Trouble

Ah yes

I remember too well

How hard

I tried avoiding your spell

It was a cold October night

It was a far from sober night

And I was taken at first sight

And this was much to your delight

I'd heard

That you were looking for prey

Hungry for a different girl everyday

But you were so sly in coming in

I wouldn't fight, I let you win.

Although the blood upon your chin

Told me exactly where you'd been

Trouble trouble

Troublemaker

Who would have thought I'd ever let somebody get to me

Who would have thought I'd ever give a damn

I gave to you the one thing that I can never retrieve

And I am leaving my heart bleeding in my hands

You told me all about your dreams

You were so deep,

Or so it seemed

Although I'm young, I'm not naive

I am not easy to deceive

I see the danger that lies beyond your eyes

And I wanna scream when you're rubbing on my thighs

Ooh I know I should but I can't say no, I won't.

Troublemaker, gotta let you go

Trouble ooh trouble

Troublemaker

Who woulda thought I'd ever let somebody get to me

Who woulda thought I'd ever give a damn

I gave to you the one thing that I can never retrieve

And now you're leaving my heart bleeding in my hands

I thought I knew you well

I thought you'd catch me if I fell

But when I fell you never came

That's when I knew this was a game

I thought, because I knew that I'd won now

But honey, that's easier said than done

Cause I lose my breath when you're kissin' on my neck

Boy you've got me in check, but I haven't lost yet

Trouble trouble trouble

Troublemaker troublemaker

Don't you bring it round

Don’t you bring it round here no no

Trouble trouble

 

January

Yeah, I’m really excited about seeing you again

The other night was really great

You know, it was kinda scary

I mean, I’ve never really done anything like that before

But I trust you

You say although your love for me is strong

That a lover under seventeen is wrong

Another night goes by

And I awake enveloped in your arms, yeah, yeah

You won't make up your mind

Because my helplessness turns you on, yeah, yeah

(Turns you on)

If you leave now, baby don't come back

If you leave baby don't come back

If you leave now, baby don't come back

If you’re leaving baby don't come back

January's just around the corner

I know that you'll be back by then

I'm counting down the days of my calendar

Til loving me won't be a sin

I thought that after all we've seen and done

That your battle with morality was won

You've already crossed the line (crossed the line)

You might as well just wait it out yeah yeah

I haven't got the time (haven't got the time)

To be let in and then be shut out, oh no, no

So if you leave now, baby don't come back

If you leave, baby don't come back

If you leave now, baby don't come back

If you’re leaving baby don't come back

January's just around the corner

I know that you'll be back by then

I'm counting down the days of my calendar

Til loving me won't be a sin

I don't want you to leave, but I need you to know

That I can only take so much of all your come and go

So stick around and they'll be no more reason for concern

Because your baby will be legal when the season turns

Cause January’s just around the corner

I know that you'll be back by then

I'm counting down the days of my calendar

Til loving me won't be a sin no

January's just around the corner

I know that you'll be back by then

I'm counting down the days of my calendar

Til loving me won't be a sin yeah

January, January

We both knew that someday all of this would end

I tried to help

But all I seem to do is hurt

Not only her but myself

When it all comes down, oh

Don't close your eyes

It feels so empty

Without my hand entwined with yours

I don't know where to go

Cause I'm all alone

Ain't got nobody on my side

You come around here no more

And someday

I'll be on the road again

Marble Steps

I climb the marble stairs that lead away

Away from everything I used to know

I try to keep my eyes down on the way

A way my mother told me not to go

Well all I wanted was a hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I’ve suffered long enough

So take me away

Find me a home

I’m on my way

I’m on my way yeah

I wonder when I'll see the stars again

I thought that they had faded long ago

With every step I’m closer to the end

I’m climbing cause I don't know where to go

Well all I ever wanted was a place to store my faith

I thought that I could keep it locked away

It burns my eyes to look at him

And see the truth inside

And so I’ve turned my broken face away

So take me away

Find me a home

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I always dreamed of Sundays together with you

Only your echoes can break my heart

I need a hand to hold me

To keep me on land

I feel I am drifting too far

Well all I ever wanted was a hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I've suffered long enough

Oh take me away

Find me a home

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

You know I’m gone

I’m gone

I’m on my way

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah oh oh

 

