Fars Province (Persian: استان فارس Ostān-e Fārs pronounced [fɑː(r)s]), originally spelled Pars (پارس), is one of the 31 provinces and known as Cultural Capital of Iran. It is in the south of the country and its center is Shiraz. It has an area of 122,400 km². In 2006, this province had a population of 4.57 million people, of which 61.2% were registered as urban dwellers, 38.1% villagers, and 0.7% nomad tribes.

Fars or Pars is the original homeland of the Persian people. The native name of the Persian language is Fârsi or Pârsi. Persia and Persian both derive from the Hellenized form Πέρσις Persis of the root word Pârs. The Old Persian word was Pârsâ.
The word Fars is derived from 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿 Pârsa, the Old Persian name for Persia and its capital, Persepolis. Fars is the Arabized version of Pârs, as Arabic has no [p] phoneme.

I've got to find a way to us
And now outside the driving rain
It keeps me in when I know I must
Find a way to get through the pain
I've got to find a way to us
Well I want you, but I want you to believe in me
My life is now or never
I want you to hold your body close to me
I feel alive together
Your eyes they tell of the deepest places
And I need a man that I can trust
So drink up now for the celebration of finding a way to
Well I want you, but I want you to believe in me
My life is now or never
I want you to hold your body close to me
I feel alive together
It took so long for you to see
What you wanted us to be
It took so long for you to see
Well I want you, but I want you to believe in me
My life is now or never
I want you to hold your body close to me
I feel alive together
Slow moving train
Hey, little boy, would you carry me?
My head's too heavy for my two feet
The day is done but we've just begun
So wait just a minute, take it from the top
'Cause when it gets going, it may never stop
It's always been me and him
But I'm so tired, yes, I'm so tired
And I want you to know that cigarettes blow
Don't do it for me no more
You must understand
No woman, no man
Will ever decide who I am
It just feels right to feel right
Hey, little boy, that can't you see
The fire inside that is burning me?
Ah, if the dawn, I will be gone
So take in your arms all the love we made
And throw it in fire with the debt we paid
It's always been me and him
But I'm so tired, yes, I'm so tired
And I want you to know that cigarettes blow
Don't do it for me no more
You must understand
No woman, no man
Will ever decide who I am
It just feels wrong to feel wrong
Hey, little boy, would you carry me?
My heart's too heavy for my two feet
Well, I've been lying here
All alone
Wondering if you are
Ever coming home
I left on the light
By the bed
In case, you could come to call
What is wrong with me?
I said, to myself
I never really thought
It would last
And here I am now
Fading fast
But I will not sleep tonight
No, I could not sleep tonight
Where would you go?
What would you do?
If it wasn't me, it was you
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
If it wasn't me, it was you
If it wasn't me, it was you
If only you could feel
My heart race
And see the light
On my face
Then you would know the truth
And I would know the truth
Then maybe you don't like
What I brought
Well maybe I am not
What you thought
But don't worry
You are not
What I thought you were
…either
Where would you go?
What would you do?
If it wasn't me, it was you
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
If it wasn't me, it was you
If it wasn't me, it was you
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how thick your head is
There's always something
More to learn
Even if you just want to quit
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
If it wasn't me, it was you
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
Where would you go?
And what would you do?
This problem is a decade old.
My longing has been oversold.
I've been repaid a thousand fold
But still I wait for more.
A gentle pull, you bring me down.
A hazy gloom, my glimmer drowns.
Hands will ache and hearts will pound
At my chamber door.
And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight.
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why.
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be
So I can just know you'll be
You'll be alright.
Forgive me, take my back to sleep.
Cling to me but let me weap.
A gentle spirit starts to creep.
Now it's running fast.
And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight.
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why.
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be
So I can just know you'll be
You'll be alright.
Tangled in the hearts of men,
Pondering my deadly sin.
Roll me over; breathe me in.
Live on me for a while.
And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight.
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why.
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be
So I can just know you'll be...
And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight.
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why.
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be
So I can just know you'll be
You'll be alright.
You'll be alright.
