I'm too uncouth, unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe

If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera's here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh


[Verse 1:]
Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design?
Did you do something new?
Well your name ain't on the guest list
Who brung you? You
The more famous person, you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
You come too
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for God to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And too gum shoe
Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung blue
Go back what ever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on me two tonnes too

[normal Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement
Past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
And out through China
Nearly misses air liners
Magnified times five
This is pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say
Cuz even with all of that
Most of us don't want it to fade
We want it to braid
Meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to stay
Like the governor called
And they told him to wait
Un-strap him from the chair
And put him back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they paid
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

(chorus)

If you are what you say you are
a superstar
then have no fear
the crowd is here
and the lights are on and they want a show
oh oh oh oh yeah

[Verse 3:]
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting along
And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown
M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every song's a favorite song
And mics don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

[normal chorus)
If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera's is here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh yeah
If you are what you say you are
Then have no fear

Until we're there crank the radio, We'll join in with the songs we know

Windows down as the night blows in
Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin
Until we're there crank the radio
We'll join in with the songs we know

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Smiles light up as we walk in
Old conversations begin again
Nostalgia's thick as the August air
It takes us back to a time when we didn't care, we didn't care

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Oh, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Everything's right...

X's on the back of your hands // Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands

Black dress with the tights underneath,
I got the breath of the last cigarette on my teeth,
And shes an actress (actress),
But she ain't got no need.
Shes got money from her parents in a trust fund back east.
T-t-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks,
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girls teeth,
T-tell your boyfriend if he says hes got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him.

She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
'Cause a hoe won't trust me.

X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands.
And your setlist (setlist),
You stole off the stage,
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page.
B-b-b-bruises cover your arms,
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm.
And the best is (best is),
No one knows who you are,
Just another girl alone at the bar.

She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
'Cause a hoe won't trust me.

Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.

Woah, woah, woah...

She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
'Cause a hoe won't trust me

How long can I string you along? How little of myself can I give and still make you believe I care?

At the risk of sounding rude
Just who the fuck do you think you are
To tell me what you expect of me today?

Well, you can take your attitude
You're out of luck, you've gone way too far
If you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay

How long can I string you along?
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

At the risk of sounding trite
Why the fuck do you think you're right
About every little thing that you say?

And do you think that it is right
For Tom to spend another night
Writing songs about all the people he thinks are gay?

How long can I string you along?
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

How long can I string you along
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

Spent half my life on castles made of sand / Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand

"Renaissance"

This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you
This is my second chance
This is my one romance
This is the cutting line
On which I stand to show you

It happened fast in a flash just this evening
I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
My brothers in the back jaw cracked from the beating
The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
I hear you sing softly to me

[chorus]
I can be the wall when you fall down
Find me on the rocks when you break down
I heard it in the song when you call out
But I got to say now it's got to change

This is my broken heart
This is my bleeding start
This is the way I've come to know you
This is my winding road
This is my way back home
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through

I got a letter today of why she went away
She said 'it's better this way, you knew I never could stay'
Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
Three years I've built this two face tower for hours on a lease
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
IN pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
Spent half my life on castles made of sand
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
Now I can finally stand

[chorus]

This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you

i will beg my way into your garden, i will break my way out when it rains

No i'm not the man i used to be lately
see you met me at an interesting time
if my past is any sign of your future
you should be warned before i let you inside

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

i will beg my way into your garden
i will break my way out when it rains
just to get back to the place where i started
so i can watch you back all over again

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love me or the thought of me? me or the thought of me?

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever gets you through through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you

But believe me when I tell you / That what went down was a one time deal

When you slid into the room
Everything else just disappeared
Taj Mahal sang "My Corrina"
So loud and so sincere
You were so, so sincere

Believe me when I tell you
That what went down was a one time deal
Over and over the things that we said
My Sweet Charade

I don't know what your situation is
I don't know if you have a guy
But I'm making up for younger days
And if I don't talk I just get shy
You were wearing baby blue, a charm school graduate
I was anything but charming, but you still got into it
There was nothing I could do

My desiring eyes, my pathetic resolve
The way I work through my lies, the way that my world revolves
Your black bra, I could see the lace
I could see the invitation written on your face

But believe me when I tell you
That what went down was a one time deal
Over and over the things that we did
My Sweet Charade

Maybe it's love, how would I know?
Every time I get close to it, I let it go
You could be different, you could be kind
But I'll never know cause I will leave you behind

