The Twistinside
Everclear
Sparkle and Fade

---

We have been sleeping with the lights on
Just about every night
Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring
I know, I know it’s jus ta childish fear
Grows and grows wild in the middle of me
Gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching around my arm
Like a life that is visible and real
I know, I know stupid and immature
I just want to give shape to the face
Twists inside both you and me
Breathing fire doesn’t look good on a resume
Neither does anything else we do
Got to get ready for the real world
Yeah, yeah we got to grow up
You know I like to die for awhile
Every day in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar wrap around me tight
I’m just gonna sprawl in the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross-eyed and smiling as I watch the world go twisting by
I don’t want to die with you, or live in the same dark room
I don’t want to see your bloddshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl, all girls and big brown eyes
Man I can’t shake the pain of wanting her, needing her
I know the secret of your soul
And I just don’t want to know
Yeah, man we got to grow up
Yeah, we got to grow up
Yeah, we got to grow up
Yeah, we got to grow up
Yeah, we got to grow up
Yeah, we got to grow up
Every day, every day, every day, every day
You’re everything, you’re everyhing
You’re everything, you’re everything
I don’t wanna do this anymore, I don’t wanna
Pick it up
I can’t take it, I can’t take it
I can’t take it, I can’t take it
I can’t take it, I can’t take it
Get up, get up, get up, get up
