Singles (2000)












Opener lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

You told me, "Don't you look at the sun"
"It burns your eyes out"
I disobeyed and seen the man
Who's going nowhere

Convince me this
You don't got to worry
You're on your feet
Please help me down

I brainstormed and caught up with my friend
He's doing fine now
It's been uplifting
Knowing you are
How sad, so sad

I beg him this
May he mind not worry
To break this chord of a paranoia
And there's no anecdote for a petty love
I think you found the lighter side
Of our friendly hope
I don't mean to poke
We can face obvious nonsense

77 Satellites lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

It's alright to be held back by retro-man
It's far fetched fun when you're the one

The prize
I knew you would come through
I thought I could be right, number one
But it's alright

It's televised in forest green
It's been brought back by retro-man
Hold your thoughts in
It ain't yet over
You won't slide under me

The prize
I knew you would come through
I thought I could be right, number one
But it's a lie

What Would I Say To You Now lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Still sitting there with your legs crossed
Not paying attention to me
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?

All the wrong I've done
All the wrong I'll do
Keeps me from trying

It keeps me quiet
Throw out your arms to each side
It's easier to let things go
When we talk think what we say: there's questions then silence and
In silence we remain

All the wrong I've done
And all the wrong I'll do
It keeps me from trying

Keeps me from calling you
Something I just found out
Something you know by now
Hope makes you so strong
Strength keeps you alone and far away

Speed Read lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Save the wrapping for another
Dressing doesn't mean a thing to me
Submission for a ladder rung
You decide what you're used for
You decide
I know what you are, what you are
I see clearly what you are, what you are

Spangle lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

I'm glad you found the time to ring
I just spent all day waiting
I need to know what's happening
Well at least we both agree
Really don't know where to start
Did you say you met some neighbor
I guess I'm headed for a broken heart
Why are you doing this to me?

It's so clear
I can hear, and I'm not gonna share you with no one
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye

How long have you had this planned?
Guess it shows how much you care
Now I understand how I just played the fool
Sure I'm gonna let you go
I was wrong to ever trust you
Don't think that you'll ever know how you could be so cruel

It's so clear
I can hear, and I'm not gonna share you with no one
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye

H Model lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

"Straight outta Phoenix boys"
Stay up late and listen in
Trading insult for your time
It breaks my heart in half to see her jumping up and down screaming:
"Cash in honey, cash in now"

Lift your hands up slow
If only you could see yourself
Everything you are imitate and water down

If just because you'll never have your politics with perfect means
Doesn't mean you talk the round and round
Forsdale's syringe is wearing so thin

Lift your hands up slow
If only you could see yourself
Everything we are imitate and water down

They'll never know your world no matter how they try
It's your world
Never know, they'll never know your world
(It's above us)

Ramina lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

(Instrumental)

Christmas Card lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Hey still staring little girl
Are you looking at or past me?
Worry
Simple symptoms won't leave you this underweight or red in the eyes
No more rules, the ones we make don't last the night

So pick up the pieces
Start again, start over Tuesday morning
Conscience clean

This card, postmarked December 23
The caption reads, "How does he do it?"
Ms. too bad he treats me like I'm dead
Nothing works to make this easy
No more lies
The ones we live will work just fine

So pick up the pieces
Start again, start over Tuesday morning
Conscience clean, alone

I hope you figure out what it is you want

Untitled lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Porch light alone as you stepped out
You stepped out
It made a silhouette of your head, then you walked down

Carbon Scoring lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Here we go
(My only cold I fought)
Here I am, frozen in time I find a way from you, pave the way

And because I can't stand still they'll leave you down and out
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back

Tell me now, I need to know how long
Clear the way
Don't make me wait all day
With you, from you, pave my way

And because I can't stand still, they'll leave you down and out
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back

It's a long way home
Can't you find your way?
I'm a trampoline
Lift me up over Fahrenheit
I'm a trampoline
I

Digits lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

Pay attention
Stop paying for regret
Fossil resources all used up
Make the best use of your time
You could be on to something
Too skeptic, too tired to care

When they all seem to know at once
Sweet muse left me all alone
There's only my weight left
Euthanasia could be the greatest gift

It's all the same
So let me know
It's never changed
So let it go
(Wait outside your house to come back out)
It's all the same
So let it go
It's just what you

Save the long car ride home
Don't leave your house today
Nothing lost but still nothing gained
No possibilities
All wasted, world gone under
Life means I hear my ears ring one more day

And you will see it through at once
Sweet muse, she won't be around today
Things that I could not say
Are we through yet?
Are you gone yet?

You're on and off
Phase in, phase out
Cross your heart
Crash, burn and fall
Under cushions hide the change
So no one knows
Just be careful who you tell
I really want to care when you say, "I'll change that."
I just don't feel a thing when you say, "We'll get there, someday."

The Most Beautiful Things lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

You say the most beautiful things
An endless list of treasures of trimmings
It takes all my faith just to start
I don't care now how much I'm wrong

(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything

My song it shames your ears
Every sentence a failure
Slant rhyme is all I can give
Half truth is all I'll get

(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything

Oh, lie to me
Oh, love me

(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything

Cautioners lyrics - Jimmy Eat World

The time I would spend
With pictures I would not send
I watched you go from left to right
I followed you all night
Across my blinds

You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me

I'm making my peace
I'm making it with distance
Maybe that's a big mistake
You know I'm thinking of you
I miss you

You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me

You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me
