I used to hide behind the curtains of my living room
Everytime i thought about you coming to my door
I would hang up the phone before you ever said hello
And dash into another aisle when id see you at the store

I was afraid
I was afraid
I was afraid of love
I was af

Hold your breath
Hold the covers over your head
Can you hear the bells
In the distance
In the distance

All aboard we're
Going north
All aboard we're
Chugging up the mountain
Closer still child
Closer still

All aboard
(come on)
All aboard

It's okay I'm going home now
I'll be okay tonight
I just wanna be alone now
with the dark and the light
that's my favorite color blue there
as the sun sets in the sky
there's just something in the hue there
in the corner of my eye

in the dark and the light
i

And i want to forget
And i want to forgive you
To forgive you

Well i was born among it
And i watched it die
But my silent cry
Couldn't break through their wall
They couldn't hear my call

I asked him and he told me
That he didn't really love me
And i cr

Don't look back
Don't look back
As i put on my coat
And i open the door

Break the fear
Break the fear
Of his fist in my stomach
His terrible stare

Don't give in
Don't give in
To the loyalty that
He is drowning me in

Don't wake up
Don't wa

In the bed
My chest is lead
My feet are cold and bare
On the wall it says
Where we'll be next week
But i hope we can last till then
But i hope we can last till then
In our hearts we can't last till then
Hold on

In the day
It's so obvious
And i pray y

She talks to him and the words they run all over
Like a swig of gin he licks his lips to taste again
She cracks a smile and she turns her eyes away from him
Her thought rose up to the place where thoughts begin

And their atoms moved and did a little dance
To create the mood

Fuel for a city
Don't you look pretty

Sometimes you smile and you're not sure quite why
We're all kind of jaded but you have to be patient

Somewhere standing into the sea
I am finding me
Somewhere standing into the sea
I am finding me

Angels walking

Mommy's in the kitchen
Steam rising from the stove
By her feet a cookie sheet
We draw our names in jell-o

I'll never know what it was like not to have a man
To raise these children on your own with no plan
God you're crazy but i love the way you raised me

We never

There is no bad there is no good
And in between i sit here wishing that i could
Just open up and scream
Where is the romance
The promised perfection
I think i tried too hard

There is no day there is no night
Just paths around the sun
We sit here drawing charts o

Shut up and turn off the light oh
And i believe it is wrong to steal

And the silence bring the night
And the silence feels all right

And you're finally inside
Scatter it anywhere you know it's hard to hide

And the silence bring the night
And the silence feels al

I don't wanna tell you i love you
And watch you wither away, wither away
Like a wildflower i picked and it died in an hour
Like it knew i stole its freedom
And it'd rather die than live that way

I almost told you i loved you this morning over coffee
But i caught myself<

It's hard to see
Since it started raining and it
Melts the streets and softens everything
Haloed lights
A quiet sprinkling
In my mind
A distant beckoning

Everything's surrealistic
Everything's surrealistic
Everything's surrealistic in the rain
In the rai

This worn out sweater is slightly torn
Like the mouth of that old woman waiting for that phone
And i hear a little laughter from my own
Cause i see so many sweaters that refuse to be sewn
(mmmm...)

Well i finally threw my valentine away
It was crumpled and faded
And

Cant paint my nails pink
Cause i bite them all down
Gotta keep it quiet
I cant make a sound

I dye my hair black
Cause my mothers a blond
She doesnt know it but soon i'll be gone

I've gotta little suitcase
Full of my dreams
Im gonna think hard
Of the pe

White dogs in the moonlight
Following footsteps through the night
Over the bridge she runs
Barefoot and cold in her nightgown

Maybe she found out he was in love with someone else
Maybe she realized she had never loved herself

And there have been times
