Singer/songwriter Rachael Yamagata grew up listening to Carole King, Roberta Flack, James Taylor, and the like, for music was the one thing in Yamagata's life that remained consistent. Her parents divorced when she was two, forcing her to find a balance between her German-Italian mother's apartment in New York City and the Washington, D.C. residence of her third-generation Japanese father. Such frequent travel readied Yamagata for a way of life that would eventually lead her to a professional singing career. By the time she reached Northwestern University in the mid-'90s, Yamagata had one year of piano lessons and a spiral notebook full of songs under her belt. After pursuing a degree in French for one year, she relocated to New York to become an Italian theater major at Vassar. Sporadic changes loomed ahead, however. When her acting coach at Vassar moved to Barnard College, Yamagata thought she would go, too. She eventually opted to return to Northwestern instead, where she joined the theater program and befriended the funk band Bumpus during her junior year. Bumpus was a mainstay on the club circuit in Chicago, and Yamagata soon landed a gig singing with the band. She spent six years in the lineup, recording three albums and touring the country along the way.
By 2001, however, Yamagata felt her time with Bumpus had run its course. She had a solid batch of songs that didn't gel with the band's funkafied formula, and a solo career was soon launched. Happenstance In September 2002, Yamagata landed a deal with Arista's Private Music, and her self-titled EP arrived in October. Her first full-length album, Happenstance, followed in June 2004. Featuring production from John Alagía, who had previously helmed such albums as John Mayer's Room for Squares and Dave Matthews Band's Busted Stuff, the album's pop-tinged sound found its way onto several teen-driven TV shows, including The O.C. and Alias. Happenstance also endeared Yamagata to such musicians as Ray LaMontagne, Jason Mraz, Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst, and Rhett Miller, all of whom invited her to perform on their albums as Yamagata readied her sophomore effort. Boosted by such support, she returned in 2008 with Elephants...Teeth Sinking into Heart, an eclectic release that featured both intimate material and PJ Harvey-inspired rock.

1963 Baby, I'm stuck in the middle, and I don't know why Find the words you sing to be Sweeter than the words of the bird in the sky Oh, the days you came around I feel so good for me I can take most anything Cause what you bring I find it to be magical I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 Flowers in my hair Little bitty hearts upon my cheek Baby, you'll be on my mind 'Til I kiss you next time Baby, come on, take a ride in my little blue bug Keep the windows down Don't forget to celebrate the radio's up Oh, the way you hold my hand There is no other way We could take a thousand walks And laugh all day I find it to be magical I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 Flowers in my hair now Little bitty hearts upon my cheek Baby, you'll be on my mind 'Til I kiss you next time Under My Skin I hesitate to say I was bait for you Could that be something that you all would do? I'd be lying if I did now say I wasn't intrigued But timing is everything here, and for the moment the "we" is reprieved But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover That I like her Would you please get out from under my skin? For I can't begin this yet And I don't know what my intentions are They're speaking in a different tongue And deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem But I won't let you know Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance And you should go I'm in the dance, and it's a chance But stay and watch awhile I'll be singing a tune just for you with a smile And maybe, if I'm lucky You'll tip your hat to me, and you'll discover That you like her Would you please get out from under my skin? For I can't begin this yet And I don't know what my intentions are They're speaking in a different tongue And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem But I won't let you know Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance And you should go Crazy as it all plays out I think I'm lonelier than I've ever been before 'Cause I was so close To going through that door But I don't want to be to blame for them I don't want to be to blame Oh, would you please get out from under my skin? For I can't begin this yet And I don't know what my intentions are They're speaking in a different tongue And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem But I won't let you know Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance, and you should go Oh, would you please get out I'm not as strong as I seem, but I won't let you know
Meet Me by the Water Would you please meet me by the water, baby? We'll have a really good time Would you please meet me by the water, baby? 'Cause I can't get you off of my mind I've been thinking everyday about you Don't fit anywhere into my life, but that's okay 'Cause I think I might be right for you And because of that, I'm not scared at all And everyone says I'm crazy And everyone says I'm a fool Would you meet me by the water tonight? 'Cause I'm ready to break all the rules Please don't leave me standing with my heart in my hand I can't last here I'm breaking down, and no one understands why I got here But I knew from the very first moment that I met you You'd be the one Would you meet me by the water tonight? Would you please fall asleep holding my hand? 'Cause I've got everything in store for you, baby If you'll be my man Even so You're gonna hate me when I tell you everything You're gonna question whether you really know me at all You will revisit every smile, and where it fit into the day I know this is how it will play And I try, oh I try to think of all the things That I could do to let you know that I love you Even so I was not looking to do you wrong Was not looking for a change of scenery Don't remember where, or when, or how I did But I'm hoping that you'll forgive me And I try, oh I try to think of all the things That I could do to let you know that I love you Do you remember how we used to run in the summertime? Do you remember how we'd run in the summertime? Oh I try, I try so very hard And I cry, I cry so very much For I love you like you'll never let yourself feel again I love you like a brother and a friend I love you with my whole heart until it bends I love you like a lover until the very end But I'll always think of all the things You did to let me know that you love me But you're leaving Even so I Want You You sat down next to me, like poetry to wine Our window looked upon a yellow neon sign I took your hand while you decided what to do The only kiss I ever miss, I shared with you The other cities hold a memory still of a place But when I dream of London, I can only see your face I want you Or no one No one else will do You, or no one No one is the only one to fill the empty space I hold for you You simplified me down to slogans on the wall I took offense, but you were right about them all My friends are telling me I shouldn't waste my time But I can't concentrate until I make you mine I'm drawing cards and making wishes down by the well Who would've known I'd lose myself in the old hotel I want you Or no one No one else for me You, or no one No one else is strong enough To slow me down in time to set me free I want you Or no one No one else is fine Oh, you, or no one No one is the only one To fill me up until I make you mine
