My eyes are so bleary
I guess I'm young but I feel so weary
I've tried to express it
But I think Its all a bore
Its at the heart of me,
A very part of me


Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
And the rain in my head,
and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
But I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle for two


Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind Keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
And the rain in my head,
and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
and its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
but I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle of two

I had some brand-new shoes
They were all red, but they gave me the blues
And they're running away, they left me a letter

It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all

We are all made of air
There's stars in my eyes, and there's sun in my hair
And I'm running away, it makes me feel better

It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all

When it comes down to this
I'm neither sorry, nor cross, nor I'm fit
And I'm running away, there's smoke on my sweater

It's just like you told me it'd be
It's nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing at all

I’m all outta luck but what else could I be?
I know he’s yours and he`ll never belong to me again.
I did him wrong.
So don’t brag,
Keep it to yourself.
I did him wrong.
I was never no, never no, never enough,
But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
I listened when they told me
If he burns you, let him go.
Change is hard, I should know.
I should know.
I should know.

So I`ll keep my head down
If you keep it quiet from now on.
In the halls I’d rather hear silence than the bell of new love.
So don’t brag,
Keep it to yourself.
I did him wrong.
I was never no, never no, never enough,
But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
I listened when they told me
If he burns you, let him go.
Change is hard, I should know.
I should know.
I should know.
I should know.

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

You told me I was the neatest thing
You even asked me to wear your ring
You ran around with every girl in town
You didn't even care if it got me down

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
Because all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven't been around since way last June

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

Gonna get along without you now

So long my honey goodbye my dear

Saw your face,
My hand you took
Just like in a story book,
And you got me
Yeah, you‘ve got me

I can’t even argue
Couldn’t cause its true
Now, you’ve got me
Yeah, you’ve got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
‘Cause I locked it
Yeah, I locked it

I can feel your heartbeat,
Where I lay my head
‘Cause you’ve got me
Yeah you’ve got me

I can feel your heartbeat,
Where I lay my head
‘Cause you’ve got me,
Yeah, you’ve got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
‘Cause I locked it,
Yeah, I locked it

California is a great big nation of one
They never knew what they wanted till it was already gone
What do they do with the light in the morning when they wake up alone?

They just go home
They just go home

You're the nicest, nicest boy I've ever met, and then
I think about you, then I think about you again
And again
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile

I could be your state, and I could be your nation
It doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
Doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet, and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home

I want to see you with the light in the morning
There's never been such a beautiful morning to me, to me
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile

I could be your state, and I could be your nation
It doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
Doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet, and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home

I should have known better
With a guy like you
That I would love everything
That you do and I do, hey, hey, hey and I do

Whoa whoa, I never realized
What a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can`t you see, can`t you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You`re gonna say you love me too, oh oh
And when I ask you to be mine, I hope
You`re gonna say you love me too

Whoa whoa, I never realized
What a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can`t you see, can`t you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You`re gonna say you love me too
Oh and when I ask you to be mine, I hope
You`re gonna say you love me too

You love me too
You love me too
You love me too
You love me too
You love me too

I thought
I saw your face today
But I just
Turned my face away
Your face
Against the trees
But I just see
The memories
As they come
As they come
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
No I couldn't help
But full in love again


I saw it gitter
As I grew
And loved it
boy, I never knew
I thought this place
Was heaven sent
But now
It's just a monument
In my mind
In my mind
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
No I couldn't help
But fall in love again


The cars and freeways
That pull me to stay away
Out of this place
My mother said
Just keep your head
And play it as it plays


The cars and freeways
That pull me
To stay away
Out of this place
My mother said
Just keep your head
And play it as it plays


I somehow see
What's beautiful in things
That are ephemeral
I'm my only friend , am I?
Love is just
A piece of time
In your world
In the world


And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
And I couldn't hellp
But fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But I fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But I fall in love again

I was takin` a walk
When I saw you pass by
I thought I saw you lookin` my way
So I thought I`d give you a try

When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true
So I asked you, maybe
Baby whatcha gonna do?

`Cause I have been waitin` for a long, long time
For a boy like you
I won`t be waitin` any more cause I know
Baby, baby
I was made for you

It's hard to be ignore
When I look at you
you look so bored
My baby my darling
I've been taking a beating

Well alright well alright
It's okay It's okay
We all get the slip
sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself
in the sun

It's hard to take the blame
When I look at you
you're so ashamed
My baby my darling
I've been thinking Of leaving

Well alright well alright

We all get the slip
sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself
