Jann Arden

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you


I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you


Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you


Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

Busted down, outside of town
Had no gasoline
I should have fixed that thing
I should have fixed that thing

How can you go two hundred miles
Without seeing a single soul
I should have stuck on the main road
I should have stuck on the main road

Now I'm waiting, I am waiting
Now I'm waiting, I am waiting
If you saw my face right now
You'd say that I was crying
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
I'm really smiling

If you saw my hands right now
You'd swear that they were shaking
They're not, they're not, they're not
They're only waving

'Cause I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
For someone to come along

Heaven help anybody
The sun is going down
The sun is going down
The sun is going down

I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting

Will you remember me when I'm gone
Will you remember me at all
I tried to be kind, I tried to be good.
Will you remember me

God only knows why we try and fail
Is this heaven on earth or the fires of hell
I tried to be honest, it's hard not to lie
Will you remember me after I die

Will you remember me
Will you remember me

I've got a junkie heart, in a cage of bone
I'm a scientific wonder, a sober son
I was born blue-blooded
So I've never made a cent on my own

I don't need to tell you that I'm afraid
'Cause I'll be paying for all the mistakes I've made
I tried to be thoughtful, it's hard not to be blind
Will you remember me after I?m gone

Will you remember me
Will you remember me

Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

She was forty-four years old or so she told me
She'd been working for a man
Who paid her twenty dollars
Just to hold him
I found that very sad
Very sad

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
It's all the same
We do some strange things

He was lonely and in search of some redemption
And though he paid her well
He wondered if she'd be there
In the morning
He spend all that he had
On a working girl

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
It's all the same
We do some strange things
We do some strange things

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
It's all the same
We do some strange things
We do some strange things

We do some strange things

I'm not your lover
And I am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'Cause I already know
You already broke me down

I'm not your perfect angel
I am not your one and only
I'm not your sweet magnolia
It's not like you never told me
Love was just a fast car
And I was just a cross on the road

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
And I don't think you ever loved me
I'm not your partner
And I don't think I ever could be
Love is like lightning
Thunder's what you've got when it's gone

I'm not your lover
And I am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'Cause I already know
You already broke my heart

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Tell me is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
I'm not your baby no more

Give me back my heart
It was never mine to give away
I'ts been taken apart
One too many times
And now the pieces won't fit into place

The truth is, I know how to lie
I lie to myself all the time
I told you, you could have it
But I was out of my mind
You can have any other part of me
But please give back my heart

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

I finally fell asleep last night
I had no lover's serenade
A crescent moon had ripped the sky
And stars were falling from my eyes
A tear-soaked lullaby

God was busy healing baby's bruises
God was busy answering prayers
God was busy cleaning a wounded earth
God was busy picking you off the ground

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart
Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

I used to think that I was a good girl
I used to think that the world was fair
Things have gone just a little bit crazy
Don't think I belong anywhere

I'm not so sure, I don't think I know
And I'm not afraid to tell you I'm a little bit scared
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think that I was a dreamer
I used to have my head in the clouds
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around

I feel so close, I don't think I know
And it's hard for me to tell you, its a little bit weird
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think I was a dreamer

I'm never gonna get there

No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl

I left my kitchen window open last night
And all that fresh cold air came rushing in
It gets so damn dark down here
Sometimes I want that steel blue air

The only plant I had just up and died
I feel so bad 'cause it's my fault
It was stone bone dry
It hardly ever saw the sun
It never saw the rain come down

I got a cat so I'd have company
We seldom talk, he eats a lot
But seems to like me
My place has never been the same
I'd like to be alone again

I left my kitchen window open last night
I haven't seen the cat
He caught a midnight flight
It gets so damn dark down here
Sometimes I want that steel blue air

I just don't love you
Like I used to, like before
I just don't love you
The way you want me to
No, I don't love you anymore

And I've been crying

I just don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you anymore

You lie to me
Cry to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that I have
I just don't love you, anymore
No, I don't love you

You pull me down
Push me around
I've had about all I can take
You fooled around
Busy doing the town
Constantly leaving your bait
Yes, I've been crying, over you
No, I don't love you

You lied to me
Cried to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that I have
I just don't love you, anymore
No, I don't love you

And I've been crying

Why does everybody hurt
Every bitter sickening word breaks my heart
Why can't anybody hear
When the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me

Every color every shade
Everyone an angel made from the breath of God
I'm your mother I?m your son
I am not the other one that you love to hate

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Pretty please...