Reason Why I think about how it might have been We'd spend our days travelin' It's not that I don't understand you It's not that I don't want to be with you But you only wanted me The way you wanted me So, I will head out alone and hope for the best And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes You can tell the world what you want them to hear I've got nothing left to lose, my dear So, I'm up for the little white lies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there I'll buy a magazine searching for your face From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place I'll track you on the radio And I'll sign your list in a different name But as close as I come to you It's not the same So, I will head out alone and hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there So, steal the show And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for The way I might've changed my mind But you only showed me the door So, I will head out alone and hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried And if one of us makes it big We can spill our regrets And talk about how the love never dies But you and I know the reason why Quiet Baby says I can't come with him And I had read all of this in his eyes Long before he even said so Why go, I asked? You know, and I know why And it'll be just as quiet when I leave As it was when I first got here I don't expect anything Take care I've been hurt before Too much time spent on closing doors You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you Goodbye Don't cry You know why And it'll be just as quiet when I leave As it was when I first got here I don't expect anything All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery As they steal your best memories away What if I was someone different in your only history? Would you feel the same As I walk out the door Never to see your face again And it'll be just as quiet when I leave As it was when I first got here It'll be just as quiet when I leave As it was when I first got here I don't expect anything to change when I leave
Ode To No thanks No more No love I’m done I’ve had enough You’re going off with her And I wish I was But there’s another can be Just because All right Be on your way The kindest thing to say Is not that you have fallen for me say You’ll come back to my arms again someday Baby, write Some words about How you can’t shut me out How you must find a way To see me one more time One more time And please call up all your friends and tell them it can’t end You don’t know what you’d do If you lost her And lost me too That’s fine That’s good That’s nice I understand the price The cost of craving dark Instead of light I flip a coin to see if you still care tonight My blood My hand My soul I’ve thrown them onto you without control The things I freely give You stole And now I’m left in pieces Baby tell The world about me The way you won me over In a city you can’t remember You think it was September Sweet September Oh baby Oh it’s all right I know she needs you more than I do And I wouldn’t win this fight But there is one thing That you’ve gotta do, You’ve gotta tell the world about a Girl you once knew Oh she Wasn’t meant to be But you Fell so very deeply In love With me To all the girls he’s loved To all the girls he’s loved

Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart
Elephants If the elephants have past lives Yet are destined to always remember It's no wonder how they scream Like you and I they must have some temper And I am dreaming of them on the plains Dirtying up their beds Watching for some sign of rain To cool their hot heads And how dare that you send me that card When I am doing all that I can do You are forcing me to remember When all I want is to just forget you If the tiger shall protect her young Then tell me how did you slip by Oh my instincts have failed me for once I must have somehow slept the whole night And I am dreaming of them with their kill Tearing it all apart Blood dripping from their lips And teeth sinking into heart And how dare that you say you'll call When you know I need some piece of mind If you had to take sides with the animals Won't you do it with one who is kind And if the hawks in the trees need the dead If you're living you don't stand a chance For a time though you share the same bed There are only two ends to this dance You can flee with your wounds just in time Or lie there as he feeds Watching yourself ripped to shreds And laughing as you bleed So for those of you falling in love Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right Throw yourself in the midst of danger But keep one eye open at night What If I Leave Why don't you call When you say you will my dear Is it because I don't belong to you And why don't you call When you say you will my dear Do you really think it would work out wrong What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave Why don't you call Don't you miss me at all Left a long long time ago To where the weather was better for his kind Why won't you place The girl who loves your face I may be a fool oh no But I never understood these rules What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave So I grow up lonely for another With the windy city left behind to my lover Will you ever know the way I cried You were gone that day so you may have missed my goodbye And sometimes in my dreams I hear you say "If you really cared you won't go away" What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave What if I leave
Little life When all of this Makes the news Will they remember to tell it right Or will devils make off in the night Can you tell me why A god so high has us fight As she lays in bed In her piece of ground Will they remember her blessed soul Or just that she lost all control Can you tell me why she had to die alone And people wake up People get moving There’s a life waiting here Get up People stop doing There’s a life waiting here When all our time is spent away Will we remember the loves of our past Or just that love never lasts Can you tell me why This little life goes so fast Sunday Afternoon It's a choice to stay It's a dream and I wanna wake You have blood on your hands And I'm feeling faint And honey you can't decide I'm a drug you don't wanna give up Smoke your cigarette Make your love You pour blood in my heart I can't get enough I'm drowning And you can't decide It's not about geography or happenstance You need to fly and take a chance You need to shine to emptiness Float on high and forever dance alone You're scared 'Cause I feel like home I hear your voice And I knew right away If you were here What your eyes would say I have blood on my feet As I walk away The rivers are red It's starting to rain I'm not gonna live for you or die for you Or do anything anymore for you Because you leave me here on the other side You leave me here on the other side I won't live for you or die for you Or do anything anymore for you Because you leave me here on the other side Oh you leave me here on the other side I won't live for you or die for you Or do anything anymore for you Because you leave me here on the other side Oh you leave me on the other side I won't live for you or die for you Or do anything anymore for you Because you leave me here on the other side You leave me here on the other side I won't live for you or die for you Or do anything anymore for you I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you Shed one more tear for you I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you At least not 'til Sunday afternoon Sunday afternoon Duet Oh lover, hold on 'Til I come back again For these arms are growing tired And my tales are wearing thin If you're patient I will surprise When you wake up I'll have come All the anger Will settle down And we'll go do All the things we should have done 'Cause I remember what we said As we lay down to bed I'll be here If you will only come back home Oh lover, I'm lost Because the road I've chosen Beckons me away Oh lover, I've done you wrong Now I'm fighting words I never thought I'd say But I remember what we said As we lay down to bed I'll forgive you If you just come back home Oh lover, I know You'll be out there And be thinking just of me And I will find you Down the road And we'll return back home To where we're meant to be 'Cause I remember what we said As we lay down to bed We'll be back as soon As we make history