We'd be so less fragile
If we're made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
if we built an armour
For our tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we strive to feel
And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away
You say you want to know her like a lover
And undo her damage, she'll be new again
Soon you'll find that if you try to save her
It will renews her anger
You will never win
And you want three wishes:
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away
You want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And a clean conscience
And all it's blisses
You want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never vicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If the weekend starts on Wednesday and it lasts till Monday night
Then when Tuesday comes around, you better treat your body right
Or it'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
Yeah, you say you'll have another then another turns to five
So when morning rolls around, you'll be surprised you're still alive
And it'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
When I ask you for an answer that you say you already gave
You can turn into a cancer, that can take you to your grave
And it'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
If you're looking for a lover and you find someone you hate
If you stay with them forever, then I guess you've found your fate
And it'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It'll drag you down, it'll drag you down
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do
It's just another role that you do, that you do, that you do
Camera flash and the lights go out
I forgot what I was praying about
People come and people go
Where they go, nobody knows
Nobody knows… (x3)
Everybody's talking about the latest buzz
I wasn't listening, to what it was
Pay attention, and the tension grows
Where it grows, nobody knows
Nobody knows… (x4)
Nobody shows you if they love you
They only try so hard, to be above you
Everybody's lookin' at the pretty boy
The one who's making all the noise
He don't read much, and it shows
Ladies don't love him for what he knows
For what he knows (x3)
He never shows you if he loves you
He only tries so hard, to be above you
It's getting late, so I turn in
Nothing happened yet again
I'm just waiting on love to show
Where it is, nobody knows
I'm just waiting on love to show
Where it is, nobody knows
Nobody knows (x3)
Nobody shows if they love you
They only try so hard, to be above you
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
…nobody knows
…nobody knows
Seven months to the day since I saw your face
You’re on the earth like a fire holding out till the bitter end
You’re holding on till the bitter end
I take a walk in the town it’s like a deadened street
The sidewalk sing your name underneath my feet
Echoes of forgotten of love
Baby where’d you go, did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling what we had it cannot be taken, it cannot be stolen
And it won’t be forgotten no it won’t be forgotten
Summer disappears like a dream I had
And winter comes with a knife that cuts you down
And it never ends, ooh it never ends
I hurry past the place you like to drink alone
Seven months to the day you left me here on this avenue
And now I think of you
Baby where’d you go, did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling what we had it cannot be taken, It cannot be broken
And it won’t be forgotten no it won’t be forgotten
Seven months to the day and you don’t leave a trace
I searched the cracks in the ground, the tallest buildings
They never knew, oh they never knew
Baby where’d you go, did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling what we had it cannot be taken, it cannot be broken
And it won’t be forgotten
Baby where’d you go, did you sail away over some distant ocean?
Darling what we had it cannot be taken, it cannot be stolen
If I found a way then I will make you stay
Maybe one more night if you wanna
If I found the rhyme then I would take the time
Sing you one more line and it will go like
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
God bless the ones we’ve loved
God bless the ones we’ve lost
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
I will never die, never die like you
If I found the boy, the one with golden eyes
You know I think I’ll haunt you
If I found the rhyme then I would take the time
Sing you one more line and it will go like
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
God bless the ones we’ve loved
God bless the ones we’ve lost
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
I will never die, never die like you
I felt his hand today
Across my shoulder, I’ll kneel down to pray
Say after life’s ok
But it got so lonely when you turned away
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
God bless the ones we’ve loved
God bless the ones we’ve lost
God bless the world, it’s so glorious
I will never die, never die like you
I felt his hand today
Across my shoulder, I’ll kneel down to pray
Say after life’s ok
But it got so lonely when you turned away
I saw his lie today,
Across my shoulder, I’ll kneel down to pray
I feel like hell today,
But it got so lonely when you turned away
I felt his hand today
Across my shoulder, I’ll kneel down to pray
Say after life’s ok
But it got so lonely when you turned away
It got so lonely when you turned away
I didn't know that I would love you like I do
I didn't think that I was ready to
But there's something about the way you take my hand,
it's like I never touched a man
And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
you make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you I unravel
I didn't know that love would fill me up so good
I tried before but then you know it never would
But there's something about the way you call my name,
now I'll never feel the same
And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
you make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you I unravel
And when you hold me I feel more and more a woman
I never knew that I could feel so free
(x2)
And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
you make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you
And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
you make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you I unravel
I didn't know that I would love you like I do
I put your records on
To see if you would sing my name
I put your records on
To see if you might feel the same
It was a tragedy about the end of all the world
You took the saddest part
And gave it to another girl
It's funny how it all works out in the end
Though it was the same from start to fin
But it's never too late to begin
So I put your records on
To see if I would hear my name
I put your records on
And wonder if you do the same
It'd be a tragedy for anyone that was your girl
Because the saddest part is
You want the love of all the girls
It's funny how it all works out in the end
Though it was a shame from start to fin
But it's never too late to begin
It's funny how it all works out in the end
Though it was the same as it's always been
But it's never too late to begin
So I put your records on
I put your records on
I put your records on
I put your records on
Your records on
Young love waits at the window
And I said go home
'Cause he don't know it's not his problem
And he don't know I'm not alone
Clock strikes 3 in the morning
And I lie sleepless
'Cause he don't know I broke my promise
And he don't know I've done this
In the early light
I found you with a bottle by the side
I can see by your eyes you know that I
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
What now? That is the question
But it's not up to you
So I think I will leave you guessing
After all you put me through
In the early light
I found you with a bottle by the side
I can see by your eyes you know that I
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
In the early light
I found you with a bottle by the side
I can see by your eyes you know that I
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
Jeffrey ran away
Last seen with that boy around the corner
Hands upon his waist
Shaking too much 'fore he's dead he's on her
Jeffrey was a tired boy
Too much yelling going on to sleep
so they had it once on his list
never knew the cut would be so deep
(where did you go?)
