Joanna

Every little kiss I tend to hold
Precious in my heart
you've turned to gold
Love's not the word
to explain Just how I feel
It seemed like a dream but
I'm wide awake
And like the earth inside it
made me shake
Like a summer fairytale
but it was real
You set off a brand new kind of
spark inside of me
And I wouldn't leave your lips
even to breathe
The first time I saw you
you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks
on the 4th of July
I won't forget
and I don't regret
Losing myself deep inside of
your eyes
That night I'll remember
for the rest of my life
I cherish all the moments
that we spent
I only wish it never had to end
I can take a journey
in my mind to yesterday
I'll use the moon stars to
guide me there
A place so far away
but yet so near
Just to hold you one more time
I'd be ok
You set off a brand new kind of
spark inside of me
And I wouldn't leave your lips
even to breathe
The first time I saw you
you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks
on the 4th of July
I won't forget
and I don't regret
Losing myself deep inside of
your eyes
That night I'll remember
for the rest of my life
I feel I left my world
my life my breath behind
But I know the sun
shine on through
Cause I know that
again I'll see you
This can't be goodbye
We'll meet again
on the 4th of July
The first time I saw you
you were lighting up the sky
Like bright flashing fireworks
on the 4th of July
I won't forget
and I don't regret
Losing myself deep inside of
your eyes
That night I'll remember
for the rest of my life

Day after day I danced in your shade
My smile hid the pain
And I stored it away
As your credits rolled by
I stood as your prize
But I was craving so much more
Oh I was wasting away
Tell me why oh tell me why
Is it easier to hurt myself
Than simply say

Chorus:
I don't love you,
I don't need you,
I don't want to understand
Saying you love me
Makes it too easy
You can't fix me this time
Cause I'm broken
Oooh broken, we're broken

Night after night
I thought I could lie
But it was burning a hole

Chorus:
I don't love you,
I don't need you,
I don't want to understand
Saying you love me
Makes it too easy
You can't fix me this time
Cause I'm broken
Oooh broken, we're broken

I should feel guilty but I don't
We should stop, but we won't
Love it complicated always
In your eyes I see the pain
Boy you know I feel the same
Love Is complicated always

All the corners of my tainted heart are taken
Can you handle being second to my integrity?
I won't apologize, I'm selfish and I own it
Don't take it personal 'cause that's just me
Oh baby, that's just me, yeah

I'm a drifter, ooh, I'm conflicted, ooh
I'm addicted to being on my own
I'm a drifter who's sick and twisted, who
Who won't listen to anyone but me
So what's it gonna be?

All my bags are packed, the car is outside waitin'
Now I'm questionin' the promises of yesterday
And if tomorrow comes too fast, I won't be jaded
Got both feet planted, standing strong, that's where I'll be
Oh, oh, that's just me

I'm a drifter, ooh, I'm conflicted, ooh
I'm addicted to being on my own
I'm a drifter who's sick and twisted, who
Who won't listen to anyone but me

'Cause my mind is drifting every day
You can try to find me anyway
So I'm okay 'bout drifting away

All the corners of my tainted heart are taken
Can you handle being second? 'Cause that's just me
Oh baby, what's it gonna be?

Hey yeah, I'm a drifter, ooh, I'm conflicted, ooh
I'm addicted to being on my own
I'm a drifter who's sick and twisted, ooh
Who won't listen to anyone but me

I'm a drifter, what's it gonna be?

I'm watching you turning away
Wish I could turn back the hands of time to yesterday
I know I was wrong
I made a mistake
Now the only one I love is going away

[Chorus:]
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving
If I could find the words to say
That won't make you stay
Just when you're leaving
Just when you're leaving

I played you just like a game
But this player plays the fool at the end of the day
I know that I changed
I wish I had proved
Wish that I could make you see what I'm going through

[Chorus]

I wish that you would understand
I don't understand myself
I guess I'm way too complicated
I wish that you would take my hand
See that there is no one else, oh

[Chorus]

Just when you're leaving.