When the fires all burn down
When they open up the ground and put you in
I'll lay flowers on your grave
It's a little too late for sorry now

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me

I died
When I heard your voice
After all this time
I poured over ancient letters
Poured over faded pictures
Poured over the last forgiveness
I thought I was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Fly by
Like a colored dream
That leaves your mind
My tears running like molasses
Heart finally collapses
Inside the beautiful
The ugliness will hide
I though I was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Words hardly heal rejection, you
Can't expect me just to lay down
And let you kiss it all away
It's too late

I died
When I heard your voice
After all this time
I thought I was
Over you
Over you
Over you

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell,
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
mmmmm

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips,
Longs to hold you tight

Oh I am just a friend,
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of makin' love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by,
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky girl
Oh you will never know,
The one who loves you so,
Well, you don't know me

You give your hand to me,
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky girl
Oh you will never know,
The one who loves you so,
Cause you don't know me
Ohhhhh, no you don't know me
Oooooh, you don't know me.

Fathers are pleading,
lovers are all alone,
mothers are prayin,
send our sons back home.
Oh you marched them away,
on ships and planes,
to a senseless war,
facing death in vain.

-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Turn the ships around,
lay your weapons down.

Can't you see them marchin across the sky,
all the soldiers that have died,
trying to get home,
can't you see them trying to get home.
Tryin to get home,
tryin to get home.

Cease all fire,
on the battlefield,
enough men have already,
been wounded and killed.



-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Turn the ships around,
lay your weapons down.

-Break-
Ya ha ha ya, ya ha ha ya.
Trying to get home[x4]

-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Whater they doin over there now,
when we need 'em over here now.
What they doin over there now,
when we need them over here now.
bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home,
(bring them back alive)
bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home,
(bring them back alive)
bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em back back home
(bring them back alive)
bring the boys home
(bring them back alive)

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on ones more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen.
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly.


Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
Indebentures of quality
And dubious integrity.
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.
To those of us who know the pain
Of valentines that never came,
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball.
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me.
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
At seventeen

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

Youre beggin me to go, youre makin me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had?
Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you why
But Im trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield



Were losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
Theres no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, youll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man


Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was


Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

He's a the son of a preacher man


Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man


Ohh oh oh yeah!

Devastatingly complimentary stay
Far away from me
With your counterfeit heart

I'm in misery
Irreversibly
Come and rescue me
From your counterfeit heart

This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you

I can't find content
I don't know where it went
Has it all been spent
On your counterfeit heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh

This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you

So take your chivalry
Fold it carefully
It wasn't meant for me
Love your counterfeit heart
Love your counterfeit heart
Love your counterfeit heart

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Hide your heart under the bed and lock
your secret drawer. Wash the angels
from your head won't need them anymore.
Love is a demon and you're the one he's
coming for. Oh my Lord.

He's bringing sweet salvation, let temptation
take him in. He's every fear and every hope
and every sing sin. He's the universe the
love you've been imagining. Oh my Lord.
Oh my Lord. Oh my Lord.

And I am ashes. I am Jesus. I am precious.
Could I be your girl. Could I be your girl.

Put a chair against the door and turn the lights
down low. Write a letter to yourself
no-one will ever know. Tell them all about
the girl who just refused to fall. Oh my Lord.

He is the very breath you feel inside your lungs at night.
He is the bitter wind who's drying up your appetite.
He is the darkness that seeps into your fading light.
Oh my Lord. Oh my Lord.

And I am ashes. I am Jesus. I am precious. Could I be
your girl. Could I be your girl. I am worthless
sounds compared to all your perfect words.
Could I be your girl. Could I be your girl.

Wash the angels from your hair won't need them
anymore. Hide your heart under the bed and lock
your secret drawer. Love is the demon and you're
the one he's coming for. Oh my Lord. Oh my Lord.
Could I be your girl. Could I be your girl

Can you see my heart beating in my mouth
Thank God the bones will keep it there inside
And you won?t have to see this latest casualty
And you can get yourself away from
all my demolition love

Can you hear me laugh dazed and scared to death
Thank God my thoughts aren?t drifting
through the air
?Cause you would catch me there bound so
tightly to your knees
The dirt beneath your feet is all I need
to be completely mad

Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you picture me here in Calgary
Thank God the voices screaming in my head
would sooner wish instead than face the
bitterness of loss
I can take it now I know myself in
demolition love
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you see my heart

I?ll bite the hand that feeds the pain
I?ll lay my life down for love
I lost the truth, I lost my way
But I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it now
I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for myself

A savior sent to save the world
An angel has no armor
Now torn and bent, no wings unfurl
we are looking for it
Oh we are looking for it now
we are looking for it
We need to find but one thing good

And under every star (I?m finding Heaven)
In every breath of air (I?m finding Heaven)
In everything I have (I?m finding Heaven)
In everything I am ... oh

The world is big, the world is bad
But I will find the beauty - I see a vision in
my head. I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for myself.
I am looking for it - I am looking for it now
I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it now
Oh I am looking for myself

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush?
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again?

