somebody worth hurting
02:24

I would travel the distance in your eyes
to get to you, and tear you up inside
and reach in and shake your broken heart
to get a pulse to make it jump start cause
you are somebody worth hurting
there's more to life then fear, and since you've got me near
you should be able to see
the light you hide inside blinds me

speak to me
03:36
|
|||
|
speak to me it's okay if it's only lies
I'm not here for what's right
speak to me, it's okay if it's just your eyes
you're not afraid tonight
where you go is of no consequence
it's where you're at, and what I have to know
lay with me, let the stars fall down where they may
when you're naked there's no
mystery but we'll still hide this all the same
if you're not afraid tonight
where you've been, is of no consequence
it's where you're at, and what I'm diving in
if you can't hold on
don't worry I've already let go
and I
will break your fall
break your fall please
speak to me, it's okay if it's only lies

I saw you at the park
you made me feel like dying
I like the way you are
you know the way without trying
and when you said to me
I hate the way you laugh
I felt so alive then
I saw you in the dark
the light was barely showing
you slept out on the beach
your eyes were still wide open
and when you said to me
I hate the way you look
let's trade hearts you should feel this
I left you at the park
to go and start my dying
I like the way you move
a variation on flying
and when you said to me
I'll see you when I do
|

I was dying
but the death bed hadn't arrived
you were waiting
in the living room
talking on the phone, like an unsure bride
I'm invincible baby, I'm in love with you
someones at the front door
it's your man
I'm just the guy who pays rent when I can
trying to take off work so I can go for a ride
I'm invincible baby, I'm in love with you
I can't believe you
find comfort in him
and you know when he
pops the question
I'm going to run and hide
I'm invisible baby, I'm in love with you
|

be quiet be quiet
no one should know you're around
be quiet be quiet
just another boy in another town breaking down
don't let anyone else hear
what I say to you
be quiet be quiet
no one should know that you're here
be quiet be quiet
this is one of those that you hide to make it easier
don't let anyone else hear
what I say to you
don't let anyone else hear
that the girl was you

some other someone
03:28
|
|||
|
some other someone who sings about your silhouette and lets you steal the scene
some other someone who sells you on their sweetness and sends you sailing upstream
some other someone whose sermon sends you spirit soaring up our your seat
some other someone who sets you in his sights and then takes the time to see
he'll take the place of me
some other someone who seances summon up the spec tors that surround
some other some who sucks up all the salt water when you start to drown
some other second hand smokers whose cigarettes smell of cloves and sage
some other silly boy with a simple sign and salary who surely acts his age
he'll take the place of me
I don't know what to say
if you want to hear a lie, then I'm okay
some other someone whose super human senses bring salvation to your soul
some other someone who singes off the screams that I couldn't get you to let go
some other solider of love and or sport who supports every line in your script
someone unlike me who only took and could never give

one night fall
02:36
|
|||
|
this is it
it is over
I am staring at you
you are sleeping
I'm not trying to wake you
I am driving
it is late night
there's no one on the street
there's no way I'll get back anymore

dirty talk

i see god in you
02:39
|
|||
|
I see god in you I see god in you
and while you don't believe it exists I'm afraid
I see god in you and fear as an excuse
to hide away and justify why you won't shine
but you know where your heart is
so you can't get any worse
I see god in you I see god in you
and while you might not think you are capable of love
I see apocalypse and redemption too
within a handful of expressions you make while we dance to the songs
that fulfill your each moment, so you can't have any thirst
there's more to life then fear
and since you've got me near
you should be able to see
the light you hide inside
I see god in you I see god in you
and though you write me off as no more then a fool
I see god in you and death as untrue
and I'm not afraid cause I know there's so much more
then an ending that's made up
and this couldn't be my first
yeah yeah

make me an apple, make me a snake
make me a curse word, you'd never say
make me a little thought in your mind
that you stumble over from time to time
don't make me fall for you
make me a skeleton, make me a ghost
make me the thing that you fear most
make me the words to your least favorite song
and when the radio plays it, don't sing along
just don't make me fall for you
and if you feel washed up and beaten down
no one will listen no one will stay around
maybe it's cause of that thought in the back of your mind
that you stumble over from time to time

version of me
02:51
|
|||
|
see the less you really care
don't mean that much to me
cause the more you start to stare
well I guess we'll just have to see
what we can't
I know you've got this version of me
that you think can do no wrong
I know you've got this version of me
but when you see the whole picture
will you be gone?
every time you try to leave
I hope you go away
cause if you can not go
well I don't know what'll happen if you stay
|

i'm not worried
03:38
|
|||
|
I am not worried
it's just time it's just miles on the freeway
nothing is certain
I couldn't be more scared or happy
put your faith in me
I'm not scared, I'm just ill prepared
and if it's right there'll be no question
you will fall into my arms
I'm not that naive
and if I was you know you wouldn't hear about it
and if you should leave me
I won't forget you
nor will I regret your fine way
and if it's right there'll be no question
will you miss me
will you miss my love
will you miss me
well I'll tell you what
we'll meet again
and then
you will fall into my arms
|

take the love
03:10
|
|||
|
did you ever think you might be wrong
you might be my favorite one
but how you gonna know if you don't open the door and let me in
when you gonna take the love I give to you
did you ever think you might be right
I might be nothing at all
but how you gonna know if you don't open the door and look for yourself
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
I don't want your heart
and I don't want your touch
don't want you to think about it that much
nor should you carry
some kind of illusion
separate from the truth
that this is just something
that's temporary
you've got me to hold your hand
not that you'd want me to but
when you push me away I'll understand
so long as you know
if you're drowning fast
I'll be there within arms grasp
wherever you are
if ever you need

joshua jesty recommends:
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
by Measure
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?
go to album
Crisis Or Catharsis
by Quickening
amazing hard rock from Cleveland that is super underated.... not that I'd know anything about that.
go to albumIf you like Girl, you may also like:
Genuine Pleasure EP
by Genuine Leather
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears.
go to album
This Bay-Area based band offer modern indie songs with intertwining harmonies and searching refrains.
go to album
The New Orleans duo use a pastiche of 80’s sounds to create a glittery pop sound all their own.
