NOBODY

NOBODY TOOK DOWN MY GUARD LIKE YOU

NOBODY MOVED IN THEIR TOOTHBRUSH SO SOON

NOBODY DOES WHATEVER THEY WANT LIKE YOU

I’M CARDS ON THE TABLE I AM SPILT MILK

THERE’S NO USE CRYIN THERE’S FORCES AT WILL

I’M YOURS FOR THE TAKING COME GET YOUR FILL

NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO

NOBODY THRILLS ME LIKE YOU DO

NOBODY GETS ME

NOBODY KILLS ME LIKE YOU

NOBODY BUYS ME OLD BOOKS LIKE YOU

NOBODY HIKES UP MY SKIRT LIKE YOU DO

NOBODY SAYS THEY AINT THEY CHANGIN LIKE YOU

I’M PAINTING A PICTURE CAUSE I’M SEEIN RED

YOU’RE NOT THE VILLAIN I BUILT IN MY HEAD

THE FLOWERS YOU PICKED OUT STILL SIT BY THE BED

NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO

NOBODY THRILLS ME LIKE YOU DO

NOBODY GETS ME

NOBODY KILLS ME LIKE YOU

TO LOVE YOU IS TO GO MAD

TO LOVE YOU IS TO LOSE MYSELF

IN MEETING YOU I MET MY MATCH

THERE’S NO SWEETER DEATH

NO SWEETER DEATH THAN THIS

______________________________________

TREAT ME

You’re not the guy I met
and if you are only get
one chance to prove it
baby make it count

maybe she let you do that
maybe some other fool had
too many prob­lems
to respect herself

you’ve got a woman who knows her worth
and ain’t pre­pared to com­pro­mise it
you bet­ter lis­ten you bet­ter make it bet­ter
but don’t make me say
you can’t treat me that way
ooooh

maybe it’s my mis­take
sim­ple mis­un­der­stand­ing
triv­ial bull­shit we blew into space
a com­mon lovers rift
uncom­mon words thrown like fists
cause if you meant it
baby it’s too late

you’ve got a woman who knows her worth
and ain’t pre­pared to com­pro­mise it
you bet­ter lis­ten you bet­ter make it bet­ter
but don’t make me say
you can’t treat me that way
ooooh

you bet­ter make it bet­ter
you bet­ter make it feel right
you bet­ter make it feel the way it ought to feel
you bet­ter make it bet­ter
you bet­ter make it feel good
you bet­ter do it cause you know that you should

you’ve got a woman who knows her worth
and ain’t pre­pared to com­pro­mise it
you bet­ter lis­ten you bet­ter make it bet­ter
but don’t make me say
you can’t treat me that way
ooooh

