Life Is Meaning

I'm Still Here
by John Rzeznik


I, am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what, do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be


And what, do you think you'd understand
I'm a boy, no I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how, can you learn what's never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here


And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can the world want me to change
They're the ones, they stay the same
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here


And you, see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I, wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am


And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can the world want me to change
They're the ones, they stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
hey can't tell me who to be, cause I'm not what they see
Yeah the world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe


And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can they say I'll never change
They're the ones, they stay the same
I'm the one now
Cause I'm still here


I'm the one
Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

"Kody"

Kody sat down on the avenue
He tapped his feet, to the humming of the highway
He watched the light shine down on the broken glass and thought
I don't got no reasons, yet
There it is and there it was
It was clear to all of us
We kept this hat of broken dreams
And we pulled them out, when we needed them around

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think the hurt sets in
And I don't feel nothing

There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
It lets us know if he comes around
I don't sleep that good anyway
If you've never heard the silence, it's a God awful sound

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think I just caved in
And I don't feel nothing

I don't feel nothing, no I don't feel nothing
There's nothing to feel good about here

Don't much get down to the avenue
I could drive, but it takes so much to get there
Don't get off on all the broken glass, the cadillac scene,
Well
I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
In an over emotional way

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think the hurt sets in
And I don't feel nothing


"Push"

She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

[chorus]

I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
Cuz it's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all

[chorus]

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

[chorus]
