B i o g r a p h y She'd surf everyday if she could, but with music taking up most of her time, that’s impossible. "I used to compete in high school but not anymore, surfing is my first love, I still try to get in the water at least once or twice a week" says the San Diego singer-songwriter. Having only been playing live for a little less than 2 years now, Tristan Prettyman has already turned down a major record label deal, been on a national concert tour with Jason Mraz & G. Love and Special Sauce, and was recently noted as one of San Diego Magazines '50 people to watch in 2004" "I didn’t even think about playing music as a living, but one of my songs was used in a surfing documentary…and the response was totally unexpected! People started calling, asking where they could buy CD's and where I was playing. At that time I didn’t even have a CD, I had never even played a show!" A couple years later, Tristan is finally growing into her sound, building quite a nice following Nationally and winning people over one at a time, "every CD order I send out, I try to write a little note to say thank you, if it wasn't for all the support across the world, I wouldn’t be doing any of this". With a voice as smooth as the sea at sunset, and music made simple...Tristan is definitely gonna have some eyes keeping a close watch on her...both in and out of the water! |
I am a void
Lets see you try and fill me
And mostly i'm just annoyed
With the situation that never fails to find me
Well i shoulda known better and i did
I should have listened but ohh well
And now the memories are but the lines on my palms of my hands
Can you tell me this much? Oh do tell...
Tell me was she better?
Was she everything and more?
Cause i'm still leaning out the window on the 14th story floor
Begging for more...always more...
I remember the conversations
Pressed up against that canadian night sky
Like l could lean out my window
And recall what it feels like to be that high
Tell me me was she better?
Was she everything and more?
God i hope she pleased you
Was she everything you hoped for?
Tell me was it all there, all this time
Did it pick up, did it pick up, did it pick up...
And take flight?
Evaporated
Ohh baby, baby, i'm craving your kiss on my neck
Ohh your breath, deep in my ear, all up in my ear
So your all the i can hear...
Well you said if it would be with anybody it would be with you
And now your making me promises that i can't hold you 2
Because one kiss, wasn't enough
To keep me here and patiently waiting
For you to decide who you want and when you want them|
While you leave me in the sun evaporating...
And now your stressing me out, ohh your stressing me out
Because i, i spent so much time trying to figure out what your all about
But it's all been said and it'sall done now
I'll find away to get you, i'll get to you somehow
Ohh because...
One kiss wasn't enough, to keep me here and patiently waiting for
You to decide that i'm the one you wanted
Well you left me for too long outside
And i'm evaporated...
So baby, baby i'm craving your kiss on my lips
You know i, i can't resist it when you put your hands on my hips
He says i want a girl to sweep me off my feet
Well i guess, all this time, my voice was just a little too weak....
Because...
One kiss wasn't enough to keep me here and patiently waiting for
You to decide that i'm the one you needed
Well you waited to long
I'm evaporated....
So tell me that one kiss wasn't enough...
'Cause by now, by now i'm givin' up...
Ohh so you can't tell me come on..
Tell me that one kiss wasn't enough...
You're givin' in, you're givin' in, cause you're givin' up...
When it rains
Maybe i'm changing
Maybe i'm so impatient
Maybe i just don't care, about what you think
Cause i can never please her
No matter how hard i try
You know sometimes i just wanna throw up my hands and say "ok fine"!
But life's to short she said
If it works then it works, let it go
And i'm sorry i ever got you started
When it rains, it pours and it shows
I was blessed with a birth and a death
And a gift or a curse somewhere in between
Cause your only as loud as the noises you make
And as big as the things that you dream
Still i can never please him
No matter how hard i try
And maybe you should have made up your mind
Before i changed mine
But life's to short she said,
If it works then it works, let it go
And i'm sorry i ever got you started
When it rains it pours and it shows
Still life's to short she said
If it works, then it works, just let it go, let it go
Well i'm sorry i ever got you started
When it rains it pours and it shows
The kiss
Well i can
See you on the horizon like a
Storm that’s soon to be and is it
So bad to be in love with a memory
Of you, smiling back at me
And it was subtle but it was, yeah it was subtle
But it was sexy
And i suppose i could tell you how i feel
But even i can't tell if it'sreally real
And one day i will tell you what's on my mind
But for now i just leave it as mystery
Soon 2 unwind, and in time, it'slike this…
I kinda just want that kiss
Just for the thrill or just maybe to miss
You when you go, just so i know
That it can and it does get better than this,
And really love is just a hit and miss
You walk and you jump and you sink
It happens more than you’d think…
And i suppose i could tell you how i feel
But i’d rather play it cool and keep it real
And maybe i could show you just so you could see …
The secret behind the mystery…
And it'sanother one of those days
When you’d wish it rain already
And the sky’s no ordinary shade of gray
But you make it ok...
Ohh yes, yes i do have a crush on you
Cuz see your trap you know i fell right through
With me it'salways something new
To see..
I should probably tell you how i feel
But the moment was magic, it was so surreal
And i swear one day i will let you know
But for now, I'm gonna let you go...
Guest check
Well he thinks that he's got me
He thinks that i'm giving in
But i know all the lies and the alibis and the hypnotizing
Where do i begin?
He's says that girls lie
But i got news for him, cause boys lie too
And i'm through with all your games
And all your excuses, down to everything you say and do
Cause i've seen things from a different view
And i realize all the things i already knew
Your not for me
You know i don't think that you've ever been good for me
Ya know, there's got to be someone out there who's real
There's got be someone who can honestly say they feel
This music underneath my fingertips
She says, "get a grip girl, cause guys like that don't exist"
Well i just wanna laugh my way through life
And no worry about whether they think what i'm doing is wrong or right
Cause i've got so much to learn
And you know this fires just dying to burn...
I think it'stime to leave....
Can i have the guest check please?
