"Whispers at the bus stop. I heard about nights out in the school yard. I found out about you. Rumors follow everywhere you go. Like when you left and I was last to know. Youre famous now and theres no doubt, In all the places you hang out, They know your name and know what youre about."
Gin Blossoms"Ive lost my mind on what Id find, And all of the pressure that I left behind On Allison Road. Fools in the rain if the sun gets through, Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road."
Gin Blossoms"Cause all I really want is to be with you, Feeling like I matter too. If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago, I might be here with you."
Gin Blossoms"Tell me do you think itd be all right If I could just crash here tonight? You can see Im in no shape for driving And anyway Ive got no place to go. And you know it might not be that bad, You were the best Id ever had. If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago, I might not be alone."
Gin Blossoms"And every days much better Since Ive slowed my drinking pace. Theres no swimming in the bottle Its just someplace we all drown."
Gin Blossoms"The last horizons I could see Are now resigned to memories. I never thought Id still be here today."
Gin Blossoms"So I guess I must have just been dreaming When I thought I heard myself say no. Anyway it looks like no one heard me, so here I go. Cause when youre in the company of strangers, Or just the strangers you call friends, You know before you start just how its going to end."
Gin Blossoms"Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down; Anyplace but those I know by heart. Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down; Ill follow you down, but not that far."
Gin Blossoms"Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand? So what the hell now, weve already been forever damned."
Gin Blossoms"My nerves are frayed and Ive had enough. Im a lot afraid that itll hurt too much. I cant seem to stop at all, Im plain wore through, waiting for your call. Ive been waiting around here all night long, Holding on to these memories until they come undone."
Gin Blossoms"I wonder what youre dreaming While were halfway cross this bridge. Weve come too far to turn back, Were just too close to quit."
Gin Blossoms"Sometimes late at night when Im all alone, I watch the airplane lights, make my way back home. I wonder if youre flying somewhere up in the clouds, While the rest of us are stuck here down inside the crowd."
