"Free"
I`ve been walking around all day, thinking
I think i have a problem, I think I think too much
I`ve been tought to hold back my tears and avoid them
But you`ve made pain into something I could touch
I`ve been walking around all day, laughing
Think I`d be better off without you here
And I bet you are sweet and hard to get over
So I`ll cry and people will stop and stare
Now thats ok, let them stop and stare...
Coz I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...
I`ve been walking around all day, waiting
And waiting is all I seem to do
cause I never get it unless I`m fed it
But this time I'll just have to
Yeah this time I'll just have to...
And I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...
Say you're not around... am I finished?
If you`re not around that's too bad
Hope youre safe and sound, not alone now
cause you know I belive in you...
I am so fragile
I am so hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...
And I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...
Cos I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free
"You're The Only One"
Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did, and you fell, hard on the ground
Then you stumbled around for a good ten minutes
And I said I'd never seen anyone look so dumb before
And you laughed and said I still know how to turn you on though
You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean
And I probably forgot to tell you this
Like that time when I forgot to tell you about the scar
Remember how uncomfortable that made you feel?
See you're not what I expected
But you're the only one who knows how to handle me
And you're such a great kisser and I know that you agree
You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean
I hope you can forgive me for that time
When I put my hand between your legs
And said it was small
Cuz its really not at all
I guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down
Just to keep you around
Cuz the day that you realize how amazing you are
You're gonna leave me
You're the only one who
Holds my hair back when I'm drunk and get sick
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean
You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean
Exactly what I mean
Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did, and you fell, hard on the ground
"Just A Little Bit"
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there.
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
Asking for your time
Clearly, clearly I remember
Nervous if ever confronted
And questioning myself
Perhaps, perhaps if I got better
Perhaps if I challenged myself
Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
Maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Pulling up my shirt
Staring blank ahead
Clearly, clearly I remember
Days of useless crying
Almost feeling dead
Perhaps, perhaps if I was smaller
Perhaps, I could control myself
Perhaps if I was
"Blame It On Me"
The rain falls on your days
giving you a reason for mysterious ways
behind doors the darkness falls
you pour a cup of cofee, and get talking walls
But you can blame it on me
and the person you thought I wanted you to be
but don't you blame it on love
'cause you will regret it then, and from now on.
Besides from days gone by
hours seem so slow you think you'll surely die
you decide to call up a friend
when she doesn't answer you are close to the end...
"My Lullaby"
Mom,
please tell me what to do,
I'm so disappointed in you,
You said those words that made me cry,
And you always wondered why,
why I sing my lullaby,
Mom,
please hurry home to me,
I waited up so patiently,
You sat down and start to cry,
But you never ask me why,
Why I sing my lullaby,
Why I sing my lullaby,
Was it my fault they lead you in the wrong direction,
Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection,
I show you and I start to cry,
still you always wonder why,
why i sing my lullaby
Mom why love me if your cold,
You'll just get bitter then grow old,
Ask me when I start to weep,
Then I'll tell you in my sleep, Why I sing my lullaby [x5]
"Take You With Me"
November came down hard this year
And I saw you standing clear of the rain
Falling free but I was ready to finally come clean
Observe me in my circus show
On a thin line as I take the rope
And lose my grip
But you pull me back
With your hand in my hand
And our feet all in line
Im ready take you with me
To take you with me
November came down hard this year
And I saw you standing clear of the rain
Falling free but I was ready to finally come clean
Your hand in my hand
And our feet all in line
Im ready take you with me
To take you with me
Your hand in my hand
And our feet all in line
Im ready take you with me
To take you with me
"What's Another Day"
You give this way more thought than it deserves
You say when I tell you about my fear of reajection
I wouldn't know better than to get scared
'Cause since we met we've had this great connection
"You know concrete colored buildings all grow stale!"
You say as I look up dreaming
I know better then to include the both of us
But I can't sleep...
When you're gone
And you say
"what's another day?"
This stage of oblivion I find comfortable
And prior to this I never spoke
You say you understand my bsence now
And why I never tell jokes
You know...
Whats another day?
When we're already getting used to gray
What's another day?
If inspiration grows out from this
What's another day?
From silance is the next best thing to bliss
And we're all getting used to hearing you say
You know... [x2]
"Lose Control"
Oh ohoh ohoh
Shame on you for making me wait
Time and time again you're too late
And I'm about to make a mistake
so please hurry babe
just hurry
You might as well just take it from me
You said that I should take it from you
but I don't know if I agree
so please hurry babe
but don't you worry
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not convinced that I am worthy of your time
And I will do what it takes to make you mine
so sit back, relax, enjoy my show
this could be funny
Oh, I'm about to lose control oh ohoho ohoho
My back is acing, my feet are sore
But I'm still waiting, looking for more
I'm gonna stay here on the floor
but just you hurry babe
oh just hurry
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not convinced that I am worthy of your time
And I will do what it takes to make you mine
so sit back, relax, enjoy my show
this could be funny
'Cause I'm about to lose control oh ohoho ohoho
[x2]
"Shadow"
I wish you'd see it on my face
But I'm caught up in those long lost days
And how can I then make you see
When I don't even know me
Following my footsteps home
This time I'm walking alone
Trying hard to be someone
I don't even know
I feel like a shadow
Walking behind who you think I am
Just like my shadow
Wanting to see the sun again
I'm your shadow
And I'm lost
Just like my shadow
Thought I'd light me bright and new
But my candle burnt out long before you
Now I'm the one who's got to pay
I'm finding me a better day
"Your Glasses"
What could you possibly see in me?
Is it my soul hung out to dry?
I think my dysfunctional family
Has shaped it thoughtout my life
What could you possibly like in me?
Do you like my ability to bend?
I think my fear of intimacy
Has shaped the time we spend
No it's not you it's me
And it's not us it's them
Sure it's not her
It's the way she moves you
But she kisses harder then me
She kisses harder then me
I always looked in through your glasses
But all I could see
Is the specter of me reflected
The empty shell of me
What could you possibly love in me?
Is it the way I wear my smile
It hangs from the tipof my tongue you see
Oh this might take awhile...
No it's not you it's me
And it's not us it's them
Sure it's not her
It's the way she moves you
But she kisses harder then me
She kisses harder then me...
"Sorry"
Vague sound of rain
pierces through my song again
but I get distracted by the way his toes move when he plays
so I let it burn
I just poured my heart out
there's bits of it on the floor
And I take what's left of it and rinse it under cold water
And call him up for more
And I say baby, yes I feel stupid to call you, but I'm lonely
And I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me
And I thought maybe if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too
He said I'm sorry
so sorry
I'm sorry
so sorry
He grabs my wrists
as my fingers turn into angry fists
and I wisper why can't you love me, I'll change for you
I'll play the part
And I say baby, so I feel stupid to call you, but I'm lonely
And I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me
And I thought maybe if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too
He said I'm sorry
so sorry
I'm sorry
I am sorry
[x2]
"A Few Small Bruises"
Out here on the ledge
I'm not far away from stepping off
I finally picked out my cloud
It's the one over there surrounded by all that air
You reached out your hand
And said "I understand"
So why not come down?
Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine
Thank you for asking!
I'm so glad we had this moment here alone
I know they think I'm crazy
But everything I am, is everything I was taught to be
Except...
As you read my words out loud
Make me sound genius
Make me sound special
And mabye I'll come down... |
