I've been down, I've been out
I did it all on my own
Seems growing up
Didn't take long
I feel strange, I feel good
I feel better with you
You've changed, you should
Cause I think I did too
Made my mistakes
I did a few things right
But it will take what it will take
Baby, that's life
You cannot change what you do not own
Everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong
You get pretty damn close
It moves fast and it scares me
I close my eyes, oh but I still see
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are
I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
In the distance is a line defining where I've been
Rhe state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red
I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said
What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
He bends his breath around my name
And I am humbled
I feel small and plain
But his arms are angels by his side
You need not ask if they're open, just how wide
His lips are day
And his skin is night
Oooh, and with our love we conjure up the twilight
His fingers are music to my soul
And I feel his song play everywhere I go
My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day
I thankfully lay me down
Oh, my love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry
He loves with rhythm
And paints with flame
He comes in pieces with no name
I won't need answers, I'll just know
Cause I've read the sonnets about his soul
He can be ordinary in the best ways
And still dance like a poet
Through every word he says
My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day I thankfully
Lay me down
My love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry
All that I never knew
Can you see me now
All that I never said
Can you see me now
He makes me crazy
He makes me cruel
Oh, but I pray he makes me anything
But a fool
Oooh, my love

There's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
And it's clear, this conversation ain't doing a thing
'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight all the same songs
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes
Whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading away, am I gone?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
Deep city lights, girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
And there's nothing here to hold on to
In the morning it comes
Heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun
But I don't even run from rain
Beating out of my chest
Heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew
You were the air in my breath
Filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess
Intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this
Ooh, and then the storm can come
You feels just like the sun
Just like the sun
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'll follow you into the light
Never mind what I knew
Nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you
I can do without
No one knows where ends
How it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'll follow you into the light
Let the world come rushing
Come down hard, come crushing
All I need is right here beside me
And all the love I'm swearing
Take my love and wear it
Over your shoulders
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say, "Be alright"
It comes calling in the evening
When the temperature is dropping out
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now
There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet
And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone
You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back
I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone
And if I only worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down
Boy, I could do without
Do without, do without
A night of the bad dreams, sad things
Tell me what that means
I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
The monsters aren't real
You're making me feel
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up onboard with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making masks
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
All the colors
Of the rainbow
Hidden 'neath my skin
Hearts have colors
Don't we all know?
Red runs through our veins
Feel the fire burning up
Inspire me with blood
Of blue and green
I have hope
Inside is not a heart
(Mm mm mm m m mm mm mm)
I wish I were pretty
I wish I were brave
If I owned this city
Then I'd make it behave
And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear this
That's what I wish, I'd do ye-eah
Ye-ea-ah
Ye-ea-eah
Ye-ea-eah
If my hands could hold them, you'd see
I'd take all these secrets in me
And I'd move and mold them to be
Something I'd set free
I wanna darken in the skies
Open the flood gates up
I wanna change my mind
I wanna be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I wanna cry until the end of time
I wanna let the rain come down
Make a brand new gorund
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Tonight
Hold on to worry
So tight
It's safe in here right next to my heart
And I'll shout at the top of my voice
Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice!
And I always felt it before
That the world was filled with much more
Then a drowning soul
I'll learn to be
I just need the rain to remind me
I wanna darken in the skies
Open the flood gates up
I wanna change my mind
I wanna be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I wanna cry until the end of time
I wanna let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
I wanna let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Mm alright
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rian come down
I wanna let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
On me, yea
Let the rain come down
make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Word came through in a letter
One of us changing our minds
You won't need to guess who since I usually do
Not send letters to me that are mine
I told him I saw this coming
That I'd practically packed up my things
I was glad at the time that I said I was fine
But all honesty knows I wasn't ready, no
And so here we go, bluebird
Back to the sky on your own
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Ready to fly, you and I
Here we go
Here we go
This pair of wing's worn and rusted
From too many years by my side
They can carry me, swear to be sturdy and strong
But see, turning them on still means goodbye
And so here we go, bluebird
Gather your strength and rise up
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Ready to fly, you and I
Here we go
Here we go
Goodbye
Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Laying down a law that I live by
Well, maybe next time
I've got a thick tongue
Brimming with the words that go unsung
I simmer then I burn for a someone
The wrong one
And I tell myself to let the story end
That my heart will rest in someone else's hand
But my 'Why not me?' philosophy began
And I said
Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday
Maybe
It's a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me where I'm hurting, you make me
Hang from your hands
But no more
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I'm aching at the thought of you, what for?
That's not me anymore
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be
But I dare you, darlin', just you wait and see
But this time not for you, but just for me
I said
Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday
Say it's coming soon
Someday without you
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you
Wave goodbye to me
I won't say I'm sorry
I'll be alright
Once I find the other side of someday
Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that what we do
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
I'm not scared of you now
Or so i say
There's no reason to run
Although i may
I'm not as sure as i seem
This much i know
What does it mean you leave and i follow
I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside
Keep my distance i tried
No use
But no matter the miles
I'm back to you
I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside
Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
What it looks like here on my morningside
Look back don't you dare let me start to do that
I don't care if the things that i have
Only make me afraid to lose i
Need to let go
Need to want to keep letting you know
That we both have a reason to follow
Long as we let this lead i'm barely breathing
I try to forget what you do to me but then you do it over again
I could rage and you'd bring rain
Til you get to me on my morningside
Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it.
Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
Here's a simplification of everything we're going though
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.
Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.
You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing.
You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
And I just pretend I'm listening
Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won't bind.
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.
Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it's so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it's too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store
'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame
She says, "None for you, dear Prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away
Than have you keep me from dreaming"
'Cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing, next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again
'Cause what else could you do with seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
Says, "Would you meet me at midnight?"
The tall blond lets out a cry of despair
Says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere
Keep away from the windows"
'Cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing, next best thing
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing, I hold my head down
And I break these walls 'round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing
I don't care, I don't care
You worry 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
Spent her whole life being graded
On the sanctity of patience
And a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending
And a better happy ending
'Cause I don't want the next best thing
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key
Ohh baby I get by,
(By with a little help from my friends)
All I need is my buddies
(Try with a little help from my friends)

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
It rolls in from the sea
My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so i have been told.
They say were buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.
Ill be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
'Cause somebody told me
That's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where
Dreamers should go
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
And tattoo my body with every Broadway show.
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.
Gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
Gonna sell my house and cross the border
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
Gonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds
And cross the border
And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore.
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.
It's always just around the corner or you're
On your way to somewhere
That is bigger or better...
If you could only get there
It's never your fault you can't start your
Own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you to the fortune you seek
I'm gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean.
'Cause somebody told me there were
Cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
I'll never realize...no
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
Next stop, Vegas please.
Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want
Is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible
And it isn't something I need
'til you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
When it looks so good in your hand
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
Old habits are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes
And I don't know why I must ask
For the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass
But I had bitten too soon
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
Now, I've given in, why fight it when
I'm resigned to simply live in your wake
Your wake
Heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
No no no no
Bound for the blessing
You wouldn't see it coming
I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone
You were an island
No one would dare to tread upon
I came in like the wise men
Ask you to take my gift of love
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Careful confessions
Can't scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time
Losing my patience
Getting acquainted with the edge
Ready and waiting
Happy to stand convicted
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
I can't change you
When you won't change yourself
See you slowly becoming someone else
I can't blame you for the strength you lack
Scared to give me what you may not get back
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
No words
My tears won't make any room for 'em, oh
And it don't hurt
Like anything I've ever felt before
This is no broken heart
No familiar scars
This territory goes uncharted
Just me
In a room sunk down in a house in a town
And I don't breathe
Though I never meant to let it get away from me
Now I have too much to hold
Everybody has to get their hands on gold
And I want uncharted
Stuck under the ceiling
I made, I can't help the feeling I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how
To get started
It's all uncharted
Each day
I'm countin' up the minutes 'til I get alone
'Cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault
But I'm so low
Never knew so much I didn't know
Oh, everything is uncharted
I know I'm getting nowhere
When I only sit and stare like I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how
To get started
It's all uncharted
Jump start my kaleidoscope heart
I love to watch the colors fade
They may not make sense
But they sure as hell made me
I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down
I'll take in flame over burning out
Compare
Where you are to where you wanna be
And you'll get nowhere
I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how
To get started
I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how
To get started
From time to time I talk to you
As if you could hear me speak.
The breath of me but words of you
You take the one away, and the other still makes me weak.
Every now and then I start to laugh
Thinking of the last time you kissed me free.
Still reeling from the aftermath
Of the savory storm of you and me
It's a simple world I know the way it works. I know I'm not the first
[CHORUS:]
From time to time I turn to you
But I won't let it show like you want me to.
My head held so high; I can hardly see
Wouldn't notice if you were turned to me.
