Me or New York
03:54
|
|||
all of these faces look just the same
lookin for someone in me
all of em wanting to see how i’ve changed
i don’t know who’s to blame… me or new york
they keep on askin where are you goin
i don’t have the answer in me
they keep on bein so sure without knowin
there aint no place like home it’s me or new york
me and new york never sleep any more
we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
leavin before i could take it or go
now i’m tired and nobody’s going to care
what are we waitin here for it’s me or new york
outta these windows they keep on movin
i just wanna fall back asleep
all of their eyes on me faintly accusing
who are you tryin to be…
me and new york never sleep any more
we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
leavin before i could take it or go
now i’m tired and nobody’s going to care
what are we waitin here for it’s me or new york
late nights fade into
day light wired and
weary we dream all alone
the trains and my mind losin track of the time
one or the other must go
me and new york never sleep any more
we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
leavin before i could take it or go
now i’m tired and nobody’s going to care
what are we waitin here for it’s me or new york

The Other Girl
03:50
|
|||
i wanna be the girl who dances
the one whos called and never answers
i wanna take you down like a tidal wave
i wanna live inside your freedom
go home late and leave you needin
i wanna ride your fever til it breaks
and you’re the boy they all adore
you always get your way
they go in and out your door
and then you walk away
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be the one you never leave
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be your sweetest mystery
i wanna stay and rock your world
in a way that no one else can do
they’ll come and go you know i won't
i wanna be the other girl to you
don’t get me wrong you drive me crazy
its getting hard to keep behaving
but i can be good when i got so much to lose
haven’t we both got toys enough thru
all of the girls and boys i love you
so many ways i don’t wanna choose
and there’s nothing we cant talk about
i think my heart would break
if you ever started treating me
like just another game
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be the one you never leave
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be your sweetest mystery
i wanna stay and rock your world
in a way that no one else can do
they’ll come and go you know i won't
i wanna be the other girl to you

Judgement Day
04:39
|
|||
take this book of lies and burn it down
break your bank of rules
scrape your knees and bleed the fire out
flame to fight the fuel
hold your head up high to face the past
stare it in the teeth
question everything you never ask
the earth shall drink the meek
is there lighting in your veins
is there something that remains
nothings ever gonna change
so take yourself out in the rain
life is leadin while you wait
waitin for your judgement day
hypocrites and fools to line your tower
proof you might belong
justified and cruel the velvet hour
drowns out all your wrong
is there lighting in your veins
is there something that remains
nothings ever gonna change
so take yourself out in the rain
life is leadin while you wait
waitin for your judgement day
you woke up dead
you filled your head
with all this shit to crowd the pain
your promised land
slips thru your hands
the soul you sacrificed to save
is there lighting in your veins
is there something that remains
nothings ever gonna change
so take yourself out in the rain
life is leadin while you wait
waitin for your judgement day

Do It
03:43
|
|||
doesn’t really matter why
are you gonna be up all night again
its not up to you to figure out what’s going on
inside someone else's head
if you want something done what are you waiting for
if you don’t have enough gotta get something more
if you wanna be loved better start with yourself
if you want something done then do it do it
is this the life you wanna have
are you really waiting for the phone to ring
just take a hint get over it you’re all alone
have you never learned a thing
if you want something done what are you waiting for
if you don’t have enough gotta get something more
if you wanna be loved better start with yourself
if you want something done then do it do it
it’s a short time you're here and a long time you're gone
its the life of your time and it keeps moving on
if you have something left you been meaning to say
if you want something done then do it do it
no one’s here to tell you how to live your life
and you'll never find yourself in someone else’s eyes
if you want something done what are you waiting for
if you don’t have enough gotta get something more
if you wanna be loved better start with yourself
if you want something done then do it do it

Letting You Go
04:31
|
|||
This is the part where i walk away
Fade to darkness start this back off where u found me
This is the day i say i'm busy when i'm not
And watch u try to bring me back before i'm really gone
This is where i start letting you go
thÍs is where it all comes down
This is when i first begin getting over u
this is where it all comes down
This is where u start to scare me
Weaving me between your threads of fables gold and blue
dark as plunder smooth like heroin
i fly away on what you see in all ive never been
This is where i start letting you go
thÍs is where it all comes down
This is when i first begin getting over u
this is where it all comes down
and you could wrap me up
In boystained sheets and midday
morn until the sun goes out
tie me down til all these days gone by give up the
ghost
and fill me til i drown
i’m falling
i’m falling
theres no way out
i’ll break you
i’ll break you now
This is where i start letting you go
This is where it all comes down-
This is where i start letting you go
thÍs is where it all comes down
This is when i first begin getting over u
this is where it all comes down

Fighting for Crumbs
03:10
|
|||
damn my intuition here it goes
wish i didn’t know the things i know
youre backing off from me
i saw it happening
the moment she came back to you
you never said so didn’t have to
that sinking feeling always knew
and i don’t understand
you’re trying to hide it but you can’t
no need to tell me that its true
looks like it’s time to walk away
looks like my moment here is done
your heart is broken in too many pieces
and i’m not fighting for crumbs
did you really think i wouldn’t notice
it hurts the most that you don’t know this
i hear what you don’t say
i see it on your face
leaving out the truth is still a lie
looks like it’s time to walk away
looks like my moment here is done
your heart is broken in too many pieces
and i’m not fighting for crumbs
you want me here in case she breaks your heart again
you keep your second place i only came to win
looks like it’s time to walk away
looks like my moment here is done
your heart is broken in too many pieces
and i’m not fighting for crumbs

