I Don't Mind

I run my fingers through your hair
And you close your eyes
I can't help but get the feeling
You're covering up inside

We have to talk this through
I've left myself exposed
And if you shut me out I'll never forgive myself
I'll never go back down this road

I don't mind if you want to cut the cord
Try to breathe on your own
I don't mind
I don't mind if you want to be with someone other than me
I don't mind
I don't mind I can make it all alone

I toss and turn in my sleep
I pretend there's nothing wrong
Just to give you another chance
But you've had chances all along

Don't try to pin this all on me
It's easier for you
I'm running out of patience
And I can sense that you are too

I don't mind if you want to cut the cord
Try to breathe on your own
I don't mind
I don't mind if you want to be with someone other than me
I don't mind
I don't mind I can make it all alone

When you don't pick up the phone
I wonder if you're sleeping alone
When you don't pick up the phone
I wonder if you're sleeping alone

I don't mind if you want to cut the cord
Try to breathe on your own
I don't mind
I don't mind if you want to be with someone other than me
I don't mind
I don't mind if you want to cut the cord
Try to breathe on your own
I don't mind
I don't mind I can make it alone
I can make it all alone

Fate

I wake up I think I'm alone
But I don't remember where I am
It doesn't feel familiar
It's hard to find a friend
I think I've really done it this time

It's in my blood it's in the air
It's in my head it's everywhere
We've come here to try and separate
Ourselves to try and change our fate

The faces voices of my past
Twenty years till we meet again
Where have you been
What have you done
Now pass the torch cause you're the one
I've scared myself into thinking

It's in my blood it's in the air
It's in my head it's everywhere
We've come here to try and separate
Ourselves to try and change our fate

I know so much of you is in me
Somehow I've learned what you have never taught me

It's in my blood it's in the air
It's in my head it's everywhere
We've come here to try and separate
Ourselves to try and change our fate
We've come here to try and separate
Ourselves to try and change our fate
Ourselves to try and change our fate
Ourselves to try and change our fate
Ourselves to try and change our fate
Ourselves to try and change our fate

Ring

I wake up holding my pillow
But it doesn't have the love that I need
I can't feel your breath against my face
Can't feel your arms around me

This doesn't need to happen
I'll go for help I'll try anything
Cause nothing I do matters
Unless you wear my ring

I get up and put on my sweater
But it doesn't have the warmth that I need
I never felt so empty inside
So I try to fill it up with nicotine

This doesn't need to happen
I'll go for help I'll try anything
Cause nothing I do matters
Unless you wear my ring

I get up and look through some pictures
But they don't have the heart I need
If this is how life will be without you
I don't want any part of it
I don't want any part of it

No, this doesn't need to happen
I'll go for help I'll try anything
Cause nothing I do matters
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring

This doesn't need to happen
I'll go for help I'll try anything
Cause nothing I do matters
Unless you wear
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring
Unless you wear my ring

I found a paper in my pocket
I'm starting to forget again
Paint me an alabaster rocket
So I remember where I've been

I want to save you from this
I want to make it better
I want to wake you from this nightmare that you're living
I want to find a safe abyss
That's deeper than this sorrow
That's wider than the nothing that you think you're living

You tapped your finger on the bottle
As you made circles around the room
Your words drip desperation, spiritual starvation
As the light above you begins to dim

I want to save you from this
I want to make it better
I want to wake you from this nightmare that you're living
I want to find a safe abyss
That's deeper than this sorrow
That's wider than the nothing that you think you're living

I found your picture in the paper
Your face looked like yesterday's news
A rubber band around my finger
So I can feel the bruise

I want to save you from this
I want to make it better
I want to wake you from this nightmare that you're living
I want to find a safe abyss
That's deeper than this sorrow
That's wider than the nothing that you think you're living

I want to slap you in the face
I want to make it go away
I want to wake you from this nightmare that you're living
I want to find a safe abyss
That's deeper than this sorrow
That's wider than the nothing that you think you're living
That you think you're living
That you think you're living
That you think you're living

Simply

No I never thought I'd be so complete
No I never thought I'd find the other half of me
And a thousand mile an hour wind
Could never move me from this place
I've grown roots into the ground right next to you

I am simply in love with you

No I never thought I'd be strong enough for this weight
So you took my hand and distributed it evenly
And our fingers interlocking will be stronger than
The sturdiest gate
Keeping negativity and any enemies out of our way

