Ani Difranco Lyrics
You are a suble as a window pane ~ standing in my view ~ but I will wait for it to rain ~ so that I can see you ~ You call me up at night ~ when there's no light passing through ~ and you think that I don't understand ~ but I do
{Anticipate}
I can't always wait ~ for your circumstance to improve ~ Love is loose it ~ shifts each time you move ~ go ahead, put my back ~ against the wall ~ give it all up ~ or don't give it to me at all
{Make Me Stay}
When you look in the mirror ~ do you see visions of your past? ~ I ain't got time for halfway ~ I ain't got time for half-assed ~ When I look in the mirror ~ I see my days to come ~ and my face is just a trace ~ of where I'm coming from
{Circle of Light}
I'm no heroine ~ at least, not the last time I checked ~ I'm too easy to roll over ~ I'm too easy to wreck
{I'm No Heroine
Tell me, who is your boogieman ~ that's who I'll be ~ You don't have to like me for who I am ~ but we'll see what you're made of ~ by what you make of me
{Willing to Fight}
Every tool is a weapon ~ if you hold it right
{My IQ}
I'm still here because ~ I've got nothing else to do ~ You're an asshole ~ but I'm getting used to you ~ I like the fact that ~ you talk incessantly ~ I got a thing for assholes ~ who tell good stories ~ I think that drinking ~ is the only thing that you do right ~ You're gonna self-destruct ~ I think that's what I like ~ You like me so you try and make me ~ feel like shit ~ I think it's kind of funny, yeah ~ I kind of enjoy it
{Used to You}
Life is a B movie ~ it's stupid and it's strange ~ a directionless story ~ and the dialogue is lame ~ But in the he said, she said ~ sometimes there's some poetry ~ if you turn your back long enough ~ and let it happen naturally
{Hell Yeah}
I search your profile ~ for a translation ~ I study the conversation ~ like a map ~ 'cause I know there is strength ~ in the differences between us ~ And I know there is comfort ~ where we overlap
{Overlap}
I'm sorry I can't help you ~ I cannot keep you safe ~ I'm sorry I can't help myself ~ so don't look at me that way ~ We can't fight gravity on a planet that insists ~ that love is like falling ~ and falling is like this
{Falling is Like This}
Give me your vertical ~ your horizontal line ~ I want to take each one of them ~ bend them to fit mine ~ The world is too good for me ~ I'm such a naughty girl ~ But when we're together ~ we're too good for this world
{Worthy}
I'm not trying to give my life meaning ~ by demeaning you ~ and I would like to state for the record ~ I did everything that I could do ~ I'm not saying that I'm a saint ~ I just don't want to live that way ~ No, I will never be a saint ~ but I will always say ~ Squint your eyes and look closer ~ I'm not between you and your ambition ~ I am a poster girl with no poster ~ I am thirty-two flavors and then some ~ and I'm beyond your peripheral vision ~ so you might want to turn your head ~ 'cause someday you might find that you're starving ~ and eating all of the words you just said
{32 Flavors}
I want somebody who can hold my interest ~ hold it and never let it go ~ someone who can flatten me with a kiss ~ that hits like a fist ~ or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
{Asking too Much}
We both have gardens of songs and maybe it's okay ~ that I am speechless because I picked you this bouquet
{This Bouquet}
So fuck you ~ and your untouchable face ~ Fuck you ~ for existing in the first place ~ and who am I ~ that I should be vying for your touch ~ who am I ~ I bet you can't even tell me that much
{Untouchable Face}
So I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile ~ If I'm gonna go down ~ I'm gonna do it with style ~ And you won't see me surrender ~ you won't see me confess ~ 'cause you've left me with nothing ~ but I've worked with less
{Dilate}
Before it gets so cold ~ that the rain turns to snow ~ there's just a couple of things ~ I'd like to know ~ Like how could you do nothing ~ and say, I'm doing my best ~ how could you take almost everything ~ and then come back for the rest ~ how could you beg me to stay ~ reach out your hands and plead ~ and then pack up your eyes and run away ~ as soon as I agreed
{Done Wrong}
I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind ~ 'cause I'm bigger than everything that came before ~ And you were never very kind ~ and you let me way down every time ~ but oh, oh, oh what can I say...~ I adore you
