And Around (Listen to it here)
You said adjust your heels girl
They stick out like an anchor
Don't touch the flowers
Cuz you can't hear them well
Couldn't last forever
Lord ya know it's gonna end sometime
This is not an order
You don't have to be here
Can you understand me
Screamin like the wind blows
Did I blow your mind
Leave you breathless
I guess I've changed ya couldn't you
Given all we've been through
Heaven knows I've been around and around
Eighty six the candles
I'm scared of the bright lights
Girl, try not to touch me
So you don't feel me
Or you can touch my shoulder
Put your lips to my ears
And scream is there anyone home
Won't you answer me
I guess I've changed ya couldn't you
Given all we've been through well
Heaven knows I've been around and around
I guess I've strained well how bout that
Here's my life, here's a doorstep
Heaven knows I've been around and around
I guess it's been a good year
For roses and aggressions
For flowers and freeways
I guess I'll put a smile on
Or get a new girlfriend
Ya put a new hat on
This is not an order
You don't have to answer
Only need to listen
If only for a moment
Did I blow your mind girl
Did I leave you breathless I said
Cuz I've been around and around
Cuz I've been around and around
Cuz I've been around and around
I've been around and around
Like Me
She's leaning on the mailbox
In someone else's driveway
And she laughs to herself cause she knows
That she's still here
She won't wait forever
God knows that she wants to
And you know that if it comes down
It's gonna be war
This ain't how we're supposed to be
And nothing changes between you and me, at all
Ain't it just like a loser
Ain't it just like this chip on my sleeve
Ain't it like me
It's raining down in Longwood
She heard it on the radio
And she laughs to herself cause she knows
That she's not there
Well some say I'm crazy
Some say I take this shit too hard,
But you know and I know it's gonna be war
She ain't how she's supposed to be
Nothing changes between her and me, at all
Ain't it just like a loser
Ain't it just like this chip on my sleeve
Ain't it like me
I know the distance between us is greater and stronger
Stronger than I plan to be
Ain't it like me
Like Roses
Please don't make me answer you
The world is big but my circles are small
And please don't try to shut me out
I'm in love that's all
I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear
And please don't laugh I just can't help,
Grinning when I'm giving it all
And please don't show you're face around my place
I've seen it all before
And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain,
I believe that life goes on like a hurricane
And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane
Anymore
And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough
And in the end there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud,
Like a rough little
Soldier,
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses,
Comes through like roses
Looking down I see my cigarette is even,
With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket,
Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven,
You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong
Or I was sorry,
I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round
And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down
Quarter time,
It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes,
And you can feel every second of the cold heartache
Coming down
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud,
Like a rough little
Soldier,
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses,
Comes through like roses
To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud,
Like a rough little
Soldier,
There's a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses,
Comes through like roses
The Only One (Listen to it here)
I don't know what
we're fighting about
When everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one
A chance to be
forgiven
A chance to be forsaken
Did I ever by chance cross your mind?
I only wanted a chance to see you shine
I only wanted a chance to see you shine
I don't have no
worries
No and I don't need no answers
There's just enough to make it day by day
There's just enough to make you fade away
I don't know what we're fighting about
Everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one
I only wanted to be the only one
I don't need forgiveness
I can't be forsaken
I'm only here to take back what is mine
I cant believe the dullness of your shine
Just enough has
been taken away
To make me believe in it all and I pray
And I've only been on at the start to begin
Just enough that there seems to be no end
I only wanted to touch your face again
I only wanted to see your face again
I don't know what
we're fighting about
Everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to see the only one
I only wanted to be the only one