Is This What You Meant
05:40
|
|||
rushin through the world in your unmade bed
with your head on fire and your heart undressed
you can always tell when youre in my dreams
nothing but the clothes that you left remain
in a paper bag with a faded stain
you can always tell when i wipe you clean
aint no surprise you’d call me up today
aint no surprise i’m still the same
is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong
isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind
Don't u think I know I'm a joke these days
with a broken track and a laugh I've saved
From the time I almost gave a damn
Guess i built u up til u tumbled down
And u tried so hard just to stay around
U tried to love me the way I am
i never heard a word u had to say
so mad i couldn't have my way
is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong
isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind
still no less alone without your hand in mine
waiting by the phone after all this time
wishing i had one more chance to never let you go
wishing you’d come say i told you so
is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong
isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind

Anyway
04:05
|
|||
i’m bruised again i wear it well
the self inflicted tale they tell
i singed my hair i broke my nails
you’d love me then if all else failed
the night was long and dark and just
another dagger to my trust
i thrust it in until i bleed
i wiped my point for you to see
and anyway it’s over now
nothing left to say
i don’t know why i don’t care how
it’s over anyway
its broken in pieces
you got the space you needed
too late to try just say goodbye
its over anyway
i fell so far i felt so small
i shrank to not exist at all
i beat me up till i was sure
you gave me just what i deserved
i woke up every day afraid
my so called faith went up in flames
still i believed in all your lies
for the life of me i don’t know why
they got you wrong
youre not that strong
i don’t belong here
and anyway it’s over now
nothing left to say
i don’t know why i don’t care how
it’s over anyway
its broken in pieces
you got the space you needed
too late to try just say goodbye
its over anyway
you'll say i’m self destructive i constructed
all this tragedy
go tell them all it’s all my fault
you’ll tell them i was crazy
and anyway it’s over now nothing left to say
and anyway it’s over now
nothing left to say
i don’t know why i don’t care how
it’s over anyway
its broken in pieces
you got the space you needed
too late to try just say goodbye
its over anyway

There Is No Someday
04:14
|
|||
Fairy tales are made for children
no one cares if london's burnin
Down around you rainin pots of gold
even rainbows end and move along
The knight in shining armor strong
Goes weak and drops you in the road
And here you come again
To reach beneath my pillow
well save your penny I already know:
There is no someday
There is no once upon a time
There is no one day
There is no when the stars align
No wait and see no maybe we
can try another way
Our happy end will never come
There is no someday
Make believe is fine and well
when
all you need are lies you tell yourself
to make it easier to breathe
Windows don't go flyin open
Every time a doors been closed and
toads arent really princes at your feet princes
Wishes don't come true
Shooting stars don't give a damn
they're just like you they're never gonna change
There is no someday
There is no once upon a time
There is no one day
There is no when the stars align
No wait and see no maybe we
can try another way
Our happy end will never come
There is no someday
The storm will sleep far out at sea
the mermaids will be swimming in the sky
You'll hold me close and set me free
when horses grow a silver horn and fly
There is no someday
There is no once upon a time
There is no one day
There is no when the stars align
No wait and see no maybe we
can try another way
Our happy end will never come
There is no someday

I Hope It's Me
05:42
|
|||
your life is like a movie
your heart’s a thing of beauty
you spread your beats all over town
i don’t know how you do it
you make em all so stupid
they love you when you're not around
i've been seeing something thru the cracks
will i catch you looking back
when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely
when the traffic at your door is growing old
when you need a place to lay down your story
when the only thing you wanna be is home
when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding
the day the freedom stops feeling free
when you're ready to give all of you to someone
i hope its me, i hope its me
i’ll never let you see this
i’ll keep your dirty secrets
i’ll help you sweep the mess you make
but i can barely breathe sometimes
i wonder if you see the kind
of everything i wanna say
and yeah you're chasing what you feel right now
but someday you may turn around
when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely
when the traffic at your door is growing old
when you need a place to lay down your story
when the only thing you wanna be is home
when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding
the day the freedom stops feeling free
when you're ready to give all of you to someone
i hope its me, i hope its me
you could make me something no one else has done
someone just like you has never come
when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely
when the traffic at your door is growing old
when you need a place to lay down your story
when the only thing you wanna be is home
when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding
the day the freedom stops feeling free
when you're ready to give all of you to someone
i hope its me, i hope its me
i hope it's me

i always think of you at the wrong times
she’s close enough to kiss
i thought i wanted this
but when i think of you i change my mind
tonight i laughed so hard it ached
put a silly movie on
then we talked until the dawn
but you’re the reason why i’m still awake (yeah yeah yeah)
i wanna be holding you right now
i wanna fall asleep in your arms
wanna feel your breath in my hair
i wanna be wherever you are
tonight i stayed out late and i drank a few
she called at half past three
and i smiled in my sleep
but i still wished it were you
tonight we watched the moon til the sun came out
i took his hand in mine
and i went all warm inside
but then i thought of you and it all fell down (down down down)
i wanna be holding you right now
i wanna fall asleep in your arms
wanna feel your breath in my hair
i wanna be wherever you are
you said i mess with your mind
i chose to hear a compliment
you were only real when you looked in my eyes
i saw everything you meant
i wanna be holding you right now
i wanna fall asleep in your arms
wanna feel your breath in my hair
i wanna be wherever you are
i wanna be holding you right now
i wanna fall asleep in your arms
wanna feel your breath in my hair
i wanna be wherever you are
you were only real when you looked in my eyes
