Jann Arden Album

No I will not lay down
I will not live my life like a ghost in this town
I am not lonely swear to God I'm just alone

I'm back on my feet
I can just close my eyes and forget everything
My house is empty, every memory blown away

Oh the sound of the wind through my bones
makes me laugh
at all the bodies I kissed and never knew
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
falling down to the floor
just barely out of reach from me

No I will not go back
every word thats been hiding inside of my head
is running blindly look behind me nothing's left

I can sit in a room
I can hear myself breathing and be quite amused
life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin

Oh the sound of the wind through my heart
makes me glad
for all the ones that never knew my name
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
I had to go
could not stay here
they were always out of reach from me

Leave me now, don't hang around
Just close the door
and leave the key under the plant outside
The one you bought me years ago
look how it's grown

Go away, you cannot stay here
Take your heart off of your sleeve
and let me catch my breath
I hope you haven't left a thing

It's hard enough to be here without your love
It's hard enough

Move along, you don't belong here
Wipe yourself off of my floor
and let me get some sleep
I cannot keep you in my heart

It's hard enough to be here without your
to be here without your
to be here without your love

It's hard enough
It's hard enough

Leave me now, don't hang around
Leave me now, don't hang around

I know that you're sorry
I know you've been drunk all week
I know that you did not mean to
Spit out those profanities
I know you're a loser
I know you've had bad skin all your life
I also know you will never find a wife

Someone who could love someone so hard
And you are
And you are

I don't think you're ugly
I just think the world has made you weird
I doubt very much you even hear
anything I say to you
What's that on your shoulder?
Don't you know it's pulling you apart?
Every vein connected to your heart

Nobody could love someone so hard
I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend

I think that you need me
Even though you tell yourself you don't
I will love you even though you won't
I will be your confidant

Won't you let me hold you?
Won't you let me kiss you on the mouth?
Oh I know you'll tell me to get out
It doesn't matter any way

I know you well enough to say
You need to start again
I hope you never underestimate yourself my friend
My friend, My friend, My friend
I know you so well
I know you so well
I know you so well

I don't know how I'll get by without you
I'll be wrecked, I'll be ruined
I don't know how I'll get past tomorrow
I bet I'll be broken open wide

I don't think I told you, I feel terrible
I've been sitting in this chair since Sunday
In the same clothes with unwashed hair
Nothing moving, I feel unusual

Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone
And I cannot remember when I was happy

Can you feel my heart beating like a thunder ball?
Can you hear every sound
I'm making in the darkness
Without breathing
Nothing moving
I feel peculiar

I don't know, I can't tell
If I am...myself
If I was a good girl would I be here?
If I was so stupid then what was what you did?
You were not a good thing for me

Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone
And I cannot remember when I was happy

I don't know, I can't tell
If I am...myself

When I held you, you would almost always hold me down
You could see through, everything I said
I was falling and you, said not to fall on you
I've bitten every finger 'til it bleed

Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too, wishing that

When I kissed you, you would almost always kiss me back
But I could tell your mind was with someone else
So my hands are folded neatly on my lap and I am
Picturing your body as I ask myself if you

Love me too, wishing that you'd love me too, wishing that

Listen to my nervous laughter sunken deep inside my heart
My lips are dry I'm teary-eyed for you my love
Harken all these fallen angels help me find a place to rest
My head is pounding here beneath the weight of this
I'm wishing that

And you know me, oh you know me more than anyone
When I hear your voice
everything I've done disappears from memory
Oh my darling come and save me
Tell me I'm the one you're dreaming of
Tell me that you love me too

Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that you'd love me too
Wishing that, you'd love me too
Wishing that, I'm wishing that, I'm wishing that
I'm wishing that I'm wishing that you'd love me too

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet live
Oh, I've had the sun on my face
I had fallen to my knees and been amazed
I have walked beneath the brilliance of a perfect sky

Oh I am saved
Saved

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet life
Oh I have a beautiful friend
I am breathless from the mercy of a smile
I am standing on the brink of the most perfect love

Oh I am Saved
Saved

I am saved
I believe
I am not going to be like I was
I have changed
I am saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
I have torn them into tiny bits of rain
Oh the sun has dried those memories like I knew it would

Oh I am saved
Saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want (2 x's)
Yes, I am saved

I don't mind if you stay longer
You have not been any trouble
I don't want you to go home yet
can you stay just stay ten more minutes

You are my best friend
I don't know how I'd live
How I love you
every square inch
Love your brown eyes
your forgiveness

Don't go home now
It's past midnight
You can sleep here
we'll have breakfast
Yes

You are my greatest gift
I don't know how I'd live
You are my saving grace
You are by heart my true friend

Don't worry, the sun is just around the corner and
Don't worry, the downpour of unhappiness is over
I can see you now so clearly crawling on your bloody knees
And everything you thought was going wrong was really nothing after all

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
Shooting horses

Don't worry the sun is shining on the ugliness
Don't worry there really is a God up in heaven
Skies so blue they'll break your heart where angels carry soldiers off
And everything you thought would pull you down into the fiery depths of hell

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
They're shooting horses

You don't know how hard I tried to keep you well - to keep you well
You don't know how much I need you - lean on me - save yourself

Don't worry the sun is just around the corner and
Don't worry the downpour of this heaviness is over
I can see us now so clearly laughing like we always did
And everything you thought was going wrong was really nothing after all

They're shooting horses, shooting horses somewhere else right now
They're shooting horses

I don't know why we have to die
I don't know a thing about this life
I know the punishment don't always fit the crime

But I will get by
I will get by

I know this drinkin's gonna take me down
I feel the sin inside my body now
Oh mercy mercy forgive my lack of will

Oh I...I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by

Don't want to go to hell
Can't hardly stand myself
I'm like a weed at the side of the road
Nothing but filthy air
Gotta get out of here
I'm like a weed and you know how hard they can be to kill
And you can't kill me

I don't know why a broken heart
Can hurt you more than having your hand cut off
I've come to save you but you're already gone

Oh I will get by (3 x's)

When I cry, I close my eyes
And every tear falls down inside
And I pray with all my might
that I will find my heart in someone's arms
When I cry, cry

When I cry
When I am sad I think of every awful thing I ever did
Oh When I cry, there is no love,
No there is nothing that can comfort me enough
When I cry,
Cry, cry

The salt inside my body ruins everyone I come close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
I am so tired of looking at my feet
Or all the secrets that I keep

My heart is barely hangin' by a thread
Hangin' by a thread

Oh look at me
At all I've done
I've lost so many things that I so dearly love
I lost my soul
I lost my pride
Oh I lost any hope of having a sweet life
So I cry,
Cry, cry

Oh the salt inside my body ruins everyone I come close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
Oh I'm so tired of looking at my feet
And all the secrets that I keep
My heart is barely hangin' by a thread
Hangin' by a thread

I miss you all
I wish I was with you now
I wish I was

Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will still live on and on

But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky
in letters that would soar a thousand feet high
To Sir with love.

The time has come
for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn.

What, what can I give you in return
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
but I would rather you let me give my heart
To Sir with love.

But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would write
across the sky in letters that would show
a thousand feet high
To Sir with love
