Album: Blurring The Edges

I Need

I need some good luck, I need a best friend

I need a rough dog, I need a mountain

I need some new clothes, a tv, a cause

A trip to nirvana, a thrill of applause

I need a wet kiss, I need to confess

I need a vision, religion

The right to be silent, then to be heard

A week on an island, a diet that works

I need a dose of the bible, another course in survival

Just talk about the essentials, to make me feel alive

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please

That's all I need, see how easy I am

I need some money, more money and more time

A strong cup of coffee, a haircut, a lifeline

A stranger to trust me, my father to love me

Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rungran

I need a guitar, to do it on all fours

Cool friends, weekend, and someone to die for

When I'm alone on my couch, nothing can settle me down

I'm adding on to my list, it makes me feel alive

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please

That's all I need, see how easy I am

I need a guru, I need to chill

I need a Mercedes 280SL, yeah,

That'll fix it, I'll be complete

I need a, I need, I need a

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please

That's all I need, and maybe then I'll be complete

That's all I need, I'm not asking for everything

That's all I need, see how easy I am

Bitch

I hate the world today, your so good to me

I know but I can't change

Tried to tell you, but you look at me like

Maybe I'm an angel underneath

Innocent and sweet, yesterday I cried

You must have been relieved to see the softer side

I can understand how you can be confused, I don't envy you

I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover

I'm a child, I'm a mother

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell, I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am

This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man

Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous

And I'm going to extremes

Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover

I'm a child, I'm a mother

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell, I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

Just when you think you've got me figured out

The season is already changing

I think it's cool you do what you do

And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover

I'm a child, I'm a mother

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell, I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease

I'm a goddess on my knees

When your hurt, when you suffer

I'm your angel undercover

I've been numb, I'm revived

Can't say I'm not alive

You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Somedays

Somedays goes your way

Your on a roll you can't explain

And then it all goes down the drain

Your cat is hit by a car

The ATM eats your card

Your wondering what changed from yesterday

Save me from, from going mental

Save me from just spinning out

Somedays are better than others

Somedays you just can't figure out

Somedays you can't explain

My best friend and me one night

One drink a piece at Cresent Hive

Just like that we end up in a fight

Like a yo-yo up and down

Your headed north, you end up south

Save me from, from going mental

Save me from just spinning out

Somedays are better than others

Somedays you just can't figure out

Somedays are better than others

You can't explain somedays, always, someday

Save me from, from going mental

Save me from just spinning out

Somedays are better, somedays are never

Somedays whatever, somedays are better than lovers

Somedays you just can't figure out

Somedays are better than others

Somedays you just can't get out

Watched You Fall

You were my world companion

We were forever high, high, high

We burn the night around us

Sleeping could wait until we die

You wear the scars of passion

And since that crashing came

You've broken every promise

I walked away

I watched you fall

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya

Everybody else who watched you fall

Say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl

It's such a weary feeling

When you've been stealing from yourself

Wishing the world away, blaming someone else

No one can do this for you

Straighten your head, fix your face

Take all the pain inside you, wash it away

Did I hear you? Did I try?

Can I forgive myself for not standing by?

I watched you fall

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya

Like everybody else who watched you fall

Say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya

Said I loved you but I'm laughing when you crawl

Was blind to ya, I watched you fall

And I watched you

Pollyanne

Here we go again same old argument

You're calling me Miss Pollyanne

You see the world as cruel, and being mad is cool

You think that I don't give a damn

Ya don't have to shout to be heard

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird

I'd rather show ya signs of peace

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see

Oh, sentimental me

Fist up in the air, mine used to be up there

You only give yourself away

So paint your roses black and blue

Use the fuck word I can too

When I have nothing else to say

Ya don't have to shout to be heard

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird

I'd rather show ya signs of peace

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see

Oh, sentimental me

Sentimental me

Ya don't have to shout to be heard

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird

I'd rather show ya signs of peace

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see

Oh, sentimental me

Sentimental me, sentimental me

Here we go again, we may never change

So you can call me Pollyanne

Shatter

Prick of the pin, no blood on me

I've been tested, total wasted and too deep

To the zone I retreat

What doesn't kill you makes you strong eventually

Blade to my skin, blurring the edge

Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead

I just breathe in, I just breathe out

I've taken every hairpin curve by now

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack but it doesn't matter

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack

Promise the world, dropped in a pool

Was it fun? Did you enjoy acting so cool?

Here's the thing, still have my head

I stumbled hard but I'm not sleeping in your bed

Saved by the son, no shame on me

Come out screaming, it's the only time we're free

I just breathe out, I just breathe in

I'd ride the wave until I come again

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack but it doesn't matter

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack but I'll never shatter

Cause I still have a secret

In the dark I keep it closed

I still have a secret no one knows

I may crack but I'll never shatter

Destiny wasted over and over

I may crack but it doesn't matter

In the darkness I won't shatter

Shake down just did in time

It's amazing that I still

I just breathe in, I just breathe out

I may crack but I'll never shatter

Cause I still have a secret

In the dark I keep it closed

I still have a secret no one knows

In the dark I keep it closed

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack but I'll never shatter

I may crack

My Little Town

We lock the doors at night, all the sirens scream

I don't drive my car, insurance is too high

I live here in the city, my home town is far away

I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car

The stars come out at night, to see them on the strip

Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this

I'll never leave the small town girl behind

The place were I come from is with me all the time

You could walk the streets when the sun goes down

In my little town

You don't need defenses when the sun goes down

In my little town

Back home on the street after ten at night

Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on

She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good heath

You don't hear the harm when Mrs. Avery walks her dog

All I every wanted was a view of city lights

Break away from here, leave behind the quiet nights

Spend half your life trying to make a change

And the other half trying to get back again

You could walk the streets when the sun goes down

In my little town

You don't need defenses when the sun goes down

In my little town

What Would Happen

Electricity, eye to eye

Hey do I know you? I can't speak

Stripped my senses on the spot

I've never been defenseless

I can't even make sense of this

You speak and I don't hear a word

What would happen if we kissed?

