Hermit
I remember all the time we shared
Riding on a smile you came tumblin down the stairs
After takin hours findin what to wear
It's funny how your style was to look like you don't care
And I stay on
On for you
Always talkin bout those places we will go
And tellin me we'll make it there
Though we don't really know
And somehow I believed you just because you told me so
And I stay on
On for you
And it's funny how the people say that nothing ever lasts
Cos I still know what I wanted
And that's what I want to pass
And I'm waitin on the radio to play my favorite song
But it won't play
Not anymore
And I'll remember walkin in the cold
And goin into record stores to look at what they sold
And I'd steal ya anything you want
And stick it in my coat
And I stay on
On for you
And I'll remember bein in your room
And listening to soundwaves sing the "Dark Side of the Moon"
And no matter how many times we listened
It never played to soon
And I stay on
On for you
And it's funny how the people say that things will change in time
Cos I still know what I wanted and I want you to be mine
I wanna tell you that I love you more than I can really stand
More than any other man could
...could
I'm so on
On for you
I'm so on
On for you
I'm so on
On for you
I'm so on
On for you
Mmm for you
For you

Roommate of a Friend of MIne
I hate the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge
Dead in the backseat
Waiting it out
Listening to "something"
Unload the bass and the amplifiers
Barely make it to the stage because the doorman's got my I.D, oh
A couple faces look familiar to me
I see you walkin in your red coat lookin like an actress
I asked around
You're a roommate of a friend of mine
I asked around
You're a roommate of a friend of mine
After a couple awkward stares from the stage
I wanna meet you on the sidewalk and follow where you're goin
We stand around and see our breath in the wind
You're so lovely in the snow, I'll bet you're lovely in the summer time
You walk ahead but you won't leave me behind
It's plain and simple girl I'm gonna get to know you
We share your wine from the bottle in the city lights
I asked around you're a roommate of a friend of mine
Oh the city lights inhale me now
Oh the city lights inhale me now
I hear the echo of a DJ down on Avenue A
I chase the music cos I wanna see you dancing
Still can't believe all the funny things I hear you say
To those working men yelling dirty things to you
It's getting late still I don't know you at all
About to walk right into knowin you forever
We share your wine from the bottle in the city lights
I asked around you're a roommate of a friend of mine
Oh the city lights inhale me now
Oh the city lights inhale me now
Oh the city lights inhale me now
Oh the city lights
Take me any night
To the city
To the city
To the city
To the city lights

Stay

Stay
I was dreaming in the day
I was absent out in space
Or as I’d prefer to say
I was wide awake
In a clear and striking dream
And as crazy as it seems
Any other reality
Could not compare
Oh, stay you will
Say you will
And there’s nothing that I wouldn't do
To hear you sayin
Say you will stay
And may you feel as complete in your life
As I do when I’m near your side
And may noone steal your pride
away, away, away
Cos I know there is no guarantee
And youth it has no clarity
And the world has no humanity
But without heed I still believe
Ain't no one stands a chance at stopping you girl
I’ll follow you there each step of the way
So, say you will
Say you will
And there’s nothing that I wouldn't do
To hear you sayin
Say you will stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
A wild wind is clawing down the window
A white fog is rising on the lake
You’re gonna get stuck in the rain
If you leave
You’re gonna get stuck in the rainbows
Sweet baby
Say you will
Say you will
And there’s nothing that I wouldn't do
To hear you sayin
Say you will stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Virgin Smile

Virgin Smile
With a virgin smile
You once captured me just for a while
With a certain kind of need
Melting through the corner of your eye
Now don’t be afraid
Don’t let life keep you only where it’s safe
In time you’ll feel the change
It’s easy, love will break, love will remain
And to touch your skin
I just don’t know where I would begin
I know it’s clear to see
I’m not worthy in comparison
And my mortal hands
Weakened by the praise in which I stand
I’m tryin hard to keep my eyes
Only at a quite glance
But I know when I’m burning
And baby I’m learning
Baby I’m learning
Paint me with your body
Over and over
Over and over
With a virgin smile
You once captured me just for a while
With a certain kind of healing power
Radiating miles and miles
Now I’m exposed
Intertwined in you ribbons and bows
Tomorrow never knows nothing
Arms and fingers legs and toes
But I know when I’m burning
And baby I’m learning
Baby I’m learning
Paint me with your body
Only once I need to hear these words
Sung in whispers
With a virgin smile
With a virgin smile
With a virgin smile
With a virgin smile
With a virgin smile
With a virgin smile

Fit Together
You and me
Fit together so perfectly
You and me
Fit together so perfectly
When we lie around
Playin cards
When we watch movies
Drive in cars
And I will go if you need me to
And I will go where you lead me to
Cos you and me
Fit together so perfectly
Yeah you and me
Fit together so perfectly
When we’re makin out
In the dark
When we ride on trains
Drinking sparks
And I will go if you need me to
And I will go wherever you lead me to
But we can’t go home
No we can’t go home