I'm saying good-bye, to all the comfortable things
I'm going out living my life, gonna see what a little livin' will bring
Cause i've seen things from a different view
And i realize all the things i already knew
'Cause your not for me
And no i don't think that you'll ever be good for me
Anything at all
( Featuring Shaun Ransom on piano )
I can tell by the tone of your voice,
That this isn't working out
I can tell by the look in your eyes,
You've made up your mind you haven't got a doubt
I remember when i first saw you,
Remember the way i felt
And now your breaking me to pieces,
I don't know how i'll deal with this
But if i...
Learned anything at all
It was to always be true to yourself and
I know that this isn't the end of it all
And i will fall...
Have you ever watched the shadows,
Fly across the midnight sky
You know i used to watch the sunset,
But it seems that i haven't got the time anymore
But if i....
Learned anything at all it was too
Always be true to yourself and i
Know that this is what i can do and
I'm gonna' try...
Been thinking for days,
Been sleepless for nights
But it all came to me,
Driving home crying my eyes out
And if i...
Learned anything at all it was too
Never give up
Cause i see all my dreams laid out in front of me
And for once it doesn't seem so tough
No, it doesn't seem so tough....
My
love
My breath for you will always be
Soft, sweet and shallow
This body you can always use
As your pillow
To rest your tired head
Those days that seem to never end
But my love is all you need
So don't look back again...
When you go...away
You know, your already so far away
But i want you to know
My love it here to stay
So don't let me get in your way
No not today...
I can hear the rain in the wind
It hits me like you hit me within
And words are not needed now
Cause you know me so well
And that's how i can tell
I can tell
I can tell
I can tell
So go go go go
Ohh run away
And just know my love is here today...always
Don't let me get in your way

It’s 4 am
The paperboy’s at it again
But i can’t get no sleep
I mean what’s the point?
If i can’t even dream up a dream
That’s worth the keep
And so there’s no need in even going
Cause i’m better off never knowing
You know the media’s getting
Really good at lying
And this time around
I’m not buying
Cause this life is a beautiful one
And though i seen it comin undone
I know most definitely
That it’s gonna be you
It’s gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
Cause you got all my…
Love love love
Cause we’re all just lovers and takers
Breaking hearts to make the papers
She wants love i told her to stop trying
Cause the reasons for her tears
Aren’t worth crying
And this life is a beautiful one
And though i seen it comin undone
Well i know most definitely
That it’s gonna be you
It’s gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
Cause you got all my
Love love love
Loving all around me
I think that love has found me
Loving all the time
And when the summer’s here
The waves are crashing
No time for thinking
Don’t even ask me
I’m gonna let it all roll right past me
Cause when i’m here
I’m always happy
And this life is a beautiful one
And though i seen it comin undone
Well i know most definitely
It always works out the way it’s meant to be
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
And know that you got all my
Love love love
Always feel this way
Ohh no don’t you come at me
With that look you got so down
You got me floating like a bubble
Ever since you came around
And even strangers seem to notice
And all my friends can tell
To keep you comin i just keep on running
But your lovin tripped me and i fell
I hope i always
Always feel this way
Always feel this way
Pushin my buttons like we’re on the elevator
Keep your eyes on this, but savin it for later
Cause we never rushed, and we always took our time
Make sure to make me yours, i’ll make sure to make you mine
And then we’ll always, always
Feel this way
Always feel this way
Cause you got what i want
You got what i need
Baby i don’t wanna settle for no other
Can’t you see
All you need is me
To always feel this way….
So if you’re wishin on stars
You better go out and get it
Cause you if you want it bad enough
You won’t stop until you have it
Don’t let them tell you
What you can and cannot do
You’ve got to see it through
Like you always knew
It’d feel this way…
Always feel this way
Never gonna change
And always feel this way…
The story
I’m the icing on the cake
I’m the secret ingredient you’re missing
I’m the sidewalk but i’m not complete
And i’m the reason that baby, you’re trippin
Ohh decisions you didn’t make
I’m the chance you chose, not to take
And i’m the one you wish you were kissing
Pray for clear skies tonight
You better start wishin
So you write the title
And i’ll write the chapters
We can read a story
Of a love gone disaster
You write the moral
And i’ll write the lesson
And we can read of love
That kept us, guessing
Cause i am in question
You are in reason
Soon this will change
Just like the seasons
My leaves will fall
While you’ll turn to cold
And the colors on the ground
Are so bright and so bold
And i’ll make no motion
You’ll hold me tightly
I’ll look at you
As you let me down lightly
The story always ends up like this
Another opportunity
That you’re going to miss
So you write the title
And i’ll write the chapters
We can read a story of a love gone disaster
You write the moral
And i’ll write the lesson
And we can read a love that kept us guessing
But i know you so well
Ohh when are you gonna come around
Ohh but i know you soo well
When are you gonna come around
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
You want it to be like this
Ohh ohh ohh
I see how it is
Another opportunity that you’re
Gonna miss
Electric
These tears stain the wood
Like cups and condensation
I am bound to you
I cannot break the situation
He’s every subject
Of every song
Like the wind carries
He moves me along
And the shadows i can’t run from
They won’t let me go
He’s the ending of a story
That i’ll never know
He’s electric
Can’t forget it
Yeah he’s electric
Don’t forget it
Sometimes he fills me up
Sometimes it’s such a shock
This is more than i bargained for
More than i would have bought
You still look at me
With well acquainted eyes
As the memories come flooding back
In a field of butterflies
It’s electric
Don’t forget
Yeah it’s electric
I can’t forget it
I know there’s hope in there
But i wanna walk away
He’s says it’s bright in there
Even in lighter shades of grey
And though it looks like rain
I’m not gonna cry
As the seasons are changing
In your heart
So will i
I will fly
Electric
Oh yes the seasons are changing
Ohh yes the seasons are changing
I’m burning up
I’m burning up
I’m electric
Shy that way
You know you’re stunning
You’re absolutely stunning
And i’m running always running
And now i’m crying
It’s only cause i’m caring
And if you were more daring
Maybe you’d stop staring
And come over and talk to me
Tell me bout how you’ve been waiting so patiently
And how you tried but i just turned away
And i’ll say yeah well you know,
I’m shy that way
Shy that way
Maybe i’m shy that way
Ohh you know you’re stunning
You’re absolutely stunning
But you’re always runnin
But i’ll catch up to you
The way you keep your distance is
Keeping my interest
So i’ll keep it persistent
Ohh maybe someday
Someway, somehow in some town
We’ll get together and
We’ll break it down
And i’ll ask why you’ve been
So shy, gotta be that way
Maybe baby, oh love, i like it that way
Shy that way
You know i love you so shy,
Shy that way
So keep it comin comin comin comin
Shy that way
There’s always too much talking
And i wanna just keep walking
But i keep staring baby
Keep staring
Though i may not know the right things to say
I’ll get it out to you one day
I’m shy that way
You’re shy that way
Do you like it
Do you like it?
