Way back when, when I was young I used to dream I'd be someone But the times have changed Nowadays it's plain to see The world ain't what it used to be And it all seems strange, so very strange Way back when, there was a time When I thought I could make her mine But I was wrong Everything I seemed to say She seemed to take the other way But I'll get along, life goes on The sun would shine upon her only When she walked she made the highest seem so lowly She'd make a sermon seem unholy But she's sad and lonely She's sad and lonely She's a sad and lonely soul... Way back when, when I was small I used to think I knew it all But what did I know? Half of what we see is real The other half is what we feel And it goes to show, noone told me so The sun would shine upon her only When she walked she made the highest seem so lowly She'd make a sermon seem unholy But she's sad and lonely She's sad and lonely She's a sad and lonely soul... The sun would shine upon her only When she walked she made the highest seem so lowly She'd make a sermon seem unholy But she's sad and lonely She's sad and lonely She's a sad and lonely soul... Way back when, when I was young I used to dream I'd be someone But the times have changed, the world seems strange

I'm just looking for the face I know so well I've thrown all of my coins in the wishing well I'm looking for a soul that I can tell Without her it's been hell I just wanna see her face again I just wanna see her face again I'm just going through the things that I would say I'm praying that the rain won't go her way I'd give away the world if she would stay Forever and a day I just wanna see her face again I just wanna see her face again She never calls my name She never looks my way I think it's such a shame I could die when I see her cry I'm just going to the places she would go I'm waiting for the train at the railroad I'm looking for a way that I can show Just how I need her so I just wanna see her face again I just wanna see her face again I just wanna see her face again I just wanna see her face again

Well the rain is getting heavy and my boots are wearing thin I ain't got no shelter 'cept the hole that I'm stuck in If this was a story, I don't know where I'd begin I think about the future...and I jump out of my skin Somewhere a lady's crying, she ain't got a thing to eat She's barely got the money for the shoes upon her feet The minister's just laughing, he says 'Darling, don't you know you're all the same?' Can someone please arrest this man? I don't even wanna hear his name The clouds they keep on rolling by and I can't see the sun A holy man once told me that it shines on everyone Well I don't think he's lying, I just think he's got a jaded point of view I don't like the sound of him telling people what they should and should not do The world it ain't ok, there's something wrong, it ain't alright It's taken so much shadow to identify the light I don't think I can tolerate another second on this barren stage And it feels so wrong to think this song's about the troubles of this day and age It ain't alright It ain't alright It ain't alright It ain't alright

Caroline 03:25
She takes the hairpin from her hair Her thoughts are flowing everywhere She tries to calm herself but finds no words to say She looks into the looking glass That sees the future and the past But now reflects her thoughts like words upon a page, words upon a page Caroline Waste no dreams on summertime Reside in the things you feel inside Caroline There's a world outside these walls You cry, but your name will never die She turns towards the open door That calls her into nevermore A crowd of jeering faces baying at the stage She stumbles slowly up the stairs Before a world that never cared She used to watch the sunrise almost every day, almost every day Caroline Waste no dreams on summertime Reside in the things you feel inside Caroline There's a world outside these walls You cry, but your name will never die She feels her tears begin to run Her cheeks now shimmer in the sun But now the clouds descend to wash her fears away She bows her head down to the floor She hears the crowd begin to roar And though her hands are tied behind she tries to pray, she tries to pray Caroline Waste no dreams on summertime Reside in the things you feel inside Caroline There's a world outside these walls You cry, but your name will never die

I don't wanna stay no more Please don't leave me on the floor Won't someone get me out of here? Too much going through my brain And it's driving me insane Won't someone get me out of here? Get me out of here Don't let me disappear Get me out of here Don't let me down my dear, oh no, oh no I've been trying to tow the line But I'm running out of time Won't someone get me out of here? Too much rides upon my name I don't want fortune or fame Won't someone get me out of here? Get me out of here Don't let me disappear Get me out of here Don't let me drown my dear, oh no, oh no It always seems the same Everyone will jump the gun in the pouring rain And there's no place to be I think I'll run away to sea The world just seems so cold to me Get me out of here Don't let me disappear Get me out of here Don't let me drown Get me out of here Don't let me disappear Get me out of here Don't let me drown my dear, oh no
