Don't you Know!? I can't tell you how to make it Go!...

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself [ myself!]
I ask why, [but in my mind I find]
I can't rely on myself [ myself!]
I ask why, [but in my mind I find]
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
[To what I want when I'm stretched so thin]
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
[To anything watching everything spin]
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself [ myself!]
I ask why, [but in my mind I find]
I can't rely on myself [ myself!]
I ask why, [but in my mind I find]
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
[To what I want when I'm stretched so thin]
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
[To anything watching everything spin]
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think
I've lost so much
I'm so afraid
I'm out of touch
How do you expect
I will know what to do
When all I know
Is what you tell me to

Don't you
[Know!]
I can't tell you how to make it
[Go!]
No matter what I do, how hard I
[Try!]
I can't seem to convince myself
[Why!]
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you
[Know!]
I can't tell you how to make it
[Go!]
No matter what I do, how hard I
[Try!]
I can't seem to convince myself
[Why!]
I'm stuck on the outside

I can't hold on
[To what I want when I'm stretched so thin]
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
[To anything watching everything spin]
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
[To what I want when I'm stretched so thin]
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
[To anything watching everything spin]
With thoughts of failure sinking.

And we were happy... =)


We used to walk along the street
When the porch lights were shining bright
Before I had somewhere to be
Back when we had all night
And we were happy...

I do recall a good while back
We snuck into the circus
You threw your arms around my neck
Back when I deserved it
And we were happy

When it was good baby,
It was good baby
We showed 'um all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy

We used to watch the sun go down
On the boats in the water
That's sorta how I feel right now
And Goodbye's so much harder
'Cause we were happy

When it was good baby,
It was good baby
We showed 'um all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy

Oh, I hate those voices
Telling me I'm not in love anymore
But they don't give me choices
And that's what these tears are for
'Cause we were happy

We were happy...

When it was good baby,
It was good baby
We showed 'um all up
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
And you were gonna marry me
When we were happy

Yeah, we were happy
...we were happy...


We Were Happy - Taylor Swift

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken...

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
Please don't take my sunshine away

Please don't take my sunshine away...


You Are My Sunshine - Carly Simon

The places I go are never there...

When I take a picture of the city it disappears

It's only a photograph the city is gone
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there

Nastalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world
When you touch me

He brought me the air of Paris in a bottle
The record caught the air of London
Nineteen sixty-five Pictures
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there

Nastalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world
When you touch me
When you touch me, when you touch me

You're the last of your kind...

You're the last of your kind, Mona Lisa
With a wink of your eye,
Ya' make it all right
Oh there's more left to life, Mona Lisa
Let me take you along for the ride

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya' won’t ever lose

I been down, I been worse
Mona Lisa
Came in last, came in first
But it all gathers dirt, Mona Lisa
‘Fore ya bathe in the light

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose

Oh ya taught me this much, Mona Lisa
I done set it aside
For when you need the same magic touch
For for when you need remindin’

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose

Only got four hours to learn your manners...

Get down

I'll sleep it off
You don't have to believe no more
Only got four hours
To learn your manners
Never felt so close to you before

Don't you...
Don't get it wrong
I'll have someone to get it done
Only got four hours
To learn your manners
Never felt so close to you before

Long shot
In the name of god
Need a McCartney song
All I want you to know
Is that i won't be here for long
And my heart
My heart is getting sore

Get down
I'll sleep it off
You don't have to believe no more
Only got four hours
To learn your manners
Never felt so close to you before
Only got four hours
To learn your manners
Never felt so close to you before

Long shot
In the name of god
Need a McCartney song
All I want you to know
Is that i won't be here for long
And my heart
My heart is getting sore

My heart is getting sore
My heart is getting sore
My heart is getting sore
My heart is getting sore
My heart is getting sore
My heart is getting sore

I just wanna fix it somehow...


What have I done I wish I could run
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good
Isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions keep making
A mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh, how many times will it take for me
To get it right, to get it right

Can I start again
With my faith shaken
Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser I'll get through this

What can you do when your good
Isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions keep making
A mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh, how many times will it take for me
To get it right

So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send out a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see how much I care

What can you do when your good
Isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions keep making
A mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh, how many times will it take
To get it right, to get it right.

Well, I'm getting older too...


I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older and I'm getting older too
Well...