When i’m shy this way?
Yes i like it
Yes i like it
When you’re shy
Shy that way
I like it
I like it shy
You know it’s alright, it’s ok
Cause we’re
Shy that way…
Please
Such a crime
I don’t remember being taken
This love was meant for
Wandering eyes and fakin’
So hot the way you looking
And when he’s on it, man he’s running and he’s booking
Didn’t know what to think in the beginning
But you got me so wet
And then you left me swimming
Keep it coming with the love i can’t resist
I’m so tired but don’t you dare quit
Cause it’s a lie, it’s a crime and it’s just something
That i can’t deny but
You know it looks so good from the outside
It’s a mistake that i’m willing to make
And a promise that i just might break but
Gotta find out how much my heart can take
From the moment i met you
I knew this love was bound to get you
Well i know i know i know you’re weak that way
Looking out the window and it’s only the beginning
People are talking
And my ears start ringing
But i don’t care what they say
Cause they’ll never know me anyway
Cause it’s a lie, it’s a crime and it’s just something
That i can’t deny but
You know it looks so good from the outside
It’s a mistake that i’m willing to make
And a promise that i just might break
Gotta find out how much my heart can take
And i know what he wants
And i know what he needs
I got the type of love
That’s gonna bring you right down to your knees
Bring you right down to your knees
I’m begging you oh please
I want to be the lover
For your cover
How could you deny
This love so great
Love so grand
If you don’t understand
That this love will take you make you
It’ll mess you maybe break you
But it’ll leave you stronger in the end
And i guess it all depends
Cause it’s a lie, it’s a crime, and it’s just something that i can’t
deny
You know it looks so good from the outside
It’s a mistake that i’m willing to make
And a promise that i just might break but
Gotta find out how much my heart can take
Now i’m beggin ya please…
Breathe
It’s all confirmation
For your imagination
This type of situation
Goes on and on
What to do
How to say
When every little thing
Seems to get in my way
I can’t breathe
And i wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Softly before i scream
Breathe breathe breathe
You say you adore me
What good could you be for me
And after i’m gone
Wondering where you went wrong
Cause you’re only takin inches
When i’m giving you miles
Did you figure that maybe i wasn’t worth your while?
Well i can’t breathe
And i wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Before i
Scream…before i
Scream…breathe breathe breathe
Cause where you got me
Is where you want me
When you had me
But you left me
And i let this go on
For so long
Got me
Where you want me
Well you had me
But you left me
And i let this go on
For so long
And i can’t breathe
And i wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Oh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please…softly before i scream
Breathe breathe breathe
Song for the rich
Get off work about 4 o'clock
And i’m late again
Cause you'll be here by 6:30
We'll go looking for a close parking spot again
Sitting in a room full of believers
Now you tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
Cause i look over at you baby
And you got your good intentions focused so tight
And now it hurts me so
To have to see you go
To watch these drugs break you down
When there's nothing you can do and no one to get through
Remember all the things you tried to forget
What's wrong with a little bit of experimentation
To open the eyes of the new generation
Well build your world on an empty foundation
And watch it all blow away
Now it hurts me so
To have to see you go
To watch these drugs pull you down
When there's nothing we can do and no one can get through
Remember all the things you tried to forget
Well i haven't seen you in a while
You know i miss our talks i miss your smile
Cause the look of innocence is priceless
And baby right now you look so lifeless
And now it hurts me so to have to see you go
To watch this song break you down
When there's nothing we can do
And no one to get through
Remember all the things you tried to forget
And now it hurts me so
To have to see you go
Watch this song break you down
Smoke
If i could i would be smoke
And i’d float myself out of here
And i’d go wherever you are
And i’d never have to be too far from here
And i’d linger in your fingers
A transparent shade of gray
And watch as you watch me
Slowly fade away
Into the night
Where are you when i need you by my side
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Get lost in a moment
Wasting time trading smiles
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Come on won’t you waste my time
Baby waste my time
Won’t you waste all my time
Things are never what they seem
Lately you’re all i dream
Well i’m running but i’m not getting anywhere and
Do you even care?
