A Girl Called Eddy

Just like a little bird
Inside a little cage
Trying to find the strength
To learn to turn the page

Just like a mermaid
I am trapped under the sea
Trying to understand
What life wants me to be

Heroes and villains
And old lovers walk by
They tip their hats but
They never answer why

Why does it always seem
To bring me back to this
Searching for home
In someone else's gentle kiss
Searching for home in places
Home just don't exist

Heroes and villains
And old lovers walk by
They tip their hats but
They never answer why

So just like the mermaid
I will swim up to the light
Just like that little bird
It's time for me to fly

There's a girl whose stuck inside a picture frame
She's seen your face her mother's mentioned once your name
She sits and dreams her fifteen year old dreams of what to do
She's heard you sing and that your eyes are very very very blue

Why do you run
Why do you hide
From all you are
You're just a man

But she could tear you up inside
Tear you up inside
She could tear you up inside
Tear you up inside

She has a home outside this little picture frame
You're not in it and she wants someone to blame
Do you remember what it's like to be that young
All the pages that are blank all the songs yet to be sung

Why do you run
Why do you hide
From all she is
She's just a girl

But girls can tear you up inside
Tear you up inside
They could tear you up inside
Tear you up inside

If there are words you want to say
She's waiting for that rainy, that rainy day

Why do you run
Why do you hide
From all she is
She's just a girl
Tear you up inside
You're just a boy
Tear you up inside
They could tear you up inside
Tomorrow's gonna comes anyway
And you can see it in the inside
They could tear you up inside
Tear you up inside

Where did those crass band mornings go
And the dreaming over tea
God only knows
Was it so long ago
Your tried to let me know

You'd seen this face
Somewhere before
Now you know for sure
That you can call him

Heartache
Yes, you can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

Once there was spring inside his eyes
Now there's only autumn winds
And sad grey skies
And I'm such a fool
To think that I
Could change the rules
I'd seen his face
Somewhere before
Now I know for sure

That you can call him
Heartache
You can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

And you can call him
Heartache
Yes, you can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

You've seen his face
Somewhere before
Now you know for sure

Last night I dreamt
While I was walking that I died looking up
At fancy buildings and skyscrapers
Are real heart breakers
When your time has come and gone
It could of been all yours for a song

Of all the things I ever wanted
It was you
And love and freedom
But I was a girl haunted
In the blue, undaunted

Just swimming for the shore
Wondering what the hurt is for

But tonight I know why I'm here
I don't need to lose you to know
That it's already golden

Tonight I know in my heart
I don't need to die just to see
That it's already golden
That it's already golden

So take the purple
And take the black
And take all the colors of heartache back
And throw them in the sea
And say you love me
Keep the silver, keep the gold
Stay wand watch the world get old

'Cause tonight I know why I'm here
I don't need to lose you to know
That It's already golden

Tonight I know in my heart
I don't need to die just to see
That it's already golden
It's already golden
It's already golden
It's already golden
It's already golden
It's already golden

Ride the subway home
Pretend that you're not home
When somebody calls you
But nobody calls you

And it's me who loves you still
And I always will

But there are tears all over town
Too many tears all over this town
There are tears all over town
Too many tears

Once there were trumpets in the air
And confetti in your hair
And I knew where I belonged
Now I'm singing you this song

And every star we held that night
We reached for it all you know we tried

But there are tears all over town
Too many tears all over this town
There are tears all over town
Too many tears

I'm scattered like newspapers all over the street
I see your face in everyone I meet
I'm avoiding the corners
I'm avoiding your name
I know that I loved you but I loved you in vain

And this city's too small for two
My melancholy friend and you

And these tears all over town
Too many tears all over this town
Tears all over town
Too many tears all over this town
Too many tears
Too many tears...

Did you see the moon tonight
Did it shine the way I asked it to
By the time it made it's way to you
Instead of me
Inside your room tonight

It will dance across your floor
Make you remember more
Then you might want it to
But I want you to
Remember me

If you see the moon tonight
I hope it finds you all alone
Maybe sitting by the phone
Kinda sad and glad to be unhappy
'Cause your missing me
Like I'm missing you

If you see the moon tonight
If you do, don't close your eyes
You might get a big surprise
I might just fly across the ocean
And materialize
Then I could tell you that it's true
That I'm the one who turned it white to blue
Just for you, just for you

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

We see life through the same lens
That's what you said to me
And I knew that it was true
Until you threw my heart in the sea

How do I adjust my vision
How do I pretend not to feel
How do I act like we never met
When everything is telling me it was oh so real

If it's life on the defense
The stinging pain of being made to fool
All the cynics and the irony
Won't save you when you're drowning
In loves' sweet pool

How do I adjust my vision
How do I pretend not to feel
How do I act like we never met
When everything is telling me it was oh so real
Baby, baby

