Flaws and All by Beyonce

 

I'm a puzzle yes indeed

Ever complex in every way

And all the pieces aren't even in the box

And yet you see the picture clear as day

---

I neglect you when I'm working

When I need attention I tend to nag

I'm a host of imperfection

And you see past all that

 

I'm a peasant by some standards

But in your eyes I'm a queen

You see potential in all my flaws

And that's exactly what I mean

 

I don't know why you love me

And that's why I love you

You catch me when I fall

Accept me, flaws and all

And that's why I love you

STOP AND STARE

one republic

 

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands, just take the wheel...

And every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

 

 

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can u see what I see

 

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push

Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...

Steady feet, don't fail me now

Gonna run till you can't walk

But something pulls my focus out

And I'm standing down...

 

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, you don't need

 

What u need, what u need...

 

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be

Oh, do u see what I see...

Heartbreak Warfare

John Mayer

 

 

Lightning strikes

Inside, my chest to keep me up at night

Dream of ways

To make you understand my pain

 

Clouds of sulfur in the air

Bombs are falling everywhere

It's heartbreak warfare

Once you want it to begin,

No one really every wins

In heartbreak warfare

 

If you want more love,

why don't you say so?

If you want more love,

why don't you say so?

 

Drop his name

Push it in and twist the knife again

Watch my face

As I pretend to feel no pain

 

Clouds of sulfur in the air

Bombs are falling everywhere

It's heartbreak warfare

Once you want it to begin,

No one really ever wins

In heartbreak warfare.

 

If you want more love,

why don't you say so?

If you want more love,

why don't you say so?

 

Just say so...

 

How come the only way to know how high you get me

is to see how far I fall

God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me

but I can't break through it all.

 

It's a heartbreak...

 

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight

Let's just fix this whole thing now

I swear to God we're gonna get it right

If you put your weapons down

Red wine and Ambien

You're talking s@%t again, it's heartbreak warfare

Good to know it's all a game

Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak warfare.

I'm Gonna Find Another You - John Mayer

 

It's really over, you made your stand

You got me crying, as was your plan

But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you

 

You take your sweaters

You take your time

You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes

I'm gonna sing my way away from blue

I'm gonna find another you

 

When I was your lover

No one else would do

If I'm forced to find another, I hope she looks like you

Yeah and she's nicer too

 

So go on baby

Make your little get away

My pride will keep me company

And you just gave yours all away

Now I'm gonna dress myself for two

Once for me and once for someone new

I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do

Oh I'm gonna find another you

Can you tell me

How can one miss what she's never had

How could I reminisce when there is no past

How could I have memories of being happy with you boy

Could someone tell me how can this be

How could my mind pull up incidents

Recall dates and times that never happened

How could we celebrate a love that's to late

And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say

 

 

I missed the times that we almost shared

I miss the love that was almost there

I miss the times that we use to kiss

At least in my dreams

Just let me take my time and reminisce

I miss the times that we never had

What happened to us we were almost there

Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had

Never almost had you

 

 

I cannot believe I let you go

Or what I should say I should've grabbed you up and never let you go

I should've went out with you

I should've made you my boo boy

Yes that's one time I should've broke the rules

I should've went on a date

Should've found a way to escape

Should've turned a almost into

If it happened now its to late

How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real

And if it didn't happen why does my heart feel

 

 

I missed the times that we almost shared

I miss the love that was almost there

I miss the times that we use to kiss

At least in my dreams

Just let me take my time and reminisce

I miss the times that we never had

What happened to us we were almost there

Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had

Never almost had you

 

 

(sometimes I wanna rub ya, some nights I wanna hug ya)

And you seem to be the perfect one for me

You (some nights I wanna touch ya but tonight I wanna love ya)

You're all that I ever wanted

And you're my everything yes its true

Boy its hard to be close to you

My love

I know it may sound crazy

But I'm in love with you

 

 

I missed the times that we almost shared

I miss the love that was almost there

I miss the times that we use to kiss

At least in my dreams

Just let me take my time and reminisce

I miss the times that we never had

What happened to us we were almost there

Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had

Never almost had you

 

I missed the times that we almost shared

I miss the love that was almost there (sometimes I wanna rub ya)

I miss the times that we use to kiss

At least in my dreams

Just let me take my time and reminisce (but tonight I wanna love ya)

I miss the times that we never had

What happened to us we were almost there

Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had

Never, never almost had you (but tonight I wanna love ya)

Assasin

John Mayer

 

I work in the dead of night

When the roads are quiet

No one is around

To track my moves

 

Race in the end of lights

To find the gate is open

She's waiting in the room

I just slip on through

 

You get in

You get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace or show your face

You get gone

 

Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

 

Enter the morning light

To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine

In a little white room

No, I'm not alone

Her head is heavy on me

She's sleeping like a child

What could I do?

