I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife And if it was an open-shut case I never would've known from that look on your face Lost in your current like a priceless wine |
The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man |
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind Head on the pillow I could feel you sneakin' in As if you were a mythical thing Like you were a trophy or a champion ring But there was one prize I'd cheat to win |
The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man |
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind They count me out time and time again Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind But I come back stronger than a '90s trend |
Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark Show me the places where the others gave you scars Now this is an open-shut case I guess I should'a known from the look on your face Every bait-and-switch was a work of art |
The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man |
Hey, that's my man That's my man Yeah, that's my man Baby, every bait-and-switch was a work of art That's my man Hey, that's my man I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man |
Musically and lyrically Red resembled a heart-broken person It was all over the place A fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end Happy, free, confused, lonely devastated, euphoric, wild And tortured by memories past These are the original thirty songs that were meant for Red I love you guys |
[chorus 1:] Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? |
Maybe I should've seen the signs, Should've read the writing on the wall. And realized by the distance in your eyes That I would be the one to fall. No matter what you say, I still can't believe That you would walk away. It don't make sense to me, but: |
[repeat chorus 1:] Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? |
It's not unbroken anymore. How do I get it back the way it was before? |
[chorus 2:] Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break a: |
[repeat chorus 1:] Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? |
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me Cause I'm still trying to figure it out Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking Trying to see through the rain coming down Even though I'm not the only one Who feels the way I do |
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world |
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine Could you tell me what more do I need And tomorrow's just a mistery oh yeah But that's ok |
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world |
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission But I'm ready to fly |
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world |
Oh I'm just a girl oh I'm just a girl oh oh oh I'm just a girl |
I blew things out of proportion Now you're blue Put you in jail for something you didn't do I pinned your hands behind your back, oh Thought I had reason to attack, but no |
Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say |
Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow |
It's so excruciating to see you low Just wanna lift you up and not let you go This ultraviolet morning light below Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh |
I lived like an island, punished you in silence Went off like sirens, just crying Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It's on your face, don't walk away, I need to say |
Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow |
Tell me that you're still mine Tell me that we'll be just fine Even when I lose my mind I need to say Tell me that it's not my fault Tell me that I'm all you want Even when I break your heart I need to say |
Hey, it's all me, in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh) I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh) I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow |
The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss, the way you cry, The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me |
Once I thought that love was something I could never do Never knew that I could feel this much But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you Is more than a reaction to your touch It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough |
The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss, the way you cry, The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me |
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows That never knocked me off my feet All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go And baby it's no mystery why I surrender Girl you got everything |
The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss, the way you cry, The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me |
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on |
The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss, the way you cry, The way you move when you walk by There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me |
The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive |
The way you talk, the way you tease Right now I think you see There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me |
I wake up, stretch out I wonder what you're doing right now Yeah I slept in my makeup again Tell myself I must be crazy thinking about him I find myself something decent to wear Take the towel out of my hair About that time you call me I'm reminded without you I'd be |
A stranger in an all night diner Waiting for her love to find her Lonely like a harbor line That's never seen a boat Just like a line in an old letter No one ever wrote |
I go to work, work all day I want a tape recorder for everything you say Walk to the car, dig out my keys Start thinking if you were with anyone but me |
I'd be a stranger in an all night diner Waiting for her love to find her Lonely like a harbor line That's never seen a boat Just like a line in an old letter No one ever wrote |
There you are on the street Standing there waiting on me I show you my new shoes You say you love them Baby, without you |
I'd be a stranger in an all night diner Waiting for her love to find her Lonely like a harbor line That's never seen a boat Just like a line in an old letter No one ever wrote |
I wake up, stretch out Wonder what you're doing right now.... |
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold But something 'bout it felt like home somehow And I left my scarf there at your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer, even now Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days |
And I know it's long gone and That magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all Oh, oh, oh |
'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well |
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You tell me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me And you were tossing me the car keys, fuck the patriarchy Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was 'Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame |
And I know it's long gone and There was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed to |
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there I remember it all too well And there we are again when nobody had to know You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath Sacred prayer, and we'd swear To remember it all too well, yeah |
Maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'Til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again Just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all |
They say all's well that ends well But I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine And that made me want to die The idea you had of me, who was she? A never needing ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened you, that's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" |
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known |
It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there You remember it all Down the stairs, you were there You remember it all It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well |
And I was never good at telling jokes but the punch line goes I'll get older but your lovers stay my age From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? Cause in this city's barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell, I remember it all too well |
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well? Just between us, do you remember it all too well? Just between us, I remember it (Just between us) all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it |

People like you always want back The love they gave away And people like me wanna believe you When you say you've changed |
The more I think about it now The less I know All I know is that you drove us Off the road |
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was Stay, had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go And lock me out, when I let you in |
(Stay) Hey, now you see you want it Back, now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was stay |
All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay |
Here you are now, calling me up But I don't know what to say I've been picking up the pieces Of the mess you made |
People like you always want back The love they pushed aside People like me are gone forever When you say goodbye |
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was Stay, had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go And lock me out, when I let you in |
(Stay) Hey, now you see you want it Back, now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was stay |
All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay |
Let me remind you This was what you wanted (You ended it) You were all I wanted (But not like this) |
Not like this, not like this Oh, all you had to do was |

Sometimes I wonder how's it gonna feel Will my first love be true and real Will I be ready when my heart starts to fall What will I do when my love comes to call And my daddy tells me that I light up his world Everday he says, "Darlin you're my best girl." He tried to teach me from the very start The meaning of love so nobody breaks my heart |
(Chorus) Will my love come in a bowl of fire Will it be filled with hope and desire Will my love come in the pourin rain Am I ready for the joy Am I ready for the pain Am I ready for the boy Am I ready for love....for love |
I know I'm not a little girl anymore Cause I'm feelin things I've never felt before Sweet sensations and anticipations Calling commotion to my emotions And I hear the words my daddy said to me He said be true to yourself and keep your spirit free And love will find you one way or another Be good to yourself and be good to eachother |
(Chorus) Will my love come in a bowl of fire Will it be filled with hope and desire Will my love come in the pourin rain Am I ready for the joy Am I ready for the pain Am I ready for the boy Am I ready for love....for love |
It's a run around the world and it's movin so fast Though I wanna find a love that's gonna last A love so strong that it can withstand The weight of this world in the palm of its hand |
(Chorus) Will my love come in a bowl of fire Will it be filled with hope and desire Will my love come in the pourin rain Am I ready for the joy Am I ready for the pain Am I ready for the boy Am I ready for the game Am I ready for the kiss Am I ready for the stars Am I ready for the bliss Am I ready for love....for love |
American boy, living life as it goes Sittin' on the fence posts Living in the lie American boy, living in the real world Trying just to get the girl Trying to survive |
