"Weakness defined is a face that comes around When your troubled word has got you by the tail There's nothing around No one here to understand You stand diminished by a past somebody's words And those somebody's words cut you deep and swallowed you whole And your ostrich head is buried in the sand You do what you can You're still somebody else No matter what you think to say You're still somebody else Rotating the moods from day to day You're still somebody else And nothing's the same since you put on that face You're still somebody else Even when you're by yourself So you're stuck in a crowd that bends your mind And ties you down You've been thinking that you need a new way out There's nothing around That gets you to that other place Where you're gonna shine You'll let that truth spill all about And I can see in your grin All those things that you've held in And I'm the only one who is set for your surprise As doubt subsides You're still somebody else No matter what you think to say You're still somebody else Rotating the moods from day to day You're still somebody else And nothing's the same since you put on that face You're still somebody else Even when you're by yourself It would be a miracle just to feel at home You're all alone and riding on that breeze While you're balanced on that life that rests on sacrifice It would be nice To reacquaint those days of ease And I can see in your grin All those things that you've held in And I'm the only one who is set for your surprise As doubt subsides You're still somebody else No matter what you think to say You're still somebody else Rotating the moods from day to day You're still somebody else And nothing's the same since you put on that face You're still somebody else Even when you're by yourself"
Jah we all feel frustration. Pushing harder though we feel true strain Wishing that you'd send us an angel Imagine joy when you only cry pain. And if you're gonna need some sunshine. Cover your eyes and let the rain roll quietly down. Dripping in the tears of one time, Suddenly your mind can let the rain roll quietly down. Let it roll down. Let it roll down. Someday there will be an uprising. When your heart finally has had enough. Water from the river baptising You think its fate finally calling your bluff. And if you're gonna need some sunshine. Cover your eyes and let the rain roll quietly down. Dripping in the tears of one time Suddenly your mind can let the rain roll quietly down. Let it roll down, let it roll down.
"How many times was there trouble Whenever I smiled a certain way? No I never held any added depth I was happy in the offhand things I'd say.. So I wanna know where I went wrong Cause I think I had it right this whole time Exhausted in this 'bout and once again I'm arranging blind ambition in my mind So I'm leaving town My life will be much brighter when it's finally found I'm leaving town Difference is waiting to learn my middle name When I finally leave this town How many times did I stand corrected Like I spoke against what you held dearly in mind? I can't fight the feeling it always gets the best of me It kills me that opinions don't combine.. Seems I've always had some plan That I've kicked around and somehow it's the same old Every days just like tomorrow When you're waking up too late and freezing cold I'm leaving town My life will be much brighter when it's finally found I'm leaving town Difference is waiting to learn my middle name When I finally leave this town So I wanna know where I went wrong Cause I think I had it right this whole time Every day is just like tomorrow Where you're waking up too late and freezing cold I'm leaving town My life will be much brighter when it's finally found I'm leaving town Difference is waiting to learn my middle name When I finally leave this town My life will be much brighter when My life will be much brighter when My life will be much brighter when My life will be much brighter"
"When you're at my front door I hesitate before I let you in There are more doors lined up this street Many smiles that could lay within But first I'll need to catch A couple of breaths Before I follow you follow you through From the rest I'm gonna see you out this door Smile stretched is insecure Never really loved one heart for too long They may all think I'm wrong that you're the right one for me It may be vain to tow the water but these fish are different colors in my sea What an enormous start of my day I've got a receiver in my ear It's just a harsh reminder that everything only gets better for The next 23 minutes Then time re-expires And I'm lit back on fire And on the insides I'm like a burning ember Of a last known cigarette ending all the points of a small gust of wind That carried the thought of you the spider spinning your obnoxiously naive silk I'm gonna see you out this door Smile stretched is insecure Never really loved one heart for too long They may all think I'm wrong that you're the right one for me It may be vain to tow the water but these fish are different colors in my sea I'm gonna see you out this door Smile stretched is insecure Never really loved one heart for too long They may all think I'm wrong that you're the right one for me It may be vain to tow the water but these fish are different colors in my sea"
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night and no, I did not go downtown in the rain. I sat up thinking somethings just not right then I heard my baby start to complain. She held my hand, She don't understand, She don't comprehend my every move. She says that she can see, what lies in front of me. But still there's so much left that I have to prove. Baby come on! She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time. She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time and that's all right by me. Ten-fifteen on that very same night and then I saw a plate go flying through the air. She said you sonofabitchiwonttakethatshitiwonttakenomore, I said "Baby, sit your fine ass down in that chair and let me talk to you for a minute" She held my hand, she don't understand. I try to understand her empassioned moods. She says that she can see, what lies in front of me, But still there's so much left that I have to prove. Baby come on! She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time. She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time and that's all right by me. She don't want to walk a road with no end. I said I'll try my best, but I feel like I lost my only friend". She thinks she knows me. She thinks she "knows". She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time. She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time She thinks she knows me, she think she "knows" She thinks she knows me but she don't think all the time and that's all right by me.
