Innuendo - Not Lost Lyrics
Put Our Differences Aside
(B. Richey)
A downloaded life, a subtitled world
It’s easy to blur the line
Words that ignite, verbs that conceal
It doesn’t matter, just let it be
Put our differences aside
Oh just let it go, enjoy the ride
Now it’s time to put our differences aside
Hate never sleeps, it’s typing away
Watching the worlds collide
Drown in a stream, that led us astray
It’s come between us, just let it go
Put our differences aside
Just accept we’ll never stop the tide
It’s time to put our differences aside
Enjoy the ride
Once upon a time, we didn’t mind
It didn’t matter
Now everything’s so magnified
Put our differences aside X3
(Chorus X2)
Smile For the Camera
(B. Richey)
For the record there's no more secrets, undercover electric eye
All the data that downloads to the cloud up in the sky
Simulcasting a moving picture, every detail is magnified
Interfacing a lie detector, there's nowhere left to hide
A picture of a picture, no denying what it shows
The world can see, now everybody knows
Smile for the camera hiding there
Smile for the cameras everywhere
Smile for the camera, smile for the camera
Smile for the camera camera
Everyone on the social networks, interrogating the alibi
Artificial intelligence that catches every lie
There’s no escaping the algorithms, every crime is a dollar sign
Overloading the firewall, till they can finally read your mind
Facial recognition in the first and third degree
Flash that grin so everyone can see
2nd Chorus
With the iris open wide, there’s nowhere left to hide
Middle 8
Focus the wide shot, right into the blind spot
It’s over you’re caught today
700 2nd Chances
(B. Richey)
When enough is enough is enough
Just one more time
When it's clearly, severely too much
Just cross the line
The revolving door I stand before is always open wide
I've had 700 2nd chances
And I wasted every brand-new day
I've had 700 2nd chances, threw em all away
Threw em all away
When I’ve lied to myself yet again
Just one more lie
When it’s over before I begin
I wonder why
Oh the spell I’ve cast has come to pass
And kicked my ass again
(Chorus 2)
(Instrumental)
All the chances, circumstances
Every road I take
I find a way to make the same mistake
(Monotone spoken word)
Every single time, I can picture in my mind
But when I open up my eyes I’m blind
(Chorus 3)
Burning Up the Miles
(B. Richey)
Woke up today, so far away
I've been lost for a while
Frozen in time, I stopped on a dime
I forgot how to smile
Time to rewind, and I need it
Just hit the road, and I leave it
Headed home, gonna drive all night
Through laying low, I've gotta long way to go
So now I'm burning up the miles
I can't wait, it's been a while
Oh I'm burning up the miles
The time that was lost
The lines that were crossed
Oh that I didn’t see
But I’m not the same, I finally became
The man that I was supposed to be
Light turns to night, but I still see
Right to the place where I will be
Straight ahead, I won’t turn around
Leaving the past, I got my foot on the gas
And now I’m burning up the miles
I can’t wait it’s been a while
Oh I’m burning up the lonely miles
On my way, I’m burning up the miles
(Guitar Solo)
Time to rewind, and I need it
Just hit the road, and I leave it
Headed home, gonna drive all night
Leaving the past, I got my foot on the gas
The Second Time Around
(J. Quinonez)
See your stare across the dance floor
I make my way over to you
We danced until the morning sunrise
Then it all came into view
I fell so in love with you
Wait, hold on, I'm not sure what's going on
I haven't felt this way in years
But it feels so right
You were holding me tight without a sound
It's all cause of you, it's better the second time around
Through the normal course of time
Seems you've hardly left my mind
Just knowing I was next to you
Be still my beating heart tonight
It's getting difficult to fight
What can a mortal man do
Stop, I can't breathe
Your beauty brings me to my knees
My heart may not survive the day
But it feels so right, I was lost in the night
And now I'm found
It's all because of you,
It's better the second time around
Bridge - Guitar Solo
Stop, I can't breathe
Your beauty brings me to my knees
I haven't felt like this in years
But it feels so right
You were holding me tight without a sound
It's all because of you
It's better the second time around
TMI
(B. Richey)
Time after time, you’re speaking your mind
Things that you just shouldn’t share
The words never stop, over the top
You can’t see I don’t really care
An avalanche that’s only hanging by a thread
A zero chance you’ll leave a single word unsaid
You’re giving too much information
Oh that I don’t need to know
You’re giving too much information
Putting on a show
Too much information
The line’s getting blurred, word after word
Sharing and baring your soul
You huff and you puff, oh enough is enough
You can’t stop when you’re on a roll
You never notice oh how no one else agrees
Oh and you can’t see the forest for the trees
You’re giving too much information
Oh that I don’t need to hear
You’re giving too much information
Stop whispering in my ear
Too much information, too much information
