I swear: I felt it again
The tingling of the first night again Us moving slowly, Merle Haggard, the fading sun Well, there's nothing like you when you're gone I wear your sweatshirt again The one with the cast of Falcon Crest on The one I forbade you to use time and again Well it's sad, I keep putting it on A friend stopped by and said as quoted: ??I can't believe that we're here again Have you forgotten the women, the drinking, the Blues of the Eighties collection Oh my God, you're wearing your Lorenzo Lamas again??br>M-hm Yes, I am lonesome again! Yes, I am crying again! Yes, you are getting this letter again Because there's nothing like you when you're gone Never as tender and never as well dressed Never as handsome and never as good in bed Never had such good taste Never as much like me Well, there's nothing like you when you're gone |

> You call me up in the mornings
Well stay on the phone until dawning You tell me secrets I actually keep You call me up around noon and Bring me all the good gossip You hold my head when I throw up I hold your hand when you weep And we talk about friends And we talk about records Talk about life And well talk about death And we dance in the living room Dance on the sidewalks, dance in the movies Dance at the festivals, dance, dance No men ever really dance like this Damn! I wish I was a lesbian Damn! I wish I was a lesbian Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too So I could fall in love with you You call me up in the evenings And tell me what they did this time No matter what, Im by your side When its raining, well go to the video store We even like the same movies No damn jedis or hobbits, this time! And you laugh at my jokes And I laugh at your jokes And I even like the birthday presents you get me And we dance in the living room Dance on the sidewalks Dance in the movies Dance at the festivals Lets dance, dance No men ever really dance like this Why dont I fall? Why dont I just fall in love with you? |

I check my bed for bugs and spiders
(though I don't really believe they're there) I check my head, it's getting tighter I want to stop, but I don't dare I will not sleep until I've counted to 200 three times I will not sleep until my pencils lie in a straight line Goodnight, goodbye It's late, and I'm too tired to cry Goodnight, goodbye Just let me close my weary eyes I pray to God twice in the evenings And check the stove four times each day I spin around the door to make sure that it's locked And wear these lucky socks until they fade away The house might burn down And it's all my fault if that puddle doesn't get me wet If I get home before the rain, you're mine But I won't bet One day, I'll be stepping On cracks and close my eyes But I'm too tired to argue with myself I'll just do this one more time |

Finally, the sky is blue
Last night, my friends dragged me to some lake We drove there real late, we went too fast Sipping cheap sangria in the backseat Everybody are laughing and we are listening to our favorite songs But I thought you said summer is going to take the pain away January brought a headache In February, it got even worse And when you thought it couldn't get more awful Say hello to March April brought me to a funeral Gained another ten pounds in May But I thought you said summer is going to take the pain away Have you ever had the feeling no one really knows what you're all about And when you try to show them They all have things to do tonight Tonight Up on a roof, looking over the city All by myself thinking: There is nowhere I would rather be than here, so why am I not Like the others, and why are you not here with me doing crossword puzzles Saying: it's going to be okay Summer's going to take the pain away When I'm gone, I promise It's going to be okay Summer is going to take the pain away |

And suddenly, I don't feel fat anymore
I don't count my blackheads as a hobby I don't count the marks on the wall And I don't sleep well at all There is someone else right beside me He kept every secret I told He giggled his way straight through fall And I don't sleep well at all He knows when I'm happy and nods when I'm sad And he puts out when I come home drunk And suddenly I stand real tall But I don't sleep well at all I have seen too many movies I have read too many books I'm the kind that sees sun and brings an umbrella I have been to fortune tellers And I know love will leave you all crooked And I know he'll start sleeping around Or start listening to symphony rock Or throw out the key and change the lock But I don't sleep well at all |

Hello
Do you remember me I am your long lost pen pal It must have been ten years ago we last wrote I don't really know what happened I guess life came in the way Let me know if you're still alive Let me know if you ever used that knife or not Hello Yes I remember you I've got a husband and two children now I work as an accountant and make fairly good money I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them And you would comfort me When my tears would stain the ink And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters Tried to make life better than it was I still wasn't kissed at sixteen And I still need a friend There was this letter I never told you this back then But it would be fair to say it saved my life I sat in the window The only one left out from a party again Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend Then I checked the mailbox Dear long lost penpal I was lying the whole time I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke I have three children And a wife, she doesn't care And I hope you don't resent me And I hope you do not hate me For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters Tried to make life better than it was I still wasn't kissed at sixteen And I still need a friend |

Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu
So I could take care of you Like you take care of me I'm such a Florence, a real Florence Nightingale I'll fluff your pillows, I'll buy you a Spiderman comic and read you 'til you fall asleep Sleep on my shoulder! I won't wake you even if My back turns crooked and I have to walk with a limp for a week I'll make you soup and none of that kind that you get in a jar cause I Know you don't like those Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu You're the cutest thing I've ever seen 챰 like a teddy bear on heroin Come, I'll tuck you in tight and I'll sing for you all night All night You can hold the remote, I won't try to steal it And the best cushion is yours and you can have your feet on me, Even though I'm scared of feet and even though I had a hard day at work Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu You can lay your weight on me and I'll be your backbone Lay your weight on me You won't have to worry |

What would you say if I asked of you
- out of loneliness, out of loneliness What would you say if I asked of you - out of loneliness, out of loneliness Could I be with you Can I be with you It's warm inside the night club Your face is lit up by a disco light I don't want to go home alone, not tonight I have a picture of a man who used to sit in that chair I will go anywhere Just as long as I'm with someone You will do, just take me home for tea If I told you my stories and sang you my songs Would you laugh at me Would you pity me What would you say if I asked of you Not out of accident, out of loneliness Would you shelter me Will you shelter me I will be gone when you wake up No awkward breakfasts, I swear And don't you look for me, because I could be anywhere In someone else's house In someone else's arms With someone else to warm the pain away What can I ask of you What would you want from me What would you say if I just fell asleep |
