"This Love"
I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But
always in my heart
This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is
breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep
her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel
the same
Then turn around and leave again
This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times
before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
"Comfortable"
I
just remembered, that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down, isle 5
you
looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave.
Can't
remember, what went wrong last September
thiugh i'm sure that you'd remind me, if you had to
Our love was, comfortable
and
so broken in
I sleep with this new girl i'm still getting used to
my friends all approve, say she's gonna
be good for you
they throw me, high fives
She says the bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use
profanity
your mouth was, so dirty
Life of the party
and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish
Miles
from Coltrane
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
or so they say, say
She
thinks I can't see the smile that she's fakin'
and poses for pictures that are being taken
I loved you
grey sweat
pants, no makeup, so perfect
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
I'm not
impressed, I want you back.
"3x5"
I'm writing you to
catch you up on places I've been
You
held this letter
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it
didn't have a camera by my side this time
hopping
I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way with
words
Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are
next to mountains anyway
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe
I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise
with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's Guess you
had to be there
Guess you had to be with me Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe
I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
lose my way but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise with
your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
no more 3x5's
just no more 3x5's
"Somewhere i belong"
When this began I had nothing to say
I get lost in the nothing thats
inside of me (I was confused)
I let it all out to find that Im not the only person with these things in mind (inside of
me)
Well I dont think they can see the words reveal
This is the only real thing I got left to feel (nothing to lose)
Just luck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fall is just my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel,
what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of all the pain I felt so (release all the pain til its gone)
I wanna
heal, I wanna feel, like Im close to something real
I wanna find something I wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And
I got nothing to say
I cant believe I didnt fall right down on my face (I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to
find
That its not the way I imagined it all in my mind (So I implied)
Do I have the negativity?
Cause I cant justify
my way when everyone is looking at me (nothing to lose)
Nothing but game, how I went along
And the fault is my own,
and the fall is just my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, what I thought was never real
I wanna let you off the
day I felt so (release all the pain til its gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, like Im close to something real
I wanna
find something I wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And
I will never feel, anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never make anything until I break away from me
I
will break away, and find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, what I thought was never real
I wanna let go
of the pain I felt so
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, like Im close to something real
I wanna find something I wanted
all along
Somewhere I belong, Somewhere I belong
"Bubble Toes"
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are as big
as her
bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards and her feet are all
covered with tar balls and scars
It's as common as something that nobody knows that her beauty will
follow wherever she goes
up the hill in the
back of her house in the would she love me forever,
I know she could
I remember when you and me mmm how we used
to be just good friends
Wouldn't give me none
But all I wanted was some
She's got a whole lot of reasons
She
cant think of a single one
That can justify leaving
and he got none but he thinks he got so many problems
Man
he got, too much time to waste
His dreams are like commercials
But her dreams are picture perfect and
Our
dreams are so related though they're often underestimated
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her
eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
And her feet are infested with
tar balls and
La da da da da da
Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G.
When this little girl came and
she sat next to me
I never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again
When
you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
It's as common as something that nobody knows it
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
Up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
She'll love me forever,
I know she
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
If you
would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
It's as simple as something
that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
And her feet are infested with tar balls and
"Fortunate Fool"
She's got it all figured
out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her,
Or sings songs without her
She's just so
mmm
She knows the world is just her stage
And so she'll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave
her
Man, they practically made her
Into a mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven
foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate
fool
She's just so mmm
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody
doubts her
Or sings songs about her
She's just so mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about it
So maybe we shouldn't talk about
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate
fool
She's just so mmm
"play tha funky music whiteboy"
Yeah, There was a funky singer, playin' in a rock & roll band
And never had no problems, yeah, burnin' down one
night stands
And everything around me, yeah, got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly (yes I did), to disco
down and check out the show
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky
music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die,
Till you die, oh till you die
Hey
wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky, I thought
I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (its so much better), I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never
lose that feelin' (no I won't) of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to
the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play
that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die,
Till you die, oh till you die
They shouted play that funky music, Play that funky music
Play that funky music,
gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music (fade)
