And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

String of lies, we always compromise for you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies, we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

String of lies, we always compromise for you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies, we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

String of lies, we always compromise for you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies, we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

"Another Second Time Around"

Happy, smilin', cryin,
Outburst to my past.
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
And now I find myself a-tuggin' at your dress.
The fun of holdin' you down, or seein' you frown, is never gonna pass.

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
All our postcards full of things I won't forget,

And now it's comin' down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.

Couldn't help myself,
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
It was an awkward time,

I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.

And I didn't know exactly what to say,
'Bout the things you saw me do my evil way.
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed,
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.
Another second time around
Another second time around

"Stop The World"

You need someone to hold you
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do

Here I go

Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it

Cuz the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
And they ain't for wishin', ooh
They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do

Here I go

Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

Am I too young for the world?
I'm not too young for the world
And I can't change for the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
'Cause I don't care for the world
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
I don't make sense to the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
[fade out...]

"Already There"

I look outside my window,e verything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock
I sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up, my friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above, wonder when the heavens will subside
