A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe 

The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt
Come here a little closer
'Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here) 

You've got me feeling hella good 
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I'm gonna keep on dancing

Your performance deserving a standing ovation
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood come on and give it up

You've got me feeling hella good 
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
You've got me feeling hella good 
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I'm gonna keep on dancing

Ooh yeah yeah
Ooh yeah yeah

You've got me feeling hella good 
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
You've got me feeling hella good 
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I'm gonna keep on dancing

Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing 

Hey baby
 
I’m the kinda girl that hangs with the guys
Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes
Takin' it in, try to be feminine
With my makeup bag watchin' all the sin
 
Misfit, I sit
Lit up, wicked
Everybody else surrounded by the girls
With the tank tops and the flirty ways
 
I’m just sippin' on chamomile
I'm watchin' boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school
 
All the boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby, baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
All the boys get the girls in the back
 
I’m the one they feed upon
Give a bit a star is born
And if you have enough you’ll get the pass
And you can tell your friends how you made it back
 
No matter what they say I’m still the same
Somehow everybody knows my name
And all the girls wanna get with the boys
And the boys really like it
 
All the boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby, baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
All the boys get the girls in the back
 
Check it out, it’s Bounty Killer and No Doubt
 
Jump on the stage makes me goin' crazy
Afterwards myself and one of the gorgeous ladies
There is no need to be actin' shady
C'mon baby, hey, hey baby
 
Jump on the stage makes me goin' crazy
Afterwards myself and one of the gorgeous ladies
There is no need to be actin' shady
C'mon baby, hey, hey baby
 
When you rock your hips you know that it amazes me
Got me off the hook and nuttin' else don´t phase me
Can you be my one and only sunshine baby
If no, maybe, hey baby
 
I’m just sippin' on chamomile
I'm watchin' boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school
 
All the boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby, baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
 
Can you be my one and only sunshine baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls say, girls say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
When you rock your hips you know that it amazes me
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
All the boys get the girls in the back 

Yeah... 

I'm on the second floor with a lock on my door
I'm looking at a picture of your face
The last time I looked you were looking really good
But somehow pictures fade

Then we're on the phone and we're all alone
But that just ain't good enough
I go around the world to see your face
'Cause this just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait
For us to hang out
I'm really missing it
In so many ways
I anticipate us making out

(Here comes another one) 

Sip my morning tea but you're not next to me
Here goes another day
I'm driving in my car 
I wonder how you are
When our favorite music plays

And there are flowers above to my surprise
But that just ain't good enough
And I got the note 
It gave me hope 
But that just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait
For us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out
(Repeat) 

Yeah... 

Ooh oohh
Ooh oohh
Ooh oohh

Soon you'll be here with me (making out...) 
Soon you'll be right here with me

I'm with my friends 'till the night ends
But that just ain't good enough
And honestly you can trust me
But that just ain't good enough

[2x]
So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out

There's times where I want something more
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete
But, you see the colors in me like no one else
And behind your dark glasses you're... 
You're something else

[Chorus]
You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely 

You know some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline
But, lately you've been trying real hard
And giving me your best
And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad 

[Chorus] 

So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Better... better... 

[Lady Saw]
You are my real Prince Charmin'
Like the heat from the fire
You were always burnin'
And each time you're around
My body keeps stalin'
For your touch
Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
There's an underside to you
That so many adore
Aside from your temper
Everything else secure
You're good for me, baby
Oh that, I'm sure
Over and over again
I want more

[Gwen]
You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be

[Chorus]

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lovely
Underneath it all
And you're really lovely 

Peek in, sneak about
peek in, sneak about
your broken hearted detective

hey girl save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire
hey girl, save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire

my back it hurts again
it aches like history
caught nothing all day long
your smiling back at me, but

I feel you must have failed me
once again you've let me down
my confidence below my knees
now I need to find you out

[Chorus] 
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm your broken hearted detective

Hey, hey hey

Hey lover why you gone? 
Hold on I'm almost there
It's too late you've killed the trust
Don't act so unaware

Why are you so destructive? 
Do you realize what you've done? 
you can't bring it back to life now
What are you running from? 