MELODY

no mat­ter what has ever come to me

i got my own brand of company

i got da da da inside my head

and i play songs back to back until i got to bed

wake up by myself inside an empty room

theres no body next to mine to oooh

but my skin is warm and my heart is full

its the do do do do do do

walk­ing wak­ing on a crowded street

with my head­phones loud

so my hips can swing, so my head can nod

to the rock and roll to the boom boom beat

& i find that im never alone

& i find that my heart is my home

& the music within makes me whole

a world that i built on my own

& i know that im never alone

& i know that my heart is my home

every miss­ing piece of me

i can find in a melody

no mat­ter what has ever come to me

i got my own kind of company

i got ba ba ba inside my head

and i sing songs back to back until i go to bed

theres a river in my mind thats never still

swirling , sooth­ing all the time gives me a thrill

swim­ming in the notes that go

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

wan­der­ing, wak­ing in an empty wood

it is quiet here, i am powerful

i look down below ser­e­nade the world

from inside my soul

& i find that im never alone

& i find that my heart is my home

& the music within makes me whole

a world that i built on my own

& i know that im never alone

& i know that my heart is my home

every miss­ing piece of me

i can find in a melody

when the walls begin to creep in

and the sky is fallin down

when im swal­lowed up in feelings

i get lost inside the sound…

ONLY IN DREAMS

I lie in bed and hear the sea

My mind is filled with things I’d be

I’m a per­fect girl, Only in dreams

There is no long­ing theres no ache

Theres no promises to break

I’m a per­fect girl, Only in dreams

I only see what I could be I am fear­less I am free

It’s a great escape it’s a per­fect place to play

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

I lie awake and hear the rain

My mind is filled with things id say

All the per­fect words only in dreams

I see the way that things should be

I feel love sur­round­ing me

Its a great escape

and I never want to leave

Only in dreams

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

can’t take that away

my only escape

can’t take that away

my only escape

can’t take that away

away from me

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

Until my heart returns to me

Until the time that I find peace

I give myself only in dreams

ALL I WANT

I’d like to tell you what i saw

asleep in dreams at four years old

i stood upon a stage so tall

sea of peo­ple float­ing down below

and far­ther than my eyes could see

these out­stretched hearts

were turned toward me

and from the cen­ter of my being

the purest love was flow­ing freely

If I could touch one lonely soul

If I could heal and be so bold

to be a spark to be a light

set one heart on fire

that’s all i ever wanted

that’s all i want

that’s all i ever really wanted

that’s all i want

that’s all i ever wanted

If it’s wrong for me to want

to change the world

with what I got

let me make my own mistake

that’s a chance I’m gonna take

I’f i’m right I saw you all

In my dream so long ago

and if your bro­ken you should know

i’m here you’re not alone

If I could touch one lonely soul

If I could heal and be so bold

to be a spark to be a light

set one heart on fire

that’s all i ever wanted

that’s all i want

that’s all i ever really wanted

that’s all i want

that’s all i ever wanted

Starlight, star bright

I’m gonna make it right

Starlight star bright

I’ll be that star tonight

Starlight star bright

yes I may yes I might

alright alright

i’m gonna make it shine

WHEN YOU’RE READY

i’ll wait patiently
when the world
you’re caught up in fades
come to me
and you know i’m not holdin my breath
but you know how to find me
and you know there’s a knot in my chest
only you can untie me

when you’re ready for love
cause you know along
i’m the one that you wanted baby
all your rea­sons are wrong
now i know why you run
and i’m not leavin
before i got that you’re just lost
i used to think that i wasn’t enough
when you’re ready for love
cause you know all along
i’m the one that you want baby

you’re sane, safe with me
i hope that i’ve
shown you enough to believe
and you know i’m not holdin my breath
but you know how to find me
and you know there’s a knot
in my chest only you can untie me

when you’re ready for love
cause you know along
i’m the one that you wanted baby
all your rea­sons are wrong
now i know why you run
and i’m not leav­ing
before i got that you’re just lost
i used to think that i wasn’t enough
when you’re ready for love
cause you know all along
i’m the one that you want baby

it’s never too late to put the past away
it’s never too late to quit the masquerade

GOLDEN STREET

peo­ple keep sayin that im a lit­tle short on mercy
say my god for­saken soul will buy me things
fame and for­tune pearly gates and sil­ver wings
ya i picked out cur­tains for my place on golden street

peo­ple been call­ing me sin­ner
been call­ing me way­ward saint
caught a snag along the path that they call straight
looked down and i saw that i had lost my faith
turned my back on promises id never break

these days im just try­ing to find out what love means
find my place within this crazy scene
these days im just try­ing to find out what love means
find my place within this dream

peo­ple keep say­ing im goin to hell if i dont change
but i sold my soul to God when i was barely eight
all of jacobs lad­ders couldnt res­cue me
all because i bought that house on golden street

built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak
lit­tle did i know it wouldnt hold my weight
now im fal­llin fast into a great ravine
won­der when i land if ill be on my feet

these days im just try­ing to find out what love means
find my place within this crazy scene
these days im just try­ing to find out what love means
find my place within this dream

father can you spare me
a moment of your time
why’d you hide the answers
in between the lines
why do i have ques­tions
when you’re always right