Over and Over I really thought I was okay I really thought I was just fine But when I woke this time There was nothing to take me back to sleep To take you off my mind This time And I keep saying over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within a storm So have the lightning come And bring the winds that scream And spill the fog all over town And hold me in your standstill ground And I will sink down And you'll be washed away You'll be washed away Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I really thought I was okay I really thought I was just fine But when I woke up this time There was nothing to take you off my mind Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain Over and over and over and over again Let it rain, let it rain I need to hide within a storm So have the lightning come And bring the winds that scream And spill the fog all over town And break through every door And strip away the trees And raise the rivers high Just help me drown And hold me in your standstill ground And I will sink down And you'll be washed away You'll be washed away
Brown eyes Brown eyes will you wait for me to follow I’m used to letting everybody down I’ve seen your face in every shadow Does it look as pretty in the light Will you save me from myself Will I save you from the rest Oh, brown eyes Save a little something for me too Full moon is there wisdom in your tide play The cold is coming now Like love you're throwing everybody off Sleep just doesn’t taste the same I’ll be waiting till we’re side by side once again Old love, how I wish we were an old love Have survived all this and more Oh, you’re turning everything to dust And the wind is picking up Oh, brown eyes Save a little something for me too
*** Thanx a lot to Jonathan for this one ***
Horizon The last time I lay my eyes upon you You were blowing kisses And I was waiting in the car Something had died, yet Everything around kept turning Don’t even know where you are Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon I’ve been looking 'round, up and down To no avail Someday I hope to find the horizon I’ve been all around the world Yet nothing is clear The last time I held you It was head to heart The curtain was drawn I left you sleeping so sound If I had known forever After we would stay apart I would have whispered All the things I can’t tell you now Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon I’ve been looking ‘round, up and down To no avail, no avail Someday I hope I can find the horizon I’ve been all around the world I don’t believe in you Like I so wanted to I hope you’re asking heavens above To forgive all the damage you’ve done And if I did teach you anything at all I hope that you learned how to love But I doubt if I'll ever talk to you, after now Somewhere along the line we lost our horizon I’ve been looking ‘round, up and down To no avail, no avail Someday I hope we can find the horizon I’ve been all around the world And nothing is clear, no No, no, no Nothing is clear to me now, at all Nothing is clear, oh, nothing is clear Nothing is clear to me now, at all Nothing is clear, nothing is clear Nothing is clear to me, nothing is clear Nothing is clear, nothing is clear Nothing is clear
The Only Fault If I could have one wish If I could have some say I'd keep you far from home I'd roll back both my sleeves Dig under your skin And fix your shattered bones Hold on, this may hurt you When I tell you of the truth We don't get two lives to live It's true, the only fault I found in you Is not being free to take what I would give If I could bend your pain Into something good Make you a prouder man If I could rough you up And save you with good luck I'd show you hope again Hold on, we're not meant to suffer so very long Leaving love that's gone has never been a sin Hang tight, the only fault you have tonight Shutting down so cold 'til I break in Oh, sad young man, I think I need you For reasons I don't know I pledge myself to winter season So it's perfectly on course But in the end it has to snow If I can make you stay Convince you you'd be lost if we were torn apart If it remained unclear Between the two of us Which one would be the one To break the other's heart. Hold on, this will floor me Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep It's true, the only fault I'll take from you Is how to run from what you wish to keep

Accident I think he's in a jealous rage She's probably not the easiest one to live with either There's nothing worse than bitterness Just splashed across a page I don't think that either one of them are fit to be a writer Oh, she’d just shut up and do what she does best Show a little bit of skin But keep it all when she's undressed And doesn't she know that she is doing it all wrong You can't tell a joke, yeah If I'm listening to your song Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter Is making me sick Even though they say it doesn't matter Let's put them in a room Or maybe they should stay apart Or maybe words in their mouth, yeah Let's fuck with their hearts 'Cause nobody's ordering change So let’s watch everybody bleed 'Cause everybody loves an accident And everybody loves what they read I think he's gonna be a big star A voice of social change to rearrange the world’s perspective But there's nothing better than watching him go down He could pick up a habit or get in trouble That might be effective Oh, If he'd just shut off his conscience for one day And take a cue from all of us And give us a song we can really play Doesn't he know he's going down And going down fast If he keeps on being difficult He'll always come in last Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter Is making me sick Even though they say it doesn't matter Lets take away his toys Forget why we loved him at all He's calling for backup But, we're not strong enough to take that fall And nobody needs to change So let's go all have a beer 'Cause everybody loves an accident And everybody loves what they hear Two sides working together Then working against one another, oh brother Two bad souls are destroyed It's the nature of business And all of its partners Oh look, they're losing all of their trust Oh look, they're trying to bite the helping hand that feeds them We put clothes on their backs And they took the money up front Now they don't like what we're saying So let's up and leave them We would have done what they are doing anyway Some shit about digging into souls And life’s lasting misery We're gonna take them down And do it on the front page Ph and watch those hypocrites come crawling back on bended knee Oh and all of this talking and all of this chatter Is making me sick Even though they say it doesn't matter I'm becoming a bore now I am wasting ashore now We're all busted and broken But the subject's unspoken 'Cause nobody really wants to change But it's sure fun to advertise the fight We're feeding off each other once again But neither one of us is getting any sleep tonight I hope I hope I really hope I hope I hope I hope I hope Faster I can't talk to you You think I'm lost inside my mind You're like an old tattoo And I know you'll fade in time I'm not the girl you think you know I'm not the girl you waited for I'm not the one for you It's just one thing left to do Why don't you let me be 'Cause I'm a million miles away Why don't you set me free 'Cause you don't treat me like you say I won't tuck you in one last time I'm taking back what is mine for me I belong to me And I'm going faster You're going backwards You're gonna miss me when I'm gone I'm going faster I know what I'm after I should've been after it all along I'm going faster I'm going faster That's the last black eye I hope I ever give to you Yeah I had a good time But what's a girl supposed to do Take the pictures off the wall They don't look like us at all They don't look like friends I've got new things to begin Why don't you let me be 'Cause I'm a million miles away Why don't you set me free I belong to me 'Cause I'm going faster You're going backwards You're gonna miss me when I'm gone I hang from the ceiling I feel what I'm feeling I should've been feeling it all along I'm going faster I'm going faster Da da da da da...