I am simply in love with you

When the clouds are forming and rain is imminent
And the chill is too cold for my weary bones to take
It's okay, cause I'm coming home to you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you
I am simply in love with you

Elizabeth

Elizabeth lives in paradise
And she drives a fancy car
She's arrogant but she's always nice
If she remembers who you are
And she's pretty like a dream
And she'll always cause a scene
It's a pity she's such a bore

Her friends are high society
They're socialites one and all
Never known for their proprieties
They can make you feel so small
And they'll wear you down to dust
Leave you riddled with mistrust
And they'll tell you you're just a bore

When I met her she was crying
She said she's sick of all this lying
She said inside she thinks she's dying
And she probably feels like trying

She drinks from crystal chalices
And she tastes the sweetest men
And she'll leave her crystal palaces
For the salty ones now and then
And she'll let them stay the night
And she'll keep them close in sight
Till they tell her she's just a bore
She's a bore
She's a bore
She's a bore
She's a bore
She's a bore
She's a

Friend

You're in need of a friend
To take you in and help you mend
Your thoughts and insecurities
It's okay to cry in my arms
I'll stroke your hair while you sleep
I'll be there when you are lonely
I'm your friend

Just relax while I pour the wine
Let your mind unravel and unwind
A moment to let the calm set in
No need for apprehension
Just a touch to ease your tension
Take it now my hand's extended
I'm your friend

How can we change what we feel
How can we change what's inside

Just blow the candles out and put your trust in me
An invitation to give you what you need

It's okay to cry in my arms
I'll stroke your hair while you sleep
I'll be there when you are lonely
No need for apprehension
Just a touch to ease your tension
Take it now my hand's extended
I'm your friend
I'm your friend
I'm your friend
I'm your friend

8 O'Clock Again

It's 8 o'clock again the second time today
Get the water wash it down wash it away
I got this second chance to get back in the race
Take it slow and steady - wear a happy face

Follow me
See if I
See if I fall

I don't know where I will land this time

I don't know where I'm gonna land
Where I'm gonna land this time
I don't look down
I just jump and close my eyes

Here we go again is what I hear you say
You gotta realize I take it day by day
And if you close your eyes I just won't go away
If you stick by me I just might be okay

Follow me
See if I
See if I fall

I don't know where I will land this time

I don't know where I'm gonna land
Where I'm gonna land this time
I don't look dow
I just jump and close my eyes

I don't know where I will land this time

I don't know where I'm gonna land
Where I'm gonna land this time
I don't look down
I just jump and close my eyes
Close my eyes

I don't know where I'm gonna land
Where I'm gonna land this time

Crowded Room

I keep a picture of you
Up front in my mind
At times it interferes with things I need to do but
Your face is perfect
A perfect portrait
Of everything I've ever wanted in a person
It's a shame that you don't know it
That I'm so shy

You probably never said my name out loud
And I wish you could pick me out in a crowded room
It's just a dream that I have
Even though you don't even know my face

Today
But that's today and not tomorrow so I will
Keep on hoping
I'll keep on waiting
But for today I'm just a figure in the background
You don't know how I shine
And I hope the day will come when I will breathe in you
You'll lean in me

And you'll call my name out loud
And you'll see me from across the room
You'll grab my hand
Say, “She's with me”
And we'll be standing face to face

But not today
And I can't wait much longer
I can't wait much more

So I'll keep on holding my pillow at night
And I'll keep on closing my eyes real tight
And I'll keep on pursing my lips at the sight of you
And I'll keep pretending you're here
And I'll wear my best dress
And I'll wear my sweetest perfume
Just in case I see you
In a crowded room

Overdrawn

I think it's kind of nice that I think
You're my everything
I hope that someday I can be
Somebody's everything
Somebody's anything

I wish you'd try to understand
Matters of my heart can't be explained
In numbers, facts, and diagrams
Numbers, facts, and diagrams

I can't have this fight again
I'm running out of words for you
I'm running out of things to do
I'm overdrawn on my emotional account
Maybe we can work it out
It's your call this time

I saw the writing on the wall
I got so drunk last night
It wasn't my fault
It wasn't my fault at all

I think I just explained it all
I'm running out of words for you
I'm running out of things to do
I'm overdrawn on my emotional account
Maybe we can work it out
It's your call this time

I think I just explained it all
I'm overdrawn on my emotional account
Maybe we can work it out
It's your call this time
I'm overdrawn on my emotional account
Maybe we can work it out
It's your call this time
