Growing Pains

Billie Myers Growing Pains Lyrics
1.Kiss The Rain

Hello...
Can you hear me
Am i getting through to you

Hello...
Is it late there
Is there laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone
Cuz i'm
Trying to explain
Something's wrong
You just don't sound the same

Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever i'm gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello...
Do you miss me
I hear you say you do
But not the way i'm missing you

What's new
How's the weather
Is it stormy where you are
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What i'm left imagining
In my mind
My mind
Would you go
Would you go

Kiss the rain

As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever i'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

(kiss the rain)
(kiss the rain)
(kiss the rain)

Hello...
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me


2.A Few Words Too Many

Wait a minute
What did you say
Did i hear you say
There's no real reason left for you to stay?
Under your breath i hear your soft voice break
Can we still be friends
I hear you talking but you're just not making sense
I've been hoping for a happy ending
Now i know that there won't be any

Just a few words too many
In my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid
Oh i wish that we were strangers
We could start again
Start again
All over

A broken shadow falls across your face
As you hesitate
Trying to think of all the things you need to say

Bare face the truth lies at my feet
As you turn away
Sometimes silence has a way of making peace

I've been hoping for a happy ending
Now i knew that there won't be any

Just a few words too many
In my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid
Oh i wish that we were strangers
We could start again
Start again
All over again

Staring at the ceiling
Wondering just what you're feeling
Was it me
Or was it you
What's the difference
If i knew

Maybe i wouldn't feel so empty
If i had heard a few words too many
In my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid

Oh i wish that we were strangers
We could start again
Start again
Start all over again

We could start again
We could start again

Round and round and round and round
In my head

Yeah

Wait a minute
What did you say
Did i hear you say


3.Tell Me

Dreaming
But i'm not sleeping
Or have i died
Died of life

Swimming
As i'm sinking
I'm holding onto
Letting go, yeah

Oh, how does it feel
Making love to me like you do

Tell me
Who would you be
Would you be me
The woman in me
Would you like to be
Under my skin
I'll let you in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

What you're feeling
I wanna crawl under your skin
I wanna know how you feel in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Naked
Oh i like you naked
And when i fake it
You like me more

Exploring
The taste i'm touching
You're watching

Would you be me
The woman in me
Would you like to be
Under my skin
I'll let you in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna know how you feel in me

Making love to me if i were you

Making love to me like you do

Would you feel it
I wanna crawl under your skin
I wanna know how you feel in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah


4.You Send Me Flying

I don't want to make a habit of this
But seeing you is like getting a fix
Every time i kid myself, i'll never do it again
Definition of love on a cliff
A lemming has no alternative
I want to die in your arms, that's my
Suicide wish

It's only 13 hours till i leave the ground
And i may never come down again
So will you meet me there on a ride
Somewhere
Just turn left at the sun, before it sets
Let's go naked, would you dare?

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying over the moon
For joy.

I don't want to make a fool of myself,
Especially since you're with someone else,
Outwardly demure i would die for you,
Will you forive my inclination to tell,
I throw my wishes down your wishing well,
I want you now, in a non too subtle way,
Do you want me too
So will you meet me there, on a ride some-
Where,
Just a right at the moon, before it moves
Lets go naked, would you dare?

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying over the moon
For joy.

You send me flying, you send me flying, you send me flying

You, you, send me flying, you send me flying
You send me flying, knocking me over,
You, you send me flying, you send me flying,
You send me flying, flying over the moon
For joy.

Definition of love on a cliff,
A lemming has no alternative,
I want to die in your arms, that's my suicide
Wish...