Even If I Don't I miss you most in the morning Most every morning I wake up thinking I could call I could come visit I could come running We could relive it But when I think of all that we've went through Going back to you Seems such a foolish thing to do I hope you know That even if I don't I wanted to All those words You said at the ending Were pretty revealing And I can't forget them All those ways We missed at connecting Despite all our trying It always came back To what I couldn't give you Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin So when I think of starting up again Or trying to be friends It seems impossible to do I hope you know That even if we can't I wanted to Who knows why Two people perfectly aligned Should ever have to find themselves apart I may never understand my heart I miss you Most in the morning Most every morning I wake up crying Starlight I couldn't see a thing tonight Not one star Not one star has shone for you I couldn't see a thing

look outside 'Cause I'll need you Something about you is like Drinking a cold glass of water Everyone needs a place to go to sometimes Something about you is like Going against Mother Nature And I just had to face her everytime Starlight makes it all the same No light and I feel the pain Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby Starlight and I feel the same Missed flight on this aeroplane I'd jump from a moving train Just to keep you Would you do it for me As I watch you walk across the street I keep wondering why I can't leave All the heavens are against me and you Do you even know a

to you Baby, I think you know When I get my arms around you, boy, I won't let go When you find a spark to awaken your precious heart You stick around and you'll see it through I've been in trouble before with my pressured ember I'm willing to take that chance again And if we get caught in some crazy wind We can just get swept away, what do you say Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Baby, make up your mind 'Cause you know I don't wanna waste time We don't have a lot to lose, boy, decide to choose Stick around, I'll be good to you Yeah, stick around, I'll be good to you Miles On A Car You’ve always been a city boy at heart I’ve always loved the other life lying underneath the stairs I need the space you only find on the back road But you’re the only thing that feels like home Baby it’s just miles on a car Just miles on a car I only need a map of where you are There'll never be a place that is too far I want my legacy to read Oh she did her best to get her lover that was needed The best things in life don't come for free But I'll go the distance if it brings you back to me Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Baby it’s just miles on a car I'm just miles on a car I only need a map of where you are There will never be a place that is too far And nothing ever has to be so hard 'Cause they're just miles on a car They're just miles on the car Just miles on a car Just miles on a car I only need a map of where you are There will never be a place that is too far And nothing ever has to be so hard 'Cause they're just miles on a car They're just miles on a car They're just miles on a car
The Way It Seems To Go My friends become my foes And my foes become my friends I tend to fall in love With the girls my boyfriend ends I don't work 9 to 5 But I'll always work the weekends And each time I'll get the world In my fingers something happens I'm working backwards, forwards And left to right And I'm pretty darn hard headed But I can't make up my mind I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale But only when the sun is shining I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour I'm an expert in the silver lining Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin I'll be there when you need me For all the big things But I'm really pathetic at perfect timing And that's the way it seems to go for me I go to bed at 8 And wake up at 4.30 Most day I drink like a fish And tend to be too flirty I am a perfectionist But only when things get dirty I cannot stand small talk But I'm great at being wordy And I'd rather leave you first But then I'll be begging you to come back And when I get real quiet You know I'm about to attack I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark But only when everyone's celebrating I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart But only to help the heart that's breaking I like to figure things out and make everything right But I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing And that's the way it seems to go for me If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark You will never discover the rest of my heart And I want you to see that there's so much to see Just before I declare you never knew me He's with the small stuff like the world around was over I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together He likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weather I may have left him first But I think he'd been leaving for sometime I feel like begging him to come back But I can't make up my mind I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night But only to make for better dreams I'll back the underdog in any fight But only to fight for something worth keeping I'm in it to win it, most of the time And if it goes down I'll be kicking and screaming And that's the way it seems to go for me (Yeah id does all the time) Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me I Don't Want To Be Your Mother I don't want to be your mother There's two sides to each other You got to meet me halfway Won't you let me be your lover Don't be no lone survivor I'm not going anywhere I'm just trying to tell you how I feel This one-sided love affair How do I get the man in you to see I'm so much more than the mother in me I don't want to be your savior Forgive your bad behavior You got to meet me halfway 'Cause there’s so much to discover Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Don't be no lone survivor I won't leave you in the cold I'll be standing right beside you When you're feeling all alone The only way to set yourself free Is letting go of the savior in me Baby don't you shut me out Baby don't shut down on me I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere I only want to bring you back to me Baby please don't shut me down Time won't bring me back to you I'd be lying to myself, to myself I'd be lying to myself, to myself That's the only thing I cannot do I want to be your sweetheart I want to be your lady Oh I want to get swept away Let me cry for a change Don't need no lone survivor I need someone by my side We don't have to make it perfect Oh but maybe we could try Love me for the woman that I am I will love you for being just a man Love me for the woman that I am And I will love you for being my man Full On Ain't everyone afraid of being figured out They're just a fraud, a blank charade Some bluffing hand has been well played A bleeding mess, a passing fool A lucky dog that’s getting by on nothing Promising or truth you'll forgive me my masquerade I'll never tell a soul you weren't Full on, full on, full on No I'll never tell a soul that you've been faking it for so long And ain't everyone afraid of being figured out There’s all these answers I don't know Why do you think I don't keep you close And who gives you the right to see inside my