LYRICS - Eytan and the Embassy

EVERYTHING CHANGES

How do you stand up straight in a world that puts you down?
And how much longer will this ship stay on the ground?
Look at the mirror and you’re starting to fear that the best of years have gone by
that you’re never climbing higher

Well if you’re tired of being yourself
Go on and be somebody else
As long as the stars are burning
The world keeps turning you know...
that everything changes

How do you know what’s of this earth and what’s divine?
And if the point of life is creation than why are we wasting our time?
Looking around to discover ourselves like it’s some fixed point you can find
You can start to lose your mind

But if you’re tired of being yourself
Go on and be somebody else
As long as the stars are burning
The world keeps turning you know...
That if you're tired of being yourself
Go on and be somebody else
Take all the rules and break em
Your plans and remake em cause you know
Everything changes

Are you ready to quit?
Are you out? Is this it?
Well we all take a hit but we keep on fighting

How did you end up in this place for so long?
And what ever made you think that this is where you belong?
Walking the streets like a dog that’s been beat cause you just can’t sleep tonight
Will you ever get it right?

Well if you’re tired of being yourself
Go on and be somebody else
As long as the stars are burning
The world keeps turning you know...
That if you're tired of being yourself
Go on and be somebody else
Take all the rules and break em
Your plans and remake em cause you know
Everything changes

Everybody’s got some story about you girl yeah
You say your head is in it
You say you’re here to win it

I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?
I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?

Last night I waited like a fool for you to show up
Well if your heart is in it
Then why would you forget it

I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?
I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?

I don’t have time to waste on teases
I know you like boys being down on their knees oh
Well this is what you get
This is what you get girl for falling in love
I hate to let you go but…

Last night I waited like a fool for you to show up
Well if your head is in it
Then why would you forget it

I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?
I know you did it for him
But can you do it for me?

I don’t have time to waste on teases
I know you like boys being down on their knees oh
Well this is what you get
This is what you get girl for falling in love
I hate to let you go but…

Train gets to my stop right as the sun drops
Climbing the stairs as the night holds it light over me
Weaving through the crowd, the street it gets so loud
But I’ve got my senses and I’ve got my guitar in my hands

There ain’t no reason to cry, everybody understands
There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no reason to cry
Take this guitar from my hands, all I wanna do is dance
There ain’t no reason to cry

Get to the rock show, the music is too low
Untangle me, turn me up, you know this ain’t no disco
Go on unplug me, back into the sea
Lost in the waves of the noise crashing all around me

There ain’t no reason to cry, everybody understands
There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no reason to cry
Take this guitar from my hands, all I wanna do is dance
There ain’t no reason to cry

Now after the party, the after-party
Two blocks away and up three flights of stairs
She said “There’s nothing to lose and there’s no room to move”
So hey what would you so to a boy with no guitar in his hands

There ain’t no reason to cry, everybody understands
There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no reason to cry
Take this guitar from my hands, all I wanna do is dance
There ain’t no reason to cry

Through the smoke, in my sights
In the heat of the summer night
Cupid’s curse lifted high to the sky

There ain’t no reason to cry
There ain’t no reason to cry

You were handed everything from the day you were born
You were lucky, can’t you see
But your daddy turned around and he left you to drown
and find your own way in this sea

And now you can’t go home Marie
So find your way with me
You’re down to your last dollar
You’re almost free

All your boyfriends went to jail
Oh you paid for their bail
They were lucky, can’t you see
But you couldn’t turn ‘em on when the money was gone
No they left you so quickly

And now you can’t go home Marie
So find your way with me
I’m down to my last dollar
I’m almost free

La, la…

And now you can’t go home Marie
So find your way with me
We’re down to our last dollar
We’re almost free

Honey stay at the door cause I can't see you no more
The time we slowly wasted on this year
And I knew we were wrong to have waited so long
With all the things I wish I'd never said

In all of your life I hope you do the things you've never done
I hope you find the light that turns you on

Honey lay down your gun cause you ain't scaring no one
Shooting all your bullets to the sun
And if the burning is slow then you've gotta let go
And find yourself a place where you belong

In all of your life I hope you do the things you've never done
I hope you find the light that turns you on

THE GOOD LIFE

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so…

Baby you’re so cruel
To be playing by these rules
Oh honey hidin’ all your money
You say you want forever but you treat me like a junkie, come on..

