MIchelle Branch The Spirit Room Lyrics
1.Everywhere

Ya
Written:Michelle Branch/John Shanks

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?


2.You Get Me

Written:John Shanks/Shelly Pieken/Abra Moore/Michelle Bran

So Im a little left of center
Im a little out of tune
Some say Im paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
in a crazy mixed up world
I don't care what they're saying
as long as Im your girl
Hey you were on my side
and they, they just roll their eyes

You get me
nobody understands
you come and take the change
(baby) you get me
you look inside my wild mind
never know what you'll find
still you want it all the time
yeah you do- you get me

So what if I see the sunshine
in the pourin' rain
some people think im crazy
but you say its ok
you've seen my secret greaden
where all of my flowers grow
in my imagination
anything goes
I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong

(chorus 3x)


3.All You Wanted

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes I'd take you away

(Chorus)
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cares

I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone

(Chorus)

All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah

(Chorus)

Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone


here
somebody who cares


4.You Set Me Free

Written:Michelle Branch/John Shanks

Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

(Chorus)
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines there in the dark

(Chorus)

When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you

(Chorus)


wings
could see, yeah


5.Something To Sleep To

Written:Michelle Branch/Jenifer Hagio/John Shanks

She's his yellow brick road
Leading him on
And letting him go as far as she lets him go
Going down to nowhere
She puts on her make-up
The same way she did yesterday
Hoping everything's the same
But everything has changed

(Chorus)
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes, I'll still be by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night

He wakes up to the sound
So scared that she's leaving
He wishes she were still asleep next to him
Hoping she will change

(Chorus)

You give me something to sleep to
And all I know is
You give me something to dream to when I'm all alone and blue
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now

(Chorus)


6.Here With Me

Written:Michelle Branch/John Shanks

It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror

I guess that I was blind
Now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone things will never be the same again
There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away
Well, I'm not the same girl you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed

(Chorus)
I know you had to go away
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly just to be a part of something strong and
true
But I was scared and left it all behind

(Chorus)

And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me
Please?

I never will forget that look upon your face
How you turned away and left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you

(Chorus)


7.Sweet Misery

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar, we strummed along, oh

(Chorus)

Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me

I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me
I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while

(Chorus +)
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
Oh, whoa

(Chorus +)
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery

I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar, we strummed along


8.If Only She Knew

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I don't know whose side I'm takin'
But I'm not takin' things too well
I can see inside you're achin'
But is it still too early for me to tell?
I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

(Chorus)
'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa, if only she knew, oh

I try to let it go but I don't know if I can take it
'Cause the way you looked at me
Made me see that I can't really fake it
I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

(Chorus)

I know she loves you and I can't interfere
So I'll just have to sit back and watch my world disappear
Whoa

I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
Oh, I'm still not over you

(Chorus)

If only she knew, oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na.


hardest of times
I'm speaking my mind
same way I do
only she knew
world disappear
yeah


9.I'd Rather Be In Love

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain
'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?

(Chorus)
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you

Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do

(Chorus)
And I feel you holding me

Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough to be loved
And I feel you holding me

(Chorus)

And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh I'd rather be in love with you
And I feel you holding me, oh


10.Goodbye To You

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

Of all the things I've believed in,
I just want to get it over with,
tears form behind my eyes,
but I do not cry,
counting the days that pass me by.
I've been searchin' deep down in my soul,
words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old,
it feels like I'm starting all over again,
The last three years were just pretend,
and I say-

(Chorus)

Goodbye to you,
goodbye to everything I thought I knew,
You were the one I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to.

I still get lost in your eyes,
and it seems that I can't live a day without you,
closing my eyes,
and you chase my thoughts away,
to a place where I am blinded by the light,
but it's not right.

(Chorus)

and it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time,
I want what's yours and I want what's mine,
I want you,
and I'm not giving in this time.

(Chorus 2x)

Oh, oh woah,
and when the stars fall I will lie awake,
you're my shooting star.


loved,
that I tried to hold on to.
same time,


11.Drop In The Ocean

Written:Michelle Branch/Jenifer Hagio/Will Golden/Bernie R

Love took me by the hand
Love took me by surprise
Love led me to you
And love opened up my eyes
And I was drifting away like a drop in the ocean
And now I realize that nothing has been as beautiful
As when I saw heaven's skies
In your eyes
In your eyes
And every time I drift away
I lose myself in you
And now I see I can be me
In everything I do

(Chorus)
'Cause I was feeling as small as a drop in the ocean
And now I realize that nothing has been as beautiful
As when I saw heaven's skies
In your eyes
In your eyes

Love took me by the hand
Love took me by surprise

(Chorus)


12.Second Chances

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

Sometimes we get second chances
And sometimes we never make it past the first
It really makes you wonder why somethings happen when they do
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you

And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight

Sometimes we never see the warning
And the voice in your head tells you not to go
It really makes me wonder why somethings happen when they do
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you

And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight

And when you look its gone its too late to turn around
And it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've
done

And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight
