lyrics

hey there blue eyes
you know why i'm looking down at the sidewalk lines
well i jumped a year too late
and now i'm stuck in the garden state

i'm sick --
began talking to the walls around this dirty ground
the sounds rise and fall into a lie that can't ever be saved

in the fall when the colors fade
i'll be left wondering what passes by when i go to ground
in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again

hey there blue eyes
won't you stop and wait for me by the oceanside
the tides they rise and fall and i'll close my eyes and wash away

in the fall when the colors fade
i'll be left wondering what passes by when i go to ground
in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again

you occupy the back of my mind while the leaves fall down
a solitary walk confirms i've told some lies to myself
again it stands to reason,
that i'm lost here in the changing season
and i've spent these last 3 months talking to these walls again
they respond to me as ghosts, but they haven't any names
i'm not sure they can bear the weight

in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again