"Oh she moves oh she moves Without inhibition Refusing to admit she's losing her mind Moves to the sound of a garbled music That blares out the boom box loud Fills the room with its sound And her hair I believe is a half a mile long It somehow protects her from the thunderstorms Yet she walks in the rain not to clear her mind She does it just for fun Doesn't care about the viewpoint of anyone So how could anybody seem to know so much About living with grace and joy as she does If you closed your eyes and took in her voice you'd swear You were hearing sweet song and dancing And old fashioned love sick romancing You'd swear you were hearing the angels Hearing the angels Space case wicked witch laughter Photographs with captions to help her remember Her ridiculous play on words In a late night call From a place so strange An empty bathtub She calls home on the range So how could anybody seem to know so much About living with grace and joy as she does If you closed your eyes and took in her voice you'd swear You were hearing sweet song and dancing And old fashioned love sick romancing You'd swear you were hearing the angels Hearing the angels Never thinks of herself Friends before anything else A lesson in honesty comes through when she speaks her mind But its her actions that always are silver lined When you see her talking to brother and sister You'd think she would make a good mom Overcome trouble so many times That she laughs in her face when it comes by for a fight Like walking blindly into the pitch dark night So how could anybody seem to know so much About living with grace and joy as she does If you closed your eyes and took in her voice you'd swear You were hearing sweet song and dancing And old fashioned love sick romancing You'd swear you were hearing the angels Hearing the angels Go on listening Go on listening Go on listening Go on listening Go on listening Go on listening"
"It's only two weeks and my heart is feeling like the beat of a brand new song that reminds me of you We both know the tune so I guess it’s ok that I burst right in to start up something new Over and over I find ways to react, like a kiss or two, romantic we act Eye contact sometimes we just disappear It seems like the minutes are years We're in shambles Oh our love's in happy shambles Like we broke just in time Be not afraid of being in love cause I think you’re lovely Go on piece your shambles with mine? I think it’s so funny last night we did nothing but talk religion and politics On the bedroom floor Do these things at all question your mind Feeling free to say so makes me love you more Over and over I find ways to laugh Your wit subdues me I’m split in half And I know Im not right when I think something’s wrong Assurance comes to you in song We could sneak out like its 2 AM Like it’s the end of the world I’m thinking about you all the time Insert words here Urging my heart and soul All this dodging I’ve done in the past And I know that it ain't gonna last But your smile it tells me I'm wrong It tells me I'm wrong Go ahead and piece em together We're in shambles Oh our love's in happy shambles Like we broke just in time Be not afraid of being in love cause I think you’re lovely Go on piece your shambles with mine?"
The reason why I won't go asking so much, I just might be wanting to stay. The evening moons got no wine for me now. And minor loneliness won't stand in my way. Pick up eyes with your far from home smile. I'm a child it's just a truth thats been told. Pick up my paw as it swings by my side. It's been waiting for a hand it can hold. Why am I hoping for something, somewhere to say, "It's gonna be different, she don't know about yesterday." Why am I hoping that you'll see me in that way. Her cigarette smile won't go asking too much,Her hearts been aching and it's been that way for years. Keep in mind as you get lost in those green eyes, she's been holding back a lifetime of tears. "I won't bite" she smiles, holding my face. Wondering if I've got the minute she needs. Smiling back I mock the cheshire cat, My gaze only prompts a sexual tease. Why am I hoping for something, somewhere to say, "It's gonna be different, she don't know about yesterday." Why am I hoping that you'll see me in that way. You don't need to worry for me. I've got all the time. I've got all the time you need. Why am I hoping that you'll see me in that way. I see you, and I know you see me too in that way.
