The Best

Sixpence None The Richer The Best Lyrics
1.Loser Like Me

You know I need
All the love you give A loser like me
I just don't know why you would
Give it for free When I don' deserve it
You know now
I wander why
You wouldn't want to charge A higher price
You take a loss and still give Another try
Knowing that some day we'll find each other always saying

Your love is fire And I am the wood
That burns inside
The warmth of your blood
Without you I'd fade away Aloser just like me

You know I try
To give you all the love I hold inside
I have a hard time time when I can't say it right
But I'll aee the day when I will find the words and say them

Your love is fire And I am the wood
That burns inside
The warmth of your blood
Without you and the flame you keep inside
I'd fade into the night I'll always say them

Your love is fire And I am the wood
That burns inside
The warmth of your blood
Without you and the flame you keep inside
I'd fade into the night Aloser just like me

You know I need
All the love you give A loser like me
I just don't know why you would
Give it for free


2.Us


3.Too Far Gone

I built these walls with blinders on my eyes
Brick by brick and now I realize
I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out to reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Why do I do this to myself
There is really no one else to blame
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone to be saved
Or am I just too far gone to be saved

I take my falls, hands pulled behind my back
You made the knot and didn't leave much slack
I'm tied up I'm tied down
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
So could you reach down and break my will
Or am I just too far gone to be saved
Or am I just too far gone to be saved

I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out to reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
I'm tied up I'm tied down
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone
You'll never be too far gone
You'll never be too far goneto be saved


4.The Ground You Shook

I never knew you but you seemed to be, to me, a great man
wise as a serpent and gentle as a hillside white lamb
we heard your voice
we saw your choice
it's written on us

I wish I'd know you and learned the way to walk the narrow path
but I am grateful that you left your words to follow like a map
within the dark land you gave us a lamp
by which we might see

we heard your voice
we saw your choice
it's written on us

and we walk the ground that you shook
we read the words in your book
and learn how to break our own ground
all the lambs will roar beautiful sounds


5.Kiss Me

Lyrics:Matt Slocum
Music:Matt Slocum

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling, so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling, so kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling, so kiss me

So kiss me
So kiss me


6.Breathe your name

It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same

Is it all inside my head
Is it all inside my head
I view the list
And take my pick
I view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine

But you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you moved my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

So many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the plot
to find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
The part of you
That's part of me
We'll never die
We'll never leave
And it's nobody else's but mine

You are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

You'll view the list
And take your pick
You'll view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but yours

And you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name

'Cause you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name


7.Melody of you

Lyrics:Matt Slocum
Music:Matt Slocum

You're a painting
With symbols deep a symphony
Soft as it shifts to dark beneath
A poem that flows caressing my skin
In all of these things
You reside and
I want to flow from the pen, bow and brush,
Then paper, string
And canvas touch with ink
And the air to dust your light
From morning 'til the black of night

Chorus
This is my call I belong to you
This is my call to sing the melody of you
This is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else

You're the scent of an unfound bloom
A simple tune, I only write variations to
A drink that will knock me
Down on the floor
A key that will unlock the door
Where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
Then beckons me weave notes in between
A bow and a string
A tap and a glass
You pour me 'til the day has passed

Chorus


8.Dancing Queen

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

You can dance
You can live
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen


9.Don't Dream It's Over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win


10.There She Goes

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name,
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes
There she goes


11.I Need Love

I left my conscience like a crying child
Locked the door behind me put the pain on file
Broken like a window i see my blindness now

I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need god
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love

Driving into town tired and depressed
Like a flare the streetlight bursts into an s.o.s.
Peace comes to my rescue and i don't know what it means
I need love


12.I Just Wasn't Made For These Times

Lyrics:Brian Wilson/Tony Asher
Music:Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

I keep looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind

They say I got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found

Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
What's it all about

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
(I guess I just wasn't made for these times)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
(I guess I just wasn't made for these times)


13.Breathe

Take my sorrow and my sin
I will run into your arms again
Hold me father
Once again my tears are dried
By your perfect love that's river-wide
Over-flowing
As I stand on it's bank
With my arms overhead
I am overcome
As I breathe
The air of heaven
Drawing in your fragrance
When I breathe
I feel your fullness come alive
Inside of me
You're the breath that I breathe
Covered by the evening sky
I turn my gaze to where your kingdom lies
Deep inside me
A silent whisper in my mind
Sweet surrender to your love divine
Peace enfolding
In the stillness I empty my soul
And your healing presence flows
As I breathe
The air of heaven
Drawing in your fragrance
When I breathe
I feel your fullness come alive
Inside of me
You're the breath that I breathe
It's taking hold
It's second nature when I
Savor
When I
Savor

You

As I breathe


14.Brighten My Heart(From Exodus)

My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains.
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog.
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds.
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey.

Chorus
Help me open my heart to you,
Help me open my heart to you,
Help me open my heart to you, oh jesus.
It's what i long to do.

My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains.
(lord, brighten my heart)
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog.
(lord, lighten my soul)
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds.
(lord, still my thoughts)
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey.
(lord relax my body)

(repeat chorus)


15.Angeltread

Crickets rhythmically sing
Their mournful melodies
A monotone by request
But they fail, they fail
To soothe the mess

Hands rhythmically grope
The sheets again for you
And off-rhythm the time slows
To make moments eternal
Moments eternal

Is this some kind of holy test
To stitch the treadmarks off my chest
To get up and walk outside my head
On a holy search for angeltread

Now i've lost my fear
So i pray that you come near
With a million sparkly lights
And help me, help me through the night

The milky prints of spirits near
I pray that they have lost their fear
A million wisps of sparkly light
Weaving through the walls...


16.Within A Room Somewhere(Radio Edit)

I breathe the mist
Floating about the stars
I can caress
With velvet hands
I breathe the mist
Floating within, without this pen
This pen between my fingers

Messiah
I know you are there
Within, without me
Holding me
Messiah
I know you are there
Catching, carrying
This beautiful mess

Escape the pain
Within a room somewhere
Escape the pain
So deep inside the soul
I have no key
No map to find


17.Trust

trust in the lord with all your heart
lean not on your own understanding
in all of your ways acknowledge him
and he will make you paths straight
don't worry about tomorrow
he's got it under control
just trust in the lord with all of your heart
and he will carry you through

lord sometimes it gets so tough
to keep my eyes on you
when thinks are going rough
but when i turn my eyes up to the sky
and i hear your voice is says to me

so child do not be weary with the troubles
of this world i have overcome

Oh Kiss me Lead me

So kiss me
