The storm is coming but I don't mind. People are dying, I close my blinds. All that I know is I'm breathing now.
I want to change the world - Instead I sleep. I want to believe in more than you and me. But all that I know is I'm breathing. All I can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing Now I, Now I Now I, Now..., Now...
All that I know is I'm breathing. All I can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing. All we can do is keep breathing... Now.
I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head. Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread. Something tastes different, maybe it's my tongue. Something tastes different, suddenly I'm not so young.
I'm just a stranger, even to myself. A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf. Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him. Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.
I never thought I could love anyone but myself. Now I know I can't love anyone but you. You make me think that maybe I won't die alone. Maybe I won't die alone.
Kiss the boys as they walk by, call me their baby. But little do they know, I'm just a maybe. Maybe my baby will be the one to leave me sore. Maybe my baby will settle the score.
I never thought I could love anyone but myself. Now I know I can't love anyone but you. You make me think that maybe I won't die alone. Maybe I won't die alone.
What have I become? Something soft and really quite dumb. Because I've fallen, oh, 'cuz I've fall-fallen, oh 'cuz I've fall-fall-fallen So far away from the place where I started from.
I never thought I could love anyone. I never thought I could love anyone. I never thought I could love anyone, But you, but you, but you, but you, but you But you make me think that maybe I won't die alone. Maybe I won't die alone.
She says you're a masochist for falling for me, So roll up your sleeves. And I think that I like her, 'cuz she tells me things I don't want to hear, Medicinal tongue in my ear.
When will it stop? When will it stop?
When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel soft, soft?
You say that my skin feels like no one else's, That it's different somehow. But I don't understand, isn't a hand just a hand? No you don't understand.
When will it start? My broken part?
When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel soft, soft?
Oooo
When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel all soft on the inside? When will I feel soft, soft?
Have you ever thought about What protects our hearts? Just a cage of rib bones And some other various parts
So it's fairly simple To cut right through the mess And to stop the muscle That makes us confess
And we are so fragile And our cracking bones make noise And we are just breakable, breakable, breakable Girls and boys
And you fasten my seatbelt Because it is the law In your two-ton death trap I finally saw A piece of love in your face That bathed me in regret Then you drove me to places I'll never forget
And we are so fragile And our cracking bones make noise And we are just breakable, breakable, breakable Girls and boys
And we are so fragile And our cracking bones make noise And we are just breakable, breakable, breakable girls Breakable, breakable, breakable girls Breakable, breakable, breakable Girls and boys
I knitted you a hat all blue and gold To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold. It was my first one and it was too small. It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same.
I remember the first time we danced. I remember tunneling through the snow like ants. What I don't recall is why I said, "I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore.".
I should tell you that you were my first love.
So it's Christmas time, it's been three years. And someone else is knitting things for your ears.
I have come to learn I'll only see you interrupting my dreams at night And that's alright. And that's alright. And that's alright. And that's alright.
I should tell you that you were my first love.
And it's alright. And it's alright. And it's alright.
(And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together. (And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together. (And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together.
I should tell you that you were my first love. I should tell you that you were my first love.
We were seventeen again. We were seventeen again. We were seventeen again.
I could write my name by the age of three And I don't need anyone to cut my meat for me. I'm a big girl now, see my big girl shoes. It'll take more than just a breeze to make me Fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard. Fall overboard just so you can catch me.
But as strong as I seem to think I am My distressing damsel she comes out at night When the moon's filled up and your eyes are bright Then I think I simply ought to...
Fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard. Fall overboard just so you can catch me. You can catch me.
I watch the ships go sailing by, If I play the girl will you play the guy? And I never thought I'd be the type to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall to fall.
To fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard. Fall overboard just so you can catch me. You can catch me, you can catch me, you can catch-
I watch the ships go sailing by If I be your girl will you be my guy. And I never thought I'd be the type to fall, to fall.
To fall, to fall, to fall...
To fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard. Fall overboard just so you can catch me. You can catch me, you can catch me.
Rolled around on kitchen floors. Tied my tongue in pretty bows with yours. And now we pass and just like glass I see through you, you see through me like I'm not there.
You could make my head swerve. Used to know my every curve. And now we meet on a street, And I am blind. I can not find the heart I gave to you.
Sometimes what we think we really want we don't. Sometimes what we think we want we really don't. Sometimes what we think we love we don't.
And I am blind. I can not find the heart I gave to you. And when we meet on a street, Then I am blind. I can not find the heart I gave to you.
I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb I want to shut out all the lights in this room I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink Scrub away all these thoughts that I think of you
So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil Feel like I watch from 6 feet under the soil Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears But I recount the countless tears that I lost for you
But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -
Starting now I'll never know your name Starting now I'll never feel the same Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin
I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains Spinning away every piece that remains of you.
But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -
Starting now I'll never know your name Starting now I'll never feel the same Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
It's my world, it's not ours anymore It's my world, it's not ours anymore
Starting now I'll never know your name Starting now I'll never feel the same Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
There's a corner of your heart for me. There's a corner of your heart just for me. I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart. Just to stay in the corner of your heart.
There is room beneath your bed for me. There is room beneath your bed just for me. I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed. Just to sleep underneath your bed.
There's one minute of your day. There's one minute of your day. I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day. Just to occupy one minute of your day.
The colored lights, they brightly shine. Unlike your eyes avoiding mine. The snow is folding sheet upon sheet. Our hands not holding as we cross the street.
You have had your fill your fill of me. You have had your fill your fill of me.
I wore the dress I thought you loved. But my boots are filling with snow you shoved Off of the car we climb into. You finished first, I must catch up to you.
You have had your fill your fill of me. You have had your fill your fill of me.
How can I catch up when I don't don't want to? How can I catch up when I still want you?
You have had your fill your fill of me. You have had your fill your fill of me.
December baby, you are my, December baby, you are my, December baby, you are my, December baby, you are mine.
On a highway along the Atlantic I'm rifling through these last seventeen years. The radio waxes romantic. Its lullabies fill our eyes with tears.
We don't say a word. There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard. And how you've grown my little bird. I'm regretting letting you fly.
Six pounds and seven ounces. A ball of bones and flesh and tears were you. Now your hands, your tiny pink hands, grew larger than my hands ever grew.
We don't say a word. There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard. And how you've grown my little bird. I'm regretting letting you fly. I'm regretting letting you fly. I'm regretting letting you fly.
