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

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

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 ba 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 for real
Want to be your everything
Everything
Everything's falling and
I am included in that
Oh how I try to be just okey
Yeah but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you
And 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 ba your love for real
Everything will be alright
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

And 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

And 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 ba your love for real
I want to be your love love love

I'll fascinate you for awhile
My hands in wait to please, so well
When I wake to realize, all I'd done
I'll be breaking strings
And all you're gonna feel
Is undone

I will not stay if you ask me to stay
Do not ask me to stay because I will not stay

Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides

You resignation, don't simply file
Its not imaginable ?
Your love
What I wake up to find
All I've done is unkind
All you're gonna feel is untied
Untied

Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides
Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides
Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides
Why do we all
Why do we all

I'm so good at running away
You'd think I'd grown up on a train
And you're so good at leading them on
Who am I to bring you down?
I wonder why I'm still hanging around
Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
And I've known for years that we'd get here
And it'd be a shame to make believe, it's better to leave

And it's so cruel, the way I recall
I ran out of lies to take it all
My questions tell whether I am just afraid
But who are they to stand in my way?
I wonder if I just soldier the crown
Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And it'd be a shame to make believe...

It'd be a shame to make believe it's better to leave
It'd be a shame to make believe it's better to leave
It'd be a shame to make believe its better, better, better, better to leave

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And it'd be a shame
It'd be a shame, shame
It'd be a shame to make believe
It'd be a shame to make believe
Oh it's better to leave

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

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

> Would you please
Let me slide a few words
Under your door
And would you please
Let me slide a few words
under your door
The first 3 say ""I Love You""
The last 5 ""But I can't no more""
I don't believe in miracles (no no)
Not like I did before
And would you please
Let me slide a few words
Under your door
And would you please (yeah)
Try to understand
There's a paragraph or two
Devoted to the memories that we shared
In the dramatized songs about how there'll be no more memories
No more memories
And if you'll notice in the corner
There's a tiny little heart I've enclosed
Like a little surprise (oh yes i did)
And if you'll please ignore the smeared smudged writing
It came from the tears in my eyes
You're probably gonna get it
After a long day
You may not even believe it's true
I know you know, you know, you know my crazy ways
Yeah, but sleeping beauty is going to bed
She put a little tiny hole in her own head
Gotta find her own way home
Before she's dead
Yeah, but Sleeping Beauty is going to bed
She put a little tiny hole in her own head
Gotta find her own way home
Before she's dead
Woo Sleeping Beauty is going to bed
She put a little tiny hole in her own head
Gotta find her own way home
Before she's dead
Woo Sleeping Beauty is going to bed
She put a little tiny hole in her own head
Gotta find her own way home
Before she's dead

> I am tired
Of crying in bathrooms
And lighting drags
When I don't even smoke
Writing to no one
Sleeping with the hours
And sighing for a thousand things
So tired, ignoring your words
About a new girl
Watching flirtations
Whispered conversations
These Girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again
So blue, I'm scratching at nothing
The tighter you hold him, the stronger he gets
Inside I'm spinning, my lesson
Lipstick & perfume, and fanciful speech
My suitcase is packed by the door
In case he comes crawling, like he did before
Baby come get me, don't you look over there
And these girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again
And these girls, if I had my chance
Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night
And these girls, it's dangerous
It's not their fault
But I'm so tired of being nice
Anywhere that I go, they appear before me
And everybody knows I'm addicted
To the object of their eyes
And these girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again
And these girls, if I had my chance
Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night
And these girls, it's dangerous
It's not their fault
But I'm so tired of being nice
So tired of being nice
So tired, so tired of being alone...

how I can't can't
be your love but I
want want want to be your love
want to ba your love for real
want to be your love
love love love love love
want to be your love
your love love love love

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

If the elephants have past lives, yet are destined to always remember,
it’s no wonder how they scream,
like you and I, they must have some temper.
And I am dreaming of them on the plains, dirtying up their beds,
watching for some kind of rain to cool their hot heads.
And how dare that you send me that card when I’m doing all that I can do.
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you.
If the tiger shall protect her young, then tell me how did you slip by.
All my instincts have failed me for once —I must have somehow slept the whole night.

And I am dreaming of them with their kill, tearing it all apart,
blood dripping from their lips, and teeth sinking into heart.
And how dare that you say you will call, when you know I need some peace of mind..
If you had to take sides with the animals, won’t you do it with one who is kind?