It's something to cry to when you're wrong / 'Cause baby I'm gone

Step off my porch
Shuffle right through those leaves
Well I can't say for sure
But you've given me back that ring
And you always said
You liked the sad one's best
I know it ain't much
But it's the best I can do

It's just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when I'm gone
Just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when you're wrong
'Cause baby I'm gone

Well you spin the dial
But there's nothing that you wanna hear
Well we talked for miles
But we've driven down all those years

And you always said you liked the sad ones best
I know it ain't much
But it's the best I can do

It's just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when I'm gone
Just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when you're wrong
'Cause baby I'm gone

Underneath the
Maybe I'm wrong
Don't look back these days
(Hey)

And you always said you liked the sad ones best
I know it ain't much
But it's the best I can do

It's just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when I'm gone
Just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when you're wrong
Just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when I'm gone
Just something to cry to
It's something to cry to when you're wrong
'Cause baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone
'Cause baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone

'Cause oh lord one more broken promise to the search of a new band / but the feeling seems so mutual it's the fabric of our lives

"Travelin"

Tell me I didn't miss anything
Travelin' around in your head
You know my legs are tired
Of runnin' the maze you've planned

[Chorus]
So, just lie to me baby
Tell me maybe
All the while
You never made me smile

So, just lie to me baby
My mind is hazy
Now you're gone
I'm havin' so much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah....

You tell me that you're bothered
With the lies that you've been fed
'Cause oh lord one more broken promise
To the search of a new band
But the feeling seems so mutual
Its the fabric of our lives
Timing so unusual
It makes us wanna fight
Take your games elsewhere honey
I'm not feeling right
Maybe you'd be better off if you just try
Just try, just try...

[Chorus]

I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water / To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter

"Can't Break Her Fall"

She says today is gonna be the last one
I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
She's rolling round the town with a fast gun
And I know I can't be there to catch her when she falls

Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either halfway drowned or half way 'round the pier
When you're that far gone

I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door
I've been searching for the words I don't know how to say
I've been searching for the words to make it go away
I spent all of last night and the night before that
With my feet in the sand and the wind on my back
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see

[chorus]
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're eighter half way drowned or half way round the pier
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more
Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far gone
Not that far gone

I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
To the cover of the night with diamonds in the air
I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter
To the rhythm of the sea with the breeze in the autumn
As it blows through the trees my hands into the water

[chorus]

I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
And I can't take it, I can't take anymore

She says today is gonna be the last time
And I know there's never gonna be an easy way out

started as a flicker meant to be a flame, skin is getting thicker but it burns the same

There'll be girls across the nation that will eat this up, babe
I know that it's your soul, but could you bottle it up
And get down to the heart of it, no it's my heart, you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again, my love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

I am aiming to be somebody that somebody trusts with her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start to make room for the parts
That aren't you, it gets harder to bloom in a garden of love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

BRIDGE:
Only thing I ever could need
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it's

CHORUS:
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love
Love
Love
Love

We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us, oh
But sensible sells, so could you kindly shut up and get started
At keeping your part of the bargain, aw please little darlin'
You're killing me sweetly with love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Started as a flicker, meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker, but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle, got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall
You meant to make me happy, make me sad
Want to make it better, better so bad
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here

Love, you're all I ever could need
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love
Love
Love
Love

Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love

right now face to face all my fears pushed aside

She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I dont know why
But shes changed my mind

Chorus:
Would you look at her
She looks at me
Shes got me thinking about her constantly
But she dont know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if shes figured out
Im crazy for this girl

She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didnt end
Why didnt I know what I know now

Chorus

Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
Im ready to spend the rest of my life
With you

And won't you kiss me on that midnight street

This Year's Love:

This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last

And all I can do / Is sit and let the air speak for you / cause when words meet / heartbeats / baby you'll know

Well I go house to house and knock on every door,
I take down all the walls and stairs of every floor,
Just to figure out, oh what we're fighting for
And all I can do,
Is sit and let the air speak for you

Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby C'mon
You know it's not even fair
And I'm first round, knocked down (baby) the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets are, and the moon is full
Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby you'll know

We're the saddest now
There's nothing more to gain
And it isn't right if I can't run away...
Because it kills the moon
When there's nothing left to say
And all I can do,
Is sit and let the air speak for you...

Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby C'mon
You know it's not even fair
And I'm first round, knocked down (baby) the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets are, and the moon is full
Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby you'll know

I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to sing
And I'm not too tired, not too tired to know what you're doing (with me)

Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby C'mon
You know it's not even fair
And I'm first round, knocked down (baby) the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets are, and the moon is full
Cause when words meet heartbeats
Oh when words meet heartbeats
Oh when words meet heartbeats
Baby you'll know

If only I had the guts to feel this way / If only you'd look at me and want to stay

Yeah
Cause I need you
Yeah
Cause I need you

Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I am ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging in the back of my head
I see it over and over

I wanna hold you and love you
In my arms and then
I wanna need you
Cause I need to be with you till the end
Then I hear myself reply "You've got to hold it in" this time tonight

If only I had the guts to feel this way
If only you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I could take you in my arms and say
I won't go cause I need you
Cause I need you

Yeah

I sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right
Cause all I think about is your hands, your face and all these lonely nights
There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head
Saying it over and over

I wanna hold you and love you
In my arms and then
I wanna need you
Cause I need to be with you till the end
Then I hear myself reply "She'll never let you in" this time tonight

If only I had the guts to feel this way
If only you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I could take you in my arms and say
I won't go cause I need you,
please don`t go cause I need you now

I wanna hear you say it'll always be this way
And we'll be hand in hand for everynight and everyday
I wanna scream and shout cause I'm losing any doubt
And all I care about is you and me and us and now

Uh yeah, yeah

yeah, If only I had the guts to feel this way
If only you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I could take you in my arms and say
I won't go cause I need you,
Please don't go cause I need you now

Yeah cause I need you

If only, yeah oh yeah cause I need you now
If only cause I need you, I need you
If only, cause I need you
If only cause I need you
If only, yeah, if only...I need you now....yeah

Bury me in armor when I'm dead and hit the ground / a love back home unfolds

Violet Hill Lyrics

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze
Down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?

so go ahead and ask her for happy ever after

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
‘Cause nobody knows what’s coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
‘Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm your trembling hand with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we’re swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

I’ve got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs wiith a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We’re gonna need another straw!
We’re gonna need another straw!

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

now come on everybody, lets make cocaine cool

Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

[Lupe Fiasco]
As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies
Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
Room enough for one I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sittin on the shoulders but that's way too high
Let's try not to step on the children
The news cameras filmin
This walkin project buildin
Now there's hoes sellin hoes like right around the toes
And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
And there's a car chase goin on at the waist
Keep a vest on my chest
I'm sittin in my room as I'm lookin out the face
Somethin to write about
I still got some damage from fightin the whitehouse, just a

Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

[Lupe Fiasco]
Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool
We need a few more half naked women up in the pool
And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels
And can you please put your titties closer to the 22s?
And where's the champagne? We need champagne
Now look as hard as you can with this blunt in your hand
And now hold up your chain slow motion through the flames
Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain
But not too loud 'cause the baby's sleepin
I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin
Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin
Me and my robot tip-toe 'round creepin
I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I couldn't see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib
But I'd like to thank the streets that drove me crazy
And all the televisions out there that raised me, I was

Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

if love and peace is so strong, why are there pieces of love that don't belong

"Where Is The Love?"

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing wit me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)

I believe if you seek the truth, You don't need to look far cuz it's gonna find you

its times like these that make me say
lord if you see me please come my way
leavin bread crumbs for when i stray
rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
feel me like a fingertip
sometimes i fall i slip
my heartfelt desire be more like you
trying not to quench your fire by the things that i do

on an island by my lonesome stranded
low key and stayin’ candid
reflect on all the things i try my hand at
search for the equations to persuasions im used to
finding comfort in the zones of closet bones i get loose to
a mountainous fontaine
spinnin and monsoonin’
grinnin’ its high octane
explosive how i came
rollin down hills cause lifes a hastle
encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
stay afloat catch a second wind
thin is the air i breathe
teary eyed nose runnin’
wipe the snot on my sleeve
im callin’ on my savior
to be all that i need
please forgive me
my behavior had me lost at light speed

the fear of never falling in love
and the tears after losing the feelings
of what you thought love was
like the dirt still up under the rug
bad characteristics
covered in christs blood
the joy of new birth
and the pain of growing up
the bliss between giving my all
and giving up
the highs and lows
paths and roads i chose
in the cold i froze
trying to ease my woes
in this world of sin
clothes to thin to fend
so to God i send
words of help to win
in grumblings so deep
letters could never express
so the sound of ooh aah
beneath my breath projects

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My life be like ooh aah ooh
Come young diti
Here comes that boy from the capital city
Last up on the Grits new diti
But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
I beleive there's a bride thats stunning
And, I believe in the kingdom coming
I believe if you seek the truth,
You don't need to look far cuz it's gonna find you

But When Friends, Business Interests As They Go

Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh
It's Not A Diss Song, It's Just A Real Song
Feel Me?