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Get lost in a moment
Wasting time trading smiles
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Come on won’t you waste my time
Baby waste my time
Won’t you waste all my time
C’mon and waste all my time
I’m just trying to find my way
Between the glitter and the gray
Baby i just want some time with you
And ohh i swear this time i’ll make it through well well
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Get lost in a moment
Wasting time trading smiles
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Come on won’t you waste my time
Baby waste my time
Won’t you waste all my time
C’mon and waste all my time
Melting
I will sing you a song
I will save you a dance
If you just give me a chance
A little piece of your mind
Little bit of your time
To let it unwind see
What is it i don’t get
Something i never forget
Something good that hasn’t even even started yet
Well it’s so good that it’s bad
And it might be the best damn thing that i ever had
Happen to me
Well you see
I’m still melting
Over you ohh well
I’m still holding on
Baby well well
I’m still melting
Cause i fell hard but not hard enough
You didn’t even notice
I took that risk and i jumped ship
And now i’m waving my arms
Drowning in your ocean
And you go on saying everything i’ve been trying to say
And now i’d be foolish to let you get away
So stay with me awhile,
Cause i’m still melting
Over you ohh well i’m
Still holding on
And baby well i’m still dreaming so don’t wake me yet
Cause i don’t want to forget
How you picked me back up
And you lay my head down
And now i feel you heavy over me
And now i’m in too deep now
Well i’m still melting
Over you ohh well
I’m holding on
And i’m still dreaming so don’t wake me yet cause i
I don’t want to forget
Simple as it should be
Put your hands to my hands
Put your knees to my knees
Put your eyes to my eyes
Come on baby compliment me
Cause i don’t think that we
Should ever feel the need to worry
Ever get ourselves in a hurry
You know i love you
I know you love me
So time will go
And we may be
Far apart i know
But as far as i can see
This is so good
There’s no need for change
It’s alright with me
It’s as simple as it should be
Simple as it should be
And this love will build
Through flights and streets
In the end i predict
You’ll get the very best of me
So put your lips to my lips
Why not go on and take all of it
And just run as fast as you can
Just cause you can
Cause time will go
And we may be
Far apart i know
But as far as i can see
This is so good
There’s no need for change
It’s alright with me
It’s as simple as it should be
Simple as it should be
I am almost 23
Confused with all the lines in between
They are dying to be read
Softly spoken simply said
Tell me do you believe
In the girl that is me
With her feet to your feet
Well that’s all that i need
Cause time will go
And we may be
Far apart i know
But as far as i can see
This is so good
There’s no need for change
It’s alright with me
It’s as simple as it should be
Simple as it should be

Hello

For hours there’s no doubt

Stand tall walking proud, now you're breaking the rules
Tell me honey, are you feeling just a little displaced
Let down and alone now, what a bad bad taste
'Cause when I hear you say my name
Well I don't feel the same
Start to feel like I might break
And it's more than I can take
No use in trying to make me stay
When I'm already on my way
Cause when I go you're gonna hear it echo
When I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo
Now things just ain't what they used to be
Two years gone by and now it's just a memory
Well I tried to explain the reasons why
Step up or step down, come on baby pick a side
'Cause when I hear you say my name
Well I don't feel the same
Start to feel like I might break
And it's more than I can take
No use in trying to make me stay

When I go you're gonna hear it echo
When I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo
Oh start your running, no no no
Start your running, no no no

Oh start your running, no no no
Start your running, no no no

Start to feel like I might break
And it's more than I can take
No use in trying to make me stay
When I'm already on my way
When I go you're gonna hear it echo
When I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo
Echo, 'cause baby
Lately it’s gotten too much to take
And baby I, I don't know if I can let it go
'Cause baby now
Some point I know I will break
And when I do, when I do you're gonna hear it echo
When I do, when I do you're gonna hear it echo
Echo, baby now
When I do, you're gonna hear it echo
Echo, baby now
When I do, you're gonna hear it echo
Echo, baby now
When I do, you're gonna hear it echo, echo, echo
California Girl
I'll let you fall in love with me
Show you how easy it can be
California girl of your dreams
Sitting by the sea shore
Soaking up the summer breeze
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
I can't believe I even came
Don't even know your name
Boy you know that ain't my scene
But you gotta play by the rules
If you ever gonna win the game
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Oh yes my words were true
True to the moment and true to you
But fear will help you make your move
Sweet kisses in the summer taste soft like honeydew
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
For that old trick again
Madly
I’m not surprised that you still call
I’m not surprised
I’m more surprised that I don’t answer
Pick up the phone to call you back
Pick up the phone to call you back
Ain’t it funny how things work out like that
'Cause the time that it takes
To open my eyes
Is the time that it took me
To realize
Madly madly madly
Tell me that you need me
Show me I’m the only
That’s all I need to know
Madly madly madly
Well if you really love me
When you see me leaving baby
Just let me go
Well I’ve been good, no I been great
You say you’re in a better place
Honestly I’m happy for you
But there’s a tone in my voice
It gives away my selfish choice
Could my heart beat any faster
'Cause the time that it takes
To pass me by
Is the time that it took me
To realize
Madly madly madly
Tell me that you need me
Show me I’m the only
That’s all I need to know
Madly madly madly
Well if you really love me
When you see me leaving baby
Just let me go
We give it up
Try to find
What was with us all the time
Got to lose some things
If you ever gonna get ‘em back
Who was wrong, who was right
Always end up in a fight
I thought I won, but now I find
Madly madly madly
If you really love me
When you see me leaving
Just let me go
Madly madly madly
Tell me that you need me
Show me I’m the only
That’s all I need to know know know know
Madly madly madly
Well if you really love me
When you see me leaving
Just let it go
Madly madly
Tell me that you love me
When you see me leaving
Just let me go
Blindfold
Don't I seem better
Don't I seem just fine
I've been writing you love letters
One at a time
Keep my thoughts in order
Put my love on the line
But you came along and took it all down
Put your laundry up to dry
No matter how hard I try
Don't think you'll ever see
That your love is a perfect blindfold for me
You swim in and out of my heart
Like a fish in a bowl
It's getting warmer with summer approaching
But still my feet are cold
And no matter how hard I try
Don't think you'll ever see
That your love is a perfect blindfold for me
Alone is good for me
It's where I'd rather be
But I could always use the company
When no one else will do and I still will want you
Yeah, I still want you
And no one else will do
Go on push me away
It's the least you can do
My eyes are soar and my feet are tired
Baby, I'm sick of chasing you
And no matter how hard I try
Don't think you'll ever see
That your love is a perfect blindfold for me
No matter how hard I try
Don't think you'll ever see
That your love is a perfect blindfold
For me
Handshake
Hey boy where you’re leaving to
Always leaving all the time
Wanna get caught up to you
Gonna figure how to make you mine
Know I love it when we're together
Don't it always feel so right
Love to fall asleep when you hold me
Wake up and make love in the morning time
Saying love, love is a funny thing
When you're taking more than you can bring
Saying love, love is a funny thing
Oh don't get caught up in the moment
'Cause boy, I got your love right here
