Come Get Me
03:36
|

I'm up hours past my bedtime
But I couldn't think of sleeping
Feeling weak from what you're sayin
Tomorrow I'll think I was dreaming
So please don't let this moment pass
We may not get this chance again
After all that we've confessed
After all that we've been through
Please don't make me second guess
Baring everything to you
Let's not have any more regrets
Of all the things we didn't do
No time to pause, no time to think, don't even blink
Come get me
So many years have come and gone
So many seconds that we've wasted
Think I belong there in your arms
I feel so certain I can taste it
So let's not let this moment pass
We may not get this chance again
After all that we've confessed
After all that we've been through
Please don't make me second guess
Baring everything to you
Let's not have any more regrets
About the things we didn't do
No time to pause, no time to think, don't even blink
Come get me
Come get me
I'm not leaving you any room for doubt
I just want you to come and take me now
So please don't let this moment pass
We may not get this chance again
After all that we've confessed
After all that we've been through
Please don't make me second guess
Baring everything to you
Let's not have any more regrets
Of all the things we didn't do...
After all that we've confessed
After all that we've been through
Please don't make me second guess
Baring everything to you
Let's not have any more regrets
About the things we didn't do
No time to pause, no time to think, don't even blink
No time to pause, no time to think, don't even blink
Come get me

Last Time I Checked
03:27
|
|||
Last time I checked
You weren't my daddy
You didn't own me
You barely know me
Last time I checked
This was a free world and I wasn't anybody's girl
I used to think that we were friends
But you had to go and change to rules that you can't win
You think I'm your property
You want me right where you can see
But, baby doll, you better think again
'Cause last time i checked
You weren't my daddy
You didn't own me
You barely know me
Last time I checked
This was a free world and I wasn't anybody's girl
You try to woo me with your car
Well it can take me places but it will not get you far
'Cause I can take the train and I don't mind walking in the rain
But more than that I know just who you are
And last time I checked
You weren't my daddy
You didn't own me
You barely know me
Last time I checked
This was a free world and I wasn't anybody's girl
So stop calling please
I’m not trying to be a tease
Or trying to be mean
But you're hard to bear
Don't know what you're going through
Or what you're trying to prove
But to tell the truth I just don't care
Last time I checked
You weren't my daddy
You didn't own me
You barely know me
Last time I checked
This was a free world and I wasn't anybody’s
Last time I checked
I didn't owe you nothin'
But you keep comin'
Like I owe you something
Last time I checked
This was a free world and I wasn't anybody's
I wasn't anybody's
I wasn't anybody's
I wasn't anybody's
I wasn't anybody's girl

I Met a Man
04:20
|
|||
I met a man when I used to live down South
He’d seen things I’d only heard rumors about
India in a monsoon
Voodoo ‘neath an Orleans moon
I met a man when I used to live down South
He told me of the other lives he’d led
The other worlds where he had laid his head
Dublin, Paris, Bern and Rome
Had all at one point been his home
He told me of the other lives he’d led
He could steal away without a trace
I’m not sure I even really knew his name
A true man of mystery and heartbreaking swashbucklery
He could steal away without a trace
When he returned from many years away
He never changed his face it showed no age
He said he’d learned from gypsies and dined with kings
And all matter of peculiar things
When he returned from many years away
A wayward nomad from New York to Baghdad
I met a man when I used to live down South

You Think
03:44
|
|||
I don’t know what you’re hiding from but it shouldn’t be from me
You’ll never be a real boy if you can’t say honestly
How you feel
You’re just not real
You think you’re not good enough
You think you’re better than everyone
Not good enough’s got to be tough
When you think you’re better than everyone
The way you see the world
Makes me your enemy
You’ve got so many reasons
Why I fail to be
What you need
I wish you could see
You think you’re not good enough
You think you’re better than everyone
Not good enough’s got to be tough
When you think you’re better than everyone
You try to keep me by bringing my down, down
But when you wake up I won’t be around, around
Never exhaling must make it hard to breathe
Always being savvy must be so exhausting
And lonely
You think you’re not good enough
You think you’re better than everyone
Not good enough’s got to be tough
When you think you’re better than everyone
You think you’re not good enough
You think you’re better than everyone
Not good enough’s got to be tough
When you think you’re better than everyone

(this is not a) Sad Song
04:32
|
|||
I refuse
To write a sad song about you
I can live without you
Go ask your friends
Thought you knew
It’s not what I do now
You and I are through now
No need to make amends
This is not a sad song
About how you done me wrong
About how you have been stringing me along
This is not a sad song
I refuse
To tell you loved you
I’m so far above you
Go ahead look up
I’m amused
You thought you could affect me
You don’t even get me
Despite how it seems
This is not a sad song
About how you done me wrong
About how you have been stringing me along
This is not a sad song
Don’t even apologize
I was not hypnotized
By the fairy tales you fed
Your words did not get to me
Your eyes did not see through me
Don’t believe anything I’ve said
I refuse to write a sad song about you
I can live without you
This is not a sad song
About how you done me wrong
About how you have been stringing me along
This is not a sad song
About how you done me wrong
About how you were just using me all along
This is not a sad song

