1.Dear Joan
Dear joan
I e almost forgotten, the pane in the window
Blue dress in the doorway
Dear joan
Help me remember, the face i forget
And the traps that i e sprung
I guess i e grown tired, it just what expected of me
To tear your heart from the inside to the outside
You know i was wired, i just couldn help it
The hundred thousand times i hurt you
Chorus：
Dear joan, i wanted to say
That i sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well i e wanted more from this
Than anything i e ever known
Dear joan
Dear joan
Your face has a brightness that i e never seen
In the years that i e known you
Dear joan
I pick up the pieces, but some scattered too far
You say they flew when i kicked them
I know you believed when i said it was over
You stood by me patiently waiting and broading
So deeply in love with every face that i e shown
(chorus)
Once i forgive, twice i a fool, three times i wrapped my hands
around your neck
While you e sleeping, you e quietly sleeping, sleeping and
dreaming
Dear joan
Don walk out the doorway
Because if you did
I believe i could honestly kill you
(chorus) x 2
2.Dizzy
And outside...the sky is falling
We were dodging raindrops, staying dry
And inside, i never gave a damn 'bout those outside people
anyway
And it hurt me, they don't even know i am
And inside...there no labels
And inside, i try i try i try, try to clear my head
And outside...the rain is drying
And inside, we're dying
Cause in here, i staring at the rings my coffee cup has made on
the table
And in here, i know i know i know, that this is as good as it
gets
And in time i want to be the one that talks about the other hand
They want you now, count the cracks on the wall
Until it time to lay my head
And inside...i playing with shadows
And inside, i know i know i know, that i feel this way all
day...all day
And outside, there hope for trying, and inside i dying
You walk before me, and lord knows i can follow
You walk behind me and i don think i can lead
You walk around me, please don walk around me cause you know how
dizzy i get
3.Forever December
rob thomas, jay stanley, brian yale and john goff
I reach within my isolation, i harbor it, i honor it
You say you'd like to see me closer, of course you would, you
have no choice
And i cry cause the weather has gotten to me
And i laugh at the people that i can't be all their lives silly
pictures
Chorus：
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
Baby's getting older, baby getting older
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
You build the wall i'll build the fountain, we'll wrestle it,
we'll conquer it
I think we'll live to see the mountain, of course we will we
have no choice
And i cry cause the weather has gotten to me
And i laugh at the people that i can't be all their lives silly
pictures
Repeat chorus
(one version)
And i can remember forever december
The center of dying, the heart of the pain
The rose in the bottle, the thorns in the bottom
The stars surround me, the cold astounds me
And i cry cause the weather has gotten to me
And i laugh at the people that i can't be all their lives pretty
pictures
(another version)
And it won't take long, we both knew this
Well i wasn't quite prepared
For my center of dying, the heart of your pain
All my words get lost and i can't speak
Got my head stripped down, well i get weak
And the words fall out like forever december
But soon it won't matter 'cause she won't mean nothin'
Repeat chorus x3
4.Heavy
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving up
When i thought that you were jokin'
Well i'm broken
You've known for a little while
You pass it on and try something else
And hell, you knew that you were the one
You turned on me
＆cause that's the way you heard it was supposed to be
And right away you start thinkin' about
The wrong things, we'll start giving up
Well hell, you know that we're all quitters
Big sinners
So, tell me ＆cause i don't understand
Just how to be more to the right
Ya know, ya know that means so much
You turned on me
Yeah ＆cause i'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy？
So go
You could sell me about anything
And i'll buy because i like your face
And hell you know that i'm a sucker
A little fucker
But tell me it's only me
And i'll tell you it's only you
＆cause only you can make me weep
You turned on me
Yeah, ＆cause i'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy？
When things were heavy
I'm so sick and thin
Thin thin thin
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving up
When i thought that you were jokin'
Well i'm broken
5.Here Comes Horses
Help me to remember girl if you don mind
Cause it feels just like a jester when the music died
Haven seen you lately, but i know that nothings changed
Feeling kinda shaky, but the wounds have healed,
There a crack there in the doorway where the walls have peeled
Well the last you see the sun go down on a clear day
Chorus：
Here comes horses
Yeah there goes the rain
Here goes nothing
Here it comes again
I was thinking i was angry, but i let it go
I was waiting on a miracle, but nothing showed
And they say i knew messiah was at the local bar
Greetings from the homefront, have you heard the news
That daddy bet his paycheck on a horse's shoe
Yeah we won feel that way for a long long time
(chorus)
Yeah can you feel it
Sitting in a taxi at the evenin inn,
I was trying to remember where it was i been and
Baby i e got someplace else to be
I ask you why you come here, you say just because
I guess i could do without it if i knew i was, well
Really doesn matter when you look at me that way
(chorus) x 2
6.High
She had said, don cry
Said it only hurts forever, and all we have is time
And she said, she will never know
So close your eyes, turn down the lights,
And i can start this show
Chorus：
Yeah well i can sleep, so why believe
If the shades are drawn, then she can see
So don look at pride, well there is no other way...no
Don try to make no sense of this scene, it just between caroline
and me
And we keep changing (anyway)
Yeah we can grow like a board on the shore (floor)
She says i restless just a little more time
Well you know damn well she wants to feel this high
Yeah we knew just who we were
Yeah well who we thought we try to be
And who it gonna hurt
Oh but if i said, if i was strong at all
Yeah that i wouldn be with someone else
I know where i bet all
(chorus)
(chorus)
7.Jesus Was An Alien
never survive at your no-go grocery store
And if you believe that boy will sit down and i will
Tell you more
Lee harvey oswald, well you know he had to have known
Charlie manson, only wanted to make his house a home
Chorus：
Jesus was an alien, flying through space
God was an astronaut, who said 'boy, i like your face'
So the story begins...
Girl i love you, well the check is in the mail
Found religion inside myself, i drank the blood, the
Flesh was stale
Reach in your pockets and give us all you can
Know the one that going to heaven, is gonna be the
Richer man
(chorus) x 2
I see ya shakin boy, do ya find it hard to believe
That the one you been living for would cut your wrists
To watch you bleed
Found out the truth is a lie, and it makes you feel
Unwell
Say the church of all mighty god is all we have to
Save us from hell
(chorus) x 2
If you find some error in the lyrics,
Would you please submit your corrections to me？ thank
You.
8.Loss, Strain ＆ Butterflies
he got bad when she got mad
He lowered it one more time and she got even
No one heard a single word
But as the clock ticked from next door i could hear her
breathing
I said 'good morning mr. sun, now i would like you to meet my
friend mr. bomb
(he has a house made out of butterflies)'
Well i can't sleep sometimes but i've been told
It's a lonely condition called growing old.
Let me stumble sometimes...
I'm looking for someone to cling to, yeah...
So what you think about that？
This time, well it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies,
And then it comes right down to me.
Hello, have you been alright？
Did you find a piece of something
Wrapped around the light side of your life
To make you feel better？
Did you get out with your sanity？
Did you save a little something for the people in need？
Did you know with the rain in your pockets, you can change the
weather？
I'm looking for something to cling to, yeah
Girl, what you think about that？
Well this time, yeah it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Then it comes right down to me.
Well this time, this time, yeah it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies.
Hey yeah yeah, come on down to me...
Is this just the total for the wages of our sins？
Have you made yourself a victim in a game that you can't win？
And are we caving in？
Does it all begin with loss and strain and butterflies？
Does it come right down to me, anymore？
Yeah this time, maybe, does it all come down
To loss and strain and butterflies？
Hey yeah yeah, well...
Come on down to me.
9.Paint Me Blue
Oh yeah....oh yeah

