honest mistake

people
they don't mean a thing to you
they move right through you
just like your breath
but sometimes
i still think of you
and I just wanted to
just wanted you to know
my old friend...
i swear i never meant for this
i never meant...

don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
an honest mistake

sometimes
i forget i'm still awake
i fuck up and say these things out loud

my old friend...
i sweat i never meant for this
i never meant...

don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
an honest mistake

don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
don't look at me that way
it was an honest mistake
an honest mistake

rites of spring

you’re the woman who made me a man
you're the woman who made me a man
i was down you taught me to stand
you're the woman who made me...

i was made up of nothing
you put something inside
you opened my chest
and put that hurt in my eyes
now i’ve got pain that i can turn to
when i wonder if i’m still alive

i was dead in the water (dead in the water)
i was dead in the water
that left me dead in the water (dead in the water)
i was dead in the water

you’re the woman who made me a man
you're the woman who made me a man
i was down you taught me to stand
you're the woman who made me a man

i was made up of nothing
you put your hands on my heart
stained your fingers inside me
and you took me apart

i was dead in the water (dead in the water)
i was dead in the water
that left me dead in the water (dead in the water)
i was dead in the water

you’re the woman who made me a man
you're the woman who made me a man
i was down you taught me to stand
you're the woman who made me a man

you’re the woman who made me a man
you're the woman who made me a man
i was down you taught me to stand
you're the woman who made me a man

you’re the woman who made me a man
you're the woman that made me who i am
everything i’ve got i got it from you

the ring song

me and the ocean
me and the sea
i don't think so
i don't think it was meant to be
take me off, somewhere cold
gradually just growing old
and someday maybe make of me an honest man

yeah
well, i don't see no ring on these fingers
i don't see no ring on these fingers
life in this town, it's like a joke
i must have had fun, cause now i'm broke

down by the ocean
oh by the sea
all these people
they look so, they look so happy to me

what if all, i want end in this world
turned out just to be an honest girl
turned out just to make of me an honest man

oh yeah
well, i don't see no ring on these fingers

life in this town, it's like a joke
i must have had fun, cause now i'm broke

i don't see no ring on these fingers
i don't see no ring on these fingers
life in this town, makes it hard to see
things that aren't right in front of me

oh yeah
ba ba ba bada, ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba bada, ba ba ba ba

in this town, it's like a joke
i must have had fun, cause now i'm broke
i'm blind in this town, it's hard to see
things that aren't right in front of me

unconditional

i've spent my whole life surrounded
and i've spent my whole life alone
i wonder why i never wonder why
the easiest things are so hard
i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want something
something for nothing
something, something for nothing

i'm a beggar and i'm a chooser
i'm accused, i'm an accuser
but nothing's unconditional

i hold the whole world accused
i've only got myself to blame
i wonder why, i never wonder why
the easiest things are so hard

i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want something
something for nothing
something, something for nothing

i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want, i just want love
i just want something
something for nothing
something, something for nothing

i'm a beggar and i'm a chooser
i'm accused, i'm an accuser
but nothing's unconditional

swollen summer

downtown in the shade
staring at the sunshine in my face
telling me to come and hide, come and play
i'm telling you the sun never goes away
and all i do is talk, talk, talk away
i'm laughing my life away
i'm staring at the sun again
till everything's fading

it's like a swollen summer
what if i’m getting dumber?
what if i’m just in denial?
what if they come and cop my style?

downtown in the clear
all i know is nothing ever changes here
and i know there’s no excuse and no defence
but my summertime never ends
and all i do is talk, talk, talk away
i'm laughing my life away
i'm staring at the sun again
till everything's fading

it's like a swollen summer
what if i’m getting dumber?
what if i’m just in denial?
what if they come and cop my style?

it's like a swollen summer
what if i’m getting dumber?
what if i’m just in denial?
what if they come and cop my style?

swollen summer

tyrant

everytime you come around
there's a bouquet for me
a corsage of promises
and i am pinned
like a butterfly on a card
i'm naked and i'm scarred
and you're so perfect to me

violent ties with hands like a steeple
tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
i let the words shot down my throat
a face like an iron fist
that i can never resist
i learn it all by rote

words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

i'm stuck just like a pig
roasting in your eyes
i'll believe anything that you want
you gotta teach me how to live
cause you make me wanna die
you took it all, now you're all i've got

words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

there's noises in my head
just noises in my head
if i could i'd drown them all out
i'd bury all of these noises
from your tyrant mouth

you're just a noise in my head
you're just a noise in my head
i'll drown you out
and i'll bury all the noises
from your hateful little mouth

words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
words of wisdom
words of wisdom
words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
yeah...

fearless

too many fingers, too many thumbs
something wicked this way comes
the best time i've ever had
waiting around for something bad
fearless, fearless, ohh
and i know that's why you love me
fearless, fearless, come on
and i know that's why you love me, chica
and i know that's why you love me, chica
and i know that's why you love me, chica

oh, so fearless
oh

this is what it's all about
take me in and eat me out
pins and needles in my arms
oh yes, your lucky charms

fearless, fearless, ohh
and i know that's why you love me
fearless, fearless, come on
and i know that's why you love me
fearless, fearless, ohh
and i know that's why you love me, chica
and i know that's why you love me, chica
and i know that's why you love me, chica

oh, so fearless
oh, yeah

no brakes

no brakes this time
i slit the line
but if you want me, it's cool
you can take me for a fool
i could slow down if you want me to
but just for you, just for you, just for you...

carry me home, put me to bed!
leave me alone, it's all in my head!
it's out of my hands, over the wheel
my only chance, my only appeal

what if you're here to save me from this?
if i disappear will i be missed?
i never know what i should do
can i leave it up to you?

no brakes, it's true
no brakes, just you
something to move me instead
of this rolodex in my head

i never meant anything i said
when i see red, i see red, i see red...

carry me home, put me to bed!
leave me alone, it's all in my head!
it's out of my hands, over the wheel
my only chance, my only appeal

what if you're here to save me from this?
if i disappear will i be missed?
i never know what i should do
can i leave it up to you?

can i leave it up to you?
