She said this talkin'
Just kinda wears me out
And all these salesmen
Baby make me tired
They're no good
But tell you the truth she said
I've been gett...

This year, all but disappeared,
Bought into fairy tales,
But sleeping beauty just
Kept score and tried to sleep more
She said "I'm not quite, myself t...

Come on down to the bottom of the sea
Come on down here
There's room right next to me
I'm tired of getting even
Let's get odd odd, baby
And live life ...

This bed is on fire with passion and love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like ...

Oh princess, you make the party
With your hands in your pockets
And your innocent eyes and all those things
Running around in your head
Oh princess, y...

I got your letter this morning, got your letter alright
It claimed clarity, but came in screamingand
I was soaked clean through
How could we ever let ...

Hold me, and save me from my self.
I claim to be so righteous,
but I'm just like everyone else.
I was judging you,
and I realized just how big a lie I...

I am held together by clothes pins and tension,a wealth of odds and ends
I'm dazzling so dazzling like the neon street signhiccuping off and on again ...

This time
I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out here on the sea
Just my confidence and me
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to m...

I tried to come down from you
I tried with your voice in my head
Knockin' me back, every inch
I movedI'm a sucker for a good lie
The way you say, "You...

I'm wide awake and so alive
Ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise
And not someplace I fell
'Cause I keep on fallin' down

I wanna feel the car ...

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could wal...

Love,
I'm aching to believe
give me something real enough
give me somewhere to fall from

'cause in the dark
I can't find my feet

she don't lie in bed at night
staring at the ceiling
she don't wait to begin

she bets on long shots
she wants what they've got
she skates where the i...

I tasted, tasted love so sweet
and all of it was lost on me
sugar on my tongue

I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing

Mission Bells -Matt Nathanson
I had a dream you died
And I just wanna be with you tonight
Mission bells were ringing somewhere higher
I let you get aw...

Half read books, and bold declarations.
There was so much I didn't believe in
And then, there was you.
You made me brave,
You made me stupid
Gave me t...

And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence

Dashing through the snow
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Cinderella's gone to New York City
Wants to shave her hair and disappear
18 years of never feeling pretty18
Says she's finally thinking clear
Ain't to...

I'd never fall in love with someone else again
If I could only taste your lips and this adrenaline
I'd never leave here, never leave your bed
I forgot...

Last flare from the lifeboat
Last air in my lungs
By now even I know that you've got someone
Some can only see the flaws
We made perfect little movies...

And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
