(Please Welcome My Favorite Band, Counting Crows)

Hey,
We're Going To Start Off With Just Dave And I.

*Intro*

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog,
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white,
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view,
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right,

Well I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again, Where?
I don't know.
But Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying,
Why? I don't know.

Around here, we always stand up straight
Around here, something radiates.

Well Maria came from Nashville, with a suitcase in her hand,
Says she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis,
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land,
Just like she's walking on a wire, in the circus,
And she parks her car outside of my house,
Takes, all her clothes off
Says she's close to understanding jesus
She knows she's more than just a little, you know, misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal, well I have trouble acting normal.

Around here, we're carving out are names,
Around here, we all look the same
See around here, we talk just like lions, and then, we sacrafice just like lambs
And Around here look, she's slipping through my hands.

Ahhh, ahhhhh
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out, out, out, out, out of this lightening dream
I said momma's little baby, better get herself in, out of the lightening

She says, it's only in my head
She says, shhh, I know, I know it's only in my head

Theres a girl on a car in the parking lot, she says,
Man you should try to take a shot, can't you see my walls are crumbling,
She looks up at the building, she says, I'm thinking of jumping,
She says, I'm sick and tired of life,
Well everybodys tired of something

Well Around here, she's always on my mind,
And around here, I got a lot of time,
See around here, we're never sent to bed early,
Man, nobody makes us wait,
Around here, we stay up, very very, very very late,
I can't see nothing, nothing, nothing around here.

Would you catch me if I was falling,
Would you kiss me if I was leaving,
Would you hold me cause I'm lonely, without you

I said, now I'm under the gun, around here
I said, I'm lonely, lonely, I'm lonely, without you
And I can't see nothing, nothing, around here.
