Lyrics: [Verse 1] I can still remember me and Miss November Rain Beautiful and strange Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines Yeah, you were never on time [Pre-Chorus] You've always been slightly awkward, kind of weird Upside down and not all here What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear [Chorus] Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How 'bout you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too How 'bout you? Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human [Verse 2] Unpack all your baggage, hide it in the attic, where You hope it disappears This all seems so familiar, but it doesn't feel like home It's just another unknown [Pre-Chorus] You've always been slightly awkward, kind of weird Upside down and not all here Right or wrong, it's all so crystal clear [Chorus] Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How 'bout you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too How 'bout you? Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human [Bridge] We're all just passin' through Passengers on a ship of fools We're all just passin' through Passengers on a ship of fools [Chorus] Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How 'bout you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too On a ship of fools Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

It was released on January 29, 2001, as the lead single from their second studio album, Drops of Jupiter (2001).

Lead singer Pat Monahan stated that the song was inspired by his late mother, who had died after a struggle with cancer, and that the opening lines "came to him in a dream". "The process of creation wasn't easy. I just couldn't figure out what to write, but then I woke up from a dream about a year after my mother passed away with the words 'back in the atmosphere'...It was just her way of saying what it was like, she was swimming through the planets and came to me with drops of Jupiter in her hair." Lyrics: [Verse 1] Now, that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change, hey-hey Since the return of her stay on the Moon She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey-hey Hey-hey, yeah [Chorus] But tell me, did you sail across the Sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded And that Heaven is overrated? Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? [Verse 2] Now, that she's back from that soul vacation Tracin' her way through the constellation, hey-hey (Mmm) She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey-hey, yeah Now, that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man Who was too afraid to fly, so he never did land [Chorus] But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back to the Milky Way? And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? [Bridge] Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken Your best friend always sticking up for you Even when I know you're wrong? Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance Five-hour phone conversation The best soy latte that you ever had, and me? [Chorus] But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? (Feet) Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day (The light of day) And head back toward the Milky Way? And tell me, did you sail across the Sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded And that Heaven is overrated? And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself? [Outro] Na-na, na-na, na-na Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day? Na-na, na-na, na-na Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na And did you fall for a shooting star? Fall for a shooting star? Na-na, na-na, na-na Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

The song Amie by Pure Prairie League is a classic country rock track written by the band's co-founder, Craig Fuller, and originally recorded for their 1972 album Bustin' Out. It was released as a single in 1975 after gaining popularity on radio, leading to RCA Records re-signing the band. The song peaked at #27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #20 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. The lyrics express the singer's indecision and emotional struggle in a relationship, captured in the repeated question, "Amie, what you wanna do?". The song features subtle acoustic guitar and lilting harmonies, earning praise from critics as a quintessential example of 1970s country rock. The title is spelled "Amie," not "Aimee," and the song is dedicated to Amy Pierce from Newark, Ohio. It has been covered by artists including Counting Crows, Garth Brooks, and The Wesley Willis Fiasco. Lyrics: [Verse 1] I can see why you think you belong to me I never tried to make you think or let you see One thing for yourself But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone You see, I thought that I might keep you for my own [Chorus] Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Verse 2] Don't you think the time is right for us to find All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time? And can you see which way we should turn, together or alone? I can never see what's right or what is wrong Oh, you take too long to see [Chorus] Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Well, Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Verse 3] Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way And all the things you thought before just faded into gray And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me? If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see Won't you look at me and tell me [Chorus] Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I, longer if I do, yeah, now Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do [Outro] I keep falling in and out of love with you Falling in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do I keep falling in and out of love with you

"The Sound Of Silence" (originally by Simon & Garfunkel) Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sound Of silence"
