Only When I Sleep
You're only just a dream boat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

But It's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm working through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep

It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep...

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian high
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian high

When He's Not Around
He's uncool an unsophisticat
He's a tightrope walker on an open path
He's a maze of curiosity
He is the living bread that cures my appetite

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Every day is bluey grey
When he's not in town

His mistique is one of innocence
I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes
And I would be preening in paradise
If I were always beside him like his siamese

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Every day is bluey grey
When he's not in town

Can I keep him in my galaxy
Can he live within my fantasy

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Every day is bluey grey
When he's not in town

Can I keep him in my galaxy
Can he live within my fantasy

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Every day is bluey grey
When he's not in town

What Can I Do
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying...

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

Love me...

I Never Loved You Anyway
You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over
I'm only sorry that I didn't make the move before you

And when you go I will remember
To send a thank you note to that girl
I see she's holding you so tender
Well I just wanna say

I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad you're moving away

Valentino I don't think so
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an empty bed
And come to think of it
I was misled
My flat my food my everything
And thoughts inside my head

Before you go I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
Does she know you're not a spender
Well I just have to say

I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away

And when you go I will remember
I must remember to say...
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never truly loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away
Yeah I'm delighted your moving away

So Young
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

We are taking it easy
Bright and breezy yeah
We are living it up
Just fine and dandy yeah

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep
It really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

Cause we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again

We are chasing the mood
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream and every need

And it really doesn't matter if we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep
It really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

Cause we are so young now, we are so young so young now
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again
Yeah we are so young now, we are so young so young now
And when tomorrow comes we'll just do it all again

Yeah so young now, we are so young so young now
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again
Yeah we are so young now, we are so young so young now
And when tomorrow comes we'll just do it all again
We are so young
We are so young

Don't Say You Love Me
I've seen this place a thousand times
I've felt this all before
And every time you call
I've waited there as though you might not call at all

I know this face I'm wearing now
I've seen this in my eyes
And though it feels so great, I'm still afraid
That you'll be leaving anytime

We've done this once and then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more

Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away

I've caught myself smiling alone
Just thinking of your voice
And dreaming of your touch is all too much
You know I don't have any choice

Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away

We've done this once and then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more

Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away...
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
Take it all away
Or take it all away

Love Gives Love Takes
Just when I thought it was safe
You found me in my hiding place
I'd promised never again
I wouldn't give my heart, but then
Closer, closer I moved near you
The way I want you makes me fear you

Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away

I find it hard to explain
It's crazy, but it's happening
And I'm falling again
Much farther than I've ever been
I'm falling deeper than the ocean
I am lost in this emotion

Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away

Love can give and love can take away
Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away

Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away

Hopelessly Addicted
Opened my eyes today
And I know there's something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted

I'll make a wish this day
And I'll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay
Entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Cause nothing stays the same
I know we will survive

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Naturally we acted

Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted

Intimacy
Last night before you fell asleep
You whispered something to me
Was it just a dream
I'm gonna listen to you close
Cause your goodnight kiss
Felt like a ghost

What are you trying to say to me
What are you trying to say

Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

We come into this world alone
From the heart of darkness
The infinite unknown
We're only here a little while
And I feel safe and warm when I see you smile

Baby don't move away from me
Baby don't pull away

Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Remember when you were a child
And your momma would hold you in her arms
And rock you to sleep
Now darling there's just you and I
Let's give each other everything baby baby...

Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Baby come and lay down next to me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's searching for intimacy

Queen Of Hollywood
She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood

She's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got handprints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood

No she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, and even though she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood
She's the queen of Hollywood
And her friends still talk on corners
Queen of Hollywood

No Good For Me
I see a home in a quiet place
I see myself in a strong embrace
And I feel protection from the human race
It's not parental

But it's a fantasy, not a reality
And it's no good, no no good for me
You have no idea

That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me

You have a home in a quiet place
And someone else feels your strong embrace
She is protected and she needs no chase
And do you love her???

You're a mystery, you are the heart of intrigue
You're no good, no no good for me
You have no idea

That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
No it's no good for me
No good for me

It's so make-believe
You have no idea

That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move close to me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good just no good, no good
Through the clouds when you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
It's no good for me

Little Wing
Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
Moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright it's alright she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's run wild
Butterflies and zebras
Moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright it's alright she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly little wing...
Fly little wing
I want her to fly