Open Your Eyes

Day after day

All I saw was you

And the sky came a tumblin' down

Smoke in the air

All I want is truth

I am a light that's aglow, that's alive

That's a warm place in your heart

You kept turning me on and off

Til I went out and you were standing shivering in the dark

Open your eyes

And see me leaving

Closing the door

I won't think twice

When you come pleading

Not anymore

Hope was a dream that I had of you

In the soft warm slumber of dawn

I must keep in mind

That reality can be painful if neglected too long

I am aware

That I will soon be released

To the mercy of a concrete jungle

I thought that I could glide right in

But instead

It's over loneliness and pride I stumble

Open your eyes

And see me leaving

Closing the door

I won't think twice

When you come pleading

Not anymore no no no

Open your eyes

And see that I am not afraid of saying goodbye

Your strikes are up, I'm gone

So don't even try

Cause I'm telling you right now

Hey that I'm a free young woman

And I gotta be movin' on

Once I was lost in my strife

And getting you off was my life

I was in doubt, now I know

That getting rid of you was all I needed to grow

Once I was lost, now I'm found

With my adidas on the ground

Once I was blind, now I see

The negative effect that you were having on me

Open your eyes

And see me leaving

Closing the door

I won't think twice

When you come pleading

Not anymore no no

You're not the man

That I remember

Tell me your name

Cold empty seat

That long November

You never came no no

Open your eyes

And see me

See me leaving

 

Sensitive Subject Matter

I told I would be there for you

A promise I intend to keep

But the subject matter here it’s a little too close to home

And now I can't take back what I gave

All the times we've seen

The states we've been in

You always saved me from my troubled self it seemed

But now I’m hearing all these words you say

And I’m not sure if I can stay

And listen to you melting all my dreams

Baby it’s you that kept my feet on the ground

Thought that I could choose if I always wanted you around

Darling I do

Think we need time apart

I still need time to mend my broken seams

I told you I would listen to you

So I’m all ears

But don’t ask me respond

You’re pleased from my advice

Cause now I’m too burdened to speak

Baby it’s you that kept my feet on the ground

Thought that I could choose if I always wanted you around

Darling I do

Think we need time apart

I think the time has come for me to go

Oh, I can’t be by myself

But there is no one else

And well it hurts to know someone else takes your years

But I cannot forget how hard I cried

When I discovered you had lied

When you said I could never hurt like this

Baby it’s you that kept my feet on the ground

I thought that I could choose if I always wanted you around

Darling I don’t think that we need time apart

And I think the time has come for me to go

Cause I’m weary

I’m so weary

I told you

I'd be there

I'm broken

I'm so broken

But I’m here

It's painful

It's so painful

I'd told you

I'd believe

But these are secrets I cannot afford to hear

These are secrets I cannot afford to hear now now yeah

 

Somebody

I sit alone

In the dark theatre watching the people go by

Hand in hand

Everybody but me

Oh

I stay behind

Watching the credits roll by

Roll roll roll right by me

But I know, I won't cry

Cause there is somebody somebody somebody waiting for me

Out in the rain

Won’t cry

Not tonight

Cause there is somebody waiting for me

Oh yeah

I take a walk

The streets are busy tonight

And I am searching for you

Waiting to brush your shoulder

But I'm alone

I watch the faces roll by

Roll roll roll right by me

But I know, I won't cry

Cause' there is somebody somebody somebody waiting for me

Out in the rain

Won’t cry

Not tonight

Cause there is somebody waiting for me

How many words will go unspoken

Til I hear knocking upon my door

I'm not talking the night I spent heart broken

But tonight I know

I won't cry no more oh

I lie awake

I left the porch light on

I hope it helps you to find your way

Outside

I hear the thunder roll by

Roll roll roll right by me

But I know, I won't cry

Cause' there is somebody somebody somebody waiting for me

Out in the rain

Not gonna cry tonight

No cause there is somebody waiting for me

Not gonna cry tonight

No no no no no

Oh yeah

Not gonna cry

Not tonight cause there is somebody waiting for me

I stay behind

Watching the credits roll by

Roll roll roll right by me

 

I Hold Her

Smokey is my apple

And green are my eyes

Silent as snowfall

I whisper goodbyes

Farewell to the child

That I used to be

I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby"

The wolf and the lion

Have asked me to play

Though she told me not to

I went anyway

A pile of matches

The truth at my feet

I hold her, she's sobbing my baby

The cream in my tea

Spells out something to me

And they say that I’ll heal by the day

But the message I give

Kills off all will to live

I'm afraid that I’m losing my way

Burning in heaven

My destiny lies

When she read my stars

She didn't mention that night

I loved you, my Bambi

I don't want to leave

But, I hold her she's sobbing, "my baby"

Yeah yeah

I hold her, she's sobbing

I hold her, she's sobbing

I hold her, she's sobbing "my baby"

Yeah yeah yeah ooh oh

 

