Baby, I'm stuck in the middle and I don't know why I find the words you sang to me 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, now Little bitty hearts upon my cheek Baby, you'll be on my mind Till I kiss you next time...
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 the page I don't think that either one of them are fit to be alive Oh, 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 And doesn't she know that she is doing it all wrong You can't tell a jok...
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 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 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, want...
Brown eyes will you wait for me to follow? I'm used to letting everybody down I've seen your face in our 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 come and now the love throwing everybody off Sleep just doesn't taste the sa...
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 It's not imaginable your love What I wake up to find All I'v...
I can understand all that you are I can even take all that you're not I can sympathize 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 sincerity But don't fuck me in front of me [Incomprehensible], they wait I saw the look you gave her Breathing in, begin again [Incomprehensible] the w...
Oh lover hold on 'til 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 anger will 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 Because the road I've chosen be...
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 sign 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 forge...

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'll try, oh I'll 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 I don't remember ...
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? You don't treat me like you said I won't tuck you in one last time I'm taking ...
No thanks No more No love I'm done I've had enough You're going off with her and I wish that I was but there's another 'can be' just because Alright Be on your way The kindest thing to say is not that you are falling for me say you'll come back to my arms again someday Oh 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 ple...
The last time I laid my eyes upon you You were blowing kisses and I was waiting in the car Something had died yet everything around kept turning Don't even know where you are Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon I've been looking 'round up and down to no avail And someday I hope to find the horizon I've been all around the world and nothing is clear The last time I held you it was head...
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 'Cause no one is the only one To fill the empty space I hold f...
I wish you bluebirds in the spring To give your heart a song to sing And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love And in July a lemonade To cool you in some leafy glade I wish you health, but more than wealth I wish you love My breaking heart and I agree That you and I could never be So with my best My very best I set you free I wish you shelter from the storm A cozy fire to keep you wa...
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 toda...
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 leav...
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 But all I have is your letter read, and I cannot get it out of my head And ...
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 I got so high as I was flying? 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? And people wake up, people get moving There's a life waiting here Get up, people start...
Would you please meet me by the water, baby? We'll have a really good time Would you please 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 m...
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 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 lightning come And bring the winds that scream And...
Only daughter You got your ticket too soon Holy Water 'Cause everybody's 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 Li...
Draw me under, cut me open Take my heart, I give it to you Call the thunder and bring the storm 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 And burn 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 And pause the tragic ending For I'm almost out ...
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 And don't expect anything And 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...
I think about how it might have been We'd spend our days traveling 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 out 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 fo...
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 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 wanna be the one on the hold? 'Cause you know I'll ...
It's a choice to stay It's a dream yeah and I wanna wake You have blood on your hands and I'm feeling faint And honey yeah, you can't decide I'm a drug you don't wanna give up Smoke your cigarette and make your love flow You poured blood in my heart, I can't get enough I'm drowning and you can't decide It's not about geography or happenstance You need to fly and take a chance You don't need to...
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 our from under my skin For I can't begin this yet And I don't know what my intentions are They're s...
all my life nothing seems to last just some names i'll soon forget and in the past i never take the chance to lead with my heart and not my head all my life i heard them but to hear those words from you just knocks me down and im spinning since i heard those words from you until this time i never seemed to mind not having heartache to regret but now i found all my clouds are silver lined its a...
Why don't you call when you say you will, my dear? Is it because I don't belong to you? And why don't you come 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 Why won't you play? Th...
Gone, she's 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...
