Go, be yourself, on your way And don't ever look back To check if I'm okay And don't ever be sad That you chose him instead 'Cause I don't want regrets And I'd rather be rid of it And when you want someone who'll care Who will know how you feel When you don't wanna share Who will show you support When you've lost your meaning Just remember this time When you chose not to be with me And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me Go, be in love, I don't care But don't ever pretend That we're both unaware 'Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be Close enough that I know That you don't want me to leave And then I remember he's there And he's been there for years At your side like a stain And when I see you with him In your eyes there's a pain And it's trapped you inside Like you can't get away And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half the man that he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me

Oh my gosh You just walked past me Dreamed you just said you loved me My heart is down on one knee How do I move on from here My heart is missing a half beat I accidentally stepped on your feet Didn't know how was I supposed to feel Someone pinch me is this real Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Again and again and again and again Can you love me instead Can't keep up you won't stop talking All I hear is you proposing Can you be my happy ending Maybe take a chance on me Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Again and again and again and again You walked away I couldn't remember What you said but I saw a number On a tiny piece of paper Maybe take a chance on me Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Can you love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead (Can you love me, love me) Oh, love me, love me (can you love me, love me) Can't you here me say "I love you" (can you love me, love me) Again and again and again and again Can you love me instead

Big city calling, I hear the echo outside There's something so frightening in this deep western sky I wish it was simple saying goodbye Comfort me later, for now let me cry Will cracks in the pavement bring me some sort of truth Will they find some way to remind me of you Will the train running eastbound help me remember my part Will this wish for release fill the holes in my heart The sky filled with phantoms in their towers of light And lovers so restless give themselves to the night If you cut me wide open and you looked deep inside Would you find something deeper than this worrying mind? This room is too empty and these streets are too wide And I don't have the patience for this pain to subside So I'm off to the land of litter and lights Where rats in the tunnels keep the ghosts up all night I'll learn the streets slowly, maybe find someone new We'll drink up the sunrise and wake up with the moon But I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool To think that I'll stop Stop thinking of you I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool To think that I'll stop Stop thinking of you

We wanted to implement a plan to cover the extent Of all the trials and tribulations we all underwent Whispering in alleyways, secret lines we'd never say To anyone who walks without a limp Planning for a time in which everyone else made the switch Deciding they would jump instead of run But something lodged itself into the gears that brought us all to you We pleaded to the night to take us home And when the evening light is fading We're still waiting for your wayward kiss And in the belly of the lion I am trying to remember what we missed We collected rabbit's feet, we screwed the land and sowed the sea We found the space between the borderlines We yelled our names over the noise, we saved the girls and drowned the boys We lay down and we waited for a sign And when the evening light is fading We're still waiting for you here on this road And in the belly of the lion I am trying to breathe through his nose

Cindy decided to leave her childhood diary under her bed She burned almost everything except for her wedding ring Because she threw that in the sea She hid in her neighbor's yard and watched as the fire scarred The house she never could leave It was the prettiest thing she thought she had ever seen A thing in which to believe Cindy walked down the street, the smell of the fire so sweet And she laughed through the smoke At the end of the block she made one last stop To make sure she had everything Awash in the beautiful sound of the old house burning down She opened her bag She could have sworn that she took her overdue library books But they were not to be seen A knowing smile crossed her face as she remembered the place Where she left them upstairs She slowly walked back down the street And into the burning debris She couldn't take on any more late fees

Come into vision And last Same psalm mother sung Drink from your flask And ask If anyone has a favorite And we'll sing We sing alone at the top of our lungs Voices ring Escape outside the cathedral I don't care What you *sing? But just do it in your old fashion way Slaping your knee As I said This one makes up for the city And we'll sing Sing alone at the top of our lungs Voices ring Escape outside the cathedral Some folks Just don't give a damn Whether they're coming or going Hey man Take a stand When you're up Put yourself back in place And coming when you hear the ovations Stations Fill up As we leavers Find the receivers Stealing from the beggars wife Here we go I don't know If there's any point to it all But I sure love hearing your voice Jordanna Jordanna Jordaaaannnnaaaaaa Jordanna! Jordanna! Jordannnnnaaaaa! (Ohohoh...) Some folks Just don't give a damn Whether they're coming or going Hey man Take a stand When you're up Put yourself back in place And coming when you hear the ovations Stations Fill up As we leavers Find the receivers Stealing from the beggars wife Here we go I don't know If there's any point to it all But I sure love hearing your voice

On the beach I limped and held your weary hand That windy day we slept well past noon Too busy counting every grain of sand To even have a ghost of a clue I played in the waves like a five-year-old child Timing my jumps with the rolling tide I never looked to see you on the shore Planning your escape and drying your eyes Had you known for a week, a month, or a year Had you been trying in vain to let me know Somehow I never noticed your tears And sitting there smiling I watched you go I laid on back, listening to the waves Humming a song that you never knew The water wet your feet As you crossed through the sand And whispered that you'd be back soon I never thought to ask you when Blind to the sorrow you were laying to rest I never thought to tell you to jump back in And sitting there smiling I watched you go

When you finally scaled the wall Thinking you had heard the siren singing What you really heard was a broken bird Making out like it's a dove When you stole the soldier's car Everybody knew what you were thinking Ivory towers and lover's flowers But no one thought you were a fool You never stopped to notice all The stolen clothes stacked in the hall From the others who scaled the wall just to Find themselves run off the road When you showed up from the farm Visions of the summer flying past you The foxes had torn up The mother and her pups And the well was full of flies When you walked down to the pond Searching for the lover guiding you It had been filled in with rusty nails and then You finally knew that you were lost But no one thought you were a fool Even though everyone knew That your road was the same With just a different name As those who'd escaped before you You never stopped to notice all The loose change strewn in the hall From the others who scaled the wall just to Find themselves run off the road
