WAVES
03:42
|
|||
the waves come crashing down
and make it hard to breathe
but I'm used to this by now
from swimmin' this big sea
takes all the strength I've got
to stay afloat
but I don't mind
cause it's my choice, it is my choice
how to spend my time
CHORUS
cause I'm an undercurrent baby
I could take you down
I make my own path
I make my own waves
I make my own sounds
ain't no one gonna tell me
how to spend my time
cause I spent too many years on the shore
watchin' it float by
it's time to get up get on get out
and make some waves
ain't no better time
ain't no better place than today
CHORUS

Cold Shoulder
03:50
|
|||
she gave me a could shoulder
then put some ice in my drink
now i'm left here freezing cold
and my lips have turned blue
and all i can think about is you
how i left you by the dock that day
and you asked if i had any words to say
and i left you freezing cold
ice upon the lake
and i think i know now what to say
CHORUS
cause isn't it funny when you find yourself
in the same situation you were left in
it seems that the world is laughin' at you
sometimes paybacks' a bitch
though you tried so hard
you tried so hard to forget it
she always said she never would be
anything like you
cause you tore her heart apart
yeah you left her for dead
now look what she did do
cause there's a man on the ground
and he's screamin' out her name
and there's blood all around
and everybody knows this game
CHORUS
i'm ready now now
to melt now
i'm ready now
to melt now

Move Me
03:24
|
|||
music doesn't move me
the way it used to
and i can't sleep
the same way
either too much on my mind
or too much to do
not enough time
or too much to prove
CHORUS
but i still try
i still try
to move you
want something to hit me
like the hammer to the nail
want someone to move me
set wind to my sails
cause i've been swimmin and drownin'
in this great big ocean
just tryin' to find
some sort of inspiration
CHORUS
music doesn't move me
the way it used to
and i can't sleep
the same way

Set Me Free
03:21
|
|||
one two three four five
if you are alive
won't you listen to me
if you can count to ten
you can begin again
but don't you think
it'll be that easy
cause i used to be the kind
that would waste all my time
on silly petty things like him
now i am the one
who's life has just begun
and his just came to an end
CHORUS
cause i am the girl
he wants in his world
it's too late now
can't you see
cause i was the girl
in his world
he lost his chance and set me free
so won't you just let it be
well i must admit
we had a good go at it
but some things just aren't meant to be
cause lookin' back now
it all seems clear somehow
he never really cared for me
cause he used to be the kind
that would waste all his time
on words to bring me down
now i am the one
who's life has just begun
and his it turned upside down
CHORUS

Not Alone
03:02
|
|||
eyes closed lips soft
you know what's next
you move towards me
and i try my best
to stay as calm
as i can be
with your eyes and your hands
all up on me, all up on me
i'm not the type
to get all worked up
but i think you might
just have enough
of what i know
i know i need
so come on, come on
won't you give it to me baby
won't you give it to me baby
the moon she moves
around us now
as we slowly start
to come down
from the highest heights
i think i've ever known
just let me know
let me know let me know
i'm not alone

Another Time
03:22
|
|||
it was another time time time
in another life life life
you try with all your might might might
to get it out your mind
cause all you did was cry cry cry
and fight fight fight
and say that you're fine fine fine
but you're thinkin' in your mind
CHORUS
that no one knows what you're thinking
and no one seems to care
but someone out there is feeling
like this somewhere
now all you seem to do do do
is try to prove prove prove
that you you you
have become someone new
and every single day day day
you try to say say say
in some sort of way way way
that you're okay
CHORUS
so now the time is here
to let go of your fears
to dry your tears
and start thinkin' clear

Anything You Want
02:41
|
|||
you got me walkin in circles
you got me walkin in squares
you got me walkin backwards
you got me everywhere
you got me singin songs for you
you got me sayin those words
you got me anywhere you want girl
CHORUS
anywhere you want
anywhere you want
anywhere you want
anywhere you want
before you came along
i was just a girl
with a gypsy heart and a ramblin' soul
wanderin round this world
but you stopped me on the tracks
mmm you took me in
now i'm walkin round in circles
and i quit my ramblin
CHORUS
anything you want
anything you want
anything you want
anything you want

When Love Dies
04:46
|
|||
lie awake and think about
things i should have said
a thousand words for me to choose
but i chose nothin' instead
you stood there as i looked away
could not look in your eyes
cause i knew what you needed me to say
but i can't tell no lies
CHORUS
cause when love dies you just know
there's no where to hide there's no where to go
some choose to leave
some choose to stay
and i'm not one to stick around
when love goes away
so you can put it all on me
i will take the blame
but i won't be around to hear
you curse my name
CHORUS

Scandal
05:02
|
|||
don't wanna think about it
don't wanna think about it
don't wanna think about ya now
i'll forget about it
gonna forget about ya
but still somehow
when you come around
when you come around
i lose my head
and i forget that i was
gonna forget about ya
i think about ya instead
you've got this way with me
you've got this way with her
you've got this way with them
that when you come around
everybody knows
what's about to begin
CHORUS
but i'm not gonna let you stick me in your pocket
i'm not gonna be your baby doll
when you come around
it's gonna be you up agains the wall
up against the wall
don't wanna hear about it
don't wanna hear ya now
don't wanna hear your voice
cause every word that
comes out your lyin mouth
leaves me with no choice
and you expect me to
get on my knees for you
and give it all
but when you come around
it's gonna be you
up against the wall
