Lyrics to Some of My Favorite Songs
"I Want You" THIRD EYE BLIND
Suckers lose themselves in the games they learn to play
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away
People always take a step away from what is true
That's why I like you around
I want you
Yeah you do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You make me want you
An open invitation to your dance
Happenstance set the vibe that we're in
No apology because my urge is geniune
And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine
Here I am and I want to take a hit
Of your scent 'cuz it bit so deep into my soul
Oooh, I want you
Yeah you do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You make me want you
Yeah you do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You make me want you
And I can't get enough
(I, I, I, I)
Oooh I can't get enough
And I can't get enough
(you, you, you, you)
Oh I can't get enough
The village churchyard is filled with bones weeping in the grave
A silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save
You want to know how deeply my soul goes
Deeper than bones
Deeper than bones
And I can't get enough
(I, I, I, I)
Oooh I can't get enough
And I can't get enough
(You, you, you, you)
Oh I can't get enough
After we did it by the window sill
Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky
Presently in the quilt that your mother made
A candle burns to fight off the gloom
I said, "To live this way is not for the meek"
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep
I said there will be no regrets when the worms come
And they shall surely come
Yeah you do, you do, you do, you do
you do, you do, you do, you do
You make me want you
(Send me all your vampires)
Yeah you do, you do, you do, you do
you do, you do, you do, you do
You make me want you
***
"God of Wine" THIRD EYE BLIND
Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin to get clean again?
Can we get clean again?
I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
Can we get clean again?
I want to know
Can we get clean again?
The god of wine comes crashing through
the headlights of a car that
Took you farther than you thought
you'd ever wanna go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way
And cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
(It's stuck underneath the moon)
I said I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
I can't keep it all together
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone on your face
Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack
A fradulent zodiac
And the god of wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
Now I'm going down
and you're not even around
And I said no...
I can't keep it all together
(It's stuck underneath the moon)
I said, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
I can't keep it all togther
And there's a memory of a window
Looking through, I see you
Searching for something I could never give you
There's someone who understands you more than I do
A sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face
***
"Deep Inside Of You" THIRD EYE BLIND
When we met, light was shed
Thoughts free flow
You said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sound
Sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you
These secret garden beams
Changed my life, so it seems
A fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride, my thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh yeah
And I never felt alone, alright
Oh oh, till I met you
Friends say I've changed
I don't listen 'cuz I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress
Shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you
You said, "boy make girl feel good"
But still, deep inside
Still
I've never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do
If I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
'Cuz I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you, and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me
But we were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
Something's gone, you withdraw
And I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you
I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare
At a ghost deep inside of you
And some great need in me
Starts to bleed
I've lost myself, there's nothing left
It's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
***
"Diluted" SLIPKNOT
I'm cold, I'm ugly
I'm always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie
It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes
My heros are dead, they died in my head
Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again
Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today, forget whatever happened
Everyday I see a little more of overall deficiencies
I'm nothing short of being one complete catastrophe
What the hell - did I - do to deserve - all of this?
I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens
I decrease, while my symptoms increase
God what the fuck is wrong
You act like you knew it all along
Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing
All I ever wanted out of you was
something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What you've fucking done to me
Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimme any reason why I'd need you, bitch
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
I see you in me
I keep my scars from prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe, I've got to have an answer
Why am I so fascinated by
bigger pictures, better things
But I don't care what you think
You'll never understand me
***
"Not Living" COAL CHAMBER
I realize I'm dead I'm fucked in the headI'm not living without you
My life is a game my life is a shameI'm not living without you
My heart is a joke and my life has been chokedAnd I'm not living without you
My life is alone my life is aloneI'm not living without you
You're bleeding me you're bleeding me you're bleeding meYou're bleeding
I realize I;m dead I'm fucked in the headI'm not living without you
My life is a game my life is a shameI'm not living without you
This heart has been choked and my life is a jokeAnd I'm not living without you
You're bleeding me you're bleeding me you're bleeding meYou're bleeding...You!
You've taken all from meWhat I have to seeWhat I cannot be inside you
My love my God my love bleeding meWhat;s this? what's this?I can't live
I realize I'm dead I'm fucked in the headI'm not living without you
My life is a game my life is a shameI'm not living without you
This heart is a joke and my life has been chokedANd I'm not living without you
And my life is a game my life is a shameI'm not living without you
You're bleeding me you're bleeding me you're bleeding me you're bleeding... you!

