1.Intro


2.Are You Happy Now?

Now, don't just walk away
Pretending everything's ok
And you don't care about me
And I know there's just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care... yeah,
yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take,
And left with an empty plate
And you don't care about it, yeah.
And I, I've given up this game
I'm leaving you with all the blame cause I don't care, yeah,
yeah yeah,

Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you're happy now, oohh oohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
Are you happy now?

Do you have everything you want?
You can get up and give everything you've got
You can't run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye?
and tell me that you're happy now, oohh oohhh
come on tell it to my face or have i been erased,
are you happy now? yeah ...

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I've had that all I can take
And I'm about to break
Cause I'm happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Are you happy now?


3.Find My Way Back(To You)

I used to get away with so much
Now I can't get away
I even thought that it was simple
To say the things I wanted to say

And you told me
Everything I wanted to hear
And you sold me
Now I don't know how I should feel
I should know me
And baby you would think I'd know better, oh ohh, yeah

I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to get
And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me

What if I said what I was thinking
What if that says too much
When everybody's got a reason
I feel like giving up

And you told me
Everything I wanted to hear
And you sold me
Now I don't know how I should feel
I should know me
And baby you would think I'd know better?oh woo

And I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to get
And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me
Until you find your way back to me
Oh until you find your way back to me

I used to get away with so much
I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to get
And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me?yeah?ho whoo oh?yeah?oh

And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me?oh
I used to get away with so much


4.Empty Handed

Here I am, take me
It's easier to give in?no oo woo oo woo oo o
Some people mistake me
They only hear what they want to hear

If you're losing, say 'forgive me'
I just can't keep pretending
I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna pray
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be?ho woo

There's a prison by the window
It lets the light leak in?no oo woo oo woo oo o
I wish you would let me
You feel the water but do you swim?mm mm oh oo oh oo woo oo oh
And it's only me, empty handed
With a childish grin, and a camera

I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna pray
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be?ho woo woo
How it's supposed to be

La da, n da, n da n da n da
La da, n da, n da n da aye, aye
La da n da n da n da aye aye
La da n da n da

La da, n da, n da n da n da
La da, n da, n da n da aye, aye
La da n da n da n da aye aye
La da n da n da

Well I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna pray
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be

How it's supposed to be
Tell me how it's supposed to be
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how it's supposed to be
Ohh oo woo ho oo oh, ho oo woo ho oo woo
Only one, the only one who's drowning in their misery

'Cause I'm packing my bags
'Cause I'm packing my bags
And I won't be back
Yeah eh yeah
Packing my bags 'cause I don't want to be?Ohh oo woo, yeah eh
yeah


5.Tuesday Morning

I remember,
Stormy weather,
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me,
Content with walking,
So unaware of the world

Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go

Tuesday morning,
In the dark
I was finding out,
Who you are?oh

I took your picture,
While you were sleeping,
Then I pased around the room
If I had known then,
That, these things happen,
Would they have happened with you? Ho ohh

Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go

Tuesday morning,
In the dark
I was finding out,
Who I was
And if you turned around to see me,
And I was gone?oh oo woo
Should have looked outside your window
'Cause the sun was coming up?ho oo woo
The sun was coming up?oh ho oo woo, ho

Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Tuesday morning,
In the dark
We were finding out,
Who we are

Tuesday morning,
In the dark?oh, oh
We were finding out,
Who we are, who we are?ho woo oo oh?ho woo oo oh
Who we are, who we are?ho, woo oo oh
Who we are


6.One of These Days

I didn't notice
But I didn't care
I tried being honest
But that left me nowhere

I watched the station
Saw the bus pulling through
And I don't mind saying
A part of me left with you

So one of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
'Cause that's where I'm homeh

Did I make you nervous?
Did I ask for too much?
Was I not deserving?
One second of your touch

And one of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
'Cause that's where I'm home?oh

What would you do if I could have you?
What if I could
And left you feel everything and think yeah
One thought denies
Wouldn't that be nice

And one of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you


7.Love Me Like That

Well you sold my heart
And I'll get it back
But look me in the eye babe
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that?oh oh

Well I walk this world
Five times or more
And after all this walking babe
You still got me crawling on the floor
Crawling on the floor

And I know this world keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh oh

Well I thought you'd listen
But I'm shattered like broken glass
But I thought that we'd be different babe
Yeah I thought that we would last
Yeah I thought that we would last

And I know this world keeps on spinning
Every minute that you're in it
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like thath oh

Love me or leave me baby don't
Lead me on
With nothing like yours believe me I'm better off
I'm better off alone
Oh ooh

Well I was your Gypsy
Throwing diamonds at your feet
Drifting 'round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need
Everything you need