Wonderin' who I would be
If you were sleeping next to me
Would this room feel alive?
Empty walls are closing in
Feel your breath dance on my skin
Shut the doors in my mind
You never know what you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind

Chorus:
I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
(Sleep and let it wake me)
All I know is that I can't breathe
(I can see)
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me
I don't know, I don't know
Just let go

Wonderin' what I would say
If I permit myself to change
Let you live in my eyes
I'll do my best to not behave
Fearlessly I'll be afraid
Never walk a straight line
You never know what you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind

Chorus:
I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
(Sleep and let it wake me)
All I know is that I can't breathe
(I can see)
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me
I don't know, I don't know
Just let go

It's time to let go
It's time to let it go
It's time to let it go
You never know what you might find
Until you spread your wings and fly

The same
always the same
Bitter words are
all that remain
Of the dream that had
taken you in
But all her words were
dust in the wind
It's time
to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
Say
what's that
you say?
Time to move on
and you're in the way
Lets get to the end
and not turn around
She built you up so
she could knock you down
It's time
to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
Friend
there's nothing there
You're clinging on to air
You're reaching back
To something that
you never had
It's time
to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
To let it slide
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide

Looking just to lay my head
Upon the bed
Everything is out of control
Doesn't anyone know?
Reality is scaring me
It's hard to breathe
And sometimes in the dead of the night
I just break down and cry

[Chorus:]
All all we want is a miracle
To walk right through the door
All all we ever wanted is a miracle
A miracle

Craving for a way to escape
Ordinary days
Terrified to walk out the door
Will I regret what's in store?
Well can't you see you're telling
Everyone you're doing fine
And some, somehow we stopped believing
Now all we do is run and hide

[chorus]

Maybe someday things will start to change
And maybe somehow we will break the chain
One by one gotta pick up the pieces
Everyone's trying not to fall apart
All we're going through
All we're gonna lose
I'm keeping my faith
God, it's all I can do
Hoping everything doesn't come undone
Praying just to carry--carry on

[Chorus]

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

[1.]
I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever."

[2.]
Well As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending.

[1.]
I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak, and
This bottle of beast is taking me home.

[2.]

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
[Repeat Four times]

Little sister a few months old
Died in the crib it smelled so bad
Survived on the neighbors' milk you stole
Never knew mom and you never saw dad
Lost in foster home confusion
In your eyes, love's just an illusion
Defensive all your life
Wish I could make it all a lie
And say its just OK
And make it go away

You, you can lay down mama
Let me be your cover
Let me be your mother
You, you can break down
Cause I know that you can take it
Wish I could explain it
It's just this crazy life
It's just this crazy life

Just 18 had your first child
You were beaten, abused, and torn
Five years on when the paper's filed
Still you never knew when you were born
So mama tell me a bedtime story
Say a little prayer so not to worry
Make a wish up in the air
Say a word and I'll be there
To make it all OK
To make it go away

You, you can lay down mama
Let me be your cover
Let me be your mother
You, you can break down
Cause I know that you can take it
Wish I could explain it
It's just this crazy life
It's just this crazy life

So sleep tight

Well, I've been spendin' so much time
Defending and denying
All my doubts and my suspicion
It's my gentle disposition

But this person that I met
And I like so much, I've said
Won't you come into my life?
Now he's showin' a different side

I can't seem to wake up
Wise up and walk away
But I can't stay and watch him fade

I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul

Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold
Someone I don't know, someone I don't know

There's still a moment in your smile
That if you hold for just a while
Is like a window to the past
To a day I thought we'd last

But every night your empty gaze
Drags you further down the maze
And I won't follow, I won't fight
When it's so easy to just hide

I can't seem to wake up
Wise up and walk away
But I can't wait and watch him break

I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul

Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold
Someone I don't know, someone I don't know

I can't feel ya, I can't love ya, I can't hold you
I can't feel you, I can't love you, I can't hold you

I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul

I want to tip toe through your mind
Dance with the stranger locked behind those eyes
I'm gonna slip right under your clothes
I want you to drive me to the edge of your soul

Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold
Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold
Cause I can't feel, I can't love, I can't hold
Someone I don't know, someone I don't know

I don't know, don't know

Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be what you're living for can't live without
Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be the only thing you think about
I'll be like your reflection
You'll find that you'll never get rid of me
I'll make a strong impression
Gonna bring you to your knees

Chorus:
I'm gonna mess you up so bad
I'm gonna drive you completely crazy
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me

Gonna be your obsession
You're gonna think of nothing
Nothing but my touch
Gonna be your obsession
Gonna be addicted to me like a drug
Gonna get your attention
I'm gonna make sure that you're in too deep
Your heart will be my possession
Gonna give it all to me

Chorus:
I'm gonna mess you up so bad
I'm gonna drive you completely crazy
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me

I'm gonna wreck your best laid plans
I'll make it so you just can't escape me
Be the best thing you ever had
I'll make you love me
I'll make you love me
You're gonna wish for the taste of my kisses
You're gonna long for me everynight
And every day
Don't even try to resist
It's gonna be an obsession
