What It Is
03:55
|

You’re not my type
I’m not yours
You’re open window
And I’m a closed door
You’re so optimistic
I can’t see why
You think you can fix it
When I just wanna cry
Once we get over what it’s never going to be like, what it is all right
You hate my favorite dress
The one I always wear
I wish that even one time
You might shave and fix your hair
Sometimes I just don’t listen
You talk anyway
Some days I just don’t get it
Maybe that’s okay
Once we get over what it’s never going to be like, what it is all right
Meet me in the middle
Where what it is, is what it is
And what we are is beautiful
You’re not my type
I’m not yours
We don’t care anymore
Once we get over what it’s never gonna be like, what it is, is alright

Tell Me Who
04:35
|
|||
Studied all the gospels
Prophets and apostles
Never found what I was looking for
Therapy I tried it
Took the drugs to fight it
Messed me up more than I was before
I've been round and round
I've been up then down
Don’t want to keep on picking myself up off the ground
So tell me…
Who
Can show me where to go
And tell me what to do
So who
Can someone let me know?
And show me where to go
So tell me who
Starting meditating
Found it so frustrating
I just wound sleeping on the floor
Tried the Four Agreements
Read about Mars and Venus
Wish I wasn’t Codependent No More
Seen all the psychics and the sages
Read the wisdom of the ages
So damn tired of searching the same old used up places
So tell me…
Who
Can show me where to go
And tell me what to do
So who
Can someone let me know?
And show me where to go
So tell me who
I don’t know what’s worse
Staying lost in the search
Or finding out the answer
I know it’s up to me
But I don’t want it to be
And I’m back to where I started
So tell me…
Who
Can show me where to go
And tell me what to do
So who
Can someone let me know
And show me where to go
So tell me who

Stand Up
04:05
|
|||
Don’t believe what you read in those magazines
Don’t believe what you see on your TV screen
Only smoke and mirrors lie in between
They’re just remnants of an old regime
And I know, oh girl I know
You can, stand up
Rise up
Look at me, I’ll change history
We can stand up, rise up
We’ll make history yeah, yeah
Stand up don’t you see
It takes you and me
There’s a girl I know she’s only 17
They told her to shrink so she could be seen
There’s a woman who cuts with a blade that’s real
It’s the only way she can feel
And I know, oh yes I know
She can, stand up
Rise up
Look at me, I’ll change history
We can stand up, rise up
We’ll make history yeah, yeah
Stand up don’t you see
It’s your destiny
I am here I’m alive
And so much more than meets the eye
I once was lost but now I’m found
No matter where I’ll stake my ground
Hear my voice; see my face, this life of mine I will embrace
Stand up
Rise up
Look at me, I’ll change history
We can stand up, rise up
We’ll change history yeah, yeah
Stand up don’t you see
It’s takes you and me
It’s our destiny

Black and Blue
03:19
|

There was a time I didn't know you
There was a time I didn't care for you
I hope someday you'll just be a mystery
A shadow that falls on my sunny day
Just when it's calm and clear
Just when I lose my fear
Suddenly you appear
I feel a storm coming in
I'm like a rag-doll in the wind
You knock me out I'm torn in two
Black and blue
Just out of reach faded and unseen
Deep underneath still got a hold on me
Step into my head, an unwelcomed stranger
Wakes from his sleep and pulls me away
Just when it's calm and clear
Just as I lose my fear
Suddenly you appear
I feel a storm coming in
I'm like a rag-doll in the wind
You knock me out I'm torn in two
Black and blue…
…skies
Always on the outside
Nothing staring back at you
Black and blue
There is nothing I can do
Black and blue
I feel a storm coming in
I'm like a rag-doll in the wind
You knock me out I'm torn in two
I feel a storm coming in
I'm like a rag-doll in the wind
You knock me out I'm torn in two
Black and blue

I Lied
03:39
|
|||
When we met we were too young, just
Two stupid kids what had we done
I tried to be the girl I should have been
Tried to keep us safe ‘til the end
But I lied, oh how I tried to
I lied oh how I tried to
But it didn’t work
But it didn’t work
So then we spent the next fifteen years, I
Tried to force a smile through the tears, oh
Did you know how trapped I was, and
You never let me up because
I lied oh how I tried to,
I lied oh how I tried to
But it didn’t work, no no
But it didn’t work
So now you see why I told you I was fine dear and
Now you see why I told you I would never hurt you, and
Everything…everything will be alright…

