Shatter the plate now Crush the glass And all the things I've carried I put them down at last
I keep my promise Some days better than my heart But like little paper valentines This is where we start
Cuz you take me to the window, love And you leave the light on You take off my uniform And say baby put this new dress Baby put this new dress on
You pull me from my corner You promise not to laugh I'm afraid you'll see right through me But I'm afraid that I will never get enough
Cuz you take me to the window, love And you leave the light on You take off my uniform And say baby put this new dress Baby put this new dress on
From your window I can see the endless ocean blue From your window I can finally see that I love you I love you
So take me to the window, love And leave the light on Come take off my uniform And say baby put this new dress Take me to the window, love And leave the light on Come take off my uniform And say baby put this new dress Baby put this new dress Baby put this new dress on.....
Everything that I held true has failed me And nothing is as clear as it once seemed You have told me who I am and what to do and where to go I have listened and I' m trapped inside your dream
But I'll take it from here I'll succeed or I will fail but I will decide I'll take it from here Catch my breath and count to ten and Open my eyes... Again
My father's plans my mother's fears My own fine day Are careening past my reach and my control You can take your love and keep your money but Not my will and not my way At least every mistake will be my own
And I'll take it from here I'll succeed or I will fail but I will decide I'll take it from here Catch my breath and count to ten and Open my eyes Open my eyes Open my eyes
I may not know right now but I will find my way And I can't wait to see the city when it snows
Look at you, you're out of your mind again It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake And miss the boat at the same time
You've had bad luck, a tough draw, a rollercoaster stretch On this rough road life And every pretty promise taken back again
But you're a strong one, smart enough, not to blame But not enough to make you feel alive And there's nothing more that I could do to ease your pain
Look at you, you're out of your mind again It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake And miss the boat at the same time Look at you, you're high as a kite again It's nothing new, cuz you never try -- it's black and white And make or break at the same time
Then one day you'll have enough, you'll take a look And see love staring in your eyes And nothing in the world could make you hesitate
Look at you, you're out of your mind again It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake And miss the boat at the same time
Cuz you're the life of the party 'til the lights go down Can't keep still when there's no one else around Your fingers shake and your mind won't quit With all the reasons why you don't fit
Look at you, you're out of your mind again It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake And miss the boat at the same time Look at you, you're high as a kite again It's nothing new, cuz you never try -- it's black and white And make or break at the same time
I am digging deep, I am digging wide Looking for clues, in the grand design But no better, no better I'll never ever be I f I can't keep what I find
Cuz I have lost so many things And I have loved so foolishly But oh, never no never have I walked this dark path Or felt this troubled sleep
So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed Make peace with the things that you've done Cuz the end has nothing to do with the means and the Way that the battle's won
Cuz you try to talk me down And I'm running all around You try to make some sense of me But there I am in pieces on the ground
And so I wander, so I lust Ever wonder who to trust Cuz there's no clear line from blindness to sight No straight path from dust to dust
So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed Make peace with the things that you've done When the end has nothing to do with the means and the Way that the battle's won
And you try to talk me down And I'm running all around You try to make some sense of me But there I am in pieces on the ground
So I am digging deep, I am digging wide I can see true, when I see your eyes And no better, no bettter I'll never ever be Without love by my side
I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in All my heroes disappeared just like deja vu But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you
Now there's evidence I've been here, but no one knows how long My change is in your pocket, and the whisper of my song My clothes are in your closet and my books surround your bed I wonder what you expected, and what you got instead, What you got...
Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it, I like it, I like it
My friends all think they've lost me, my family's up in arms But no one ever noticed 'til I sounded the alarm There's danger in complacency and comfort in the fight For the way that you whisper in the sweetness of the night The sweetness of the night
Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it, I like it, I like it
Where there is ruin there is hope for treasure Out of the ashes come comfort and pleasure This is the love that no one can measure I have you, I hold you We are birds of a feather
I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in All my heroes disappeared, just like deja vu But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you
The steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see And I like it, I like it, I like it
We pinned the tail on Jonny Polanski And asked mother may I, and she said I was it And nothing mattered, nothing but the moment Some days made perfect sense, some days never fit
But there was room in my heart for you Room in my heart for you
We captured the flag in our own foreign countries And took each other prisoner bit by bit We take no prisoners now, in this sullen landscape Just ask for forgiveness, and hang on to our wits
But there's room in my heart for you Room in my heart for you
I am hard wired, fully detonated You pull the pin and you can't put it back It's a crash course, fully consummated Cuz I was aimed from birth to break off from the pack
But there's room in my heart for you Room in my heart for you
So here's what I keep, here's what I carry The sweetest intentions, love in the remains Here's what's strange, and what's extraordinary Nothing changes, but nothing stays the same
And there's room in my heart for you Room in my heart for you
So here's what I keep, here's what I carry The sweetest of intentions, love in the remains Here's what's strange, and what's extraordinary Nothing ever changes, but nothing stays the same
Cuz I know your secrets, I have tasted their fruit I have known the flash of her teeth in the dark And you thought that I wouldn't notice, and you thought that I would not follow suit Or the song in your soul or your heart......