Hearts at War
That's my angel sleepin now
These broken walls and windows speak
Of a time that we were both happy
Wedding bells and fairy tales
They won’t come true but I can’t help
Dreaming that that kind of life’s for me
So let’s pretend that we’re both young
And don’t have all these questions
Burning up inside of us
Each time we say goodnight
Cos if your hearts at war still I’ll adore you
And have I mentioned
Lean in close I swear that I
Still love you and you’re mine
What will it take to keep us alive?
It only took a story book
And the world it shook
You spoke to me
Why do we treat the ones we love so mean?
Let us not speak falsely now
Just take my hand and understand
All these broken pieces we still need
and let's pretend that we’re both young
and don’t have all these questions
Burning up inside of us
each time we say goodnight
Cos if your hearts at war still I’ll adore you
And have I mentioned
Lean in close I swear that I
Still love you and you’re mine
What will it take to keep us alive?
What will it take to keep us alive?

Secret Emotion
A light finally dawning
Shadows lean into the sun
Another garden is bled out
Distant beating of a drum
Through the door!
High speed rolling of a train
This never more leading me time and again
Time and again
On a path that dirtied up my shin
Failing every place where we begin
Through the door!
High speed rolling of a train
This never more
leading me time and again
Time and again
Through the door!
High speed rolling of a train
This never more
leading me time and again
Time and again
Yeah
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion honey
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion honey
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion now
Through the door!
High speed rolling of a train
This never more
leading me time and again
Time and again
Through the door!
High speed rolling of a train
This never more
leading me time and again
This never more
leading me time and again
This never more
leading me time and again
This never more
leading me time and again
Secret emotion honey
Secret emotion, secret emotion
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion
You got my secret emotion
Secret emotion

Oh Darling
You were young
And you were small
But now you’re grown
Big and tall
Your barbie shoes turn to
Leather boots
And Polaroid photoshoots
And oh my darling
I’ve been waiting here for you
All the time I wait I don’t know what to do about it
If you would walk
Through my door
The way ya done
Once before
With ya bags
You’re my tangerine
I would never let you leave again
And oh my darling
I’ve been waiting here for you
All the time I wait I don’t know what to do about it
Do about it
Do about it
Oh
And oh my darling
I been waiting here for you
All the time I wait I don’t know what to do about it
Do about it
Do about it
Oh

She's Gonna Be Happy

She’s Gonna Be Happy
You can't stop the days that pass
No matter how you try
If you don’t admit whats real
She’ll never sympathize
You could stay this confident but
She’s much too cool to cry
You’ve got something to lose
You could fill a shelf with books
You could make a million plans
You could use up all the paint
You could crush a thousand cans
Don't tell her how you feel
Your dreams are paralized
You’ve got something to prove
Cos she’s gonna be happy
She’s gonna be somewhere
She's gonna be smiling
Back at somebody new
She's gonna be dancing
She’s gonna be healing
She’s gonna be leaving
If you don’t make your move
When you learn to live within
You better learn to live without
It doesn't matter where you’ve been
Or whatever it is you're all about
Take it from someone who knows
It’ll happen every time
And your work is cut out for you
Cos you could
Make a scene with someone else
Just watch her roll her eyes
Make a joke at her expense
Or even try just bein kind
You’re as good as a mistake
If ya don’t say what’s on your mine
You’ve got something to lose buddy
She’s gonna be happy
She’s gonna be somewhere
She's gonna be smiling
Back at somebody new
She's gonna be dancing
She’s gonna be healing
She’s gonna be leaving
If you don’t make your move
She’s gonna be happy
She’s gonna be somewhere
She's gonna be smiling
Back at somebody new
She's gonna be dancing
She’s gonna be healing
She’s gonna be leaving
If you don’t make your move
She’s gonna be happy
She’s gonna be happy
Mmm mmm
She’s gonna be happy
Yeah, alright
She’s gonna be
Gonna be loved
She’s gonna be
Gonna be loved
(she’s gonna be happy)
She’s gonna be
Gonna be loved
She’s gonna be
Gonna be loved
She’s gonna be happy

So Many Things

So Many Things
First thing when you wake up
What's on your mind?
And if you can't sleep
Do you leave on the light?
And what is the brand of soap that you use?
Do you wear pajamas
Or sleep in the nude?
Oh there’s so many things I’d like to know about you
It could take a lifetime
Oh there’s so many things I’d like to know about you
And it could take a lifetime
Like do you have fears that nobody knows?
Do you use the ground or do you hang up your clothes?
Does weather like this make you more sad or happy?
Do you sing the ocean or do you sing the sea?
Oh there’s so many things I’d like to know about you
It could take a lifetime
With so many things I’d like to know about you
it could take a lifetime
Sometimes the light just disappears
Sometimes I try but can't make tears
Sometimes it feels like a million years
I’ve been betting it’ll get better
Better
Better
There’s so many things I’d like to know about you
And it could take a lifetime
Oh, there’s so many things I’d like to know about you
Well it could take a lifetime
It could take a lifetime