[Chorus]

I don't like the way it feels
I just want you to be real

Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire? 
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire? 
I'm rummaging through your closet
Imagining all the worst thoughts

[Chorus] 2x

Peek in, peek in
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm you're brokenhearted detective 

Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies

Oh, I can't believe that you're still around
Almost forgot how you let me down

Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but I'm comin' round
The scars are still fragile
Don't let me down

[Chorus] 
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it

(Don't let me down) [3x]

Time after time
It's just too much to take
I've waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Don't let me down

(Don't let me down)

[Chorus] 2x

(Don't let me down)

[Chorus] 2x

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't Let Me Down 

C'mon baby get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

The army of words is in me 
Silent the soldier weeps
Lying here back to back
Waiting for you to be react 

Sometimes all I need is a good push 
Roll over and whisper some goodness
Go on baby you be the hero
Now can we go back to zero 

[Chorus]
Go on and get the lighter
We're gonna need some fire
Let's get a little higher
The battlefield is tired
And why all that? 
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

Just come here and cuddle up
I feel a little rough
I missed you in my sleep
Are you still mad at me? 

The moon must have mended my bad mood
Come kiss me the way you're meant to
Last night I was just playing
Let's put it all away and 

[Chorus]

Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

Climb in, love with me
Climb in and love me
Go on now baby you get it

Had quite a heavy night 
So girl look it all up and bright
The most stubborn girl around
You really know how to bring me down
One more famous night to remember
Let's laugh at my silly temper
Now let's spend the morning sweetly
Get over here and complete me

[Chorus]

Go on now baby you get it 

Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side

Me
I'm the one you chose 
Out of all the people 
You wanted me the most
I'm so sorry that I'm falling
Help me up lets keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love

[Chorus] 
Running, running
As fast as we can
I really hope you make it
(Do you think we'll make it?) 
We're running
Keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up

[Chorus] 2x

(The future¡­)

[Chorus]

I tried to think about rainbows 
When it gets bad
You got to think about something 
To keep from going mad
I tried to think about big fat roses
When the ship starts going down
But my head is wicked jealous
Don't want to talk about it right now

[Chorus]
Long distance
Don't talk about ex-girlfriends
Don't talk about you with out me
Don't talk about your past

In my head
It's only in my head
In my head
It's only in my head

There's just something about you
That gets me in a twist
And sometimes I think 
That cupid is just taking a piss
It only takes one word or idea
To send me in real deep
So if you think you're clever
Use the right words when you talk to me

[Chorus]

In my head
It's only in my head
In my head
It's only in my head

I really think I have a problem 
I really can't control myself
Why do I get so suspicious? 
Do you want someone else? 

Cause everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else

Only in my head... 
It's only my head

In my head
It's only in my head
In my head
It's only in my head

[Chorus]

Lets talk about the future
Lets talk about the wedding
Lets talk about Gwen Stefani
Let's talk about how much you like me
And all that

In my head
It's only in my head
In my head
It's only in my head 

I'm closing all the curtains 
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
But who's fooling who 
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way

[Chorus]
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away

I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
Where did my lover go? 
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away

[Chorus]

I'm gonna sleep all trough the day
I'm gonna asleep my life away
I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it'll go away

[Chorus]

I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it will go away

I sign in my name
I guess I have to wait a while
I'm gonna play this game
Call me up if you know how to dial

You always had my number
You need to be my lover
Humiliation
I'm in the waiting room 

[Chorus]
If we both want the love
And I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be coming
All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you
I'm all alone in the waiting room
I'm all alone in the waiting room 

When you buried in solitude
It can get real thick
Desire is your only food
It can get you sick
You know you're so fine
I'm over here standing in this line
Just waiting in the waiting room 

[Chorus]

While I'm in the waiting room
A thousand thoughts I think of you
Whatever you did, it's got me glued
It's icky, it's sticky, ooo

You're the one I'm dreaming of
Why does this feel like wasted time? 
What a price is traveling love? 
You and me trapped between these lights
Ooo, you're so mine

[Chorus]

All I can do is wait for you (I'm just waiting for you) 
All I can do is wait for you (You know you want me) 
All I can do is wait for you (You always had my number) 
All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my lover) 
All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you 

[5x]
Wait for you. Wait for... Why are you making me wait? 
I'm all alone in the waiting room  

Will you call me when it's my turn? 

