| Song Lyrics Favorite Songs of the Moment The Best Deceptions By: Dashboard Confessional I heard about your trip / I heard about your souvenirs / I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights and the cool guys / that you spent them with / I guess I should have heard of them from you / I guess I should have heard of them from you // don't you see? / don't you see? / that the charade is over / and all the best deceptions and the clever cover story awards / go to you / so kiss me hard / cause this will be the last time that I let you / you will be back someday / and this awkward kiss that tells of other peoples' lips / will be of service / to giving you away // I heard about your regrets / I heard that you were feeling sorry / I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us / I guess I should have heard of that from you / I guess I should have heard of that from you // don't you see? / don't you see? / that the charade is over / and all the best deceptions and the clever cover story awards / go to you / so kiss me hard / cause this will be the last time that I let you / you will be back someday / and this awkward kiss that screams of other peoples' lips / will be of service / to giving you away / to giving you away // I'm waiting for blood / to flow to my fingers / I'll be all right when my hands get warm / Ignoring the phone / I'd rather say nothing / I'd rather you never heard my voice / you're calling too late / too late to be gracious / and you do not warrant long goodbyes / you're calling too late. (3x) Strong Enough By: Sheryl Crow God I feel like hell tonight / tears of rage I cannot fight / I'd be the last to help you understand / are you strong enough to be my man? / nothing's true and nothing's right / so let me be alone tonight / cause you can't change the way I am / are you strong enough to be my man? // lie to me / I promise I'll believe / lie to me / but please don't leave / don't leave // I have a face I cannot show / make the rules up as I go / try and love me if you can / are you strong enough to be my man? / my man / are you strong enough / to be my man? / are you strong enough / to be my man? / are you strong enough? / my man / when I've shown you that I just don't care / when I'm throwing punches in the air / when I've broken down and I can't stand / would you be man enough to be my man? / lie to me / I promise I'll believe / lie to me / but please don't leave. Favorite Songs of All Time Silent All These Years By: Tori Amos Excuse me but can I be you for a while / my dog won't bite if you sit real still / I've got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again / ya I can hear that / saved again by the garbage truck / I've got something to say you know but nothing comes / yes I know what you think of me / you never shut up / ya I can hear that // but what if I'm a mermaid / in these jeans of his with her name still on it / ya but I don't care / cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice / and its been here / silent all these years // so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts / what's so amazing about really deep thoughts? / boy you best pray that I bleed real soon / how's that thought for you? / my scream got lost in a paper cup / do you think there's a heaven where some screams have gone? / I've got twenty-five bucks and a cracker / do you think it's enough? / to get us there // cause what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it / hey but I don't care cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice / and it's been here / silent all these years // years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand / years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty / and the orange clouds raining in my head / years go by will I choke on my tears / til finally there is nothing left / one more casualty you know we're to easy easy easy // well I love the way we communicate / your eyes focus on my funny lip shape / lets hear what you think of me now / but baby don't look up / the sky is falling / your mother shows up in a nasty dress / it's your turn now to stand where I stand / with everybody looking at you / here take hold of my hand / ya I can hear them / but what if I'm a mermaid / in these jeans of his with her name still on it / hey but I don't care / cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice / I hear my voice I hear my voice / and it's been here / silent all these years / I've been here / silent all these years / silent all these / silent all these years. Motorcycle Drive-By By: Third Eye Blind Summertime and the wind is blowing outside in Lower Chelsea / and I don't know what I'm doing in this city / the sun is always in my eyes / it crashes through the windows / and I'm sleeping on the couch / when I came to visit you / that's when I knew / that I could never have you / I knew that before you did / still I'm the one who's stupid // and there's this burning / like there's always been / I've never been so alone/ and I've never been so alive // visions of you on a motorcycle drive-by / the cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind / you smile / and say the world it doesn't fit with you / I don't believe you / you're so serene / careening through the universe / your axis on a tilt / you're guiltless and free / I hope you take a piece of me with you // and theres things I would like to do / that you don't believe in / I would like to build something / but you'll never see it happen / and there's this burning / like there's always been / I've never been so alone / and I've never been so alive // and there's this burning ah-ah / there is this burning ah-ah-ah // where's the soul I wanna know / New York City's evil / the surface is everything / but I could never do that / someone would see through that / and this is the last time / we'll be friends again / I'll get over you / you'll wonder who I am // and there's this burning / just like there's always been / I've never been so alone alone / and I've and I've / I've never been so alive / so alive // I go home to the coast / it starts to rain / I paddle out on the water alone / taste the salt and taste the pain / I'm not thinking of you again / summer dies and swells rise / the sun goes down in my eyes / see this rolling wave / darkly coming / to take me home // and I've never been so alone / and I've never been so alive. You Look So Fine By: Garbage You look so fine / I want to break your heart / and give you mine / you're taking me over / it's so insane / you've got me tethered and chained / I hear your name / and I'm fallin' over // I'm not like all of the other girls / I can't take it like the other girls / I won't share it like the other girls / that you used to know // you look so fine // knocked down / cried out / been down just to find out / I'm through bleeding for you // I'm open wide / I want to take you home / we'll waste some time / you're the only one for me / you look so fine / I'm like the desert tonight / leave her behind / if you want to show me / I'm not like all of the other girls / I can't take it like the other girls / I won't fake it like the other girls that you used to know // you're taking me over / over and over / I'm falling over / over and over / you're taking me over / drown in me one more time / hide inside me tonight / do what you want to do / just pretend happy end / let me know let it show / ending with letting go (3x) / let's pretend happy end.(4x) |
| Realization of Fallibility I stand before you now corrected, My dignity lost, my love rejected. I thought you knew of my desire For God's great wrath, and Hell's red fire, For juice from your forbidden fruit, The energy of your vibrant youth. But I look at your bewildered eyes, Mine well with tears, but I dare not cry. And now I wish I had not spoken, That my strong-will had not been broken. If only I'd restrained flirtation, Hidden my secret admiration. I somehow thought you'd be delighted. Instead my love goes unrequited. You've dashed my hope and crushed my pride, My fear of failure justified. |
| Analogy I love you like fire But when I burn your eyes, they tear The hiss of steam Interrupts my dream So we dance like yahtzee Rolling dice in a cup, fingers crossed Chances are slim But I always win You search me like the net Hundres of matches, yet no answer Question rephrased Your eyes are glazed And I play you like music The notes all sound sour, out of tune Twisted symphony Inspired by agony Your heart is like my cell In chains, I still open my legs I hate you like need But I love you like fire |