"Bent" MATCHBOX 20
If I fall along the way
pick me up and dust me off.
and if I get too tired to make it
be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love
give me more than I can stand
and when my smile gets old and faded
wait around I'll smile again
shouldn't be so complicated
just hold me and then
just hold me again
can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together
you're breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me bent
If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
could you paint me better off
could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I'm jaded
just phoning it in
just breaking the skin
start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces
start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in
shouldn't be so complicated
just touch me and then
just touch me again
***
"Push" MATCHBOX 20
she said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
and I don't know if I've ever been really loved
by a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
gonna give
and I'm a little bit angry, well
this ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
around
you don't owe me, we might change
yeah we just might feel good
(chorus)
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will
she said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
gonna hurt ya
and I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
you couldn't stand to be near me
when my face don't seem to want to shine
cuz it's a little bit dirty well
don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
you don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all
(chorus)
oh but don't bowl me over
just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
crazy, crazy
don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

"I Will Come To You" HANSON
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may
(Repeat Chorus)
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand
(Repeat Chorus)
***
"If Only" HANSON
'Cause I need you
Well every single time I see you
I start to feel this way
It makes me want to live forever
Gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging in the back of my head
Sayin' over, it's over
I wanna hold you Have you in my arms and then
I wanna need you
'Cause I need to be with you til the end
Then I hear myself reply
"You've got to hold it in this time tonight"
If only I had the guts to feel this way
If only you'd look at me and want to stay
If only I'd take you in my arms and say
"I won't go cause I need you"
{harmonica solo}
I see the way you want and hope that I make this right
'Cause I always dream about ya and your face and all
These lonely nights

"Well I won't go 'cause I need you
Please don't go 'cause I need you now"
I wanna hear you say (I wanna hear you say)
That it'll always be this way
We'll be hand in hand for every night
And every day
I wanna scream and shout (I wanna scream and shout)
'Cause I know we'll never die

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay

"Save Me" HANSON
Loving you
Like I never have before
I'm needing you
Just to open up the door
Begging you
That some might turn the tides
And tell me to
I've got to get this off my mind
I never thought I'd be speaking these words
I never thought I'd need to say
Another day alone is more than I can take
Won't you save me?
Saving's what I need
Well, I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me?
I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea
Of life
Listen please
Baby don't walk out that door
I'm on my knees
You're all I'm living for
I never thought I'd be speaking these words
Heaven thought I'd find a way
Another day alone is more than I can take
Won't you save me?
Saving's what I need
Well, I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me?
I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea
Of life
Suddenly my sky is falling
Could it be it's too late for me
And if I never said I'm sorry
Well I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
Then I hear my spirit calling
Wondering if she's longing for me
And then I know that I can't live without her
Won't you save me?
Saving's what I need
Well, I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me?
I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea
Of life
Won't you save me?
Won't you save me?
Won't you save me?

