Mandy Moore Amanda Leigh Lyrics
1.Merrimack River

Restless to begin, a wave comes crashing in
The band on stage is tuning, jacarandas are blooming
Your face sketched in my dreams, puts my mind at ease
Beneath the water frozen
The Merrimack river is flowing
Thunder rolling over

Don't say you're not amazed, when you know you are
Don't say you're not afraid, when you know you are
Rows of boys and girls, run out to seek the world
Candy coated promise
Just out of reach when you want it

Give me something sweet, bring me to the brink
I'll leave without hesitation
To a world without limitation
Rock me patient, slowly

Don't say you're not amazed, when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid, when you know you are
You know you are


A world that moves too fast
A mouth of broken glass
It may not seem so painful
By january, the rain will swallow
Change will follow

Don't say you're not amazed, when you know you are
Don't say you're not afraid, when you know you are
You know you are, I know you are


2.Fern Dell

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night
Asleep with you, dull dog bark and no bite
In love with a fool feasting for my eyes

Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

Follow the kicks and punches with the rest
Rearrange the furniture, hoping it would make more sense
It didn't make a difference, it only made a bigger mess
Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well


Here he comes along
Fresh in from the kill
Blood on the sheet
Lined up on my windowsill
Suddenly, hollow me
Regrettably you never will

Fern Dell, Fern Dell
Oh Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well


3.I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week

I'll make this painless.
Try to be sweet.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

Squeeze life out of you.
Wrap you in sheets.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

I could break your heart any day of the week.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I'll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that's another story.
It gets a little boring.
I hold on to you.
You hold on me
I could break your heart any day of the week.

Let the walls talk.
Let the four walls creek.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
Those calendar girls-- they got nothing of me.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

I could break your heart any day of the week.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I'll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that's another story.
It gets a little boring.

Yeah-yeah.
Yeah-yeah.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I'll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that's another story.
It gets a little boring.

I could turn you on.
I could turn the other cheek.
And it would break your heart any day of the week.
And it would break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.


4.Pocket Philosopher

Now I'm walking on my own two feet
The sun is shinning
My shadow's stretched across the street
And I meet the eyes of a stranger
I can't quite place him
And I wouldn't replace
For a second, or a minute
Or an hour of the day

I turned the conner, I was feeling good
All the birds were humming, the bees are buzzing
In the trees, all the leaves looked a little bit greener
And the air felt cleaner
Yeah, I must been dreaming
For a second, or a minute
And maybe that's ok

Hey, come on let's play a song
Or two or three or four
Or five if you want more
Well, maybe you got somewhere else to be

Be whoever you want to be
Whatever you want to see
Whatever you want to see

I was awoken by the morning light
My heart felt heavy, I wasn't quite ready
To wake up or make up another good reason
One that is pleasing, in a world without seasons
Cause the truth isn't pretty
When it hits you in the face

Hey, come on let's play a song
Or two or three or four
Or five if you want more
Well, maybe you got somewhere

Hey, come on let's play a song
Or two or three or four
Or five if you want more
Or maybe I'll just sing myself back to sleep


5.Song About Home


6.Everblue

Love doesnt come alone, now does it?
Present perfect tense
So you made yourself a little world
Where even strangers make more sense
I play the pain upright, straight ahead
And with the beat

You can ease yourself into the light
Or keep that record on repeat

What if I loved you
what if I loved you
what if I loved you
Everblue, Everblue

Following the sleepless hours
Unsubtle dreams will make you cave
You can paint them all your brilliant colors
Just dont fall off into the deep

Happiness is not a burden
oh how the pendulum will swing
I have felt the ground
I've seen the seeds
Out of which grew golden wings

what if I loved you
what if I loved you
what if I loved you
Everblue, Everblue

High above the stars are dancing
To a song one bird is singing
And it's you my Everblue

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
You know I love you
My Everblue, Everblue
Everblue Everblue....

8.Love To Love Me Back

I could handle your tortured heart
Even piece it together,
whenever you ripped it apart
But I can never be that kind of girl
Who absorbs that kind of suffering
And turns it into some kind of verb

I want love to love me back
I want to two way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back

A sky full of winter stars
Light up the streets of Manhattan
Wrapping linen in empty curls
Stretching in the summer sun
It's all out in the open California highway
I don't wanna run

I want love to love me back
I want to two way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back


Listening to a distant train
I wonder where it's going
Maybe where it's coming from
It's all the same
Took some time to find my place
Where the crows start crying
I don't want somebody filling up these days

I want love to love me back
I want to two way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation

I want love to love me back
I want to two way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back
(Love)


9.Indian Summer

I want your number, so we can talk
I can't remember the last time I felt so lost
You changed your address, you changed your name
You were an indian summer, I'm still the same
Won't you tell me what to say
You were always good that way


Remember singing the whole way home
About an indian summer so long ago
Won't you tell me what you know
'Cause I don't know where to go
'Cause I don't know where to go


10.Nothing Everything


11.Bug

What would happen if I flew to San Francisco
Wouldn't make much sense
From the outside looking in
Coming around again

All the answers
Far too many questions
All the things we said
Never really put to bed
Coming around again

You know I love you
What am I supposed to do
You're so far away
I stay on track
You're all over the map
come back to L.A.


You know I love you
What am I supposed to do
I've been here before
I stay on track
You're all over the map
Come back to New York

Is this the only way for us to communicate
I put it in a song
Didn't really take too long
Coming back around
Coming back around