If you were turned to me.
I hope you can understand
Because we've all been there some
When you're hanging from someone else's hand
The moment of letting go will leave your fingertips numb.
It's a simple world. I know the tables turn.
And I'll close the book of you word after word.
[CHORUS]
If you were turned to me I wouldn't think twice to turn the tacit hands of time back to when you were mine.
But it's a paradox of chains and locks I keep on looking forward when I walk so I see almost nothing at all...
Except when from...
Pardon me, my mistake
Thought it my turn for a break
But since the rain loves my face
I’ll just let it be.
Long since gave up on long walks
To avoid the long talks
Lately the silence won’t stop
Talking at me
CHORUS
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
I tread water
I tread water
Even tried my fair share
Thought the devil may care
But I called him up, he’s not there.
What does that mean?
CHORUS
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
I tread water
I tread water
Thought this life would lead
Far from Beauty’s Beast
Well, I know at least
You can’t count me out
Because I’m used to the water now.
CHORUS
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
Never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weight
This burden may be more than I would like to bear but still it’s less than I can take
I tread water
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I've ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
You're a toxin
Wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic
Than drugs or a drink
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
No I won't let him in, under my skin
He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic
Just a festering sore
Who will never be more if I don't let him
That guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
'Cause that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
And I'll talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
Like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
But I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal
That guy's an asshole
And that girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
And so I surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fine, still can hurt
Whatever. I hate to think I have ruined the day
You're the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
You're a toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink
That guy's an asshole
And that girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
And I won't let him in
Under my skin
He's a sad sack of shit
It's pathetic
Just a festering sore
That will never be more than that
If I don't let him
That guy's an asshole
And that girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Ayyy
Ehhh
Saturday
Empty room
Filled with people
Don't mean a thing
You and I
Holding hands
Nobody knows
Nobody understands
I don't care for sunlight
It only means it's over
I'm in no mood for that
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
Say say that we'll be alright
Baby we stay tonight
My hands are shaking
This is a complicated love for me
Keep your eyes closed
You've seen it baby
You've seen where this goes
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
Say that we'll be alright
If we stay tonight
Gonna feel it baby
Ohhh
I don't wanna cry
I know we'll get to tomorrow
And say goodbye
That's why I ask you for tonight
Stay tonight
Don't come morning
Don't come light
They may be lies
But say that we'll be alright
(Say that we'll be alright)
Say that we're gonna be alright
Ooh...
Since you went away,
You can color me, colour me, colour me, colour me in grey
So I'm working on the words I want to say
I never knew, never knew, never knew your name
You're just my soldier, babe
You lost track of the days
They come and they go, and they come and they go
There's no way that I could keep up with it
And I pray
And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me
Ten thousand miles away
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold ya
And make it alright
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told ya
That you're my soldier
But goodnight
You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time
Till we're staring up at the same sky
And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line
Till my soldier's mine
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold ya
And make it alright
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told ya
That you're my soldier
Goodnight
I don't care how long it takes
I'm not going anywhere, love (no)
You see there
This distance only makes me
Say it over and over till it gets to you
My soldier (ooh)
Hey soldier
I'm missing your life
Wish I could hold ya
And make it alright
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told ya
You're my soldier
Goodnight
Sending you my love and a little light
I never told ya
That you're my soldier
Goodnight (Goodnight)
Goodnight (Goodnight)
Goodnight, Goodnight
Goodnight, Goodnight
Holding my breath
Last one I've got left
'Til I see you
Deliver my heart with the
Pieces and parts of me left
Every last day seemed to carry the weight a lifetime
Watch from the ground
As the gold fluttered down from the sky
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of view
Of view
Inches away from you
Scared what I'll take from you, darling
I can live with your ghost
If you say that's the most I'll get
Darkness to light
Move from day into night to be near you
Still, here I stand
I am sinking like sand in your sea
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
Until you come in and out
Of view
Of view
Never you mind where the evening should find us
Together, distance can't take what's hidden here
Safe in my chest
I'll wait for the day
When we finally say now or never
'Til then I'll be here wanting more
As I settle for atmosphere
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry
I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
Playing for love
Playing for keeps
Playing for light come down
And set me free
Playing to say
Playing for change
Playing for peace
Brother, Brother
Come walk with me
Show me the tops of the canyons above the sea
And say look around you
This kingdom’s wide
To carry the weight of this world with pride
I am humbled
And I’m confused
There is no mountain I’ve found here that I can move
You say sweet love
Your heart is great
So will you follow it closely and let it show you your
fate
And keep playing for love
Playing for keeps
Playing for light come down
And set me free
Playing to say
Playing for change
Playing for peace
Darling, Darling
Come take my hand
See that no border, no boundary can hold you in
And let loose your voices
And raise them up
Remember to let through the music it helps to continue
to carry us
Playing for love
And playing for keeps
Playing for light come down
Set us free
Playing to say
Playing for change
Playing for peace
Ooh ooh
I am playing for love
Playing for keeps
I’m playing for light come down
And set me free
I’m playing to say
Playing for change
Playing for change
Playing for change
Babe will you save me a dance by the river,
Moonlight is serving us well,
She makes the whole world silhouette
Makes it flicker like film on a strip
Don’t let the sadness in yet to react as if
Somehow it’s all come and gone
Let’s pretend we’re all healed up and happy and moved
Tonight let the moon come shine
Let us remain you and I
Tell the sun not to rise
For the darkest time
Moonlight keep us steady
Give me one more night then I’m ready
To let go, to know we are only shadows.
