1999 Songtext
von Speechwriters LLC

Stuck inside my cell
This Southern California hell
Things here aren′t going quite so well
As it would seem
It should be said
I got your pictures by my bed
To bring me back when I feel dead
But you still feel just like a dream

Living with a curse
I can conceive of nothing worse
Than life with you out there
And me here on my own
My dreams are still about you
As I'm breaking down without you
In this place that I refuse to call my home


I watch the days go by
As if I wasn′t here
I see the sun rise up and burn
I watch the sunlight disappear
But while the days keep on repeating
All my dreams die self-defeating

Falling broken out my head onto the floor
A little bit of you up in my arms
And I feel fine
I drink your kiss like it was wine

You make me shine to make you mine
We leave the rest behind
Tomorrow cannot find us
If we undermine the hands of time
Inside each other's minds
Like it was 1999 again now

Hungry belly I can't sleep
I pray the sea my soul to keep
But there′s no ocean tide around
The things I need so I can make you real
Add up to more than I can steal
And I just die without a sound


I say your name sometimes
To taste it on my lips
I see you smiling in my mind
I trace you with my fingertips
But you′re not there to feel me breathing
Lying cold and disbelieving
In this heavy desert air that never leaves

A little bit of you up in my arms
And I feel fine
I drink your kiss like it was wine
You make me shine to make you mine
We leave the rest behind
Tomorrow cannot find us
If we undermine the hands of time
Inside each other's minds
Like it was 1999 again now