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so…

You say it’s me that changed
That you’ve always been the same
With all this tension, I really hate to mention
The way you turn your nose up always reeks of condescension, come on…

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so great

And you know that it’s true
We always made it through
Bad signs, bitter times
But now that we’re on a roll we’ve lost control

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so great

FROM NOW ON

I know there’s times when it’s hard to even see
How much I love you, and how much you mean to me
I get so wrapped up in myself that I turn into to someone else
Someone that doesn’t deserve you

From now on
I’m not gonna say a word
I’m just gonna prove my love

And I know there’s night when you’re waiting by the phone
For me to call you, and you worry that I’m not alone
I get so wrapped up in myself that you wish for something else
For someone that would never hurt

From now on
Oh I know it’s hard to believe me
From now on
If you say that you won’t leave me
From now on
I’m not gonna say a word
I’m just gonna prove my love

So much lost and nothing to show for
All the time and all that you'd hoped for
Say what you want, leave if it's true
I'd rather be lonlier without you

And all the songs that you fell in love to
You never thought they'd come back to haunt you
Say what you want, leave if it's true
I'd rather be lonlier without you

So tell me that your world is falling apart
And tell me that you can't get back to the start
And tell me that you see what you left behind
And tell me that everything just reminds you that you love me

Here we are right back at the ending
Been here once, I can't keep pretending
Say what you want, leave if it's true
I'd rather be lonlier without you

I've been waiting such a long long time
Waiting just to see you inside your own skin
There's nothing I can do to stop myself from crying
I still can't sleep through the night

And I'm on my own for the first time
Sometimes I foget to turn off the lights
I've got a telephone but nobody is calling
I still can't sleep through the night

I loved you every day like there was only one day
Now I'm rolling cigarettes to pass the time
Staring at the airplanes heading up the runway
Scraping against the sky

I've been waiting such a long long time
Waiting just to see you inside your own skin
There's nothing I can do to stop myself from crying
Nothing I can do, I swear to God I'm trying
Nothing I can do to stop myself from crying
I still can't sleep through the night

GOOD MORNING MARILYN

Good morning Marilyn
Forget the lies they taught us to believe in
For you know that Marilyn
A town that would break us apart is worth leaving
When I’ve got you here with me
I forget the pressures of the world around

Good morning Marilyn
Your white dress thrift store best is in a perfect pile
And you know that Marilyn, when we go to City Hall we’ll be going in style
We’ll take down the photographs in this room
And put up the pictures of a brand new life

And nobody’s gonna tell us what to do now
Oh but let ‘em try
We spend our lives working to be what they wanted
But what are we trying to hide?
Oh Marilyn, the walls of this town only seem to be holding us down

Good morning Marilyn
Forget the lies they taught us to believe in
For you know that Marilyn
A God that would break us apart is worth leaving
When I’ve got you here with me
I forget the pressures of the world around

And nobody’s gonna tell us what to do now
Oh but let ‘em try
We spend our lives working to be what they wanted
But what are they trying to hide?
Oh Marilyn, the walls of this town only seem to be holding us down

Some people out there only want to do you more harm
You can bat your eyes love but you’ll never get them to disarm
Shut them out don’t listen to their sound at all

Juliet, come on
Juliet, come on
I am on your side, oh…

You had to go back
Had to see what you left behind
When you saw him last you’d kicked him out
And seeing him now just makes you curse your doubt
Don’t you know you’re so much better off without

Juliet, come on
Juliet, come on
I am on your side, oh…

Years spent on dead-end situations
Countless hesitations, waiting for the real thing to come

Juliet, come on
Juliet, come on
I am on your side, oh…

I hear you're busy buzzing all over town, running rumors around
think you're taking me down
I see the picture that you're trying to paint but honey you ain't no saint
So don't you do me that way

Come on, you know you got me reeling
Come on, you dirty double-dealer you are
And you know you got me reeling
Come, you dirty double-dealer yeah

You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know
You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know

You send your sisters here to tell all your lies
And your friends sympathize, well they used to be mine
Can't keep my name out of your sweet little mouth
Always planting some doubt until they figure you out

Come on, you know you got me reeling
Come on, you dirty double-dealer you are
And you know you got me reeling
Come, you dirty double-dealer yeah

You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know
You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know

Everybody's gotta fight for something
Everybody's gotta fight for one thing
But you, you never really found your one thing out

You come to parties just to stare at your phone like you did back at home
Guess there's no stepping stones here
You're always needing something better to come, somewhere better to run
Somone new to become

You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know
You're the queen of all the wrong people
All the wrong people I know

Baby’s little secret started pushing me too far
Packed my bags and kissed her cheek and drove to where you are

Baby cry in the rain
Let the rain hide your pain
Honey I’m going back to where I came from

Up your driveway, thinking how you told me all along
Sometimes you get so used to wrong that you think it’s where you belong

Baby cry in the raindrops
Let the rain hide your pain
Honey I’m going back to where I came from

I’ve changed my mind a thousand times
Won’t let myself be turned around again

Baby cry in the rain
Let the rain hide your pain
Honey I’m going back to where I came from
