Jann Arden Album

Hide your heart under the bed
And lock your secret drawer
Wash the angels from your head
Won't need them anymore
Love is a demon and
You're the one he's coming for
Oh my Lord

He's bringing sweet salvation
Let temptation take him in
He's every fear and every hope
And every single sin
He is the universe the love
You've been imagining
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord

And I am ashes
I am Jesus
I am precious
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

Put a chair against the door
And turn the lights down low
Write a letter to yourself
No one will ever know
Tell them all about the girl
Who just refused to fall
Oh my Lord

He is the very breath
You feel inside your lungs at night
He is the bitter wind
Who's drying up your appetite
He is the darkness
That seeps into your fading light
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord

And I am ashes
I am Jesus
I am precious
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

I am worthless sounds
Compared to all your perfect words
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

Wash the angels from your head
Won't need them anymore
Hide your heart under the bed
And lock your secret drawer
Love is the demon
And you're the one he's coming for
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

Can you see my heart beating in my mouth
Thank God the bones will keep it there inside
And you won't have to see this latest casualty
And you can get yourself away from
all my demolition love

Can you hear me laugh dazed and scared to death
Thank God my thoughts aren't drifting
through the air
'Cause you would catch me there bound so
tightly to your knees
The dirt beneath your feet is all I need
to be completely mad

Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you picture me here in Calgary
Thank God the voices screaming in my head
would sooner wish instead than face the
bitterness of loss
I can take it now I know myself in
demolition love
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey
Yeah hey hey

Can you see my heart

I'll bite the hand that feeds the pain
I'll lay my life down for love
I lost the truth, I lost my way
But I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it now
I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for myself

A savior sent to save the world
An angel has no armor
Now torn and bent, no wings unfurl
We are looking for it
Oh we are looking for it now
We are looking for it
We need to find but one thing good

And under every star (I'm finding Heaven)
In every breath of air (I'm finding Heaven)
In everything I have (I'm finding Heaven)
In everything I am...oh

The world is big, the world is bad
But I will find the beauty - I see a vision in my head
I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for myself
I am looking for it - I am looking for it now
I am looking for it
Oh I am looking for it now
Oh I am looking for myself

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive
Insensitive
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush?
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Hold out your heart and on it let the sun shine down
Open your mind and through it let the wisdom pour
Give me your word and I will give you all my trust
Give me a sign and I will give you all my love

There's dirt in my mouth from kissing who
I should not dare
There's mud coming out with every rip and every tear
This thing beneath my ribs sill beat me to the ground
I've got to hold out my heart, on it let the sun
shine down (got to hold out my heart)
The sun shine down

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

Nobody knows me, no one will ever see
the distance between what is and what will never be
A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me

My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
my guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin

A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me (hold out your heart)

Gasoline
Gasoline

Be my lover, be my baby, be my wonderdrug
Be my flower, weeping silver tears on
a rusted heart.
Don't say a word, just let me kiss it
all away
No more sorrow, no more sadness no more

Be my lover, baby you just got to want me
I don't know, can't think, not even breathing
Be my blood-stained suit of armor, be my everything
Don't say you love me 'cause I don't care
I love you more than you will ever know
No more worry, no more trouble, no more sadness
An no more sorrow

Oh my heart shines when you kiss my mouth
What a sweet surprise
And I stop cold when you're in the room
And you look my way
Say my name, say my name

Be my lover, Be my, Be my baby
Be my wonderdrug, my wonderdrug
my wonderdrug. Be my, be my baby
Be my lover
Be my wonderdrug

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her

I've got a black and white television
I've got an indigo gas oven
I've got holes in my head
Holes in my head

I've got filthy rotten wall-to-wall
I've got a couch made out of corduroy
My cat's dying, words flying
Leaking from the shower stall
And that's not all

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her

I can't believe the things I hear
Falling from the atmosphere
Sexual atrocities are
Happening right over me
And I can't sleep

Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her
Living under June, living under her
etc....

There will be no consolation prize
This time the bone is broken clean
No baptism, no reprise
And no sweet taste of victory

All the stars have fallen from the sky
And everything else in between
Satellites have closed their eyes
The moon has gone to sleep

Unloved, unloved
Unloved, unloved

Here I am inside a hotel
Choking on a million words I said
Cigarettes have burned a hole
And dreams are drunk and penniless

Here I am inside my father's arms
All jagged-bone and whiskey-dry
Whisper to me sweetly now
And tell me I will never die

Unloved, unloved
Unloved, unloved

Here I am an empty hallway
Broken window, rainy night
I am nineteen sixty-two
And I am ready for a fight

People crying hallelujah
While the bullet leaves the gun
People falling, falling, falling
And I don't know where they're falling from
Are they

Unloved, unloved
Unloved, unloved

Hoping that the kindness
Will lead us past the blindness
And not another living soul
Will ever have to feel

Unloved, unloved
Unloved, unloved

Unloved, unloved

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything
so bad...so bad

Cardboard masks of all the people
I've been
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
dented God Damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never
wanted anything so bad...
so bad

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself

Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Facing forward
Be yourself
just be yourself
just be yourself

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Heart in hand

I flagged a taxi long before you woke
The sun had not yet risen, morning not yet broke
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

A little starling swept above my sleepy head
He plucked a single hair and took off
Laughing madly as he fled
The driver drinking brandy
Said, "Here is to the day"
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

And every breath I ever took
Every tear I ever wept
Every star I wished upon
Seemed nothing until now
Every prayer I ever said
Seemed strangely answered now
Could it be I'm in love?
Could it be I'm in love?

I made the driver park the car beside the sea
I gazed upon the fading dark
And slowly buckled at the knees
The driver drinking gladly said
"Here is to the day"
It looks like rain
It looks like rain

And every breath I ever took
Every tear I ever wept
Every star I wished upon
Seemed nothing until now
Every prayer I ever said
Seemed strangely answered now
Could it be I'm in love?
Could it be I'm in love?

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
