Red eyes, tell me twice Sure I'll put my hopes on ice Fair skin, empty face Help me keep my nerve in place Read my lips, time slips Slowly from your fingertips Make my night, hold tight Thrill me till my teeth go white Be my myth or be your sin Save me at your own expense Well it's just like a girl I can keep a boy guessing I'll wring you by the neck and I'll teach you such a lesson I'll bleed from my profession Here is my confession Give me half a chance and you can be my new obsession I'll take your only sympathy Put me out my misery Blow me one more kiss and baby you can have the best of me Next time we wed I'll be on my best behaviour Next time we wed I'll be everybody's saviour Next time we wed Darling I'll be a saint I'll be wrong when you're right Keep my mouth shut and lips tight Beg from my toes to my head The next time we wed Tell me this for nothing Make me dignified Kiss me as you're leaving Just so you can say you tried Make me sentimental Beat me black and blue Hit me up it's just so simple Darling I'm too good for you Well it's just like a girl I can keep a boy guessing I'll wring you by the neck and I'll teach you such a lesson I'll bleed from my profession Here is my confession Give me half a chance and you can be my new obsession I'll take your only sympathy Put me out my misery Blow me one more kiss and baby you can have the best of me Next time we wed I'll be on my best behaviour Next time we wed I'll be everybody's saviour Next time we wed I'll be handsome in the daylight Next time we wed Oh honey I will lose my stage fright Next time we wed I won't specialize in failure Next time we wed I'll be everybody's saviour Next time we wed Honey I'll be a saint I'll be wrong when you're right Keep my mouth shut and lips tight Beg from my toes to my head The next time we wed The next time we wed The next time we wed The next time we wed

Hear a pounding in my head my heart is beating As I lie awake at night here in my bed And I just can't stop this pain that I am feeling And I just can't shake this awful sense of dread With my hand I touch your hair while you are sleeping And I listen close so I can hear you breathe And I pray to God you're never gonna leave me And I close my eyes again and try to sleep When you wake up to the morning sun you're smiling And the dark night's just a memory from the past Then you put your hand in mine, and everything feels fine 'Til the nеxt time ('til the nеxt time) Ooh, 'til the next timе There's a green light on the clock that burns right through me And it's saying that it's 25 past three There's a wind that's blowing hard outside the doorway And a feeling in my heart won't let me be As we drive on down the road the windshield's wiping And all the while the radio's soft and low And I see something in your eyes As the rain outside subsides And I tell that pain inside it's time to go When you wake up to the morning sun you're smiling And the dark night's just a memory from the past And then you put your hand in mine, and everything feels fine 'Til the next time ('til the nеxt time) Ooh, 'til the next time With my hand I touch your hair while you are sleeping And I listen close so I can hear you breathe And I pray to God you're never going to leave me And I close my eyes again and try to sleep When you wake up to the morning sun you're smiling And the dark night's just a memory from the past And then you put your hand in mine, and everything feels fine 'Til the next time ('til the nеxt time) Ooh, 'til the next time Mm-hmm, 'til the nеxt time Hmm

This is much better than it ever was before. And next year I better have my foot in the door, Cause all along I felt it all so much. Now I'm feeling strong, But hard work seems to get me nowhere. So ears to the wall and listen for a shred of hope. And I can't ignore the sound of good to come This time next year. Nothing is better than making my own day, But anything is better than wasting away. And all along I let them get to me, But not for long cause this time next year I'll be listening. So ears to the wall and listen for a shred of hope. And I can't ignore the sound of good to come This time next year. You can get next to me, but you can't read my mind. I'll have faith in, I gotta have faith in, in what no one else will. I'll have faith in, I gotta have faith in, in what no one else will. I'll have faith in, I'll have faith in, in what no one else will.

I don't wanna hide But I've got my pride And I don't like to ever need Someone by my side I stay locked up all the time And I tell myself I'm free But I want you close to me Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through I spent my whole life in fight or flight But I called it holding ground So I'll let you in, slowly brick by brick 'Cause I don't want to hold back now I wanna let it all fall down Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through Only your love's breaking through

They tell me I used to be weary That I was nearly fading to black But I don't recall another feeling Before I loved you back They say there's more to my story But those days have all slipped my mind Now the only thing blue in my memory Is the color of your eyes last night What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest I walked alone, so they tell me But that was pages and pages ago Now I've put my feet where they're supposed to be And they'll all say that's all she wrote What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest We are together So, I forget the rest

When I go out and try to walk alone Pretending I don't need a hand to hold I'm hiding, but I know that you can see I know you know me When I am drawing lines in the sand You are the moon that pulls the tide back in I rise and fall, you feel the gravity I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me No matter where the storm is in my mind It'll never be a place that you can't find You hold the candle, oh, you hold the key I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me

Guess what, it's the same old song I've been writing all along Never did figure it out I sit down here to work through my fears And that's what I end up singing out loud Oh, but who am I to think I get to solve the mystery Of who and why and what was all that about So, turn off the record if you think I'm getting better I don't wanna let you down I don't wanna let you down I really do wanna tell you something cool But I'm still cleaning up my mess I scream at the clouds and drink after hours But the answers don't come without a return address So, I'm reading my mail and paying my bail From the prison I've been making in my head So, now you can bury me in obscurity 'Cause all I wanna be is a heart on a sleeve All I wanna be is a heart on a sleeve I don't wanna put my pain on a pedestal Wrap it up and sell it to you at the record store I know we all feel the same, I'm just a little louder Same lemons in my bloody hands, turning me sour So, I've been playing at the church of Mary Oliver Yeah, I'm trying to know myself and love all of her I'm finding wonder in the hyacinths And owning up to lies and sins And when I think I'm done I do it again When I think I'm done I do it again and again and again All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve

When I go out and try to walk alone Pretending I don't need a hand to hold I'm hiding, but I know that you can see I know you know me When I am drawing lines in the sand You are the moon that pulls the tide back in I rise and fall, you feel the gravity I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me No matter where the storm is in my mind It'll never be a place that you can't find You hold the candle, oh, you hold the key I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me
