Last Night

Broken bottles of champagne
Hold memories of last night
Someone took a picture of me in the corner
As I muttered and swayed from side to side
And they asked me
To "please try
To be more like us, to be more like us,
To be more like you want to be here.
Why can't you, why can't you be more like us?"
I promise I've tried.
If it's an open invitation
Don't expect me to arrive.
It's far too much and far too soon to make commitments
So close but not quite
And they say
To "please try
To be more like us, to be more like us,
To be more like you want to be here.
Why can't you, why can't you be more like us?"
I apologize for last night
For last night
For last night
For last night

Making Trouble

Do I take up too much space?
Should my words all be erased
There is no room for a fight
As you call me to obey
I was good to you before
Living as a sounding board
Press my buttons, black my eyes
Now I settle the score
I am meant to be too much
It’s my turn to take the floor
I stopped making love and I started making trouble
As you lay here in my bed
I’m sorry you were so misled
Because my body’s not enough
For all the lies you have been fed
Lover’s touch and mother’s words
Darling don’t be so absurd
There is no peace between these legs
No matter how much you beg
I am meant to be too much
It’s my turn to take the floor
I stopped making love and I started making trouble
What do you think about that baby?
Do my harsh words hurt your ears?
Am I enough for you, my dear?
If you think I cared at all
Oh, you’d be so wrong
I’ve been soft and I’ve been kind
I’ve pretended that I don’t mind
And to be honest I don’t need to tell you why
This is my goodbye
I am meant to be too much
It’s my turn to take the floor
I stopped making love and I started making trouble
What do you think about that baby?

How It Goes
02:27

Where you go when you're alone
Pull down the blinds, unplug the phone
Who's that standing in the hall?
There's no one, no one at all.
There's no one, no one at all.
Where you go when you're at home
Living to the radio
What's the price of sanity?
It all seems quite fair to me
It all seems quite fair to me
Oh, I don't have to try
I don't have to know
I don't have to care about how it goes, no.
No one here to play these games
No one here to say my name
Lovely dark and solitude
When I look it's all the same
When I look it's all the same
Oh, I don't have to try
I don't have to know
I don't have to care about how it goes, no.
About how it goes

Effortless

How do you move like that?
Flowers in the breeze
Mesmerize my eyes
Your hands, petals wild and free
Even in your sleep
you dance,
Tulips kiss your feet
And they’re glad
Do you know you’ve cast the rest
In your shadow?
They tell me I should aspire to this
I say “I know”
Could I expect to ever walk
Right at your side?
Only if I grow.
And I mourn that I can’t
Were you just born like this?
Head in the clouds
Favored and full of empty bliss
Parting the crowd
Bubbles and floating birds must live
Inside your bones
But mine are made of glass and stone
And I mourn that I can’t
Live so effortlessly
Breathe so effortlessly
Exist so effortlessly
‘Cause I mourn what can’t be

Just A Feeling
04:17

A look in her eyes
The weight of her sighs
The way she asks me if I'll stay
No way to describe
The reasons we lie
It might just be the way we were raised
Breaking up my sense of time
Holding my eyes shut to the light
Facing out into the shadows of the night
It’s just a feeling and it’s all mine
A hint beyond
What took us so long
What kept us out on the fray
A deeper fear
There's nothing here
An empty move, fold hands to pray
Breaking up my sense of time
Holding my eyes shut to the light
Facing out into the shadows of the night
It’s just a feeling and it’s all mine
Breaking up my sense of time
Holding my eyes shut to the light
Facing out into the shadows of the night
It’s just a feeling and it’s all mine

To Be Loved
08:08

I hate not knowing
Where you go
If you’ll come home
How much you want from me
Am I crazy?
Too captivated?
Could you hate me
For how much I think of you?
Don’t leave me waiting
Don’t leave me waiting in the dark
Following you
Down the street
As the city sleeps
Am I going too far in this?
Maybe I should care
Not to cross that line
But Something in my mind
Says 'this is just fine'
Don’t leave me waiting
Don’t leave me waiting in the dark
Every time you walk away
Every time you walk away
Every time you walk away
I know I’ll never see you again
Don’t you wanna be loved?
Don’t you wanna be loved?
Don’t you like that I’m a little fucked up?
Don’t you wanna be loved?
Don’t you wanna be loved?
Don’t you like that I’m a little fucked up?
I don’t think you’ve had enough
And I have none to speak of
