6/29/2000 alternate lyrics

Oh look at how we listen
oh we say nothing of what we think
we just sit around and take what's given
out by your own street
but we think, hey
how did we come to this?
I tend to save it all myself, we say
raise us out of this place

But then the rocks in our heart fall
evidence we know [?they're in?]
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake me up

Oh [?] this indifference
we pray to God most every night
and still we swear he doesn't listen
but there's still a hope in us he might
we said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
am I supposed to take it all myself
to get out of this place?

And then the hopes in our heart fall
and the feel the weight like [?]
heavy down we don't know now [?]
evidence I know what's right
oh then the colors mix together
to grey
to wake me up

There's a voice comes in from outside
says take what you can from your dreams
make it real as anything
it'll take the work out of your courage
we say, please
there's someone creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world

Oh but then the rocks in our heart fall
we forget how blessed we are
oh keep our heads down [?day some?] downward
and look up and we see this light
oh man I woke up in the morning
won't see it so bright
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it wake me up
to break me up
break me out

Although I feel hope now sinking
for the weight I cannot hold
oh burden feels grown older
do not give up on this world
oh but you lonely down in your heart now
[???]
but you're hopeless when you're younger
won't leave her yeah
but the colors mix together
to grey
and wake me up
wake me up
grey, yeah
Grey Street
main lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she just goes stumbling through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this?
I dreamed myself a thousand times around the world
but I can't get out of this place

There's an emptiness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
but all the colors mix together
to grey

How she wishes it was different
she prays to God most every night
and though she swears it doesn't listen
there's still a hope in her he might
she says, I pray
oh, but they fall on deaf ears
am I supposed to take it on myself
to get out of this place?

Oh, there's a loneliness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though it's red blood bleeding from her now
it feels like cold blue ice in her heart
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart

There's a stranger speaks outside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
oh, it'd take the workd out of the courage
but she says, please, there's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world

Oh, there's an emptiness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though it's red blood bleeding from her now
it's more like cold blue ice in her heart
she feels like kicking out all the windows
and setting fire to this life
she could change everything about her
using colors bold and bright
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
oh, it breaks her heart
to grey, yeah
it breaks her heart, yeah
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub, yeah