5.Please Don't Shout

You shake me free of my dreams
From this bed i hit the floor
What day is it anyway?
Go away and close the door

I want to cry in silence
You want to talk some sense
I've just stopped trying
It feels like i'm dying

Please don't shout
It's only anger that you're waking
Please don't shout
Can't you see i'm not listening

Today i cry for my sins
Tomorrow call me a fool
The pressure drives me deeper
It's like there's nothing left to lose

Oh, anger is my best friend
Why don't you pull up an easy chair
You can't save anyone else
You can't save me from myself

Please don't shout
It's only anger that you're waking
Please don't shout
Can't you see i'm not listening, no

Please don't shout
It's my patience that you're wasting
Please don't shout
Can't you see i'm not listening

I'm not listening
I'm not listening
Stop your shouting
I'm not listening

If only i could release
Instead of talking to myself
Every feeling that i have
Would you bury all my doubts

But you can't walk in my shoes
Every mile just feels like two
I won't keep explaining
I won't keep on trying
So what if i'm hiding
You're giving me a headache

Please don't shout
It's only anger that you're waking
Please don't shout
Can't you see i'm not listening, no

Please don't shout
It's my patience that you're wasting
Please don't shout
Can't you see i'm not listening

Please don't shout

Oh no

I stopped listening
I'm not listening
No, i'm not listening
Can't you hear me
I'm not listening


6.The First Time

Lets go
Yeah, your memories are too kind
Behind every closed door lies another room
Waiting there for you

Should i open the pandora's letter box
Like she wanted me to
Outside the time and space we share
E always equals mc squared

Don't you know

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Building castles on quicksand
Wearing all the emperor's new clothes
Reaching down through the looking glass
Where am i on the yellow brick road

Always ending where i began
Adam left eve the original sin

Don't you know

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Law of diminishing returns
Will i live long enough to learn

Don't you know

I don't think you know
I don't think you know

I know i know what i said
I know i know what i said the first time
Yes the first time

I hope that this won't be
I hope that this ain't the last time
It feels like the first

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever feels quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Nothing tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing tastes like it should

Don't you know

Nothing ever cuts quite as deep
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever hurts quite as much
As a touch
Left by the last time
The first time
The first time

I want the last time to be like like
The first time

Well you know

Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good

That good
You'll never get it back


7.Mother, Daughter, Sister, Lover

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
Her needles and pins hold the pieces together,
She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom,
In the palm of her hand, your future is there running
Through

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
There's no perfect choice, as you walk in your future
Be still a child on your bed of eggshell,
Behind your first steps, it's her shadows that cushion
Your fall

All questions will simply beg,
The most innocent replies.
She'll make you a daisy chain
And cry as you walk away.

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
Her needles and pins hold the pieces together,
She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom,
A shoulder to cry on,
She'll leave all the lights on for you
Yeah she will leave them on for you

All questions will simply beg,
The most innocent replies.
She'll make you a daisy chain
And cry as you break away.

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
One day soon you'll be one or the other,
You'll offer forgiveness, my savior, my sinner,
And then you will see that the circle begins here with...
Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
Father, and son, brother, lover

One day soon you'll be one or the other.
And you'll see that the circle begins here with...me

We can grow together
We can walk together
We can laugh, we can
Cry together
Mother, daughter,
Sister, lover
Father, and son,
Brother, lover
One day soon
I'll discover
What will be...
One or the other


8.The Shark And The Mermaid

Without a moments hesitation
They threw caution to the wind.
He though, she must be blind not to see
He was no prince charming, no beauty.
She held flowers at her fingertips,
And honey fell from her lips,
He dived, into the oceans wild
As she swam in the morning mist...

He said, if it's mine it will be, always yours.
Cast away any doubt and open up those
Doors... it was the

Shark and the mermaid

As they grow in mind and body,
And the days turned into years.
He thoughm one day she might go away,
But her love overshadowed his fears.
Under the liquid sky,
Where they lived they were legends to
Behold.
Fate distracted by their simple charms,
Left them there to love alone.

Now the angels wait patiently,
For the shadows down below, they stop and
Smile because...

