Sister Hazel Album

Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today

Oh no-
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better,
Might feel better if you stay

Pre-chorus
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in…

Chorus If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...


Hey hey-
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow

Pre-chorus/chorus

Hey hey-
what ya say
We both go and seize the day
'cause what's your hurry
what's your hurry anyway

Pre-chorus/chorus

[No lyrics]

I had to walk away,
Down the road just to clear my head.
On another fun filled day,
Was doin' fine, but you're back instead.
Well I'm not the only one,
Who saw you for just what you were.
You'd push me, but I'd keep tryin'.
I'd leave you, but you'd start cryin'!.

But you won't fool me
I'm smarter than that!!

Chorus
You were the one...
Who taught me what I don't need
And I thank you-I thank you for that
You were the one...
That brought me to my senses
And I thank you-
Now just leave me alone

I had to drive away,
Far away 'til you could not find me
And It was a beautiful day
Liberated and you're far behind me

What you did I'll never mention
Where you were, I don't want to know
I don't want to know

But you won't fool me
I'm smarter than that!!

Chorus

What you did I'll never mention

Chorus

I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear
"I do" and "I do"
And I do a number on myself
And all that I thought to be
And you'll be the one
That just left me undone
By my own, hesitation

Pre-chorus
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.

Chorus
Well I'm on a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high
I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high, high

Spring turned to summer
But then winter turned to mean
The distance seemed right
At the time it was best - to leave
And to leave behind
What I once thought was fine And so real - to me
And while I'm still gone
On the quest for my song
I'm at your - celebration

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Your wagons been hitched to a star
Well now he'll be your thing that's new
Yeah what little I have you can borrow
'Cause I'm old and I'm blue...

Pre-chorus

Well I'm on a champagne high (so high)
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high (so high)
Toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high... high...
So high so high you left me undone
so high, so high you left me undone....

Well I'll follow you wherever
When you lead me by my nose
On another big adventure- I suppose
Then you lay me down in clover
With their petals on my back
I should make some time
To do more things like that...

Pre chorus/chorus
Won't you sing to me your poetry,
Won't you take me to your home,
Won't you be for me forever
So I'll never be alone
And just one thing...
If you're my queen...
Then it's a beautiful thing...

Well I'm buried in my bedroom
Under fourteen feet of clothes
I could drown in all this clutter I suppose

But then you're standing in my doorway
With a suitcase on your back
And it blows my mind
When you do things like that

Pre chorus/ chorus

Yeah, reminding me
Well I might be poor
But summers free...
For me, I didn't know I was sleeping

Pre chorus/ chorus

With my head above the water
I can breathe to stay alive
But I'll try a little harder
If you want me to survive

Pre Chorus:
Won't somebody tell me?
How I got to this stage?
When consequence is inconsequential
And
Staring in the spotlight
Is better than real life

Chorus:
It's been surreal, how do you feel
When the seas part before your eyes
It's just so real how does it feel
When the stars that follow die

With my head above the water
I could drift along, beyond the tides
But I can try a little harder
If you help me to reach the other side.

It's been surreal, how do you feel
When the colors have left you blind
It's just so real how does it feel
To have left yourself behind

It's over and I'm overwhelmed
I'm emptied out like a dusty shelf
You buried me-and I'm covered in shame
I'm here but you look right through me

Pre chorus
Just hear me out for what it's worth
You still rip my breath away
I've come around
I know you've heard it before
And again and again...

Chorus
Shame on me shame on me
It's bittersweet but I'm so sorry
It took so long but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long)
Shame on me…shame on me...
Because you're every questions answer
Shame on me

So clever –but I tripped somehow
I never guessed you could knock me down
I am just a bit undone
Displaced and burned like fire

Pre chorus/ chorus

I didn't get it I never wanted to
My self destructive attitude said
What did you want
And why would you want it at all?
But you never went away

You faded out but it took so long
It's tainted
How could I let this slip away from me
For a wondering jones
I'm here but you look right through me...

Chorus

The grey ceiling on the earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth
I've been acting like a child
In your opinion, and what is that?
It's just a different point of view

What else can I do?
I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry , but for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you
Why do you chew your pain?
If you only know how much I love you, love you

Chorus
I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
I will be here

The old picture on the shelf
Well it's been there for a while
A frozen image of ourselves
We are acting like a child
Innocent and in a trance
A dance that lasted for a while

You read my eyes just like your diary,
oh remember, please remember
Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more
If I hurt you, then I hate myself, don't wanna hurt you
Why do you chew your pain?
If you only knew how much I love you

I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
I will be here

Chorus

Sometimes I wake with a weary head and
I wonder how I'll ever get through
Then I think of the things you said
how you told me to my self be true
My faith in things unseen,
My belief that it'll all work out
May seem like a strange cup of tea,
but if its all right with you than it all
Right with me

Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

There's times I feel with the stains of life
I could just turn around, turn around walk away
Then a strength like a beam from above
lifts me up by the hand and it leads me to say
Good things for good people you see
good things they seem to all work out
May seem like a strange cup of tea but
if its all right with you well then its all right with me

Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

Getting by ain't enough for me
I know what I like I like what I see
I'm not only flesh and blood but
I'm heart and soul I know

Sometimes I feel at the end of the day
was it worth while or have I settled for less
I sit back and your there by my side sincerely you say,
we're both so blessed
Count your blessing count them one, two, three
don't give up cause it'll all work out
It may seem like a strange cup of tea but
if it's all right with you, it's just fine with me

Oh my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

Save me – have mercy
Turn me upside down
I know it sounds a little bit lazy
But I lost myself in a mystery
Save me- some aggravation
And tell me your wisest tale
Take me away...

Chorus
Won't you save me
Please hurry please
Won't you tell me what's worthy now
Won't you save me
I thought for myself
Can't you forgive me for that

Turn round- where ya goin
Slow down-my hopes on you
I've paid my dues a thousand times over
‘Cause I was not born ready made
Teach me- teach me everything
And leave no turn unstoned
Yeah that's ok

Chorus

Now we've been on this walk before
And I can't take it lightly anymore
Well again I said
It's just there's so much wasted time
Quit wasting time.

Hold on – wait a minute
Take note-this one's on me
They never put up a monument
For a cynic or a statue of a hypocrite
Turn it up-turn it over
Tune in and change your mind
Go your own way

Chorus

It's wrong-not right so bad you know it.
I've been wrung in and out.
You say-you want-you need-it your way.
You kick and scream and shout.

Pre Chorus
You twist my words
To ease your mind
Don't stand there smiling, at me
Don't think it's me
When it's always you, it's always you

Chorus
Give in-give out-give up-it's over.
Why even bother if I'm always wrong.
Give in-give out-give up-it's over.
So much for trying it's time to move on.

You try-to back-me in-a corner.
So sick of playin' your game.
Too much-too hard-to take-You're giving.
So much that I don't need.

Pre Chorus
You twist my words
To ease your mind
Don't stand there smiling, at me
Don't think it's me
When it's always you, it's always you

Chorus

Bridge
Your mind-my heart-our words-they drain me.
I've heard the same old lines
I'm tired-worn out-so weak-don't push me.
Don't try it one more time.

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus
If she's out there somewhere-somewhere
I would give everything to know.
Just to hold and to finally have her,
Take me to sunrise from indigo

If it's to be
That there's just no one for me
I'll try not to cry much
So no one will see
But if it's to be
That there is anyone for me
Our hearts will shine
So everyone will see
I've got some time,
So maybe if you're free
I could use a friend
Just to talk to me

Chorus

Spent most of my life without
Anyone near
Never cared what happened
I never saw clear
But I'm getting older now
And I'm, thinking of my end
And to leave without love
Or without a friend
I've got some time
So maybe if you are free
I could use a friend
Before I die

Chorus

It's not over yet...
I'm still standing

If it's to be
That there's just no one for me
I will try not to cry much
So no one else will see
I've got some time
So maybe if you're free
I could use a friend
Just to talk to me

I'll go away
I'll go on my wordless way
Don't say anything
Say nothing, just leave me.

I've been merely, an actor
In your painful play.
But I feel too much to stay.
Just cast me out.

Pre chorus
You can have the dishes
You can have the jacked up car.
And take the book on meditation
I'll just take home what I brought,

Chorus
My, big painted velvet Elvis...

Well take it away
Take it all away
Don't leave anything
Leave nothing, except me

'cause I've been sadly misinformed
I thought it mattered a little more than this
I wish I was a thousand miles away...

Pre chorus/ chorus

Well I'm frozen here
Caged in silence
It's better that I
Regret these words
Than to stand aside
And watch your tragic
Storyline unfold...
Just let me go

Pre chorus/ chorus

Well you took my heart
And you took my soul
And you used me,
I've had plenty of that.
It gets harder and harder
And farther and farther
From what I need for me.

It's bitter
Tastes a lot like winter
And will it- release me

So heavy
How much more to bring down the levy
And kill me - don't kill me

[Chorus]

I've been stayin' high...
And I've been feelin' sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself

Shattered
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered
Can you-even hear hear me?
What do you expect out of me
I'm being buried alive and screaming
Can't you see - Can't you see me ?

[Chorus]

Weary
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
Of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'

How am I to figure it out
All alone I've been kickin' around
Without my home - I'm so lost...

[Chorus]
