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. You're famous now and there's no doubt, In all the places you hang out, They know your name and know what you're about.
Tell me do you think it'd be all right If I could just crash here tonight? You can see I'm in no shape for driving And anyway I've got no place to go. And you know it might not be that bad, You were the best I'd ever had. If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, I might not be alone.
I've lost my mind on what I'd find, And all of the pressure that I left behind On Allison Road. Fools in the rain if the sun gets through, Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road.
The last horizons I could see Are now resigned to memories. I never thought I'd still be here today.
Lost Horizons, written by Doug Hopkins
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 you're in the company of strangers, Or just the strangers you call friends, You know before you start just how it's going to end.
Hold Me Down, written by Doug Hopkins and Robin Wilson
My nerves are frayed and I've had enough. I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much. I can't seem to stop at all, I'm plain wore through, waiting for your call. I've been waiting around here all night long, Holding on to these memories until they come undone.
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down; Anyplace but those I know by heart. Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down; I'll follow you down, but not that far.
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand? So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned.
Follow You Down
It gets hard; The memory's faded. Who gets what they say? It's likely they're just jealous and jaded. Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools. I'll just figure everything is cool Until I hear it from you.
Sometimes late at night when I'm all alone, I watch the airplane lights, make my way back home. I wonder if you're flying somewhere up in the clouds, While the rest of us are stuck here down inside the crowd.
You're such a mystery; It's never clear to me. You're always leaving me second guessing. All I wanna know is Baby where you go. Where you been when you come up missing? Miss Disarray.
