John Mayer
No Such Thing
"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dream of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
I am invincible
As long as I'm alive
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
--------------------
311 - Amber
Brainstorm
take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
and it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
you ought to know what brings me here
you glide through my head blind to fear
and I know why
whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away
your voice rings like a bell anyway
don't give up your independence
unless it feels so right
nothing good comes easily
sometimes you gotta fight
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
you launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
still it's fine from afar, and you know that
whoa, brainstorm
take me away from the norm
whoa, I got to tell you something
--------------------
YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)
So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out..
It wears her out..
It wears her out..
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out..
It wears him out..
It wears him out..
It weeeeeaaaars
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time..
All the time..

COLDPLAY - The Scientist
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, Comet tails
Heads are a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing, At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, Chasing tails
coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Eric Clapton---Wonderful Tonight
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
--------------------------
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over
pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know, she tells herself
Oh
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Yeah
She loved him, yeah she don't want to leave this way
She needs him, yeah that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
-----------------------
Kiss me each morning for a million years,
Hold me each evening at your side,
Tell me you love me, for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye...
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss,
Soften my dreams with your sigh,
Tell me you love me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye...
If you must go, no I won't grieve,
If you wait a lifetime before you leave . . .
But if you must go, I won't tell you no,
Just so that we can, say we tried,
Tell me you love me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye...
Then you can tell me goodbye . . .

U2 - One
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
C-Am-F-C
You say
One love, one life
When it's one need in the night
It's one love we get to share it
It leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Am-Dadd2-Fmaj7-G6+
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
[Solo]
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
We hurt each other then we do it again
You say
C Am
Love is a temple, Love a higher law
Love is a temple, Love the higher law
C G
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
Fmaj7
And I can't be holding on to what you got
C
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One. One.

RHCP - by the way
Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Overload
Steakknife... Card Shark... Con Job... Boot Cut
Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ
Get there quick, by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick, to make a little leeway
Beat that nic, but not the way that we play
Dog Town... Blood Bath... Rib Cage... Soft Tail...
Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for
Black Jack... Dope Dick... Pawn Shop... Quick Pick...
Kiss that Dyke, I know you want to hold one
Not on strike, but I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic, I know you never stole one
Girls that like, a story so I told one
Song Bird... Main Line... Cash Back... Hard top...
Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there...
Waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Oversold
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there

Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya

Creed - With Arms Wide Open
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

Roman Riccio - All Alone
Sometimes I just don't know why
I just can't say goodbye
Sometimes I just can't explain
What's going through my mind
Sometimes I wish I could find
Another way to get by
All alone while I'm by myself
I'll wither and die
Time goes by (time goes by)
And people change (people change)
I don't want (I don't want)
To say goodbye
Down the path and past the tree
I lay down to rest my head
All alone while I'm by myself
I'll wither and die
Time goes by (time goes by)
And people change (people change)
I don't want (I don't want)
To say goodbye
----------------------
Moulin Rouge - Come What May
never knew i could feel like this
like i've never seen the sky before
want to vanish, inside your kiss
every day i love you more and more
listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
telling me to give you everything
seasons may change, winter to spring
but i love you, until the end of time
come what may, come what may
i will love you until my dying day
suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
it all revolves around you
and there's no mountain too high, no river too wide
sing out this song and i'll be there by your side
storm clouds may gather and stones may collide
but i love you, until the end of time
come what may, come what may
i will love you until my dying day
oh come what may, come what may
i will love you
suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
come what may, come what may
i will love you until my dying day
------------------------------
Norah Jones - Don't Know Why
i waited til i saw the sun
i don't know why i didn't come
i left you by the the house of fun
i don't know why i didn't come
i don't know why i didn't come
when i saw the break of day
i wished that i could fly away
standing near an endless sand
catching teardrops in my hand
my heart is drenched in wine
but you'll be on my mind forever
out across the endless sea
i will die in ecstacy
but i'll be vagabond
driving down the road alone
my heart is drenched in wine
but you'll be on my mind forever
(interlude)
something has to make you run
i don't know why i didn't come
i feel as empty as a drum
i don't know why i didn't come
i don't know why i didn't come
--------------------------
India Arie - Ready For Love
i am ready for love, why are you hiding from me
i'd quickly give my freedom, to be held in your captivity
i am ready for love, all of the joy and the pain
and all the time that it takes, just to stay in your good grace
lately i've been thinking maybe you're not ready for me
maybe you think i need to learn maturity
they say watch what you ask for, cause you might receive
but if you ask me tomorrow, i'll say the same thing
i am ready for love, would you please lend me your ear
i promise i won't complain, i just need you to acknowledge i am here
if you give me half a chance i'll prove this to you
i will be patient, kind, faithful and true
to a man who loves music, a man who loves art
respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart
i am ready for love, if you'll take me in your hands
i will learn what you teach, and do the best that i can
i am ready for love, here with an offering of
my voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
tell me what is enough, to prove i am ready for love
are you ready
---------------------------
Skillet - Angels
i saw angels fall down at the glory of the lord
and as i raise my hands i sing
i saw angels fall down at the glory of the lord
and as i hit the ground i sing
and i fall down
i find i'm shaking here
and i fall down
i'm perfectly safe in him
i saw angels fall down at the glory of the lord
the hurt and the broken rest here
i saw angels fall down at the beauty of the lord
and as i kneeled i cried to know him
and i fall down
i find i'm shaking here
and i fall down
i'm perfectly safe in him
i'm perfectly safe in him
i'm perfectly safe in him
----------------------------
Coldplay - Clocks
Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)
You are [x6]
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go [x4]