If the hawks in the trees need the dead, if you’re living you don’t stand a chance.
For a time though you share the same bed, but there are only two ends to this dance.
You can flee with your wounds just in time, or lie there as he feeds,
watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed.

So for those of you falling in love, keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.
Throw yourself in the midst of danger, but keep one eye open at night

Why don’t you call
When you say you will my dear
Is it because I don’t belong to you
Why don’t you call
When you say you will my dear
Do you really think it would work out wrong

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

Why don’t you call
Don’t you miss me at all
Left a long long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind
And why won’t you place
The girl who loves your face
I may be a fool oh no
But I never understood these rules

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

So I grow up lonely for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cried
You were gone that day so you may have missed my goodbye
Sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
If you really cared you won’t go away
But what if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

When all of this makes the news
Will they remember to tell it right
Or will devils make off in the night
Can you tell me why a god so high has us fight

As she lays in bed in her piece of ground
Will they remember her blessed soul
Or just that she lost all control
Can you tell me why she had to die alone

People wake up
People get moving
There’s a life waiting here
Wake up
People get doing
There’s a life waiting here

When all our time is spent away
Will we remember the loves of our past
Or just that love never lasts
Can you tell me why
This little life
Goes so fast…

It's a choice
to stay
It's a dream
& I wanna wake

You have blood on your hands
and I'm feeling faint
And honey
You can't decide

I'm a drug
Ya don't wanna give up
Smoke your cigarettes
Make your love

You poured blood in my heart
and I can't get enough
I'm drowning, drowning
and you can't decide

It's not about geography, or happenstance
you need to fly, & take a chance
You don't need to soar to emptiness
Float on high, & forever dance alone

Your scared, scared, scared
cuz I feel like home

Hear your voice
Knew right away
If you were here
your eyes would say

There is blood on my feet
as I'm walking away
Rivers are red
Its starting to rain

I'm not gonna live for you
or die for you
Won't do anything anymore for you
Cuz you leave me here on the other side
You leave me here on the other side

(repeat 3 more times)

Not gonna shed one more tear for you
shed one more tear for you
I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you

At least not til Sunday Afternoon
Sunday Afternoon

Leave or Stay
Leave or Stay

Oh, lover, hold on
'Till I come
Back again
For these arms
Are growing tired
And my tales
Are wearing thin

If you're patient
I will surprise
When you wake up
I'll have come
All the ache will
Settle down
And we'll go do
All the things we should have done

'Cause I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
"I'll be here, if you would only come back home"

Oh, lover, I'm lost
Because the road I've chosen
Beckons me away
Oh, lover, don't you go
Now I'm fighting words
I never thought I'd say

But I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
"I'll forgive you all, if you'll just come back home"

Oh, lover, I know
You'll be out there
And be thinking just of me
And I will find you
Down the road
We'll return back home
To where we're meant to be

'Cause I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
"We'll be back as soon as we make history"

I really thought I was okay I really thought I was just fine But when I woke this time There was nothing to take me back to sleep To take you off my mind this time And I keep saying over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within a storm So have the lightening come Bring the winds that scream Spill the fog all over town Hold me in your standstill ground And I will sink down And you’ll be washed away You’ll be washed away Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I really thought I was okay I really thought I was just fine But when I woke up this time There was nothing to take you off my mind Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within a storm So have the lightening come Bring the winds that scream Spill the fog all over town Break through every door Strip away the trees Raise the rivers high Just help me drown Hold me in your standstill ground And I will sink down And you’ll be washed away You’ll be washed away

Brown eyes
Will you wait for me to follow
I’m used to letting everybody down
I’ve seen your face in every shadow
Does it look as pretty in the light
Oh, will you save me from myself
Will I save you from the rest
Oh brown eyes, save a little something for me too

Full moon
Is there wisdom in your tide play
The cold is coming now
Like love, you’re throwing everybody off
Sleep just doesn’t taste the same
I’ll be waiting
Till we’re side by side once again

Old love
How I wish we were an old love
Have survived all this and more
Oh, you’re turning everything to dust
And the wind is picking up
Oh brown eyes
Save a little something for me too

The last time I lay my eyes upon you
You were blowing kisses and I was waiting in a car
Something had died, yet everything around kept turning
Don’t even know now where you are

Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon
I’ve been looking round, up and down to no avail
Someday i hope to find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world yet nothing is clear

The last time I held you it was head to heart
The curtain was drawn, I left you sleeping so sound
If I had known forever after we would stay apart
I would have whispered all the things I can’t tell you now

Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon
I’ve been looking round, up and down to no avail no avail
Someday I hope I can find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world

I don’t believe in you
Like I so wanted to
I hope you’re asking heavens above
To forgive all the damage you’ve done
And if I did teach you anything at all
I hope that you learned how to love
But I doubt if I’ll ever talk to you after now

Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon
I’ve been looking round, up and down to no avail, no avail
Someday I hope we can find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world, nothing is clear
No no no
Nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear to me
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear
Nothing is clear…

If I could have one wish
If I could have somd say
I'd keep you far from home
I'd roll back my sleeves
I'd dig under your skin
I'd fix your shattered bones

Hold on
This may hurt you when I tell you of the truth
we don't get two lives to live
It's true
The only fault I've found in you is not being
free to take what I would give

If I could bend your pain into something good
Make you a prouder man
If I could rough you up then save you woth good luck
And show you hope again

Hold on
You weren't meant to suffer so very long
leaving love that's gone has never been al sin
hang tight
The only fault you have tonight is shutting down
so cold 'till I break in

Oh sad young man
I think I need you for reasons I don't know
I pledge myself to winter season
so It's perfectly in course but in the end it has to snow

If I can make you stay
Convince you'd be lost if we were torn apart
If it remained unclear between the two of us
Which one would be the one to break the other's heart

Hold on
This will floor me differently than any drug
that's washed me into sleep
It's true
The only fault I'll take frome you is how to run
frome what you wish to keep

Do you want to be my sidedish friend
Cause I'll miss you if you go for good
Yeah
We can stay together 'til the very end of time

[Chorus]
If it's understood that I don't want you hanging out with me
But I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately and we won't be lonely at all

Oh boy
Oh boy
I got to think about that
Oh boy

And do you want to be the one on hold
Cause you know I'll always come right back
Yeah
We can find a quiet place for both of us to go

[Chorus]

Oh boy
Oh boy
I got to think about that 'cause every time
(Every time)
I think I'm all right I think I'll win you over I hear you say
(Hear you say)

That I don't want you hanging out with me but I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately and we won't be lonely at all
I don't want to get too close to you
And I don't want you close to me

There's a back door waiting just for you if this isn't what you need
There's a back door waiting just for you if this isn't what you need

I think he’s in a jealous rage
She’s probably not the easiest one to live with either
There’s nothing worse than bitterness just splashed across a page
I don’t think that either one of them are fit to be a writer
Oh if she’d just shut up and do what she does best
Show a little bit of skin, but keep it all when she’s undressed
Doesn’t she know that she is doing it all wrong
You can’t tell a joke, yeah if I’m listening to your song

Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter
Is making me sick even though they say it doesn’t matter
Let’s put em in a room, or maybe they should stay apart
Or maybe words in their mouth
Yeah, let’s fuck with their hearts
Cuz nobody’s ordering change
So let’s watch everybody bleed
Cuz everybody loves an accident
And everybody loves what they read

I think he’s gonna be a big star
A voice of social change to rearrange the world’s perspective
But there’s nothing better than watching him go down
He could pick up a habit, or get in trouble that might be effective
Oh if he’d just shut off his conscience for one day
Take a cue from all of us and give us a song we could really play
Doesn’t he know he’s going down and going down fast
If he keeps on being difficult he’ll always come in last

Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter
Is making me sick even though they say it doesn’t matter
Let’s take away his toys, forget why we loved him at all
He is calling for backup, but we’re not strong enough to take that fall
And nobody needs to change
So let’s all go have a beer
Cuz everybody loves an accident
And everybody loves what they hear

Two sides working together then working against one another, oh brother
Two bad souls are destroyed, it’s the nature of business and all of its partners

Oh look they’re losing all of their trust
Oh look they’re trying to bite the helping hand that feeds em
We put clothes on their back and they took the money up front
Now they don’t like what we’re saying so let’s up and leave em
We could’ve done what they are doing anyway
Some shit about digging into souls and life’s lasting misery
We’re gonna take em down and do it on the front page
Oh and watch those hypocrites come crawling back on bended knee

Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter
Is making me sick even though they say it doesn’t matter
I’m becoming a bore now
I am wasting ashore now
We’re all busted and broken, but the subject’s unspoken
Cuz nobody really wants change
But it’s sure fun to advertise the fight
We’re feeding off each other once again
But neither one of us is getting any sleep tonight
I hope
I hope
I really hope hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I…..