lovely shelter It’s much safer to forget her if you've never even known her So forgive me my masquerade Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin I'll never tell a soul you weren't Full on, full on, full on No I'll never tell a soul that you've been faking it for so long 'Cause there’s an honesty you'll never get to know So many parts of me I never want to show A little mystery I make up as I go And I know I can be so different than you at least I hope this to be true Oh I will never tell a soul you weren't Full on, full on, full on No I'll never tell a soul that you've been faking it for so long Oh I will never tell a soul you weren't Full on, full on, full on No I'll never tell a soul that you've been faking it for so long There'll be a falling out that I've no wish to see If we don't call each other out Then we will both get off scot free And you can be you and I'll get to stay me Dealbreaker I found that record you'd been looking for, yesterday The one I'd been searching for forever I played that record all night You were right, the last song said it all Even though it skipped a bit, it sounded better. I never, I never, I never knew The only way to listen to a record like that Is to play it through But all of this means nothing Yeah, all of this means nothing All of this means nothing Without you I packed up the car and started to drive Without a plan, with no direction You said it'd be good for me To break out of my daily routine You were always trying to teach some lesson Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin You wanted, you wanted, you wanted me To feel the open road With the wind on my face Well I'm here and I'm finally free But all of this means nothing Yeah, all of this means nothing All of this means nothing Without you You and I were partners in crime Petty thieves in a line up But somehow we wound up here I'm looking at a letter that I wrote to you long ago I wouldn't even know now where to send it It's funny how it all poured out on paper If only I had found a way to tell you If only, if only, if only you Had found a way to love me for who I am The way that I loved you But all of this means nothing Yeah, all of this means nothing And all of this means nothing Without, without, without, without Without you

going back To when you were three You looked at the world So innocently Yes I'm going back The way we all do When life was easier for you I'm going back To afternoon light To long summer days And

She's near copy paste robots kill the internet I'm going back To easier times I'll stay 'til you fall asleep in my arms My hand in your hand And hope in your heart I'd give anything to bring you back To the start I'd give anything to bring you back To the start Rainsong On ne peut pas revenir en arrière Ce n'est pas que je ne veux plus penser à ce que nous avions Ca me manque aussi Mais c'est egoiste de me demander d'etre ton ami Tu te souviens de la façon dont tu es parti Tu te souviens de m'avoir criée dessus lorsqu'il n'y avait plus rien à dire Je ne comprends pas ce que tu attends de moi Notre dynamique était toxique Tu pensais que je te repoussais Et aujourd'hui alors que tu finalises ton nouvel amour$ ... J'espère que tu seras toujours fidèle à ton nouvel amour Ce que tu n'as jamais été avec moi For worse or for better I'd like to see you again Now or never Screaming in my head copy paste robots kill the internet Before it's settled in stone Before I leave you alone See me as you did long ago Take it for shame back to the start Ships have been lost for less than this and broken apart Ice on my wings A fatal disease Let's play with them all One final walk in the park For your infamous heart We can't stay kids forever Who could bare that much pain I've done my time with bad weather You've done the same We can't keep blaming each other Or try to rescue this fight Baby don't try again tonight Take it for shame back to the start Ships have been lost for less than this and broken apart Ice on my wings A fatal disease Let's play with them all One final walk in the park For your infamous heart Your heart, your heart Your heart Sweetheart I miss you Sweetheart I miss you Black sheep Don't take it personally You've done nothing wrong You're right where you should be We're all going home Black sheep will rise up Just before the dawn You're the only one Who can break them down copy paste robots kill the internet And I know the road has been long They're on their own road too You try so hard to be strong Everyone watching you Black sheep will rise up Just before the dawn You're the only one Who can break them down I'll always stay by your side Forever holding your hand Your time is coming to shine Soon they'll all understand Black sheep will rise up Just before the dawn You're the only one Who can break them down You're the only one Who can break them down Money fame thunder Babe I know you're weary Running out of time We don't know what we're missing Til it's on the headlines Babe I know you're working To figure this all out Sometimes you think you're going crazy Staring at missing pages copy paste robots kill the internet It ain't the money or the fame or the thunder It ain't the memory of where you thought you'd be It's just that you feel like a tightrope walker You've gone too high to ever land back on your feet Babe I know you're waiting For something big to start Seems like endless complications Weighing down your heart It ain't the routines or the phone rings or the players You keep on moving towards where you need to be It's just sometimes there's no words to make it better And you want someone else to feel what you need Some people want you to fall You're gonna hold yourself steady Keep yourself loose and in balance Though you don't think you are ready It's just one foot in front of the other now It ain't the money or the fame or the thunder It ain't the memory of where you thought you'd be If you're gonna feel like a tightrope walker Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet Start looking up and don't you look down at your feet

Both Sides Now ( Joni Mitchell Cover / A Celebration of the Music of Greenwich Village LP) Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air Feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I don't know life at all
Cold roses ( With Ryan Adams ) The mirrors in the room go black and blue On a sunday morning in her saturday shoes We don't choose who we love We don't choose The lights over the midway melt on the street In a sunday shoes, with her saturday feet She don't love who he choose She don't need what she use Daylight comes and exposes Saturday's bruises and cold roses Cold roses Nothing but the sunlight will help you grow From underneath your bed you can't see the window We don't choose what we see We don't choose Fortunate and angry just like a child All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time We don't choose what we love And she don't need what she got Daylight comes and exposes Saturday's bruises and cold roses Cold roses Cold roses Cold roses Cold roses
Collide
( Rachael Yamagata EP ) I'll fascinate you for awhile My hands can wave to please So well When I wake to realize all I've done I'll be breaking strings And all you're gonna feel is untied I will not stay if you ask me to stay Do not ask me to stay, because I will not stay Why do we always collide Stuck on two different sides Your resignation Dont simplify It's not always good about your life When I wake up to find All I've been is unkind All you're gonna feel is untied Untied Why do we always collide Stuck on two different sides Why do we always collide Stuck on two different sides Why do we always collide Stuck on two different sides Why do we all... Why do we all...