Every word that you say
All I hear is blah blah blah
Now I’m running away
Na na na na na na na
Too much information
Pointless conversation
Verbal masturbation
I’ve heard it all before
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
TMI…
Moonlight Angel
(B. Richey)
Hiding from the light, the night is right in front of me
Wish upon a star, oh I know where I want to be
Midnight’s coming up
That means the moonlight angel’s coming down
The shadows start to fall and there’s just no mistaking it
Feel the pressure rise, oh and there’s no forsaking it
Out there in the darkness, there’s a silver lining
Moonlight angel, midnight serenade
Moonlight angel, heavens on its way
Midnight’s coming up, that means the
Moonlight angel’s coming down
Waiting on the dark, oh there’s a spark igniting me
Frozen by the fire, oh with desire taunting me
Daylight fades away, I only pray the morning never comes
Lights out, the night is blinding
Pitch black, no stars are shining
The shadows intertwining, nocturnal dreams
Salvation’s on its way
Chorus 2
Everyday I’m only waiting, until the light starts fading
Count the minutes left of daylight
Until the stroke of midnight
Wide awake and dreaming, never fall asleep
Waiting for the night, waiting for the night
Never Thought I’d Live to See the Day
(B. Richey)
Looking back on how it used to be
It's hard to reminisce
There's no forever but I never thought that it would come to this
Now I walk around in disbelief that makes me wonder why
I had no idea how hard it would be to stand here saying goodbye
Never thought I'd live to see the day
Where I would turn around and walk away
Never thought I'd live to see the day
All my life I knew which way to go
Oh it was crystal clear
Oh it really had a hold on me
Until it disappeared
Now there’s nothing left that I can see
It’s gone without a trace
There’s a hole right here inside of me
Oh that I cannot replace
Never thought I’d live to see the day
I don’t know where to go, I’ve lost my way
Oh no now I never thought I’d live to see the day
So far away, from yesterday
I’m blown away
Everything is unfamiliar, I don’t understand
The world I knew is not the same
Oh I don’t understand
Chorus 2
Chorus 1
Never thought I’d live to see
The day that’s right in front of me
Never thought I’d live to see the day X2
Little Did I Know
(B. Richey)
There’s no hurry, it can’t miss
It’s all so crystal clear
Don’t you worry, oh I’ve got this
Honey hold my beer
I can’t change or rearrange it
A place I’ll never go
Little did I know
A thought I can’t recall
Little did I know I didn’t know at all
A never-ending truth or dare
I’ve got this figured out
I’m not pretending just, unaware
I’m wrong without a doubt
In one ear and out the other
Another winding road
Little did I know
I was headed for a fall
Little did I know I didn’t know at all
Little did I know
(Solo)
As far as I’m concerned
There’s nothing left to learn
I can only see what I can see
And I don’t care oh if you agree
Little did I know
A thought I can’t recall
Little did I know
I was headed for a fall
Little did I know I didn’t know at all
All Our Yesterdays
(B. Richey)
Life has me looking backwards
Through the door where we were before
After all is said and done, all these trips around the sun
Only leave me wanting more
Forever you’ll be my always, and together we’ll always be
All our yesterdays, just a haze of distant memories
Echoes from the past, they come crashing down now
All that’s left behind us, souvenirs just to remind us
Of all our yesterdays
As I drift to a distant memory
All our history comes rushing in
Can’t stop turning every page, as our story comes of age
Every stage of where we’ve been
All the vestiges are calling, oh with messages of love
(Chorus)
The past is a fuzzy picture, some happy and some sad
I keep running away to the yesterday’s we had
(Solo) (Chorus X2) (Outro)
All our yesterdays, all the black and white and grays
The memories of a lifetime
No matter where we're at, I’m forever looking back
On all our yesterdays
Killing Me
(J. Quinonez)
I once was a man who lived by the hand
Over and over again
She burst on the scene and created a dream
Forever together it seems
Now I can start to feel whole
This one has got me
She's gotten her claws in my soul
And it's killing me
(Solo)
I have lived my whole life
Without taking a wife
Not knowing of how much I need
But I said to her no
I won't act on desire
This one has got me
She's gotten a hold of my soul
And it's killing me
Innuendo - Jigsaw Sunset Lyrics
Just Like This
I woke up just in time, I’m wide awake
I’ve been looking for an off ramp I can take
Missed too many chances, there’s nowhere left to run
The writing’s on the wall, the time has come
I’ve been searching for an answer
I’ve been looking for a glimpse
I’ve been waiting for a moment just like this
I’ve been running from my demons
I’ve been circling my bliss
I’ve been looking for a reason just like this
Waiting for a moment just like this
Now I’m focused on the things that I ignored
Wipe the slate clean, zero out the board
I’ve lost so many pieces, I didn’t think I’d find
But they’re right here in this brand-new state of mind
