Just Like You

Yeah, she sat me down one day and said
"Don't you want more than this?"
She had a clipboard in her hand and a twin set
And I thought to myself, "Did I leave the iron on when I left this morning?"
Guess I need some help with my mindset.
I spend most of my days in nothing
And nothing's what I'll be
If I don't get outta me.

It's all talk talk talk
In my day-to-day living
Giving a chance to the hopes I've got
And the folks back home.
And I'm feeling fine
Most of the time
But then I talk talk talk
And I'm on my own again.

Yeah, she had that look on her face when she said
"Isn't this a little bit, kind of, exactly like it was the last time?"
And I replied with a gleam in my eye,
"Why yes, it certainly seems to be."
With the hamster wheel going round and round in my mind
I spend most of my days in silence
And silent's what I'll be
If I don't get outta me.

It's all talk talk talk
In my day-to-day living
Giving a chance to the hopes I've got
And the folks back home.
And I'm feeling fine
Most of the time
But then I talk talk talk
And I'm on my own again.

I don't know where
I am going
Alls I know is
I'm not showing
Half of what they
Told me I had
Back when things weren't
Quite so bad.
This is what they
Tell me to be
More like them and
A lot less like me
Yes I need help
To fix the damage
But I've taken all
I can manage

Yeah, she showed me to the room with all the others
And she said, "They're all just like you"...

CEASEFIRE

Today, yes
Tomorrow, no
How far will this go?
If it's all too much
And not enough.

Will you?
Won't you?

I started something
I can't complete
Without you.
And it's too intense
For my defences.

Will you?
Won't you?

All's fair in love and war
Let's ceasefire
This pointless game.
What are we fighting for?
Please cease fire
Or take your aim.

Judging on what you've given
I've asked too much

Will you?
Won't you?

Do you want to?