Oh you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell to fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
How to be insensitive

Oh I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Hold out your heart and on it let the sun shine down
Open your mind and through it let the wisdom pour
Give me your word and I will give you all my trust
Give me a sign and I will give you all my love

There?s dirt in my mouth from kissing who
I should not dare
There?s mud coming out with every rip and every tear
This thing beneath my ribs sill beat me to the ground
I?ve got to hold out my heart, on it let the sun
shine down (got to hold out my heart)
The sun shine down

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

Nobody knows me, no one will ever see
the distance between what is and what will never be
A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn?t anything to comfort me

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn?t anything to comfort me (hold out your heart)

Gasoline
Gasoline

Be my lover, be my baby, be my wonderdrug
Be my flower, weeping silver tears on
a rusted heart.
Don?t say a word, just let me kiss it
all away
No more sorrow, no more sadness no more

Be my lover, baby you just got to want me
I don?t know, can?t think, not even breathing
Be my blood-stained suit of armor, be my everything
Don?t say you love me ?cause I don?t care
I love you more than you will ever know
No more worry, no more trouble, no more sadness
An no more sorrow

Oh my heart shines when you kiss my mouth
What a sweet surprise
And I stop cold when you?re in the room
And you look my way
Say my name, say my name

Be my lover, Be my, Be my baby
Be my wonderdrug, my wonderdrug
my wonderdrug. Be my, be my baby
Be my lover
Be my wonderdrug

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her

I?ve got a black and white television
I?ve got an indigo gas oven
I?ve got holes in my head
Holes in my head

I?ve got filthy rotten wall to wall
I?ve got a couch made out of corduroy
My cat?s dying, words flying, leading from
the shower stall
And that?s not all

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her

I can?t believe the things I hear
Falling from the atmosphere
Sexual atrocities are happening right over me
And I can?t sleep

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her
etc

There will be no consolation prize
this time the bone is broken clean
no baptism, no reprise and no sweet taste
of victory. All the stars have fallen
from the sky
and everything else in between
satelites have closed their eyes, the moon
has gone to sleep
unloved....unloved....unloved....unloved

here I am inside a hotel choking on a
million words I said
cigarettes have burned a hole and dreams are
drunk and penniless
here I am inside my father?s arms
all jagged-bone and whiskey-dry
whisper to me sweetly now and tell me I will
never die
unloved....unloved....unloved....unloved

here I am an empty hallway
broken window, rainy night
I am nineteen sixty-two and I am ready
for a fight people crying hallelujah
while the bullet leaves the gun
people falling, falling, falling and I don?t know
where they?re falling from
are they
unloved....unloved....unloved....unloved

hoping that the kindness will lead us
past the blindness and
not another living soul will ever have to feel
unloved....unloved....unloved....unloved
unloved....unloved

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything
so bad...so bad
Cardboard masks of all the people
I've been
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
dented God Damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never
wanted anything so bad...
so bad
I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Facing forward
Be yourself
just be yourself
just be yourself
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Heart in hand

I flagged a taxi long before you woke
The sun had not yet risen, morning not yet broke
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

A little starling swept above my sleepy head
He plucked a single hair and took off
Laughing madly as he fled
The driver drinking brandy
Said, "Here is to the day"
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

And every breath I ever took
Every tear I ever wept
Every star I wished upon
Seemed nothing until now
Every prayer I ever said
Seemed strangely answered now
Could it be I'm in love?
Could it be I'm in love?

I made the driver park the car beside the sea
I gazed upon the fading dark
And slowly buckled at the knees
The driver drinking gladly said
"Here is to the day"
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

And every breath I ever took
Every tear I ever wept
Every star I wished upon
Seemed nothing until now
Every prayer I ever said
Seemed strangely answered now
Could it be I'm in love?
Could it be I'm in love?