Don't blow it, blow it, blow it, oh no no
No baby don't you blow it
And hey boy, how come you feel this way
For a little longer I will try to make you stay
Don't wanna make this hard
But I'm so wound up I might fall apart
You know girls go wild for your east coast style
Happens more than once in a while
Think I know just where you’re coming from
Up against the wall with my clothes all coming undone
Saying love, love is a funny thing
When you're taking more than you can bring
Saying love, love is a funny thing
Don't get caught up in the moment
'Cause boy, I got your love right here
Don't blow it, blow it, blow it, oh no no
No baby don't you blow it now
And now I'm picking up the pieces that you left behind
And it ain't so easy when you're flooding my mind
I try to stay steady but I love my grip
You got the kind of love that ain't easy to quit
Never hesitate to be taking it slow
You got the moves putting on one hell of a show
Always stopping by, never letting me know
But the end you got me begging baby please don't go
No don’t go, no baby don't go now
'Cause I'm talking about love
Love is a funny thing
When you're taking more than you can bring
Saying love, love is a funny thing
Don't get caught up in the moment
'Cause boy, I got your love right here
Don't blow it, blow it, blow it, oh no no
No baby don't you blow it now
Now it's blowing in the wind
Oh it's blowing in the wind
Tell me what did I get myself into this time
'Cause it's blowing in the wind
It's blowing in the wind
Don't get caught up in the moment
'Cause boy I got your love right here
Don't blow it, blow it
War Out of Peace
Well there are times when you know
When you should stay, when you should go
But you don't
Rehearse the lines in your head
You know what needs to be said
But it all comes out bad
And if it's space that you need
If time is falling at your feet
Walking away empty
Love is a crazy dream
Is it what you want
Is it what you need
We go back and forth
Making war out of peace
And you won't let go
And I won't give up
We go round and round
But is it ever enough
Is it ever enough
Lately I'm falling away
Growing more quiet by the day
Not really sure
Why I feel this way
I guess I got a little scared
Someone could actually care
This time, just might be something there
And if it's change that you need
A little more mystery
Some kind of deeper meaning
Love is a crazy dream
Is it what you want
Is it what you need
We go back and forth
Making war out of peace
And you won't let go
And I won't give up
We go round and round
But is it ever enough
Is it ever enough
I'm sure I’ll mess it all up
I'm sure I’ll try to convince myself
That I just need to be
But what I want to be is
Something else, someone else
So why did we cross the line
Mess it all up with the time
And in the end just assume it'll be alright
Is it what you want
Is it what you need
We go back and forth
Making war out of peace
And you won't let go
And I won't give up
We go round and round
But is it ever enough
Is it what you want
Is it what you need
We go back and forth
Making war out of peace
And you won't let go
And I won't give up
No I won't give up
No I won't give up
You Got Me
Tell me you love me
That I don't know how much you mean it
Everytime you look into my eyes
You make sure that I can see it
I can't recall if I ever felt this way before
And if I did, wouldn't want those feelings
Hanging around here anymore
Just so you know
You got me
Nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
If you got love, got love to give
Oh just keep giving it up and someone will let you in
And just, so you know
You got me
Everyday you write it down
Just so I can read it
The best thing that ever happened to you
You know I wanna be it
I can't recall if I ever had a love I truly missed
And if I did, it wasn't no love compared to this
Just so you know
You got me
Nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
If you got love, got love to give
Oh just keep giving it up and someone will let you in
And just, so you know
You got me waiting
Learning my patience
Won't you hurry up and rescue me
There's so much talking
It's all I wanted
Just so you know
You got me
Nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
'Cause if you got love, got love to give
Oh just giving it up and someone will let you in
And just so you know
You got me
Nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
'Cause if you got love
Got love to give
Oh just keep giving it up
And giving it up
And giving it up
And just so you know
You got me
Don't Work
Yourself Up
I might run off at any given time
Don't leave no notes there ain't no reason to lie
Guess I haven't found what I'm looking for
Can't keep my hands to myself
Or my eyes off the door
Is it any wonder that I'm on to the next
I'll be the first one to tell you
And the last to forget
Don't let me drag you into this bitterness
Sometimes I don't even understand the half of it
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Too much, too much love
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Too much, too much love
Sometimes I can't stand to be apart
I walk around this city, alone 'til it's dark
And if the sadness won't ever go away
I suppose I’ll build it a home
So it has a nice place to stay
Most of the time I don't mind the company
But God I wish you would stay
Why do you have to leave
Seems like we always want what we can't have
But that's just life baby, you can't get mad
When there's no one to blame
And nothing here to see
You don't call, I don't blame you
I don't even trust me
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Too much, too much, love
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Don't work yourself up
Too much, too much
I want to love you but I don't know how
I want to love you but I don't know how
I want to love you but I don't know how
I want to love you but I don't know how
And this happens all the time
Oh yes it happens all the time…
A Little
Bit
These days round three o'clock
Rain does start to fall
Downpour on the whole damn block
So loud on the brick walls
Don't go making this easy
Don't go making this hard
'Cause when you come around
Eyes so blue
You know I can't ignore
No I can't ignore
‘Cause you got something I want
Just a little bit
You got something I need
Just a little bit
No matter how hard I try to fight it
You're gonna bring this girl to her knees
'Cause everybody got places to go
And people to see
Everybody got plenty of time
But they don't know how to set it free
So why don't you come back
Come back to me
Baby come on back
Oh come back to me
Cause you got something I want
Just a little bit
You got something I need
Just a little bit
No matter how hard I try to fight it
You're gonna bring this girl to her knees
Yes you're gonna bring this girl to her knees
Yes you're gonna bring this girl to her knees
Yes you're gonna bring this girl to her knees
Bring this girl to her knees
Bringing it up, bring it down to my knees
Bringing it up, bring it down to my knees
Bringing it up, bring it down to my knees…
Interviews
Am I sick of giving the same answers
Are you sick of asking the same questions
If we go round and round repeating
We ain't got no direction
And this system falling apart
I can't believe it all started
At the heart of the matter of fact
I'd put it all in, but I won't get it back
And my love, my love
The only thing that is stable
When my time is all tied up
But my heart is able
So come on
'Cause I won't let you down
And when I come around
Well I'll be good as new
So don't give up on me so soon
These interviews with who
Can't tell the rumors from the truth
Don't let it get the best of you
And don't give up on me so soon
Did the travel ever catch you in a hurry
I can't believe I even began to worry
In the big picture, we're all so small
We get so caught up, forgetting that we fall
Everything about it takes time to grow
So just learn to be loose, and let it all go
'Cause the time goes by, so damn fast
We try to build it all up but is it ever gonna last
And my love, my love
The only thing that is stable
When my time is all tied up
But my heart is able
So come on
'Cause I won't let you down
And when I come around
Well I'll be good as new
So don't give up on me so soon
These interviews with who
Can't tell the rumors from the truth
Don't let it get the best of you
And don't give up on me so soon...
