Feel Blue
01:31
|
|
||
I never loved you
In fact I hated you in time
But you were there when I was nursing my own shattered heart
And I let myself believe you were the right person for me
But you were wrong for me in every conceivable way
You were arrogant and vain, you took advantage of my pain
We hurt each other, and though I never really liked you,
No one deserves to be lied to.
Now when I feel blue, I think of you, I think of you, I think of you, I think of you.
Now when I feel blue, I think of you, I think of you, I think of you, I think of you.
Now when I feel blue, I think of you, I think of you, and all I hope is that the thought of me makes you blue too.

So Happy
02:15
|
|||
Don't you get tired of being so happy all the time?
You're so happy it brings me down.
When you were mine, I was just a little ray of sunshine.
Now I'd much rather cry than go outside
Cus sometimes the world feels like it's all pitted against me
And then and again, I still try.
I get so tired of writing love songs
I want a song so sad it makes me happy
But what can I say to make you rue the day you left me?
I sound so mean, and I don't even mean it
But sometimes my words feel like they're all pitted against me
And then and again I still try.
But sometimes the world feels like it's all pitted against me
And then and again I still try.

Help Me Hate You
03:14
|
|
||
I know you wanna play pretend like we're still friends, and it's hard to tell you no.
I know you never wronged me, all you did was go.
And there's nothing I can tell you without breaking right in two
And there's nothing you can do for me, so help me hate you.
Maybe in another life we could have tried and made it right,
and I know no one's to blame, but I blame you anyway.
Do you hear the hollow sound of my heart without your name?
Do you realize the things you say, that they only cause me pain?
And it only makes it worse when you tell me that you like me
Cus I wanna say I love you, and I can't, so help me hate you.
Maybe in another life we could have tried and made it right,
and I know no one's to blame, but I blame you anyway.

Walk Me to My Door
02:09
|
|
||
Will you walk me to my door at night?
The stars are out, the light's surrounding.
Can I tell you about my breathing? Will you tell me about the sky?
If you tell me that you need me do I have to ask you why?
I know how you're feeling, only all the time
So knocking on your windows keeps me out the dark
Here I stand before you, cold cold truth.
I'll never know
But I'll never let you go.

Born Under a Star
03:11
|
|
||
I feel the same as I did yesterday
Cus I still miss you, just like you told me not to
But I can't help but miss you on Christmas
A baby was born under a star today
I'll say sorry in my own way
A baby was born under a star today
We'll keep repeating all the mistakes we made
I'll feel the same tomorrow as I did today
And all the days after this holiday
But I won't miss you, just like you wanted me to
But I can't help but miss you on Christmas
A baby was born under a star today
I'll say sorry in my own way
A baby was born under a star today
We'll keep repeating all the mistakes we made

Autobiography
02:11
|
|
||
(adapted from the poem by Louis MacNeice)
My father made the walls resound
Wore his collar the wrong way round
When I was five the black dreams came
Nothing after was quite the same
When I woke they did not care
Nobody, nobody was there
In my childhood trees were green
And there was plenty to be seen
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
When my silent terror cried
Nobody, nobody replied
I woke up, the chilly sun saw me walk away alone
My mother wore a yellow dress, gentle, gently, gentleness
The dark was talking to the dead
The lamp was dark beside my bed
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come

Grey
02:00
|
|
||
I don't know the color of your eyes
Are they grey today?
I don't know the color of your hair
Is it greying yet?
I don't know the color of the sky
But it's grey today. It's grey on days that you're away.
I don't know the color of my eyes
But they look blue to you
I don't know how you feel when you're alone
Do you get blue, too?
I don't know the color of the sky
I hope it's blue for you.

Tiny Love Song
01:52
|
|
||
We don't have to drive your car
I like it when we're walking.
We don't have to move to fast
Despite the way we're talking.
You don't ever have to buy me things
I'll make you laugh, you'll make me sing.
I don't have to see you every day
Though it feels so good to live that way.
Does it make me crazy if I'm crazy about you?
Does it make me mad if I'm madly in love with you?
Do I sound hopeless when I'm hopelessly happy?
Does it sound silly that I'm right where I wanna be?

Our Insides
03:12
|
|
||
We work to pay the rent on time
And we pay the rent on time to show our parents that we're fine
Cus if they don't approve of us we have to live with a massive guilt trip
And you can't live with a massive guilt trip
Cus it'll eat away your insides one day at a time.
We work to have money in our pockets
And we want money in our pockets to get drunk with
And we get drunk in bars because work is long and hard
And those drinks go down so easy
Oh yes those drinks go down so easy, though we know
They will eat away our insides, we drink them anyway.
We work though we never want to work
Though if we had the choice we wouldn't chose to be servers or busboys
But we are, and we live with it somehow
We get to work on time somehow, we hold our heads up high somehow
Though I fear it'll eat away our insides, if we let it
But we won't let it.

I Bend
04:03
|
|
||
Saw him out with the girl I was told not to worry about
Seemed to me like they were happy
And I'm the fool swaying between the bar stools
Trying so hard to play it cool
And all my friends say I'm better off now without him
And then I see him again and I bend
Now here I am, just barely on the mend
When I see your arm extend towards me
And I wanna rewind, but when I do this is all that I find:
Your arm on mine
And I wanna be alone with you, blue eyes fading into a deeper blue
And I wanna be along with you, but then I see him again and I bend.

Nighttime
01:51
|
|
||
Nighttime, we go outside
Sunshine, we shield our eyes
Beauty, we keep ours on the inside
Virtue, we left ours outside
Courage, I laugh in the face of tomorrow
Danger, I'm not scared any more
Cus you make my day
Cus you make my day
Cus you make my day
Cus you make my day

Stay Inside
02:52
|
|
||
Outside I hear my friends nearby and I stay inside
Outside I hear my name being called and I don't wanna move at all
See my guitar in the corner of the room but I don't wanna play a song
See my running shoes untied but my legs don't feel nearly strong enough
And I wanna say anything meaningful for once
And I wanna say I've changed, though it wouldn't change much
And I stay inside
Why do I stay inside?

Happy New Year
01:54
|
|
||
At the year's end, tell all your friends how you feel
If you met this year still show them that you care
Cus a year's not too long, just once around the sun.
If you've done them harm, tell them you were wrong
Don't wait too long to fix what you have done
Cus a year's not too long, just once around the sun.
It's a happy new year cus we're all here
It's a happy holiday cus we're alive today.