where did you go?
(where did you go?)
where did you go?
Face I've never seen
Shove in my flesh and my bone-oh my bones
Something moves in me
I can only hope your not alone
Twenty winters gone now
Plently more to come
Where we do, so I call you home, lift my voice
and pray that it will find you
(where did you go?)
where did you go?
(where did you go?)
where did you go?
Somewhere inside back of your mind
See can you find
(where did you go?)
where did you go?
(where did you go?)
Is it any wonder, cue the thunder
It's raining on me
This is getting frightening
There's the lightning
Striking the trees
Fire in the sky
Please, before they take me
Come and shake me out of this dream
Find myself alone
And chilled to the bones inside of me
Fire in the sky
And our hearts beat on like a drum (like a drum)
Death will inevitably come (it will come)
We are all helpless to the song
Marching us all to our graves
Marching us all to the grave
I knew it was coming
Now it's running faster than me
I cannot avoid this
There is one kiss waiting on me
Fire in the sky
And our hearts beat on like a drum (like a drum)
Death will inevitably come (it will come)
We are all helpless to the song
Marching us all to our graves
Marching us all to the grave
And our hearts beat on like a drum (like a drum)
Death will inevitably come (it will come)
We are all helpless to the song
Marching us all to our graves
It is all just a mystery (it will come)
Who knows what will become of me (it will come)
Death will come inevitably
Marching us all to our graves
Marching us all to the grave
Marching us all to our graves
Some people call it tragic
And it was the final straw
Though I never knew just what he saw
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never underestimate
The power of…
He could bring me to my knees
Though I never saw just what he sees
I was callin' out for him
He never turned
I was callin' out for him
I never learned
Never…. Ever….
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never… Ever…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Saw you walking down the street
Those Velcro sneakers on your feet
You were walking faster than
I could run
I was walking in the shade
And you, the sun
Now we can watch it fall
Cause they built it up to tall
Now I'm sinking lower than
All my tears
Sinking lower than
All your fears
Never… Ever…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never… Ever…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Mmmm... Mmmm…
Boy you've got a lot to learn
Wait until it is my turn
And, you stand ever
Never… Ever…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never… Ever…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never underestimate
The power of…
Never underestimate
Maybe you like the chains
Maybe you like the grace

what were you doing in my dream last night, honey
well i thought i liked that you're uptight, baby
well it's a mystery to me how you keep on slipping in
my mind
and it's downright dirty that this old wound won't heal
with time
well you could wash my brain
you could tear out my heart
but i would never forget you
you could change my world
i could make a new start
but i would never forget you
and it's kill, kill, killing me
and it's kill, kill, killing me
that i'm still in love with you
just when i think i've got you in safe keeping
that's when your memory, it comes 'round creeping
well it's an ache i can't shake and it's creeped down
deep into my core
but babe i can't fake it, i can't take this heartbreak
anymore
well you could wash my brain
you could tear out my heart
but i would never forget you
you could change my world
i could make a new start
but i would never forget you
and it's kill, kill, killing me
and it's kill, kill, killing me
that i'm still in love with you
i asked you please to leave my heart but you refused to
i can't take this pain much longer
you insist on teaching me what i already know
absence made this heart grow fonder
well you could wash my brain
you could tear out my heart
but i would never forget you
you could change my world
i could make a new start
but i would never forget you
and it's kill, kill, killing me
and it's kill, kill, killing me
So I've come to this final…
Conclusion.
I will not wait around
For you to break my heart again
Now I understand
What a fool I've been
I will forgive you.. but..
You know I can't forget
Because..
I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide
And now I sit and talk
Through all, the confusion
I cannot now remember
Who the hell I am
You're not the only one
Who created an illusion
I knew I'd find
My place, in time
I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide
I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide
Now no time to discover
All the things we were gonna be,
And no way to recover
All the pieces of you and me.
