Ingrid Michaelson  Human Again - Lyrics
1.Fire

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Open heart surgery
That is what you do to me
Cut me up, set me free
That is what you do to me

Now I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
Into you, into you, into you, into you, into you

Heart attack up your sleeve
You can make me believe
I would grow from the ground
After you burn me down

Now I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
Into you, into you, into you, into you, into you
Into you, into you, into you, into you, into you

You burn me up, you burn me up
You burn me up, and I love it
You burn me up, you burn me up
You burn me up, and I love it


Now I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
I'm walking in a fire with you
I'm walking in, walking in a fire
When I walk into you
Into you, you burn me up
You burn me up, you burn me up
And I love it


2.This Is War

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

It's a wonder at all
It's a wonder at all

It's a wonder at all that I'm alive
It's a wonder at all that I'm still standing
It's a wonder at all that I survived the war
Between your, between your heart and mine
Between your, between your heart and mine

I won't surrender
I will fight better
You lock me out and knock me down
And I will find my way around
I won't surrender
This is war, oh

It's a wonder at all that I can see
It's a wonder at all the sky's not falling down
It's a wonder at all that I decide to breathe
Anymore, anymore, anymore

I won't surrender
I will fight better
You lock me out and knock me down
But I will find my way around
I won't surrender

This, this is
This is war, this is war
I will run until I can't run anymore
Someone's got to lose
It's not gonna be this girl

This time, I won't surrender
I will fight better
You lock me out and knock me down
And I will find my way around
I won't surrender
I will fight better
This is, this is war


3.Do It Now

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Sitting in the back of the bus
Talking about nothing, oh, we're talking about us
Watching as the world goes hammering on, hammering on

You say that you got nothing left
There's nothing left in you to find
You're gonna ride it out, gonna wait it out, living to die
You're living to die

No one's gonna wait for you
No one's gonna wait for you

So do it now, do it right now
Don't waste a minute on the darkness and the pity sitting in
your mind
And do it right now, and do it right now

Everything will stop on a dime
Everything will crash into itself in good time
Do you wanna beat your own heart, beat your own heart
Or leave it behind, or leave it behind?

No one's gonna wait for you
No one's gonna wait for you

So do it now, do it right now
Don't waste a minute on the darkness and the pity sitting in
your mind
And do it right now, and do it right now

I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get right out of bed, get out of my
bed
You're gonna stand up, you're gonna stand right up again, stand
right up again
I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get right out of my bed, get out of
my head
You're gonna stand up, you're gonna stand right, you're gonna
stand up
You're gonna stand up

So do it now, do it right now
Don't waste a minute on the darkness and the pity sitting in
your mind
And do it right now, and do it right now
Do it right now


4.I'm Through

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

I'm going out again tonight
The first time in the longest time
He holds the door and holds my hand
But doesn't feel like you

We laugh at all the people in
The restaurant across from us
He talks a lot, but not too much
But doesn't sound like you

It's all because of you that I'm through
It's all because of you that I'm through

I know there'll come a time again
When everything will fit right in
And I won't have to see your face
In strangers on the street

But I would rather feel the sting
Than never to have felt a thing
I'll always know you were the one
To rip me from the ground

It's all because of you that I'm through
It's all because of you that I'm through

It's all because of you that I'm through
It's all because of you that I'm through


5.Blood Brothers

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

If you knew me, would you save that seat for me?
If you knew me, would you finally let me free?
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers

If you loved me, would you hold on to my hand?
If you loved me, would you finally understand?
That we're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers

What you need, what you need, I need too
What you are, what you are, I am too
'Cause we're all the same under a different name
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers

If you knew me, would you lift me from the ground?
If you loved me, would you even hear me make a sound?
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers

What you need, what you need, I need too
What you are, what you are, I am too
'Cause we're all the same under a different name
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers
We're all blood, we're all blood, blood brothers


6.Black And Blue

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Oh, I think I got you figured out
Boy, I think I know what you are all about
Finally, I can finally see you pull the darkness right down over
me
But now I see

Everybody knows that I'm a mess
Everybody knows you stole the heart from out my chest
Every thing you ever said was a lie
You're hiding behind your sweet, your sweet goodbyes

I'm black and blue 'cause I fell for you
You said you never would let me go
Ooh, how could I ever know?
I'm black and blue and in love with you
You said you never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
You never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

Oh, I know I'm never gonna stop
I keep burning time away until I hit the top
One day, I'll wake up and take up to the open skies
And I'll be the one with all the sweet goodbyes

I'm black and blue 'cause I fell for you
You said you never would let me go
Ooh, how could I ever know?
I'm black and blue and in love with you
You said you never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
You never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

Falling, falling, over and over again
I'm always falling, over and over
But I'll get up, I'll make it
I need some time to un-break it
I feel like I'm falling, I'm falling far away from you
It's what I need to do

Black and blue and in love with you
Black and blue and in love with you
You said you never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
You never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
You said you never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
And I'm falling, black and blue
It's what I need to do


7.Ribbons

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

I'm sitting pretty, and I don't know why
I found somebody, said he'd make me fly
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he left me to die
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he left me to die

Told me he'd hold me till there was no more
Told me that he'd love me from the top to the floor
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he went for the door
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he went for the door

And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks

'Cause I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, so damn high in the sky
I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, am I?

You look so pretty in the dark of night
But I'm getting wise in the early light
I can see you falling like a homemade kite
I can see you falling like a homemade kite

You put your Sunday best on for us all
Painting up a promise that you know will fall
Wrap me in your ribbons, tie me to the wall
Wrap me in your ribbons, tie me to the wall

And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
Yeah, all the time he takes are the words that he breaks

'Cause I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, so damn high in the sky
I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, am I?