And I know this world keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning and yearning
How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's ok
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh oh

How can you just break away
Why can't you find the words to say
Love is something you work at
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that
Why you love me like that oh

How can you grow up so when
Look at what you lost then
Now everything in shades of grey
Now you're pushing me away
Say all the things you need to say
Thought we were going all the way
Play all the games you wanna play

So that we just stay away


8.Desperately

Oo... oo wo oh?yeah eh yeah

There's something 'bout the way
You looked at me
Made me think for a moment that
Maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And It's strange that things change when I've been wanting you
so desperately

Oh,why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you
so desperately

You looked my way, you said 'you frustrate me'
Like you're thinking of lines and times when you and I were you
and me
You took our chance out on the street
Well you missed my chance and chances are
It won't be coming back to me

Oh, I cannot ignore it,
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you
so desperately
So desperately... ho

Oh, I cannot ignore it,
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you
so desperately
I want you so desperately, oo oo oo

I keep giving in,
But I should know better
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
So desperately
I want you so desperately


9.Breathe

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
And it's keeping you away

So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I don't want to waste another moment
Saying things we never meant to say

And I take it just a little bit
I hold my breath and count to ten
I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe let it fill the space between
Oh no, everything is all right
Breathe every little piece of me
You'll see everything is all right
If I just breathe

Well the talks are overrated
Am I saying how you feel?
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real

And I get you just a little time
I wonder if you realize
I've been waiting 'til I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe let it fill the space between
Oh no, everything is all right
Breathe every little piece of me
You'll see everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe 'til I whisper in the dark
Oh can you hear me?
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe let it fill the space between
Oh no, everything is all right
Breathe every little piece of me
You'll see everything is all right
Everything is alright
If I just breathe?breathe

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain


10.Where Are You Now?

Maybe I'd do better on my own
No one ever seems to understand me
It's easier for me to be alone
There's still a piece of me that feels so empty

I've been all over the world
I've seen a million different places
Back through the crowds and all the faces
I'm still out there looking for you?ho oh

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Do I have to wait forever?

I write about the things I'll never know
I can find a moment just to a slow down
It makes me think I'll never have the chance
To figure out?what it's all about
So tell me?what it's all about?'cause

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Do I have to wait forever?
Yeah, la da da da da n da da da?oo oo oo

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
And I still don't know

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
What is the chance?
Of finding you out there
Do I have to wait, do I have to wait, do I have to wait forever?
Oo oo oo oo oo oo?yeah eh yeah


11.Hotel Paper

I write, mostly on hotel paper
Knowing, that my thoughts will never leave this room
I'd be out of line telling you, leave her
So why lie, I'm only surrounded by you?oh oo
By you?oh

Lately, I can't be happy for no one
They think I need some time to myself?oh oh
I try to smile but I can't remember
I know tomorrow there'll be nothing else?oh

And I wanted to be
Giving you everything
She's not giving
And I wanted to see
Because you didn't believe what I'd been hearing?oo oo?oh oh

You turned out to be more than I bargained for
And I can tell that you need to get away
Forgive me if I meant that I'd love to love you
We both realized it way too late

And I wanted to be
Giving you everything
She's not giving
And I wanted to see
Because you didn't believe what I'd been hearing
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean

I write mostly on hotel paper


12.Till I Get Over You

Every time I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do
Oh you got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun
And the sky's so blue
Oh we both know
That we want it
But we both know
You left me no choice

Chaque fois que tu t'en vas
You just bring me down
Je pretends que tout va bien
So I count my tears
Till I get over you

Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it is like
Oho wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never try

We both know
We can't change it
But we both now
We'll just have to face it

Chaque fois que tu t'en vas
You just bring me down
Je pretends que tout va bien
So I'm counting my tears
Till I get over you

If only I
Could give you up
Would I want to let you out?
From this soulbuzz baby

We both know
That we want it
But we both know
You left me no choice
Chaque fois que tu t'en vas
You just bring me down
Je pretends que tout va bien
Oh so I'm counting my tears
Till I get over you.... oh
Chaque fois que tu t'en vas
Je pretends que tout va bien
Oh we both know
That I'm not over you
La de la de aye ay

I'm not over you


13.It's You

If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
And it's you-ou-oooou
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you-ou-oooou
Oh it's you

If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
To kiss your quiet mouth
And trace the steps with my finger tips
And it's you-ou-ooou
The light changes when you're in the room

Oh it's you-ou-oooou
Oh it's you
Oh it's you-ou

Oh it's you-ou-oooou
Oh it's you
Oh oh it's you
Oh it's you-ou
