Lyrics:

I’ll try to recall the time
Before I said too much
But now I can’t help but feel
That I’m not good enough

I guess that nobody cares
When my heart breaks
Letting go is just too hard
Right now
To face

Drowning in silence,
Won’t say that it’s over
We’ve drifted too far, you can’t reel me back in
But if it gets too deep this time
Don’t cast me out and cut the line
I’d rather tread water than go under again

Hard to imagine why
We didn't let things cool
And somehow that's all it took
To break our hearts too soon

So now we are strangers underneath a lonely sky
Must go on, but cannot find a reason why

Drowning in silence,
Won’t say that it’s over
We’ve drifted too far, you can’t reel me back in
But if it gets too deep this time
Don’t cast me out and cut the line
I’d rather tread water than go under again

[Instrumental]

Don’t drown in silence
It’s not really over
Drifting too far, you can reel me back in
But if it gets too deep this time
We’ll work it out, just hold the line
I’d rather tread water than go under again

I’d rather tread water than go under again

Tread Water

Lyrics:

I wish I’d caught you in the nick of time
But I didn't as usual
You were sweet and lovely and oh so kind
It's in your attitude
I see you with her and she's so nice
But you're wasted on her
When there's something twice as good
I wish I could share my thoughts with you, you

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to take a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

I try not to ruin hopeful love
Between beautiful people
But I'm so lonely all the time
And I always think of you
You don't pick the people you love
They just come with some help
From up above
Am I a bad seed, or is something broken inside?

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to bag a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

If you weren't taken
I'd take you on a date
But for now I'll do nothing
Just wait
Should I wait?

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to have a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am

Café Man
Café Man
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

Café Man

Lyrics:

How did I even get to be here?
From the start, I think they knew.
This sums up my life so tragically
But perfectly.

Will somebody please sweep me off my feet
Since I need some romance too
I’ll settle for love when it surely comes,
But it won't be soon.

Let’s say that your friend, she's in deep denial
Or maybe for him, girls are not his style
Seems we're the same deep down,
but the world disagrees,
and takes it
personally.

Am I cursed
‘cause I’m gay?
They say in church
that we’re good to burn!
Whatever I’ve done
I’m okay
And we’re just flying around the sun
But we’re telling each other to go to hell,
and what for?
These murders live as one more score for the devil

Ruined with a slip of the tongue
The fear of knowing that some day
Your cards may fall, could lose it all,
but you were born that way.

Bet there are people listenin' out there
Who cannot find their voice
If you feel deep down,
that there’s nothing wrong,
then you’re doin’ things right.

They say that they’re cool with it,
then they say,
Something or other the other way

We all live in the same glass houses
Don't ruin it for all the others

Am I cursed
‘cause I’m gay?
They say in church
that we’re good to burn!
Whatever I’ve done
I’m okay
And we’re just flying around the sun
But we’re telling each other to go to hell,
and what for?
These murders live as one more score for the devil

Everybody is somebody,
especially to another.
I just want a lover
I just want another
God dammit I’m a man so look at me that way.
I’m a person not a version of a sin you
fought off yourself once.
Look within, not without.
And you’ll find what you really hate's
your own self-doubt.

Am I cursed
‘cause I’m gay?
They say in church
that we’re good to burn!
Whatever I’ve done
I’m okay
And we’re just flying around the sun
But we’re telling each other to go to hell,
and what for?
These murders live as one more score for the devil

Am I Cursed

 I live in the " Real World  " lyrics by Glenny G
What's the matter with the car your driving it seems to be running fine 
"Fine Fine Fine Fine "
Why complain about the place your living it's just for doing time
" Time Time Time Time "
I can't worry about your mental state , I'm sick and tired of trying
" Bye Bye Bye Bye "
In just in case you can't relate ,  inside I feel like dying " I feel like crying "
But I'm working on me even though your walking out
I live in the real world not the one all filled with doubts 
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
 I live in the real not alone in fantasy
What's the matter with this watch I'm wearing it must be running slow
" Time time time time "
I thought I had so much more to do but I need some place to go
" Fun Fun Fun Fun "
Cruising down the lost highway it seemed to be where I'm bound
" Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce "
I'm satisfy me a real soul someone who wont let me down
 " Wont Let me down "
Cause I'm working on me even though I'm running free
I live in the real world not a lone in fantasy
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
I live in the real world not alone in fantasy
I'm gonna take a long vacation and write myself a  sad sad song
Shake loose all this aggravation , heal my heart up oh so strong
I live in the real world . I live in the real world , I live in the real world
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD >>>>>>>>>>>>>

I live in the " Real World " !
