Michelle Branch
I wanted
To be like you
I wanted everything
SO i tried
To be like you
and I got swept away
I didnt kno that
It was so cold and
You needed someone to show you the way
So I took your hand and
We figured out that
When the tide comes I'll take you away
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cared
I'm sinkin slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I got to keep me hangin on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when youre gone
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you
Away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cared
All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know ill be there
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cared
Please can you tell me
SO I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
The Offspring
When we were yougn the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
Every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood is cracked and torn
the kids are grown up but their lives are worn
how can one little street
swallow so many lives?
chances thrown
nothings free
longing for what
used to be
still its hard
hard to see
fragile lives
shattered dreams
jamie had a chance well she really did
instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
marks still lives at home cuz hes got no job
he just plays guitar smokes alot of pot
jay commited suicide
brandon od'd and died
what he hell is goin on
cruelest dream reality
chances thrown
nothings free
longing for what used to be
still its hard
to see
fragile lives
shattered dreams
Reggie and the Full Effect
So you run away
I toled you all these things and yet you couldn't stay
Wouldn't even stop to give the time of day
And everything I said wont make these things ok
SO all I have to say is
Girl you mean so much to me
I wish that I could make you see
THe way you wanted me to be
is just as ez as 123
Cross the world so far away
I knew the words to make you stay
Of course Its wat I didnt say
Still i knew the words to make you stay
you smile at me
and wave to me
i know exactly where and what i want to be
and if i wait for this
So run awya
What were all the times we could have had that day
Everybody knoes that we would be ok
what they say should never matter neway
so all i have to say is
girl yu mean so much to me
i wish that i could make yu see
the way you wanted me to be
is just as ez as 123
cross the world
so far away
i knew the words to make you stay
of course its wat i didnt say
still i knew the words to make you stay
girl you mean so much to me
i wish that i could make u se
the way yu wanted me to be
is just as ez as 123