Babe I’m so sorry to ask
I’m ashamed but tonight I just can’t give you up
I shackled myself to the past and my will has gone
missing
Let’s call our shadow selves out for the evening
And watch them remember our love
Tomorrow will come and I know they’ll be leaving
That our time is up
Tonight let the moon come shine
Let us remain you and I
Tell the sun not to rise for the darkness lies
Moonlight keep us steady
Give me one more night then I’m ready
To let go, to know we will are only shadows, only
Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices....
Could I be wrong?
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.
The earth that is the space between,
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
Suicide...oh I wish I knew
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
(Verse)
Once upon another time
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
Turned a key and took a drive
Was free
I recall the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe
(Chorus)
Just yellow lines, and tire marks
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood, was where I was
To be
(Verse)
No enemies to call my own
No porch light on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free
(Verse)
Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind, me
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle lights
I make my wish but mostly, I believed
(Chorus)
In yellow lines and tire marks
sun-kissed skin in handle bars
And where I stood, was where I was
To be
(Outro)
Once upon another time
Decided nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder
Even I know that
Made room for me it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusualy hard to hold on to
Blank stairs at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it
Make a break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
And all you have is leavin'
And I need a better reason to write you a love song today
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
My heavy heart
Sinks deep down under you and your
Twisted words your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello
To high and dry
And then sleep
To please you
They may think that I need this too
I'm tryin' to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it
Make a break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
And all you have is leavin'
And I need a better reason to write you a love song today
Promise me
You'll leave the light on
to help me see
Daylight my life on
I believe there's a way
You can love me because I'll say
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it
Make a break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song?!
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it
Make a break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is no where in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe I'll walk the 7 seas
When I believe that's there's a reason to write you a love song today
Todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yeah!
There's too many things that i haven't done yet
Too many sunsets
I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now
I'd have learned something
I made up my mind when i was a young girl
I've been given this one world
I won't worry it away
But now and again i lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then Love comes in
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i'll be happy to follow you Love
I do what i can wherever i end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause i've had my fiar share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
And i'm better for that
Sing how far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles and i'll be happy to
Follow you Love
Red letter day and i'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God don't know
If it's helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
Cause i can't keep waiting to live
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i'll be happy to yeah
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God don't know if it's helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles and i'll be happy to
Follow you Love
There's too many things i haven't done yet
Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?
Baby, please, I'm well versed
In how I might be cursed
I don't need it articulated
Stand in line wasting
All of your time just to hate me
Every dime gone to ways
You can find that might bait me
And drag me down, sight set proudly
Bring me to the ground see
You love to be somebody's enemy
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
Locked and loaded
You're practically floating away now
In your fortress you feel like
You're more or less safe now
But let me say I don't mean harm
Oh, but, baby, you'd be charming if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
Never mind how you've rationed your time
And the battle is underway
Maybe times are gonna change
Don't just hide in the silence behind
What you've really been trying to say
What a skill, baby, aiming to kill me
With words you don't mean
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
I don't care if the house is packed, or the strings of light are broken.
I don't care if the gifts are wrapped, or there's nothing here to open.
Love is not a toy
And no paper will conceal it.
Love is simply joy that I'm home.
We sing ooo
Let love lead us.
Love is Christmas.
Why so scared that you'll mess it up? When perfection keeps you haunted.
