Angel
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Black And White
unravel me
distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
constantly
to get along
and the animal awakens
and all i feel is black and white
the road is long
memories slight
to the hole in my undoing
put aside
i put away
i push it back
and get through each day
and all i feel is black and white
and i'm wound up small and tight
and i don't know who i am
everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so don't dissappoint them
unravel me
untie this cord
the very center of our union
it's caving in
i can't endure
i am the archive of our failure
and all i feel is black and white
and i'm wound up small and tight
and i don't know who i am
everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so don't dissappoint them
dobidobidobidobidobidobidodobaba
dobidobidobidobidobidobidodobababa...
dobidobidobidobidobidobidodobababa...
dobidobidobidobidobidobidodobabai...
everybody loves you when you're easy
so don't dissappoint them.....
Full Of Grace
the winter here is cold and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
too long too far from home
i feel just like i'm sinking
and i claw for solid ground
i'm pulled down by the undertow
i never thought i could feel so low
with all the darkness
i feel like letting go
if all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
i know i can love you much better than this
full of grace
it's better this way i say
haven't seen this place before
where everything we say and do
hurts us all the more
it's just that we stay too long
in the same old sickly skin
i'm pulled down by the undertow
i never thought i could feel so low
in all the darkness
i feel like letting go
if all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
i know i can love you much better than this
full of grace
i know i can love you much better than this
it's better this way
Good Enough
Hey your glass is empty,
it's a hell of a long way home,
Why don't you let me take you,
it's no good to go alone,
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me,
After all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see,
I don't have to pretend,
she doesn't expect it from me
So don't tell me I
haven't been good to you,
Don't tell me I
haven't been there for you
Just tell me why
nothing is good enough
Hey little girl would you like some candy,
your momma said that it's o.k.,
The door is open come on outside,
no I can't come out today,
It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground,
Who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone,
You know I don't understand,
you deserve so much more than this
So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you,
Don't tell me why
he's never been there for you,
And I'll tell you that why
is simply not good enough,
So just let me try
and I will be good to you
Just let me try
and I will be there for you,
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough
Hold On
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell.
Hold on Hold on to yourself.
You know that only time can tell
what is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing.
My love
you know that you're my best friend.
You know that I'd do anything for you
and my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true.
Am I in heaven here or
am I...
At the crossroads I am standing.
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow
and will see another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face.
Oh God
if you're out there won't you hear me.
I know we've never talked before
and oh God
the man I love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes to your door.
Am I in heaven here or
am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing.
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow
and we will see another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face
Hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell.
Ice Cream
Your love
is better than ice cream.
Better than anything else that I've tried
and your love
is better than ice cream
everyone here know how to fight
and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way
down to the place where we started from.
Your love
is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
and oh love is better than chocolate.
Everyone here knows how to cry
and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way
down to the place where we started from.
I Love You
i have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
we meet at the lights
i stare for a while
the world around us dissappears
it's just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
let me surround you
a sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
oh, and every time
i'm close to you
there's too much i can't say
and you just walk away
and i forgot
to tell you i love you
and the night's too long
and cold here without you
i grieve in my condition
for i cannot find the words to say
i need you so
oh, and every time
i'm close to you
there's too much i can't say
and you just walk away
and i forgot
to tell you i love you
and the night's too long
and cold here without you
i grieve in my condition
for i cannot find the words to say
i need you so
Possession
Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide,
Voices trapped in yearning,
memories trapped in time,
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide,
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied,
And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
to find the truth enslaved,
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath,
you words keep me alive,
And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander,
it's morning that I dread,
Another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread,
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride,
Nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied,
And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear...
You Do What You Have To Do
what ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rule of love
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
i had the sense to recognize
that i don't know how to let you go
every moment marked with apparitions of your soul
however swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
i do what i have to do
the yearning to be near you
i do what i have to do
and i had the sense to recognize
that i don't know how to let you go
i don't know how to let you go
a glowing ember
burning hot
and burning slow
deeper than i'm shaken
by the violence of existing
for only you
i know i can't be with you
i do what i have to do
i know i can't be with you
i do what i have to do
and i have the sense to recognize
but i don't know how to let you go
i don't know how to let you go |
