I can't get to bed
But I'm really tired
The things in my head
You used to admire
In your sundrenched world
It couldn't be worse
Don't bother asking
And here comes the nerves
While I'm trying to bask
In your sundrenched world
I'm talking to you
But you're not listening
I don't know what to do
My heart is blistering
Writing this song
Tell me I'm not wrong
I close up my mouth
When you're around now
LyricsSuffocating in doubt
I can't make a sound
In your sundrenched world
I always wanted to be
The one you looked to
For the answers in me
I'm the one who took you
To your sundrenched world
I'm talking to you
But you're not listening
I don't know what to do
My heart is blistering
Writing this song
Tell me I belong
It's all been said
Once before
We fucked around
On your bedroom floor
I'm talking to you
But you're not listening
I don't know what to do
My hands are blistering
Writing this song
Tell me I belong
Tell me I belong
Tell me I
Tell me I belong

Old doubt and a girl by your side
She’s feeding your pride
As you go for a ride
Down the Star Mile
Worlds arise as she lets you come in
A duo begins
To the Hollywood Inn
Of the lonely
Chorus:
And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing
You kept in a safe place
Remember the face
Of the girl who had made you her own
And how you left her alone
All’s well at the base of the hill
You might need to fill
LyricsA prescription to kill
Off the silence.
Look down from your tower on high
And take in the night
Look her right in the eye
She’ll listen
Chorus
Life goes to those that are true
The regular news
Over playing the blues
With the light on
And if you burn the road
That’ll lead you back to her in time
I watch you turn to stone
You can’t find the sunlight
She’s moving on without you
The tide breaks
You watch the stars fade
They gather you back to their home
I guess it’s better than being alone
. . .

Way down, in New York town
Thinking about the way she loved me
There's a hole in my pocket
That's about her size
But I think everything
Is gonna be alright
Yes I hope everything
Is gonna be alright
The smiling face, straight in LA
The gifts are found at the bar
But I wish my car
Could drive to her tonight
Then I'd know everything
Is gonna be alright
Yes then I'd know
It'll be alright
The rain in New Orleans, forgot to end
But the mouths of the people are dry
LyricsAnd we watch and wait
And do nothing but sigh
And hope everything
Is gonna turn alright
But I don't know
If it'll be alright
But I look at you, warm in your dream
While your mobile dances above
And I think to myself
It's a beautiful night
And I know everything
Is gonna be alright
Yes now I know
It'll be alright
. . .

You're Sylvia Plath
As you drift from the bath.
I hand you a robe
And so it goes,
The moment'll pass.
You're Simone de Beauvoir
As you get out the car.
The way you read me,
No one can see me
Is you are.
And these photographs keep me alive.
Chorus:
Babe, here's your song.
Babe, it took too long
To find in your eyes
My best surprise.
LyricsYou're Nina Simone
When you talk on the phone.
You sing to me
And I'm truly
No longer alone.
You're Mary Cassatt
When people tell you you're not.
You're like a child.
All the while
I need you a lot.
And these photographs keep me alive.
Chorus.
And I wanna know what you know
And I wanna go where you go
These things remind me of
These things remind me of
These things remind me of you.
Chorus

So, we're alone again
i wish it were over
we seem to never end
only get closer
to the point where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
hush my baby now
your talking is just noise and won't lay me down amongst
your toys in a room where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
Lyricsi take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
photographs and brightly colored paper
are your mask you wear in this caper
that is our life
we walk right into the strife
and a tear from your eye brings me home
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
. . .

Shoelaces untied
You can dry your eyes
Perfect shadows alive
Behind us
This is the day i make you mine
The way your hair lies
sometimes unrecognized
All the way from these today
on a train
Nothing to say if theres still time
But you are the one
I've been wating for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today
Lately i've lost my tongue
Today you found the sun
I know not long has grown
LyricsWell i thank god u came along
But you are the one
I've been waitng for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today
You looked right through me
When there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself
Today... today
You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun t
Thats been baiting on today

I should know who I am by now
I walk the record stand somehow
Thinkin' of winter
The name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
Lyrics
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still
Oh I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
. . .

Somehow
I'm leading someone else's life
I cut a star down with my knife
And right now
I still see the way the moon
Plays this tune
Though our lights died. (?)
CHORUS:
My hands shake
My knees quake
It's every day
The same way.
Cos then came you.
Then there's you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.
Then there's you.
Then came you.
LyricsWhen I'm lost,
I look at my picture of you.
And somehow
I'll make tonight our own
I'll show you every way I've grown
Since I met you
And right now
I'll be the boy in your next song
I'll learn the parts and play along
If you let me.
CHORUS
If you let me,
I'll show the world to you.
Yes, if you let me,
I'll know just what to do.
Cos then came you.
Then there's you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.
When I'm lost
In your eyes
I see a way for me
. . .

You asked me to write a tune
All about the things that go wrong
And then you asked me to come home soon
To the place where I belong
But you stand on the other side
Of the line in this place
And you can't see me, you are blind
And this you can fake
No, this you can fake.
CHORUS:
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be
I scream that I wanna be
Anyone but me.
And I don't know if I can write about
Chosen walls and the things you feel
And I don't know if I can sing aloud
Closing doors showing you what's real
Lyrics
But I know when I close my eyes,
Late at night, there's only one thing
The night's shown that she can lie
[?], show me something
Can you show me something
CHORUS
What do you want me to say
All I know is love - it's ok
I'll write what I know
And you do the same
Tell me I'm sane.
CHORUS
. . .

What if you
Could wish me away
What if you
Spoke those words today
I wonder if you'd miss me
When I'm gone
It's come to this, release me
I'll leave before the dawn
But for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes, for tonight
I'll lay here with you
But when the sun hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
What if you
Could here this song
What if I
Felt like I belong
I might not be leaving so soon
LyricsBegan the night believing
I loved you in the moonlight
So, for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes, for tonight
I'll lay here with you
But when the sun hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
I could've treated you better
Better than this
Well, I'm gone, this song's your letter
Can't stay in one place
So, for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes, for tonight
I'll lay here with you
But when the sun hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
. . .

Looking from the window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
Who went further away
Want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I need you
All I needed was the love you gave
LyricsAll I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what?s mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
. . .
