Title
- Head under water
- And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
- The breathing gets harder, even I know that
- You made room for me but it's too soon to see
- If I'm happy in your hands
- I'm unusually hard to hold on to
- Blank stares at blank pages
- No easy way to say this
- You mean well, but you make this hard on me
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you asked for it
- 'cause you need one, you see
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you tell me it's
- Make or breaking this
- If you're on your way
- I'm not gonna write you to stay
- If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
- Reason to write you a love song today
- I learned the hard way
- That they all say things you want to hear
- And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
- Your twisted words,
- Your help just hurts
- You are not what I thought you were
- Hello to high and dry
- Convinced me to please you
- Made me think that I need this too
- I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you asked for it
- 'cause you need one, you see
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you tell me it's
- Make or breaking this
- If you're on your way
- I'm not gonna write you to stay
- If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
- Reason to write you a love song today
- Promise me that you'll leave the light on
- To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
- 'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
- Because I say
- I won't write you a love song
- 'cause you asked for it
- 'cause you need one, you see
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
- Is that why you wanted a love song
- 'cause you asked for it
- 'cause you need one, you see
- I'm not gonna write you a love song
- 'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
- If you're on your way
- I'm not gonna write you to stay
- If your heart is nowhere in it
- I don't want it for a minute
- Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
- There's a reason to
- Write you a love song today
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
- 'Cause somebody told me
- That's where dreams would be
- Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
- Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
- Gonna quit my job and move to New York
- 'Cause somebody told me that's where
- Dreamers should go
- Gonna quit my job and move to New York
- And tattoo my body with every Broadway show.
- Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
- Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
- And you say
- No fame no money I'm nobody
- The way I'm running has sure got me down
- On my knees.
- But next stop, Vegas please.
- Gotta get to Vegas
- Can you take me to Vegas?
- Gonna sell my house and cross the border
- 'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
- Gonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds
- And cross the border
- And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore.
- Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
- Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
- And you say
- No fame no money I'm nobody
- The way I'm running has sure got me down
- On my knees.
- But next stop, Vegas please.
- It's always just around the corner or you're
- On your way to somewhere
- That is bigger or better...
- If you could only get there
- It's never your fault you can't start your
- Own winning streak
- But I'd hate to lose you to the fortune you seek
- I'm gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean.
- 'Cause somebody told me there were
- Cherry blue skies
- I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
- And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
- I'll never realize...no
- Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
- Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
- And you say
- No fame no money I'm nobody
- The way I'm running has sure got me down
- On my knees.
- Next stop, Vegas please.
- Can you take me to Vegas?
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- There'll be girls across the nation
- That will eat this up babe
- I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
- Get down to the heart of it,
- No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
- Don't make me tell you again my love love love love.
- Love love love love.
- I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
- With her delicate soul
- I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
- To make room for the parts
- That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
- Love love love love
- Love Love love love
- Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
- Worth trying to be and it's
- Love
- Love
- Love
- Love
- I do it for Love
- Love
- Love
- Love
- We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us
- Oh,
- But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up
- And get started
- At keeping your part of the bargain aw please
- Little darlin'
- You're killing me sweetly with love love love love
- Love love love love
- Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
- Worth trying to be
- Love
- Love
- Love
- Love
- I do it for Love
- Love
- Love
- Love
- Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
- Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
- Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
- Baby's getting next to nowhere with her back
- Against the wall.
- You meant to make me happy make me sad.
- Want to make it better better so bad.
- But save your resolutions for your never new year
- There is only one solution I can see here.
- Love you're all I ever could need only one good thing
- Worth trying to be and it's
- Love
- Love
- Love
- Love
- I do it for love, love, love, love
- Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
- So give love, love
- Only gonna get get what you give away
- Love.
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- Just about the time the shadows call
- I undress my mind and dare you to follow
- Paint a portrait of my mystery
- Only close my eyes and you are here with me
- A nameless face to think I see
- To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
- A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
- My own devices....
- Could I be wrong?
- [CHORUS]
- The time that I've taken
- I pray is not wasted
- Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
- Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
- Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
- You take more than just my sanity
- You take my reason not to care.
- No ordinary wings I'll need
- The sky itself will carry me back to you
- The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
- The moon for you
- Just come down soon
- [CHORUS]
- The time that I've taken
- I pray is not wasted
- Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
- Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
- But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
- One sweet love.
- Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
- The southern rain
- As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
- But hope that there is a you.
- The earth that is the space between,
- I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
- Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
- Suicide...oh I wish I knew
- [CHORUS]
- The time that I've taken
- I pray is not wasted
- Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
- Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
- But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
- One sweet love.
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- I could use another cigarette
- But don't worry daddy, I'm not addicted yet
- One too many drinks tonight and I miss you
- Like you were mine
- All your stormy words have barely broken
- And you sound like thunder though
- You've barely spoken
- Oh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God
- 'Cause a clear sky just wouldn't feel right.
- [CHORUS]
- He's taken and leaving
- But I keep believing
- That he's gonna come round soon
- (He'll come round soon I know)
- You may be my final match
- 'Cause I chase everything when you play
- Throw and I play catch
- It never took much to keep me satisfied
- But all the bullshit you feed me you miss me
- You need me
- This hungry heart will not subside
- [CHORUS]
- He's taken and leaving
- But I keep believing
- That he's gonna come round soon
- Until I see him again
- I'm staying believing
- That it won't be deceiving
- When he's gonna come round
- Well I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
- Like I'm just one more tortured heart
- These cracks that I show as I'm watching
- You go aren't tearing me apart
- I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
- Like I'm just one more tortured heart
- These cracks that I show as I'm watching
- You go aren't tearing me apart
- The angels said I'd smile today
- Well who needs angels anyway?
