in through my veins, without brains, I involuntarily take what I need, then I bleed and it comes right back to me. But guts only eat and sometimes they repeat on you. Keeping you on your toes or crouched above the loo. That’s what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. That’s [...]
Look at my mouth, a thin painted line Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine Forever, ever mine Form of a tree, shape of a child I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile Forever, ever mine Chorus: I know you must have loved me sometime But now I’m just [...]
Broke into the old apartment This is where we used to live Broken glass, broke and hungry broken hearts and broken bones This is where we used to live Why did you paint the walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door? This is [...]
Everywhere I go someone’s tryin’ to be my girlfriend’s best friend I’m tryin’ to pretend I’m relaxed but I’m playin’ castanets with my knees I try to be cool and give her space But a guy’s always there ready to jump right up and take my place Everyone in this room seems to want to [...]
I look straight in the window, try not to look below Pretend I’m not up here, try counting sheep But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower Nine-point-eight straight down I can’t stop my knees. Chorus: I wish I could fly From this building, from this wall And if I should try, would [...]
I climb the walls of my mind just like I’m climbing on the jungle gym. I am more than content with the state of mind I am in. ’cause I am crazy just like you. I am crazy just like you. I don’t think I need a rubber room, but that might be nice. I’m [...]
if there’s someone you can live without, then do so. And if there’s someone you can just shove out, do so. Chorus You can be my Yoko Ono You can follow me wherever I go Be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono. isn’t it beautiful to see two people so much in love? Barenaked [...]
Hydro field cuts through my yard. And somehow that always just made me feel good. I can put a spare bulb in my hand and light up my yard. Late at night when the wires in the walls sing in tune with the din of the falls I’m conducting it all while I sleep to [...]
You’re in an all-girl band Your futon’s second hand Your parents understand but you don’t care I have a job in a shop I’m an undercover cop I make sure the customers aren’t thieves Old at being young Young at being old Everything’s on hold within our evolution Chorus: You’re my alternative girlfriend I love [...]
The credits roll, the camera pans And in the mist our hero stands He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer An awkward pause, then what’s my line? There’s nothing left to say this time And what would you say to a bad guy who’s not there? In terms of Roman numerals, He’s [...]
Now I lay me down not to sleep. I just get tangled in the sheets. I swim in sweat 3 inches deep Just lay back and claim defeat Chapter read and lesson learned. Turn the lights off while she burns. So while she’s 300 degrees, I throw the sheets off and I freeze. Chorus: Lids [...]
You and I were meant to be Even though you don’t know me I don’t even know your name And do you think that you know mine? You were lonely, I was bored I may be more than you can afford But I’m sure we’ll meet halfway And I’ve got this crazy feeling you’ve been [...]
I’m so cool, Too bad I’m a loser I’m so smart Too bad I can’t get anything figured out I’m so brave, Too bad I’m a baby I’m so fly, That’s probably why it feels just like I’m falling for the first time I’m so green, It’s really amazing I’m so clean, Too bad I [...]
Alcohol, my permanent accessory Alcohol, a party time necessity Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself O Alcohol, I still drink to your health. Refrain: I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol. Forget the café lattés, screw the raspberry iced tea A Malibu and Coke for you, a g&t for [...]
I found my locker and I found my classes Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses, That guy is huge! That girl is wailing! First day of school and I’m already failing. This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is [...]
You know he’s not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him Crumble to a ball around his feet. So he’s always ready, he’s always set, he’s always well prepared, he’s the most peculiar man you’ll ever meet. Chorus You know he’s not the king of Bedside Manor. He’s not the [...]
You and I have been through this before I owe you my whole life, nothing more I never said that I liked you the most You’re my father, I’m your son, who’s the Holy Ghost? Where does the time go when it’s not around here? Here we stand at the edge of the drive I’m [...]
When I was born, they looked at me and said, “What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.” And when you were born, they looked at you and said, “What a good girl, what a what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.” We’ve got these chains that hang around our [...]
Here we are again and we’re looking at each other as if each other were to blame. You think you’re so smart, but I’ve seen you naked and I’ll probably see you naked again. MillI VanillI told you to Blame it On The Rain, but if you blame it on the rain tell me what [...]
The bravest thing I’ve ever done Was to run away and hide But not this time, not this time And the weakest thing I’ve ever done Was to stay right by your side Just like this time, and every time I couldn’t tell you I was happy when you were gone So I lied and [...]
