Rachael Yamagata 1집 - Happenstance (2004) by Rachael Yamagata (보컬) on maniadb.com

If I could take you away

Pretend I was queen
What would you say

Would you think I'm unreal
Cause everybody's got their way I should feel

Everybody's talking how I can't can't be your love
But I want want want to be your love

Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I can't can't be your love
But I want want want to be your love

Want to be your love for real
Want to be your everything Everything

Everything's falling, and I am included in that

Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted was a little piece of you


Everything will be all right If you just stay the night
Please, sir, don't you walk away,

don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Please, sir, don't you walk away,

don't you walk away, don't you walk away

I want to be your love, love, love

My love, my love, my love
How could you do this to me
My love, my love, my love
You were supposed to be
And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself

My love, my love, my love
How could you do this to me
My love, my love, my love
You're not enough for me
And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself

All I have is your letter read
And I cannot get it out of my head

And I'm afraid, and I can't breathe
And I'm in love with you
But you are not with me
And I have put so much into a life
I made too much about you now to lie

My love, my love, my love
How could you do this to me
My love, my love, my love
You're not enough for me
And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself

But all I have is your letter read
And I cannot get it out of my head

All I have you letter read
And I cannot get it out of my head

And I'm afraid, and I can't breathe
And I'm in love with you
But you are not with me
And I have put so much into a life
I made too much about you now to lie

Time passes by
While I wait for your call
Time passes by
I hear nothing at all

And I'm afraid, and I can't breathe
And I'm in love with you
But you are not with me
And I have put so much into a life
I made too much about you now to lie

I'm afraid, and I can't breathe
And I'm in love with you
But you are not with me
And I have put so much into a life
I made too much about you now to lie

I'm afraid, and I can't breathe
And I'm in love with you
But you are not with me

Gone she gone
How do you feel about it
That's what I thought
You're real torn up about it
And I wish you the best
But I could do without it
And I will because
you've worn me down
Oh I will because
you've worn me down
Worn me down like a road
I did anything you told
Worn me down to my knees
I did anything to please
But you can't stop thinking
about her
No you can't stop thinking
about her
And you're wrong you're wrong
I'm not overreacting
Something is off
Why don't we ever believe ourselves
And lie
Oh I I feel that word for you
And I will because
you've worn me down
Oh I will because
you've worn me down
Worn me down like a road
I did anything you told
Worn me down to my knees
I did anything to please
But you can't stop thinking
about her
No you can't stop thinking
about her
She's so pretty
so damn right
But I'm so tired of thinking
About her again tonight
Worn me down like a road
I did anything you told
Worn me down to my knees
I did everything to please you
Worn me down like a road
I did everything you told me to do
But you can't stop thinking
about her
No you can't stop thinking
about her
No you can't stop thinking
about her
No you can't stop thinking
about her

Only daughter
You got your ticket too soon

Holy Water
Cause everybodys getting ruined

They are waiting to see what you do

Too long, waiting
Everybody's cleared the room

And they'll dress you up
Stand you in all the right places

Words like honey
Smile as they change your faces

With no regard to you at all

And you find they treat
you like a paper doll

And they'll dress you up
for the flight
Like Ophelia, you wave goodnight
With the earth and sky
you cheer and cry
Writhe as all your days go by
And laugh as you die

Sweet softer shoulder
Oh sweet sugar safe
Sweet softer shoulder
Oh sweet sugar safe
Everybody's got their own
life philosophy

And I can't wait 'til
I find one coming from me

Oh, the bridge is narrow
You better not look down

'Cause as soon as you jump over
You won't find nobody around

Oh, the bridge is narrow
And you've got so far to fall

And you know down in dirty water's
No place for a paper doll

I'll find a way to see you again

I used to think that anything I'd do
Wouldn't matter at all anyway
But now I find that when it comes to you
I'm the winner of cards I can't play
Wait for me
Darling, I need you desperately here

And I'll find a way to see you again

The rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
Girl, you falling at his feet
Isn't lovely or stunning today
Wait for me
I'm alive when you're here with me, stay

And I'll find a way to see you again
Why do the street lamps die
When you're passing by
Like a band that won't stay on my shoulder tonight?
If you held me close, would you laugh it away?
Would you dare the glance that I steal to stay?

