When You Knew Nothing

You’re gonna cry,

Yourself to sleep,

You’re gonna have a new dream,

And wake up and realize what it means.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

He held your hand,

He walked you home,

He smiled and winked and

Made you feel whole.

But when, he’s gone

And you hold your own hand,

You’re gonna realize,

You’re gonna understand.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

And once you know it all,

That’s when you want to know nothing.

You wish you didn’t know now,

What you didn’t know then,

But you can never go back there again.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

A Girl Like Me

I said come in from the rain

I said he could stay

The night was so cold,

I had to tell him to go

 

I said come on upstairs

He said don’t mind if I do,

He wrung himself out,

And then I hung him up blue

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

I stared for awhile,

Until he fell asleep,

I woke him up to tell him

Go back to his dreams.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

And then, when he says goodbye,

He sees me wave hello,

And as he’s walking away,

I’m ready to go.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

Am I Your Poison?

When you talk, it’s right in my ear

What you say, I won’t repeat

I think you’ve got, the right idea

About me.

 

You’ve got the nerve, to keep me nervous,

When you sleep, I stay awake,

I think you’ve got, the right ideas,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

 

When we touch, it’s something unreal,

Where you see, nobody’s seen.

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About me.

 

I hear your heartbeat, I feel you shaking,

I count the stutters in your speech,

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

Am I? Am I? Am I?

Am I your poison, baby?

Aren’t you a boy

Who finds it easy

To fall in love

Aren’t I a girl

Who finds it easy

To fall in love with you

Every Little Caterpillar

You didn’t haveta ask me what I want

You didn’t haveta tell me to go find

Something thrilling, something capturing,

My butterfly mind,

Here we go again,

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

 

You didn’t haveta tell me to watch the nets,

But you didn’t haveta make me learn the hard way,

How to fall into the night,

Sleeping on the outskirts,

Of my butterfly mind,

Here we go again,

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

 

Chasing, the clouds, and the sun, and the stars,

Finding out where I can perch and watch it all,

I wonder how small I am compared to what’s out there,

Beating my wings faster cause what choice do I have?

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

Nothing New To Say

Dust me off,

With your sandpaper voice in my ear,

Wipe me clean,

Cause I know how it goes,

When your nights get away.

 

Curl me up,

Like your morning news paper,

I got nothing new to say,

Anyway.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

 

Take me out,

Of the game I need a team to play.

Write me off,

In your head cause I’m on the way

To a place with a silk sunset backdrop.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

 

Did you see me,

Pre-meditation,

Pre-fixation,

With fixing the world,

Did you want me?

Post-semi-accidental

Push to the edge.

I got nothing new to say,

Anyways.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

Doorstep (Jennifer’s Song)

You don’t haveta let me in

Let me sleep on your doorstep, baby

Listen to you while you’re dreaming

Breathing heavy even when you’re sleeping

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

I promise,

I’ve missed you,

Real, real bad,

But make me swear that you’re the only one,

Who’s been sleeping in my head

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

Oh call me by my first name,

Cause by baby, should I know you mean me

Anymore, well do you still know my name?

You’ll go away, I’ll wait here,

You’ll find me with something I found to keep busy

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

I can’t tell you, how you’ve changed her,

You’re still a stranger,

But she cried tears in the rain, for you

On her doorstep she’ll be waiting,

For a love that’s worth the wait

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

Need

Keep me in your dysfunction

I want you in my ear

Keep me lost in your heaven

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

 

I’ll dance in your hands

Force air between your lips

She’ll leave you crawling

She’ll leave you broken

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

 

I’m lining up to kiss

From your toes up to your lips

I don’t care about first or second

I just wanna be one of your choices

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

You need me to need you…

Drift

Didn’t I meet you under the bridge?

Opened myself, let me in your hands,

Now, how can you say I don’t know how to try

Made a wish on a sparkling star

Flew away, or fell so far,

Watch the trail go down your cheek,

Why can’t I make you fly?

 

I let the dust collect on this shelf,

On the film of my eyes,

I let my heart sit up there,

It’s my fault I drift and slide.

Shaky Hands

You’ve been staring at me silent for just a little too long,

I’m starting to overthink that maybe I said something wrong,

And you asked me to dance but now I’m walking on eggshells,

And I can’t say I’m sorry enough times to ease your mind.

And I know you said you wanted more than friends,

But I can’t just go and put my heart in shaky hands.

 

You’re insecure,

You’re immature,

You say I don’t love you enough,

To change your mind.

You’re insecure,

You’re immature,

Fine then, I don’t love you enough,

To lose my mind.

Spinning On Its Heel

How can I still want more

Because I thought I had

Everything

I told you, some feelings aren’t forever,

But I guess my own will go on for a long time.

 

But now the world is spinning on it’s heel

I think it’s gonna stop if you touch and don’t feel

When it comes to you, I’m my own worst enemy

I hope you’re wrong, and your heart still beats for me.

 

How can I still ask more

Because I thought we had

Everything.

And I told you, I told you so, I told myself

But neither one of us listened, and I was right.

 

But now the world is spinning on it’s heel

I think it’s gonna stop if you touch and don’t feel

When it comes to you, I’m my own worst enemy

I hope you’re wrong, and your heart still beats for me.

 

Now I’m awake, and it’s 4 am,

And I wish you never said that,

I wish you never said that.

Now I’m awake, and it’s 4 am,

Do you wish you never said that,

Will you wish you never said that?

Should I be thankful?

Should I be broken?

I’m still crying on your bed.

I wish you never said that.

I wish you never said that.

Cause now if you, change your mind,

I doubt it will, change mine.

 

But now the world is spinning on it’s heel

I think it’s gonna stop if you touch and don’t feel

When it comes to you, I’m my own worst enemy

I hope you’re wrong, and your heart still beats for me.

But now the world is spinning on it’s heel

I think it’s gonna stop if you touch and don’t feel

When it comes to you, I’m my own worst enemy

I hope you’re wrong, and your heart still beats for me.

Now we sleep on the dinner table,

With rules I can’t keep straight,

Cause I can’t do nothing right,

With everyone’s eyes always on me.