- [CHORUS]
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- I'm not scared of you now
- Or so i say
- There's no reason to run
- Although i may
- I'm not as sure as i seem
- This much i know
- What does it mean you leave and i follow
- I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
- Through to me but then you do it over again
- I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
- Til you get to me on my morningside
- Keep my distance i tried
- No use
- But no matter the miles
- I'm back to you
- I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
- Through to me but then you do it over again
- I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
- Til you get to me on my morningside
- Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
- I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
- Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
- What it looks like here on my morningside
- Look back don't you dare let me start to do that
- I don't care if the things that i have
- Only make me afraid to lose i
- Need to let go
- Need to want to keep letting you know
- That we both have a reason to follow
- Long as we let this lead i'm barely breathing
- I try to forget what you do to me but then you do it over again
- I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain
- Til you get to me on my morningside
- Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
- I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
- Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
- What it looks like here on my morningside
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- Time to tell me the truth
- To burden your mouth for what you say
- No pieces of paper in the way
- Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
- The opposite sides on which we fall
- The loving you laters if at all
- No right minds could wrong be this many times
- My memory is cruel
- Im queen of attention to details
- Defending intentions if he fails
- Until now, he told me her name
- It sounded familiar in a way
- I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
- If only i had been listening
- Leave unsaid unspoken
- Eyes wide shut unopened
- You and me
- Always between the lines
- Between the lines
- I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
- That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
- And stand in the center of it all
- Too late two choices to stay or to leave
- Mine was so easy to uncover
- He'd already left with the other
- So i've learned to listen through silence
- Leave unsaid unspoken
- Eyes wide shut unopened
- You and me be
- You and me always be
- I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
- I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
- Wait for me i'm almost ready
- When he meant let go
- Leave unsaid unspoken
- Eyes wide shut unopened
- You and me
- Always be
- You and me
- Always between the lines
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
- Don't think I need to tell you more
- I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
- Still I got nothing to show for it.
- Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
- Here's a simplification of everything we're going though
- You plus me is bad news
- But you're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
- But my friend said I look better without you.
- Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
- Babe, baby believe me
- If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
- Okay we'll do it your way
- But this is the last time
- You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
- Love on the rocks.
- You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
- We both just tired of the whole thing.
- You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
- And I just pretend I'm listening
- Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won't bind.
- Babe, baby believe me
- If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
- Okay we'll do it your way
- But this is the last time
- You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
- Love on the rocks.
- Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it's so nice
- Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
- Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it's too much
- If this bottle could talk
- Love on the rocks
- Babe, baby believe me
- If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
- Okay we'll do it your way
- But this is the last time
- You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
- Love on the rocks.

- There's a harvest each saturday night
- At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
- A place you can stand for one night and get gone
- It's clear this conversation ain't' doing a thing
- Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
- And i don't feel like singing tonight
- All the same songs
- Here in these deep city lights
- Girl could get lost tonight
- I'm finding every reason to be gone
- Nothing here to hold on to
- Could i hold you?
- The situation's always the same
- You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
- Stealing gold from the silver they see
- But it's not me
- Here in these deep city lights
- Girl could get lost tonight
- I'm finding every reason to be gone
- There's nothing here to hold on to
- Could i hold you?
- Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading away
- Am i gone?
- Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading
- In these deep city lights
- Girl could get lost tonight
- I'm finding every reason to be gone
- There's nothing here to hold on to
- Could i hold on to you?
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- There's too many things that i haven't done yet
- Too many sunsets
- I haven't seen
- You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
- You would've thought by now
- I'd have learned something
- I made up my mind when i was a young girl
- I've been given this one world
- I won't worry it away
- But now and again i lose sight of the good life
- I get stuck in a low light
- But then Love comes in
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- But send me the miles and i'll be happy to follow you Love
- I do what i can wherever i end up
- To keep giving my good love
- And spreading it around
- Cause i've had my fiar share of take care and goodbyes
- I've learned how to cry
- And i'm better for that
- Sing how far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Send me the miles and i'll be happy to
- Follow you Love
- Red letter day and i'm in a blue mood
- Wishing that blue would just carry me away
- I've been talking to God don't know
- If it's helping or not
- But surely something has got to got to got to give
- Cause i can't keep waiting to live
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- But send me the miles and i'll be happy to yeah
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- Been talking to God don't know if it's helping or not
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- How far do i have to go to get to you
- Many the miles
- Many the miles
- Oh send me the miles and i'll be happy to
- Follow you Love
- There's too many things i haven't done yet
- Too many sunsets i haven't seen
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
- She's got a
- Crush on the guy at the liquor store
- Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
- And she forgets why she came here
- Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
- For shame she says
- None for you dear prince, i'm tired today
- I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
- Cause i don't care for you fairytales
- You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
- She's only waiting on the next best thing
- Snow White is doing dishes again cause
- What else can you do
- With seven itty-bitty men?
- Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
- Says will you meet me at midnight?
- The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
- Would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair
- I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
- Cause i don't care for you fairytales
- You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
- She's only waiting on the next best thing
- Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
- Man made up a story said that i should believe him
- Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
- But i don't want the next best thing
- So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
- Can't take no more of your fairytale love
- Cause i don't care for you fairytales
- You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
- She's only waiting on the next best thing
- I don't care
- I don't care
- Worry bout the maiden though you know
- She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
- Appreciation
- But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
- Cause i don't want the next best thing
- No no i don't want the next best thing
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
- Something always brings me back to you.
- It never takes too long.
- No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
- You hold me without touch.
- You keep me without chains.
- I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
- [CHORUS]
- Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
- Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
- But you're on to me and all over me.
- You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
- When I thought that I was strong.
- But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
- [CHORUS]
- I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on
- The ground.
- But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
- The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
- [Thanks to Elyssa for these lyrics]