{Gravel}
'Cause when I look around ~ I think this, this is good enough ~ and I try to laugh ~ at whatever life brings ~ 'Cause when I look down ~ I just miss all the good stuff ~ and when I look up ~ I just trip over things
{As Is}
Now I'm crusing through a chromakey blue sky ~ and I know that in an hour or three ~ the sun is gonna be in my eyes ~ and I know that sometimes all I can see ~ is how I feel ~ like the whole world is on the other side of a dirty winshield ~ And I'm trying to see through the glare ~ yes, I'm struggling just to see what's there
{Virtue}
You ~ are distracting me ~ from all other activities ~ and I know the fact of your presence ~ will dominate my memory
{Carry You Around}
Isn't it just like you ~ to bring me to my knees ~ in my brand new stockings ~ Love makes me feel so dumb
{Ain't That the Way}
I try not to let my emotions show ~ but it ain't a balloon I can just let go
{Heartbreak Even}
Dreams are languid and lawless ~ and everything bows to beauty ~ when it is fierce ~ and when it is flawless
{Fierce Flawless}
Who were you then ~ and who are you now ~ that you can pretend ~ that you can figure it all out ~ subtract out the impact ~ and the fall is all you get ~ So it takes two beers to remember now ~ and three more to forget ~ that I loved you so ~ Yeah, I loved you ~ So what...I loved you ~ So What?
{So What}
How sick of me ~ you must be ~ by now ~ While you're standing just outside ~ of what your pride will allow ~ always reaching into yourself ~ to find a new way to understand me ~ When I'm sure that there's no one else ~ in the world ~ who could withstand me
{Sick of Me}
You are a miracle but that is not all ~ you are also a stiff drink and I am on call ~ You are a party and I am a school night ~ and I'm lookin' for my door key ~ but you are my porch light~ And you'll never know dear ~ just how much I loved you ~ You'll probably think this was ~ just my big excuse ~ but I stand committed ~ to a love that came before you ~ and the fact that I adore you ~ is but on of my truths
{School Night}
And though I love you through all time and space ~ my love always seems to take second place
Revelling}
Even when I look right at you ~ I always just see right through ~ and I always just see new things ~ to admire about you
{In Here}
No, you didn't just leave ~ I actually kicked you out ~ I coudn't hardly believe ~ that the words came out my mouth ~ You couldn't hardly believe ~ what your heard yourself discuss ~ as you packed up all your things ~ and you said goodbye to us
{In the Way}
If we let our love ~ off of its leash ~ do you fear like I fear ~ how fierce it could be?
{Oh My My}
Dave Matthews Band Lyrics
I play my cards ~ the best I can ~ But I lose my luck ~ when you're not here ~ My darling heart ~ won't ya please give in? ~ I may be strong, but I want ya back again
{Angel}
She thinks, we look at each other ~ wondering what the other is thinking ~ but we never say a thing ~ and these crimes between us grow deeper ~ Take these chances ~ place them in a box until a quieter time ~ Lights down, you up and die
{Ants Marching}
Bartender, please ~ fill my glass for me ~ with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free ~ after three days in the ground
{Bartender}
Seeing things from a ~ better side than most can dream ~ on a better road I feel ~ So you could say she's safe ~ whatever tears at her ~ whatever holds her down ~ and if nothing can be done ~ she'll make the best of what's around
{Best of What's Around}
Not enough ~ never too much ~ My baby look just like love ~ Rolling stone ~ gathers no moss ~ but leaves a trail of ~ busted stuff
{Busted Stuff}
Sweet like candy to my soul ~ sweet you rock ~ and sweet you roll ~ Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
{Crash Into Me}
Touch your lips just so I know ~ in your eyes, love, it glows so ~ I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you
{Crash Into Me}
I watch you there ~ though the window ~ and I stare at you ~ You wear nothing, but you ~ wear it so well ~ Tied up and twisted ~ the way I'd like to be
{Crash Into Me}
It's crazy, I'm thinking ~ just knowing that the world is round ~ and here I'm dancing on the ground ~ Am I right-side up or upside down ~ is this real or am I dreaming
{Crush}
All you need is ~ all you want is ~ all you need is love
{Everyday}