Our love is rock steady
Rock steady, rock steady
Our love is rock steady

Love is like a punishment
Homegirl here to represent
So innocently you seem to come my way
While Tinkerbell and Cupid play
They sit there and laugh
I sit here and I can't believe my eyes
You found me at last
But wait and see how it'll agonize

A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
Rock steady, rock steady
Our love is so rock steady
Rock steady

Steady now, stop rocking it
It's a delicate environment
Retire the sleeping is a Shanti love
Be careful now don't wake it up
It's never gonna last
It's never gonna make it back alive
So how can we relax
I really hope that we will actually survive

A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe

It's never gonna last
It's never gonna makes it back alive
So how can we relax
I really hope that we will actually survive

A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe

Rock steady
Our love is so rock steady
Rock steady, rock steady  

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

You say you're gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why'd you have to go and pick me?
When you knew that we were different, completely

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend 

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

Your wildness scares me 
So does your freedom
You say you can't stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have to

And I feel so mean, I feel in between
'Cause I'm about to give you away

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake?)
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we spent)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girl, friend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed 

I'm about to give you away for someone else to take
I'm about to give you away for someone else to take

We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And we've been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you I'm going to die
I know I'm going to want you and you know why
It's going to kill me to see you with the next girl
'Cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

But I should have thought of that before we kissed...

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend 
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them 
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I'm hunting you down

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine? 

I always thought I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life 

Oh yes I'm guilty
You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission

And the bags are much too heavy
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selection at your discretion
I know I'm diving into my own destruction

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying

'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I'm on your list with all your other women
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions

'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...you're my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

No I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater

In the morning I wake up
And in the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground

Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around

Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground 

Can you tell I'm faking it? But I want to be myself
A counterfeit disposition
Can't be good for my health
So many different faces 
Depending on the different phases
My personality changes 
I'm a chameleon
There's more than one dimension
I can fool you and attract attention
Camouflage my nature 
Let me demonstrate...

Makeup's all off
Who am I?
Magic's in the make up 
Who am I?

If you bore me then I'm comfortable
If you interest me I'm scared
My attraction paralyzes me
No courage to show my true colors that exist
But I want to be the real thing
But if you catch my eye can't be authentic
The one's I loath are the one's that know me the best

My makeup's all off
Who am I?
The magic's in the make up
Who am I? 

The makeup's all off
Who am I?
If the magic's in the make up 
Then who am I?
Magic's in the makeup
But I want to be real the thing
But the magic's in the makeup
And I want to be the real thing

My makeup's all off
Who am I?

Oh yes I'm guilty
For leasing myself out
Not ready to go up for sale
Can't seem to give it up
Stubborn, so selfish 
I'm showing off the worst in me

The return of Saturn
Assessing my life 
Second guessing...

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking I love you's 
You're forcing me to 

You really deserve love
I want to love you
But I can't seem to find myself
My wilting effort
Our progress report
I'm only sure that I'm not sure

I shudder to be honest
Who's behind it all now?
Who's the author?

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
I'm faking I love you's
You're forcing me to

Re-read, re-write, redo, undo
I'm stuck on this page
I was born two weeks late
Is that why I hesitate?
I'm on the fence
Push me off it
I want to be on your side now
And keep a promise

I'm full of artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
It's all artificial sweetener
My heart's been deceitful
I'm faking I love you's 
You're forcing me to

I can't help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner
But I'm more indecisive than ever
And who believes in forever?

Who will be the one to marry me?

A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to employ matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented

Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me

Back, looking back, looking back at me
I'm not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back into history
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be

Who will be the one to marry me?
Who will be the one to marry me?

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, you're so new

My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
'Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth

Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered and I'm learning about you

New, you're so new
You, you're new

And you're consuming me violently
And your reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac?
'Cause I never had this taste in the past

Oh you're different, you're different from the former
Like a fresh battery, I'm energized by you

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

Why am I so curious?
This territory is dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away

I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I'd take you out simply for my own pleasure
And wear you when the occasions special
Then I'd put you on like a diamond
So I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I'd proudly hold the leash that I'd have you on
So you can't stray and follow me around all day

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now 
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

Compulsion has stained me 
I'm nervously cradling our young love, without known limits love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands I peek in[TK1] to see beauty trapped
Confined it flutters 
Then it leaves behind colorful dust 
To remind me of the special times we've spent
But of course it has to leave my clutch 
But enough's never enough to make a dent 

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now 
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
And in time it will end
And there really isn't hope for the two of us
But right now I give in...