Has It Happened Yet
( Heavyweight EP ) Has anybody shared our bed yet Was it heavy, was it hard Checked the time on the clock I used to sit On the jacket that I bought Just for you when I was on the road To remind you that I didn't forget All the things that I shared with you Has anybody done that yet Has anybody found the red shoes Have they found my cigarettes Have you gone back to the restaurant That we'd go when we first met And are you starting to make promises Have you started taking bets That it's better on the next round Has anybody done that yet Has it happened yet I am readying myself for a change Has it happened yet I am trying to start again Has it happened yet Is she living with all was mine If it hasn't happened yet It will in time I've got bad news for my heart When two lives are torn apart There is nothing you can claim And no matter how you wish it Nothing will ever be the same Has anybody found the way to you Does anyone know what you need Does anyone remind you The way we used to be And are you starting to make promises That you made to me Has anybody found the secret Has anybody done that yet Has it happened yet I am readying myself for a change Has it happened yet I am trying to start again Has it happened yet Is she living with all was mine If it hasn't happened yet It will in time It will in time Has it happened yet...

I'm Going To Go Back There Someday
( The Muppets Cover / The Green Album Compilation - 2011 ) This looks familiar, vaguely familiar Almost unreal, yet it's too soon to feel yet Close to my soul, yet so far away I'm going to go back there someday Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls Is that a song there, and do I belong there? I've never been there, but I know the way I'm going to go back there someday Come and go with me, it's more fun to share We'll both be completely at home in midair We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings We can hold onto love like invisible strings There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place? You can just visit, but I plan to stay I'm going to go back there someday I'm going to go back there someday
I Wish You Love Goodbye, no use leading with our chins This is where our story ends Never lovers, ever friends Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day But before you walk away I sincerely want to say I wish you bluebirds in the spring to give your heart a song to sing And then a kiss but more than this I wish you love And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade I wish you health and more than wealth I wish you love My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be So with my best, my very best, I set you free I wish you shelter from the storm A cozy fire to keep you warm But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be So with my best, my very best, I set you free I wish you shelter from the storm A cozy fire to keep you warm But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love
Jesus Was a Crossmaker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me One time I trusted a stranger 'Cause I heard his sweet song And it was gently enticing me Though there was something wrong When I turned he was gone Blinding me his song remains reminding me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me He wages war with the devil A pistol by his side And though he chases them out my window and Won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him He lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me I hear the thunder come rumbling The light never looked so dim I see the junction get nearer And danger's in the wind And either road's looking grim Hiding me I flee desires dividing me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
Keep Going
( Heavyweight EP ) Carry me for a while It's your turn to learn the (?) Carry you for a while When you lead (?) me I'll be there And the walls that keep us in the world Will come down Follow me It's your turn For this world has got to learn That the only way to change your history Is for me to follow you sometimes And for you to follow me And the doors we never made it through Start opening Oh, I need you And you need me Trust in me I'll be true You can trust me and I'll trust you If I falter you'll forgive me I'll forgive you What I don't have you will bring And I'll be there for anything And we all will find a way to keep going Yes we all will find a way to keep going
Jungman's Theme (Paris)
(Porch Songs EP) How's the light Don't make a sound You're across the world But I feel you now How's the moon Is she sad again Like you in June Oh I'll meet you in Paris I've met you there before I'll meet you in Paris We'll dance across the floor I'll meet you in Paris Just know I'm on my way I'll meet you in Paris someday There's no time No work to do You're alone again I can see you How's the breeze Is she soft and sweet The way I'd be Oh I'll meet you in Paris I've met you there before Hold my hand as we're walking Guide me to your door I'll meet you in Paris The whisperings will start Too less in this lifetime Trying to fill their hearts We'll come back together You'll know me from your past I'll meet you in Paris at last I'll meet you in Paris at last
Known for Years
( Rachael Yamagata EP ) I'm so good runnin' away You'd think I'd grown up that way And you're so good at leading them on Who am I to bring you down I wonder why I'm still hangin' around Was it the song 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing And I've known for years that we'd get here And it'd be a shame to make believe It's better to leave And it's cruel the way I recall A readiness to take it all And I question still whether I am just a friend And you don't need to stand in my way I wonder if I just sold you the crown Was it that sound 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here And it'd be a shame to make believe It's better to leave It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave Yeah, It'd be a shame to make believe Better, better, better, better to leave 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here And I can't make believe that we're seeing the same thing 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here And it'd be a shame, it'd be a shame, shame Oh no, it'd be a shame to make believe It'd be a shame to make believe Oh, it's better to leave
La La La (Something In The Rain OST Part 2) When the night falls And the rest of the world quiets down I come running to you There you sing me a song La la la la la la la The little sweet melody La la la How I wish it would never end Turn off the light, dear Let me sink beneath the waves of your heart And then comes the light in darkness Glowing through the night Has the rain stopped Is the daybreak yet to come But why should I be worried When I am here with you now La la la la la la la The little sweet melody La la la la la la How I wish it would never end La la la la la la la I love your sweet melody La la la How I wish it would never end It seems so unreal But it's not untrue Come away with me Leave it all behind

Pale
