I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you I said I liked your shoes You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?" So it′s up the stairs and out of view No prying eyes I poured some wine I asked your name, you asked the time
Now it′s two o′clock The club is closed We′re up the block Your hands on me; Pressing hard against your jeans Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out You didn′t care to know who else may have been you before
I want a lover I don′t have to love I want a girl who′s too sad to give a fuck Where′s the kid with the chemicals? I thought he said to meet him here but I′m not sure I′ve got the money if you′ve got the time You said it feels good I said, "I′ll give a try."
Then my mind went dark We both forgot where your car was parked Let′s just take the train I′ll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors with bad habits Some sad singers they just play tragic And the phone′s ringing and the van′s leaving Let′s just keep touching; let′s just keep... keep singing...
I want a lover I don′t have to love I want a boy who′s so drunk he doesn′t talk Where′s the kid with the chemicals? I got a hunger and I can′t seem to get full I need some meaning I can memorise The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you, but you...
You write such pretty words But life′s no storybook Love′s an excuse to get hurt And to hurt. Do you like to hurt? I do, I do
It was in the march of the winter I turned 17 that I bought those things I thought I would need and I wrote a letter to my family said it′s not your fault and you′ve been good to me just lately I′ve been feeling like I don′t belong like the ground′s not mine to walk upon and I′ve heard that music echo through the house where my grandmother drank by herself and I sat watching a flower as it was withering I was embarrased by it′s honesty so I′d prefer to be remembered as a smiling face not this fucking wreck that′s taken it′s place
so please forgive what I have done no you can′t stay mad at the setting sun we all get tired I mean eventually there′s nothing left to do but sleep
but spring came bearing sunlight those persuasive rays so I gave myself a few more days my salvation it came, quite suddenly when Justin spoke very plainly he said "Of course it′s your decision, but just so you know, if you decide to leave, soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a baby who has yet to be born my brother′s first child I hope that womb′s not too warm cause it′s cold out here and it′ll be quite a shock to breathe this air to discover loss so I′d like to make some changes before you arive so when your new eyes meet mine they won′t see no lies just love. just love
This is the first day of my life I swear I was born right in the door way I went out in the rain Suddenly everything changed their spread Blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you I don′t know where I am I don′t know where I′ve been But I know where I want to go So I thought I′d let you know These things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized how I need you And I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning Yeah I thought it was strange You said everything changed You felt as if you just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life." I′m glad I didn′t die before I met you Now I don′t care, I could go anywhere with you And I′d probably be happy So if you want to be with me With these things there′s no telling we′ll just have to wait and see But I′d rather be working for a pay check Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time it′s different I mean, I really think you like me