A Little More
04:05
|
|||
Another empty lonely night I’m restless
Every moment magnifies the distance
In the ashes of what used to be
Just a fading memory
Afraid my life is leaving you behind
I wish we had the time
So I could have the chance to say goodbye
But as the rivers flows
I have to let you go
Every day I let you go
A little more
Still believe you’ll answer when I call home
I can’t delete your messages from my phone
I can see your face so clear smiling at me in the mirror
It’s little comfort that you’re gone
I wish we had the time
So I could have the chance to say goodbye
But as the rivers flows
I have to let you go
Every day I let you go
A little more
A little more…
A little more…
A little more…
A little more…
I wish we had the time
So I could have the chance to say goodbye
But as the rivers flows
Every day I let you go
I don’t want to let you go
I have to let you go a little more

We'll Learn
04:01
|

I envy that funny walking dog
He don't seem to mind
Don’t care where it is he's going to
He’s just taking his sweet time
Me I worry too much
About things I cannot change
Let’s try to make a little sweet, sweet luck
And maybe make a few mistakes
We’ll learn how to live
Stumbling as we go
We’ll learn how to love
Listening to the radio
We could find a fortuneteller
And see what's hidden in our cards
But I don't want to shine a light into the future
Way more fun here in the dark
We’ll learn how to live
Stumbling as we go
We’ll learn how to love
Listening to the radio
All you need is love, love, love, love
All you need is love, love, love, love
All you need is love, love, love, love
We’ll learn how to live
Stumbling as we go
We’ll learn how to love
Listening to the radio
We’ll learn how to live
Stumbling as we go
We’ll learn how to love
Listening to the radio
Listening to the radio
Listening to the radio
All you need is love, love, love, love
All you need is love, love, love, love
All you need is love, love, love, love

Evelyn
02:34
|

I was 17 when I moved to Santa Monica
A broken house a broken street
A lady up the hall
Lived above me with brown eyes
So were mine brown eyes
We had that in common
She was happy with nothing in her
Pocket I could learn from
Evelyn
She’s famous but you'll never know
Evelyn
Won’t win a medal for
Anything
She never wanted more
Than the life
That she's living
Evelyn
I was walkin’ down the street
With my little dog Montana
There was Evelyn
Planting
Flowers in the deep sand
All the world's crazy yeah
But Evelyn's amazing
She believes that heaven
Can be found in the simple things
There’s something I could learn from
Evelyn
She’s famous but you'll never know
Evelyn
Won’t win a medal for
Anything
She never wanted more
Than the life
That she's living
Evelyn
Evelyn
won't win a medal for
anything
she never wanted more
than the life
that she's living
Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn,

Had It All
03:39
|

Time moves alone,
It keeps ticking on forever,
But I can’t wait that long
So before my time is through,
I will make a difference,
If it's the last thing I do
Have I climbed so high,
I won't survive the fall
Have I loved too much,
With no guarantee at all
Cause on that day
They write my name in stone
I want the world to know
I had it all
Some, some may say,
Only fools and dreamers,
Think they get their way
But I'll find my way,
Follow the moonlight,
Be the first to greet the day
Have I climbed so high,
I won't survive the fall
Have I loved too much,
With no guarantee at all
Cause on that day
They write my name in stone
I want the world to know
I had it all
Have I climbed so high,
I won't survive the fall
Have I loved too much,
With no guarantee at all
Cause on that day
They write my name in stone
I want the world to know
I had, I had, I had it all

Another Perfect You
04:24
|
|||
So here I go again
It’s not you but I’ll pretend
At least it’s something I can feel
At least this way it’s not the end
If I try maybe I could find a replacement
We’re together I can almost taste it
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
Keep on lying, justifying I’m in trouble
I’ll just fake it with your body double
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
I can feel you in his skin
Close my eyes invite you in
I don’t even want to know
Where he ends and you begin
If I try maybe I could find a replacement
We’re together I can almost taste it
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
Keep on lying, justifying I’m in trouble
I’ll just fake it with your body double
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
I’m in your arms again
I feel you breathe again
Your lips are on my skin
I’m your heroine
The need numbs the pain
I’m on my knees again
If I try maybe I could find a replacement
We’re together I can almost taste it
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
Keep on lying, justifying I’m in trouble
I’ll just fake it with your body double
It’s my escape into
Another perfect you
So here I go again

Underneath
05:13
|
|||
Innocently, I invited you in.
I guess I mistook your evil grin
You walked right past me,
Made yourself at home,
Then asked if I was all alone
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
So beware of what lies underneath
There’s no way I’ll let you conquer me
I’ll tear and rip you apart
So beware of what lies underneath
I feel your nails dig,
Into my skin,
I know right now
This could be the end
I fight hard and
You take me down
Don’t look so surprised
I’m still around.
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
So beware of what lies underneath
There’s no way I’ll let you conquer me
I’ll tear and rip you apart
So beware of what lies underneath
I feel your spirit rise up in the air
Keep my head up high, say a little prayer
We both know only one of us could win
I finally feel my life can begin again
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
But you should know I’m stronger than I seem
So beware of what lies underneath
There’s no way I’ll let you conquer me
I’ll tear and rip you apart
So beware of what lies underneath
