1.A Thousand Miles
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause every thing's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't wanna let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight
2.Twilight
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
I was stained, with a role
In a day not my own
But as you walked into my life
You showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see
With such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high 'cause I've seen
'Cause I've seen, twilight
Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face
Couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold
What I could hold
But you taught me I could change
Whatever came within these shallow days
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen
'Cause I've seen
As the sun shines through
It pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue
And leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind
To all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much
To be revealed
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high 'cause I've seen
'Cause I've seen, twilight
I was stained, by a role
In a day not my own
But as you walked into my life
You showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see
With such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high 'cause I've seen
'Cause I've seen, twilight
3.Ordinary Day
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star he shines
And he said, 'Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand？'
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words couldn't heal that
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said, 'Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right
In the palm of your hand'
In the palm of your hand
Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee, can't you see？
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head？
Didn't he ask if I would come along？
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal
And he said, 'Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand'
In the palm of your hand, in the palm of your hand
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
4.Unsung
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Well I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
I am melting away
I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Things are goin' crazy and I'm not sure who to blame
Everything is changing and I do not feel the same
I'm slippin' through the cracks of floors, I thought that were
strong
I'm tryin' to find a place where I can feel like I belong
Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
And I am melting away
I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung
Yeah yeah, as my song goes unsung, yeah yeah yeah
If I could be the lesson that you learn, you learn if only
I could be the last one that love burns, it burns, if only
I could be the lesson that you learn, you learn if only
I could be the last one that love burns, it burns, yeah yeah
If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
And I am melting away
I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung
Yeah yeah, as my song goes unsung, yeah yeah
As my song goes unsung, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
5.Pretty Baby
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see？
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' 'round
Oh pretty baby
And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that you'll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So how's it you that makes me better
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see？
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin'
Can you hold me and never let go
When you touch me it is me that you own
Pretty baby, oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again
Oh pretty baby
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see？
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' 'round
Pretty baby why can't you see？
Pretty baby don't you leave me
Pretty baby why can't you see？
Pretty baby don't you leave me
Oh pretty baby, my pretty baby
Oh my pretty baby don't you leave me
6.Rinse
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons that she will never
understand
Until she knows that the heart of a woman
Will never be found in the arms of a man
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold anybody this way
She must rinse this all away
And she can't love him
And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed
What could be worse than leaving something behind？
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds, if only he was mine
She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight
She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
7.Sway
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
My heart, your hands, gentle my friend
Break me neatly, numb me sweetly
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Come down heavy, try and steady
Precious ladies, love you, love me
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
And I'll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain
8.Paradise
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight, to fight
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light, her light
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright, alright
Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
Don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
Don't you try to hold it in, you hold it in
One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
9.Prince
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
And if I wait for you now
Would you come, would you run？
Would you bring it back around？
Oh, baby how
And if I wait for you now
Would you come, would you run？
Would you bring it back around？
Oh, baby how
Willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
If it all went away, nothin' left to say
Oh, and you fight it all when you lay down
At the hand of your God, oh, could you see the light
Oh, my prince can't you see what's been found？
Willing and able to run
Willing and able to come
Willing and able to run
I'm willing, I am willing, willing, willing
Willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run

I'm able to come
And if I wait for you now
Would you come, would you run？
Would you bring it back around？
Don't, baby how
If I wait for you now
Would you come, would you run？
Would you bring it back around？
No, baby how
Willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run
I am willing and able
I'm able to come
10.Paint It Black
Lyricist：Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they are painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it's heading into black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted, painted
Painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted, painted
Painted black, oh baby
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
Oh black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
Painted, painted, painted black oh baby
Painted, painted, painted black
11.Wanted
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true
I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted
As you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
And don't pretend you feel what I feel for you
Live illusion and I am real
I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted
I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say
I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and
I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted
I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted
More than you'll love, more than you'll hate
More than you'll hold, more than wanted
More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish
More than you'll have, more than wanted
12.More Than Wanted
I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me, all that is true
And I am more than you will see
And I am more than you will need
And I am more than you will see
More than wanted
And as you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
And dont pretend you feel what I feel
For you live illusion and im real
And I am more than you will see
And I am more than you will need
And I am more than you will see
More than wanted
And I am more than you will see
And I am more than you will need
And I am more than you will see
More than wanted
And I know, I know
You like the way you feel when I play

13.Ordinary Day (Live Version)
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin' to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
And if we walk now we will divide and conquer this land
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
And if we walk now we will divide and conquer this land
divide and conquer this land
divide and conquer this land
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
And you must be.