(Chorus 2)
Just like this, it finally fits
Just like this, I can’t resist
I’ve been waiting for a moment just like this
(Chorus 3)
I’m shooting at a target I can’t miss
Chasing Yesterday
I feel the ravages of time
The memories start to intertwine
This place that used to be a shrine
Now I'm a refugee, evicted from the past
I'm always chasing yesterday
Trying to find my way back when
This black and white is turning grey
Chasing yesterday again
I'm finally feeling the effects
Can't find a road that intersects
No use retracing all my steps
There's no one else to blame, I've stolen from myself
Chorus 2 – Breakdown
The past is always calling
Whispers in my ear
Murmuring sweet nothings
Words I want to hear
Always looking backwards
It's hard to turn away
I just keep on chasing yesterday
Guitar Solo
Castaway just a refugee
Who's evicted from the past
Chorus 3
Cross That Line
There's a place in the interior of your soul
Where the secrets adding up can take a toll
The temptation to believe the lies you tell yourself
Always, everytime
When you cross that line
When you get off track
Once you cross that line
You can't go back
Balance the illusion till it falls
What the axe forgets the tree it still recalls
And the hole is getting deeper so you tell yourself
Only one more/last time
Chorus
You surrender and bend your intentions
They shifted and drifted away
Intro
Chorus X 2
Hard to Pretend
I gave away way more of myself
Then I'm ever getting back
Now there's a hole deep inside my soul
I'm a stranger in a strange strange land
I'm just trying to make it through the day
But it's hard to pretend
Just a simulated smile
Now it's hard to remember to pretend
So, bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer
Then we can talk about why you think I'm here
I can't go forward, I won't go back
I've been listening for a long long time
Every word I try to disregard
Chorus - Instrumental
I'm always bluffing, putting on an act
Before I speak my mind, I carefully redact
I'm left with nothing, time and time again
It's so hard to pretend
I gave away way more of myself
Then I'm never ever never ever getting back
Chorus
Different Highways
There’s a place I’m never going, and a song I’ll never sing
There’s different ways of looking at exactly the same thing
The revolving door you stand before is always open wide
But I don’t need a ride
We're on very different highways, that never intersect
Very different highways, on two roads that don't connect
Adamantly distant, we’ll never feel the same
All the missing pieces in this endless daisy chain
Our common ground is broken down, won’t get very far
We both know where we are
We're on very different highways, that lead us far apart
Very different highways, we both know the way by heart
Just save your breath cause I don’t need a seminar
I’ve heard it all before, the same old repertoire
Instrumental/Build
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Misdirected, unconnected highways
You go yours and I'll go mm mm my way
Very different highways we are on
The place to flip a bitch has come and gone
Where The Sky Meets the Ocean
Miles away, another day I hear it calling
The road's never straight, oh I've been waiting for a sign
Running to my Pacific state of mind
I'll be right where the sky meets the ocean
I'll be free when the sea hits the sand
Only one way to go, I'll follow that road
I won't stop till I run out of land
Long overdue, endless blue on the horizon
The tide's rolling in, it'll wash away the life I left behind
Writing myself a brand-new story line
Chorus - Guitar Solo - Breakdown
Miles away, from yesterday
Now I'm right where the sky meets the ocean
I feel free when the sea hits the sand
Oh I'm right where the sky meets the ocean
If you need me you know where I am
There was one way to go, so I followed that road
And I stopped when I ran out of land
Where the sea hits the sand
Miles away, from yesterday
I’ll be right where the sky meets the ocean
I’ll be free where the sea hits the sand
I’ll be right where the sky meets the ocean
I’ll be free where the sea hits the sand
Sometimes I Forget
The outcome of a reckless vow
The meaning slipped away somehow
It's hard to see the motive now at all
The slippery slope that led to this
Then and now don't co-exist
The message that I missed I don't recall
Didn't see the changes coming
Blinded by the slow reveal
In the shadows of a silhouette
Sometimes I forget it's just a memory
Sometimes I forget I'm not the man I used to be
Looking for a substitute
I could use a parachute
Yesterday is absolutely gone
Now it's all just fuzzy pictures
Playing back the highlight reel
Pause on every frame that I regret
Sometimes I forget I'm not the same old me
Sometimes I forget I'm not the man I used to be
Sometimes I forget, sometimes I forget
Guitar Solo
Sometimes I can't tell the difference
The bottom or the mountaintop
There's nothing I can do to make it stop
To make it stop, to make it stop
In the shadows of a silhouette
The sun has set
Sometimes I forget it's just a memory
Sometimes I forget I'm not the same old me
Sometimes I forget I'm not the man I used to be