A Voice That Carries

I gotta get away from here,

Where it’s always cold

I wanna warm my soul

Because I'm watching the inlands die

Said I'm gonna pack my bags

Gonna leave today

I got no need to stay

Cause no ones gonna kiss me goodbye

I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to face today because

I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leads

Me weary at all

I've got a voice that carries, carries me on up

And gonna carry me down to LA

I said it’s been ten long years,

Since I've seen the sun

I’m living on the run

So I’m hanging my head in shame

So my momma said to speak my mind,

So listen what I say, cause there will come a day

When everybody screaming my name

I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don’t need anybody to face today because

I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leads

Me weary at all

I've got a voice that carries, carries me on up

And gonna carry me down to LA

I've got a voice that carries, carries me down

To where the sun don't stop

I've got a voice that carries, carries me

Away from my pain yea

I've got a voice that carries, carry me down

Where the sand is hot

I've got a voice that carries, that’s the only

Thing that’s keeping me sane

I've got a voice, can you hear it, calling me,

Up and away

I've got a voice, can you hear it, calling me,

Calling me, calling me down to LA

Never a place to go, or a place to be no

As long as I can breathe,

I'll always have my get away song

I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to face today because

I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leads

Me weary at all

I've got a voice that carries, carries me on up

Carries me down to LA

I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to face today because

I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leads

Me weary at all

I've got a voice that carries, carries me on up

Carries me down to LA

I gotta voice that carries

I gotta voice that carries

I gotta voice that carries

I gotta voice that carries

I gotta voice that carries

Yea yea

 

Confessions of a Teenage Girl

I'm just a girl

With good intentions

I don't cry to get attention

Most of the time

I'm just a girl

I do some damage

I use my gender to my advantage

Is this a crime

If there is a time, I ever need an alibi

I don't have to try, it’s built in

It comes with the package ah

Along with sugar and spice and everything nice

The power I posses to entice

It’s built in

It comes with the package ah

That’s why I love being a teenage girl

Feeling to find where I fit in the world

I'm in bloom, I'm in bloom

And if ever I'm caught doing what I should not

They'll assume, I'm an innocent girl

I'm just a girl

I keep my promise

I won't bite

Completely harmless, most of the time

I'm just a girl

My wrath is tender

Bat my eyes

And they surrender

Is this a crime

If there is a time I ever need an alibi

I don't have to try, it’s built in

It comes with the package ah

Along with sugar and spice and everything nice

The power I posses to entice

It’s built in, it comes with the package ah

That’s why I love being a teenage girl

Feeling to find where I fit in the world

I'm in bloom. I'm in bloom

And if ever I'm caught doing what I should not

They'll assume I'm an innocent girl

 

Honey

Memories haunting my evenings,

Eyes watching me through the moon

I hope my good days aren't over

Not so soon

I never have seen an angel

I gave up watching the sky

Whisper softly to me honey

But don't lie, don't you lie

I still see you when my eyes are closed

And tell me why I can't let go

I still smell you inside of my clothes

Oh, honey

Someday I'll go for the glory oh

I'll conquer everyone’s fears and

And for once the ending of the story won't be tears

I have seen too much betrayal

I have heard too many lies

Someday I'll be purple lightening in the skies

I still see you when my eyes are closed

Tell me why I can't let you go

I still smell you inside of my clothes

Oh, honey

I can't love anybody but you, oh, honey

I was alone, I was broken

I needed someone to love

Your love was sticky like honey

Your love was sticky like honey

I said your love was sticky like honey

I got stuck

I still see you when my eyes are closed

And tell me why oh I can't let go

I still smell you inside of my clothes

Oh, honey whoa yeah

I can't love anybody but you, I'm afraid

Yea but I know it’s true

I can't find no one sweeter then you

Oh, honey

See you, feel you, touch you, can't let go of you oh

Honey

 

 

Green Grass

Are you leaving, do I feel you disappear

Am I crying

Am I dreaming, will I wake up years ago

Am I dying

Well I remember, so long ago

And the sky was still blue,

I was walking and I'm not alone, not alone

I remember so long ago and it still felt so good

And you told me I could have my way with you

I remember way down inside

You're pretending, make-believing

I am in charge, I am a child

I am starving, I am eating from your hands

Feed me fiction

Well I remember, so long ago

And the night I was new and you told the two

Sets of three, yes you did

And I remember so long ago

And the green in your eyes that is something

Inside me that burns, feel it burning,

Way down inside

On that beautiful night, I watched you lay flat

Through the one beautiful, near the green grass

Where I held you, in the green grass

Where I went, way down inside

Well I remember so long ago and

You said not a word but I know that

I heard your goodbye, yes I did

And I remember so long ago

And I knew you were gone but your love

And your heart through the years

I still love you, way down inside yea ooh

Would the life forget the time

Would the soul forget to die

Would the wind forget to sigh

Would my eyes forget to cry

I'll remember like the moon

Way down inside

I’ll remember like the moon

Way down inside