I'll wear the red dress tonight You will reel your heart in tight You can have the upper hand and I'll pretend to understand Why, it came to this
How it came from there to here How we muddied what seemed clear Were we just doomed from the start Undermined by simple hearts Why'd it come to this
[Chorus: ] Come down in silence, come down in fear Come down in pieces Come down in tears
Well there are days when the light hits true Days of him days of you Nights of sweating, toss and turn Nights I feel your cigarette burn Why'd it come to this
As we take our places in this charade If the sun's too hot, well then sit in the shade Jury's still out so we make lemonade and say Why'd it come to this
[Chorus: ]
Well, we all get what we deserve I get him and you get her Given the chance I still defer And maybe we will always wonder Why, it came to this
So I'll wear the red dress tonight You will reel your heart in tight I will have the upper hand and You will finally understand Why, it came to this (Repeat 3X)
I am walking in your shoes For just a mile or two My heals are all torn But I will dig them in for you
I feel the pain you've known And the seeds of hate you've sown They're scattered on the grownd and I can barely step around Insanity and pain The things you will not name Growing in the feilds Spinning with the wheels
And wind of time and whimsy Your excuses and your flimsy lies I'm running out of faith I'm tired of saving face And where the hell is grace I didn't ask for second place
I am picking through the weeds And I'm falling to my knees And this is where I'll leave your shoes And step away from these Insanity and pain Who will take the blame
Beyond your will and whimsy No excuses no more flimsy lies I'm running out of faith I'm tired of saving face And where the hell is grace I didnt ask for second place I'm running out of faith I'm tired of saving face And where the hell is grace I didnt ask for second place
I don't think I ever really knew I don't think I ever really saw I don't think I ever really felt I don't think I ever, ever
How deep is your love?
Room for two, fuel for thought My new dress, stocking's caught Kiss my mouth, taste my tears Let them fall with all my fears Talk to me, say my name Hold me down, say it again Rise for me like moon for sea Rise for me like poem to pen
I don't think I ever really knew I don't think I ever really saw I don't think I ever really felt I don't think I ever, ever
How deep is your love?
Stay with me precious wild Stay with me, hold me awhile Love me like a little child Stay baby... Let them talk in this cheap town We will burn the old house down Cuz I love you crazy, love you blind Love you til the end of time
Room for two..... kiss my mouth Room for two, fuel for thought My new dress stocking's caught I.... Room... Two.... Caught....Let them Talk
I don't think I ever... Kiss... Kiss my mouth I don't think I.... Taste my tears I don't think I ever.... Let them talk.... Hold me down.... Say my name I don't think I..... How.... Deep... Think..... Talk...Tears.... How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I am walking past the sprinklers and the newly painted porches And the lemonade stand girls on a suburban afternoon I am leaving cuz I love you, I am leaving cuz I don't And I am hoping you will follow, and I'm praying that you won't Let me go
I am captive in your presence I will melt before your eyes But I still crave your approval, and I'm helpless when you criticize, criticize
Cuz it's written on your body -- it's on the tip of your tongue The look in your eyes, in the glare of the sun The touch of your cold fingers, when you say goodbye The way that you linger The way that you lie
You saw me through the keyhole of a door that I kept locked But I'd decorate the threshold just in case you knocked What I might feel on the edges you will never come to know And who I might be in the corners I will never ever ever ever show Never show
Cuz it's written on my body -- it's on the tip of my tongue The look in my eyes, in the glare of the sun
The touch of my cold fingers, when I say goodbye The way that I linger The way that I lie
Who said that love would linger who said that love would last When we cannot seize the moment and we will not leave the past I don't think I was afraid of you but how could I be sure When with every altercation you were showing me the door Well here I go, here I go, here I go...
Cuz it's written on our bodies -- it's on the tip of our tongues The look in our eyes, in the glare of the sun The touch of our cold fingers, when we say goodbye The way that we linger The way that we lie The touch of your fingers The look in your eyes The way we accuse The way we deny
