Sam Hall - The Fables

We took a vow in summertime Now we find ourselves in late December I believe that New Year's Eve Will be the perfect time for the great surrender But they don't remember Anger wants a voice Voices wanna sing Singers harmonize 'til they can't hear anything I thought that I was free From all that questionin' But every time a problem ends, another one begins And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don't wanna live like this But I don't wanna die Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh I don't wanna live like this But I don't wanna die Oh, no, no Within the halls of power lies A nervous heart that beats like a young pretender Beneath these velvet gloves I hide The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender 'Cause I still remember that Anger wants a voice And voices wanna sing Singers harmonize 'til they can't hear anything I thought that I was free From all that questionin' But every time a problem ends, another one begins And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don't wanna live like this But I don't wanna die Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh I don't wanna live like this But I don't wanna die Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness Anybody with a worried mind would never forgive the sight Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified I don't wanna live like this But I don't wanna die Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

Lost again somebody tell me how to get there Cause I can't take another hand shake or another blank stare Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you Guess your head is thicker than I thought You know I am starting to think that it might be you Cause I know you've got a lot of things and people you look to Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me? I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there Lost again somebody tell me how to get there If I hit another detour I'm afraid that I won't care Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations? That gold road probably just leads straight to hell And once I'm there are you gonna care Or conveniently look away? I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me? I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there I know where I wanna go But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you (do you) Do you tell me if you do

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