 

You get in

You get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace or show your face

You get gone

 

Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

 

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

 

Suddenly I'm in over my head and I could hardly breathe

Suddently I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything

Suddently I know exactly what I did, but I cannot move a thing

Suddently I know exactly what I'd done and what it's gonna mean to me,

mean to me

I'm gone

 

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

 

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin and she had a job to do

Back To You

John Mayer

 

back to you

it always comes around

back to you

I tried to forget you

I tried to stay away

But it's too late

 

over you

I'm never over

over you

there's something about you

It's just the way you move

the way you move me

Yea, I'm so good at forgetting

and I quit every game I play

but forgive me love

I can't turn and walk away(this way)

 

back to you

it always comes around

back to you

I walk with your shadow

I'm sleeping in my bed

with your silhouette

 

should have smiled in that picture

if it's the last that I'll see of you

it's the least that you could not do

 

leave the light on

I'll never give up on you

leave the light on

for me too

 

back to me

I know that it comes

back to me

doesn't it scare you

your will is not as strong

as it used to be

"Dying" - Five for Fighting

 

I'm Dying, Dying to wake up without you, without you in my head again

I'm Dying, Dying to forget about you, that you ever lived

There's a shade come over this heart that's coping with laying down to rest

I'm Dying to live without you again

 

I'm Dying, Dying to find a distraction, get you away from me

I'm Dying, Dying to reach a conclusion, so that the world can see

It's the same old story of love and glory that broke before it bent

I'm Dying to live without you again

 

The first time you left I said goodbye

Now there's not a prayer that can survive

 

Dying, Dying to die just to come back so we can meet again

Dying, Dying to say what I always should have said

It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this

As long as there's a breath...

I'm Dying and I can't live without you again

 

It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this

As long as there's a breath...

 

I'm Dying and I can't live without you

I'm Dying and I can't live without you again

Magdalena - A Perfect Circle

 

Overcome by your moving temple

Overcome by this holiest of altars

 

So pure, so rare

To witness such an earthly goddess

That I’ve lost my self control

Beyond compelled to throw this dollar

Down before your holiest of altars

 

I’d sell my soul,

My self-esteem a dollar at a time

 

For one chance, one kiss,

One taste of you my Magdalena

 

I bear witness to this place,

This prayer, so long forgotten

So pure, so rare

To witness such an earthly goddess

 

That I’d sell my soul,

My self-esteem a dollar at a time

For one chance, one kiss,

One taste of you my black Madonna

 

I’d sell my soul,

My self-esteem a dollar at a time

 

One taste, one taste,

one taste of you my Magdalena

Tell Me Where it Hurts - Garbage

 

What is my day going to look like

What will tomorrow bring me

If I had x-ray eyes, I could see inside

I wouldn’t have to predict the future

I wish that you would do some talking

Or else how am I to know what you’re thinking

If only people would say what it really was

What it really was

What it really was that they wanted

 

 

Tell me where it hurts

to hell with everybody else

All I care about is you and that’s the truth

They don’t love me, I can tell

But you do, so they can go to hell

 

Did they ever give you a reason

To believe in something different

If you’re looking for love, for what’s worth

I have plenty of it lying around here somewhere

If you are looking for a disappointment

You can find it around any corner

In the middle of the night I hold on to you tight

So both of us can feel protected

 

 

Tell me where it hurts,

to hell with everybody else.

All I care about is you and that’s the truth

they don’t love me, yeah I can tell

but you do, so they can go to hell

 

I’ve been loved but I didn’t know how to feel it

And I’ve been adored but I don’t know if I ever believed it

I’ve been loved my whole life but I didn’t know how to take it

Until…..