It's the shark and the mermaid

Nobody thought that the love would last
Everybody looked and everybody laughed
But the mermaid and the shark they just
Slipped away
Nothing stopped them no one got in their
Way
Standing together as lovers and friends.
They stayed together their love knew no
End,
Proving everyone wrong, they grew together
They were strong.
Everybody was wrong.
About the...
Shark and the mermaid


9.Having Trouble With The Language

Picture postcard honesty
In the land of hopeless dreams
That man in my sitting room
Only lives behind the screen

Oh, look at me happily
In this third party situation
A married man with a see through smile
Who's not quite what he seems

Oh, i'm having trouble with the language
Having trouble getting through
Haven't learned my lessons well
So i don't know what to do

Having trouble with the language
Do you voulez-vous?
Never catch a falling knife
Oh, that's just my point of view

Andre's such a sycophant
Who always leaves the truth behind
Always stands on the outside
No matter how hard she tries
It's been a while
Ready smile
I've got to go
Oh look at the time
If only she knew
What the restless do
She would surely break down and cry

Oh, i'm having trouble with the language
Yeah, having trouble getting through
Haven't learned my lessons well
So i don't know what to do

Having trouble with the language
Do voulez-vous?
Never catch a falling knife
Oh, that's just my point of view

That's just my view

In a storm electric
The lightning struck his head, twice
Now i'm a vegetarian
Because the pig in the middle is dead

Oh yeah
Oh no

Downtown at the funeral home
There's a dark cloud over our heads
She looked better in a black suit
But he looked better... dead

Oh, having trouble with the language
With a knock, knock, knock
Having trouble breaking through
And a knock, knock, knock
Yeah, no you don't know what to do

Having trouble with the language
Do you voulez-vous?
Never catch a falling knife
Oh, that's just my point of view

Oh yeah
Oh, is talking 'bout
Having trouble with the language
Do you voulez-vous?
Never catch a falling knife
Oh, that's just my point of view

Having trouble with the language
Having trouble getting through
I still don't know
I don't know what to do


10.Opposites Attract

I've watched the morning undress you
So many times but i still catch my every breath
It hasn't always been easy
So many changes
But time washes over us

No you don't blame me for all that i'm not
For all that i am you say is so much more than good enough

Who said that opposites don't attract
If you say this then i'll always say that
Who said that opposites don't attract
If black is white, and white is black
Then it's the fact we're both different
That makes us the same
That makes us the same

Friends say that we've got nothing in common
In different shoes but it's the same ground we're walking on
Everything that is different is still,
{still talking under siege}, but that won't pull us apart

You say you love me for all that i'm not
And i still love you for all that you are

Who says that opposites don't attract
If you say this then i'll always say that
Who says that opposites don't attract
If black is white, and white is black
Then it's the fact we're both different
That makes us the same

But we always
Find ourselves
In the middle
Oh i don't blame you for all that you're not
For all that you are is so much more than good enough

Who said that opposites don't attract
If you say this then i'll always say that
Who said that opposites don't attract
You and me, me and you
Yeah, it's the fact that we're different
Yeah, it's the fact that we're different
That makes us the same

I'll never ask you to change


11.Much Change Too Soon

Much change too soon
Under the sign of the cross, time moves
Indulge me, will you protect me
Lets swim out to the past
And drown in moments that last
Will i be beatiful to you
Will you save me, will you protect me
Come to the waters edge
Where you can draw your cirlces
Around me, around me

Much change too soon
Even the dawn chorus changed her tune
Indulge me, will you protect me
From the passing of time
Let all our years pour like wine
Will i be beautiful to you
So then when we stand together,
Three decades on
Will you breathe your life into me
Under the yes of heaven, can we
Make time stand still
The evergreen's fading, as time turns her
Pages
Everything's changing but me, me

It is always the same
There's nothing left but remains
Still, will i be beautful to you
Indulge me, oh protect me
I know there's always a risk
Time has a deadly french kiss
So come to the waters edge
Where you can draw your circles
Around me, around me

Much change too soon
I often wonder why its so
Watch over me
Stay, the years with me...
Oh come to my water's edge
Will you come to my water's edge

Much change too soon
Water's edge, the water's edge
Come to the water
With me
Much change too soon.