( With Bill Deasy ) I have called you here To discuss the present situation Never mind the tears, love, I see them for the utter fabrication That they are I didn't mean to pry I found the key behind the bedroom table Save your alibi, love, The sigts I saw effectively disabled That device, and oh you look so... Pale Pale and peaked Like an 18th century epidemic victim Pale, like you've just seen the living Ghost of your lost innocence I taste it on your skin I feel it in this stagnant air between us Hear them on the wind, love, Tolling bells announcing the defeat of our New Life, and oh you look so... Pale Pale and peaked Like an 18th century epidemic victim Pale, like you've just seen the living Ghost of your lost innocence It didn't take long To see your colors The color of gone is, Pale, your story's flimsy Like a cardboard box on a rainy sidewalk Pale, you're looking guilty And your face is all the evidence I need
River ( Joni Mitchell Cover ) It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money And i'm gonna quit this crazy scene Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I wish i had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry... You tried hard to help me Always put me at ease You loved me so naughty, baby Made me weak in the knees Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on And i'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and i'm sad And i've gone and lost the best baby That i have ever had Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I wish i had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on
Sao paulo rain ( Tom McRae Cover ) There's always a party on funeral row Where the cross flashes red to the street And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans He's grazing the surface of sleep The vultures on main street are eyeing you up Calculating the wait of your bones And midnight graffiti appears on your door So we all can sleep safe in our homes And the storms in the distance hold no rain And i feel my resistance giving way Shelter me from this sky Dance wiht me one last time Sao paulo rain Sao paulo rain Do not disturb this blood red earth There's giants sleeping beneath And carnival queens on their deathbed scenes All go through the motions of grief Take another hit Let the bottle slip through your fingers and Break like a promise made The day i remember My heart i will keep My voice i surrender And i will not speak to lie We were so alive We were so alive Shelter me from this sky Dance with me one last time Sao paulo rain Sao paulo rain
Some Kind Of Window (Porch Songs EP) I don't know where my resolution's gone Blind without a voice to follow And I don't mean to make you feel so strung along Waiting on some kind of window Don't recognize what overrules my heart Wrecked and lost in limbo And I apologize, it's tearing you apart Who am I Turning into Turning into If I can't wish you well, there will be no moving on This I tell myself as I keep trying But if I say these words too soon, they'll turn out wrong The whole world will know that I'm lying I don't write and I don't call, yeah everything is different But you reach out to laugh it off, we all need forgiveness You've become a better man, you want me now to understand You've become a stranger too, exactly as I am Turning into Turning into If I can't wish you well, there will be no moving on This I tell myself as I keep trying But if I say these words too soon, they'll turn out wrong The whole world will know that I'm lying The whole world will know that I'm lying But I don't know where my will has gone I've never felt so shut down before You asked for everything and now pressure's on I don't know if I can give you more But if I can't wish you well, there will be no moving on This I tell myself as I keep trying But if I say these words too soon, they'll turn out wrong The whole world will know that I'm lying The whole world will know that I'm lying The whole world will know that I'm lying
Something In The Rain (Something In The Rain OST Part 1) I feel you now from here Our time is not done yet You've given me my fullest heart We'll never be apart I'm breathing through you now The love we have so true I never thought that I could need someone The way I do And we're meant to be This is one thing I know I feel everything I've never been so exposed Are there pieces still yet To be discovered with your love I can see anything Through wherever you are I can feel you And we're meant to be This is one thing I know I feel everything never been so exposed Are there pieces still yet To be discovered with your love I can see anything Through wherever you are I can feel you Your smile, your touch, your voice Each detail in your face I could study everything About you forever more The way you look at me Connecting with you now You give me a strength I've never known You've reached into my soul
Sweet Forgiveness
( With Bill Deasy ) I know the sky had grown dark And you had to go chasing down a spark Hey you, now that it's done The love we had will still shine on Like the headlights on a train I won't see coming Like the sunrise on the building we lived Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Every time I look in your eyes Heartbreak can stand beside love With a little help from up above Walk on... I will stay here And try to wish you joy beyond my tears Like the tree that sheds it's yellow leaves in autumn Like the stone that waits for water to come clean Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Every time I look in your eyes You broke me open yeah you broke me down Left me stranded in some stranger's town But I was hoping you might turn around And see this Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Sweet forgiveness rain down on me Every time I look in your eyes

These Girls ( Rachael Yamagata EP - Bonus Track )
I am tired Of crying in bathrooms And lighting drags When I don't even smoke Writing to no one Sleeping with the hours And sighing for a thousand things So tired, ignoring your words About a new girl Watching flirtations Whispered conversations These Girls, they don't know How they kill me down Whenever they hold his hand And these girls I'm getting old, just by Being 'round them They're breaking the future I'll never hold again So blue, I'm scratching at nothing The tighter you hold him, the stronger he gets Inside I'm spinning, my lesson Lipstick & perfume, and fanciful speech My suitcase is packed by the door In case he comes crawling, like he did before Baby come get me, don't you look over there And these girls, they don't know How they kill me down Whenever they hold his hand And these girls I'm getting old, just by Being 'round them They're breaking the future I'll never hold again And these girls, if I had my chance Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night And these girls, it's dangerous It's not their fault But I'm so tired of being nice Anywhere that I go, they appear before me And everybody knows I'm addicted To the object of their eyes And these girls, they don't know How they kill me down Whenever they hold his hand And these girls I'm getting old, just by Being 'round them They're breaking the future I'll never hold again And these girls, if I had my chance Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night And these girls, it's dangerous It's not their fault But I'm so tired of being nice So tired of being nice So tired, so tired of being alone...
