Norah Jones Album

In your message you said, you were goin' to bed, but I'm not done with the night.
So I stayed up and read, but your words in my head, got me mixed up so I turned out the light.

And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
My mind's racing from chasing pirates.

Well the man in there swings while the silliest things, floppin around in my brain.
And I try not to dream but them possible schemes, swim around, wanna drown me in synch.

And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
Oh my mind's racing from chasing pirates. x2

My mind's racin' from chasing pirates. x2

Something by the way he touched me,
Was so slow,
The way he'd put his arms around me,
Even though,

I'm feeling lonely(x2)

Don't understand the words he said,
Made me do wrong,
But now there is nothing else in my head,
And now it's stronger wish he'd drift me, alone,
I wish he leave me,

Cuz'I know trouble will follow,
When I have to go,
I have to go,

He makes me think that I don't know me,
So unsure,
When I remember all the things he showed me,
And I want more, I'm feeling lonely,
oh oh oh I'm feeling lonely .

While love seasons will undo so
Time forgives us and it takes control
Separate our face to put us back together

Very light as a feather
Heavy as the weather
If it was rainstorms

But i hands together to plough(not sure) obey
Like a show was over we just gave the walkaway
Or for the better
Worst for the way

Very light as a feather
Got You and I together

Meanwhile inside of me it was rainstorms....ohmmmm......
You didn't know....hmmm...
God bless your soul

Very light as a feather
Heavy as the weather
Very light as a feather
Got You and I together

I'll pretend my heart's not on fire
If you steal my true love's name
Broke down subway in this city of spires
Tape your picture over his in the frame

We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers
Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo
Our chambers hold silvery collars
Gun down werewolves wherever we go
We gun down werewolves wherever we go

Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang
Creased white pages torn right from the spine
Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang
You always hoped one day you'd be mine

Threw our fathers on funeral pyres
I'm not sure that we were playing a game
Busted gasket in a field full of liars
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame

Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

Band of gold with a diamond implied
You wrote letters that you never sent
I made promises I'll always deny
Now we'll never know what the other meant

Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk
Lost the chance to wind the key
Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
Our fears are only what we tell them to be

Drown the last of our matches
Burn the rest of each other
You were strongest when I ached for breath
Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother

Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

If I touched myself
the way you touched me
If I could hold myself
the way you held me

Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you
to love me

If I could replace
the things you gave me
If I could see my face
without the tragedy

Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you
to love me

But I do
So come back
Come back

If you could see the way I act
When I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack
over the phone

Then you'd know I need you
You'd I need you
Oh, you'd know I need you
to love me

Hush now watch the stars fall
into a fire wall
I am waiting here
waiting for you to come home

Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
I am waiting here,
waiting for you to come home

And I watch them burn
when will I ever learn
If I wait it doesn't mean
you will return

(repeat)

Now all the stars have gone
faded into cracks of dawn
and I'm still waiting here
waiting for you to come home
I'm waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

Now princess become human

It's gonna be
it's gonna be
make it be

It's gonna be e e e

You've ruined me now but I liked it
But I'm ruined, do you have a plan
cuz I'm in your hands

You ruined me now, Though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, I had no choice when I heard your voice
I know you said can't be mislead
Now I'm the one who's face is red.

You ruined me now, though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, Your chocolate eyes like buttons in piles.

You ruined me now, though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, I'm trying to part with what's in my heart.
You ruined me and how I thought I liked it
But I'm ruined my whole world is left turned upside down.

I heard me say I'm going away, But now I write you everyday.
You head me say I'm going away, But I'm on the floor outside your door

You ruined me now
You ruined me now
You ruined me now

You ruined me now, but I liked it
But I'm ruined, do you have a plan cuz I'm in your hands.

I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It'll be as if this don't exist

Have a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I'll go back to Manhattan
as if nothing ever happened

Don't have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
Don't have to speak at all

Brooklyn holds you
and holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

Don't have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
Don't have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It's just a train ride away
I know nothing about leaving
But I know i should do it today

hey shall we wade through the room for the street
and finally to me
he asked me what i'm drinking
my friend johnny tugging on my sleeve
asked if i wanna leave
and what i'm really thinking is

why can't it be easy, easy
why don't you leave me, leave me, leave me be

i can't see us swaying
i can't hear what you're saying

i'm sitting here stuck
and plastered to my seat
i think of a reason to leave
when you finally start speaking

i'll take a a long stroll
walked down washington street
half asleep on my feet
half aware if i'm dreaming

i'll go home alone
a sinking stone
a switched-off telephone
i'll go on briefly(?)
a frozen breeze
a fallen down factory

i still see us swaying
but i can't hear what you're saying

i just lost the plot
got a little copped(?)
been a little knocked
i just hit a wall
had a little fall
i felt(?) a swinging wrecking ball

and why should that be
why don't you tell me
why don't you tell me

i'm sure you'll tell me
why don't you tell me
i guess you'd tell me
tell me

December come to me
I hope I can see
You not just in dreams

I will let you be
Why can't you believe
How much you really mean

December won't you come
Back with snow even sun
Don't say that it's done

I will carry you home
Take you from the loneliest
Place you have known

I will carry you home
Take me from the loneliest
Place I have known

I won't cry for you
when the night grows long
and I won't die for you
because you done me wrong
so tell your mama
I said hello
and that she raised you
too damn slow
you're too damn slow
too damn slow

because I've been waiting
for your time
and I've been missing
out on mine
so tell your father
that I said so long
and thanks for raising you
so damn wrong
you are so damn wrong
you're so damn wrong, so damn wrong.

It's him or me
That's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan and a pot head
So I chose you
Because you're sweet
And you give me lots of loving and you eat meat
And that's how you became my only man of the hour

You never lie and you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied to your forefeet
Do I deserve
To be the one
Who will feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner and take you to the park at dawn
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

I know you'll never bring me flowers
Flowers, they will only die
And though you'll never take a shower together
I know you'll never make me cry
You'll never argue, you don't even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you when we go outside and walk
Will you really be
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour
