This ain't the kind of affair to make you dance about
But there's something to say for the things
You wouldn't regularly let out
At least this chase makes you feel new
She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you
You've run through the whole gamut of gameplay
The head-trip parade
Without any experience
You've become curious prey
So change your position
This decision you're making
Is digging a hole
Oh, and where you're headed
Only heaven knows
So set out your plans
Break down your walls
Count what you're blessed with
You've counted them all
There's something to save
But you have to search
You might not believe
But, believe me, it works,
Believe me it works, yes it does
She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
Oh, I feel good
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Tou speak kind
Oh, if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked
We would be...
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Everything else will be over-rated
Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like...
I will be enough
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
I've been really tryin baby
Tryin to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel
Like i feel baby
Come on oh come on

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give (understand it sugar)
Since we got to be
Lets live (i love ya)
Theres nothing wrong with me
Loving you baby (no no no)
Giving yourself to me could never be wrong
If the love is true (baby)

How sweet and wonderful life can be

Let me do what i want to do
All i want to do is make love to you (x4)
You give me good feelings (x4)
Lets get it on
I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to loose control,
I began to loose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
Im sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.
I was feeling insecure,
you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
no I didnt,
I'm just a jealous guy.
I'm jealous,
Jealous,
Jealous.
I'm jealous,
jealous,
jealous.
I'm jealous,
jealous,
jealous.
I'm jealous,
jealous,
I'm just a jealous guy.
I’ve had days
Of wine and women and wine
Spending all my precious time
I wish I could press rewind
But it’s just plain
Feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it’s just a phase
Maybe I’m losing my mind
Oh, pretty hair
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
You’re the type, that won’t stop til it’s done right
Won’t let him out of her sight
Don’t mind putting up no fight
And that’s the way I like it
Don’t mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you’re even invited
Keeping me up all night
Oh, baby
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Oh, baby
See you’re off the coast
Working it out
Showing on through
Building a sandcastle
And a big old sandbox
Oh baby, baby
Listen what I’m thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost
Spending all my money on phone cards
Waiting for my ship to come in
In from that ocean
Come home to this sea
Harboring in me
I don't believe in four leaf clovers
Or the luck they're suppose to bring
I've used all my wild cards
But theres something I can do
To get close to you
Chorus:
I've got dreams of love
And I love you
I know you feel the same way too
I feel your spirt
and when your away
Somehow somewhere
I'll see you again
But intill then
I've got dreams of loveing you
Thinking bout' every little thing
We ever did crazy
Sipping on that memory lane
That may never closed it
Seven days of the week
I can drive in my sleep
Chorus
Dreams I will share
When I see you again
And I'll see you again pretty soon
I could wait
But in till then...
Chorus
You don't understand my jokes
You're burning my eyes with your smoke
If I wasn't alone, I'd ask you to move away
So I order up another round
Sipping my last one down
You're the best deal in town
And I've only got dreams to dream of
Sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love
If you need a few drinks
you could start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
And this year burned a hole in my hope
I got debts that could choke out a rope
And it's not my approach it's the way I go summing things up
And there's really nothing great about this bar
So here I am and right there you are
We're both shooting way under par
But soon we'll forget what par was
Yeah, sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love
If you need a few drinks
You might as well start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
Sometimes, you need a few drinks to fall in love
Its so nice to see you
Can we sit and talk for awhile
I can searched forever
I can't Imagine anything better
Kids up on the stairway
Couples on the sidewalk squares
If I get your heart soon
I'll call a perfect afternoon
(chorus)
Won't you call my number
Don't push, but don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me, but need time to wake
Checkmate on my shoulder
I'm tired if this win or lose
Well I'm no knight in shinning armor
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
My patience ran away
Take me with you
You keep me holding on