Picture Show
04:28
|

They always ride into the sunset
He always gets there just in time
He always dips her oh so deeply
He always has the perfect line
There always is suspense and intrigue
The bad guy's always tryin' to win
The situation's always bleakest
When the cavalry comes marching in
At the picture show in the end
The star-crossed lovers always win
I should've learned this long ago
Life ain't like no picture show
She always looks so fantastic
She's always has a secret power
She's always just a little tragic
But she come through in the final hour
At the picture show in the end
The star-crossed lovers always win
I should have learned this long ago
Life ain't like no picture show
Life ain't like no picture show
They're always doomed to be divided
A true love always unrequited
But he never quits until he has her
Then it's always happy ever after
At the picture show in the end
The star-crossed lovers always win
I should have learned this long ago
Life ain't like no picture show in the end
Where the star-crossed lovers always win
I should have learned this long ago
Life ain't like no picture show
Life ain't like no picture show

On the Run
03:17
|
|||
There’s a hole where the rabbits go
It’s safe and cozy, secret too
I wouldn’t mind having a place to hide
A place to get away from you
‘Cause everywhere I see your face
There is not one single place
In this town you’ve not disgraced
And I wish I could erase
All the dirty things you’ve done
All the nasty wars you’ve won
I’d like to get you on the run
I met a girl – a cute and funny girl
She seemed to me like quite a catch
But surprise surprise, you’d also compromised her
You are such an evil wretch
And everywhere I turn, I see a bridge you’ve burned
I see a wasted year a lesson you’ve not learned
Maybe you could go on down that rabbit hole
And give us all the peace we’ve earned
‘Cause everywhere I see your face
There is not one single place
In this town you’ve not disgraced
And I wish I could erase
All the dirty things you’ve done
All the nasty wars you’ve won
I’d like to get you on the run
I’m gathering townsfolk
They’re getting pitchforks
We’re lighting fires and setting a course
To get to your house
To settle the score
I hope for your sake you’ve got a back door
‘Cause everywhere I see your face
There is not one single place
In this town you’ve not disgraced
And I wish I could erase
All the dirty things you’ve done
All the nasty wars you’ve won
I’d like to get you on the run
I’m gonna get you on the run

Curse
04:04
|
|||
For every step I take forward
You take two steps back
For every bit more I give of myself
The more you hold back
I'd heard of your kind but never met you before
The kind that's here in the room with me but with one foot out the door
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For how I've obtained this curse
Nothing is up to your standards
Nothing can make your bell ring
And while you search for perfection
I guess you forgot about me
Yeah I'd sit for hours waiting for you to notice me there
But unless I was naked you had nothing special to share
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation
For why I think I can save you
Do I think that I'll win?
And what good would it do
If I made you give in
You'd just drag me through darkness
'Til I can't see an end
And I know you're a liar
An emotional thief
'Cause oh yeah you miss me
Then vanish mysteriously
And I disobey my nature to punish and rage and scream
Thinking calm words will tempt you but you're far to deep out of reach
So why did I fall?
What did you do?
To make me wanna stay
And break through to you
Did I blaspheme the heavens
Or offend Mother Earth
Oh there must be some explanation

I’ve been looking for you everywhere
I couldn’t find you under the bed or behind the chair
I was beginning to think you weren’t coming
I was beginning to think I would be
All alone in this big mess forever
Together was not a state I’d likely see
I’ve been looking for you all over the place
I looked down in the basement
And in that little crawl space
Could you tell me where you have been hiding
Just in case I must find you again
Even though I’m gonna keep my eyes on you
I want to
Know you won’t blow away with the wind
I’ve been looking for you
Where have you been?
I wasn’t sleeping for wondering
And it was wearing me thin
I kinda hope that you’re planning on staying
I kinda think you must be tired too
Being lost in a crowd takes its toll
And it’s cold
With no person to sidle up to
I’ve been looking for you everywhere
I couldn’t find you under the bed or behind the chair
Then then all of a sudden you were standing right over there
After I’d been looking for you everywhere
After I’d been looking for you everywhere
After I’d been looking for you everywhere

What Were You Thinking?
02:45
|

What were you thinking
Had you been drinking
The day that you went to the polls
This man is crazy
That verdict ain't hazy
It's a fact you elected a troll
How could you do this to a land we all claim should be free
You say you're a good person but just saying that don't mean a thing
My thoughts are consumed by
The bull in the room
I spend every night tossing about
How can you not be scared
Are you that unaware
Or just frighteningly and dangerously proud?
How could you do this the man is liar and a thief
You say there was no choice but comparing them defies belief
How could you so this to your children, your neighbors, your friends
You say that you love them but your actions don’t point to that end
What were you thinking
Had you been drinking
The day that you voted for hate
Can you admit now
He's working for Moscow
He's a coward, and corrupt, and not great

Bored

I suppose I could go sky diving
But who’s flying the plane?
I suppose I could go train robbing
But it’s a big job and I’m not inclined to prison again
I am bored bored bored bored bored
Bored bored bored bored bored
I suppose that I could dance all night
But come daylight I’ll have gotten no sleep
I suppose that I could find a new man
But he’d be sweet and then where would I be?
I’d be bored bored bored bored bored
Bored bored bored bored bored
Try to amuse me, I dare ya
You’ll just infuse me with
A little more of I don’t care
I suppose I could drive cross country
But whose money would I take
I suppose I could get an addiction
But that affliction is so passé
It’s bored bored bored bored bored
Bored bored bored bored bored
Try to amuse me, I dare ya
You’ll just infuse me with
A little more of I don’t care
I am bored bored bored bored bored
Bored bored bored bored bored
Bored bored bored bored bored
I am bored bored bored bored bored