Now my life is calling
With no way to tell where it's going.
Maybe you'd want me back this time
And maybe you'd stay.
Maybe you'd want me back this time
But baby, I say
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I know that somewhere inside me
You're not totally gone.
But I've not yet decided
If it's right or it's wrong.
Now it seems you're calling.
Leave a message after the tone.
Maybe you'd want me back this time
And maybe you'd stay.
Maybe you'd want me back this time
But baby, I say
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
Who's to say what happens next?
Momma told me never to say never.
Who's to say what happens next?
Who's to say I'll feel like this forever?
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
How deep is your ocean?
How high is your sky?
I'd love to put our love into motion
But I'd have to ask myself why
Well, I can't tell ya how to live your life
But I know how to live mine
I take home pretty things that I like
And baby, you are so fine
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band
Why do I adore you?
We've only just met…
I feel I would do anything for you
But baby, sometimes I forget
That I can't tell ya how to live your life
But I know how to live mine
I take home pretty things that I like
And baby, you are so fine
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band
Well, I forget I'm a lady
I've had too much wine
I'd love it if you would call me your baby
Cause baby, you are so fine
That I can't tell ya how to live your life
But I know how to live mine
I take home pretty things that I like
And baby, you are so fine
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band
(How deep is your ocean?
How high is your sky?
I'd love to put our love into motion
If it makes you love me more
To put one foot out the door
Step outside
And if you feel wild and free
When you're out away from me
Run away
'Cause I can hear it in your voice
In a sweet fever rush
When you look at me and say
That you love me there and then
Blood on my hands and my body
Blood that washes clean, like water
Love that cuts so deep
It heals me
I wanna love you more
If you would open up the door
And step outside
Blood on my hands and my body
Blood that washes clean like water
Love that cuts so deep
It heals me
Hey domino,
I am stopping you from falling
1-2-3 Don’t you dare go down
Hey waterfall,
Oh can you hear me calling?
3-2-1 don’t you dare touch the ground
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave them lying in the mud
But you’ll be scared when we’re alone
Like I might suck your blood
And I could tell you a witch’s spell
But it just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I’m having fun
It’s awfully hard to stop
Its awfully hard to stop
Sun in the sky,
I ain’t stopping you from burning
All we need is stars and moon
Clock on the wall,
I will keep your hands from turning
Or this night will end too soon
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave them lying in the mud
But you’ll be scared when we’re alone
Like I might suck your blood
And I could tell you a witch’s spell
But it just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I’m having fun
It’s awfully hard to stop
Its awfully hard to stop
It’s just too hard to stop
Ooooh
Hey lover boy,
Oh now do you believe me?
That’s not all that I can do
Sit back down,
I’m afraid we won’t be leaving
Cant undo my spell on you
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave them lying in the mud
But you’ll be scared when we’re alone
Like I might suck your blood
And I could tell you a witch’s spell
But you just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I’m having fun
It’s awfully hard to stop
Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave them lying in the mud
But you’ll be scared when we’re alone
Like I might suck your blood
And I could tell you a witch’s spell
But it just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I’m having fun
It’s awfully hard to stop
Its awfully hard to stop
It’s just too hard to stop
We'd be so less fragile
If we're made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
And if we built an army
Full of tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we stop to feel
And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away
You say you want to know her like a lover
And undo her damage, she'll be new again
Soon you'll find that if you try to save her
It will lose her anger
You will never win
And you want three wishes:
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away
You want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And a clean conscience
And all it's blisses
You want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never vicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
When I woke up this afternoon
I knew I felt uneasy.
But no matter what I'd do
Nothing seemed to please me.
I couldn't get out of my head
That little fight we had last night.
Though I would much rather be dead
Than admit to myself
That you were right.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't be silly,
Turn on Billie.
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away.
And if we wake up in full makeup,
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passe.
Now don't look at me that way.
You know I just can't take it.
And no matter what they say
I know that we will make it.
Cause when we are good, we're grand
But when we're bad we are very bad.
But I stick around 'cause the love
That you're giving me is the best
I've ever had.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(repeat chorus)
And it's funny to me,
The way that things have worked out.
There's no doubt (in my mind)
And you can't recall
What this all was about.
So let's give it up.
Love me sweetly and completely
Come and sit beside me
'Cause you know I need you near.
When you're wheelin'
With that feelin'
We'll paint the town pink
'Cause baby, red is so last year.
