A bittersweet, relaxing song that talks about how someone both infuriates you and makes you realise exactly who you are at the same time. Wierd, but hey, it's me :-)

Calm Right Down

(long intro)

You know how I get sometimes
Can't see over the thin white lines

You've seen what happens to me
You know I can't be right
Inside
You want to run and hide
Before I do something
That i'll regret
With you around the stage is set

(solo)

I want to thank you
For this freedom you've given me
You've unleashed me onto the world
Let me be who I want to be
Like a flag,
Now unfurled

(solo)

I wish I could turn back time
To when I was little
And see what I was like back then

I wish I could reverse the hours
Reverse the days
As I look back on me in so many different ways

(solo)

(kick in)

(chorus)

I think I know
Where i've got to go
I know it will be away from you
Away from here

Can't release this pent up
Frustration and aggression
With you near
I want you to whisper in my ear
And tell me to calm right down, yeah...

(filler)

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing it all away
Occasionally i'll feel like
Calling it a day
Because of you

You drive me mad
You drive me round the bend
You make me realise
What a wierd and twisted person
I really am
I've come to cope with who I am
Just about
Because of you

(filler)

You make me calm right down
Stop acting the stupid clown
You whisper
Deep inside my cowering ear
I shut the rest of the world out
Put my aching face in my hands
You are the only sound that I hear...

(filler)

You've taught me never to give up
Without a fight
To me you are not what you were
You are a leading light

You are the only person who can make me
Into something almost resembling respectabilty
You must be some sort of genius
But no
It's only because of you...

(solo)

(kick in)

(chorus)

(filler)

Yes, I should learn more self restraint
Yes, I know I really shouldn't hate myself
As if I was wearing black and white make up
And strange silver jewelery
But what are you gonna do
It's only me and you

(filler)

Yes, I have to wrap it all up inside
Yes, I have to forget those times I cried
Because of me and you
And all the things we do not mean to do

We've been driven apart
Two peas in two different pods
I feel like i've been born with half a heart
I feel as if I have no heart left in me

(kick in)

(chorus)

I need to be told this kind of thing
The only way how
The only way how I know is how to sing
For you
And all the things you've done to me
All the things you've let me be
All the things you've done for me

(build up begins)

I need a release
I need a let go
From you
I think it's what we should do

(build up continues)

Let me go
Let me be
Exactly who I want to (be)
Let me see
A new person
Exactly who I want them to be

Why can't you see
Just what I mean
Why do you frustrate me
Like you do...

(build up climaxes, filler)

(kick in)

(chorus)

(solo, end)
