You got a way with words
You got a way with living life
You got me thinking this thing might be
really, really nice
You got me counting all my blessings
You got me staying up too late
You got me trying really hard at work
just to concentrate
I keep thinking about your face
You got me
You got me
You got me
and maybe I got you
You got me burning mix CDs
You got me stuck on bad TV shows
You got me believing I'm finally
on the right road
You got me all smiles, all the time
You got me forgetting the wreckage
You got me waiting all night by the phone
for another text message
I just want one more text message
You got me
You got me, baby
You got me
and maybe I've got you, too
You got your way with me
You got me spending all the nights
You got me wondering what I bring to the table
for the first time in my life
oh, it feels like the first time
You got me
You got me, baby, yeah
You got me
and maybe I've got you, too
I sure hope that I do
'cause you got a way with words
You got a way with living life
You got me believing
this thing could be
really, really nice

here you are
I’m finally alone with you
you came over and kissed me on my balcony
and we threw back a few
and here you are
you’re on my cellphone tonight
you made me laugh out loud
and feel so electric and alive
i'm electric and alive
so no matter what
version of us comes true
I will never regret the nights
That I spent with you
and here I am
I’m scared to be a fool
'cause I have no idea what normal is
or why I’m so into you
but here you are
you're on my mind again
and i can question every little thing
or dive in
I think I’m diving in, yeah
so no matter what
version of us comes true
i will never regret the nights
that i spent with you
i've never wanted something so much
and i've never been more exposed
and i've never been so sure
that i've never been in love before
no i've never been in love before
it feels like i've never been in love before
so no matter what
version of us comes true
i will never regret the nights
i will never regret the nights
i could never regret the nights
i spent with you
‘cuz I spent them with you
and
here you are
and here you are
here you are
and here we are...

Well you're not here for two more weeks
so I re-read that email you sent me
before you left
and I don't really know you
Oh, but I want to...
If I get drunk and stupid
might say something foolish but
i still don't think i'll ever shake this thing
while...
You're in London
You're in London
You're in London
And I guess your cell phone, it don't work over there
You're in London, but I don't care
So you're not here, so I'm left with this song
These words and sounds strung along a line
and these few chords, they come in time
and I go back and forth,
in my mind I go back and forth,
and forth and back...
I’m inventing my own distractions
while....
You're in London
You're in London
You're in London
And I guess your fingers don't work over there
You're in London, and I don't care
so maybe you kiss somebody you miss me and so you kiss somebody you miss me and so you kiss somebody you miss me and so you kiss somebody you miss me and so you kiss somebody you miss me and so you kiss somebody you kiss me and so you kiss somebody who looks like me
but i'm just fine
though those arms aren't mine
while...
You're in London
You're in London
You're in London
And I guess your dumb heart, it don't work over there
And you're in London
but I don't care
You're In London
I'm in over my head
You're in London
I'm in love and
You're in London
and I'm in love
I just might be in love
But you're not here
for two more weeks
so I re-read that e-mail you sent me…

A Good Day
05:56
|

|
It's a good day to begin
the thing that came after the thing that ended
but there's nothing on TV tonight
so I go to bed at 9
tomorrow is one more shot at the prize
the sunlight makes me want to squint
and your face is so beautiful when it's bathed in it
but i've got so much on my mind right now
and i want to let you in, but i don't know how
but it feels right when you stay the night
but i don't
want to waste any more time
talking on the phone
when I’ve got one more shot at the prize
i'm taking my next go round at life
they told me that it was over, but they lied
so I want my next shot at the prize
And I don’t want to expect the worst
it's the untaken risk that really hurts
i see my second chance coming 'round the bend
and I pray to god, I won't mess it up again
so I try to resist all the people I miss
as this fear rushes in
but you know I'm finally resolved
I’ve got to take it all on the chin
to get in my next shot at the prize
I’m taking my next go ‘round at life…
they told me that it, it was over, but they lied
and I'm so glad that I'm here tonight
‘cuz I want one more… shot at the prize
it's a good day to begin...

