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)

'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 There's a feeling in the screaming in the back of my head Sayin' over, it's over

"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