All we need is your best my love. That's all anyone ever wanted.
Love is how we do.
Let no judgment overrule it.
Love I look to you, and I sing;
Ahahahahahahaha
Let love lead us.
Love is Christmas.
Let love lead us.
(Verse)
Tell the truth, no lies
I can't take it
Burned your breath, just this once
Run your mouth
I bet I can catch it
You sound just like a Judas
(Chorus)
And if there's anything I learned
That would keep me standing
If I take you and your word
Than I'm empty handed
And tell my gut I should be burning brandy
So I can see you lie to me
I wish the air would come in red
When you breathing
And so I could have seen it coming
Look in my eyes when you say you love me
So I can see you lie to me
(Verse)
Lost be found
I'm a bloodhound born for seeking
Pour a pray must we die
Soon it will grow
But your act drives a beating
And now it's all off far
(Chorus)
If there's anything I learned
That would keep me standing
If I take you and your word
Than I'm empty handed
Tell my gut should be burning brandy
So I can see you lie to me
I wish the air would come in red
When you breathing
And so I could have seen it coming
Look in my eyes when you say you love me
He was a good man he had a good heart with a good soul
A good thing we had so I thought but I was wrong
He let me down by never letting on
He was as good as gone.
He had a good game he held a good hand played the cards that
He should play so you understand why I lost
He had that thing I never put my finger on
I put my whole hand and good God, yeah.
La da da da da da da
CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren't so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don't know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don't leave
your hat on my door you don't live here no more
The gig is up, game is through, And you lose.
So Relax. And settle in
To my story about one foolish King and his sin
He had a Queen with a castle worth coming in
Everyone said so but he's no good at listening
It was one day and queenie's in a land far away
And the good ol' King Restless is aching to play
With the next best thing and the girl after that
But it doesn't matter now, Cause I'm not coming back
Not coming back.
CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren't so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don't know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don't leave
your hat on my door you don't live here no more
The gig is up, game is through, And you lose.
You said I could stand next to you if I wanted to want the best for you
But I don't so you make your next mistake on your own
You can tell me to forgive you but don't ask twice
don't want to see the part of me that's made of fire
and ice, talk of love talk of pain talk of fear all I hear is goodbye,.
CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren't so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don't know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don't leave
your hat on my door you don't live here no more
I've been winding
Down the same road for days
I've seen the coastline
Going both ways
Some days are perfect
And some simply could not get worse
Some days it's all worth it
And some days this life is nothing but a curse
And I wonder who will break first
I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love from the inside out
From the inside out
Little spirit
Now don't you desert me now
I know I don't always hear it
You don't always speak so loud
And I'm not willing
To simply lay down my soul for this
It may be all that I'm giving
But take my love for what it is
I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak and my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love from the inside out
Take your best shot
Here I stand, heart in hand
And fearless I'm not
But I am what I am
And I know what I'm not
And I know enough to know it's never
Gonna be much more than weather
You can't drive me away
When it's only rain
On the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
From the inside out
I am small
From the inside out
Love
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But, whichever way I go I come back to the place you are
But, all my instincts - they return
The grand facade so soon will burn
Without a noise - without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Love love love love love
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass they pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But, whichever way I go I come back to the place you are
But, all my instincts - they return
The grand facade so soon will burn
Without a noise - without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes - the light, the heat
I am complete in your eyes
See the doorways of a thousand churches in your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searching
In Your Eyes
Love love love love love
I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted, and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
But, all my instincts - they return
The grand facade so soon will burn
Without a noise - without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes - the light, the heat
I am complete in your eyes
See the doorways of a thousand churches
I will not be that complete
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Love
I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt
I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too
Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go of you
I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do
Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go of you
Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go of you
Does anybody know
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't wanna let go
Let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't wanna let go, let go, let go
I don't wanna let go, let go of you
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down
You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
I could use another cigaretteBut don't worry, daddy, I'm not addicted yetOne too many drinks tonightAnd I miss you like you were mine
All your stormy words have barely brokenAnd you sound like thunder, though you've barely spokenOh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God'Cause a clear sky just wouldn't feel right
He's taken and leaving but I keep believingThat he's gonna come round soon
You may be my final match'Cause I chase everythingWhen you play throw and I play catch
Never took much to keep me satisfiedBut all the bullshit you feed meYou miss me, you need meThis hungry heart will not subside
He's taken and leaving but I keep believingThat he's gonna come round soon until I see him againI'm staying, believing, that it won't be deceivingAnd he's gonna come round
Well, I may seem naive if I cry as you leaveLike I'm just one more tortured heartThese cracks that I show as I'm watching you goAren't tearing me apart
I may seem naive if I cry as you leaveLike I'm just one more tortured heartThese cracks that I show as I'm watching you goAren't tearing me apart
The angels said I'd smile todayWell, who needs angels anyway
He's taken, leaving but I keep believingThat he's gonna come round soonUntil I see him againI'm staying, believing that it won't be deceivingAnd he's gonna come round soon
He's taken and leaving but I keep believingThat he's gonna come round soonUntil I see him againI'm staying believing, it won't be deceivingThat he's gonna come round soon
California in the evening
Rush past the water
Get me over the great state line
The skies electrical it's screaming
Trying to find the morning
Hell I'd settle for the other side
Don't bother counting up the days boy
Numbers gettin' bigger by the minute and I'm so tired
But I can honestly say boy
Oh unless you're in it I don't want it so here it comes
Fire
Over the horizon keeping my eyes on
Wire
All the way in Carolina
I won't go home until I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't ya know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina
Don't feel the summer like I used to
Oh you brought thunder, tugged me under, its all your fault
Want me to let you leave do you?
