I'll push you away
01:05
|
|||
how should I know
if you want any part of me
if you follow your heart
it's just a trail of arteries
and you
in my arms with your glasses on
still don't seem to manage to see
you're the only one I want
you're the only one I want
as the night ends
I'll push you away
I get the sinking feeling you don't want me to stay

Super Want!
03:35

I hope she wants to know me, cause I don't think I can play this game
the one where we pretend that maybe and certainty are the same
I will walk the fine line, between lust and hope
I will set myself up, to get knocked down so low
does she see the signs, the she was looking for
I just need her to know
I have never wanted anyone so damn much
I wonder if she feels the spark, that I feel when we lock our eyes
it's a mystery to me I need to solve before I go and lose my mind
|
||||
3. |
just ignore it
02:50
|
|||
life don't make a lost of sense
neither did you
guess in the end my friend
I liked your lies better than your truth
when all your problems stack so high they sway
give it that sweet silence baby
and it'll go, it'll go, it'll go away
so go and do that little dance
the one you do at night
where you lay around unable to sleep
wondering why
just ignore it baby
|
||||
4. |
she doesn't know
03:45
|
|||
something in her eyes, makes me feel so sad
I can see that spark, that I'll never have
oh sure she smiles at me, as she passes by
but she won't give me any time
woah is me, if only longing could move the sea
she doesn't know, she doesn't know, she doesn't know
how she breaks my heart
she still has my heart, no it's not all bad
if there is another, I'll come and take it back
but I have my doubts, someone will come by
who gives me that kind of high
woah is me, if only longing, could make her see

alone
02:14
|
|||
I don't like the way it don't come together
when our schedules say we can't align
I don't like the way the clock moves so slowly
cause its your arms I want the clocks arms are no friend of mine
I like to be alone with you
I don't like the wait, the money, or the weather
cause I don't think they show me what I need to know
I don't like the times that we have to sever
cause I've yet to find a good way, to let go
somewhere in the feast of your body
is a connection I need to feel
cause everything else seems a bit to gawdy
yeah not much here seems real
so if you see fit to let me in
don't see fit to let me go
cause you fit where the others left a hole
I don't like the way we never get ahead
we just always get pushed to the back of the line
I don't even know what we're standing here for
when we can sneak off and go somewhere and hide

atlantis
03:21
|
|||
you're just as lost, just as confused
as all those other fools
but you don't seem to give a damn
about anything other than
what you feel, what is true
that's what I love about you
let's
take it slow, take it so slow, take it so slow til time stops
and we fall down in sheets that get so soaked that we
can pretend we're in atlantis
and no one can call us, and no one can write
and you're right by my side
oh you're right next to me
there's an angel, in your heart
and there's a devil , in those other parts
and you've been hurt, but you keep moving
you don't give up, you don't see ruin
|

eyes like vines
02:32
|
|||
I could stay on this static filled phone
if you were on the other line
talking of death and bad dreams
and telling jokes all night
la de dah, I feel into your green eyes
la de dah, they grew on me like vines
la de dah, I want to hear your secrets
la de dah, I hope you're one of mine
I wonder at times what you're thinking
and I hope you start to find
any excuse or reason
to invite me inside
|

I hope he didn't notice
02:22

if ever
02:39
|
|||
you and I make for
the odd pairing
I'll be the secret
that's not worth sharing
someone went and messed with your precious heart I've seen it all
drowning all the anger and bullshit with pills and alcohol
I will give you my word that if you're falling down, I'm here for you
if ever if ever, you need that
let's pretend that no
one can infiltrate
this little hideaway of
blankets and pillows we made
go and hide, but come back soon
go and hide, but come back soon, I miss you

where I started again
03:27
|
|||
go and place your bets, I know how this one plays out
think so much about your debts, and you're focused on the same route
putting your heart, into things that fall apart with time
we spin round in circles, you raise my thought and then
I'm right back down to where I started again
what was the point of that? if we all know how this one plays out
I like what I see deep in your eyes, don't pretend you have no doubts
when this world falls apart
I won't be
sorry that I held you close
I won't regret
the paths we both chose
and I'm not done loving you
|
||||
12. |
so nice
05:16
|
|||
you got me throwing things away
I don't like that part of it
I think you have fun making me wait
I don't like that part of it
who else are you auditioning for that coveted part?
the one who you'll let in to play with your heart
oh I, will treat you so nice baby
sometimes I don't know what to say
I don't like that part of it
time moves so slow when you don't stay
I don't like that part of it
is this the part where you let others come and weight in?
I don't need anyone's thought when we're so close swaying
don't you hate it when things get tied up?
no?
is that so?
sometimes you're all that's on my mind
I don't like that part of it
when you say you want love yet I'm not deep in your eyes
I hate that
there's a part of me that wants a piece of you
but I more than want all the other parts too
I would treat you so nice baby

your soul got stuck in this body for a little while
tell a few jokes and get out before it gets to wild
every plane will crash, every passenger will drown
that's about the way I felt until you came around
I find salvation in the curves of your body
your soul got stuck in this body for a little while
have a few kids and get out before it gets to wild
everything is worthless yet the greedy want it anyway
I don't want anything other than lying in bed with you all day
if you were in a plane then love would be in the air for me
if you're down with that let's put the botch in debauchery
I find salvation in the curves of your body
|

14. |
||||
you made my whole life a drag
think your heart was on the rag
fuck you alo o o o o ot
for your birthday I forgot
maybe you found happiness
seems you were always gunning for less
forgot all the bullshit we went through
forgot how you'd always put the blame on me not you
forgot how you fucked me up emotionally for a year or two
the thought of you is still in my brain
it's the thought of me strangling you in the rain
so when you go to sleep at night
just know I wish the best for you in your miserable life

fuckin' around
02:32
|
|||
doesn't it seem like
we put people in charge
who say they'll help us out
but then they're just fucking around
so then we pick a side
and make a bunch of noise
how can you make it right
if you're just fucking around
that's enough of that
I met a girl one time
who knocked my heart around
I thought she was the one
but she was just fucking around
I lost a year or two
just pining for her touch
it wouldn't have meant so much
if I knew we were fucking around
that's enough of that
I'm not gonna take this seriously, ever again
at the end of the day
isn't all that we want
a situation where
we can all just be fucking around
maybe we shouldn't lie
maybe we shouldn't pretend
cause I'm sure in the end
this life is just for fucking around
|

you should fall in love with me
I'll hold you when you're feeling down
I'll make the funny faces and play the clown
you should fall in love with me
you should fall in love with me
I'm not the really jealous type
come and go but always know you're welcome by my side
you should fall in love with me
time isn't on our side
nor was it ever
but when our paths collide
I feel a whole lot better
you should fall in love with me
I'm not much for the holidays
let's celebrate the moments we get in this messed up place
you should fall in love with me
you should fall in love with me
even if we only fall apart
you'll always have a space inside my twisted heart
you should fall in love with me
you should fall in love with me

I like kissing you
01:58
|
|||
I like kissing you
I like running my hands up and down your back
feels like the first and the very last gasp
I'll ever take each time
hey there enigma
I wanna spin you round and round and round
hey there vampire
I wanna spin you round and round and round
I like kissing you
I like running my hands up and down your back
take the blues I feel and make them black
throw some stars in and call it a night
hey there actress
I wanna spin you round and round and round
hey there bad dancer
I wanna spin you round and round and round
round and round and round
I like kissing you
I like running my hands up and down your back
falling for you like some hopeless sap
god help me you feel like home