I Heard Motherfuckers Saying They Made Hov
Made Hov Say, "ok So, Make Another Hov"
Niggaz Wasn't Playing They Day Role
So We Parted Ways Like Ben And J-lo
I Shoulda Been Did It But I Been In A Daze Though
I Put Friends Over Business End Of The Day Though
But When Friends, Business Interests As They Go
Ain't Nothing Left To Say Though
I Guess We Forgot What We Came Fo'
Shoulda Stayed In Food And Beverage
Too Much Flossing
Too Much Sam Rothstein
I Ain't A Bitch But I Gotta Divorce Them
Hov Have To Get The Shallow Shit Up Off Him
And I Ain't Even Want To Be Famous
Niggaz Is Brainless To Unnecessarily Go Through These Changes
And I Ain't Even Know How It Came To This
Except That Fame Is
The Worst Drug Known To Man
It's Stronger Than, Heroin
When You Could Look In The Mirror Like, "there I Am"
And Still Not See, What You've Become
I Know I'm Guilty Of It Too But, Not Like Them
You Lost One

[chorus W/ Marsha (jay-z)]
Lose One, Let Go To Get One
Left One, Lose Some To Win Some (you Lost One)
Sorry I'm A Champion, Sorry I'm A Champion
You Lost One

I Don't Think It's Meant To Be, Be
But She Loves Her Work More Than She Does Me
And Honestly, At Twenty-three
I Would Probably Love My Work More Than I Did She
So B, Ain't We
It's Me, And Her
'cause What She Prefers Over Me, Is Work
And That's, Where We, Differ
So I Have To Give Her
Free, Time, Even If It Hurts
So Breathe, Mami, It's Deserved
You've Been Put On This Earth To Be
All You Can Be, Like The Reserves
And Me? My Time In The Army, It's Served
So I Have To Allow She, Her, Time To Serve
The Time's Now For Her
In Time She'll Mature
And Maybe We, Can Be, We, Again Like We Were
Finally, My Time's Too Short To Share
And To Ask Her Now, It Ain't Fair
So Yeah, She Lost One

Lose One, Let Go To Get One
Left One, Lose Some To Win Some (oh Yeah, She Lost One)
Sorry I'm A Champion, Sorry I'm A Champion
You Lost One

I Never Died In The Car I Bought
So I'm Under The Belief It's Partly My Fault
Close My Eyes And Squeeze, Try To Block That Thought
Place Any Burden On Me, But Please, Not That Lord
Time Don't Go Back, It Go Forward
Can't Run From The Pain, Go Towards It
Some Things Can't Be Explained, What Caused It?
Such A Beautiful Soul, So Pure, Shit
Gonna See You Again, I'm Sure Of It
Til That Time, Little Man I'm Nauseous
Your Girlfriend's Pregnant, The Lord's Gift
Almost Lost My Faith, That Restored It
It's Like Having Your Life Restarted
Can't Wait For Your Child's Life, To Be A Part Of It
So Now I'm Child-like, Waiting For A Gift
To Return, When I Lost You, I Lost It

Lose One, Let Go To Get One
Left One, Lose Some To Win Some (colleek, I Lost One)
Sorry I'm A Champion, Colleek, You're A Champion
You Lost One

others lie, lie, lie, they adore you

And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you will get your way
You closed the door and shuffled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And drag your feet
Where the words can't find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes
But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything, they know where you are
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again
Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes
All you want to see is make believe
But way down underneath
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes

Well, pick me up with golden hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run

I may see you, I may tell you to run
Nobody safe, nobody on.

little pieces of the nothing that fall

Slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give ya anythin'
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own?
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Mmm mmm slide

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married, or run away?

