I know you know,
We don't see
And so our truths wait patiently
I walk the streets with a song in my head
We ebb and we flow so
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed
My heart always seems to know
Take the glitz back
I want the soul instead
'Cause I found some kind of fairytale
I used to hover outside my truth
Always worried bout what I'd lose
Take away my record deal
Go on, I don't need it
Spent the last 2 years getting to what's real
And now I can see so clear
I hope you feel just like I feel
I found some kind of fairytale
Want a garden by the ocean tide
Cause I lose my way searching for stage lights
But Stevie knows and I thank her so
'Cause it's your seeds I sow and now I know
Nolita flat on rent control
That's the life I choose
Can't drag me to the fashion show
The poses that I see through
Ruby's in the afternoon
'Cause I found some kind of fairytale
A nolita fairytale |

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me
I lay awake at night for you
And I pray
We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met and still I cross the street
To your door
We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendants are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah
We'll climb the Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dali Lama
I'll feel him blessing e
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me just put your hands on me
Your hands on me
I first saw you at the video exchange |

I was heading down to Spring Street with a suitcase in my hand.
And filled with love and life and grand illusion, I knew you'd understand.
When I left you by the stairwell and your eyes were wet with tears.
Mother, you knew you had to let me go even after all these years.
And we sing Nah, nah-nah-nah, and she said. Nah-nah-nah-nah walk on.
Nah-nah nah, nah, you're alright nah-nah, nah, nah.
And I found myself a new life, and I've been living with some friends.
And we hold on to dreams and live like kings, like the days will never end.
And I left him by the statue and his eyes were filled with tears
Lover you knew you had to let me go even after all these years.
And we sing Nah-nah-nah, nah, and he said
Nah-nah, nah, nah, walk on.
Nah-nah, nah, nah, you're alright nah-nah, nah, nah.
And everything changes, and friends become strangers.
And what we hold so dear slips away.
The past keeps on fading, but I'll never forget you.
It's hard to see that you're a part of me,
Even when we have to say.
Nah-nah, nah, nah, walk on
Nah-nah, nah, nah we sing
Nah-nah, nah, nah, well alright
Nah-nah, nah, nah.
And I moved out of the city to start a family of my own.
And when I look into my daughter's eyes, and I don't feel so alone
And as I walk her down to Spring Street.
She holds on to my hand
Mother, you knew my eyes would be wet with tears and now I understand.
Nah-nah, nah, nah and I said
Nah-nah, nah, nah, walk on
Nah-nah, nah, nah thank you
Nah-nah, nah, nah, walk on. Alright.
Can't hold on. |

We scream and shout and try to make it last
Though it didn't work out, I don't love you any less
My lover or friend, I won't ever tell
Our secrets safe an unspoken citadel
And in these broken times, well, it's so easy to forget
So I sing to remind upon my shoulder you can rest
Cause I'll always give you my best
A sidewalk's path leads me to you
Though we don't look back, we hold on to a truth
And in these broken times I promise I will not forget
Though you're not mine upon your shoulder I can rest
Cause you always give me your best
Like a promise kept
It's like you never left
It's like you never left
And though it's been so long, I can't ever seem to forget
All it taks is a song and I could swear I hear your steps
Down the hall echoes a past
That leaves an ache, it's never left
Cause I gave you my best
It's like you never left
It's like you never left
We scream and shout and try to make it last |

I've seen myself in a thousand faces strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me but I cannot do the math
And this fashionista's garden party well I had enough of that
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for...
I'm a special lover sometimes but you only touch a ghost
I'm a sycophantic courtier with an elegant repost
Needless to say you're the one that I need the most
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for is you
The only one I come undone for is you
I know I'm done and now I see the truth
I know I'm done I come undone for you
You been gone so long waiting here for you
You been gone so long come undone for you
There are people in this lifetime that we should never meet
Cause to be here now without you, well, my life's so incomplete
I tell you what you mean to me, maybe then you'll see
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for is you
The only one I come undone for is you |

(w/ Stevie Nicks)
Holiday and I come home. I hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone. Flipping through the radio, we sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say
And the tape I made you, hope you think of me when it plays through
I'm kinda sad now that it's done.
You think my time is for free, in all the ways you say to me, sweet versions of let's wait and see
You're always a golden boy and I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say isn't he a gifted son
Time is always passing by still I have to wonder why
You can't come to tell me I'm the one
Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still I'm not the girl you want me to be
Say gravity can bend the time, funny, I always liked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me
But you're always a golden boy and this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun
Time is always passing by, still, I give you another try
And hope that you will see that I'm the one
You say you're scared to get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see you now at the show, the 7th in, the 7th row
Now you look at me and see what I've known for so long
Sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong
Came to say that I moved, I see your face you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone
But you'll always be my golden boy and I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodies are best left undone
I feel the time pass away but in my songs you will always stay
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one
You'll never know that I was the one |

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
And I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
But still wanna laugh in disappointed faces
And you can't help me I'm blinded by these
Heroes and thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you I'm without
Well I'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it
I keep movin' along and hope I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these
Heroes and thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figure it out
Darling it's you I'm without
Your comforting logic like, these days are the ones I'll miss
And I seek a solitude that I can't find without you
Seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I finally found
Thank you for believing in me now cause I do need it
Give me a year or two and I'll mend my ways and see these mistakes
When I see the truth, darling trust me, when I can see
I'll be coming back I'll be coming back
Cause there are heroes and thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you oh darling it's you
Oh darling it's you I'm without |
| » This Time « |
It's 4a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
A flickering of all of my mistakes
And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day I'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin
Do I push too hard or fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
Will I stop long enough to know
Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away, this time
Your words circle in my head
Weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in
Do I go too far, not far enough
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut
And do we lead the life that we should
Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away, this time
Did I say too much again? I'm just a girl in a panic
If I tell you my truth am I getting through?
It just seems I should confess. Who am I to pretend?
This is more than I can carry
Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I hold my head up high. I know I'll be alright this time
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
It's 4a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
It's times like these I see your face |
| » Fools Like Me « |
Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by truth
They say it's all in a little ways one revels their love's gone away, love's gone away
When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
Now I see a different man, rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach and all I'm left with is sand in my shoes, sand in my shoes
Fools like me
We love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Now I recall that time at the cafe, the thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say, they hold the loudest tones
You say you'll write
But it's ink on a page, just ink on a page
Fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Tic toc the time distant look grows in your eye
But fools never ask afraid of what lurks in your mind
I always knew, somehome, always knew
I always knew the truth
Fools like me
Oh we never see
Cause the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breakin, it's breakin, it's breakin
It's gotta break for me to see
At least I can say I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day |
| » Home « |
Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There's nobody there when the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell
Some I have known have a ship where they sleep
With sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most
Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
Some live in towns cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and busting life
They search for the color they can never quite see
Cause it's all white on white
Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
Repeat
For me it's a glance and the smile on your face
The touch of your hands, and an honest embrace
For where I lay it's you I keep, this changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I'm coming home, coming home |
| » More Than This « |
Cradling stones hold fire bright
As crickets call out to the moonlight
As you lean in to steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this
We all share the pain of our histories
But the ache goes away if you could see
This night under stars, well, I call it peace
If you say, I'll never need more than this
The trees grow so thick you can barely see through
But the forest bestows the simplest of truthes
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish
But the truth is you'll never need more, you'll never need more
You'll never need more than this
Want so much in this life, there's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song. Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away, precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone
Cradling stones hold fire bright
As we watch the glow of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing
As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home and they carry a song
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away, precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone |