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

No I will not lay down
I will not live my life like a ghost in this town
I am not lonely swear to God I'm just alone

I'm back on my feet
I can just close my eyes and forget everything
My house is empty, every memory blown away

Oh the sound of the wind through my bones
makes me laugh
at all the bodies I kissed and never knew
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
falling down to the floor
just barely out of reach from me

No I will not go back
every word thats been hiding inside of my head
is running blindly look behind me nothing's left

I can sit in a room
I can hear myself breathing and be quite amused
life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin

Oh the sound of the wind through my heart
makes me glad
for all the ones that never knew my name
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
I had to go
could not stay here
they were always out of reach from me

Leave me now, don't hang around
Just close the door
and leave the key under the plant outside
The one you bought me years ago
look how it's grown

Go away, you cannot stay here
Take your heart off of your sleeve
and let me catch my breath
I hope you haven't left a thing

It's hard enough to be here without your love
It's hard enough

Move along, you don't belong here
Wipe yourself off of my floor
and let me get some sleep
I cannot keep you in my heart

It's hard enough to be here without your
to be here without your
to be here without your love

It's hard enough
It's hard enough

Leave me now, don't hang around
Leave me now, don't hang around

I know that you're sorry
I know you've been drunk all week
I know that you did not mean to
Spit out those profanities
I know you're a loser
I know you've had bad skin all your life
I also know you will never find a wife

Someone who could love someone so hard
And you are
And you are

I don't think you're ugly
I just think the world has made you weird
I doubt very much you even hear
anything I say to you
What's that on your shoulder?
Don't you know it's pulling you apart?
Every vein connected to your heart

Nobody could love someone so hard
I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend

I think that you need me
Even though you tell yourself you don't
I will love you even though you won't
I will be your confidant

Won't you let me hold you?
Won't you let me kiss you on the mouth?
Oh I know you'll tell me to get out
It doesn't matter any way

I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend, My friend, My friend
I know you so well
I know you so well
I know you so well

I don't know how I'll get by without you
I'll be wrecked, I'll be ruined
I don't know how I'll get past tomorrow
I bet I'll be broken open wide

I don't think I told you, I feel terrible
I've been sitting in this chair since Sunday
In the same clothes with unwashed hair
Nothing moving, I feel unusual

Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone
And I cannot remember when I was happy

Can you feel my heart beating like a thunder ball?
Can you hear every sound
I'm making in the darkness
Without breathing
Nothing moving
I feel peculiar

I don't know, I can't tell
If I am...myself
If I was a good girl would I be here?
If I was so stupid then what was what you did?
You were not a good thing for me

Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone
And I cannot remember when I was happy

I don't know, I can't tell
If I am...myself

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet live
Oh, I've had the sun on my face
I had fallen to my knees and been amazed
I have walked beneath the brilliance of a perfect sky

Oh I am saved
Saved

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet life
Oh I have a beautiful friend
I am breathless from the mercy of a smile
I am standing on the brink of the most perfect love

Oh I am Saved
Saved

I am saved
I believe
I am not going to be like I was
I have changed
I am saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
I have torn them into tiny bits of rain
Oh the sun has dried those memories like I knew it would

Oh I am saved
Saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want (2 x's)
Yes, I am saved

I don't mind if you stay longer
You have not been any trouble
I don't want you to go home yet
can you stay just stay ten more minutes

You are my best friend
I don't know how I'd live
How I love you
every square inch
Love your brown eyes
your forgiveness

Don't go home now
It's past midnight
You can sleep here
we'll have breakfast
Yes

You are my greatest gift
I don't know how I'd live
You are my saving grace
You are by heart my true friend

Don't worry, the sun is just around the corner and
Don't worry, the downpour of unhappiness is over
I can see you now so clearly crawling on your bloody knees
And everything you thought was going wrong was really nothing after all

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
Shooting horses

Don't worry the sun is shining on the ugliness
Don't worry there really is a God up in heaven
Skies so blue they'll break your heart where angels carry soldiers off
And everything you thought would pull you down into the fiery depths of hell

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
They're shooting horses

You don't know how hard I tried to keep you well - to keep you well
You don't know how much I need you - lean on me - save yourself

Don't worry the sun is just around the corner and
Don't worry the downpour of this heaviness is over
I can see us now so clearly laughing like we always did
And everything you thought was going wrong was really nothing after all

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
They're shooting horses

I don't know why we have to die
I don't know a thing about this life
I know the punishment don't always fit the crime

But I will get by
I will get by

I know this drinkin's gonna take me down
I feel the sin inside my body now
Oh mercy mercy forgive my lack of will

Oh I...I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by

Don't want to go to hell
Can't hardly stand myself
I'm like a weed at the side of the road
Nothing but filthy air
Gotta get out of here
I'm like a weed and you know how hard they can be to kill
And you can't kill me

I don't know why a broken heart
Can hurt you more than having your hand cut off
I've come to save you but you're already gone

Oh I will get by (3 x's)

Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will still live on and on

But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky
in letters that would soar a thousand feet high
To Sir with love.

The time has come
for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn.

What, what can I give you in return
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
but I would rather you let me give my heart
To Sir with love.

But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write
across the sky in letters that would show
a thousand feet high
To Sir with love