Nothing's understood
You're so confusing
Tell it to me straight
(chorus)
I got nothin' left to loose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes (x4)
this might sound a bit crazy
but i can't help but say it
i'll tell you what i saw
and your tell me what you think
this a.m. after breakfast
i was cruising past the sidewalk exit up
the store where you work every morning
and this funny boy with this trumpit toy
and his new shoes on
and your hair was long
and you where flipping left and right as you were
he was saying things you were listening you were talking back
you thought i didn't see that
baby eveyone always say that my eyes hide by my hat
CHORUS:
i have you in closure
i have you in closure
didn't want to get too excited
but got invited to the party
so i didn't come in
oh girl i held you with closure and your lies
i know i'm abracive but i'm not control creation
i just demand what i need
and i trash whats left
we're tired thats allright
we learn to believe it
cold nights
and many we seen in this outfit
cloudy skies with you
rainy eyes with you
and this other jake
hes such a flake
and he slapped me with every intenion
but a tradgedy what sight to see
now i'm throwing dirt cuz that really hurt
and no no no nothings gonna make me beilieve
we could be what we were
CHORUS
Oh i held you with closure and you lied to my face
oh baby you've been a bad bad girl
i held you with closure x7
This is what i get
ohh you've been so bad
I was born by the river
In a little town
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
but I know change gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time comin'
but I know change gonna come
Oh yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, long time comin
but I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Bridge:
When I go to my brother
I say Brother Help me please
But he winds up knockin me
Back down on my knees me beg you
Pleaseeeeee Yeahhhh
There've been times of hope
I couldn't less belong
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time, long time comin but I know
Yeah, a change gonna come, oh yes he will.
How can I just let you walk away
Just leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much i need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face
Take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you
Well, that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause oh, I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
That's a chance I've got to take
"Anyway"
by: Gavin Degraw
I don't wanna get too close
I don't wanna get too close
you see this isn't where my head is
if you knew me i'm not like this
but i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway
I believe your very fine
still i haven't got the time
cuz i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway
and the sky opens up
with the soil of the sun
dreaming of my true looovee
I don't mean to be so strange
but my life just took a change
oh your amazing, I'm attracted, and im terribly distracted
and I'm tryin to be verbal, I'm back into the circle
because i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you
nice to meet you
nice to meet you.. anyway (4 times)
You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end before I see you again
What can I say to convince you to change your mind of me?
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
and when I kiss your soul, your body will be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Not just the color, look inside of me
Tell me all you need
And I will try
I will try
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
and when I kiss your soul, your body will be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
Free for you whatever you need
We'll be free together, baby
Free together, baby
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul your body be free
I'll be free
For you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
Well, before you go away
I'm gonna give you all that I can say
The truth is harder to amuse
But when you know it's wrong
You got to cut it loose
(Chorus)
Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at
The thoguht of you to disappear
Shutting the door and walking out of here
To know there's something you must find
That I never had, believe me that I tried
(Chorus)
Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at
Calm down
I do declare
A conversation
We tried
And put it on the line
Sometimes
The feeling can survive
(Chorus)
Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at
Oh if you ever do,
If you ever do
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, look a little bit closer and it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown ooh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
Baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears baby, baby baby baby
Take a good look at my face
Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place
Look little bit closer, it's easy to trace
You don't know how lucky you are
Hanging with that girl on your arm
But soon enough I'm taking my show
Bang!