Death Cab For Cutie - a movie script ending
whenever i come back, the air on railroad is making the same sounds.
and the shop fronts on holly are dirty words (asterisks in for the vowels).
we peered through the windows: new bottoms on barstools but the people remain the same, with prices inflating.
as if saved from the gallows.
there's a bellow of buzzers and the people stop working and they're all so excited.
passing through unconscious states.
when i awoke i was on the highway.
with your hands on my shoulders, a meaningless movement: a moviescript ending,
and the patrons are leaving, leaving.
and now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs (yes, yes).
i'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep, they're just shuffling the sheets,
they toss and turn, (you can't begin to get it back).
passing through unconscious states.
when i awoke i was on
the onset of a later stage: the headlights are beacons on the highway.

Corrs - Celia Inside
You don't want the sun to shine in
so you turn the curtains down
your eyes still don't show me a thing
and you don't feel it's sunny outside
You don't want the joy for a while
but you stay up late at night
it hurts you that she's still alive
so you'll raise flowerbeds inside
But she, she will not get bothered at all
she's just watching the water at fall
so you should give them just what they need
water and poetry
cause she will not bother at all
she's just watching the water at fall
so you should give them just what they need
cause she will not bother at all
but you won't say you're not adored
by her beauty.... celia inside
You don't want to feel her at all
but who's that fellow man of hers
with who, your dear celia moved
and they'll sleep happily inside
....but you won't say you're not adored
by her beauty
and her purity
and her lovely.... celia inside

Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness
Are you listening
Sing it back
String from your tether unwinds
Up and outward to bind
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Are you listening?
Sing it back
Tell me what do I need
When words lose their meaning
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
stumble until you crawl
Sinking into sweet uncertainty
If you're listening
Are you listening?
Sing it back
I'm still running away
I won't play your hide and seek game
I was spinning free
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
What a dizzy dance
This sweetness will not be concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Audiovent - The Energy
Every now and then I think about you
And it makes me, it breaks me
Out of you and into me, I'll make it
So take a look at what you do to my head
When you're leaving, I'm breathing
Out of me and into you, I feel sick
I feel sick
Now that you're leaving
It complicates our lives
But I am the reason
That I will stay alive
We are the energy
We are the same as you
Take everything you need
We are the answer to
The broken, breaking through
Take everything from me
Every now and then I dream about you
I've lost the feeling, it's dead skin
I will never be dependent again
And every now and then I think about you
It's bringing me closer to closure
Every now and then I know it's over
It's over
Now that you're leaving
It complicates our lives
But I am the reason
That I will stay alive
We are the energy
We are the same as you
Take everything you need
We are the answer to
The broken, breaking through
Take everything from me
We are the energy
We are the same as you
Take everything you need
We are the answer to
The broken, breaking through
Take everything from me
Cause I'm not dying
No I'm not dying
Today
--------------------
Audiovent - Gravity
I hit the ground
While reaching out
Watch you rise away
I hear your voice
I see your face
When I look at me
We talk in rhyme
But lack the will
Comfort in the silence kills
I'm not the enemy
So don't you let me die
I'm caught in the gravity
Don't let me die
We make the sound
We use the words ever perfectly
And yet somehow
We never seem to know what to say
We talk in rhyme
But lack the will
Comfort in the silence kills
I'm not the enemy
So don't you let me die
I'm caught in the gravity
And you're the sky
I'm not the enemy
So don't you let me die
I'm caught in the gravity
Don't let me die
---------------------
Audiovent - Underwater Silence
Here in your coma
Here in your sleep
You have lost yourself somehow
you cannot hear me
although i scream
I can't stand to see you cry
Tonight
You dream under lonely eyelids
Find what you're looking for
You sleep in underwater silence
Alone
Here in your empty
There's no breeze
Claustrophobic in your skin
Refuse reflections
When they're from me
So in my eyes they will end
Tonight
You dream under lonely eyelids
Find what you're looking for
You sleep in underwater silence
Holding me down
Tonight
You are emotionless
Hold on
And on
You dream under lonely eyelids
Find what you're looking for
You sleep in underwater silence
Holding me down
Keep me alive in you
Just keep me alive in you
Just keep me alive
---------------------------------
Darkness
don't turn away
i pray you've heard the words i've spoken
dare to be late
over one last time
then i'll let the darkness govern me, deny everything
slowly walk away to breathe again on my own
killing me away
i need your strength to get me through this
debt to delay
over one last time
then i'll let the darkness govern me, deny everything
slowly walk away to breathe again on my own
on my own, on my own, on my own, on my own
over one last time
then i'll let the darkness govern me, deny everything
slowly walk away to breathe again on my own
------------------------------------------
Look at this face I know the years are showing.
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes they never see what matters.
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
So many questions still left unanswered.
So much I've never broken through.
And when I feel you near me, sometimes I see so clearly.
The only truth I'll ever know is me and you.
Look at this man so blessed with inspiration.
Look at this soul still searching for salvation.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know.

