"Freak Of The Week"
I spend a lot on all the clothes that I got
Cuz all the geeks that I meet, they all look cooler than me
What to do when they're all looking at you
Cuz you're the freak of the week, cuz you're on the TV
Chorus:
Can you make me a promise
Stop it before we begin
Will you hold onto me head
If I ever lose it again
I've got a shrink, I swear he's elvis I think
He wears the coolest suede shoes, when I come in with the blues
He thinks it's all about culture and art, but the truth of it is,
that it rips me apart
Chorus
Tell me I sold out
Tell me I sold out go ahead

"Frozen Charlotte"
Blue like the winter snow in the full moon
Black like the silhouettes of the trees
Late blooming flowers lie frozen underneath the stars
I want you to remember me that way
Far away
I'll be gone. Will you wait for me?
How long?
I don't know. Will you wait for me?
Still, as the river grows in December
Silent and perfect blinding ice
Spring keeps her promises
No cold can keep her back
I want you to remember me that way
Far away
I'll be gone. Will you wait for me here?
How long?
I don't know but wait for me here
Follow
Don't follow me to where, where I go
Far away
I'll be gone. Will you wait for me here?
How long?
I don't know, will you wait for me here?
Follow
Don't follow me to where I've gone
Follow
Don't follow me to where I've gone
Someday you'll take my place
And I'll wait for you here

Kiss Me
kiss me out of the bearded barley
nightly beside the green green grass
swing swing swing that spinning step
you wear those shoes and i will wear that dress
oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
lead me out on the moonlit floor
lift your open hand strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
silver moon's sparkling so kiss me
kiss me down by the broken treehouse
swing me up on its hanging tire
bring bring bring your flowered hat
we'll take the trail marked down your father's map
oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
lead me out on the moonlit floor
lift your open hand strike up the band and makes the fireflies dance
silver moon's sparkling so kiss me

I'll Remember You
It's daybreak, and you are asleep,
I can hear you breathe now,
Your breath is deep
But before I go,
I'll look at you one last time,
I can hear a heart beat, is it yours or is it mine?
I look at your lips, I know how soft they can be,
Did they know what they wanted, the times they kissed me,
And your hands, that I've held in mine,
Now they're reposing on the pillow,
Will they ever miss me sometime?
I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember
Your eyes, that always make me shiver,
Now they're closed, they just sometimes twitch a little,
And your body, I could hold for an hour,
It sent me to heaven, with its heat and power,
I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember

All I Want
Can't ignore or hide away
Can't escape from the things that line our way
Take it leave it brake it
Anyway you can't get back to yesterday
All I want, all I wanna do
You better listen from now on
Stop what's going on stop whats going wrong
You better listen from now on
Confidence, coincidence call it a sin
Its just like people say
Tomorrow's here so open up your eyes
Never hesitate
All I want, all I wanna do
Is make you listen from now on
Sleeping in the dark dreaming of the stars
Keep one to wish on from now on, Oh... oh...
It makes me wanna give you everything
Pick you up and take you home again
Hold you tight and think that now is then
All I want to do, all I want to do
You better listen from now on
Open arms and crying eyes
Say hello or wave goodbye
Which one are you thinking of?
Oh... Oh...
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
Is make you listen, from now on
Stop whats going on
Stop whats going wrong from now on
It's all I wanna do, all I wanna say
You better listen from now on
Sleeping in the dark, dreaming of the stars
Keep one to wish on from now on
All I wanna do all I wanna say
Is everything I feel from now on

Saturday
Saturday is not that hard
It's not that hard
to plan that day
Saturday is not too far
It's not too far
to plan that day
Let your thoughts
take you anywhere
leave to let you in
Follow me up the trail
to the pinnacles
It's a long way down
through your heart
Saturday is not that hard
It's not that hard
to plan that day
Understand
like you never have
Throw your arms
around the world
Follow me up the trail
to the pinnacles
It's a long way down
through your heart
When it's Saturday I'm lost
When it's Saturday I'm lost
When I fall behind and I
just don't seem to mind
When it's Saturday I'm lost

Thinking Out Loud
Thinking out loud
Is all I'm doing
Trying to raise my love
Above the ruins
With each song
I kick it around,
Thinking . . .
My love I can tell
There's a load on your mind
If we poured ourselves
Like this bottle of wine
And let it flow,
We'll figure it out
Thinking out loud
But it's hard to think with all the racket
Going on inside our heads
All this worrying is getting us nowhere
Let's go somewhere instead
Just thinking out loud
Is it all we're good for?
Trying to raise our love
But always falling short
Heaven knows
What it's all about
Thinking out loud
With each song
I kick it around
Thinking out loud

The Blues
My name is Dawson Leery
I'm feeling kind of weary
Today's my birthday
And you all look a little blurry
The girl that I cared for
Left me and ran away
Straight in to the arms of guy
Who turned out to be gay
I got the blues
Today I woke up feeling like I was born to lose
Yeah, I got the blues,
Somedays you were born to lose.
My name is Andie
And my brother is the one who's gay
My other brother died
And my daddy went away...
But I'm still Andie
And my boyfriend makes me randy
His name is Pacey
And my mom's gone completely crazy!!!
I've got the blues
Yeah, sometimes you swear you were born to lose
We got the blues...
Now it's time to put on my dancing shoes...
I've been restless
Hopeless and confused
This girl that I told you about
She's been on the move
She's at my surprise party
Where everyone I know is right now
When I show up late there
They're all gonna have a cow
Yeah, I've got the blues
You swear sometimes you were born to lose
We got the blues
Yeah, we got the blues
Yeah, sometimes you know you were born to lose.
Ohhhh yeah....