Well I never minded aftermath
And this is what happens to a
Liar
Miles on the highway
Nothing to stop me
Until I'm done
Coming for you Carolina
Won't go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't you know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina
I don't mind the rain it suits me
Makes the pain pursuit seem
Less unruly
It's been a good night
And one hell of a drive
Coming for you Carolina
Won't go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't you know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina
Leaving me for Carolina
(Verse)
Hold my breath and I'll count to ten
I'm the paper and you're the pen
You fill me in, you are permanent
And you'll leave me to dry
I'm a writer and she's the muse
I'm the one that you always choose
She will falter and gift her blame
And it's starts all over again
Again again again
(Chorus)
She is bright lights and cityscapes
I'm white lies and careful gates
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say maybe it will last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You'd never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I'm gonna love you
So right
I wouldn't need a second chance
(Chorus)
Shield your eyes from the truth I am
Tell me why it'll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don't want you to burn
Never mind what I said before
I don't want any less anymore
You are carbon and I'm the flame
I will rise and you will
Remain
(Chorus)
For bright lights and cityscapes
And loud sighs, and masquerades
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
Say maybe it will last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You'd never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
Car is park,bags are packed
But what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch
The one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone
And now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghost that decide
If the fire inside still burns
All I have,all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breathe
I am left hoping someday
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Open up next to you
And my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that
Was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head,break my heart
Built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear
Is a love I can't carry anymore
All I have,all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breathe
I am left hoping someday
I'll breathe again
It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?
All I have,all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching
All I have,all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breathe
I am left hoping someday
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
There'll be girls across the nation
That will eat this up babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it,
No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again my love love love love.
Love love love love.
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love
Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love
We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us
But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up
And get started
At keeping your part of the bargain aw please
Little darlin'
You're killing me sweetly with love love love love
Love love love love
Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with her back
Against the wall.
You meant to make me happy make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here.
Love you're all I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
So give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong, be this many times
My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
That I could have sworn I'd heard him say it
Ten thousand times, oh, if only I had been listening
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always between the lines
Between the lines
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
Stand in the center of it all
Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and me always between the lines
You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does
The one that’s always making everybody fall in love
You see…girl you’re a lot like me.
She rearranges all the light in the room so you’re always in the
shadows,
Well that’s what it feels like to you…
Baby I’ve been there too.
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt,
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl.
Take it from me that you have to see it first.
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes,
To make him want to be with you.
Let me remind you one more time…
That just maybe, you’re beautiful but you just cant see.
So why don’t you trust me,
They’ll see it too you beautiful girl you
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else,
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf.
Well okay, I’ve seen it done that way.
Just in case nobody ever comes through,
Riding in to come to your rescue.
You still have a chance,
You don’t have to be asked to dance.
I know how much you’ve been dying to say,
Look how much everybody loves me.
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes,
To make him want to be with you.
Let me remind you one more time…
That just maybe, you’re beautiful but you just can’t see.
So why don’t you trust me
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watchin' the ships roll in
And then I'll watch 'em roll away again
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time, ooh ooh
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I've got nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change, no no
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'm gonna stay the same, ooh
Sittin' here restin' my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, yeah
I'm gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'ma sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay!