Shania Twain - From This Moment On
I do swear that I'll always be there
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
For better or worse, I will love you
With every beat of my heart
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Girl Right Next To Me
F# B F# B
F# B D# B F# C# B
You changed my face, I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow, cause that's the way it is
You said hello, where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war and I may never be the same again
I made my bed but now I can't sleep at night
cause you toss and you turn and you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say so I'm thinking out loud
And when you dream 17, I ain't there so I don't care
Cause all my dreams, I'm 23, And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
Going over and over and over, the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, I'll run like hell right back to you
Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone
And when you dream 17, I ain't there so I don't care
Cause all my dreams I'm 23, And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik (?)
Transcribed by Corey Brown At BrownCSA@AOL.com
I just taped this from the radio and tried to figure it out. I don^Òt know
how correct it is. It sounds o.k. to play, but any additions would be great.
I think they are using 2 guitars at some points, so these are just the basic
chords I could hear.
The chord progressions over the stansas repeat, so I didn't write all the
chords out. This is my first time writing a song out on the computer so I
hope it's o.k. If you listen to this song, you can hear the changes.

----------------------
Lying here with you, Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see, the smile upon your face
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes, seeing all I need
Everything you are, is everything to me
These are the moments, I know heaven must exist
These are the moments, I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Chorus
I could not ask for more than this love together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered, Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment, is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Chorus
I could not ask for more than the love you give me
'Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more
----------------------------------
And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans that never knew their names
Don't belong to no one that's a shame
You could hide beside me maybe for a while
and I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell em' your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life is more that who we are
You grew up way too fast and now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
and I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I think about you all the time, But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down, and I won't tell em your name
---------------------------
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
Or wonder where you are
You live with all your faults
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah we're gonna let it, slide
Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
It's something I can't change
I'll live around it
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
mmmm slide
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
What you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
What you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May, just slide between them sheets
Upon the bed you never knew
Just slide into my room
Why don't you just slide into my room
And we'll runaway runaway runaway
-------------------
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Title: I'll Be
the strands in your eyes that colour them wonderful
stop me and steal my breath
and emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
never revealing their depth
and tell me that we belong together
dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
and rain falls angry on the tin roof
as we lie awake in my bed
and you're my survival, you're my living proof
my love is alive not dead
and tell me that we belong together
dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
and I dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your..
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
-------------------------------
baby's black balloon makes her fly
i almost fell into that hole in your life
but you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
cause you were the same as me but on your knees
a thousand other boys could never reach you
how could i have been the one
i saw the world spin beneath you
and scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb
coming down the world turned over
angels fall without you there
and i go on as you get colder
or are you someone tonight
you know the lies they've always told you
when the love you never knew
what's the things they've never showed you
that swallowed the light from the sun inside your room
coming down the world turned over
angels fall without you there
and i go on as you get colder
always someone tonight
(interlude)
and there's no time left for losing
when you stand they fall
coming down the world turned over
angels fall without you there
and i go on as you get colder
all because i'm
coming down the years turned over
and angels fall without you there
and i go on now to lead you home and
all because i'm (all because i'm)
i'll become
what you became to me