I can't talk to you
You think I'm lost inside my mind
You're like an old tattoo
And I know you'll fade in time

I'm not the girl you think you know
I'm not the girl you waited for
I'm not the one for you
It's just one thing left to do

Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
Cause you don't treat me like you said

I won't tuck you in one last time
I'm taking back what is mine
For me
I belong to me, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm going faster
You're going backwards
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
I hang from the ceiling
I feel what I'm feeling
Should've been feeling it all along

I'm going faster
I'm going faster

That's the last black eye
I hope I ever give to you
Yeah, I had a good time
But what's a girl supposed to do

Take the pictures off the wall
They don't look like us at all
They don't look like friends
I've got new things to begin

Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
I belong to me

[Chorus]

I'm going faster
I'm going faster

[Chorus]

I'm going faster
I'm going faster

Draw me under
Cut me open
Take my heart
I give it to you
Hear the thunder
Hold me close
I beg of you

And pause the tragic ending
For just a moment more
Draw the dresser out
And slide it to the door

Take the air out of the room
Close the curtain
And kill the lights

Only seconds
Left to tell you
How I need you
Every night

Pause the tragic ending
For I'm almost out of breath
Whisper in my ear
Take a bite out of my neck

I'd give you blood if that's what you need
To stay with me
You'll be free
And I will die

Sing a song
For they all want to see
How it ends
Bring her along
She can stitch you as you mend
Bury me deep
Lest I travel you again

The tragic ending
Never ends

Do you love me?
You love me
I can feel it in my bones

In dreams you are swimming
Swimming naked out

Take the bottle
Out to sea
Back for good
You hurt her dear
Get a,
It chases me
I don't know that I am here

In this tragic ending
Where we've all those things to say
Wash the sheets
And clear your head
You'll be OK

Bury me deep down
In every song you play

The tragic ending
The tragic ending
The tragic ending
Saves the day

I can understand all that you are
I can even take all that you are not
I can simpathize with all you want to be
But don't fuck me in front of me

I can even scores with the best of them
I can leave my innocence at bay
You can turn your back on my sincerety
But don't fuck me in front of me

How could they, they wait
I saw the look you gave her
Beathe in again
May god the world do say you hurt

I could say I blame you for everything
Instead I think I'll recognize my part
Needing doesn't hide who I want to be
But don't fuck me in front of me

Yeah
Don't fuck me in front of me

No thanks
No more
No love
I'm done
I've had enough
You're going off with her
and I wish I was
but there's another can be
just because
All right
be on your way
the kindest thing to say
is not that you have fallen
for me say
you'll come back to my arms
again someday
Baby, write
some words about
how you can't shut me out
how you must find a way
to see me one more time
One more time
And please call up all your
friends and tell them it can't end
you don't know what you'd do
if you lost her

And lost me too

That's fine
That's good
That's nice
I understand the price
The cost of craving dark
instead of light
I flip a coin to see
if you still care tonight
My blood
My hand
My soul
I've thrown them onto you
without control
The things I freely give
you stole
And now I'm left in pieces

Baby tell
the world about me
the way you won me over
in a city you can't remember
You think it was September
sweet September
Oh baby
Oh it's all right
I know she needs you more than I do
And I wouldn't win this fight
But there is one thing
that you've gotta do,
you've gotta tell the world about a
girl you once knew
Oh she
wasn't meant to be

but you
fell so very deeply
in love

oh lover hold on

'till i come back again

for these arms are growin' tired,

and my tales are wearing thin

If you're patient I will surprise

when you wake up I'll have come

All the anger'll settle down

and we'll go do all the things

We should have done

Yes I remember what we said

as we lay down to bed

I'll be here if you will only come back home

Oh lover I'm lost

beacause the road I've chosen beckens me away

On lover, don't you roam

Now I'm fighting words I never thought I'd say

But I remember what we said

as we lat down to bed

I'll forgive you oh

If you just come back home


으으음 흐으으으음 으으음 으음
흐으으음 흐으으으음 흐으음 으음

Oh lover, I'm old

you'll be out there and be

thinking just of me

and I will find you down the road

and will return back home to

where we're meant to be

'cause I remember what we siad

as we lay down to bed

We'll be back soon as we make history.

I miss you most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up thinking
I could call
I could come visit
I could come running
We could relive it

But when I think of all that we've been through
Going back to you
Seems such a foolish thing to do
I hope you know
That even if I don't
I wanted to

All those words
You said at the ending
Were pretty revealing
And I can't forget them
All those ways
We missed at connecting
Despite all our trying
It always came back to
What I couldn't give you

So when I think of starting up again
Or trying to be friends
It seems impossible to do
I hope you know
That even if we can't
I wanted to

Who knows why
Two people perfectly aligned
Should ever have to find themselves apart
I'll never understand my heart

I miss you
Most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up crying

It's Saturday morning and we got off late
Baby, I've been missing you in the strongest place
All other days of the week have come down to this
Just kiss me, we'll be okay

There's no one around here that I would miss
Mad, if you were away

It's a little, it's a little luck, it's a little so oh, oh, oh, what
It's a little, it's a little love, it's a little love for what we've got
It's another day to start making up
Oh baby, just look how lucky we got

Saturday morning and we got no other place to be
Baby, when you're lying in my arms we seem to fit so perfectly
Oh honey, honey, please just stay right next to me
Maybe we could do this other day of the week

It's a little, it's a little luck, it's a little so oh, oh, oh, what
It's a little, it's a little love, it's a little love for what we've got
It's another day to start making up
Oh baby, just look how lucky we got

And it's a little, it's a little luck, it's a little so oh, oh, oh, what
It's a little, it's a little love, it's a little love for what we've got

It's a little, it's a little luck, it's a little so oh, oh, oh, what
It's a little, it's a little love, it's a little love for what we have got
It's another day to start making up
Oh baby, just look how lucky we are

How lucky we are
How lucky we are

If you would only let me
I could show you how to love
Take our time, let all it go

And if you'd would only let me
I could show you how to cry
In your darkest hour
I would lead you through the fire

But you won't let me, you won't let me
I don't wanna say goodbye
I just wanna give it one more try
And I'd do anything, yes, I'd do anything
If you'd only let me

With your hand in mine
I would show you how to laugh
Nothing heavy, nothing serious
Just forget about all that

You've been stepping back
I wanna be your friend
Tear down the walls that surround you
And build you back up again

But you won't let me, you won't let me
I don't wanna say goodbye
I just wanna give it one more try
And I'd do anything, yes, I'd do anything

So tonight stay with me
I know I could change your mind

But you won't let me, you won't let me
I don't want to say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try

But you won't let me, you won't let me
I don't wanna say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try
But you won't let me, you won't let me.

I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
But you won't let me, no, you won't let me
You won't let me

Baby, you've caught my eye, I think I might need you to stay awhile
For I haven't seen a smile
Quite as lovely as yours for awhile
Stick around, I'll be good to you

Baby, I think you know
When I get my arms around you, boy, I won't let go
When you find a spark to awaken your precious heart
You stick around and you'll see it through

I've been in trouble before with my pressured ember
I'm willing to take that chance again
And if we get caught in some crazy wind
We can just get swept away, what do you say?

Baby, make up your mind, 'cause you know I don't wanna waste time
We don't have a lot to lose, boy, decide to choose
Stick around, I'll be good to you
Yeah, stick around, I'll be good to you

You've always been a city boy at heart
I've always loved the other life lying underneath the stairs
I need the space you only find on the back road
But you're the only thing that feels like home

Baby, it's just miles on a car
Just miles on a car
I only need a map of where you are
There'll never be a place that is too far

I want my legacy to read
Ooh, she did her best to get her lover that was needed
The best things in life don't come for free
But I'll go the distance if it brings you back to me

Baby, it's just miles on a car
I'm just miles on a car
I only need a map of where you are
There'll never be a place that is too far

And nothing ever has to be so hard
'Cause they're just miles on a car, they're just miles on the car

Just miles on a car
Just miles on a car
I only need a map of where you are
There'll never be a place that is too far

And nothing ever has to be so hard
'Cause they're just miles on a car
They're just miles on a car
They're just miles on a car

My friends become my foes
And my foes become my friends
I tend to fall in love with the girls
My boyfriend ends

I don't work 9 to 5
But I'll always work the weekends
And each time I'll get the world
In my fingers something happens

I'm working backwards, forwards
And left to right
And I'm pretty darn hard headed
But I can't make up my mind

I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale
But only when the sun is shining
I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour
I'm an expert in the silver lining

I'll be there when you need me
For all the big things
But I'm really pathetic at perfect timing
And that's the way it seems to go for me