You walk on everybody, you walk on everyone
You walk right up, and you ask me to dance
You ask me to dance
You ask me to dance, then you walk away

And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks

No, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, so damn high
Oh, I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying
No, I'm not flying, am I?
I'm not flying, am I?


8.How We Love

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

I knew a man who was afraid to love
To lay his heart on the bathroom rug
He drank his coffee in the same old mug
And sat in silence till the world felt numb

Until the day when a girl came by
She had eyes like the rising tide
He felt a sharpness deep inside
The kind of ache that can't be satisfied

We hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
But how we love when it washes our cars
We love to love when it fills up the room
But when it leaves, oh, we're cursing the stars

So he turned to the radio
And he went to a picture show
Tried to find someone else who knows
All the hurt that a heart can hold

She smelled like cinnamon and winter clove
And sparked like firewood inside a stove
Wanted to ask her just to sit and stay
Instead, he watched as she walked away

We hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
But how we love when it washes our cars
We love to love when it fills up the room
But when it leaves, oh, we're cursing the stars

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

We hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
But how we love when it washes our cars
We love to love when it fills up the room
But when it leaves, we're cursing the stars


9.Palm Of Your Hand

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Oh boy, it's over, you got me
You shot me right between the eyes
I'm sober, I'm over the haze of never knowing
If I can still feel what is real
Will someone punch me out?

And oh boy, I know, boy
I need a breakdown
Can you crush me

In the palm of your hand?
The palm of your hand
There's nobody else who can
You know, you crush me
In the palm of your hand

Oh boy, you wake me and shake me
I'll break the bullet in my hand
I attack, but you fight back
The redder the love, the better
You make it all ache
I'm breathing, I'm breathing life again

And oh boy, I know, boy
I need a breakdown
Can you crush me

In the palm of your hand?
The palm of your hand
There's nobody else who can
You know, you crush me
In the palm of your hand
The palm of your hand
There's nobody else who can
You know, you crush me
In the palm of your hand

You make me want to be a human again
Can I be your only human again?
You bring me back
You bring me back in pieces

In the palm of your hand
The palm of your hand
Nobody else who can
You know, you crush me
In the palm of your hand
The palm of your hand
Nobody else who can
You know, you crush me, crush me
In the palm of your hand


10.Ghost

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Do you remember the walls fell
Do you remember the sound that the door made
When you closed it at me
Do you know that I went down to the ground
And landed on both my broken hearted knees
I didn't even cry
Cause pieces of me had already died

I'm a ghost, haunting these halls
Climbing the walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
I'm broken down the middle of my hard heart
You know you make me a ghost

I'm an invisible disaster
I keep trying to walk on my feet
Don't find the sound, the ground
It's like living in a black dream
I keep trying to scream
But my tongue has finally lost it's soul
Tried to say goodbye
To the pieces of me that have already died

I'm a ghost, haunting these halls
Climbing the walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
I'm broken down the middle of my hard heart
You know you make me a ghost

Oh you make me ghost
You make me a ghost
You make me a ghost

I don't cry, I don't try anymore
And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
I'm broken down the middle

I'm a ghost, haunting these halls
Climbing the walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
I'm broken down the middle of my hard heart
You know you make me a ghost


11.In The Sea

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

I feel it in my skin, I feel it through my bones
Your fingertips are falling far from where I know
I try to pin you down but you move like a dream
I want to find you but you dropped me in the sea

In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea
You dropped me
In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

No no don't rescue me
I like the salt water sting
It feels so good to feel
It feels so good just to feel something
In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

You move so softly in the middle of the night
Like a cocoon in sheets you wrap you up so tight
Remember how we used to tangle up and breathe
Now you're so far away you roll me in the sea

In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea
You dropped me
In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

No no don't rescue me
I like the salt water sting
It feels so good to feel
It feels so good just to feel something
In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

Oh oh oh...

No no don't rescue me
I like the salt water sting
It feels so good to feel
It feels so good just to feel something
In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea


12.Keep Warm

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

Eyes on the prize and I can't capsize this time
'cause there's somebody else in my boat
Used to live alone in a tomb I made my own
But now I've gone and given up my coat

And it's cold outside but I'm just fine
You are mine to keep warm

Down down down I go
On a road that I don't know
And I ain't got a thing in my bag
Some things you can not plan
Like your hand in mine
Just put your hand in mine

And it's cold outside but I'm just fine
You are mine to keep warm
Yeah it's cold outside but I'm just fine
You are mine to keep warm

Sables and wine till the end of time you give me much more than
that
Diamond rings and beautiful things
Oh you give me much more than that
When you smile

You are mine to keep warm
And it's cold outside but I'm just fine
You are mine to keep warm


13.End Of The World

Lyricist:Ingrid Michaelson
Writer(s):Ingrid Michaelson

When the sun runs out
And there's no one to save you
Will you go to our favorite place
And try to say goodbye?

At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me, will you find me?
At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me so that we can go
Together, together, together

When the moon breaks up
And the tide goes out of control
Will you find me in the water
And swim me to the stars?

At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me, will you find me?
At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me so that we can go
Together, together, together
Together, together, together
Together, together, together

When the sun breaks up
And there's no one to save you

At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me, will you find me?
At the end of, at the end of the world
Will you find me, will you find me?
Will you find me, will you find me?