Once I get 'em locked in my sight
Doesn't mean I wasn't alright
I'm just seeing something I like
Woo hoo
(Chorus)
I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar
Someone else's sugar
Sweeter
Went to school and found out you're dumb
Maybe you just had too much fun
Fell in love and think it's the one
You're like an angel
Got me feeling like a devil
And I wanna give you something if
You promise that you won't tell
Woo hoo
(Chorus)
I'm a recommend
You take that body to the other end
I really like you but I can't be friends
Not with these hands of mine
(Chorus)
I'm a poor, I'm a rich
I'm a mountain and a ditch
I'm a dagger and a shield
I'm impatient, I'm a yield
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair
Salt on my skin, sun in the air
I have to feel love holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need
I'm the fight and the dance
I am heartbreak and romance
The feather and the stone
I feel crowded and alone
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair
Salt on my skin, sun in the air
I have to feel love holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need
And every once in a while I wanna sit back and enjoy the view
I'm feeling my senses
But woman my life has been surrounded by fences
But I found some that I could see through, I could see through
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair
Salt on my skin, sun in the air
I have to feel love holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need
Everything that you would ever need
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mena?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
When your feathers are soaked
And your eyes are too bloody to see
And you've pulled every punch that you had
But there's one that you need
Then you've waited too long
There's a hole in your heart
And all you've become
is emotionally over-run
Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
The consequences are you keep on relying
You've become a run and hide refugee
Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
Put up your hands and surrender to me
You're gonne get hooked
If there's anything left I can do
You're already disarmed
It's your lasting alarm I pursue
You can loosen those fists
Come on blow me a kiss
You've been roughed up enough
To deserve some relief from your troubles
So I'm coming in
Otherwise
I would never tell you what to do despite
Any indecision though I know I'm right
Arguing was always my forte
But one thing I can say is
I won't tell you lies
Or treat you like a rental car like other guys
And if you think I'm crazy find an alibi
Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
Oh, I feel good
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Tou speak kind
Oh, if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked
We would be...
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Everything else will be over-rated
Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like...
I will be enough
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you
When my pass came in, you dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if the lips stay still
There is a line I crossed
And when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush,I've got a crush
I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that sense are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I"m not ashamed
You might just feel the same
But have to try it
If you're ever really going to know
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush, I've got a crush
I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I can't control it - You've got me all over the road
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me off, but I don't mind
i just get better with time
And so do you
So do you
Listen up destiny
I know you want to get pressed to me
So don't be such a stone
When I call you on the phone
Or I won't be using that number again
Maybe what you had was broke
You want to get high and they don't
So I had a drink
'Cause it helped me think
Now you say I've been drinking too much
But my hands start shaking
And my heart starts quaking
Like a nightmare naked in school
And I want to tell you
Wait a minute sister
I know I ain't your mister yet
Just give me a chance and see
But you won't even get next to me
What you want to do now
You're gonna have to give somehow
And I've got that thing you need
But you won't even get next to me
Once I get you in my grip
Follow my eyes to your hips
Don't you pull away
You've done it every day
Just stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay baby
Put away your old disguise
You don't want no other guys
We're having so much fun
I know you shouldn't run
But you run, you just run
You just run baby
Me here
Heart in hand
Offering
What I can
Patience
Running thin
Come on girl
I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
I belive you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Because I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
And even if you want me to stay here
I'm telling you right now
I should leave
Before I get to changing my mind, dear
I can't live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time
But it all works out
You're a shining ember
I'll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won't let you down
And I'll always be here
Yes, I'll always be here
Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go
Except for me
I'm the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now
Why don't we play hooky?
We could both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today
We don't have to shower
You won't wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we'll put it all away
And we'll always be near
We should always be near
Don't you know you're the one for me
So many people gonna say that they want you
To try to get you thinking they really care
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
Who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it
Don't let nobody put you down, who you?re with
Take the pain of protecting your name
From the crutch to the cane to the high wire
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
Out the many broken back doors and windows
Through the valley of the love of the lost
Is a hole that is cut through the souls
Falling down from the tones without leading innuendos
But you found inner peace for the moment
The moment was over in time
Then it's gone, the hit and run
The [incomprehensible] has a short life
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
Gonna tell you what you do to think
You practice what you preach
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach
'Cause a heart can't erase once it finds a place
To be warm and welcome, to be held in shelter
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
I'm in love with a girl, I'm in love with
Who knows me better
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Here at the party
everone's happy
Everyone's high
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is pass the jount
I think I like you
But you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling
So fresh and so clean
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to get the point
You think your name is pass the joint
You're still too amazing to ignore
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always tring something new
And then when you can't hold up
They're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
I'm juse too drunk to make my point
But you think your name is pass the joint
I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please
See, not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Then you say, "give 'em some"
Are you the victim
Of this experience
Child experiment
Teacher's predicament?