Until I heard All my life Nothing seems to last Its just some name i'll soon forget And in the past I never take the chance To lead with my heart, and not my head All my life i've heard them, But to hear those words from you Just knocks me down And i'm spinning Since i heard the words from you And til this time I never seemed to mind Not having heartache to regret But now i found All my clouds are silver lined And it's all a part of the words you said All my life i've heard them, But to hear the words from you Just knocks me down And i'm spinning Since i heard the words from you And i feel the way i do Since i heard the words from you All my life i've heard them, But to hear the words from you Just knocks me down And i'm spinning Since i heard the words from you And i feel the way i do Since i heard the words from you I do
Woman Is there a woman out there who'll take me 'Cause i've been far too hurt by this man Apparently i don't give him leeway Apparently, i don't understand There's the last word we were meant to have With the crossing light turned white too fast There's the last kiss we were meant to share There's a new girl now So he shouldn't dare Is there a woman out there who'll take me 'Cause i need sleep with somebody soft I take a drink, a toast to his fortune I'm not ready yet For coffee or talk 'Cause there are pictures i've yet to take down And he's still watching over my cat At a hotel, just down the street 'Cause the new girl Prefers it like that Is there a woman out there who'll take me Safe from the one who's lovin' him tonight She's even got a beautiful name Now rachael and james just doesn't seem right Well, that's the way it goes That's the way it goes Is there a woman out there who'll take me 'Cause i am drifting far off to sea With a couple of ticket stubs to float on And the backlight of each memory Is there a woman out there who'll take me away 'Cause i may never fall in love with a man He was my best friend, my everything He can't save me Nobody can That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes
Worthless (Tightrope Walker Korea Edition LP) You don't see what I see It's clear to me now Catching my breath from what you just said Held deep inside It isn't worthless No waste of time You may feel helpless, I'll make my mistakes But whether they're right The choice is still mine I'll try to be gentle Don't you know it's breaking my heart But time moves too fast If we hold ourselves hostage Reliving our past will break us apart It's gonna be hard It's gonna be hard this time You're stepping back and I'm stepping out I know there's hardship that I'll never know about But I, I'm finding my way and I still need you around I hear what you say though I'm standing my ground It isn't worthless No waste of time You may feel helpless, I'll make my mistakes But whether theyrre right, the choice is still mine And if I've been changing Don't you know, too much for you Then let me be fallen oh let me be lost But let me free if we can't break through It's gonna be hard It's gonna be hard this time It's gonna be hard this time It's gonna be hard this time It isn't worthless No waste of time You may feel helpless, I'll make my mistakes But whether they're right, the choice is still mine And if I've been changing Don't you know it's breaking my heart But time moves too fast if we hold ourselves hostage Reliving our past will break us apart And if this is over Don’t you know and nothing's the same I'll always remember you meant it with love But some love is fire and it's too hard to take
Would You Please
( Rachael Yamagata EP ) Would you please Let me slide a few words Under your door And would you please Let me slide a few words under your door The first 3 say "I Love You" The last 5 "But I can't no more" I don't believe in miracles (no no) Not like I did before And would you please Let me slide a few words Under your door And would you please (yeah) Try to understand There's a paragraph or two Devoted to the memories that we shared In the dramatized songs about how there'll be no more memories No more memories And if you'll notice in the corner There's a tiny little heart I've enclosed Like a little surprise (oh yes i did) And if you'll please ignore the smeared smudged writing It came from the tears in my eyes You're probably gonna get it After a long day You may not even believe it's true I know you know, you know, you know my crazy ways Yeah, but sleeping beauty is going to bed She put a little tiny hole in her own head Gotta find her own way home Before she's dead Yeah, but Sleeping Beauty is going to bed She put a little tiny hole in her own head Gotta find her own way home Before she's dead Woo Sleeping Beauty is going to bed She put a little tiny hole in her own head Gotta find her own way home Before she's dead Woo Sleeping Beauty is going to bed She put a little tiny hole in her own head Gotta find her own way home Before she's dead
