I had to walk away, Down the road just to clear my head. On another fun filled day, Of doin' fine, but you're back instead.
Now I'm no the only one, Who saw you for just what you were. You pushed me, and I'd keep tryin'. I'd leave you, but you'd start cryin'. But you won't fool me, I'm smarter than that, yeah.
Chorus You were the one. Who taught me what I don't need. And I thank you- I thank you for that. You were the one, Who brought me to my senses. And I thank you- Now just leave me alone. (Yeah, just leave me alone.)
I had to drive away, Far away 'til you could not find me. And it was a beautiful day, Liberated and you're far behind me.
What you did I'll never mention, no, no, no. Where you were, I don't want to know. I don't want to know, yeah. But you won't fool me, I'm smarter than that, yeah.
Thank You I had to walk away, Down the road just to clear my head. On another fun filled day, Was doin' fine, but you're back instead. Well I'm not the only one, Who saw you for just what you were. You'd push me, but I'd keep tryin'. I'd leave you, but you'd start cryin'!.
But you won't fool me I'm smarter than that!!
Chorus You were the one... Who taught me what I don't need And I thank you-I thank you for that You were the one... That brought me to my senses And I thank you- Now just leave me alone
I had to drive away, Far away 'til you could not find me And It was a beautiful day Liberated and you're far behind me
What you did I'll never mention Where you were, I don't want to know I don't want to know
Champagne High I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you And I never thought it would hurt just to hear "I do" and "I do" And I do a number on myself And all that I thought to be And you'll be the one That just left me undone By my own, hesitation
Pre-chorus and for the million hours that we were well I'll smile and remember it all then I'll turn and go while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.
Chorus Well I'm on a champagne high Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie On a champagne high, high
Spring turned to summer But then winter turned to mean The distance seemed right At the time it was best - to leave And to leave behind What I once thought was fine And so real - to me And while I'm still gone On the quest for my song I'm at your - celebration
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Your wagons been hitched to a star Well now he'll be your thing that's new Yeah what little I have you can borrow 'Cause I'm old and I'm blue...
Pre-chorus
Well I'm on a champagne high (so high) Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high (so high) Toast to the future but that'd be a lie On a champagne high Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high... high... So high so high you left me undone so high, so high you left me undone....
Well I'll follow you wherever When you lead me by my nose On another big adventure- I suppose Then you lay me down in clover With their petals on my back I should make some time To do more things like that...
*Won't you sing to me your poetry, Won't you take me to your home, Won't you be for me forever So I'll never be alone And just one thing... If you're my queen... Then it's a beautiful thing...
Well I'm buried in my bedroom Under fourteen feet of clothes I could drown in all this clutter I suppose
But then you're standing in my doorway With a suitcase on your back And it blows my mind When you do things like that
*Repeat
Yeah, reminding me Well I might be poor But summers free... For me, I didn't know I was sleeping
Shame On Me It's over and I'm overwhelmed I'm emptied out like a dusty shelf You buried me-and I'm covered in shame I'm here but you look right through me
Pre chorus Just hear me out for what it's worth You still rip my breath away I've come around I know you've heard it before And again and again...
Chorus Shame on me shame on me It's bittersweet but I'm so sorry It took so long but you believed (I'm sorry it took so long) Shame on me꿺hame on me... Because you're every questions answer Shame on me
So clever 뻖ut I tripped somehow I never guessed you could knock me down I am just a bit undone Displaced and burned like fire
Pre chorus/ chorus
I didn't get it I never wanted to My self destructive attitude said What did you want And why would you want it at all? But you never went away
You faded out but it took so long It's tainted How could I let this slip away from me For a wondering jones I'm here but you look right through me...
Your Winter The grey ceiling on the earth Well it's lasted for a while Take my thoughts for what they're worth I've been acting like a child In your opinion, and what is that? It's just a different point of view
What else can I do? I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry , but for? If I hurt you then I hate myself Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only know how much I love you, love you
Chorus I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here
The old picture on the shelf Well it's been there for a while A frozen image of ourselves We are acting like a child Innocent and in a trance A dance that lasted for a while
You read my eyes just like your diary, oh remember, please remember Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more If I hurt you, then I hate myself, don't wanna hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only knew how much I love you
I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here
Strange Cup of Tea Sometimes I wake with a weary head and I wonder how I'll ever get through Then I think of the things you said how you told me to my self be true My faith in things unseen, My belief that it'll all work out May seem like a strange cup of tea, but if its all right with you than it all Right with me
Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run In my arms I'll hold another day With my head I think, from my heart I sing And with my hand to my face I pray
There's times I feel with the stains of life I could just turn around, turn around walk away Then a strength like a beam from above lifts me up by the hand and it leads me to say Good things for good people you see good things they seem to all work out May seem like a strange cup of tea but if its all right with you well then its all right with me
Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run In my arms I'll hold another day With my head I think, from my heart I sing And with my hand to my face I pray
Getting by ain't enough for me I know what I like I like what I see I'm not only flesh and blood but I'm heart and soul I know
Sometimes I feel at the end of the day was it worth while or have I settled for less I sit back and your there by my side sincerely you say, we're both so blessed Count your blessing count them one, two, three don't give up cause it'll all work out It may seem like a strange cup of tea but if it's all right with you, it's just fine with me
Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run In my arms I'll hoild another day With my head I think, from my heart I sing And with my hand to my face I pray
Save Me Save me ?have mercy Turn me upside down I know it sounds a little bit lazy But I lost myself in a mystery Save me- some aggravation And tell me your wisest tale Take me away...
Chorus Won't you save me Please hurry please Won't you tell me what's worthy now Won't you save me I thought for myself Can't you forgive me for that
Turn round- where ya goin Slow down-my hopes on you I've paid my dues a thousand times over 멌ause I was not born ready made Teach me- teach me everything And leave no turn unstoned Yeah that's ok
Chorus
Now we've been on this walk before And I can't take it lightly anymore Well again I said It's just there's so much wasted time Quit wasting time.
Hold on ?wait a minute Take note-this one's on me They never put up a monument For a cynic or a statue of a hypocrite Turn it up-turn it over Tune in and change your mind Go your own way
Give In It's wrong-not right so bad you know it. I've been wrung in and out. You say-you want-you need-it your way. You kick and scream and shout.
Pre Chorus You twist my words To ease your mind Don't stand there smiling, at me Don't think it's me When it's always you, it's always you
Chorus Give in-give out-give up-it's over. Why even bother if I'm always wrong. Give in-give out-give up-it's over. So much for trying it's time to move on.
You try-to back-me in-a corner. So sick of playin' your game. Too much-too hard-to take-You're giving. So much that I don't need.
Pre Chorus You twist my words To ease your mind Don't stand there smiling, at me Don't think it's me When it's always you, it's always you
Chorus
Bridge Your mind-my heart-our words-they drain me. I've heard the same old lines I'm tired-worn out-so weak-don't push me. Don't try it one more time.
Out There Chorus If she's out there somewhere-somewhere I would give everything to know. Just to hold and to finally have her, Take me to sunrise from indigo
If it's to be That there's just no one for me I'll try not to cry much So no one will see But if it's to be That there is anyone for me Our hearts will shine So everyone will see I've got some time, So maybe if you're free I could use a friend Just to talk to me
Chorus
Spent most of my life without Anyone near Never cared what happened I never saw clear But I'm getting older now And I'm, thinking of my end And to leave without love Or without a friend I've got some time So maybe if you are free I could use a friend Before I die
Chorus
It's not over yet... I'm still standing
If it's to be That there's just no one for me I will try not to cry much So no one else will see I've got some time So maybe if you're free I could use a friend Just to talk to me
Elvis I'll go away I'll go on my wordless way Don't say anything Say nothing, just leave me.
I've been merely, an actor In your painful play. But I feel too much to stay. Just cast me out.
Pre chorus You can have the dishes You can have the jacked up car. And take the book on meditation I'll just take home what I brought,
Chorus My, big painted velvet Elvis...
Well take it away Take it all away Don't leave anything Leave nothing, except me
'cause I've been sadly misinformed I thought it mattered a little more than this I wish I was a thousand miles away...
Pre chorus/ chorus
Well I'm frozen here Caged in silence It's better that I Regret these words Than to stand aside And watch your tragic Storyline unfold... Just let me go
Pre chorus/ chorus
Well you took my heart And you took my soul And you used me, I've had plenty of that. It gets harder and harder And farther and farther From what I need for me.
Fortress It's bitter Tastes a lot like winter And will it- release me
So heavy How much more to bring down the levy And kill me - don't kill me
Chorus
I've been stayin' high... And I've been feelin' sorry For myself And I've been resurrecting my Fortress to protect myself
Shattered Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered Can you-even hear hear me? What do you expect out of me I'm being buried alive and screaming Can't you see - Can't you see me ?
Chorus
Weary My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary Of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
How am I to figure it out All alone I've been kickin' around Without my home - I'm so lost...
A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field Once surrounded by the walls of work By laughter and by love The sound of children playing And the sound of people saying I love you--yeah you
A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field Barely rooted in the browns and greys Of earth that once was green A place long since forgotten In a world of yesterday Except by me--yeah me
And Oh--whose plan was this anyway And I never thought He would want it to be that way
It once was beautiful--Right Here It still is beautiful--In Here You once were beautiful--I hear I hear it can be beautiful Just remember
A twisted little image in your perfect little world Of the chapter where itd all begun About a song already sung Burnt around the edges Nearly faded--nearly gone Even you--yeah you
A shiny building standing in the center of today Where indifferent people go to work Go about their pay Knowing they've forgotten In a most convenient way Yesterday--away (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Pre-chorus) (Chorus-Chorus)
I remember watchin’ All the once upon a times Remember thinkin’ Who’s content and who’s for rent And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! But then he cracks that smile And that don’t look so bad to me.....
Happy--I’m Happy But that ain’t good enough for you Happy--I’m Happy.....
I remember thinkin’ How they thought that we should be Remember feelin’ That might be you but that ain’t me And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! But then he cracks a smile And that don’t look so bad to me..... (Chorus-Chorus)
The suns that rise A young girls sighs A baby cries An old mans eyes (Repeat)
I remember watchin’ All the once upon a times Remember thinkin’ Who’s content and who’s for rent And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! Then he cracks that smile And that don’t look so bad to me..... (Chorus-Chorus)
I took a walk by the sea Nothing else--just for me Yesterday was a long, long time ago There’s a man and he’s sighing It’s all he’s got to keep from crying His shattered dreams. Have been worn down by life
And I wonder now How a man gets so far down Where’s the pride and the glory Where’s the pot of gold
and I....I I look to the children
I took a walk by the sea I’d forgotten what it meant to me Some things we should carry from the past There’s a boy and he’s singin’ And in the wind his words are ringin’ His innocence it is buried in us all
Now I look and see That boy inside of me May have seen a storm or two But the dream is alive
and I....I I look to the children I look to the children
And I look around So many so far down Just search inside yourself But the dreams alive
and I....I I look to the children I look to the children
It’s your world And I was just someone in it I never wanted to be your problem And it’s your life And I just wanted to see you live it Be the one to help you solve ‘em
I wanted--I wanted it to be I wanted--I wanted it to be-yeah yeah
Never claimed to be no savior I never claimed to be no saint I’m just another tool who tried to love you Saw the ones before me Then I saw the one who took my place Took a lot of time just to get on by you.
(Chorus) (Lead) (Chorus-Chorus)
It’s your world And I was just someone in it I never wanted to be your problem.