It's too late now
I don't think it can fade
It's too real now 
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the 
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze

I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me

Oh, so up and down
So back and forth 
So insecure
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down 
Pretend

Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up 
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away 
Clear it all out
Just end it

I'm just a normal person
Without those problems 
When did it change?
Admissions so embarrassing
I'm on the verge of tears again

Hold it, hold it all in 
Let it build up
Build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out 
Just end it 

Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move

Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love 
It's so sad

Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

Sort it, sort it out
Just give it back
No thank you
Toss it, toss it away
Eliminate 
Just give up

I can't decide
This tug of war
I'm feeling weak

My divorce from dependence
That's when you found me
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble's what we are

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song 
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Now that I've murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
I want to call you 
But I won't

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song 
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I've been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song 
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song 
We're playing it again and again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But I don't want the love we have to end

My eyes are so rootless
They wander, I follow
I keep staring, I can't stop it 
I know I shouldn't 
But I can't stop it

Such a cute girl
I'm so jealous
I wish I looked exactly like her
What's it like to have that body?
I'm gawking while I wonder

S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring

With my envy I steal glances
Resentful fault finder
This peek-a-boo's become a problem
Predisposed cat fighter

S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can't stop staring

I'm hanging out with me
And you're a vacant chair
A chosen compromise 
This space we rarely share

And if you lived here you'd be home now

So what you givin' up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
Aimless expectations passing by

If you lived here you'd be home now
If you lived here you'd be home now

And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
I need to hold you

Barren wasted heart 
Neglect of normalcy

And if you lived here you'd be home now
Oh if you lived here you'd be home now

And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
It can't be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you...

Supervision is what I need
Some consistence, tangibility
Some casual light days 
Part of the furniture
I want to take you for granted
And see you regular

So what you givin' up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
The separations tired, it's been too long

And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
It can't be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you
I need you...

Come home now

I'm tired from exploring you
I'm sorry you've had some scary days
I'm lucky, they had me on a leash
Exposing, sometimes you frighten me

And it's too bad you're so sad
I wish you could have had what I had

I'm loathing most of your history
Hesitation, but then you siphon me
Your potential, well I'll indulge in that
Violent timing explains the aftermath

And it's too bad you're so sad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it's so sad it's too bad 
Maybe I can make you feel better
Oh maybe I'm supposed to make you feel better

I want to comfort you 

Unlike you I had it easy 
You're dark blue Stained from previous days

And you're so sad 
It's too bad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it's too bad you're so sad 
Maybe I can make you feel better

I'm sorry

Your my concentration,
everything else is a bore.
I've got myself snagged on you,
no self control...
Now all that I wanna do,
sleep in the shadow of you
for the rest of my life. 

Now I can chisel,
chisel and build a bomb.
A pain diposited,
from past scars.
'Cause the memories they can sleep,
and we can live comfortably 
for the rest of our lives–

–Wrong or right!
Shipwrecked into you,
situation is foolish
but I will fight.
Your my big distraction
or biggest companion,
I'm falling fast
like an avalanche.

Indentured servant,
A slave to a slave.
Thank God for my hopeful heart,
and for mutual feelings.
Well look how it's balanced now,
maybe we'll just settle down
for the rest of our lives–

–Wrong or right!
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish,
but I will fight.
Your my big distraction 
or biggest companion,
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche.

Look how it's balanced now,
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives...lives.

Shipwrecked into you,
situation is foolish
But I will fight.
Your my big distraction
or biggest companion,
I'm falling fast
like an avalache.

You think that we connect 
That the chemistry's correct 
Your words walk right through my ears 
Presuming I like what I hear 

And now I'm stuck in the web 
You're spinning 
You've got me for your prey... 

[Chorus]
Sorry I'm not home right now 
I'm walking into spiderwebs 
So leave a message 
And I'll call you back A likely story, 
but leave a message 
And I'll call you back 

You take advantage of what's mine 
You're taking up my time 
Don't have the courage inside me 
To tell you please just let me be 

Communication, telephoine invasion 
I'm planning my escape... 