And I'll find a way to see you again

The rain will bring me down

Baby, I'm stuck in the middle,
and I don't know why
Find the words you sing to be
Sweeter than the words of the bird in the sky
Oh, the days you came around
I feel so good for me
I can take most anything
Cause what you bring

I find it to be magical
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963
Flowers in my hair
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'Til I kiss you next time

Baby, come on,
take a ride in my little blue bug
Keep the windows down
Don't forget to celebrate the radio's up
Oh, the way you hold my hand
There is no other way
We could take a thousand walks
And laugh all day

I find it to be magical
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963
Flowers in my hair now
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'Til I kiss you next time

I hesitate to say
I was bait for you
Could that be something
that you all would do
I'd be lying if I did now say
I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here
and for the moment
the we is reprieved
But as I watch the girl unfold
before my eyes
I discover
That I like her
Would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

I'm in the dance and it's a chance
But stay and watch awhile
I'll be singing a tune
just for you with a smile
And maybe if I'm lucky
You'll tip your hat to me
and you'll discover
That you like her
Would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go
Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than
I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be
to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame
Oh would you please
get out from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what
my intentions are
They're speaking in a
different tongue
And deep inside
I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right
I'm gonna stay my distance
and you should go
Oh would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem
but I won't let you know

Would you meet me
by the water baby
We'll have a really good time
Would you meet me
by the water baby
Cause I can't get you
off of my mind
I've been thinking everyday
about you
Don't fit anywhere into my life
but that's okay Cause I think
I might be right for you
And because of that I'm not
scared at all
And everyone says I'm crazy
And everyone says I'm a fool
Would you meet me by
the water tonight
Cause I'm ready
to break all the rules

Please don't leave me standing
with my heart in my hand
I can't last here
I'm breaking down
and no one understands
why I got here
But I knew from the very first
moment that I met you
You'd be the one
You'd be the one
Would you meet me by
the water tonight
Would you please fall asleep
holding my hand
Cause I've got everything
in store for you baby

You're gonna hate me
when I tell you everything
You're gonna question
whether you really know me at all
You will revisit every smile
and where it fit into the day
I know this is how it will play
And I try oh I try
to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know
that I love you

Even so

I was not looking to do you wrong
Was not looking for a
change of scenery

Don't remember where or how I did

But I'm hoping that you'll forgive me
And I try oh I try
to think of all the things
That I could do to let you know
that I love you

Do you remember how we used to
run in the summertime
Do you remember how we'd

Do you remember how we
run in the summertime
Do you remember how we run
Oh I try I try so very hard
And I cry I cry so very much
For I love you like you'll
never let yourself feel again
I love you like a brother
and a friend
I love you with my
whole heart until it bends
I love you like a
lover until the very end
But I'll always think
of all the things
You did to let me know
that you love me
But you're leaving
Even so

You sat down next to me, like poetry to wine
Our window looked upon a yellow neon sign
I took your hand while you decided what to do
The only kiss I ever miss, I shared with you
The other cities hold a memory still of a place
But when I dream of London, I can only see your face

I want you
Or no one
No one else will do
You, or no one
No one is the only one
to fill the empty space I hold for you

You simplified me down to slogans on the wall
I took offense, but you were right about them all
My friends are telling me I shouldn't waste my time
But I can't concentrate until I make you mine
I'm drawing cards and making wishes down by the well
Who would've known I'd lose myself in the old hotel

I want you
Or no one
No one else for me
You, or no one
No one else is strong enough
to slow me down in time to set me free
I want you
Or no one
No one else is fine
Oh, you, or no one
No one is the only one
to fill me up until I make you mine

I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone
and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down
as we skip the goodbyes
You can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast,
or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
And I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves
on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show
And do your best to cover
the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why

Baby says I can't come with him
And I had read all of
this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet
when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spent
on closing doors
You may hate me
but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet
when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange
as broken scenery
As they steal your best
memories away
What if I was someone
different in your only history
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again
And it'll be just as quiet
when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet
when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
to change
when I leave
