"Where No One Knows Me"

"Where No One Knows Me"


Got my suitcase
Got my dog
I'm packing up my life so far

Got my pictures
Got some cash
I'm getting out of here at last

Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive til I drop, til the tires turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me

Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me

Feel the sunburn on my skin
I feel the wind whip through my grin

Took the rear-view mirror down
I wrapped it in my wedding gown

Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive til I drop, til the tires turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me

Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me

"Why Do I Try"

"Why Do I Try"


Love broke my heart, love washed me up
Love made me sick, love swallowed me
Love made me weak, everything's bleak

Why do I try
Why do I try
Why

Love took my life, love stole my pride
Love killed my dreams, love made me mean
Love let me drown, love led me on
Love's not my friend, love is the end

Why do I try
Why do I try
Why

Love blinded me, love took my glee
Love laughed at sex, made me collapse
Love ended hope, love stopped the show
Love broke it all, love broke my heart

Why do I try
Why do I try
Why do I try
Why

"Will You Remember Me"

"Will You Remember Me"


Will you remember me when I'm gone
Will you remember me at all
I tried to be kind, I tried to be good
Will you remember me

God only knows why we try and fail
Is this heaven on earth or the fires of hell
I tried to be honest, it's hard not to lie
Will you remember me after I die
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

I've got a junkie heart in a cage of bone
I'm a scientific wonder, a sober son
I was born blue-blooded
So I've never made a cent on my own

I don't need to tell you that I'm afraid
'Cause I'll be paying for all the mistakes I've made
I tried to be thoughtful, it's hard not to be blind
Will you remember me after I'm gone
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

"Willing To Fall Down"

"Willing To Fall Down"


Holding you is like holding fire
And it burns my hands, and it leaves me tired
And it makes me run, trying to find some cover
This pain that comes with being your lover
You push me back, and you lead me on
And you make me feel, like this is all wrong

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down, there's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love, will set you free my dear

Holding you is like cupping water
Inside my hands and it's getting harder
To show you all of the love inside me
Wherever I am you're not with me
You push me back, and you pull me down
And you choke the words, inside my heart

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down, there's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love, will set you free my dear

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down, there's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love, will set you free my dear

"Wishing That"

"Wishing That"


When I held you, you would almost always hold me down
You could see through, everything I said
I was falling and you, said not to fall on you
I've bitten every finger 'til it bleed

Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too, wishing that

When I kissed you, you would almost always kiss me back
But I could tell your mind was with someone else
So my hands are folded neatly on my lap and I am
Picturing your body as I ask myself if you

Love me too, wishing that you'd love me too, wishing that

Listen to my nervous laughter sunken deep inside my heart
My lips are dry I'm teary-eyed for you my love
Harken all these fallen angels help me find a place to rest
My head is pounding here beneath the weight of this
I'm wishing that

And you know me, oh you know me more than anyone
When I hear your voice
everything I've done disappears from memory
Oh my darling come and save me
Tell me I'm the one you're dreaming of
Tell me that you love me too

Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that, you'd love me too
Wishing that, I'm wishing that, I'm wishing that
I'm wishing that I'm wishing that you'd love me too

"Wonderdrug"

"Wonderdrug"


Be my lover, be my baby, be my wonderdrug
Be my flower, weeping silver tears on
a rusted heart.
Don't say a word, just let me kiss it
all away
No more sorrow, no more sadness no more

Be my lover, baby you just got to want me
I don't know, can't think, not even breathing
Be my blood-stained suit of armor, be my everything
Don't say you love me 'cause I don't care
I love you more than you will ever know
No more worry, no more trouble, no more sadness
An no more sorrow

Oh my heart shines when you kiss my mouth
What a sweet surprise
And I stop cold when you're in the room
And you look my way
Say my name, say my name

Be my lover, Be my, Be my baby
Be my wonderdrug, my wonderdrug
my wonderdrug. Be my, be my baby
Be my lover
Be my wonderdrug

"Yeah You"

"Yeah You"


I take off
I touch down
I set sail
I run aground
I have one more for the road
It’s the only thing that’s keeping me afloat

I’m always gone, I’m never here
Sometimes I want to disappear with you
I’m choking on the atmosphere
Cause all I want to be is near to you

I lay down
I wake up
Fill another plastic cup
I watch the news to fall asleep
It’s the only place I keep you
I’ll long to keep you here with me

I’m sick and tired of moving around
I wonder if I’m losing ground with you
Afraid this love might dislocate
If I can’t go, if I can’t stay with you

I would give it all away
I’m sick and tired of moving around
Another show
Another town
I’m lonely when I’m not alone
Cause I’m out here and you’re my home
Yeah, you
Yeah, you
Yeah, you
Yeah, you

I take off
I touch down
I set sail
I run aground

"You Are Everything"

"You Are Everything"


You are everything
You are everything
Shooting star, you are everywhere
You are oxygen
You are medicine
You are everything that’s good about the universe
You’re the galaxy
A better part of me
And there is nothing that is bigger than the two of us

You are heavenly
You are heavenly
Bleeding heart, hanging on your sleeve
You’re a mystery
You are poetry
You are everything that makes me want to laugh out loud
You’re the setting sun and you’re the rising one
And there is nothing that I’d ever do to keep you down

You are oxygen
You are medicine
You are everything you dream of when you nine years old
You are open wide
A million tears inside
There is nothing that I would not do to keep you well
No, there is nothing that I would not do to keep you well

"You Don't Own Me"
(originally by Lesley Gore)

"You Don't Own Me"
(originally by Lesley Gore)



You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
An' please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in anyway
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'll never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

"You Forgot You Loved Me"

"You Forgot You Loved Me"


You even called to me, summer came, but I can't
See the sun in my house of rain
I should feed the cat, I should do the dishes
I should wash my hair and just on wishin'

That every day will be the day before
That I'd look up and you'd come through the door

You forgot you loved me, you loved me
You forgot you loved me

Wish to God it was someone else
I don't wanna blame myself
Cause the cheating round didn't hurt so much
As finding out that I was not enough

Impossible to wrap my head around
How can I wake my heart now to regret?

You forgot you loved me, you loved me
You forgot you loved me
