Miss My Friend
03:43
|
|||
|
Started back many years ago
You met her while she was walking down your road
You must have needed some kind of high
Like a roller coaster she took you for a ride
And we waved goodbye
I miss my, I miss my, I miss my friend
I miss him, I miss my, I miss my friend
She took ya down that long and winding path
With all those twists and turns
Through her looking glass
She let you think you could play her game
Now that she’s gone, you’ll never be the same again
I miss my, I miss my, I miss my friend
I miss him, I miss my, I miss my friend
You called it love, we called it poison
I miss my, I miss my, I miss my friend
I miss him, I miss my, I miss my friend
You called it love, It was poison
I miss my, I miss my, I miss my friend
I miss him, I miss my, I miss my friend

Favorite Shirt

I don't know if you know what I'm thinking
Babe it's been about you
I guess I'll go on keeping a secret
I can't take my eyes off of you
you walk into the room and I start tremblin' baby
I wonder if you know my name
I still remember the first time I served you coffee
You never told me if that stained
your favorite shirt
You were wearing your favorite shirt
I don't know why I've been dreaming
So much about you
I guess if I come clean you might start freakin' out
What am I gonna do
when you walk into the room I start tremblin' baby
Do you know that I know your name
if I called it out in this crowd that we stand in
Would it change everything
I want to wear your favorite shirt
It would look so good on me
your favorite shirt
I don't care about the stain from the coffee
I want to wear your favorite shirt
I drop the check and say goodbye
I wonder if I should just speak up
serving you coffee once a week
Ain't ever gonna be enough
'cause when you walk out of that door
I start trippin' baby
don't know if I'll see you again
And this might be the last chance I have to tell you
but it's so hard to fill you in
I want to wear you favorite shirt
it would look so good on me
Your favorite shirt
would hang down below my knees
And if I wore your favorite shirt
then you'd be lying next to me
And I would be your favorite girl

Think About You
05:02
|
|||
|
drank too much again last night
waitin' til the morning light to sober me up
so I don't call you up
like a clock I stand the test of time
but it's hard to hold its hands in mine
when I'm thinking of you, what am I gonna do
I didn't answer the phone when you called today
you left your message anyway
you were thinking of me, wondering if I think of you
ohh-oh and if I do, what do I
think about you, think about you, think about you
do I dream about you or dream without you or
drink us out of love, love
asked my girlfriend out for lunch
she asked me if I missed you much
she was thinking about, leaving her man
he says she don't do nothing right
they always end up in that fight
he makes her feel so small
he don't know her at all
she asked me what I thought about
these things she couldn't figure out
she was thinking of me, wondering if I think of you
oh-oh and when I do...what do I
think about you, think about you, think about you
do I dream about you or dream without you or
dream about new love, love
she asked me if her love would abide
the answer was the question in her eyes
yes I'm glad I didn't stay
lovin' shouldn't hurt that way
and I cry at night
but love it will not constitute
finally finding out the truth
and the lies, all his lies
and yes I think about him now
and at times it's hard to figure out why I do
but I do, oh-I
think about him, think about him, think about him
and I dream about him and I dream without him
and I drink us out of love and I
think about him, think about him, think about him
and I dream about him and I dream without him
and I dream about new love, love-oh-oh-oh
that's when I think about you

Away From Here
02:13
|
|||
|
so here we are, stuck in the middle
and here I am, not knowing where I've been
there you go, off on your own again and
here I landed, I can't stand it,
it's so lonely without you
I want to see things that are in my dreams
and I want to live in these places that I read about
these books I read, are all I know about
the world is so cold when you have
no one to call your home and I wish you were home
I - I - I want to fall in love tonight
take flight away from here oh-oh
will you go with me
away from here oh-oh tonight
'Cause I - I - I want to fall in love tonight
take flight away from here oh-oh
will you go with me
away from here oh-oh tonight, tonight, tonight

Rain
05:17
|

|
I gotta say goodbye to things in my life
I'm a sullen girl, a sullen girl
and I spin around so fast,
just trying to keep up
I'm a fallen girl,
a fallen girl
and the city lights
look so damn nice
from so far away
now that I'm here
the glows disappeared
in all the rain
and I've fallen down
I got here just in time
to show up way too late
I'm a busy girl,
a real busy girl
well I guess just not enough
for their high-paced world
makes me a slow down girl
you better slow down girl
but their sequenced eyes
sure look so damn nice
on the stage
and I want that life
more than I can say
and I've fallen down
I'm broken now
I'm on my knees in a crowd
but I still sing
Lay it on the line
gonna show you who I am
I'm a gutsy girl
a real gutsy girl
and I'll shove it in your face
until you know my name
make me a famous girl
gonna get what I'm looking for
and the city lights'll still look
so damn nice from so far away
but now that I'm here
I've drowned and that's clear
in all the rain
and I've fallen down
I'm broken now
so far down sure a hell
damned to drown in this rain

Sometimes
04:34
|

It's funny how a melody can make you cry
That's not why I sing for you tonight
It's funny how a song can soothe your soul
pick you up when you are broken and make you whole
You know it's funny sometimes
how the world can open up and change your eyes
I still try all the time and I learn to sacrifice
I love - I sing
to be everything I've wanted to be
It's funny how a church can make you feel so weak
Getcha thinking about the things you've done
until you're losing sleep
Tell me how a priest could make me feel so small
How a man of God can make me wonder if I am worthy at all
You know it's funny sometimes
Nothings how it's meant to be
I still try all the time
Pray to God from both my knees
I love - I cry
I wait for him to save my life
It's funny how love occurs without sound
Getcha flying up so high
It'll crash you to the ground
Tell me how one man could make me feel so whole
Can walk into the room I am in
I feel completely alone
Ya know it's funny sometimes
nothing's how I thought'd be
I am standing right here
waiting for you to notice me
I love - I try
to be everything that you wanted tonight
and for the rest of your life
It's funny how a song is what saved my soul
Picked me up when I was broken

Sidelines
04:04

I've been waiting from the sidelines
For quite sometime
as if you played the game for me
and now I wonder how your feeling
as you fight your demons and
I wonder what you see
you won't shine from in that cloud
and it's been there so long
that you can't see out but
I'm on the sidelines
just waiting for you
from the sidelines
like you asked me to
now you say that battles over
but you need a shoulder
say you need my helping hand
things have changed from when we started
your different hearted
we both see a different man
and I don't shine from where he stands
and it was nice to have me here
but on the other hand
I've been on the sidelines
just waiting for you
from the sidelines
like you asked me to wait
from this side of the game line
everyone's in that box
from your side of the same line
everybody talks about
the sidelines where everyone's in wait
from these sidelines
we anticipate the change
I’ve been on the sidelines
just waiting for you
from the sidelines
like you asked me to wait
I'm done walking round in these circles
cause it hurts me - to see you now
while you wrestled with your anger
we became strangers
and I scream out loud
that we won't shine until you shine
and it was really nice to have me here
but by and by
I've been on the sidelines
just waiting for you
from the sidelines
like you asked me to
and from these sidelines
I stand in wait for you
and after all this time/ you just expect me to wait
from the outside, looking in
you've tried and tried
now try again from the sidelines
