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 f*** 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 f*** 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...
If the elephants have past lives

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...
