Besides

i think i've suddenly
gotten over it
no thanks to you
and your adorable face
i think i'll laugh about this
four or five years from now
i think i've suddenly
gotten over it somehow
besides you're far too tall for me
besides your voice is not quite deep enough
besides you knock me off my feet and oh
i'd rather be carried than tripped
i'd rather be loved than have my
heart ripped open
i think i'll liberate
the masses
tell them you're not worth
all the trouble you cause
pretend you miss me oh
pretend you know what this is about
i think i'll liberate
the masses so watch out
besides you're far too tall for me
besides your voice is not quite deep enough
besides you knock me off my feet and oh
i'd rather be carried than tripped
i'd rather be loved than have my
heart ripped open
besides you can't even sing
besides it bothers me you read so slow
besides you're everybody's dream and oh
i'd rather my dream be just mine
i'd rather have someone who can
be mine only

i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
and nobody in any of these other cars knows
somebody pumped all the oxygen
right out of the valley
and we've only got a couple days to live
funny the feeling in my chest is just the same
you tie knots in my lungs too
i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
everybody else leaves me full of holes
step on the gas and blow past
dirty bathrooms
we've only got a couple miles to go
funny i won't remember the sun in this place
you knock open my eyes too
i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
the hills are alive and i'm not
fighting the urge to hurry hurry home
i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
and here i am in your shadow again

dear los angeles dear dear
you are the stranger in my car
teach me to dream with the lights on
i didn't know we'd get along so well
where were we before they turned the lights on
oh i am skyline you are sky
without you i am nothing but straight lines
dear los angeles dear dear
how steely wide and wonderful you
learning to dance with my shades on
nobody sees so nobody will tell
l.a. the kid with the shades on
oh i am skyline you are sky
without you i am nothing but straight lines
l.a. the kid with the shades on
take the stairs with me
we have a city to see
los angeles i found you

If You Don't Mind

i work the fade you work the shine
they don't want your money they want your time
i'd rather walk if you don't mind
do you mind
i'll load the guns you hold the line
i happen to be very bad at goodbye
i'll have a go if you don't mind
do you mind
then i'll put this song over my head
to win you back
and you'll say baby baby we belong
knocking over hearts like banks
and running
i'll order out and you unwind
told you the weather would be divine
save me the best if you don't mind
do you mind
i am the words you be the spine
we can be dynamite when combined
just a bit late if you don't mind
do you mind
then i'll put this song over my head
to win you back
and you'll say baby baby we belong
knocking over hearts like banks
and running
we got it wrong
but i guess it's probably not our fault
i'll be the boss you be the mind
roll it down bleecker street meet me outside
table for two if you don't mind
do you mind
then i'll put this song over my head
to win you back
and you'll say baby baby we belong
knocking over hearts like banks
and running
we got it wrong
but i guess it's probably not our fault
then i'll put this song over my head
to win you back
and you'll say baby baby we belong
knocking over hearts like banks
and running

I Will Break Your Heart

if you give it to me
i will break it
i don't want to but i will
i can't be trusted
my little body is full of
rogue wave words
that will tear you apart
and leave no trace
if you are brave
if you stand on the rocks
i promise i will break your heart
i am trying to be
sorry
i anticipate the pain
you will feel worthless
you will never want to
blame it on me
you won't even say my name
this is not safe
if you are brave
if you stand on the rocks
i promise i will break your heart
it's not a game
and i don't win when i let go
but you lose
if you are brave
if you stand on the rocks
i promise i will break your heart

she's nice but she's not you
and she doesn't have a smell of her own
i think we would have laughed about
how nice it is of her to try, though
i wish you could've heard me sing
i wish you could've seen us dance
i wish we could go swimming in november
but i'm too old and you're gone
does anybody bring you flowers, lady?
i'm smart you would be proud
i go to school beside the ocean
i laugh and walk and smile like you
i'm worthless in the kitchen though
i wish you could've heard me sing
i wish you could've seen us dance
i wish we could go swimming in november
but i'm too old and you're gone
does anybody bring you flowers, lady?
i can't remember my keys
but i remember the january
you flew home
does anybody bring you flowers, lady?

Funny Thing

funny thing
funny thing
funny thing
i unhooked my heart for you
when i thought
i had kept everything
for my own
you crept in in the dark
and unwrapped all that i had hidden
you whispered in my ear and i let go
funny thing
funny thing
funny thing
i unhooked my heart for you
and i marched
off the edge believing
you'd be there
you'd be there to applaud
my resolve and my submission
be there like you're here
with me now
funny thing
funny thing
my funny thing
i unhooked my heart for you

would you open up your heart mouth
and let the voice out
let the voice out
let it hit the empty chairs
and stack up in the corners
stack up in the corners
and we will all go home
with pockets full of sound
if you'll open up your mouth
and let the voice out
the race is on when spring is gone
what's living in our heads will hit the paper
if i believed in half of me
they'd be getting more than what they paid for
would you open up your heart mouth
and let the voice out
let the voice out
let it hit the empty chairs
and stack up in the corners
stack up in the corners
and we will all go home
with pockets full of sound
if you'll open up your mouth
and let the voice out
tear it up so it makes the cut
and give yourself a pretty solo
don't respond and we'll move on
act like you know something I don't know
would you open up your heart mouth
and let the voice out
let the voice out
let it hit the empty chairs
and stack up in the corners
stack up in the corners
and we will all go home
with pockets full of sound
if you'll open up your mouth
and let the voice out
so they tied her to the fencepost and then what
does she ever come back down
would you open up your heart mouth
and let the voice out
let the voice out
let it hit the empty chairs
and stack up in the corners
stack up in the corners
and we will all go home
with pockets full of sound
if you'll open up your mouth
and let the voice out