Oh there's an emptiness inside her ~ and she'd do anything to fill it in ~ and though it's red blood bleeding from her now ~ it's more like cold blue ice in her heart ~ She feels like kicking out all the windows ~ and setting fire to this life ~ She could change everything about her ~ using colors bold and bright ~ But all the colors mix together ~ to grey ~ and it breaks her heart
{Grey Street}
I remember thinking ~ I'll go on forever only knowing ~ I'll see you again ~ But I know ~ the touch of you is so hard to remember ~ but like that touch I know no other
{I'll Back You Up}
If I were a king ~ if I had everything ~ if I had you and I could give you your dreams ~ if I were giant-sized, on top of it all ~ then tell me what in the world would I go on for ~ if I had it all ~ If I had it all, you know ~ I'd fuck it up
{If I Had it All}
Sometimes a Jimi Thing
is right there to keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows, sometimes, I take a bus there
I don't care, I shouldn't care bereaved as
I'm feeling
Day is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
And What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... Jimi
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
{Jimi Thing}
Take all you want ~ for what is mine is yours ~ no better use is there for what I've got ~ Take all you want ~ and only hope can I, you won't deny ~ your love for me, my love
{JTR}
I let you down ~ let me pick you up ~ I let you down ~ let me climb up you to the top ~ so I can see the view from up there ~ tangled in your hair
{Let You Down}
I can't believe that we would ~ lie in our graves ~ wondering if we had ~ spent our living days well ~ I can't believe that we would ~ lie in our graves ~ dreaming of things that we ~ might have been
{Lie in Our Graves}
I can't forget the taste of your mouth ~ from your lips, oh, the heavens pour out ~ I can't forget when we are one ~ with you alone I am free
{Love of My Life w/ Santana}
Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head ~ slip into my lover's hands ~ kiss me, oh won't you kiss me now ~ and sleep I would inside your mouth
{Lover Lay Down}
One sweet world ~ around this star is spinning ~ One sweet world ~ in her breath I'm swimming ~ and here we will rest in peace
{One Sweet World}
Everyboyd asks me how she's doin' ~ has she really lost her mind? ~ I said, I couldn't tell you ~ I've lost mine
{Pay For What You Get}
Just love will open our eyes ~ just love will put the hope back in our minds ~ much more than we could ever know ~ Oh, so don't burn the day away ~ don't burn the day away ~ Come sister, my brother ~ shake up your bones, shake up your feet ~ I'm saying open up ~ and let the rain come pouring in ~ Was out this tired notion ~ that the best is yet to come ~ But while you're dancing on the ground ~ don't think of when you're gone
{Pig}
Hip lock up so tight ~ good God, you drive me crazy ~ Crazy is alright ~ with you looking at me ~ You make me feel high ~ Every single thing you do to me ~ is like I'm drunk
{Rapunzel}
How long I'm tied up ~ my mind in knots, my stomach reels ~ in concern for what I might do or ~ what I've done ~ It's got me living in fear ~ Well I know these voices must ~ be my soul ~ I've had enough ~ I've had enough ~ of being alone ~ I've got no place to go
{Rhyme & Reason}
Winter's cold, spring erases ~ and the calm away by the storm is chasen ~ Everything good needs replacing ~ Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
{Satellite}
You and me twist up ~ secret creatures ~ and we'll stay here ~ tomorrow go back to being friends ~ go back to being friends ~ But tonight let's be lovers ~ we kiss and sweat ~ We'll turn this better thing ~ to the best ~ Of all we can offer, just a rogue kiss ~ tangled tongues and lips ~ See me this way ~ I'm turning and turning for you ~ Girl, just tonight
{Say Goodbye}
Forget about the reasons and ~ the treasons we are seeing ~ Forget out the notion that ~ our emotions can be kept at bay ~ Forget about being guilty ~ we are innocent instead ~ for soon we will all find our lives swept away
{Seek Up}
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside ~ can't see the light ~ And my Heaven is a nice house in the sky ~ got central heating and I'm alright ~ 'Cause here we have been standing for a long, long time ~ treading trodden traisl for a long, long time ~ I find sometimes it's easy to be myself ~ sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
{So Much To Say}