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married, or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete (yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete (yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

(Oh Oh Oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheet of all the beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away...

cynical and beautiful, you always make a scene

Dizzy

You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome, delerious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drownin in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

I wanna kill at the machine
That made you piss away you dreams
Tear down your defenses
Till there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your Dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are

who do you think she's trying to impress

She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the scent
Just let them guess; it's what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
She's discovered wearing last night's dress
The carnal and cunning she couldn't express
Who do you think she's trying to impress

Chorus:
I think you'd better hold your tongue
Although you've never been that strong
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along
You're no match for that sulky girl

She left her European town
Before she let the family down
She couldn't stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair, adopted another name
With the evidence of passing out
Stamped on her hand; she glows in the dark
He thinks she's from another planet

So,
-chorus-

Sulky girl
I'm sure you look a picture when you cry
Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify
It's like money in the bank
Your expression is blank
And when a chance appears
You'll be nearer to tears
Sulky girl (x2)

He said "Hello my pretty flower"
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
She said "Your're mistaken
Your money's no good in here"
Just some stupid little know-it-all
You thought she looked easy
He's not that astute
You'll pay for the distance
Between cruelty and beauty

-chorus-

I won't tell you again
What do you gain by blackening her name
She's smarter than you
Oh isn't it a shame
You're going to lose that sulky girl

Sulky girl
I saw you practicing your blackmail faces
Suddenly you're talking like a dutchess
But you're still a waitress
I saw through your pretense
But in my defence
There are a few events
I think will spell the sentence
Sulky girl (x4)

take all your big plans, and break 'em

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder(I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland


Da da dup ba da da da

they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

"One Headlight"

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

[Chorus:]
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

[chorus]

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me

[chorus]

so im trying hard not to fight it light this fire and stand right beside it if i go down at least ill go in flames

Lyrics


Oh this is one small step I know
But it's the last time I'll ever see you're face
I'll go out on a limb and we'll hope it won't break
It's just five words

So I'm figuring out just what I need to say
I'm writing it down and I'm getting it straight
It's a double edge sword. It's a very first date.
It can go both ways.

What I had was tried and true
But all I want is you

So I'm trying hard not to fight it
Light this fire and stand right beside it
If I go down at least I'll go in flames
I'll sing it out at the top of my lungs
The choir is small but it sings a big song
And If I go down at least you know my name.

Oh this is one big step I know
It might not mean much but I can't do much better
I never thought it'd be so hard
To say “Hello.”

I caught a glimps and I never looked back
I'll throw out the rope and we'll cut out the slack
I'm keeping things tight and keeping things on track
It's just five words

What I had was tried and true
But all I want is you

So I'm trying hard not to fight it
Light this fire and stand right beside it
If I go down at least I'll go in flames
I'll sing it out at the top of my lungs
The choir is small but it sings a big song
And If I go down at least you know my name.

The choir is small but it sings a big song...

still a little bit of your song in my ear, still a little bit of your words i long to hear

"Cannonball"

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

just wait and see, you can count on me, count on me

"Dreams"

I can't stay with you now
'Cause I am so ashamed
Didn't mean to let you down
And tears run down my face

Are you still in love with me?
I need to know right now
'Cause I'm still in love with you

I wanna be in your dreams, in your dreams
Just wait and see, you can
Count on me, count on me
I know just what you're after
My heart keeps beating faster
I wanna see you in my dreams

I am trying to change
But something's in the way
I take all of the blame
And hate the things I say

Do you still feel the same?
I need to know right now
'Cause I know it's hard to change

I wanna be in your dreams, in your dreams
Just wait and see, you can
Count on me, count on me
I know just what you're after
My heart keeps beating faster
I wanna see you in my dreams

Lay your head on my shoulder
And I won't let you go, yeah, yeah
I'm not falling under 'cause I know
That it's hard to find, yeah, yeah
When I'm down, I reach for the sky
And sometimes I wanna cry, yeah, yeah

Are you still in love with me?
I need to know right now
'Cause I'm still in love with you

I wanna be in your dreams, in your dreams
Just wait and see, you can
Count on me, count on me
I know just what you're after
My heart keeps beating faster
I wanna see you in my dreams

Lay your head on my shoulder
And I won't let you go, yeah, yeah

knock me down till we see eye to eye

"Right Now"

She clings to me like cellophane
Fake plastic submarine
Slowly driving me insane
But now that's over

So what if the sex was great
Just a temporary escape
Another thing I grew to hate
But now that's over

Why you always kick me when I'm high
Knock me down till we see eye to eye
Figured her out I know she
May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now

I used to hang on every word
Each lie was more absurd
Kept me so insecure
But now that's over

She taught me how to trust
And to believe in us
And then she taught me how to cuss ... that bitch!
It's over

all the people on the island want to show why they sing

"Island Of The Honest Man"

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina - took me straight to China safe and sound
Donated my map to the lost and found

While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind
This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find

But right then the clouds parted in the sky
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
Watch the sky
And as the howling winds subsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound.