In Bloom
Our love fell out of winter
Along with the leaves
And bloomed into spring
Taking all of our chances
And all of our dreams
And turned 'em into possibilities
I wanna know
What you're thinking
When you're lying in your bed late at night
Trying to keep so still
My heart is pounding
And it's trying just to keep up with the time
I am not yours
You are not mine
Trees sway, seasons change
And so did my heart
We bend 'til we break
And then we fall apart
You made your point
And I rest my case
My dear, you're just a little bit too late
I wanna know
What you're thinking
When you're lying in your bed late at night
Trying to keep so still
My heart is pounding
And it’s trying just to keep up with the time
I am not yours
You are not mine
God gave me patience
Patience to breath
God give me reasons
To not cry anymore about anything
God give me time
Time to think this through
God give me something
Something to keep my mind
Off missing you
And in the afternoon while the sun gets low
I wish I there was some other direction to drive
Somewhere else to go
But there's always one more thing I have to prove
There's always part of me missing you
So light the day
And invite me to stay
Cause now I see
I was always on my way
Just a little late
Cause I cry lot
I cry out of fear
And it’d be nice if
You was all that made up these tears
But its years and years
And in the afternoon while the sun gets low
I wish I there was some direction to drive
Somewhere else to go
But if you never try
You'll never know
Sometimes the best part of goodbye
Is letting go
Oh, but I’ve been dreaming of clear skies
Oh, I’ve been dreaming of hometown coastlines
I would fly
So God give me patience
Patience to see
Within the chaos
There's always room to dream
Just let it be
Hummingbirds
Take all the time you need
We get distracted all the time
And lately I can't stand sleep
Yeah, I got clouds in my eyes
Wake up wake up
How did we get so far
Wake up wake up
Away from where we are
Time stands still in the hours of the night
I couldn't get this right if I tried
Hummingbirds don't make a sound
They're gone as fast as they came
And love is swarming all around
But it still looks the same to me
Wake up wake up
How did we get so far
Wake up wake up
Away from where we are
Time stands still in the hours of the night
I couldn't get this right if I tried
Wake up wake up
How did we get so far
Wake up wake up
Away from where we are
Time stands still in the hours of the night
I couldn't get this right if I tried

All I
Want for Christmas
( Jason Mraz /Live )
What to get the girl who has everything
All I want for Christmas is you
Here's my list, I checked it twice
Wasn't good, wasn't bad
It's naughty and nice
Had my eye on you all year long
Now I know for sure
I wouldn't even have to try you on
No need for gift return
It's gonna be a cold winter
But I won't need the heat to keep me warm
As long as you wrap yourself around me
On Christmas morning
Whether it's now or later
As long as it's before you go
My love is always in your favor
Now you know that
All I want for Christmas
Sweet like a candy cane
Hangin from the tree
I'm striped, you're red and green
When you hit me like a sugar rush
Don't care for the other stuff
The season's all I need
They say wishing for you is like wishing for
Snow in Southern California
But you know that I'll prove them all wrong
My love is true, I simply adore you
It's gonna be a cold winter
But I won't need the heat to keep me warm
As long as you wrap yourself around me
On Christmas morning
Whether it's now or later
As long as it's before you go
My love is always in your favor
Now you know that
All I want for Christmas
I can't say that I've been good all year
I'm making revolutions to get you here
But if it means being better
Then whatever, no sweat
Well I bet my halls
That I deck for the calls?
And Santa Claus
He knows what my intentions are
Even dismissin missiltos
So I can get to know ya
First of all
Singing oh my god
You're the reason that I decorate my yard
It's gonna be a cold winter
But I won't need the heat to keep me warm
As long as you wrap yourself around me
On Christmas morning
Whether it's now or later
As long as it's before you go
My love is always in your favor
Now you know that
All I want for Christmas
It's gonna be a cold winter
But I won't need the heat to keep me warm
As long as you wrap yourself around me
On Christmas morning
Whether it's now or later
As long as it's before you go
My love is always in your favor
Now you know that
All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is us
( Live with G.Love )
You say i'm crazy, cause i can't make up my mind
But i wont let it faze me, instead i leave all these thoughts behind
Cause you say, that you've got
Someone who's wasting your time
But thats alright, cause i got someone
Who's wasting mine
It's in the way u move
Baby what you doin to me
Can't stand it, can't hold back
Everytime i see ya get
Beautiful, beautiful
It's in the way you do
Baby what are you doing to me
The way you shine, strum your chords
They way your mine, the way u sing your words
It aint my fault I'm fallin, cause you got what it takes
Earthquakes couldnt shake the foudation that we buildin off of
And though a long time i waited, but i never loose faith
I'd meet someone like you, yeah I'ma crazy libra baby
Always searching for balance, sometimes to choose right from wrong you
know is such a challenge
But gemini, if we try, you and i, you will find all the time we wasted
Just give us time to find each other
Yeah, peanut butter jelly
Bread and butter
It's in the way you move
Baby whatcha doin to me
Can't stand it, can't hold back
Everytime i see ya get
Beautiful, beautiful
It's in the way you do
Baby what are you doing to me
The way you shine, strum your chords
The way your mine, sing your words
Ahh you gimme that feeling, feelin
No you were never second best
Wouldnt let you settle for less
Ahh babe thats for sure, here you come down with the confidence
Cause you had me at first glance
Ahh babe thats for sure, don't you gimme that feelin, feelin
Ahh babe your dangerous
Ahh baby thats for sure, here you come knocking on my hotel door
And you bless, never stress me, come careess me
Like the wind caress the tress
Tugging on my skirt
Taking off my shirt
Whatever you doin, well it seems to work
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Baby what are you doing to me
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Baby what are you doing to me
Can't stand it, can't hold back
Everytime i see ya get
Beautiful, beautiful
Yeah you give me that feeling feeling
( Live )
You know I love the way my hand fits in
yours
Cause i've been down for so long and you're my cure
But you're driving me crazy, completely crazy
I can't get enough, cause you amaze me
Every time you look my way, I don't know what to say, to you...