(repeat chorus)
Baby Baby
I, could not believe it
When I found the letter
You left it on the table
I couldn't miss it
At least you coulda hid it
I guess in a way
You did me a favor
It's all about how you
Loved to smell her skin
While she's sleepin
How you loved to touch her
Something about
Some ciggarette, somewhere
But I don't smoke
Do not smoke (x4)
Baby Baby
Do you call her baby?
Bet you're gonna get it
But I heard you say she's pretty
Do you curl up
Cozy by the fire?
Maybe I should tell her
That Baby you're a liar
Didn't mean to wake you up
Lay down your sleepy head…
Didn't mean to wake you up
Go back to sleep and dream
And dream of her holding
Dream of her holding (x4)
Baby Baby
Let me tell you something
One day you'll be sorry
One day you'll be bitter
I hate to be the one
To break it to you
But that girl is a bitch
Don't forget I'm finished
I didn't mean to wake you up!
I didn't mean to wake you up!
I didn't mean to wake you up!
Lay down your sleepy head
I didn't mean to wake you up
Go back to sleep and dream of her
Dream of her holding you
Dream of her holding you (x2)
We are stars
Fashioned in the flesh and bone
We are islands
Excuses to remain alone
We are moons
Throw ourselves around each other
We are oceans
Being controlled by the pull of another
And I just wanna be loved by you
Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you
I see nothing worse than to sail this universe without you
When we met
I was pulling an angel out of a liar
We forget
Satisfaction kills our desire
We are dreamers
Wishing upon what we were born from
We made plans
Kill them ourselves
And then we mourn them
And I just wanna be loved by you
Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you
I see nothing worse than to sail this universe without you
I just wanna be loved by you
Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you
I see nothing worse than to sail this universe without you
(I just wanna be loved by you)
I see nothing worse than to sail this universe without you
(Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you)
I see nothing worse than to sail this universe without you

I'm gonna close my eyes to change my vision
I'm gonna have another drink so I can make a bad decision
And I wanna piece of you tonight
I'm gonna change my name so no one can find me
I'm gonna lose my mind so no one can remind me
Yeah, I wanna piece of you tonight
Yeah, I wanna piece of you tonight
What do you when you know that it's wrong?
When you try to hold back but you can't hold it for long
When you cut, you cut, you cut back that desire
It comes creeping in just like a disease
Can you, can you give it to me please?
'Cause you know I want a piece of you tonight
I'm gonna take my time so I can really feel it
And we can hide inside the darkness that conceals it
'Cause I wanna piece of you tonight
Yeah, I wanna piece of you tonight
What do you do when you want it so much?
You would do anything just to get that rush
When you got, you got, you got back that desire
It comes roaming in, pulls you down back the ocean
We could get lost inside a single motion
And you know I want a piece of you tonight
I'm gonna hold you close to take away the sorrow
'Cause we both know I'm leaving here tomorrow
What do you do when you want it so much?
You would do anything just to get that rush
When you got, you got, you got back that desire
It comes roaming in, pulls you down back the ocean
We could get lost inside a single motion
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Love it isn't easy babe
But I don't want to play
You are knocking at my door
But I cannot come out today
Let me pull down the sheets
Now the room is blue
I don't want nobody else
If I can't be with you
Close my eyes
Leave me in quiet
You said I was hiding
And I will not deny it, ohh
Lala lala love
Your eyes look heavy babe
So why won't you just sleep
You said I should let it go
But this one I will keep
Close my eyes
Leave me in quiet
You said I was hiding
And I will not deny it, ohh
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Close my eyes
Leave me in quiet
You said I was hiding
And I will not deny it, ohh
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
Lala lala love
We could bring a blanket for the grass
Cover up your eyes so you don't see
If you let me go I'm running fast
Oh one two three count one two three
We could watch the black birds cross the skies
We could count the leaves left on the trees
We could count the teardrops in our eyes
Oh one two three yeah one two three
One two three yeah one two three
Now you know now you know
How I feel and I wont back down
Prick your finger on a spinning wheel
But dont make a sound
Drop of blood and now you're taken
For all time
With a kiss you will awaken
And you'll be mine you'll be mine you'll be mine
I could always stay and work it out
Wondering if you still wanted me
But there are so many things to doubt
Oh one two three count one two three
Think that for a moment you were mine
I know that you saw what we could be
But then you went and changed your mind
Oh one two three yeah one two three
One two three yeah one two three
Now you know now you know
How I feel and I wont back down
Prick your finger on a spinning wheel
But dont make a sound
Drop of blood and now you're taken
For all time
With a kiss you will awaken
Passion can be
As quiet as a whisper
In your head
Pain can be
So silent you won't even
Know it's there
If rage could be
So soft
I might stay here
With you
If you could see my heart
It might turn
Your eyes to blue
But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than
It is to know
I wanna see you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
God is as good
As he is kind
As he is just
He knows just how I feel
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
But I want a bigger cup
This one won't hold enough
A love and painted heartache
And other fancy stuff
But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than
It is to know
I wanna see you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's gonna hurt…
There's a lot you don't know
And there's a lot I can't tell
Would you think I'm crazy
If you knew me that well?