Stole my temper back from the lost and found
No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown
Jump off now - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here

From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing
Why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us

Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Wait here - stay here

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around

my mirror, my sword and shield missionaries in a foreign field

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

you'll be out of the dark, yea you'll get your shot

Son's Gonna Rise lyrics

Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
Headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor
Of the board
Of this car
On the road
Got this woman in the back seat
Yeah she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me
To this day I don't know why
She picked me up
When i was down on the road
With the wind when it blowed

Well a son's gonna rise in a mile
In a mile
In a mile
You'll be feeling fine
In a mile you will see
After me
You'll be out of the dark, yeah
You'll get your shot

been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key and i'm dying to get out

"Be My Escape"

I’ve given up on giving up slowly, I’m blending in so
You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You

and now the stars never shine, and the roads are all tired, i want you to be here

Be Here

Well she wants in
And she wants to get out
And the city it calls her name
And the scars that she hides
With those stars in her eyes
Like the echoes they’re all the same

Because it’s all been done before
Yes it’s all been done before

And you can let this one
But when the sun doesn’t show
And I want you to be here
And oh now the stars never shine
And the streets are all tired
I want you to be here

Well she sick of this town
And the rain that falls down
But her pride just won’t let her see
That when she swears that she’s made
With a heart that won’t break
She’s dead but she still believes

That it’s all been done before
Yes it’s all been done before

And you can let this one go
But now the sun never shows
And I want you to be here
And now the stars never shine
And the streets are all tired
I want you to be here

They can tell you that they want you to
Stay for what you’ve done
They can tell you that it’s alright to
Be what you’ve become
When you go
You know
It’s for sure

You can let this one go
You can try on your own
But I want you to be here
Now the stars never shine
And the streets are all tired
I want you to be here
Well I tried to be quiet
But my heart is on fire
And I want you to be here

I want you to be here

this most assuredly counts, she says most assuredly

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh

It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

You are so beautiful to me (repeat)

this is gonna bring me clarity, this'll take the heart right out of me

Lyrics to She Is :
Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own
To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land

This is gonna to break me clean in two
This is gonna to bring me close to you

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
Your side and mine are both behind it's indication

This is gonna bring me clarity
This'll take the heart right out of me

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

This is gonna bring me to my knees
I just wanna hold you close to me

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

She is everything I needed
She is everything

lost and insecure, you found me, you found me

Lyrics to You Found Me :
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, Where you been?
He said, Ask anything.

Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

Why’d you have to wait
To find me, to find me?

a bullet and a target, and it won't be long before you pull yourself away

Bullet And A Target lyrics

Mr.Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomarrow
Amputees in Freetown
Sierra Leone's
The church wasnt honest
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
Teacher said no college
Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas
People wanna bomb us
More people gotta scatter and run rom us
You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

I've been knowing her for years
I've been seeing her foor years she got dark, dark wavy hair
With a voice like she just don't care
She got a skirt with a halter top
She's got a dad who nevr gave enough
She drink a beer with a proper shot
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was acting insane
Has a .45 that he always cleaned
Said one day one day one too many days
Now she ducked and she ran away
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
I check the cover of a magazine
I'm just wondering how, just wondering how

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

you make me feel like i belong under the sun

If There's Love lyrics

Where you been hidin'?
I'm believing
You give me life
Life my dear
You give me strength to beat the odds
And overcome my fears
You make me feel like I belong under the sun
You never grow old
Because you're forever young

[chorus:]
If there's love...
I just want to have somethin' to do with it
I just wanna feel yours
[repeat chorus]

When I'm alone you make me feel at home
If I give enough of you
To a higher place we'll go
You make me feel like I belong under the sun
You'll never grow old
Because you're forever young
And you know that you got my tomorrow baby
Today and yesterday
Believe that you've got my tomorrow baby
I'll hold you close as far as I can see