You're in THE SYSTEM
And if you don't walk the line
You can walk the plank
Your older brother (government)
Wants to control your mind
You're more useful blank
Medicate the kids
Feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain't fair play,
Just don't medicate me"
Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Unless you get 'em from
Someone who loves you
One who knows best for you
Paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it's above you
And you can't get on top
Cause it's high to climb,
You hear them saying,
"Don't make me call the cops"
Every other time
And there's a long line
Flowing from prescription aisles
Filed through legal means
So we can alter the child
For his protection
Tie him to extension cords,
I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you showered me with words of love
While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
It's not my style to lay it on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true
You know I, I trusted you
When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
You were just friends
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
Whenever I see you I need more
And I want you to stay 'til the end
One look at that smile and I'm all yours
Will you just smile at me again
I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me so
Good that no one else could hold your make-up
Because of you girl I never want to break up
The difference I'm feeling in my heart
Is the difference of loving or not
And under the stars and moon and sun
Is the perfect becoming of one
If I told you that I loved like an ace
Then I'd be lying 'cause I've made some mistakes
But I'm trying with perfect faith
When I let you in
I began to win
And now I'm just all gold
After all I've done
And the road I've run
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
Thank you baby
All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
I just want to thank you baby
I just want to
I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I don't need writing on the wall
I've felt it for so long
Am I even on your mind
Or are you now in...
Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think you cheated on me
I've been this love-sick before
I've felt just like this before
There was another just like you
I loved her for so long
But I had poison on my mind
And I drove her into...
Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think she cheated on me
I said I've had this sense before
But I left an open door
For this to walk into my life
And maybe I suspect too much
But it's just hard for me to trust
When I'm all wound up inside
I just drive you off and into...
Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I was never easy to please
There's no need to beg babe
That's my open pocket
You take the money from me
I can scrounge
Gave me a fever that will not come down
Oh babe!
You're a young woman cast aside
Ostracized
Left on the sidewalk of my lonely life
For the young lovers
Taking the hill
One plants a flag
While the other is killed
When the wine pours
We raise our cups
Young love is sacrifice
Young love is tough
Young love is innocent
Young love is us
What did I get into
Now everything is untrue
Oh, your eyes tell the lies
Of the lines that you said
And now that I love you
Oh, I wish we'd never met
Why wait?
Woman I'm taking risks here
That no one dared
And you're scared
Scared of the bottom
Afraid of the stairs
Someone
I saw someone
And fell in love with a face
And it scares me to let her go
Still want her even though
We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
The hammer may strike
Be dead on the ground
A net to my hand
A cross on his crown
We're done if, who we're undone
Finished if who we are incomplete
As one we are everything
We are everything we need
We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
What good is a life
With no one to share
The light of the moon
The honor of a swear?
We could try to live the way of which you speak
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love
Spread the word of consciousness you see
We are everything we need
We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still, we've got our hearts on safe
We've got our hearts on safe
Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss
Somewhere lost in emptiness
I hope you find this gift
I hope you find this gift
Well everybody hurts
That's where we're all the same
We drive on through the worst
And push on through the pain
I'm standing at your door
It's been a million miles
I'll be the first to say
I can't take anymore
(Chorus)
And that I want to be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I want to be where you are
And I'm willing to get there
There won't be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I want to be where you are
Tell me you're with me so far
So let this be the chance
The only one that counts
You're love will be my last
Until my life runs out
Until then I won't rest
Till then I will not stop
Untill I hear the words
All I need is a yes
(Chorus)
And that I want to be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I want to be where you are
And I'm willing to get there
There won't be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I want to be where you are
Tell me you're with me so far
I am amazed
And I'm clutching to each word you say
If only the space
Forgetting every mistake
That I made
I'm beginning to change
'Cause I feel all my fears slip away
And each look at you
Is a moment I choose to embrace
(Chorus)
And that I want to be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I want to be where you are
And I'm willing to get there
There won't be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I want to be where you are
Gavin DeGraw:
They all say it, all the ones who made it
Want to find the money plainly
But you're gonna have to fight
Colbie Caillat:
We don't think that the things that threw us off track
A little like a heart attack cause we didn't see the light
Uh-uh-uh I found
Chorus [Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat]:
We both know our own limitations
That's why we're strong
Now when we spend some time apart
Wheeling each-other out of the dark,
Cause we both know
Gavin DeGraw:
In this nightmare, forgiving me was bitter (?)
