Just slow me, slow me down
Slow me down, slow me down
We traveled for weeks
While he kissed me I kept my eyes open and tried to memorize the spacing of the house lights so I would never forget them.
Just to escape your demons
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be?
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
Rushing and racing, and running in circles
Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning, getting nowhere
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

I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
But you've got your reasons
In making me crazy
Now that I was simple-minded it seemed I attracted clean, handsome people.
But you've got your reasons
White lights and black beaches
Then when he started to make my life miserable I could make his miserable as well.
Now the sky is turning into snow
Snow into circles of a question about nature
While you fall into the great unknown

In the moonlight we walked in the park at night
We played golf under statues of lennon
I wanna be strong, I wanna laugh along
I wanna belong to the living
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I wanna have fun, I wanna shine like the sun
Wanna be the one that you want to see
I fall to pieces when I'm with you, I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
Wanna write you a love letter
Wanna make you feel better
Wanna make you feel free
Like a wedding party with nothing but bridesmaids.
All bets are off
Lay your cards on the table
Draw down the moon
I'm a special lover sometimes
It wasn’t the silence of silence. It was my own silence.
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs
But you only touch a ghost
My rose garden dreams, set on fire by fiends
And all my black beaches (are ruined)
Kiss me hard before you go
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
Key lime and perfume and festivals
Taking our dreams, turning them to things
It's like magic, babe, isn't life wonderful?
Ooh baby when you, call me I come to
From dreams I awake, and I'm waiting for you

And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

I've seen myself in a thousand faces
Strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me
Our hearts bound for breaking at dawn
And I don't suppose that it means much of anything
And I don't suppose that you think of it too
My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams
Ooh honey when you, call me I want to
Stay on the telephone for hours just to getcha home
Ooh sugar when you, call me after school
I see your smile and I could run a methamphetamile
And I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces when I'm with you
But I cannot do the math
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
Pace of the world, I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together, I'm falling apart
Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep, I'm getting nowhere

Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly

And I will never see the sky the same way and

There are people in this lifetime
That we should never meet
Cause to be here now without you, well,
My life's so incomplete
And the tape I made you,
Hope you think of me when it plays through
A dispassionate white sun shone at the summit of the sky. I wanted to hone myself on it till I grew saintly and thin and essential as the blade of a knife.
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big beauty queen style
She regarded me as a sort of interesting experiment.
High heels off, I'm feeling alive
All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running, I'm falling apart
And nothing goes unspoken
When the colors unfold
Cuz now we're alone in the atmosphere

Well I'm stubborn and wrong,
But at least I know it
I keep movin' along
Were you really looking for me?
Try your best to reassure me
I wasn't patient to meet you
Am I too needy, am I too eager?
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls

Until I can get through this
And I don't suppose that you think much of anything
But I really hope that you think of me still

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night
I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these
Keepin' me hot
Like July forever

I'm kinda sad now that it's done
You think my time is for free
In all the ways you say to me,
Sweet versions of let's wait and see
I got tired of waiting
There's no way for us to come away
'Cause boy we're gold, boy we're gold
And I was like...
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

Romeo, save me. I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you, but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said…
My boyfriend's back
And he's cooler than ever
There's no more night
Blue skies forever

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
I've been losing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wandering the streets,
For days and days and days,
Taking roads, reading signs
That no one, ever named
You knew all, that before, but you didn’t, want to feel
All the rage, knock, at your door
Deep inside, oh you knew, they would all, be delighted
To see you fall, down in deep water
Ever since, looking proud, you drop
She stared at her reflection in the glossed shop windows as if to make sure, moment by moment, that she continued to exist.

All these stones across the lake, your eyes full of anger
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe, somebody please slow me down

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes".
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
But now we're alone in the atmosphere
A place I'll never know
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last
You always dress in yellow When you want to dress in gold
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room

But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

And I didn't think I would stay for this
And you didn't think I would go
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
Going from road to road
Bed to bed