Feels Like Home
Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms.
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast,
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life.
If you knew how lonely my life has been,
And how long I've been so alone.
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along,
And change my life the way you've done.
(chorus)
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails
In the night
But I'm alright cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there is light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
(chorus)
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

Lose Your Way
I have no confidence
And I can't see why I should
But I could do most anything for you
And you know I would
I try too hard and
Then I give up way too easily
I'm the runner-up inside of you
And you're the winner inside of me
(chorus)
Lose your way
And I will follow
Here today
And here tomorrow
Let me free, don't I know
I'll never let you go
I still wish on an evening star
And I suppose I always will
Every child loses something
Her whole life can't fulfill
When you cry
I feel the sky burst open in my face
If lovin' you makes a slave of me
Then I'll spend my whole life in chains
(chorus)
Walk the line,
I'll walk inside you,
Change your mind,
Let your love decide you
It's the reason I know
You'll never let me go.
Never let me go.
Never let me go.
(chorus)
Walk the line
I'll walk inside you
Change your mind,
Let your love decide you
It's the reason I know
You'll never let me go.

Life's a Bitch
Everybody's tellin' all, barin their souls,
Just to go on the Ricki Lake Show..
(shoop-be-boop-boop why?)
Yesterday I turned the TV on you were
booed off stage singing your famous love song
(Why?)
Tell me who makes the rules...
(chorus)
Should have been born on the Milky Way
What have we brought to the world today?
Life's a bitch and then you die.
Should have been born on the Milky Way
Can't believe what I heard today
Life's a bitch and then you die.
I mean, why have I got the magazines sellin' me
tellin' me lies on how I could be the perfect 10
(shoop-be-boop-boop why?)
And my boyfriend left the other day
He's all messed up is he straight or is he gay
(shoop-be-boop-boop why?)
So tell me who makes the rules...
(chorus)
And if I fall...
If I fall...
Hold on...

Shimmer
Sharing with us what he knows
Shining eyes are big and blue
And all around him water flows
This world to him is new
(This world to him is new)
(chorus)
He's born to shimmer
He's born to shine
He's born to radiate
He's born to live
He's born to love
But we will teach him how to hate
And this thing we call our time
I heard a brilliant woman say
She said "You know it's crazy how I want to try and capture mine"
I think this woman's way
(I think this woman's way)
The way she shimmers
The way she shines
The way she radiates
The way she lives
The way she loves
The way she never hates
Sometimes I think of all this that surrounds me
And i know that all is being mine
But she kisses me and she wraps herself around me
And she gives me love she gives me time
I feel fine
I feel fine
But time I can not change
So here's to looking back
You know I drink a whole bottle of my pride
And I toast to change
To keep these demons off my back
(Just get these demons off my back)
I want to shimmer
I want to shine
I want to radiate
I want to live
I want to love
I want to try to learn how not to hate
We're born to shimmer
We're born to shine
We're born to radiate
We're born to live
We're born to love
We're born to never hate
He's born to shimmer.
He's born to shine.
He's born to radiate.
He's born to live.
He's born to love.
But we will teach you not to hate.

To Be Loved
Mind your manners
Watch your weight
Be a good boy
Just behave
What's wrong with you?
Settle down.
Keep your two feet on the ground.
Stand up straight
Sit up tall
Never falter
Never fall
Stay in school
Make the grade
Never fail
And never fade
Be a hero
Be a star
Anything but what you are
Find a girl to possess
Always pay, pursue, protect
Be a master
Be a slave
Work your ass into an early grave
(chorus)
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel
Daddy's favorite little girl
Dress up in your momma's pearls
Serve us breakfast in her bed
Heard a little kiss on the forehead
You are sugar
You are spice
You are growing up so nice
Paint your nails
Paint your face
Paint around the empty space
Find a man that can provide
Try and fill the hole inside
With a family and a home
Tell yourself you're not alone
Keep your memories of yourself
In a shoebox on a closet shelf
(chorus 2x)
You deserve to be loved (3x)

Did You Ever Love Somebody?
Did you ever love somebody?
So much that the earth moved
Did you ever love somebody?
Even though it hurt to
Did you ever love somebody?
Nothing else the heart could do
Did you ever love somebody?
Who never knew
Did you ever lay your head down?
On the shoulder of a good friend?
And then have to look away somehow
Had to hide the way you felt for them?
Have you ever prayed the day would come?
You'd hear them say they feel it too
Did you ever love somebody?
Who never knew.
And if you did,
Well, you know I'd understand
I could I would
More than anybody can
Did you ever love somebody?
So much that the earth moves
Did you ever love somebody?
Even though it hurt to
Did you ever love somebody?
Nothing else your heart could do
Did you ever love somebody?
Like I love you.
Like I love you.
Like I love you.

Ready for a Fall
You sit there in my shadows
And you call it your relief
Don't be the one with bad eyes for
The things that I could see
Don't give me that
The darkness has no armor
Need protection from the air
High hopes through time passing
When I see I want you there
(Chorus)
I can't believe
You're the one for me
If it was this easy to find you
I should be ready for a fall
I should be ready for a fall
Now my wonders rally
Around the person I once was
Like a bird that I've been helping
Hope you're healed and strong
You never know when you might have to fly
Where will you go after me
Where will you go after I set you free
And I don't know you from a page in my book
Though I should
Though I should
(Chorus)
Where will you go after me
Where will you go after I set you free
And I don't know you from a page in my book
Though I should
(Chorus until end)