My baby saw some happy people yesterday, that i never knew

Help me with my troubles
And what to deuce
And i don feel no aging

Baby won you paint me, won ya paint me blue (repeat 4 x )
10.Smooth
Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisperin' words that will melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My munequita, my spanish harlem mona lisa
You're my reason for reason
But step in my groove
Chorus 1
And if you said
This life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
Chorus 2
An' it's just like the ocean
Under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion
That i get from you
You got the kind of lovin
That can be so smooth
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it
I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a cryin' shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name callin' me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world
So soft and slow turning you round and round
Chorus 1 and chorus 2 repeat
11.Swing
Still don mean nothin
Was written on the concrete
The words weren on my tongue
So we don talk about it
Day nor evenin, fashion or superman
Just little warped people, with little black minds
Chorus：
Well i wasn sure just what to think
Say the lights went out
Somebody, somebody swing
Don wanna, don wanna talk anymore
Somebody swing, don wanna talk no..no
What if we e tainted
Who can we lie to
What if we e dying
Would you just walk around it
(chorus)
Set your balance, keep your head down,
Watch your anger boy, realize you could know
This is balance, look for reason,
This don have to make sense to anybody at all
Then everybody, won you swing
No still don mean nothin
Words written all over the concrete
All over the concrete
Rage gets you out, so you swing
12.Tired
You been talking for an hour
And i swear to god that i can hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up in the waves of conversation, they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me
Chorus 1：
Should i just pack my things and leave
Would i be a bigger man if i
I build a wall around your heart, dare you to come in
I can lie to you, and say i didn mean it
But hurt a funny thing and
It makes you stronger
Chorus 2：
Where all is nothing in moderation
It a dirty feeling, it makes you stronger
Well i believe i just plain tired
There a funny way your lip shakes
When i know that you e been lying and it touches me,
Mmmm....said it comforts me, it comforts me
Well i guess i should be satisfied cause you say you love me
half the time
Well i l settle there, we can build from there, build from there
Would you be happier if i was only half the man i am
You could shout at me, dare me to come in
I can lie to you, and say i didn mean it,
But it really doesn matter when you stop to think about it
(chorus 2)
Chorus 3：
Say the end is coming she don even feel it,
It a strange sensation, i almost happy
Well i believe i just plain tired

Read on baby, what you e gettin in to
It livin on pain, the thing that getting to you
Write my name, painted up my picture
Say it the only thanks i not around (around)
Beaten and battered
Well if my dreams get shattered, then
Pain gives my the right to be unkind
Wait on baby which with some indevotion
I trade a river of tears for just a little emotion
You can curse my name, painted up my picture

Oh well i torn and tattered,
Saw the thoughts in my head be scattered, well
Pain gives my the right to be unkind yeah

Chorus：
Right back to the heart of it
Joan crazy is a sly defense from it
Joan crazy is a place i call my own, when i alone
Read on baby, what you e gettin in to

But it all seems true to you
Say the hell with my name, and say the hell with my picture

Only once got screwy things got scattered by the rain
Pain gives me the right to be unkind
(chorus) x 3

Well all i ever think about is myself
Well anyone else, well they get strung out

I ain't got no room in my heart
Lift up the anchor we'll set it straight, yeah

Well like it's never been broke before yeah by anyone else