[Chorus]

And it's all your fault 
I screen my phone calls 
No matter who calls 
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone too deep 
You wake me in my sleep 
My dreams become nightmares 
'Cause you're ringing in my ears

[Chorus]

I'm like a beggar with no luck 
I'm holding signs up 
On your streetcorner stops 
Like most you try not to see me 
You stare straight ahead 
Ignore the responsibility 
Excuse me. . . excuse me Mr. 
I've been waiting in line 
And I'd like to buy some of your time 
I'm very anxious, eager, willing 
What's your billing? 

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr. 
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time 

For most love comes for free 
They don't pay the high cost 
Of mental custody 
I'll pay bail for a guarantee 
Please make space for me 
In the time yet to be 
Excuse me. . . excuse me Mr. 
I've been waiting in line 
And I'd like to buy 
Some of your time 
I've been saving up my life. 
So what's price? 

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr. 
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time 

What should I do 
I'm about to crack 
And there's a force 
That comes over me 
It's almost as if I'm tied to the tracks 
And I'm waiting for him 
To rescue me 
The funny thing is 
He's not going to come 
He's not going to find me 
This is a matter of fact 
The desire you lack 
This is the way I guess it has to be. . . 

A little of your time 
I need a little of your time 
Please, a little of your time 

I'm in line to buy time 
I'm in line to buy time 

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes 
I'm exposed And it's no big surprise 
Don't you think I know 
Exactly where I stand 
This world is forcing me 
To hold your hand 

'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me 
Don't let me out of your sight 
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite 
So don't let me have any rights 
Oh... I've had it up to here! 

The moment that I step outside 
So many reasons 
For me to run and hide 
I can't do the little things 
I hold so dear 
'Cause it's all those little things 
That I fear 

'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be 
'Cause they won't let me drive 
Late at night I'm just a girl, 
Guess I'm some kind of freak 
'Cause they all sit and stare 
With their eyes I'm just a girl, 
Take a good look at me 
Just your typical prototype 
Oh... I've had it up to here! 
Oh... am I making myself clear? 

I'm just a girl 
I'm just a girl in the world... 
That's all that you'll let me be! 

I'm just a girl, living in captivity 
Your rule of thumb 
Makes me worry some 
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? 
What I've succumbed to 
Is making me numb I'm just a girl, my apologies 
What I've become is so burdensome I'm just a girl, lucky me 
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison 

Oh... I've had it up to! 
Oh... I've had it up to! 
Oh... I've had it up to here. 

You had the best 
But you gave her up 
'Cause dependency might interrupt 
Idealistic will so hard to please 
Put your indecisive mind at ease 
You broke the set 
Now there's only singles 
There's no looking back 
This time I mean it 

Are you happy now? 
Well, tell me how? 
Are you happy now? 
Are you happy? 

The uncertainty you had of me 
Brought clouded shady company 
The tenderness habitual 
A seldom-fading ritual 
You killed the pair 
Now only one is breathing 
There's no looking back 
This time I mean it 

Are you happy now? 
Well, tell me how? 
Are you happy now? 
Are you happy? 

Are you happy now? 
How is it now? 
Are you happy now? 
Are you happy? 

No more leaning on your shoulder 
I won't be there, no more bother 
If you feel you just might want me 
That's too bad, I'm not that easy 

The contemplator all those years 
Now you must adhere 
To your new career of liberation 
You've been cast all by yourself 
You're free at last 
You broke the set 
Now there's only singles 
There's no looking back 
This time I mean it 

You're by yourself 
All by yourself 
You got no one else 
You're by yourself 
All by yourself 
All by yourself 

Things can be broken down 
In this world of ours 
You don't have to be a famous person 
Just to make your mark 
A mother can be an inspiration 
To her little son 
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life 
Just with her gentle hum 

So different, yet so the same 
Two sisters only have their parents to blame 
It's rare that two can get along 
But when they do, they're inseparable 
Such a blessing comes to few 

The sky is full of clouds and 
My world's full of people 
All different kinds with different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
Not one's exactly the same 

He and she, two different people 
With two separate lives 
Then you put the two together 
And get a spectacular surprise 
'Cause one can teach the other one 
What she doesn't know 
While still the other fills a place inside 
He never knew had room to grow 

The sky is full of clouds and 
My world's full of people 
All different kinds with different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
Not one's exactly the same 

Once in a while I sit back 
And think about the planet 
Most of the time I trip on it 
To kick back and think about 
How massive it all is 
And how many others are on it 

I often think about the world 
In which I live today, of animals and plants 
And nature's gifts set on display 
But the most amazing thing 
That I've seen in my time 
Are all the different people 
And all their different minds 
And different ways 
It would take a lifetime to explain 
Not one's exactly the same 

So many different people 
So many different kinds 
So many, many, many different people 
So many different.. 
Look at me, I'm a person 
Look at me, I'm my own person 
So many different people 
So many different kinds 
For better or for worse, different people 

Hey you with the wedding dress on 
Made of white chiffon blowing in the wind 
Hey you with the dreams in your head 
You've been so mislead by your heart's pull 

I know you're waiting for your ship to come in 
You anxiously wait for such a long time 

You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You dress up and play the game 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
Your name will never change 

Hey you with your eyes full of hope 
You think you can rope your desire 
Hey you, you naive thing 
Your patience in time will tire 

I know you're waiting for your tide to roll in 
How did you ever get such high hopes? 

You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You dress up and play the game 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
Your name will never change 

You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
In a plastic world of make believe 
You're just like my Ken and Barbie Doll 
You know he's just gonna leave 

Step by step I come closer to reaching the top 
Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off 
Looking down to see about how much higher I am 
Another cool wind comes through, brushes my skin 

The harder I push the tension does grow 
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go 
With some luck I just might keep on climbing 
So better to climb than to face a fall 

So high the climb 
I Can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 
So high the climb 
I Can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 

Pulling myself up by a rope I better my view 
The only thing in sight is what I must do 
As I turned I could see myself falling 
Which in return gave me strength for the climb 

So high the climb 
I Can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 
So high the climb 
I Can't turn back now 
Must keep climbing up to the clouds 

Although many failed 
I must now prevail with no question 
Have no time to stop 
Onward to the top of the mountain 
And I can't turn back now 
It's so very high but I can't turn back now 
If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it 
I'm so very close can't you see 

I'm getting closer. . . 

Looking back...to you 

You've been a juvenile 
With a dolphin smile 
With no elbow room 
With your body in bloom 
You've had your little backyard 
Protected by big walls 
You didn't dare look over 
'Cause you've been too small 

Now you're finally sixteen 
And you feelin' old 
But they won't believe 
That you got a soul 
'Cause you're only sixteen 
And you're feeling real 
But you can't seem to cop a feel 

Why do they have to force us 
Through this metamorphose 
Little butterfly 
No matter how you try 
You'll be segregated 
You're gonna be closed off 
You're callow and you're green 
'Cause you're caught between 

You're only sixteen 
Try to cross the line 
But your little wings are intertwined 
You're only sixteen 
And you're such a tease 
And there's nothing you do 
That can really please 

"These children 
They're not really bad most of them 
They're just products 
Of rotten neighborhoods 
And bad family situations" 

You know you can't forsake it 
So sit back and take it 
You see you're just not ripe 
So don't try and fight 

You're only sixteen 
You wana catch a peek 
But they look at you 
Like you're such a freak 
Well you're only sixteen 
With a lot to say 
But they won't give you 
The time of day 

You're only sixteen! 
You're only sixteen! 
You're just sixteen!! 
You poor little thing 

Sappy pathetic little me 
That was the girl I used to be 
You had me on my knees 

I'd trade you places any day 
I'd never thought you could be that way 
But you looked like me on Sunday 

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday 
Without any warning 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you well. . . so well 

You're trying my shoes on for a change 
They look so good but fit so strange 
Out of fashion, so I can complain 

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday 
Without any warning 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you 
I thought I knew you well. . . so well 

I know who I am, but who are you? 
You're not looking like you used to 
You're on the other side of the mirror 
So nothing's looking quite as clear 
Thank you for turning on the lights 
Thank you, now you're the parasite 
I didn't think you had it in you 
And now you're looking like I used to 

You came in with the breeze 
On Sunday morning 
You sure have changed since yesterday 
Without any warning 
And you want me badly 
You cannot have me 
I thought I knew you 
But I've got a new view 
I thought I knew you well . . . oh well 

You and me 
We used to be together 
Every day together 
always 
I really feel 
That I'm losing my best friend 
I can't believe this could be the end 
It looks as though 
you're letting go 
And if it's real, Well I don't want to know 

[Chorus]
Don't speak 
I know just what you're saying 
So please stop explaining 
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts 
Don't speak 
I know what you're thinking 
I don't need your reasons 
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts 

Our memories 
They can be inviting 
But some are altogether mighty frightening 
As we die, 
both you and I 
With my head in my hands I sit and cry 

[Chorus]

It's all ending 
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
 
You and me I can see us dying ... are we? 

[Chorus]

Since you've been gone 
Since you've been unglued 
It's hard to figure out 
Your next move 
One minute here 
The next you're gone 
Let's make an end 
To this sad sad song 

For you it's hard to take 
'Cause the pill has an awful taste 
Just open up and swallow down 
Once it hits bottom 
Things may turn around 

Unfortunately this is the case 
You've got to catch up 
And win the race 
Straighten yourself out 
You can do it 
You're gonna do it 

Everything you say has been taken bone 
And most they say it's a sad sad song 
They can't understand 
That you mean to do good 
I guess you could say 
You're misunderstood 

I know you're meaning well 
But you've been shot to hell 
Just come back and join us now 
'Cause I know that you know how 

Unfortunately this is the case 
You've got to catch up 
And win the race 
Straighten yourself out 
You can do it 
You're gonna do it 

I know it seems 
They're messing with your mind 
But you don't have to go 
Foreward blind 
So let the bygones be bygone 
And let's make an end 
To this sad, sad song 

In the quickness of our haste 
It seems we forget how to live 
The old blueprint 
No longer manifests itself 
As the correct way to exist 

Wipe the grime off the view hole 
And please take a closer look 
Environmental bandits 
Up to their shenanigans 
Crooks disguised... 

We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round 

Our individual roles we think 
Not so important to the plot 
The big picture unseen 
Leaving life in between 
Destroyed and overwrought 

There's no need to point the finger 
We understand who takes the blame 
Delinquents caught 
Red-handed in the act 
Crooks disguised as you and I 

We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round 

You see there's many many many 
People in the world 
And I'm not sure if I like 
What I've heard 
I'm not sure if I like 
What I'm doing myself 
I'm not sure if I like how it turns 

Degradation 
Violation 
Inexcusable exploitation 
It's the dawning of a new era 
People consciously don't care 
How unfair 

We've got to find another way 
To make the world go 'round 

You see in the past I had a dream 
A fantasy 
I thought that we would last 
Become a little family 
Then one, two, three, four 
The years were flying by 
They soared 
And it's my gut feeling 
It's not happening for me, so... 

Let's end it on this 
Give me one last kiss 
Let's end it on this 
Let's end it on this 

You see it's hard to face 
The addict that's inside of me 
I want to fill my glass up 
With you constantly 
I've been here before 

But I've never ever felt this sure 
And now I know I've been dreaming 
And your actions 
Have inspired me, so... 

Let's end it on this 
Give me one last kiss 
Let's end it on this 
Let's end it on this 

I open up, you ignore me 
You're not the same at all 
And if I could turn back 
The pages of time 
I'd rewrite your point of view 

Washed up on the shore 
Given one last chance 
To try some more 
But I'm tired, I'm freezing 
Let's stop and call it history 

Once was a magical place 
Over time it was lost 
Price increased the cost 
Now the fortune of the kingdom 
Is locked up in its dungeon vaults 
The castle floor lies in traps 
With coiled wires set back 
Decayed by old cheese 
Now the drawbridge has been lifted 
As the millions 
They drop to their knees 

They pay homage to a king 
Whose dreams are buried 
In their minds 
His tears are frozen stiff 
Icicles drip from his eyes 

The cold wind blows as it snows 
On those who fight to get in 
On heads that are small 
Disillusioned as they enter 
They're unaware what's 
Behind castle walls 
But now it's written in stone 
The king has been overthrown 
By jesterly fools 
And the power of the people 
Shall come to believe they do rule 

They pay homage to a king 
Whose dreams are buried 
In their minds 
His tears are frozen stiff 
Icicles drip from his eyes 
Welcome to the tragic kingdom 
Cornfields of popcorn 
Have yet to spring open 

Have they lost their heads 
Or are they just all blind mice 
We've heard all their stories 
One too many times 
Hypnotized by fireflies 
That glow in the dark 
Midgets that disguise themselves 
As tiny little dwarfs 
The parade that's electrical 
It serves no real purpose 
Just take up a lot of juice 
Just to impress us 

Welcome to the tragic kingdom 
Cornfields of popcorn 
Have yet to spring open