Say you're never giving up
Say you'll always try to be my helping hand
Try to be the one who understands
Even if things don't go as planned
We're still worth it all
Uh-uh-uh I found
Chorus [Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat]:
We both know our own limitations
That's why we're strong
Now when we spend some time apart
Wheeling each-other out of the dark,
Cause we both know
What mistake is (?)
Won't be scared now
If I change the made-out yeah
Change the made-out
They could take us
Why can't you see it?
Chorus:
We both know our own limitations
That's why we're strong
Now when we spend some time apart
Wheeling each-other out of the dark,
Cause we both know
We both know our own limitations
That's why we're strong
Now when we spend some time apart
Wheeling each-other out of the dark,
Say it by mine, carry waves of light
Caught in time, waitin' on the light
Then the winds, they go by faster than fireflies
Hold my hand, take my life
Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall
Waterfall, you're beautiful
Live by me, stand next to me
You're lovely, let nobody else see
And the tide is callin', shadows slowly fallin'
Waterfall, lovin' me
Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall
Waterfall, you're beautiful
All the terrible things I used to say
I'd like to throw them all away
Tell me your story, all about the sin
I want to get to know you again
Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall
Waterfall, you're beautiful
Beautiful, you're beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Waterfall, you're beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers
If you think you've got it like that
Find somebody better
You said I need fixing
You numbered the stages
But I won't be living in one of your cages
Open your mind and understand...
When you're hard on me
It's not what I need
We were meant to be untamed
Up on my feet
Born to run free
And there's nobody taming me
I've outgrown the narrow, protective container
Designed to be opened
With your childish behavior
'Cause you're not the critic of personal purpose
And I'm just not willing to do community service
I don't know why you lay it on...
You say - that I should lend a shoulder
Right now - 'cause your whole world is blowing up
Go ahead but I won't be your soldier
'Cause you're the one who started up
Look at all the people looking at she
floating round the room like she's living on the tv
we all end up watching her and then she thinks we're fans
but she isn't even famous she just acts like we should kiss her ass
-chorus-
She's so full of herself
I'd like to thank her for the show
and she'll thank the Academy
for recognizing what she already knows
who can satisfy
it's so hard to be society's dream
you might hate the type
but she amuses me
Tell her you could have her and she might owe you a kiss
she's another case of Leading Lady-itis
already talking to her is like talking to a wall
because she has so many day jobs, there's nothing really there at all
-chorus-
standing (standing)
waiting (waiting)
laughing (laughing)
fading (fading)
lady (lady)
She waited too long
and had to run home
and hang up the phone
cause time is too expensive dear
-chorus-
You might really be
The very best woman to ever suit me
But I can't expect you to see how I see
'Cause sometimes I don't see a thing
But personal pressure is making me guess
My time's running out as we're both getting dressed
I don't know who's body I'd rather feel pressed
But I cannot arrest on my thoughts
(Chorus)
'Cause we had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you're not gonna keep it
If you've got no uses
Then I'm gonna need it
And someone else
Is gonna need it too
While some of it's here
I'm wondering where did the rest disappear
The parts that I thought were the best are unclear
Or hiding there under your doubt
So maybe we'll call this a hard lesson leanred
But you're holding something that I'll need returned
If you need some time
I've got some to burn
But burning is just running thin
(Chorus)
'Cause we had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you're not gonna keep it
If you've got no uses
Then I'm gonna need it
And someone else
Is gonna need it too
What would the point be
If we let this thing drag out
Failing to accept
These impressions passed around
Oh, you and I
It's been a wild ride
And I wouldn't change at all
But I'm gonna let you know
(Chorus)
We had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you're not gonna keep it
If you've got no uses
Then I'm gonna need it
And someone else
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance, I just need a second chance
Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
I know that you'll understand and hope then you'll understand
I know that I was wrong but just don't walk away
