Sweetness (new/radio version)
Intro and Verse
are you listening?
sing it back
straight from your deadly rhyme wines
up and i would do fine
Chorus
i was spinning free
with a little sweet and simple numbing me
Verse
are you listening?
sing it back
tell me "what do i need?"
what, was this the meaning?
Chorus
Verse
stumbled to your car
sinking into sweet uncertainty
Interlude
Break (play intro)
Interlude II
and you're listening (are you listening?)
sing it back
i'm still running away
i won't play your hide and seek game
Chorus
but i did say dance
the sweetness will not be concerned with me
no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Are you listening?
Sing it back
String from your tether unwinds
(String from your tether unwinds)
Up and outward but only to bind
(Up and outward but only to bind)
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Are you listening?
Sing it back
Tell me what do I need
(Tell me what do I need)
When words lose their meaning
(When words lose their meaning)
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Stumble until you crawl
Sinking into sweet uncertainty
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
If you're listening
If you're listening
Are you listening?
Sing it back
If you're listening
Are you listening?
I'm still running away
(I'm still running away)
I won't play your hide and seek game
(I won't play your hide and seek game)
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
What a dizzy dance
This sweetness will not be concerned with me
This sweetness will not be concerned with me
This sweetness will not be concerned with me
Bleed American (2001)
If you're listening, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
Sing it back, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
Stripped of your tethered unwinds, whoa-a, whoa-a
Up and outward to find, whoa-a, whoa-a
I was spinning free, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Are you listening, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
Sing it back, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
So tell me what do I need, whoa-a, whoa-a
When words lose their meaning, whoa-a, whoa-a
I was spinning free, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Yeah, stumble 'til you crawl, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
Sinking into sweet uncertainty
ooooooh, oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh,
ooooooh, oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh
(ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhh)
Are you listening
Are you listening
If you're listening, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
If you're listening, are you listening
Sing it back, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
If you're listening, are you listening
I'm still running away, whoa-a, whoa-a
I'll play your hide and seek game, whoa-a, whoa-a
I was spinning free, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
For your dizzy dance, whoa-a-a-a-a-a
The sweetness will not be concerned with me
No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
