i'm on high

I'm on high
cause you're my type
and you know
you're not mine
though I don't intend
to let go
I don't mind
I won't run
no I won't
i'm not letting go
not when I've found what makes me whole
don't think I'm ever giving up
don't think I'm ever giving up
fate don't have a clue
what I'd do to get to you
I'm on high
cause you're the type
who rattles my bones
when you laugh
it blows the dust
off of my soul
times so short
times so fickle
but I know
I'm on high
so if you don't mind
let's go
let's go

bad for me
02:30
|
|||
|
it's like everything I say
gets thrown on the window
and when there's nothing but rain
I'm left outside your window
running up a debt I can't pay
girl you are bad for me
and you know
and when you make me feel pain
it aiin't the pane of the window
if I will not bend your way
you throw me out the window
running up a debt I can't pay
girl you are bad for me
and you know
chaos wrapped inside disarray
girl you are bad for me
and you know
and the only thing we never managed to do
was to just sit their and enjoy the view

you're the worst
04:05
|

|
I want to tell you
you look so good
I'm tired and restless
and rarely understood
you walk away sometimes cause
you don't believe me
I lose my head sometimes cause you
just won't leave me
and it hurts
it hurts
baby, you're the worst
I try to temper the tempest
when you're not around
you're hovering in that sky while I'm
down here losing ground
I burn for you and while it
sounds obscene
each time you pass by me you're like
gasoline
and it hurts
it hurts
baby, you're the worst
have a glass of wine
raise your glass up high
here's to you making me feel like I've
wasted, all this time
I want to tell you
you look so good

she wants to disappear
02:53

she wants to disappear
and well
that's what really hurts
cause I was right here
for her
but she's obsessed with being
unglued, falling apart with all the tears that she's shed
she thinks she's all gone but she's stuck in my head
she wants to disappear
and while
it's good to get away
let me make it clear
I don't
think she sees she's pulling me
unglued, falling apart with all the tears that she's shed
she thinks she's all gone but she's stuck in my head
whatever floats your boat dear
whatever makes the seas clear
whatever you do to be fine
whatever floats your boat as long as it don't sink mine
she wants to disappear
and while
I used to try to keep her ashore
I really do fear
my friends
she got what she wished for she's
unglued, falling apart with all the tears that she's shed
she thinks she's all gone but she's stuck in my head
she's not the kind to disappear she just fades away

time gives me the screw
02:47
|
|||
|
I'm in a cycle of doom
day jobs and hotel rooms aren't enough
to keep my heart from falling apart
when I heard the blues
when we finally get close time gives me the screw
and I can't get enough of you
I'm in a boring loop
eat, work, and sleep til noon
still it's not enough
to keep my mind from freaking out when I
try to reach out to you
when we finally get close time gives me the screw
and I can't get enough of you

when it's gone
02:42
|
|||
|
run as fast as I
can to your house
run my fingers
across your mouth
don't let me
forget this
when its gone
stay up so late we
laugh at everything
take another crack at
holding on
to the evening
don't let me
forget this
when it's gone
all the time I was searching for substance
I mistook that for something
that could never be
all I want
girl listen to me
you're all I want
tell me secrets like you used to do
still feel my spine tingle
when I get near you
don't let me
forget this
when it's gone

let it fall apart
03:54
|

|
sunrise, sunset
all day, in bed
take me, take me
bad joke, eye roll
kiss your, mouth more
take me, take me
let it fall apart let it fade away and decay
I will be there, to hold onto
whisper, at the
party, let's go
take me, take me
let it fall apart let it fade away and decay
I will be there, to hold onto
to hold onto, yeah
eyes meet, lips meet
fears go, time freeze
take me, take me
let it fall apart let it fade away and decay
I will be there, to hold onto
to hold onto, yeah

here

and when you're here with me
I don't need anything else
no day no night no sleep
I don't need anything but oh
I know
it goes
and when you're here with me
I don't fear anything else
no doubt, no loss, no greed
I don't fear anything but oh
I know
it goes
and when our time does end
cause bodies fade and falter
I just can't imagine
the pain of loss I'll put you through
just know
it goes
but my love stays

one of my favorite rock records in a long time, recorded by Steve Alibini. Hell Yeahs all around.
go to album
The Air Inside Our Lungs

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Laura sings like an angel wiping tears off your face. Very mellow very pretty and I just can't quit the drummer in this band no matter how hard I try.. huh?