Now your breaking girls hearts like a habit
Like you lost all the trust in this world
But maybe I have it
Tell me, what makes an ocean
Different from a sea
What did you loose in her, that you found in me
So long ago, so long ago
You set me free
Might as well be just as scared as you are
Cause who'd of thought we woulda made it this far
But you've been fucked up every time
So I guess, really you were never mine
Cause baby
You can't find me
You can't deny me
When you look at me
You look past me
And you lost me
Completely
But still I love the way your eyes look in mine
And it'stoo bad we can feel this way all the time
Cause the breath between our lips
When we kiss
Is something I hope I never have to miss
But your driving me crazy
Completely crazy
Every time
I'm looking at you but your looking at her
I guess I was blind, cause you always were
You've already given up on me
So long ago, so long ago, you set me free
( Live )
I went on a walk inside
your head, the other day
I couldn't believe some of the things, I heard you say cause
I've seen the way, that you've been looking at me
And it'sdangerous, and very intentionally
Well we can spend the afternoon, locked in your room
Don't act so surprised, I know what you wanna do
Turn off my phone, cause I don't wanna hear it ring
I know my girls be calling up, consistently
Saying..
Ohh, here we go again
You know we thought she learned her lesson
Ohh but I guess I didn't and
It'd be foolish to pretend to say that, I never loved you, and ill never
ever love you again
So I was walking down the road, the other day
I was doing just fine, daydreaming my life away
And then, little daisy caught my eye, and said
"I'll tell you if he loves you or not" and to my surprise
Well I think that daisy lied, cause
I seen the way, that you've been looking in my eyes,
It's ohh so nice, you got me in a daze and now, how could I complain
Ohh, no here we go again, you know I
Thought I learned my lesson,
But you know I never do
And it'd be stupid to believe that
I never loved you and that i'll never love you again
Again, ill never love you
Again, ill be thinking of you again
And again, and again, and again
( Live )
You wanna play the song that breaks my heart
You want her to hear the words that tear me apart
How did you do this to me?
You know you got me right where I'd want you to be
The hard to get make you wait game seems to work
Though in the end I know i'll only end up hurt
I'd probably be here if she would have left
And I bet, forever you would have kept me but
If it wasn't for you, i'd have nothing to say
And if it wasn't for reason, I could make this all go away
And if it wasn't for you I might never have tried
And if it wasn't for you and her I may have never realized
Let the months pass, let the hurt start to feel
I've come to my senses, this is fucked up but it'sreal
You'll break her heart just like you did mine
Your love is weak, it'sonly a matter of time...
If it wasn't for you, i'd have nothing to say
And if it wasn't for reason, I could make this all go away
And if it wasn't for you I might never have tried
And if it wasn't for you and her I may have never realized
( Live )
Wait for you
I would forever
Turn my back on you?
I would never
However long it may take
That's how long I will wait
For you...
Maybe you just need some time alone
Take a trip and go back home
Think about the things that you've done
You know you don't have to please everyone
Around you...
These days it'shard to find some time to get away
Just enough to realize that everything's gonna be ok
Take a break from it all
Learn how to take a fall
You should know that you've made quite an impression on me
And there's no place that I would rather be than
Stuck with you somewhere, anywhere
And just because people talk, that doesn't mean you have to care
These days it seems harder and harder to get away
Ease my mind, clear my throat, soon enough for you to hear me say
That I want you to know
That I'm never gonna let you go
When things aren't fun that's when you know you've got a problem
But every problem was made for problem solving
But you were never problem for me
Except when I let you go cause I was too blind to see, the answer, right
in front of me
These days it'sso hard to find the time to get away
Take a deep breath and a step back
Enough to see that
Everything's working out fine
It's only a matter of time
( Live )
Surrounded by such morons
They stand on their heads to please one another
Bow down, in each others presence
Only to turn around for more lies
Hate the moon, but you say you love the stars
And you ride around in your fancy cars
What a hypocrite you are
Well these contradictions have gone way to far
I can hear you but I, can't make out the words
And are you for real or are you pretend?
Cause you always say one thing, and do another
And for what? What are you trying to cover?
Hate the moon, but you say you love the stars
You'll ride around in your parents fancy cars
What a hypocrite you are
These contradictions have gone way to far
I'm not your anything
( Live )
I'm not your anything
Baby i never was
Something for fun
Something just because
I'm not your anything and baby i never was
Open me up
Read me like a book
I'll give you back
Everything you took
Every breath
Every single look
And i'm just scared you'll find something
A little better than nothing
I'm scared that you'll find the best
Settle for less
If i'm a wick
Your a flame
Light me on fire
To see just why you came
Blow me out
When you realize who's to blame
And i'm just scared you'll find something
A little better than nothing
I'm scared that you'll find the best
Settle for less
( The Cure / Live )
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she says
The one that makes me laugh she says
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it oh, and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face
Kissed her head
Dreamt of all the different ways I had to make her glow
And why are you so far away?