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older and I'm getting older too
Well, I'm getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
And if you climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
The landslide will bring you down

Another revolution of the sun...

I could be sold an instant
I could be saved in the same
I could live in a lifetime
I could die in a day

I could be fading forever
I could stuck in a groove
I could be constantly changing
Making up all the moves

Oh but nature's a motherless child
Full of creatures both wicked and wild
So we're living illusions, thanksgiving one
A brother who knows what we've done
Another revolution of the sun

I'm a lonely apprentice
To an absentee boss
And no I did not invent this
But I want a hug for the love

And it's a family reunion
For all the daughters and sons
Of the new millennium
Century twenty-one

But nature's a motherless child
Full of creatures both wicked and wild
So we're living illusions, thanksgiving one
A brother who knows what we've done
Another revolution of the sun,
Another revolution of the sun,
Another revolution of the sun...

You bury me alive and all I see is black and cold...

There's no use in crying,
All my tears won't drown my pain,
Free me from your sorrow,
I can't grieve you again.

I watched you let yourself die,
Now it's too late to save you this time.

You bury me alive,
And everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.

All I did was love you,
Now I hate the nightmare you've become,
I can't let you fool me,
I won't need you again.

I watched you let yourself die,
And now it's too late to save you this time.

You bury me alive,
And everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.
You bury me alive,
And everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.

Make me feel this love we used to hold,
All I see is black and cold,
As I try to pull you down to the ground, the ground.

Everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
You're too consumed by all your emptiness inside.

You bury me alive,
And everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.
You bury me alive,
And everybody's gotta breathe somehow,
Don't leave me to die,
Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.

Twenty-four oceans...with twenty-four hearts...

Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries

Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing
"Spirit take me up in arms with you"

And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing
"Spirit take me up in arms with you"

There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong

See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising these

Twenty-four voices
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In twenty-four parts

But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing
"Spirit take me up in arms with you"
You're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh, I am the second man
Oh, oh, I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me

I wanna see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel
For more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing "Spirit take me
Up in arms with you"
And you're raising the dead in me

Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
With twenty-four parts

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing
"Spirit take me up in arms..."
I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not, not copping out

...but the way the way I see it...

I can't make my own decisions or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you
Don't want me you say
That I've been changin that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical just keep
On cramming ideas down my throat

You don't have to believe me but
The way the way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

If God's the game that you're playing
well we must get more acquainted
To be only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion but it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me but
The way the way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

This is the last second chance
I'll point you to the mirror
I'm half as good as it gets
I'll point you to the mirror
I'm on both sides of the fence
I'll point you to the mirror
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it

I know you don't have to believe me but
The way the way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you don't have to believe me but
The way the way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

Take me back to the sea...

Lay down on me

And bring back the stars
Lay down on me
Take me back to the sea

Lay down on me
And bring back the light
Lay down on me
Take me back to the sea

Oh, don´t you waste time
Let them shine
Oh, Shine on me
Oh, Don´t you waste time
Let them shine on me

Lay down on me
And bring back the stars
Lay down on me
Take me back to the sea

Oh, don´t you waste time
Let them shine
Oh, Shine on me
Oh, Don´t you waste time
Let them shine on me

Lay down on me
Let them shine where they used to be
Let them shine where they used to be

And the moons never seen me before...

Now that I’ve worn out, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moons never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light

I wrode the pain down
Got off and looked up
Looked into your eyes
The lost open windows
All around
My dark heart lit up the skies

Now that I’ve worn, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moons never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light

Give up the ground
Under your feet
Hold on to nothing for good
Turn and run at the mean times
Chasing you
Stand alone and misunderstood

Now that I’ve worn, I’ve worn out the world
I’m on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moons never seen me before
But I’m reflecting light

It's your messed up family tree...

You didn't ask for this
Nobody ever would
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
It's your sad reality
It's your messed up family tree
And all your left with all these questions

Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?

No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

I have a dream for you
It's better than where you've been
It's bigger than your imagination
You're gonna find real love
And you're gonna hold your kids
You'll change the course of generations

No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

Cause you're my child
You're my chosen
You are loved
You are loved
And I will restore
All that was broken
You are loved
You are loved

Just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes, you are
You are

Oh, this will be your legacy
This will be your destiny
Yesterday did not define you
Oh, this will be your legacy
This will be your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