"Runaway Run" HANSON
And I waited for you, and I waited for you
Just a picture and a feeling and a face
How could I forget your touch, your warm embrace
And the shoes you wore with long black satin lace
As you walked into my mind
As I walked into this old forgotten hall
Just one look and I began to fall
Wish I could frame you and this feeling on the wall
To stare at 'till there is not time
And I waited for you
Just hoping that you'd come back to me
And I waited for you
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day I will find someone too
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day, maybe some day
From a distance watched the flowers brush your cheek
As you read the words I wrote I couldn't speak
But now I lay here broken heart and blistered feet
As you're spinning 'round my mind
And I waited for you
Dreaming of you coming to me
And I waited for you
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day I will find someone too
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day, maybe some day
When you weep you can know that it's all right
As you sleep I'll just follow your door light
We can talk just as long as you hold on tight
Just one breath is a million sighs
I can tell every breath that you're breathing
I can feel every thought that you're thinking
We can talk it's a thousand years gone by
You and I
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day I will find someone too
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day, maybe some day
Run, run, runaway, run
Maybe some day I will find some way
Maybe some day, maybe some day
I'll run away, yeah

"A Song To Sing" HANSON
Goodbye four leaf clovers.
Hello gone awry
Don't cry the fight ain't over
Unless you let it pass you by
(chorus)
I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.
I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'
Of me.
Oh...
You've been thinking of me.
All that I have found in reason,
Is reason just to not believe.
And all that you are left is treason.
Is treason just to let it be.
(chorus)
I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.
I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'
The blue yonder dreams
And second hand shoes
You're so far gone,
That you live to lose.
And it's too late to go home
All alone.
Your the tar in that
Old cigar
And the worn out cable
On a cable car - and,
You're too tired to admit
You've got to choose.
(chorus)
I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.
I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'
Of me.
Oh...
You've been thinking of me.

"I Wish I Was There" HANSON
The sun has fallen'
Another day gone
Without you.
My heart keeps callin'
And I don't know just what to do
When you're near me.
I seem to forget my lonely days.
It's more than a feelin'
It's something that can't be explained
(chorus)
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I wish that i was there.
You were fallin'
Now I'm coming round again.
I was callin'
Cause without you it's the end
I just wanna see you a little more.
I just wanna dream of some more.
I just wanna see you a little more.
I just wanna be with you some more.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I'm wishin' that i was there.
And you make me feel
Won't you take me
When you're not here.
It's been raining here.
And I just want you
To be near.
I just wanna dream of some more.
I just wanna see you a little more.
I just wanna be with you some more.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I'm wishin' that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
(and you make me feel)
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
(Won't you take me when you're not here.)
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
(It's been raining here.)
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
(And I just want you to be near.)
I'm wishin' that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
I wish that i was there.
When you're not here.
I wish that i was there.

"The Warmth" INCUBUS
I'd like to close my eyes
and go numb but there's a cold wind coming
from the top of the highest high-rise today.
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard.
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know,
watch the warmth blow away.
Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear(?)
Or should I hold my head up high
and throw a wrench and spokes by leaving the air behind me clear?
Don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came
and while you're alive
experience the warmth
before you grow old.
***
"Stellar" INCUBUS
Meet me in outer space.
We could spend the night;
watch the earth come up.
I've grown tired of that place;
won't you come with me? WE could start again.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
Meet me in outer space.
I will hold you close,
if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place,
it might be the only way
that I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
You are stellar.
***
"Drive" INCUBUS
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask myself
how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before,
and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I am beginning to find
that I should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be
one of the hive will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find
that when I drive myself my light is found.
So whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
Yeh. Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive?
Would you choose water over wine....
hold the wheel and drive?
***
"I Miss You" INCUBUS
To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said, I miss you.(?)
I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care and I miss you.
***
"The Burn" MATCHBOX 20
I thought about
Leaving - but I couldn't even get outta bed
Hitchin' - but I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round
Thought about
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
Now I'm down
And I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
Forgot About
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
So I wonder how I never got the Burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
***
"Bed of Lies" MATCHBOX 20
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another
hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry.
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And they'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave 'til it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we've made
I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me
but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
***
"Rest Stop" MATCHBOX 20
Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but I'm not
And could you please collect your things
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more
Than what's happening with you
If you'd - open up the door
She said - while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you're dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought - hell if it's over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me
Have you forgotten
Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken down man - and as I opened up the door
