• if you think like thomas edison, could you invent a world for me?
• those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
• you left your thumb print inside me now for months it seems

but mine only brushes your soft surface

• the gift-wrapped guilt-trip kisses left you naked in your bed
• i don't wanna be an endless roller coaster

because i don't want to bring you up and let you down

• i was afraid to be alone / now i'm scared thats how i'd like to be
• but have you fed the fish today? / have you made your wish today?
• do the colors of the rainbow radiate to everyone?
• you write such pretty words / but life's no story book
• i want a lover i don't have to love / i want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
• i need some meaning i can memorize
• but all i do is just lay in bed / and hide under the covers
• i keep making these "to do" lists but nothing gets crossed out.
• when we can't run the distance / each other's all we're thinking of
• you save the day by getting back to me
• oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet / and hold the earth in place
• i can't use what i can't abuse
• i'll tell you something / i am a wolf but / i like to wear sheep's clothing
• this is the noise that keeps me awake
• stop analyzing my behavior / if you're too dumb to work it out
• you look so fine / i want to break your heart / and give you mine
• this silence gets us nowhere / gets us nowhere way too fast
• i sit here locked inside my head / remembering everything you've said
• and if this night won't let me rest

don't let me second guess / what i know to be real

• honesty is a hard attribute to find / when we all want to seem like

we've got it all figured out well let me be the first to say that i don't have a clue i don't have all the answers / ain't gonna pretend like i do

• i guess you're the only one / left standing when everything else goes down
• she walks around in circles in my head / waiting for a chance to break me

a chance to take me down

• you lost yourself / in your search to find / something else to hide behind
• i'm finding my way back to sanity again

though i don't really know what i'm gonna do when i get there

• 'cause i am hanging on every word you say and

even if you don't want to speak tonight / that's alright, alright with me

• this is over my head / but underneath my feet

cause by tomorrow morning / i'll have this thing beat

• would you catch me if i fall out of what i fell in

don't be surprised if i collapse / down at your feet again

• she said she'd live her life more wisely / and so i let her wake up beside me
• i'd rather chase your shadow all my life / than be afraid of my own
• i've seen enough and it's never enough / it keeps leaving me needing you
• i've seen the world / it's overrated
• so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
• barely surviving has become my purpose
• first teach me to walk / and then i'll learn to dance for you
• so take the weight of the world / off of me for awhile

be my peace, be my light / be to me the hiding place tonight

• i wanna wake up where you are
• do you wanna eat? do you wanna sleep? do you wanna drown?
• until the rhythm melts my bones 'cause im a dead ramone
• a million miles away from home, and fifteen from a payphone
• i believe in a thing called love
• i don't even want to be with myself anymore
• you bring the cup and i'll bring the moonshine

i wanna fill you up / babe, won't you be mine?

• it's not like i'm a slut / or that i really like to fuck

i just want every boy i see / to walk away with a part of me

• must i dream and always see your face?
• and when i sleep you're everywhere
• your fingertips, they feel like pins across my skin
• i'm a quirky girl in an offbeat world
• and i will wrap my breath around you til your exhale comes clean
• i got blood in my mouth, cause i've been biting my tongue all week
• i wanna wake up where you are
• c c c can't control my feet
• but why can't i turn off the radio?
• i often watch you the way you whore yourself
• no lovers or blankets are keeping me warm
• toucha toucha toucha touch me, i wanna be dirty
• who am i that i should be vying for your touch
• ask her why a dreamer dreams she never dies
• i'm not sick but i'm not well / and it's a sin to live so well
• my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
• well i love the way we communicate

your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

• please let me be blown away,

i promise you, i'm not afraid

• and i can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
• we all want something beautiful,

man i wish i was beautiful

• she's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser,

just to make you jealous of the men she fucked before you met her

• you don't have to like duran duran, just love me
• my heart's not broken but it seems to be ignoring me
• the lightning bolt made enough heat to melt the street beneath your feet
• i smell hideously of smoke and i secretly like it
• if i make it at all, i'll make you want me
• well i think that i'm bigger than the sound
• come on, let's fight, let's feel alive
• my tired radio keeps playing tired songs
• she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
• you're so fuckin' special, i wish i was special
• whiskey, gin and brandy / with a glass i'm pretty handy

i'm trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine

• body parts are nice
• i'm recording our history on the bedroom wall,
• i wanna li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes
• i like your smile, and your fingertips.
• i need you so much closer
• wait! they don't love you like i love you
• so kiss me hard, 'cause this will be the last time that i let you
• and you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone or anyone at all
• i will let you down, i will make you hurt
• where is my john wayne? / where is my prairie song?

where is my happy ending? / where have all the cowboys gone?

• love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
• it's hard to believe how i would get so wrapped up in you
• you write such pretty words, but life's no storybook
• it's always you in my big dreams
• and you kissed me like you meant it
• i can bend and not break or i can break and take it with a smile
• i should've kissed you when we were alone
• i can't even touch the books you've read
• and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
• your tattoos, they're gonna fade
• so, with a thousand sweet kisses, i'll cover you
• i'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
• empty glasses / there's just ice cubes

where's the waitress? where's my other shoe?

• someday i'll be so damn much more
• i want to be the girl with the most cake
• i would rather be wine drunk than sober and clear
• lately i seem to walk as though i have wings

bump into things like someone in love

• i'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help
• would you tell me, how could it be, any better than this?
• she fell like a meteor onto the planet

and said, "your world, it brings me down."

• with my feet on the dash, the world doesn't matter
• my life has become a boring pop song, and everyone is singing along
• when i'm horny like thirsty, she's a bottle of water
• i guess the sun can only shine here once a day
• it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
• i've got some imperfections

but how can you collect them all and throw them in my face?

• this is what i act like when i think i might be crazy
• every love is your best love, and every love is your last love
• freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
• i'll be your sailor girl

i'll be the waves inside your bed

• tell me i'm what your hands were made for

tell me i'm who your mouth was made for

• she cried a river and drowned the whole world
• show me your wrist and i

show me your wrist and show me your wrist and i'll kiss it kiss it

• it's only just a crush, it'll go away
• monday you can fall apart / tuesday, wednesday break my heart

thursday doesn't even start / it's friday i'm in love

• now my heart needs a polygraph,

i'm so eager to pack my bags when i really want to stay

• i wonder how else to cope with the air
• i don't really care about before, before you met me
• i'm thinking it's a sign

that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

• don't wake me, i plan on sleeping in
