i was thinking just the other day
i was wondering why you went away
i got to thinking all about you
how you always seem to get to do just what you want to
i was thinking if i can keep believing and
i can just keep breathing then i might fight back the tears
and i was wondering what this was all about and
how it'll work out in the end
i was drinking out just the other night
'til everything got fuzzy but it still seamed quite all right
and you were there and then you kissed me on the cheek
that reminded me oh, just how week i am
i was thinking if i can keep believing and
i can just keep breathing then i might fight back the tears
and i was wondering what this was all about and
how it'll work out in the end
i'm a million miles away from you right now
there's a thousand things i'd like to say to you
but you don't understand if i explain a hundred times
so i'm not going to tell you, tell you that
i was thinking if i can keep believing and
i can just keep breathing then i might fight back the tears
and i was wondering what this was all about and
how it'll work out in the end

madness, everywhere you go there's madness
people stop and stare and they look at us
there's way to much
sadness, all the lonely people, so much sadness
they're crying in dispair always holding on
to what's gone wrong
we don't always see that it's how we look
at the day and hand and not what it took
to get there, 'cause no one cares about
your heartache and
all that it took to make your heart break
let me tell you friend
you're not the only one
to sing that song
i fight my demons
every single day is within reason
'cause i've learned my lesson from the way
that we don't always see that it's how we look
at the day at hand and not what it took to get there
life's not fair – yeah

I've Changed
06:28
|

|
there's a fine line between letting go and falling apart
I'm standing beneath the world, waiting for it to fall
I can't tide the waves, I can't buy my way,
you don't know me now, 'cause I've changed
I've changed
I reach for your hand now and I pray to the moon
that God comes to save me as I wait in this empty room
there's no life ring to save me, I'm drowning in an ocean of awe
and the world is waiting to see if I'm anything at all worth saving
I'm worth saving, I'm worth saving
I wave goodbye to all the things I used to know
I'm standing in the sun, barely breathing at all
'cause I've changed, and I've changed
I've changed

Ooh La La

falling out of the sky
i'm dreaming about a guy
that I have yet to meet
hope he's sweet
he'll knock me off my feet
his kiss will be like ooh la la
ooh la, la la la la, ooh la la la
he's dreaming about a girl
who's yet to step into his world
but when i do he will know
we won't have to move too slow
'cuz our love will be like ooh la la
ooh la, la la la la, ooh la la la
we won't have to be so lonely
'cuz i'll hold him and he will hold me
on those bad days...we can just sing
ooh la, la la la la, ooh la la la

Ricki

don't want to be anybody's concubine
don't want to trapped here by this space and time
don't want to be rescued
I sure as hell don't want to drown
life is like a window and
you know I've been looking through it
never thought to ask myself
what would happen if I climbed through it
to the world outside
there's a world outside
I'm tired of being stuck on the inside
ricki was an ugly girl
she walked home from school everyday
she never stopped to ask herself
if things might go her way
then one day a lightbulb flashed
right before her very eyes
she said I don't got to to live like that
and I ain't got to compromise
to the world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside
well ricki was a brave young girl
she packed that very day
she dropped out of school
she went on her own way
she climbed out her window
she never looked back
to her mama's broken heart
or her daddy's love shack
there's a world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside
so I've told myself
time and time again
babe–ya know, I don't want to live like this
so where should I begin
maybe I'll climb out my window tonight
and I'll meet up with ricki
and she'll show me the lights of the inner city
and the world outside
there's a world outside
and I'm tired of being stuck on the inside

Seems Like

seems like I'm all dried up
yet the rain just won't stop
seems like I'm all dried up
I'm drowning in this dried up spot
and I can't seem to find the reason
can't seem to find my way yeah-ey-yeah
to just stand up and dust off this
stand up and walk away
yeah-eh-yeah-yeah-yeah
well it's dark, down in my soul
it's been rainin' here for days
well it's dark, deep down, down in my soul
I wish someone would light up this deep dark hole 'cause I
can't seem to find the reason
can't seem to find my way yeah-eh-yeah
to just stand up and dust off this
stand up an walk away
yeah-eh-yeah-yeah-yeah
I could cry all night long
I ain't depressed I just like singin' sad, sad songs
I could die every day, well I
ain't suicidal so I must like feeling this way and I
can't seem to find a reason
can't seem to find my way yeah-eh-yeah
to just stand up and dust off this
stand up and walk away
yeah-eh-yeah-yeah-yeah