'Cause there's a lot you don't know but you say
You won't go and I'd like to believe you
But I know there's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
Was it all in my head
Or somehow is it true?
Was it something I said?
I can offer no proof
'Cause there's a lot I don't know but you say
You won't go and I'd like to believe you
But I know there's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
I did it for love, I did it for experience
I did it for love, ooh
I did it for, I did it for, I did it for love
But I know there's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(No one, I am the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I am the only one)
This, is the end of us
You will never hear my voice again
You, are ridiculous
With your imaginary friends
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
Ohh, All that I want
Is for you to come crawling back
This, is the end of us
And everything you said we'd be
And, all the love I bring
I will be taking home with me
I do not want
For you to be happy
I do not want
For you to be happy
All that I want
Is for you to come crawling back
(I want you to come to ruin) x4
This is the first day
Of many years of sorrow
You won't forget my name
But I'll forget your face tomorrow
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
Ohh, All that I want
Is for you to come crawling back
…to me
Is for you to come crawling back
…to me
Is for you to come crawling back
…to me
Is for you to come crawling back
Is for you to come crawling back
I find you never seem to notice,
But did we miscommunicate,
Oh and all the things they showed us,
They nocked you out but on your face,
See how the others do it,
They're intertwined,
But they're still free,
Oh but you don't wanna hear it,
Whats it to do with you and me.
How can I love you more,
Tell me how can I love you more,
How can I love you more,
Tell me how can I love you more,
I won't only be your baby,
How can I love you more.
What now,
Are we moving faster,
Well do we need to slow this down,
Your mind is what you wanna master,
And then you think to come around,
But what about me,
Well tell me what can I love most,
Sometimes it feels like I'm losin,
Step off the heart thats on the floor.
How can I love you more,
Tell me how can I love you more,
I won't only be your baby,
How can I love you more,
How can I love you more,
Tell me how can I love you more,
How can I love you more,
Tell me how can I love you more,
I won't only be your baby,
I heard about it last week
That you were thinking about leaving me
Oh, you can be so sweet
But you can be such a stubborn girl when you wanna be
Louisa, won't you think it over?
Won't you think it down?
Louisa, if you won't think it over
Will you look me up when you come around?
Don't you know you're my best friend
And I've been having such a hard time making new ones
I guess everything comes to an end
I hide you for a moment and now you're gone
Louisa, won't you think it over?
Won't you think it down?
Louisa, if you won't think it over
Will you look me up when you come around?
You see, I'm afraid that you'll go far away
And raise a family that I will never see
Don't you know that I need to see your face
(To see your face, to see your face)
I heard about it last week
That you were thinking about leaving me
Oh, I want you to be happy
But I can be such a stubborn girl when I wanna be
Louisa, won't you think it over?
Won't you think it down?
Louisa, if you won't think it over
la la lie la la lie la la lie
la la lie la la lie la la lie
la la lie la la lie la la lie
la la lie la la lie la la lie
i've got a real one for you
i'm done with compromise
lies of white and black and blue
they hide inside those big brown eyes
You've got me, dirty angel
aren't you ready to come clean?
when i'm looking down with sorrow
you say that i'm being mean
Don't you hear me when i say i'm lonely?
do i kid myself to think that i am your one and only?
i can't tell you how many times i've cried over you, my
baby
i've had one too many sleepless nights over you, my
baby
baby, AH
can't you see i'm wounded, baby?
go ahead and put me down
You keep saying that i'm crazy
there's just rumors going 'round
i'm dying to believe you
tell me, what else should i do?
who would want to play a fool
then find out it was true?
