MY LIFE'S SOUNDTRACK

~SHE WILL BE LOVED

Beauty queen of only eighteen...she had some trouble with herself. He was always there to help her. She always belonged to someone else. I drove for miles and miles--and wound up at your door. I've had you so many times but somehow~I want more.

I don't mind spending everyday...out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile--ask her if she wants to stay awhile. And she will be loved...she will be loved.

Tap on my window knock on my door...I want to make you feel beautiful. I know I tend to get insecure, it doesn't matter anymore. It's not always rainbows and butterflies...it's compromise that moves us along. My heart is full and my door's always open--you can come anytime you want.

I don't mind spending everyday...out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile--ask her if she wants to stay awhile. And she will be loved...she will be loved.

I know where you hide...alone in your car...know all of the things that make you who you are...I know that goodbye means nothing at all. Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls...

~IT'S YOU

If tomorrow never comes...I would want just one thing. I would tell it to the stars and the sun. I would write it for the world to see. And it's you...the light changes when you're in the room. Oh it's you...oh it's you...

If tomorrow never comes...I would want just one wish. To kiss your quiet mouth...and trace the steps with my finger tips. And it's you...the light changes when you're in the room...Oh it's you. Oh it's you...oh it's you...

Oh it's you...oh it's you. Oh, oh it's you...oh it's you...

~I THINK GOD CAN EXPLAIN

There's a lot of things I understand. And there's a lot of things I don't want to know. But you're the only face I recognize...it's so damn sweet of you to look me in the eyes...

It's all right, I'm okay. I think God can explain. I believe I'm the same, I get carried away. It's all right, I'm okay. I think God can explain. I'm relieved, I'm relaxed...I'll get over it yet.

The scent of Vaseline in the summertime. The feel of an ice cube melting over time...the world seems bigger than both of us. Yet it seems so small...when I begin to cry.

It's all right, I'm okay. I think God can explain. I believe I'm the same, I get carried away. It's all right, I'm okay. I think God can explain. I'm relieved, I'm relaxed...I'll get over it yet. I'm so much better than you guessed. I'm so much bigger than you guessed. I'm so much brighter than you guessed. I think God can explain.

~FALL

I close my eyes...thought I was lost but I was stranded. I go outside...to my surprise the sky had landed. I thought it made more sense if I could only keep you guessing...I was a fool to think that I should stop you from undressing. Now I'm believing all the words you say...that I can't say back to you...but so you can.

So I fall...I don't wanna feel this small. You know I just can't handle this...handle this at all. And I'll just fall...I'll let my heartbeat drop..I falter as the music stops...and you watch me as I stall...and wonder when I fall.

I kiss your neck...I feel you breathing on my shoulder...still I'm perfect. It must be you cause now it's over. I was so close...that was the most that I have ever been through. Now, old cassettes and cigarettes, will be the ones to save you. How can you ask for me to stay...when all you ever do is go?

JUST GO.

Go on...you can't be waiting. Go on...and watch me as I fall...

~PUNK ROCK PRINCESS

Maybe when the room is empty, maybe when the bottle's full, maybe when the door gets broke down...love can break in. Maybe when I'm done with thinking, maybe you can think me whole, maybe when I'm done with endings...this can begin.

If you could be my punk rock princess I would be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in and how you're 'gonna be something.

Maybe when your hair gets darker, maybe when your eyes get wide, maybe when the walls are smaller there will be more space. Maybe when I'm not so tired, maybe you could step inside, maybe when I look for things that I can't replace...

If you could be my punk rock princess I would be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in and how you're 'gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache I would do it over again. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your heroine. I never though you'd last, I never dreamed you would. You watch your life go past, you wonder if you should...

If you could be my punk rock princess I would be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in and how you're 'gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache I would do it over again. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your heroine.

Whoa Ohhhh, you know, you only burn my bridges, whoa ohhhh, you know, you just can't let it sink in, you could be my heroine--you could be my heaven.

~YOU DON'T SEE ME

This is the place where I sit...this is the part where I love you too much. Is this as hard as it gets, 'cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough. I'm here if you want me. I'm yours, you can hold me. I'm empty and aching and tumbling and breaking...

'Cause you don't see me...and you don't need me. And you don't love me...the way I wish you would. The way I know you could.

I dream a world where you understand...that I dream a million sleepless nights...I dream of fire when you’re touching my hand, but it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights. I’m speechless and faded--it's too complicated. Is this how the book ends? Nothing but good friends?

This is the place in my heart--this is the place where I’m falling apart. Isn’t this just where we met? And is this the last chance that I’ll ever get? I wish I was lonely...instead of just only--crystal and see-through and not enough to you.

'Cause you don't see me...and you don't need me. And you don't love me...the way I wish you would. 'Cause you don't see me...and you don't need me. And you don't love me...the way I wish you would...the way I know you could...