 

So tell me where it hurts

to hell with everybody else

All I care about is you and that’s the truth

they don’t love me, yeah I can tell

But you do, so they can go to hell

 

But you do, so they can go to hell

 

Tell me where it hurts

 

Tell me where it hurts now

 

Tell me where it hurts

Amber by 311

 

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

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

Panahon

by: Juan Dela Cruz

 

 

Masdan mo ang mga ulap

Balikan mo ang iyong ala-ala

Mga araw na lumipas sa iyong buhay

Malalaman mo kung papaano liligaya sa buhay

Pagdating ng panahon.

 

Naalala mo pa ba ang iyong kahapon

Hinahanap mo ang landas

Mga pangarap gusto mong maabot, ngunit ikaw ay natatakot

Daylight licked me into shape

I must have been asleep for days

And moving lips to breathe her name

I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone alone

Alone above a raging sea

That stole the only girl I loved

And drowned her deep inside of me

She Loves Me - James Ingram

My love she makes no demands

She waits for me with open hands

She understands

My love gives me all I need

She understands the fears in me

And when I'm down

You know she cries

her tears for me

'Cause she loves me

Don't know what she sees in me

She loves me

I'll follow where she leads

She makes me

The best that I can be

She loves September by the sea

Candle light and cold Chablis

Those little things

never meant that

much to me

'Cause she loves me

Don't know what she sees in me

She loves me

I'll follow where she leads

She makes me

The best that I can be

I was a lonely man

I never, never understood

I never realized that it

could be so good

'Cause she loves me

Don't know what she sees in me

She loves me

I'll follow where she leads

She makes me

The best that I can be

"A DREAM COME TRUE"

OWN COMPOSITION (WITH COPYRIGHT)

 

Has anyone made you a poem

That brightens up your day

Did anyone sang you a song

That colors a life so gray

 

Did someone said you're beautiful

And you completes his life

Or have you ever been so in loved

That you forgot your time passed by

 

REFRAIN I

Well I did, I do

You made my dream come true

I've left my life that's blue

And It's all because of you

 

CHORUS

You showered up my life

You gave me strength to stand on my own

You gave me wings to fly

You're always here so I won't feel I'm alone

You came here to stay

You're bringing brightness to my days

what I meant to say

Is that you made a dream come true

 

When you came into my life

What a joy you bring

Your face is like the lyrics of my dream

That my heart could sing

 

You're the inspiration that I've found

You're my sweetest memory

And when you lived your life with me

My fantasy came reality

 

REFRAIN II

'Cause I did, I do

You're my dream come true

In this life I knew

That our love will guide us through

 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

 

BRIDGE

Today, tomorrow, and forever

Our love will be as sweet as ever

You and I will love each other, honey

No more tears, regret will never be

As long as we're together

Nothing's gonna stand between as, baby

Ohh...

 

(REPEAT CHORUS except LAST LINE)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

 

oh, what I meant to say

Is that you made a dream come true

And what I meant to say....

Is that you made a dream come true

IMPOSIBLE

Akala mo hindi ko kaya

Ang iwanan at limutin ka

Akala mo, akala ko

Akala nating dalawa

Tayong dalawa.

Eto ka na naman

Walang alam, walang pakialam

Di mo ba nakikita

Sa 'king mga mata

Hindi ako nasasaktan

Hindi kita kinakailangan

Hindi ako nagdaramdam

IMPOSIBLE!

Pag- ibig mo'y limot ko na

Hindi kita inaalala

Hindi na 'ko aasa pa

IMPOSIBLE!

 

Ang labo mo naman kausap

Di mo pa ba nakukuha

Hoy, naririnig mo ba ako

Pakiusap, pakiusap naman

Wag ka nang magtanong

Pakinggan mo na lang itong binubulong

Ng puso ko sa puso mo

At hindi itong sinasabi ko woahhh...

Hindi ako nasasaktan

Hindi kita kinakailangan

Hindi ako nagdaramdam

IMPOSIBLE!

Pag- ibig mo'y limot ko na

Hindi kita inaalala

Hindi na 'ko aasa pa

IMPOSIBLE!