Don't you hear me when i say i'm lonely?
do i kid myself to think that i am your one and only?
i can't tell you how many times i've cried over you, my
baby
i've had one too many sleepless nights over you, my
baby
baby, AH
baby, HA
cross your heart and hope to die
white or black it's still a lie
every city that you fly
i sit home and wonder why
while you're out there getting high
one more night for me to cry
can you look me in the eye
cross your heart and hope to die
hope to die
hope to die
hope to die
hope to die
i can't tell you how many times i've cried over you, my
baby
i've had one too many sleepless nights over you, my
baby
i can't tell you how many times i've cried over you, my
baby
i've had one too many sleepless nights over you, my
baby
i can't tell you how many times i've cried over you, my
baby
i've had one too many sleepless nights over you, my
Hey, come on
And take off all the clothes that you have on
And make love to me until the sun
Comes up
Or until we decide we are done
Or until all the prayers
That go to heaven get an answer
Ooh ooh ooh...(repeat oohs)
You are absurd
You say the cutest things I've ever heard
I don't think I can take another word
Or my head might explode
And I will have to go to heaven
Ooh ooh ooh... (repeat oohs)
Love me...
Love me...
Love me...
No I said
I do not think that it's all in your head
But we may not find out until we're dead
Or until earth explodes
And everybody goes to heaven
One for the lover and one for the lost.
Oh the price of sin.
One for the sinner and one for the love
I'm in.
One for tomorrow and one for the life I've led.
One for the sorrow and one for the love in my bed.
And one for me,
And one for me.
And one for me.
One for the giver and one for the take.
And the guilty head.
One for the woman and one for the snake
Who is dead.
One for the mother and one for the child
To begin again.
One for the meek and one for the mild
Who give in.
And one for me.
And one for me,
And one for me.
Three steps forward,
Two steps back
For one more I keep on.
One for the liar and one for the trust.
Ignorant bliss.
One for the metal and one for the rust
To resist.
And one for me,
And one for me,
In the middle of the night
I got me a little light
It burns on
I can feel it changing me
I can see what I believe
I get turned on
Open up and breath it in
It'll come around again
It burns on
And you're not that far behind me
And you're not that far behind me
The space that I'm under
Is making me wonder
What is out there
When gravity frees me
It will release me
Into the air
Suddenly I have new eyes
Got my baby by my side
It's so pure
I wanna watch my lover shine
Did you know that you are mine?
And I'm yours
And you're right there beside me
And you're right there beside me
The space that I'm under
Is making me wonder
What is out there
When gravity frees me
It will release me
into the air
I'm trippin' on starlight
Everything's all right
Everything's all right
And I feel...
And I feel love, love the world
And I feel love, love the world
around me
The space that I'm under (The space that I'm under)
Is making me wonder (Is making me wonder)
What is out there (What is out there)
When gravity frees me (When gravity frees me)
It will release me (It will release me)
Into the air (Into the air)
I'm trippin' on starlight (I'm trippin' on starlight)
Everything's all right (Everything's all right)
He treats me fine
But I could be better
You'll bring the wine
And I'll read your letter
I on my own
Feel like a liar
I'm almost home
But I'm getting tired…
Never could look back
Never would look back
Because
I don't need you
And you don't need me
I don't need you
You don't need me
Yeah….
I said goodbye
But I just regret it
Let's make things right
But you'll never let it
Never could look back
Never would look back
I don't need you
And you don't need me
I don't need you
You don't need me
Yeah….
I…..
(I don't need you)
Don't….
(You don't need me)
Need…..
(I don't need you)
You….
(You don't need me)
I don't need you
Maybe I should've known, my baby
To leave you alone, maybe
Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
Oh, but you couldn't stay, now could you?
Oh, you wouldn't say, now would you?
Oh, but I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
When the world is on your back
and life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack,
mine's here waiting
(x2)
Oh' but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go
And you didn't know, now did you?
That I'd fall in love with you
Oh, but now it's too late
It's useless to say
How can you just sit there with that look upon your
face,
when you know that I have one at home that you can't
replace?
You tell me that we shouldn't but you'll have to show
me how
cause your eyes are saying something else and I want it
But you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
I got to say I saw this coming from afar,
cause darlin' you're so beautiful, you know you are
Ever since that day I saw you walk into this place,
well it's done something to me I can't erase
But you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
I saw it coming and there it goes
I saw it coming and don't you know, don't you know
That you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you baby
I want you tonight
You can't fight
To make it better
You can't cry..
And hope that this won't end
Some say love
It is forever
But all I know…
Is that we're just friends
[Chorus]
I'll give it all back
I'll give it all back
To you…
I'll give it all back
I'll give it all back
To you….
Yeah…
Now you know me
Like no other
And you know when
I'm telling lies
So you believe
If you wanna
But you know I
I wanna say goodbye
[Chorus]
You can't fight
To make it better
You can't cry
And hope that this won't end
Some say love
It is forever
But all I know…
Is that we're just friends
[Chorus]
Yeah….
