Almost Funny (Sid Johnson)
It's like watching someone falling off a bicycle,
Or watching blooper reels from the Gaza Strip.
Our reactions are so predictable,
Like TV detectives fishing for a tip.
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know,
It could taste so bad?
It'd be almost funny if it wasn't so sad.
It'd be almost funny if it wasn't so sad.
And we act all tough like we're in some comic book movie,
But we're needy little children inside.
We play these games of espionage and sabotage and lies,
And when we get found out we think we can just crawl under the bed and hide.
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
How was I to know,
It could taste so bad?
It'd be almost funny if it wasn't so sad.
It'd be almost funny if it wasn't so sad.
Why do you cry?
It's just a little pain,
But if you had seen,
We'd have more than these dreams.
How was I to know,
It could taste so bad?
Ooo...
It'd be almost funny if it wasn't so sad.
It's so sad. It's so sad.
It's so sad. It's so sad.

Amazing Ways (Sid Johnson)
Thought about you in the grocery store today.
I would like to congratulate you, babe.
For defeating your ghosts,
And deleting those posts,
And reveling your host of amazing ways.
All the people they smiled like the knew the game.
They walk by in their eyes I saw their shame.
Cuz they don't know what they got,
And they don't know what they want.
If they could only reveal their amazing ways.
Their amazing ways. Their amazing ways.
Oh... La di da di da (3x)
Thought about you in the grocery store today.

Your amazing ways. Your amazing ways.
Your amazing ways. Your amazing ways.

As Long as it Takes
When I see in your eyes
That you are sadder than me,
It takes away the madness in my mind
That I feel sometimes.
And I hear your whispers through the ground
Before you know that they're around,
When I'm around.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you.
I'm laughing, still laughing
At that thing that you did,
And it takes away the sadness in my eyes
That you see sometimes.
We dance about some little thing
Spinnin' 'round and 'round,
When I'm around.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
I'll wait for you as long as it takes.
Oh...
I can see you're heart and you see mine...

No Sound
What would I sing about if you were here,
If this strain in my heart were to disappear?
Had I abandoned all of the fear at your ground,
There'd be no sound.
I'd tell you why the chains had me blind,
And I fell to your knees and begged you don't leave.
But you already know,
And you had to go.
The worst of it spilled from the child and she cried,
So we'd throw down her armor and forfeit the fight.
Then I closed her eyes to listen and found,
There'd be no sound.
I'd tell you why with a lie on my face,
I fell to your knees and begged you to stay,
Please stay.
But you already know,
And you had to go.
What would I sing about if you were here,
If this strain in my heart were to disappear?
Had I abandoned all of the fear at your ground,
There'd be no sound.
You already know...
