1: I Do
When I'm done with thinking Then I'm done with you When I'm done with crying Then I'm done with you When I feel so tired Then I'm done with you Everybody feels this way sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it But I do You can't hear it But I do You're trying to convince me That what I've done's not right I get so frusterated I stay up every night You ask me for an answer And I'm so tired and I'm up in the air Everybody feels this way sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it But I do You can't hear it But I'm feeling this way Just because you say I will be ignored I will be denied I could be erased I could be brushed aside I will get scared And I will get shoved down But I feel like I do Because you push me around I'm starting to ignore you I've doubted you so long I'm tired of overthinking I know you don't belong Now I'm asking questions No one pushes me around Everybody feels this way sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it But I do You don't seem angry But I do I do
2: Falling in Love
She wanted to be a cowboy She was shootin' 'em down She was tramping around He walked in crooked With the clear blue eyes "There's a nice pool at my motel You wanna go for a swim?" That night he moved in The time between meeting And finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love The time between meeting And finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love At night she'd wait for the sound Of his feet on the doormat The sound of his hand on the doorknob The sound of her heart Beating in her head He'd go out playing nickel slots Cause he knew he'd lose She didn't know, so she couldn't choose One night while sleeping alone in her bed The phone rang, she woke up She sat up and said "What time is it? What time is it?" "Well it's 5:30 here and it's 2:30 there And I won't be home tonight" he said The time between meeting and finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love The time between meeting and finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love Now she sits in a booth in a diner Waiting for someone to take her order Waiting for someone to come in and sit down She rubs the smudge off the photograph And puts it back into her purse The grey sky was romantic Cause he was holding her hand He was her man The time between meeting and finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love The time between meeting and finally leaving Is sometimes called falling in love Some times called falling in love She wanted to be a cowboy She was shootin' em down She was tramping around

4: Let's Forget About It
I told you I was sorry, I told you I was wrong I said it was an accident and don't tell anyone But you love to circle round and round You're so misunderstood Yeah you love to circle round and round And you know that we should forget about it You lied about how much you knew I thought you were my friend You lied upon the matress c'mon, tell me where you've been You lied about this night apart You lied about the room If you're gonna have to lie to me then Let's forget about it Let's forget about it I'll stop crying on the mountain that we made On the molehill where we spilt the milk So you say this never happened Perhaps not the way I thought Did I throw this out of focus Or was it just the way we fought? That it seemed to me you took this girl But you wear to God it's not Let's forget about it Let's forget about it I'll stop crying if you'll stop I'll stop crying if you'll stop I'll stop crying if you'll stop lying to me
5: How
I didn't come this far For you to make this hard for me And now you want to ask me "How?" It's like how does your heart beat And why do you breathe? How does you heart beat And why do you breathe? Why did you come here? You weren't invited You were on the outside Stay on the outside And now you want to ask me "why?" It's like why does you heart beat And why do you cry? How does your heart beat? And there are come things That I'd like to figure out There are some things That I can do without Like you and your letters That go on forever And you and the people That were never friends With all the things That you could be You never could learn How to be me And now you want to ask me "how?" It's like how does your heart beat And why do you breathe? How does your heart beat And why do you breathe?
6: Furious Rose
"It's not really poetry But it's pretty" he said As he raises his voice She lowers her head "It makes my heart heavy You're lonely, I think Oh Rose you're sad, I suppose" "Look in her bed and she's bound to be breathing She's lying there dead, no she's breathing" Furious Rose with your opiate eyes Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise I've heard energy in adversity Your smile: The soul of witchery You're not running away You're not running, are you? Lyrically longing, she's tearing the words from the page She's fearfully seething "Bring me your blessings, a prayer or a new pen You don't know what I need" "Look in my bed and I'm bound to be sleeping I'm lying there dead but I'm breathing" And I'm barely balancing as it is And I don't want to drown in my dreams Bring me wild plums and agrimony I bet you don't even know what that means" Furious Rose with your opiate eyes Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise I've heard energy in adversity Your smile: The soul of witchery You're not running away You're not running, are you? Gingerly peering over his shoulder Removed herself from the room She's terribly freezing, She always knows when to go
7: Wishing Heart
No teacher to follow No prophet to tell me how But I know what I want I know what I want now Like water, it rushes It's the last thing you see Whenm you close your eyes It's the one place you want to be But if it doesn't brush my shoulder And it doesn't beat my heat That's not what I want That'ws not where I will start I never kissed somebody So that they would break my heart That's not what I want If you don't know what you're missing Cause you don't know where to start Follow your heart I was restless, I was restless I was restless, I was restless I just want this to be good I just want this to be good But you don't understand You don't understand me And I want to be understood But if it doesn't brush my shoulder And it doesn't beat my heart That's not what I want No that's not where I will start I never kissed somebody So that they would break my heart That's not what I want If we all leap before we crawl we might fall And it's not always candy spun from head to heart And it's not always meant to be And it's not always up to me But if it doesn't brush my shoulder And it doesn't beat my heart That's not what I want No that's not where I will start I never kissed somebody So that they would break my heart That's not what I want If you don't know what you're missing Cause you don't know where to start You don't know what you're missing Follow you're wishing heart
8: Dance with the Angels
You want to dance with the angels? Well then embroider me with gold And I will fly with the angels And you can dance with me Sing with the angels? Then show me a song And I will strum with the angels And you can sing with me But you want to fall Fashionably in love with a woman In love with a life you'll adore In love with a woman you'll adore Under my wings, you'll start to ask yourself Under my wings, you'll learn to fly Under my wings, you'll come to understand How to hold on if you want to Or you can dream of the frog legs Sitting in the church In the glass in the sand Where your footsteps Or you can dream of the angels In the air Can you see me?

Well then embroider me with gold And I will fly with the angels And you can dance with me
9: Jake
I'm going as far as I can go Away from here Away from you, Jake And the whole you sunk me into I wish that I could belong here with you And just be But that's not all that I'm about Your life is built on accidents Like meeting me You write everything down In you grocery list People do this Even insects buzz like airplanes Why can't we fly away? I'm going as far as I can go Your dad died cause his heart hurt Arking away his 45 years Dragging your mom along I don't want that Neither do you, neither do you If I am not fun And I am not interesting Perhaps I am not interested in you Neither are you You can't stand in front of an oven Cause it's warm And the fumes are dangerous I'm going as far as I can go Away from here Away from you, Jake And the hole you've sunk me into I wish that I could belong here with you And just be But that's not all that I'm about to do
10: This
In an open room that echoes well This is where I can tell you everything This is where I meet my muse And it feeds me This is how I buy the sun And it feeds me This is why I burn this candle I light it so that I can handle this You're so still, you're so safe you appear severe You are so nonchalant I'm so still I'm so safe I appear severe I am not This is where I meet my muse And it feeds me This is how I buy the sun And it feeds me I told David I won't die And this how I watch the sky This is why I burn this candle I light it so that I can handle this You're so still You save face You try to erase All you feel inside Stand still I save face I misplace all the feelings I can't hide Of all the rooms I've loved the most It's you I love inside this room They test me I can train my evil eye To see like they do Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes Of all the rooms I've loved before It's you I love This is how I meet my muse
11: Split Second
I did not want to be stuck One second longer than I had to be there Stuck inside the door I'm always scared I'll slam my fingers In the door Because the last time that I left I slammed my fingers in the door When you want to get out You get up and walk Straight to the door Not stop and think about it Thinking that one second longer Than a car could hit me in it If I thought more than I did
12: Firecracker
You want to suffer And show me you're angry Fight with your fists up Or call for your mommy You want to suffer And show me you're angry Spend time alone Find a stick in the basement Drink water and gold dust And live on impatience Slaughtered for weakness Electric like static Slaughtered, you're weak There's no need to speak You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers You step on the sparks You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers I shouldn't be any great inspiration I never got in your way I should never have to chase you I was the one who got away If you could feel the pain Your confusion has caused me You would have stopped before you spoke Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me The gift that you gave me, I put it away I couldn't look at it, It made me think of you You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers You step on the sparks You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers Spend time alone Find a stick in the basement Drink water and gold dust And live on impatience Electric like static And no need to speak It's not right but it's not wrong So I wrote this song I wrote this song Is that what you want? You got what you want Does it make you feel better? With a smirk on your face And a gun at my head You come to my place and ask to be fed You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers You step on the sparks You change your shoelaces I light firecrackers You get in the way You get in the way You want to suffer and show me you're angry Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy You want to suffer and show me you're angry