[chorus]

oh it's taken so long i could be wrong, i could be ready

In Repair lyrics

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new look upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

if the tears fall down like rain let her sing if it eases all her pain let her go let her walk right out on me if the sun comes up tomorrow let her be

Let Her Cry
She sits alone by a lamppost Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind. She says dad's the one I love the most But Stipe's not far behind. She never lets me in Only tells me where she's been When she's had too much to drink I say that I don't care I just run my hands through her dark hair Then I pray to God you gotta Help me fly away And just let her cry If the tears fall down like rain Let her sing If it eases all her pain Let her go Let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be Let her be This morning I woke up alone Found a note standing by the phone Saying baby, maybe I'll be back someday I wanted to look for you You walked in I didn't know just what I should do So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself Saying let her cry If the tears fall down like rain Let her sing If it eases all her pain Let her go Let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be Let her be Let her cry If the tears fall down like rain Let her sing If it eases all her pain Let her go Let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be Oh... Last night I tried to leave Cried so much I could not believe She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago She went in the back to get high I sat down on my couch and cried yellin' Oh momma, please help me Won't you hold my hand and... Let her cry If the tears fall down like rain Let her sing If it eases all her pain Let her go Let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be Let her cry If the tears fall down like rain Let her sing If it eases all her pain Let her go Let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be Oh, let her be.

she inhertied a million bucks and when you died it came to me, i can't help it if i'm lucky

Only Wanna Be With You
You and me, we come from different worlds You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why I'm such a baby cause the Dolphins make me cry But there's nothing I can do I've been looking for a girl like you You look at me, you got nothing left to say I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way I won't dance, you won't sing I just wanna love you but you wanna wear my ring But there's nothing I can do I only wanna be with you You can call me your fool I only wanna be with you Put on a little Dylan Sittin' on a fence I said, "That line is great," you asked me what it meant by "Said I shot a man named Gray Took his wife to Italy She inherited a million bucks, when she died it came to me" I can't help it if i'm lucky" I only wanna be with you Ain't Bobby so cool I only wanna be with you Yeah I'm tangled up in blue I only wanna be with you You can call your fool Only wanna be with you Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why I'm such a baby and the Dolphins make me cry There's nothing I can do I only wanna be with you You can call me your fool I only wanna be with you Yeah I'm tangled up in blue I only wanna be with you Only wanna be with you Only wanna be with you Only wanna be with you.

there's been times, i'm so confused, all my roads they lead to you

"All For You"

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe 'cause I'm trying

There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, And I can't do
Enough to prove,
It's all for you

I thought I'd seen it all
'Cause it's been a long, long time
But then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Rain comes pouring down
Falling from blue skies
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus-Chorus]

It's hard to say
It's hard to say
It's all for you

its a secret no one tells, one day its heaven one day its hell

You've found hope
You've found faith,
Found how fast she could take it away.
Found true love,
Lost your heart.
Now you don't know who you are.

She made it easy,
Made it free,
Made you hurt til you couldn't see.
Sometimes it stops,
Sometimes it flows,
But baby that is how love goes.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.

It's a secret no one tells;
One day it's heaven, one day it's hell.
It's no fairy tale;
Take it from me,
That's the way it's supposed to be.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.

You laugh, you cry, no one knows why
Behold the thrill of it all...
You're on the ride
You might as well
Open your eyes

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
Even angels fall
Even angels fall

was anything enough to kiss the ground, did i sail throuhg or drop my anchor down

Clarity lyrics

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on
Well all I got's

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to

Was there a second of time that I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down
Was anything enough to kiss the ground?
And say I'm here now and she's here now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't
Because it won't
And I will waste no time
Worried 'bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our lives together

i'm just the typical

Come on, can’t I dream for one day
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

‘Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical

I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical, uh huh

I'm the typical
I'm the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical

Because it’s dragging me down
I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around

I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
The typical, the typical, uh huh

Of the typical
Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical, of the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

take all of your so-called problems, better put em in quotations

"Say"

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]

stay true when my world is false, breaking down the chaos

Complication's my claim to fame
And I can’t believe there’s another
Constantly just another
I can’t avoid what I can’t control
And I’m losing ground
Still I can’t stand down
And I know, yeah I know, yeah

I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down my chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down my chaos

It’s hard to trust anyone again
After all the let downs I’ve been through
Haunted by what I’ve been through
Air still trapped while I still can't breathe
And I’m screaming out
Give me hope somehow
And I know, yeah I know, yeah

I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down my chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down my chaos

I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down my chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down my chaos

Chaos, chaos
I know you stay true, yeah
I know you stay, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know you stay true, everything around's breaking down
I know you stay true, everything around's breaking down

I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down my chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down my chaos

I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down my chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down my chaos

i think we're going somewhere we're on to something good here

"Pressing On"

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars

(Verse 1)
She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying
Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)
She's saying
(Chorus)
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
we belong
So would you be my baby
Ooh-ooh
(Verse 2)
She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour-blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying
Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream) just saying
(CHORUS x2)
Mamma never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)
She's saying

still i won't turn now from a fight you know i'll never win

Just an old friend coming over
Now to visit you and
That�s what I�ve become
I let myself in
Though I know I�m not supposed to but
I never know when I�m done

And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor around your body glistens in the shower
And I wanna stay right here
And go down on you for an hour
Or stay and let the day just fade away
In a wild dedication
Take the moment of hope
And let it run

Never look back
At all the damage we have done now
To each other
To each other
To each other

But when I see you
It�s like I�m staring down the sun
And I�m blinded
There�s nothing left to do
And still I see you

I never believe that things that they happen for a reason
And they never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned
But you�re past where you understand

Now her appetite is blown
Little else is known
�cept she�s a little angry
Grabs a towel, looks away
The heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say
Oh something clean, let me be clever
Hey oh well, whatever
But that�s not what I mean
Where we�re been has left us burnt still
I wont turn now from a fight
You know I�ll never win

Cos when I see you
You know all the things I�ve done
And I am blinded
Like I�m staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
It�s like I�m staring down the sun
Yeah!

(hey! I�m blinded!)

Time it passes and it tells us what we�re left with
We become the things we do
Me, I�m a fool spent from defiance, yeah you got me but
I didn�t give up on you
But the rest is not a t-shirt or a swan song, no
Heat is born again and
It�s not easy being me
When I can�t promise I will mend
Or bend when you believe
That we are fixed now from our birth
And I�ve just fallen back to earth
Still you know I�ll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden
We have stolen manners in the days when we were one

So when I see you
In spite of all that we�ve become
I�m still blinded
But I�m still staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

Oh yeah
I�m still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
I�m still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
Well I�m still staring down the sun
I�m blinded

When I see you

when you mean it ill believe it, if you text it ill delete it

I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared

It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
Until you hear, my dear

The 7 things I hate about you!
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy

Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology

When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking 7 steps here

The 7 things I hate about you!
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy

Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention the 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you!
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy

Your hands in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like most that you do
You make me love you, you do

pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few

"Delicate Few"

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

It's crazy how we all need this time a little more every way.
It's wild how we stay up nights losing part of the day.
The one time that you're loathing is there for you oh so well.
So pick up that precious someone relax for a delicate spell.

Rising up early the sun barely before me I could have sworn I just went to bed.
I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.
I grab my coat, my hat, my jacks...I put my hat on my head and I was off again as she said,

Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed about an hour ago.
Blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair,
I grab my coat again, hat on my head, lit my jack and I was off again she said,

Rising up early that sun rose barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed.
I've got to, but it was so cold, I've got trouble keeping hold of my lady sleeping next to me.
But I swear today, I'm gonna go off in a delicate way and I'll have so much fun I swear.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll be moving on,
I promise you, jack in my mouth, hat on my head, and I was off again she said,

Relax for a delicate few.
Just me and you.
I swear to you true, I do.
Relax for a delicate few.

there's a chill in the air, nobody could care how you're caught up in the fight of your life

"Heard The World"

I just heard the world, is breaking down into bits again.
Tell me what am i to do?
And you just want me to stay, here.
So i'm just gonna stay, here.

Home, the last resort.
Build a castle with an iron door.
Lock the window, pull the shades, the hazed out sun won't help anyway.

If the world is crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone.
NO, locked up in this place.

I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.

Fear, is holding me here.
The television got me seeing unclear.
Bravery, my neighbor, moved away.
Cause I don't need to be courageous today.
If the world was crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone.
NO, locked up in this place.

I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.

I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.

Nothing's gonna save me.
I'm hanging from the nearest tree.
Nothing's gonna save me.