JUMP

I coulda been a lot of things a preach­ers wife or a

pres­i­dent and I

I coulda been a movie star

or a stunt­man always falling down

I didn’t want to fall in love

cause love has always let me down

I didn’t wanna hurt again

So I put myself on higher ground

I used to feel so safe

the way I used to be

you brought me to the edge

and baby you have set me free

I think I bet­ter jump right now

I think I bet­ter jump right now

I think I bet­ter jump right now

cause im falling anyhow

I coulda been a lot of things a sol­diers wife or

a Cen­ter­fold

I coulda been a sin­gle mother

junkie always comin down

I didn’t wanna roll like that and lose my self for anything

I only tried to make my life the best I could and live for me

Used to feel so safe

The way the way I used to be

You brought me to the edge

And baby you have set me free

I like the way you make me feel

Im not scared anymore

I found myself when I met you

You make me feel so sure

EVERLASTING

another time another place

Id feel wor­thy of your love

But I been stuck inside this cage

Cause it’s the only place i know

And Ive been bro­ken on the floor

So many other times before

Watch­ing some one I trust

Walk out on me

So don’t walk out on me…

Ive always been unsure in love

I hated being vulnerable

But with you some­how I know

A love like this is everlasting

i Got you under­neath my skin

Cant you see the state im in

I decide to let you win

Cause love like this is everlasting

Love like this is everlasting

Another time I would ignore

My tear stained cheeks and

Ask for more, believing

thats all I deserve because

I gam­ble I get burned

love is just another sav­age game

I played and played and played

but it looks like fate has saved the best for me

are you to best for me?

Ive always been unsure in love

I hated being vulnerable

But with you some­how I know

A love like this is everlasting

Got you under­neath my skin

Cant you see the state im in

I decide to let you win

Cause love like this is everlasting

Love like this is everlasting

I don’t wanna give up what we got

cause Im not gonna ask what might have been

I don’t wanna give up what I got

When im with you baby

I don’t wanna give up what we got

Cause im not gonna ask what might have been

Not for any­thing Ill take my chances with you baby

Ive always been unsure in love

I hated being vulnerable

But with you some­how I know

A love like this is everlasting

round you I am some­one else

some­one closer to myself

took some time but I can tell

love like this is everlasting

LEARNING TO FLY

I’VE MADE MISTAKES
BUT I WON’T BE ASHAMED
IT FEELS LIKE FATE IS LIFTIN ME
I CAN’T SEEM TO KEEP MY FEET ON THE GROUND

I NO LONGER HIDE
SO I LET THE SUN WASH OVER ME
CAUSE THERE’S NO DARKNESS LEFT
TO HOLD ME DOWN
AND I FEEL IT’S LIGHT
NOW I FOUND THE SPARK
THAT WAS MISSIN IN MY LIFE

I EARNED THESE WINGS
I WAS NOT BORN WITH THEM
& IT’S NO ACCIDENT
HOW I WALKED THROUGH
THE RAIN AND THE FIRE

CAUSE IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE
IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO FIGHT
& FINALLY IM LEARNING TO FLY

WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR WAY
WHEN YOUR HEART BREAKS
WHEN YOU CAN’T ESCAPE
YOU FEEL JUST LIKE A PRISONER
OF ALL THE WORLD SAYS YOU WILL NEVER BE
THAT’S WHEN YOU CAN’T GIVE UP
GOTTA HOLD ON TIGHTER NOW THAT EVER
THE ANSWERS WILL FIND YOU WHEN YOU BELIEVE
AND I FEEL IT’S LIGHT
NOW I FOUND THE SPARK
THAT WAS MISSIN IN MY LIFE

I EARNED THESE WINGS
I WAS NOT BORN WITH THEM
& IT’S NO ACCIDENT
HOW I WALKED THROUGH
THE RAIN AND THE FIRE

CAUSE IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE
IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO FIGHT
& FINALLY IM LEARNING TO FLY

AND I TRIED YEA I TRIED TO GET SOMEWHERE THAT I’D RATHER BE
BUT SOMETIMES THE FASTEST WAY IS NOT SO EASY

I EARNED THESE WINGS
I WAS NOT BORN WITH THEM
& IT’S NO ACCIDENT
HOW I WALKED THROUGH
THE RAIN AND THE FIRE

CAUSE IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE
IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO FIGHT
& FINALLY IM LEARNING TO FLY