 

Mangyari 'yan

Hinding hindi, hindi mo ba alam

Tanging ikaw lang sa puso ko

Sa isip at gunita ko

 

Hindi ako nasasaktan

Hindi kita kinakailangan

Hindi ako nagdaramdam

IMPOSIBLE!

Pilitin mang limutin ka

Ngunit Hinding hindi magawa

Paano nga ba magawa

Ang IMPOSIBLE...

IMPOSIBLE...

A Play on MC's Breakdown

 

[right SIDE OF THE BRAIN]

Well, I guess I'm trying to be

Nonchalant about it

And I'm going to extremes to prove

I'm fine without you

But in reality, I'm slowly losing my mind

Underneath a disguise of a smile

Gradually, I'm dying inside

 

Friends ask me how I feel

And I lie convincingly

'Cause I don't want to reveal

The fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise

Till I go home at night

And turn down all the lights

And then I break down and cry

 

So what do you do

When somebody you're so devoted to

Suddenly just stops loving you

And it seems they haven't got a clue

Of the pain that rejection is putting you through

Do you cling to your pride

And sing "I Will Survive"

Do you lash out and say

"How dare you leave this way"?

Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

 

Breakdown

 

[left SIDE OF THE BRAIN]

It'll break ya down

Only if you let it

Everyday, crazy situation's rockin' my mind

Tryin' to break me down

But I won't let it (forget it)

 

I been feelin' like you breakin' me down

Kickin' me round, stressin' me out

I think I better go and get out

And let me relieve some stress

Don't ever wanna feel no pain, pain

Hopin' for the sun but it looks like rain, rain, rain

Lord, I just will not maintain

 

Oh yeah, often feel the pressures y'all

But never the less crazy won't fall

It's over, it's endin' here

SAMSON by Regina Spektor

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

I have to go, I have to go

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed

And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

 

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

But they're just old light, they're just old light

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

Oh I cut his hair myself one night

A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

And he told me that I'd done alright

And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light

And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed

Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down

Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one

And history books forgot about us

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

 

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first

F*ck You - Lily Allen

 

Look inside,

Look inside your tiny mind

Now look a bit harder

Cause we're so uninspired,

so sick and tired of all the

hatred you harbor

 

So you say

It's not okay to be gay

Well I think you're just evil

You're just some racist who

can't tie my laces

Your point of view is medieval

 

F*ck you (F*ck you)

F*ck you very, very much

Cause we hate what you do

And we hate your whole crew

So please don't stay in touch

 

F*ck you (F*ck You)

F*ck you very, very much

Cause your words don't translate

And it's getting quite late

So please don't stay in touch

 

Do you get,

Do you get a little kick out of

being small minded?

You want to be like your father

It's approval your after

Well that's not how you find it

 

Do you,

Do you really enjoy living a

life that's so hateful?

Cause there's a hole where

your soul should be

Your losing control of it and

it's really distasteful

 

Look inside,

Look inside your tiny mind

Now look a bit harder

Cause we're so uninspired,

so sick and tired of all the

hatred you harbor

YOU BELONG WITH ME

 

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's going off about something that you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

 

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do

 

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

 

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You, you belong with me, you belong with me

 

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey, isn't this easy?

 

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

You say you're fine, I know you better than that

Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

 

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

 

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

 

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know?

Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

 

Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry

And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

 

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

 

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time, how could you not know?

Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

 

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me?

You belong with me

No Love

Eminem feat. Lil Wayne

 

[Verse 1 - Lil Wayne]

Throw dirt on me and grow a wildflower

But it's "f u c k the world", get a child out her

Yeah, my life a b i t c h, but you know nothing bout her

Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers

I'm rolling Sweets, I'm smoking sour

Married to the game but she broke her vows

That's why my bars are full of broken bottles

And my night stands are full of open Bibles

I think about more than I forget

But I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat

And these ni g g gaz know I lay them down, make their bed

B i t ches try to kick me while I'm down: I'll break your leg

Money outweighing problems on the triple beam

I'm sticking to the script, you ni g g az skipping scenes

Be good or be good at it

F u c k ing right I've got my gun, semi-Cartermatic

Yeah, put a dick in their mouth, so I guess it's "f u c k what they say"

I'm high as a b i t ch: up, up and away

Man, I come down in a couple of days

OK, you want me up in the cage, then I'll come out in beast mode

I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the G-code

It's Weezy motherf u c ker, blood gang and I'm in bleed mode

All about my dough but I don't even check the peephole

So you can keep knocking but won't knock me down

No love lost, no love found

 

[Hook - Eminem & Lil Wayne]

It's a little too late to say that you're sorry now

You kicked me when I was down

F u c k what you say, just (don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more)

That's right b i t c h: and I don't need you, don't want to see you

Bitch you get (no love)

You show me nothing but hate

You ran me into the ground

But what comes around goes around

I don't need you (don't hurt me)

You (don't hurt me no more)

That's right, and I don't need you, don't want to see you

You get (no love)

B i t c h you get (no love)

And I don't need you

Get em

 

[Verse 2 - Eminem]

I'm alive again

More alive than I have been in my whole entire life

I can see these people's ears perk up as I begin

To spaz with the pen, I'm a little bit sicker than most

s h i t's finna get thick again

They say the competition is stiff

But I get a hard dick from this s h i t, now stick it in

I ain't never giving in again

Cuss into the wind, complete freedom

Look at these rappers, how I treat them

So why the f u c k would I join them when I beat them

They call me a freak because

I like to spit on these pussies fore I eat them

Man get these whack cocksuckers off stage

Where the f u c k is Kanye when you need him?

Snatch the mic from him, bitch I'mma let you finish in a minute

Yeah the rap is tight

But I'm f u c k ing with the greatest verse of all time

So you might want to go back to the lab tonight and um

Scribble out them rhymes you were going to spit

And start over from scratch and write new ones

But I'm afraid that it ain't gonna make no difference

When I rip this stage and tear it in half tonight

It's an adrenaline rush to feel the bass thump

In the place all the way to the parking lot, fellow

Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd

You can see the sparks from hot metal

Cold-hearted from the day I Bogarted the game

I so started to rock fellow

When I'm not even in my harshest

You can still get roasted because Marsh is not mellow

Til I'm toppling from the top I'm not going to stop

I'm standing on my Monopoly board

That means I'm on top of my game and it don't stop

Til my hip don't hop anymore

When you so good that you can't say it

Because it ain't even cool for you to sound cocky anymore

People just get sick cause you spit

These fools can't drool or dribble a drop anymore

And you can never break my stride

You never slow the momentum at any moment I'm about to blow

You'll never take my pride

Killing the flow, slow venom and the opponent

Is getting no mercy, mark my words

Ain't letting up, relentless

I smell blood, I don't give a f u c k: keep giving them hell

Where was you when I fell and needed help up?

You get no love

September

Songwriters: Daughtry, Chris; Steely, Josh; How the time passed away, all the trouble that we gave

And all those days we spent out by the lake

Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made

One by one they vanish just the same

 

Of all the things I still remember

Summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

 

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

 

Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear

So we made our way by finding what was real

Now the days are so long that summer's moving on

We reach for something that's already gone, yeah

 

Of all the things I still remember

Summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

 

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

 

We knew we had to leave this town

But we never knew when and we never knew how

We would end up here the way we are

Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town

But we never knew when and we never knew how

 

Of all the things I still remember

Summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

 

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

"Red Water"

Rehab

 

When I was twelve, while checking the mail

I was admiring the car of the man next door

And thinking to myself, man, one of these days

I'm gonna have me a house like that with a big, red door

And his yard was mowed, and his grass was green

And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly

I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son

I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on

 

[Hook:]

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water

The first and the last time he ever relaxed

And they said, he had a smile on his face

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said

One more thing to say

 

I was watching TV, having one of mom's famous rice crispy treats

Watching Tom and Jerry, I heard a car horn beep

I ran to the window, his wife and son were home

With bags of stuff they had got at the mall

I went in my room and got my glove and ball

I leapt off the stairs, and asked his son could he play

And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son I guess it'll be okay

And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house

When I realized I forgot my hat, I said I'll be back and turned around

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water

The first and the last time he ever relaxed

And they said, he had a smile on his face

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said

One more thing to say

There was screaming and there was crying

There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin

And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day

His wife was talking to an officer

Through the noise I heard her say

 

[Hook:]

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water

The first and the last time he ever relaxed

And they said, he had a smile on his face

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said

I got one more thing to say