I know how to sing
I know how to bring
myself to whatever is unfolding
I know how to let go of what is getting going
I know how to try
I know how to lie
to myself when I'm in my bed at night
I know how to drown swimming against your tide
And five years on, I belong to no one
Chorus
Because I know how to run
and I know how to fall
then I know how to feel nothing at all
I know how love where I'm going
more than where I'm coming from
yeah, I know how to run
And I know that you love me
I know that I love you, too
Especially when you do all the things I want you to
I know that you're the closest one
who's come to breaking through
Oh, but ten years on, I'm still not the one
Chorus
I know how to run, run, run, run
Bridge
Phone numbers stuffed into my pockets
Bird flying off my window sill
And no matter how far I can rocket out of here
I will fear just standing still
Chorus
I know how to run
I know how to hide
I know how to feel nothing inside
I know how to love what's possible
more than what's done
I know how to run
Yeah, I know how to run
I know how to run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run
I know how to run

you don't call me and I panic
expectation meets semantics
and I start looking for the holes
growing up has never been this tough
you could never reassure me enough
this terror, well, it comes and goes
Chorus
but one of these days, I’ll be alright
the past won't replay this time
and one of these nights
in the blink of an eye
I’ll be
la di da da de di da
la di da di da di da
if i believe it, then I’ll see it
when good enough's alone, i leave it
and some would say I’m real bad news
because once i win it, it already starts to dim
and I can't feel it, although I'm in it
and i don't even trust the truth
Chorus
Bridge
i can't avoid the crash,
Don't know how to make this last
i can only touch it as it passes
and i can't compare you
it's not fair to
all the others who
even on their best days
weren't you...
they weren't you....
they weren't la di de da di de da you, you, you, you
but one of these days
i'll be alright
the past won't replay this time
and one of these nights
in the blink of an eye
i’ve gotta be
la di da da de di da
la di da di da di da

Matinée
04:18
|

|
Are you afraid of love
or are you in it?
A vampire in reverse
you never let the night in
It's your movie and, god,
you love acting in it
In two hours, we play out all the scenes
Like some kind of afternoon un-dress rehearsing
The climax, the denouement
and the ambiguous ending
I think I've seen this one before
I think I’ve seen this one before
Chorus
When reality pulls me down
somehow you know that's just the time to come around
We break the rules, seize the day, you steal my crown,
but I give it away...
and I will be your matinée
A trail of clothes
that leads to an empty room
A trail of lies that leads
to an emptier truth
A trail of tears when they find out
what we've been up to
I think I've seen this one before
I think I’ve seen this one before
Chorus
Bridge
And no one wants to play the part of the fool
But no one wants to choose
Chorus

Flat Earth Theory
04:01

|
The bar closes down at 2 a.m.
You come home at 3, smell like smoke and gin
I have to be at work at 6
You say you weren’t thinking,
Oh, again…
Chorus
How long can I insist
That
The world is flat?
We have sex, but we don’t kiss
We got lots of love, but we don’t make it
And I guess that’s just the way it is
A real life made by faking it
Oh, again…
Chorus
And how long can you insist
That
The world is flat?
And how long can I insist
That the world is flat
Bridge
I keep thinking things will change
as things often do
But I know that’s just insane,
When I’ve got all these years of proof…
Your mother's in town so we have to
do all the things we're supposed to do
Our neighbor plays his music loud,
and you don't know what I'm talking about
it's over and I'm out
Chorus
And how long can we insist
That
The world is flat
Most of all, it’s just sad
That
What we had is gone

Happy
04:08
|

|
It’s early morning, in the kitchen
We had a late night
And the neighbors won’t stop bitchin’
But it’s alright
We could walk down by the river
see what we see
We could be each other’s forgiver
Just like a family
Chorus
‘I Love You’ rolls right off your tongue
It’s easy
Like you’ve never been hurt by anyone
There’s a secret I’ve been keeping deep inside of me
I think I could be so happy…
We watch a movie, curled on the sofa
It’s some stupid thing
Then some friends call, invite us over
We let the phone ring
We eat dinner at the table
Talk over everything
I’d stay forever if I was able
Just you and me…
Chorus
‘I Love You’ rolls right off your tongue
It’s easy
Like you’ve never been hurt by anyone
There’s no lesson in this sadness that’s been haunting me
You know, I think I could be happy
Bridge
You make me chamomile tea before bed
I listen to your late night stories ‘til my eyes are red
You read books, I play guitar
It’s so simple ‘cuz I love who you are…
And ‘I Love You’ rolls right off my tongue
It’s easy
Like I’ve never been hurt by anyone
There’s no lesson in this sadness that’s been haunting me
Oh no, I think I could be so happy
I think I could be … happy
If I met you, I could be so happy
Are you out there? Are you out there?
Are you out there? Are you..?
Are you out there? Are you out there?
Are you happy?
Because if we met, I bet we could be
happy