"Nothing’s wrong I’m pulling back the strings That tied me to you Because I have a bag of my own That I must tote And too much on one side Will rock the boat But don’t assume I’m pissed I’m only being my old self No apologies When I tell you I want to Sit and do nothing for today Yeah I want to sit and Do nothing today Our communication can’t be down Our communication can’t be down I’ll never regret Finally speaking up Now you know the whole of me The one half who Will never make excuses for his heart And the other Who’ll direct you through the dark Our communication can’t be down Our communication can’t be down I tried to prove I was worth it for you It only made me less than worth inside I tried to prove I could be anything for you But anything was just me trying to hide I will compromise And wave a white flag to you Declare an even truce Under the terms that we give each other Space for alchemy So we could return to the form we’d like to be Our communication can’t be down Our communication can’t be down Our communication can’t be down Our communication can’t be down"
"I've had enough of the people Always getting under my skin I've had enough of the doubts I never Should have ever let in Inside I heard this voice And it rose above the noise It said listen son You've got to be true to you I'm gonna do my thing Even if I'm unprepared I'm gonna sing my song Even if I'm feeling scared 'Cause my soul will shine Shine on right through Gonna let my true heart speak Cause that's what I'm supposed to do I've seen so many with something They just won't let bleed through So many gifts theyve given So little paths they dont pursue I olnly do what I can In spite of all these plans I found a simple truth I didnt hide it behind my fear I'm gonna do my thing Even if I'm unprepared I'm gonna sing my song Even if I'm feeling scared 'Cause my soul will shine Shine on right through Gonna let my true heart speak Cause that's what I'm supposed to do Isn't good to know Youve got plenty of room to grow No more space to doubt yourself And these things youve come to know Well the sun is in my eyes And my shadows stay behind me I'm gonna do my thing Even if I'm unprepared I'm gonna sing my song Even if I'm feeling scared 'Cause my soul will shine Shine on right through Gonna let my true heart speak Cause that's what I'm supposed to do"
"Friends I will miss thee But we are standing on the edge of this place Ends We all meet them So dont be scared if we come face to face So if this leads the way back to our Simple town type of life I'd be happy just to see that things turn out alright Cause I'm ok I'm ok Since you closed these doors on me It's alright I'm ok You'll be happier than you were before We went our separate ways You gotta laugh You gotta let your light out Cause you only have so many before its time for tears And when you cry You let your light out And its ok to miss what you worked so well with for years So if this leads the way back to our Simple town type of life I'd be happy just to see that things turn out alright Cause I'm ok I'm ok Since you closed these doors on me It's alright I'm ok You'll be happier than you were before We went our separate ways You will see my face my shining balancing act talent in some eight dollar fifty future feature show And if not we'll just speak in spirit For miles and miles you know I'll hear it I always be the face you came to know And so we go And so we go Into oblivion"
The wind whipped her copper strands and dried old tears I'll never understand. On her knees in the April rain, I felt from afar the numbing pain. But something about the breeze, as she rose up from her knees gave me strength to keep on moving on. People move your eyes over there she has got wind inside her hair. Maybe owning a piece of her heart for more balance in the art of love. The cross and blossoms almost made me cry. Though she never ever crossed my patch. Still a tear wells up in my eye. It's been said you might forget what she did or what she said. But the way she made you feel will never be dead. People move your eyes over there she has got wind inside her hair. Maybe owning a piece of her heart for more balance in the art of love. Is it worth a try? I ask myself most every night. Is it worth a try? Even though my heart screams that it's not right. Is it worth a try? I guess not but for now I just need a piece of mind. People move your eyes over there she has got wind inside her hair. Maybe owning a piece of her heart for more balance in the art of love.