I forget I'm not the man I used to be
Frequent Flyer
I can't portray a way I've never felt
I can only play the cards that I was dealt
I'm a prisoner to these vices)
A desire that entices me away, everyday
Like a long train runnin, I can feel it comin on
Love to play with fire, I'm a frequent flyer
I can't live without it, there's no doubt about it now
Only one desire, I'm a frequent flyer
I can only see what I can see
I'm not looking for the man I'll never be
I'm relentless and persistent
I surrender my resistance every night
Without a fight
(Chorus 2)
Say hello again, say hello
Here I go again, here I go
(Breakdown)
The cards that I was dealt
There's a moral to the story
That I've never figured out
(Chorus 3-4)
Misunderstood
I started way too soon way back when
Ended up too late again
It's hard to find the words
If these walls could talk, I'd listen
Try to find the point I'm missing
Rituals die hard
I misunderstood
Wishful thoughts don't make it true
Oh and I misunderstood it all again
I wish someone would have told me
No one took the time to show me, I'm
Learning as I go
I misunderstood
I didn't see the consequences
I misunderstood it all again
And all the chances that I missed
It's all been leading up to this
If these walls could talk
I misunderstood
Decisions that I can't take back
Oh and I misunderstood it all again
I misunderstood
I played both sides against the middle (or)
In one ear and out the other
I misunderstood it all again
Misunderstood, I misunderstood
Can't come to terms with the past
I misunderstood
Trying Not to Look
Running down a beaten path, how'd I end up here again
I don't need another round, zero out and zero in
Let it go I've had enough, playing all the cat and mouse
Walk away from all the smoke, burning down the firehouse
Landmines, ten times, out of ten
I keep trying not to look, it's so hard to turn away
Being dragged into a game, oh that I don't wanna play
I keep trying not to look
I imitate myself again, trying on a new disguise
What woulda, coulda, shoulda been, I don't wanna visualize
There's not a better point of view, it's easier to look away
The lies are always coming true, a never ending rainy day
Bullseye, shanghai, every time
I keep trying not to look, nothing here for me to see
Being dragged off to a place, that I don't ever wanna be
I keep trying not to look
(Guitar Solo)
I keep closing my eyes, but it won't go away
I'm reading this world like a book
I keep trying not to look...
Chorus
The Weakest Man Alive
Sometimes it's right to be wrong, just play along and don't get rattled
Pick your battles, not the ones that got away
Sometimes it's wrong to be right, there's no black or white
We're all corrupted, interrupted, all the words we meant to say
And if the lines drawn, I'll walk right across it
I won't hold back, like a leaky faucet
Oh I'm the weakest man alive, king of the bad decisions
Oh I'm the weakest, weakest man alive
Buying and selling fear that's not for sale, it's just a fairytale
Made out of nothing, always bluffing, and the truth gets in the way
I hear the tick tock and there's not much longer
I'm too worn out to be any stronger
Oh I'm the weakest man alive, on the path of the least resistance
Oh I'm the weakest, weakest man alive
Instrumental Break
I'm committed and devout, the easy way is my way out
The bad decisions of the weakest man alive
Guitar Solo
And if the lines drawn, I'll walk right across it
I won't hold back, like a leaky faucet
Overloaded overdrive
Oh I'm the weakest man alive, and the king of the bad decisions
Oh I'm the weakest, weakest man alive
Oh I'm the weakest man alive, on the path of the least resistance
Oh I'm the weakest man alive, underdriven overdrive
Oh I'm the weakest, weakest man alive
Outro
Sometimes it's right to be wrong
The World We Left Behind
Picking up the pieces of what's left of the plan
Feels like it's over before it began
Holding on so tight as it slips through your hands
Cloudy memories of another time
Back there in the world we left behind
Another day that slipped away
We're running out of time
Looking for a place we'll never find
What could have been, what should have been
It fades away with time
It's back there in the world we left behind
Another day that slipped/slips away
We're running out of time
What could have been is back there in
The world we left behind
What could have been is back there in
The world we left behind
Until We Meet Again
Days slip away in a flash
Time always goes by so fast
Years disappear in the blink of an eye
Sorry I'm going away
We'll meet up on some other day
We're just temporarily saying goodbye
Until we meet again
The distance is only for now
Until we meet again
Turnaround
I’m gone but the bond doesn’t change
Our hearts are apart but the same
The feeling remains on for here ever after
2nd Chorus - Guitar Solo
Frozen in time
Shining and blinding
The distance is only for now... just for now
Intro - 3rd Chorus – Intro - 4th Chorus - Outro/Guitar Solo
A light begins
Where the darkness ends
Let it shine, yours and mine
Til we meet again
Don't let go
Let the memories glow
All my love, peace and love
Til we meet again