It's only fair that you tell me
Just what it was you think I did wrong
If I was looking through the same lens
My prescription must of been all wrong

How do I adjust my vision
How do I pretend not to fell
How do I act like we never kissed
When everything is saying it was oh so real

If we saw through the same lens
Then you'd see I want you here right now
Instead of waiting for the day
When memory has clouded
Everything we loved about it

How do I adjust my vision
How do I pretend not to feel
How do I act like we never met
When everything is telling me it was oh so real

How do you adjust your vision
How do you pretend not to care
How do I act like we never met
And that you didn't see
What we know was there baby
Baby

Where did those crass band mornings go
And the dreaming over tea
God only knows
Was it so long ago
Your tried to let me know

You'd seen this face
Somewhere before
Now you know for sure
That you can call him

Heartache
Yes, you can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

Once there was spring inside his eyes
Now there's only autumn winds
And sad grey skies
And I'm such a fool
To think that I
Could change the rules
I'd seen his face
Somewhere before
Now I know for sure

That you can call him
Heartache
You can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

And you can call him
Heartache
Yes, you can call him that
You can call him
Heartache
You'll never take it back

You've seen his face
Somewhere before
Now you know for sure

Drinking our coffee
It's a quarter to three
No one in this place
Just us and our mistakes
You in the corner
That stupid smile
On your face
Tell me is there a way to replace
All the dreams
That didn't come true
Once we were happy

Once we were people
Who used to dream about the future
Once we were people
With stars in our eyes

Do you remember when I was your
Alice blue gown'
And you were the handsome young
Prince in his crown
Now the rain hits the roof
And your realize
That even your youth has let you down
Oh don't go cry in your beer
Cause it all ends in tears
Remember when we were happy

Once we were people
Who used to dream about the future
Yeah, once we were people
With stars in our eyes

Once we were people
Who used to dream about the future

But where did it all go
Where did it all go
Where did it all go

When did we stop taking pictures
And when did you lose all your fight
And where did you sign
Give up and resign
I never gave up on you
No, I never gave up on you

Once we were people
Who used to dream about the future
Once we were people
With stars in our eyes

Once we were people
Once we were people

Boy
Somebody hurt you
Boy
I wish I knew who
Could look
Into your sad eyes
And make
Such a sweet thing cry

You're lonely like only the broken can know
Aching for love but afraid to show
See how I miss you

Boy
Someone might hurt you
But it would never be me
I'd wrap you inside me
Be free or just hide for awhile

'Cause I'm lonely like only the broken can know
Aching for love but afraid to show
Lonely like only the broken can be
Breaking my own heart to make you see
See how I miss you

Please don't run away from the things that are real
And don't be afraid of whatever you feel
I'm feeling it too
I'm feeling it too

Boy
If you go looking
For things like in younger days
There won't be an answer
Only love can change your ways

Your lovely like only the broken can know
Aching for love but afraid to show
Lonely like only the broken can be
Breaking your own heart to make me see

See how I miss you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy, somebody hurt you
Boy

You stormed my winter palace
You rid my heart of every bit of malice, baby
You're how I won the war
Now your bags are packed, you're walking out the door
In every way there is nothing to say anymore

So this is the long goodbye
Maybe the tears will never dry
This is the long goodbye

Take your records, leave me mine
You're the one who said
We lived it all on borrowed time
So at the end of the day
There was nothing to say anymore

This is the long goodbye
Maybe the tears will never dry
This is the long goodbye
Leaving the past and you behind
This is the long goodbye

So take a good look, make it last
And when you've found the moment's past
Just remember that
Nobody loved you like me
Nobody loved you like me
Nobody loved you like me
Nobody loved you like me

This is the long goodbye
Maybe the tears will never dry
This is the long goodbye
Leaving the past and you behind
This is the long goodbye
I'm outta words on other times
This is the long goodbye

This is the long goodbye
This is the long goodbye

If I don't laugh I'll cry
At all the years going by
Why is it so hard
To say your name tonight

This little room we called home
These things I thought that we owned
And our small piece of the sky

Where did you go
Where did you go

Oh Kathleen
All of the stars in the sky
Went out one by one the day you said goodbye
I still can see your face

Kathleen
All of this got in our way
And left us always waiting for the day
When things were gonna change
And life would re-arrange for us

Oh Kathleen
You're still the same to me

Where was that place in the sun
We used to chase then would run from it
Well since you're gone I'm done
With it for good

Where did you go
Where did you go

Oh Kathleen
All of the stars in the sky
Went out one by one the day you said goodbye
I still can see your face

Kathleen
All of this got in our way
And left us always waiting for the day
When things were gonna change
And life would re-arrange for us

Oh Kathleen
Kathleen
Kathleen