What will you do now
Everyone has gone home
Leaving in quiet
And leaving us to be alone
I waited too long to say
I tried to pretend…
I only want you to stay
If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it….
The day is through now
Doesn't feel right..
I can't stand the quiet
So I lay awake
All through the night
We'll journey on
And just let it play
Don't ever let it end
I only want you to stay
If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it….
Wait for a moment
But there's nothing that
I can say to you
So go if you wanna
There's nothing left
For me to do
If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it….
If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it….

The way, The way, The way
You talk about her
Oh, the way you look at me
Oh, the way, the way
You hear my whispers
Oh, the way, the way, the wayyy
And, all I want is what I can not have
Why does it always seem to be this way?
Oh, I will take what you give
Take what you give to me
But it's not good enough, not good enough
Oh, I want the way, the way
You talk about her
To be the way, the way
You talk about me
Oh, the way, the way
You give yourself freely
Ohh, the way, the way, the wayyy
When will I ever love
The one thing that
Draws me near, to you
Pieces not out of my reach
Just stand outside
Until I open my eyes
I know the way I always do this to myself
Only makes it harder to love
But I love the way, the way
You give yourself freely
Oh the way, the way, the wayyy
Oh I hope the way, the way
You talk about her
To be the way, the way
You talk about me
Oh, the way, the way
You give yourself freely
Hey, are you beautiful?
And were you sent here
To love me?
Hey, are you warm inside?
Cause my nights are cold
Cause my days are alone
Can't believe my eyes
This metamorphosis
Right before my eyes
A change took place
And I'd like to take you home
Cause I've been so alone
Would you fill this empty space
With your lovely face?
Hey, will you hold me 'till
All this empty surrenders
Cause I, cannot find the light
In these old and darkened nights
But I'm as full as a song
With no one there to sing
And I am fighting with my heart
And this voice that you bring..
Cause I'd like to take you home
Cause I've been so alone
Would you fill this empty space
With your lovely face?
Ohh… you make me beautiful
Will you stay here?
And love me?
For I have never known
Nights so warm
Or days so bright
Look into my eyes
This metamorphosis
Right before you eyes
A change takes place….
And I'd like to take you home
Cause I've been so alone
Would you fill this empty space
With your lovely face?
And I'd like to take you home
Cause I've been so alone
Would you fill this empty space
He was moving towards me like a deadly hurricane
Well, the eye was on the sparrow but I was in the rain
Rolled into town and blew a smoke into my eyes
Well, it was only for a moment but I was hypnotized
Why can't I know the secrets that you're keeping from me?
Stop! Don't tell me now
'Cause there is only one day more
And I don't know how
(Don't know how, don't know how)
To bring to life the things that meant so much to me before
There is danger in your words that I cannot ignore
Why must I conceal the secrets I've been keeping from you?
Sorry thing it was that fell out of your hands
But then you take me in your arms
And become the good Samaritan
Time flies by like planes above
And worries need a death
'Cause I lose you more and more
With every breath
Why can't I know the secrets that you're keeping from me?
Who's been sleeping in my bed?
Ain't nobody sleeping in your bed,what you're talking about?
I'm innocent,I didn't treat you bad girl,
What you're talking about? What? what?
Chorus:
Who's been sleeping in my bed?
Tell me boy,do you think I'm mad?
I've been wastin' so much time,thinking truly you were mine
Where have you been gone all night long?
Who's been calling there on the phone?
Why did you treat me so bad? Who's been sleeping in my bed?
Just another sunday,hanging out in the city,
When I saw this lonely girl come in my way
She was looking so pretty,wearing Gucci and Fendi
It was not me who asked her if she wanted to stay with me
I know I might look guilty,the evidence is strong
I`m sure you're thinking that I'm filthy,but I didn't do you wrong
Now it's true that I was gone,but I wasn't all alone
I was hangin' with my homies when you called me on the phone
Yo,it might look strange that you found some lingerie
But believe me baby,baby,this can all be explained,ah
You konwa what,now this might sound a little rough
But maybe it's somebody trying to set me up
Who's been sleeping in my bed,huh? Yeah,come on tell me...
Chorus
Now what you mean who? Girl,what you're trying to do?
Just because you smell parfume don't mean someone was in the room
Not me,so why you're thinking that?
Girl,you know I keep it real and I always got your back
Now tell me why you're thinking that I would treat you that way?
I know you probably going off of what your girlies say
There ain't nobody in my bed in between the sheets,
Now you got it all wrong cause I Could never cheat
Chorus
