Five For Fighting - Superman

I can`t stand to fly
I`m not that naive
I`m just out to find
The better part of me

I`m more than a bird...I`m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it`s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I`ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don`t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won`t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It`s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It`s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I`m not crazy...or anything...

I can`t stand to fly
I`m not that naive
Men weren`t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I`m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one-way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It`s not easy to be me

Five For Fighting - White Picket Fence

I've cut off the curls
I shaved half my face
Became half the man you asked to replace.
I'm willing to save you
You said you're worth saving
But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving
Stand in the mirror
That's me beside you
The one with the smile, the one who abides you.
Don't mind the madman
The killer, the lover
He's slowly fading one into the other.

Where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.

You say that you're happy
Well you should know better
I see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater
That some lover tore off you
That left you both shaking
That bled deep inside you the wound you'd forsaken

Where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.

Don't fear I will save you
Don't shout you'll awaken
The corpse in the desert staked out beside you
I cut off his wing
And shaved half his face
But I thought that I saw his eyes...move

Five For Fighting - Something About You

I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you
I don't know where to dig in.
I don't know how to get in there:to feel you

It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been to long and I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

I never thought I would win
I never thought much about that.
(It's been a long time coming)
I never stopped to begin
Thinking about the process.
(It's been a long time coming)

It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been to long and I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

It's been a long time coming
I'm going to hold on to that

And I'm going to be there:be there:alright

Five For Fighting - Love Song

Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes
Put away that bullshit, Big boys they don't cry to their mama's
:She'll be back soon
Put away your raincoat and make your bed
Take another bullet right to your head
We're going on a picnic and we'll get there soon

She says:Maybe it's over
He say's: there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say: Don't go away from me:

Put away your dinner and have a snack
Tie your little brother up in a sack now
We're moving to the country and we'll get there soon (she says)

Pack up all the things that you don't deserve
Take another swing: Here comes a curve ball
I bet you can't hit it cause you'll swing to soon

She says:Maybe it's over
He say's: there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say: Don't go away:
Don't go away
Please don't go away from me:

Take those damn pictures off that shelf
Put away your mommy you don't need her
I found you a new one: she'll be here soon

She says:my God it's over
He say's: I found another fish in the sea
I say: why me?
Why me?
Why me?
Why is it me?

Five For Fighting - Jainy

Jainy sells for three dimes a night
Morning helps her find her way blind
And I love her more than I can tell
Heaven help me now
Seems I found to find her just as well:

Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea

Jainy takes me three times a night
Morning Saves me and I find my way blind
And she loves me more than she can tell
Heaven help her now
Seems she's found to find me just as well

Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea:

Jainy stares at stars every night
Morning takes her eyes every time
And she'll love you more than you can tell
Heaven help us now
Seems you've finally found us: just as well:

Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea:

She'll be all right
She'll be all right

Five For Fighting - Day By Day

Day by Day I wake up for you I do
and I rise to who knows who
well if I can say...some other day

Day by Day I reach out to you I do
and I pretend there's something to it
And if I can say...I've had better days

Day by Day I resort to you I do
and I wash up after you're through
If I can say...that's O.K.

You're in my head again
You're in my bed again
You're in my mirror again

And if you don't mind me...I don't mind you

Day by Day I reflect on you I do
I reflect on you I do

Five For Fighting - 100 years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose

15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you?re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you?re on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live.