Then she said: Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you
Chorus:
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
So daylight whipped me into shape
No I must have been asleep for days
Moving my lips to breathe her name as I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone,
Alone above a raging sea
that stole the only girla I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
Chorus
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
( Live )
I would return your calls
But you don't call me anymore
I could call to say hello
But i deleted your number, long time ago
We never talked about anything much
Just the usual such and such
We never talked about "you and i"
Or why the stars hang low in the sky
Well i might have been the one
To give your money a little run
But you ran as fast as you came
And maybe i'm the one to blame
When i see you out at night
I will not look your way
Didn't i play it off so well
You looked, but my look, well it never came
But you could have been the one
Make me come all undone
But you ran as fast as you came
Maybe i'm the one to blame
Maybe i would have done the same...

I take a breath and i sigh
And this time i won’t ask why
Cause i’m runnin from the things that i cannot hide
And this time
Reminds me of last time
And i watch you pack your bags
Get in the car
Drive away and if i could
Well i wouldn’t make you stay
Cause it’s better if you go
It’s better if nobody knows
What a mess you make of me
Cause you and your goodbyes
And though i tried i tried i tried so many times
Oh well it’s just something that gets me every time
Oh and this is nothing new
And i’ll be fine
Cause you said you miss me more when i go
Well is that so
Cause well i’ve been gone for quite some time
But the mood in the room and i’m consumed
With you every time
You take my breath away
Cause you and your goodbyes
And though i tried i tried i tried so many times
Oh well it’s just something that gets me every time
Oh and it’s nothing new and i’ll be fine
I know
Cause you and your goodbyes
And though i tried i tried i tried so many times
Oh well it’s just something that gets me every time
Oh well there’s nothing new and i’ll be fine
Yeah there’s nothing new and i’ll be fine

Baby its getting cold
And I don’t know how many times
I told you the way I feel
When someone wouldn’t feel
And when someone’s moving in
This year I don’t want to be alone
And I always thought you change
And yes I know you
Couldn’t but I should’ve
Never expecting you would
Everybody’s telling me I can do better
Everybody’s says that you no good for me
And I now that there’s room for improvement
But then I think
We know better was never me
It was never me … no, no, no …
The sky is so bright
And it’s taking on lots of spaces
No wonder these buildings are to strait
Can get you out of my head or my mind
And I starting to think it would never be the right time
But everybody’s telling me I can do better
Everybody’s says that you no good for me
And I now there’s always room for improvement
But then I think better was never me
It was never me … no, no, no …
And I love you, but I hate you
Yes I love you, but I hate you
Either way I can’t wait you
I love you, but I hate you
Yes I love you, but I hate you
I don’t want to hate you
I just…
Most of the time
( Live )
I am crazy most of the time
But i am simple in this restless mind of mine
Give me something that can grow
A love that i will always know
You make this girl shine
Almost all of the time
Like a letter sealed with a kiss
This is a love i love to miss
And if only i could find
The type of words to describe
I'd probably take up all of your time
All your time
Never mind the secrets that you keep
Cause i wanna know what it takes to move the ground beneath your feet
I wanna see a smile that laughs
Let you have my better half
Cause you make that girl shine
Almost all of the time
Like a letter sealed with a kiss
This is a love i love to miss
And if only i could find
The type of words to describe
I'd probably take up all of your time
All your time
I am shy most of the time
But i'm a quiet in this busy mind of mine
New Soul
( Yael Naim Cover )
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn
A bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake
But why all this hate, try to communicate
Finding just that love is not always easy to make
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take your far away
’Cause I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn
A bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

Beneath the fog is the city i know too well
And it melts like ice and it burns like hell
And the freeways always stopped at 6 o’clock
So i’m leaving without you
Whether you like it or not
Cause you’re breaking me down
Oh you’re breaking me down
You’re breaking me down down down down down
Yeah you’re breaking me down
Yeah you’re breaking me down
Breaking me down down down down down
And the wind blows the leaves off the trees
Oh my, another sign of spring bringing winter to its knees
They say the grass is greener on the other side
See i wanna know all about the darkness behind your eyes
Cause you’re breaking me down
Yeah you’re breaking me down
Breaking me down down down down down
But the change
Is so constant over me
Take me and show me who i am
Well tell me who i need to be
Well tell me who i need to be
Asphalt a little bit darker
And it helps you to remember
When the rain fell in
Sweet november
Be careful who you fall in love with
Cause someone somewhere won’t approve
Oh you know the prettiest girls always seem to keep their eyes on you
Cause you’re breaking me down
Yeah you’re breaking me down
Breaking me down down down down down
So just break me, i dare you
Just break me i swear i’m waiting
If i give you the chance
So so come on break me i dare you
I’m waiting
For you to please just come break me down
( Live )
There's always something in the way
Telling me that i should stay
There's always something new your holding on too
And i just can't seem to see it through
Cause when you opened my eyes to
A little bit of perfection
I must have forgot to mention
That your the love of my life
Something about this isn't right
There's always something in my head
The words that stick before i go to bed
I find them now
But later i can't get them out
So i just smile instead
So when you opened me up to
A little bit of perfection
I'm sure i forgot to mention
That your the love of my life
Something about this can't be right
Did you ever wonder where you'd be
If you weren't here now
And have you ever watched someone's eyes light up
By the words come out of your mouth
Have you ever seen a sunset while your driving south
Well i do, i see it all so clearly now
Cause it opened my eyes up to another direction
I think i forgot to mention, that this is me living my life
And for once it all feels right
( Live )
Sometimes I cry, I don't know why
Cause this world is changing, leaving me behind
But I can't complain, this life I live
Is more than I have to offer, more than I have to give
But inside I'm screaming, but they can't hear me now
If you can reach me, I need you now more than I ever did
And so I sit, and stare at the sky
And if you're here, please tell me why
This oceans big, so far and wide
And everyday I watch the sun fade from my eyes
And now I'm praying, so God if you can hear me help me out
Shed some light on my life, cause I need it now more than I ever did
If you saw me now, you'd say don't cry
Baby girl wipe those tears from your eyes
Cause now your doing, everything they said you couldn't do
And now you realize you don't need them as much as you thought you did
And now they're screaming, and you can hear them loud and clear
And now they need you, just like you needed them
