Can't get back, can't remind you
We're closer now than I would want to be
They think it's easy if you just imagine
Before the dust will trip you up again
Choose the way that you want to go now
I'll meet you there, meet you there somehow
We leave behind all this worried puzzle
Wake from a dream, I knew you'd be there still
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
Down the street lined with dirt and plastic
When you appeared I just happened to be
In the midst of another nightmare
Taking me back just like I knew it would
Don't you step into the shadows
There's a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
In the dark there's no-one with me
There's no stars to warm my skin
I'd light a match if I could hold one
It's coming over me again
It's coming over me again, yeah
Let this feeling go on past us
Let this cage turn into rust
So many pieces and so many people
You'll never figure out just who I was then
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadowsHang me in your dorm room
Paint me on shampoo bottles and
Place me in plastic happy meals
Then give me away
New face, same old cd
Safe smack for easy deities
I'm blessed with blame
I'm giving it away
I wish I was beautiful
Book me on "Leno" and "Letterman"
Scratch a cheap logo here on my t-shirt
We'd be so happy
More money more sex more apathy
Sell me a cause I don't care which one
Put me on your mix tape
Put me on your mix tape
Then I could tell every me that I'm your super-star
Put me on your mix tape
Put me on your mix tape
Baby, I'm a wanna be pop star
In all this time
I was sure I'd find myself
in a poster on your locker door by now
Put me on your mix tape
I'm a newborn stereo super-star
Turn me on
