a result
it's a rare thing

did I see you today?
well if so I'd keep grace
cos I don't hold your face
in my memory

everybody looks the same
there's nothing else to blame
but my, but my memory

it's a craze no one knows
still I'm craving the days
when this town was alive
and amazing

and for once I'm on time
still I'm falling around
to the sights of this town
'til they find me

and you wouldn't call it fun
when all the things you've done
amount to the same thing

here's the news, I'm alive
but in habit of not taking chances
well that's what I'm finding

we could try with new rules
just accept only one thing
and that is that nothing
will change anything

you see it all the time
but now we've seen the last time
that's the main thing

take a look at yourself
in the mirror you'll find
you look weirder
the longer you stand there

just take a step away
at least for one day
and you'll be finding

just a shot in the dark
still a good enough aim
to take half of the blame
and be thankful

for everything you've got
I'd take another shot
in the, in the dark with you

is it deal or no deal?
well I try everyday
and I still have to say
that it's no deal

what time is it, 14?
well I'm ready when you are
as long as we both want the same thing

I'll put the candles out
I don't mean put them out
I mean, I mean get them burning

you look good, how'd you feel?
I feel good
but I knew that I would
from the moment I saw you

well thank you for your time
and for not wasting mine
that's a rare thing

there's a savior in me
yet I can't save myself
so good luck whoever else
believes in me

you can only blame yourself
I'm the savior in yourself
and not in me

you're the new kid in school
everybody looks at you
because of the fact
that you are new

someone throw the kid a crutch
I know it isn't much
but it's what I'm thinking