Oh, won't you stay? I need you, need you here
When you're with me all others disappear
I'll follow close, so close I'll almost touch
I need your love but it never hurt this much
I don't wanna be someone who's searching
Finally met someone, I finally met someone
There's a couple things I'm still learning
Just gotta figure out but you need someone who knows
I came to you tonight but now you're just walking away
Oh, won't you stay? I need you, need you here
When you're with me all others disappear
I'll follow close, so close I'll almost touch
I need your love but it never hurt this much
Don't get caught up in mid feeling off course of day
You can take a minute 'fore you go slipping away
I know I took some time but I realized my mistake
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance
Oh, won't you stay? I need you, need you here
When you're with me all others disappear
I'll follow close, so close I'll almost touch
I need your love but it never hurt this much
I need your lovin' arms at night, but it never hurt this much
You don't have to be part of the problem
Verse (1)
la ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra (x2)
Where did all the people go?
they got scared when the lights went low.
I get you through it nice and slow,
when the world's spinning out of control.
Afraid of what they might lose
might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You can beg on what's the use
that's why it's called the moment of truth
Chorus
I'd get it if you need it,
I'll search if you don't see it,
you're thirsty, I'll be your rain,
you get hurt, I'll take your pain.
I know you don't believe it,
but i said it and i still mean it,
when you heard what i told you,
when you get worried I'll be your soldier.
Verse (2)
Funny when times get hard,
at the last moment when it's supposed to charge,
we are always on the longest yard,
oh they feel their feet get cold.
Hiding here, hiding there,
find them underneath the stairs,
people hiding everywhere,
trying to be still like a stone.
Repeat chorus.
Verse (3)
My aim is so true,
I wanna show you,
I'll try forever,
I'm never gonna say "surrender".
Repeat chorus
I'll be your soldier
I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I got troubles that I can't hide
So many and it's turning on the inside out
I know a woman's nature
Is nothing you can save here
Me, I run every time
We got two tickets but the one way
And I went with it so I can't say no
I lit a fuse I can't stop
I opened doors I can't lock
Still, I never meant to be this close
(Chorus)
And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Oh, she's ready
I'm not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time
So I told her get a head start
Like the last one I didn't have the heart
To tell her straight
I know how she'll recieve it
And I can't bear to see it
That's why I never meant to be this close
(Chorus)
And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Oh, she's ready
I'm not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time
And I hope she sees
It's not her, it's just me
And I'm so sorry
To be this close
(Chorus)
And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Oh, she's ready
I'm not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time
I'm close
And let it slip away
I keep dragging my feet till I finally miss the last train
Oh, she's ready
I'm not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time
I run every time
A flashlight
Isn't quite sunlight
But any light at all seems bright
When you're looking in the dark
A wet-dream
Isn't the real thing
It isn't really anything
But at least it makes a spark
And all is relative
Eveything is relative
Yes, it is
It's all about
The way we receive it
How much we believe it
Depending on the life you lead
If you lead it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care
And if you took
The threads in your closet
The cash in your wallet
The color of the skin in your blood
And how you got it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care
Pre-made
Isn't quite homemade
But pre-made with a home name
Is almost just the same
Your girlfriend
Isn't your best friend
But any friend is best when
You're freezing in the rain
And all is relative
Everything is relative
You're either underweight or you're unfit
Overdressed or underzipped
Too social or you're just too shy
Too depressed or you're too high
As night to day and day to night
Rich and poor and black and white
All is relative
Everything's relative
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
I'll lay it down
One time through
Gather round
Though this is a chore
So rich realize
I prefer poor advice
And showed her the door
This is your goodbye in case opportunity
Thought you were burning me down, but I'm finally free
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Oh the sun came up
Tell me, where'd I park?