I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30
Most day I drink like a fish and tend to be too flirty
I am a perfectionist but only when things get dirty
I cannot stand small talk but I'm great at being wordy

And I'd rather leave you first
But then I'll be begging you to come back
And when I get real quiet
You know I'm about to attack

I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark
But only when everyone's celebrating
I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart
But only to help the heart that's breaking

I like to figure things out and make everything right
But I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing
And that's the way it seems to go for me

If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark
You will never discover the rest of my heart
And I want you to see that there's so much to see
Just before I declare you never knew me

He's with the small stuff like the world around was over
I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other
Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together
He likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weather

I may have left him first
But I think he'd been leaving for sometime
I feel like begging him to come back
But I can't make up my mind

I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night
But only to make for better dreams
I'll back the underdog in any fight
But only to fight for something worth keeping

I'm in it to win it, most of the time
And if it goes down I'll be kicking and screaming
And that's the way it seems to go for me
Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me
Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me

I don't want to be your mother
There's two sides to each other
You gotta meet me halfway
Won't you let me be your lover?

Don't be no lone survivor
I'm not going anywhere
I'm just trying to tell you how I feel
This one-sided love affair

How do I get the man in you to see
I'm so much more than the mother in me

I don't want to be your savior
Forgive your bad behavior
You gotta meet me halfway
'Cause there's so much to discover

Don't be no lone survivor
I won't leave you in the cold
I'll be standing right beside you
When you're feeling all alone

The only way to set yourself free
Is letting go of the savior in me

Baby, don't you shut me out
Baby, don't shut down on me
I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere
I only want to bring you back to me

Baby, please don't shut me down
Time won't bring me back to you
I'd be lying to myself
I'd be lying to myself
And that's the only thing I cannot do

I want to be your sweetheart
I want to be your lady
Oh, I want to get swept away
Let me cry for a change

Don't need no lone survivor
I need someone by my side
We don't have to make it perfect
Oh, but maybe we could try

Love me for the woman that I am
And I will love you for being just a man
Love me for the woman that I am
And I will love you for being my man

Ain't everyone afraid of being figured out
They're just a fraud, a blank charade
Some bluffing hand that's been well played

A bleeding mess, a passing fool
A lucky dog that's getting by on nothing
Promising or truth
You'll forgive me my masquerade

I'll never tell a soul
You weren't full on, full on, full on
No, I'll never tell a soul
That you've been faking it for so long

And ain't everyone afraid of being figured out
There's all these answers I don't know
Why do you think I don't keep you close?

And who gives you the right to see
Inside my lovely shelter, it's much safer to forget her
If you've never even known her
So forgive me my masquerade

I'll never tell a soul
You weren't full on, full on, full on
No, I'll never tell a soul
That you've been faking it for so long

'Cause there's no honesty, you'll never get to know
So many parts of me I never want to show
A little mystery I make up as I go
And I know I can be so different than you
At least, I hope this to be true

Oh, I'll never tell a soul
You weren't full on, full on, full on
No, I'll never tell a soul
That you've been faking it for so long

Oh, I will never tell a soul
You weren't full on, full on, full on
No, I'll never tell a soul
That you've been faking it for so long

There'll be a falling out that I've no wish to see
If we don't call each other out
Then we will both get off scot free
And you can be you and I'll get to stay me

I found that record you'd been looking for yesterday
The one I'd been searching for forever

I played that record all night, you were right
The last song said it all
Even though it skipped a bit, it sounded better

I never, I never, I never knew
The only way to listen to a record like that
Is to play it through

But all of this means nothing
Yeah, all of this means nothing
All of this means nothing
Without you

I packed up the car and started to drive
Without a plan, with no direction

You said it'd be good for me
To break out of my daily routine
You were always trying to teach some lesson

You wanted, you wanted, you wanted me
To feel the open road with the wind on my face
Well, I'm here and I'm finally free

But all of this means nothing
Yeah, all of this means nothing
All of this means nothing
Without you

You and I were partners in crime
Petty thieves in a line up
But somehow we wound up here

I'm looking at a letter that I wrote to you long ago
I wouldn't even know now where to send it
It's funny how it all poured out on paper
If only I had found a way to tell you

If only, if only, if only you
Had found a way to love me for who I am
The way that I loved you

But all of this means nothing
Yeah, all of this means nothing
All of this means nothing
Without, without, without, without, without you
