And when all this time's on my hands
					
And dreaming makes the sun fade away
					
I know depending on all my friends
				
Leads you to wish me to change
					
Its all the same to this simple mind
					
Leads you to pride and truth
					
And all the things that stay the same
					
Will steal the breath from you

         

				   
I'm gonna take all of these rocks and
				
Throw them into the sea
				  
If one should get up and float away
				
I know thats what I'll need

**Chorus**

	   
And I feel

Like I'm someone else
	   
And it seems

To be my soul
	  
And I feel

That I cannot tell
    
If this life is short
    	
But a living hell
	   
And I feel

That she's to blame
		
For my heart my soul
	  
And my eager frame of mind
		
So whats my hurry then
		
Its all these little things that stay the same

And I feel

      	

				
I'll make some empty promises
				
And we'll both smile and nod
				
We'd cried how could we get through this
				
And then we'd laugh at the thought
				
For its love, sweet love, its our common goal
							
And all these things that stay the same, will steal my soul

*Chorus*

*Chorus 2*
	   
And I feel
				
Things have been the same
			
Since she went away
				
All I know its just the way
			   
She moves across a crowded room
	  
And I feel
				
That time and time again
				
All we have are friends
				 
But oh my God its just the way
				
She moves, its just the way she moves


				
And I feel the dark is straight ahead
				
But all I have can't be replaced
				
And somethings must never change
				
These feelings, about here
				
And I hold my heart, in my hands
				
Letting life just fall whereever
				
And I can't help but wonder if
				
I'll ever fall in love again
		
And I feel.

There it is, in a nutshell.  Great song, great artist, check him out!