We did it again
We had some fun, did some things, we got drunk
But I want it to end
'Cause I only give in when I get the need
I'm only coming around 'cause I get to leave
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Can't read, I can't see
Thinking 'bout the mess that you're in
Some things I couldn't see
What about the rest of you?
Well you're under my skin
But I can't let you in
Though you don't see scars
That's exactly what they are baby
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Baby baby, you're never gonna hurt me
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Yes I am, I gotta get out
If you miss me, if you miss me, if you miss me
Dreams
Thats where I have to go
To see your beautiful
Face anymore I stare at a picture of you
And listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
We both admit we had it good
But until then its alienation I know that much is understood,
And I realise..
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out, and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say I'm..
Not over you,
Not over you
Damn, damn girl you do it well, and I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell, but still your magnificent
I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game, even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out, and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say I'm..
Not over you
And if I had the chance to re-new
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back, on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then..
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out, and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say I'm..
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you
I wake up, in the middle of the night, from a dream, that is troubling me
The affair has been a mission of two, and if it doesn't hurt me, it'll have to hurt you.
So I sweat, and I toss and turn, I can't relax, is this a heart-attack?
What is true, that only two things exist, and I have difficulties, getting mad over this.
You know why! You know why!
Chorus:
What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear, there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love
So I drive, down a line on the road with a heart that's been torn from the socket
There you were, the bottle you did bring, I only needed a sip, but I drank the whole thing
You know why! Because!
Chorus:
What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear, there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love
Ooh you can do what you want to and you will see
You will feel, love is real
Time will tell, it always does.
Out-chorus: What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear that there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love
What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear that there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love
What you want, what you need, baby
You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Hail to the light that my baby watches me
In the darkness of the window
I can hardly get to sleep
Wish for the hour that
The nighttime soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us
To a day our souls can last
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Situation candlelight
Enough to see the bits around you
But it's never very bright
Stare at a memory
You, through the grapevine, heard the truth
It's good to learn from your mistakes
But that only works in youth
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all
Mountin, the trail, but you've got it in sight
Sometimes the only way is jumping
I hope you're not afraid of heights
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
And to face all of the undoings
Still isn't more than I can bear
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
Love, love
It's all been good to me
It's all been good to me
Love has reason
There's a meaning to the world
No matter what happens, I see you on the other side
There's just too many distractions, waiting for the perfect time
I know you're alright, by the friends you keep
It'll all be fine, you depend on me
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
Just under the radar, a thread approach is slipping in
On another stormy morning, another issue could begin
But you heard these lines and these echoing
You ignore them all till your wedding day
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
When you look and tell me love, just return
I'll be waiting here for you, and you do
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover, be strong while I'm gone
Lover be strong, lover be strong
Lover be strong, lover be strong, oh
Thinking bout' the water for a sign,
waiting for the moment to arise.
I now that no man could ever fly,
just lay me on the water.
colors paint great pictures in my dreams,
shinning of the rust that I have seen.
but I dont need to show them to the world,
just lay me on the water.
And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.
oh candy seems to roll off of my tounge,
I view all good citizens as one.
but I don't feel like leading some campaign,
just lay me on the water.
And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.
A gentle on the wing where I want to be
listen to the breeze flow
lay me on the water
And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.
Lay me on the water,
lay me on the water,
lay me on the water,
Summer is lost now, the frost, it's closin' in
To the cold gospel dollar a poor man walks in sin
I can't get no entrance, the doors all in rows
I pray into the distance, let me out of these heavy clothes
I beg, Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement, the laws are learned
So hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
When a sister called up, said how long you've broken down?