Would your tongue slip past my lips?

Would you run away? Would you stay?

Or would I melt into you?

Mouth to mouth, lust to lust

Spontaneously combust

The room is spinning out of control

You act like you didn't notice, brushed my hand

Forbidden fruit, ring on my finger

Your such a moral moral man

Would you throw it away? A question

Will I pretend I'm innocent?

What would happen if we kissed?

Would your tongue slip past my lips?

Would you run away? Would you stay?

Or would I melt into you?

Mouth to mouth, lust to lust

Spontaneously combust

What would happen if we kissed?

I struggle with myself again

Quickly the walls are crumbling

Don't know if I can turn away

What would happen if we kissed?

Would your tongue slip past my lips?

Would you run away? Would you stay?

Or would I melt into you?

Mouth to mouth

Would your tongue slip past my lips?

Would you run away? Would you stay?

Or would I melt into you?

Mouth to mouth

If we kissed

If we kissed

It Don't Get Better

Woke up this morning with my head so heavy

Thought about leaving on the next train coming

Sometimes it gets so easy running from town to town

But changing bed won't change this feeling that I'm going to drown

Too many hearts are broken we're never asked why

Too many sunsets are just passing us by

Come over here don't be shy

Do you want to be happy or you want to be right?

It don't get much better than this

There's nowhere left to run to

No use worrying about what you missed

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this

We talk and talk and never know what it means

It really doesn't matter because nothings ever what is seems

All I ever wanted is here with you

But sometimes I get wrapped up and confused

So lets go down to the edge of the sand

Take some time and take my hand

So much here we don't understand

So kiss me like the world is going to end

It don't get much better than this

There's nowhere left to run to

No use worrying about what you missed

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this

Come on, come on take my hand

It don't get much better than this

There's nowhere left to run to

No use worrying about what you missed

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this

Birthday

When is you birthday? What's your middle name?

Who's your hero? What's your favorite flavor ice cream?

Can you tell me? Tell me this

Are you aries? Are you on the cusp of cancer?

Going to get to know you better, what, no it's not a quiz

You can trust me now, we'll dig a little deeper

Let's trade numbers, let's trade beepers

So I can find you anyplace

Hey, why you looking at your watch?

We haven't had desert

It's early just 8:30, only our first date

I wanna know do you love me yet?

Do you feel the same? Am I your everything?

I wanna know isn't true love great?

Come on tell me, when's your birthday?

Where ya going, why ya leaving?

After all we've been through can't you think of me?

I'll think of you, don't throw it all away

I'll quit my job, have your children

You'll work hard I'll spend your millions

Hey, no pressure, you've got time

Just don't make me wait

I wanna know do you believe in fate?

When your moving in, be my everything

I wanna know we are for always

Come on tell me, when's your birthday?

When's your birthday?

And it isn't just a ???? high

I never felt this way about any other guy before

I ain't getting any younger

I ain't fooling anymore

I wanna know do you love me yet?

I wanna wear your ring, be your everything

I wanna know isn't true love great?

Come on tell me Come on tell me I wanna know do you believe in fate?

Do you feel the same? be my everything

Come on tell me

When's your birthday?

Stop

It's seven in the morning and your walking out the door

You got no time for coffee

I'm starring here remembering when my kisses made you late

Gonna take a minute for my morning meditation

But I'm on the phone call... waiting... click... done

Under an invasion I feel like

I'm a spinning ball in a lottery cage

If we aren't making love how can we be lovers?

Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers

Before it gets to late I'm gonna say

Stop what you're doing and love me now

I'm making my move come on and love me now

I come home so tired just wanna put my feet up

You watch Letterman and eat something old I heat up

Then we both fall asleep before the rooster starts to crow

No time to fight we pretend love is so sweet

When all we're missing is what's between the sheets

Used to find an hour between start and go

What ever happened to staying up all night?

When the bed became our island and it was just you and I

Our troubles would slip away when we said

Stop what you're doing and love me now

I'm making my move come on and love me now

Time... time...

Time... time... time...

Are we beating the time?

Just you and I, magic ride

If we aren't making love how can we be lovers?

Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers

Before it gets to late I'm gonna say

Stop what you're doing and love me now

I'm making my move come on and love me now

Stop what you're doing and love me now

I'm making my move come on and love me now

Wash my hands

Washed my hands of crimes

Pour the water over my skin, my spine

Cleanse my soul and ease my mind

I've been fixing all the damage done

Why do I always forget how far I've come?

I'm done dying for the past

I'm done dying for the past

Sins all forgiven now

Let's call an even ????

Can't you judge me for my love

And not mistakes I've made

I swear by who I am and not by yesterday

I'm done dying for the past

I'm done dying for the last time

The last time, the last time, the last time

In between black and white I disappear

Circled around the stone until I landed here

I'm done dying for the past

I'm done dying for the past

I'm done dying

I'm done for the last time