I said there too much ice around here to find no solid ground
While I just squeeze a season from this paper bag
I pray to the burnin' tires and wrap my feet in rags
Singin', Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement, the laws are learned
It's so hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
The skies empty, the street is sweatin' tears
Communion at the station for a million grindin' years
Well, I'm ridin' out this century with the harvest engine sing
From the church of mercenaries to a naked virgin spring
I'm singin', Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement, the laws are learned
It's so hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
So hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get burned
Belief, makes things real
Makes things feel, feel alright
Belief, makes things true
Things like you, you and I
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body, with the wrath of a God
Oh, you stood by me
Belief builds from scratch
Doesn't have to relax, it doesn't need space
Long live the queen and I'll be the king
In the color of grace
Oh, tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body, with the wrath of a God
Oh, you stood by me, belief
I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do, it's the least I can do
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife, in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body, with the wrath of a God
Oh, you stood by me
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife, in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body, with the wrath of a God
Oh, you stood by me and I'll stand by my belief
I will stand by my belief
I will stand by my belief, belief
Like you stood by me
I don't need to be anything other than a prison guards son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars, everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by impostors, everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis, everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed? I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone and now I'm telling everybody
I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be uh uh uh anything other than me
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be anything, anything other than me
Fool you made the girl fall in love
You said those beautiful things
She thought you spoke things you mean
Caress her skin like it's glass
She hears your voice making plans
And she just breaks in your hands
You don't wanna see somebody beg
As you feel her heart surrender you begin to fall
How do you say that something's through
When it never even started, at least not for you
She's dreaming back on the past
Every opinion agreed
Doesn't know what to believe
It must have been for a cause
Our lives have so many doors
Don't think about him anymore
But it was the kiss, it took me away
It's like he knew that I am fragile
He handled me like glass
And knowing this I know that he'll get his
But I don't want the man to suffer
Not the way I am
'Cause deep down I know that he's glass too
And it really doesn't matter until it's happenin' to you
Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon, oh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rise look what's over me
Oh chariot your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me, give me your strength
Remember seeking moon's rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There is a living promised land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind and cover me
Bringing back more than a memory
Oh chariot your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me, give me your strength
You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup it's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly
Oh chariot your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me give me your strength
Give me your strength
Chariot
Give me your strength
Chariot
Give me your strength
Chariot
Give me your strength
Chariot
Give me your strength
(Give it to me)
Chariot
Give me your strength
(Give it to me)
Chariot
Give me your strength
(Give it to me)
Chariot
Give me your strength
Oh chariot
I was born by the river
In a little tent
O just like the river i've been runnin ever since
its been a loooong long time comin but i know
change gonna come
o yes it will
its been tooooo hard livin but i'm afraid to diiiie
cuz i dont know whats up there beyond the sky
its been a long long time comin but i know
change gonna come wooah yes it will
i go to the movie and i go downtown
somebody keep tellin me dont hang around
its been a long loooooong time comin but i know
that change gonna come o yes it will
When i go to my brother i say brother help me please
but he winds up not givin me. back down on my knees beggin pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaase! yeah! ive been
i couldnt last that long now i think im able to carry on.
Remember the day you came to me
And said you found the truth
And I turned away and told you
To take another look
The city you see is going numb
I know you trust
But something's wrong
(Chorus)
We have our lives to bare
Our bags still burdedned but
We just buy and wear
The plastic version of love, hope
Understanding
We can't survive on candy
A red carpet ride can take your mind away from anything
And I wanna die at every mention of “celebrity”
Like who's doing who
Just how and where
Long as it's not you
I just don't care
Chorus yay
(Chorus)
We have our lives to bare
Our bags still burdened but
We just buy and wear
The plastic version of love, hope
Understanding
We can't survive on candy
Running far away from all your serious concerns
I know you've learned to use your fairytales
It gets you through the hurt
You're falling
We're falling
And there's just no climbing back
So I'm stolen
I'm stolen
While I'm under full attack
(Chorus)
We have our lives to bare
Our bags still burdedned but
We just buy and wear
The plastic version of love, hope
Understanding