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head？
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as i looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
And if we walk now we will divide and conquer this land
divide and conquer this land
divide and conquer this land
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
14.Red Ditty
If in the middle of a vital conversation
I chose not to listen
Would that be okay？
And if in the middle of a heated confrontation
I chose not to
Would that be okay？
And if I love you without reference to occasion
Would you run away
Or would that be okay？
And if in the middle of this final declaration
I walked away, what would you say？
Would that be okay？
15.Swindler
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
I've been mistaken
You've swindled once again
Now there's no question
I, I was wrong
And now I stand alone
Just studded in your throne
Your true colors shone
You don't belong
And now I'm lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in？
But now it's clear
I went along for the ride, ow, a-a-aow
Hey, mister, merry man
I know you'll come again
Till you find just what
You're lookin' for
And if I'm your little lamb
Why'd you leave again？
Ah, no, I'd bet
You'd stay for more
And now I'm lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in？
But now it's clear
I went along for the ride, ow, a-a-aow
And now I'm findin' out
You were nothin' 'bout
Ah, what I thought you were
And now I understand
Just how you work your plan
First you're warm
And then you just burn
And now I'm lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in？
But now it's clear
I went along for the ride, ow, a-a-aow
And now I make my way
Through another day
Ah, 'cause I know better now
You'll run another line
It's someone else's time
But in me you still resound
And now I'm lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in？
But now it's clear
I went along for the ride, ow, a-a-aow
Ow, a-a-a-ow
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
16.Against All Odds
'When You Believe'
'Mircle'
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood
But we are not afraid,
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could
＊There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achive？
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayers so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds, too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here,
With a heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith ＆ speaking words
I never thought I'd say
＊Repeat
(Hebrew lyrcis)
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achive？
When you believe, somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe
You will when you
Believe
17.White Houses
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton, Stephan Douglas Jenkins
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's till the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets in white houses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his cars cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last
It's alright and I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us in white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep in white houses
In white houses
In white houses
18.1000 Miles
Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.
It's always times like these
When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong.
Livin' in your precious memory.
'Cause I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.
I, I, don't wanna let you know
I, I, drown in your memory.
I, I, don't wanna let this go.
I, I, don't.
Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I still need you,
And I still miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
Would pass.. us by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
oh oh
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you.
If I could just hold you....
Tonight.
19.Watch Me Shine
Lyricist：Dino Esposito
Ooh
I'm not your average type of girl, I'm gonna show the world
The strength in me that sometimes they can't see
I'm about to switch my style and soon things may get wild
But I will prove that I can conquer anything
So from my head to toe
I'm taking full control
I'll make it on my own this time
(Watch me shine)
Better watch out, going for the knockout
And I won't stop 'til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
Oh, oh, oh
So get ready, here I come until the job is done
No time to waste, there's nothing stopping me
Oh, but you don't hear me though, so now it's time to show
And prove I'm gonna be the best I can be
So from my head to toe
My mind body and soul
I'm taking full control this time
(So watch me shine)
Better watch out, going for the knockout
And I won't stop 'til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
Ooh, oh, ya, ya
(Oh, ya, ya)
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
Now watch me shine
Better watch out, going for the knockout
And I won't stop 'til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
Now watch me shine
Better watch out, going for the knockout
And I won't stop 'til I'm on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now so you better step back
I'm taking over so watch me shine
Watch me
Ooh, oh, oh
Watch me shine
Watch me
20.Wanted-Ripe Mix
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
I have wandered far and wide
For something, real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true
I am more than you will see
I am more than you will need
I am more than you will see
More than wanted
As you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
Don't pretend you feel what I feel for you
Live illusion and I am real
I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say
I have wandered far and wide
For something, real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and
I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say
More than you'll love, more than you'll hate
More than you'll hold, more than wanted
More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish
More than you'll have, more than wanted
21.In Love With You
Lyricist：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 with it you can't fight love so I won't complain
So why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on
'Cause when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
Without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love, oh
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
And when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
Without you I'm alone and I'd rather be in love, oh
I'd rather be in love with you
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
Oh, oh and when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
'Cause without you I'm alone and I'd rather be in love, oh
I'd rather be in love yes, I'd rather be in love
Ow, I'd rather be in love with you
Feel you holding me
22.Fool Like Me
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say
It's all in the little ways one reveals
Their love's gone away, love's gone away
When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
And now I see a different man rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach and all I'm left with is
Sand in my shoes, sand in my shoes
'Cause fools like me, oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Now I recall that time at the cafe
The thunderstorm outside, words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones, they say you're right
But it's ink on a page, just ink on a page
But fools like me, oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Tick tock the time, distant look grows in your eyes
And fools never ask, afraid what lurks in your mind
I always knew, somehow always knew
I always knew the truth
'Cause fools like me, oh, we never see
'Cause the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breaking, it's breaking, it's breaking
It's gotta break for me to see
At least I can say I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day
23.Annie
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton, Stephan Jenkins
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
A day out from the county I.C.U.
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up til' the moment and I hope that I don't blow
it
And what is it in me that she hears？
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dyin' girl whispers in my ear
Tell me now, can you feel it？
I've been keeping company with a ghost
She comes to me like a piece of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most
Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
The summer dies and it's just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More than life than tryin' to survive, oh Annie
My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the loneliness brings me to tears
The summer dies and it's just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive, oh Annie
Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much when I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive this
And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it？
I can't keep this all to myself
She's elegant and she means it, no
Years for you and I, oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive, oh Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
Watch her as she slips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you
24.Afterglow
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Just when the day start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And there's some words I never told you
The sounds, rings out like the truth
And if you could see, what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free
Wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow
As I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life, that's ours
And if you could see, what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after
Watch the sun, paints an orange sky
Lay me down and feel the day's gone by
Just when the day
Just when the day, ohh
Just when the day, start getting longer
I walk the streets, I never knew
The sun, comes out for you
And if you could see, what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after
'Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow oh, ho
25.Private Radio
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton, Stephan Jenkins
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little
All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head
From you, maybe
And if the silence was a song
Well, it's rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony
And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
When no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here but I am ready, good to go
If I don't win, I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun
Now you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
When no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
Catch me
Not care
Call me later
Morning's risin'
All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody, it's in my head
There's a part of me, no one will never know
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
There's a part of me, no one will ever see
There's a part of me, no one will ever be
My private radio
My private radio
My private radio
26.Half A Week Before The Winter
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
I'm a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs
He sits behind a desk of mahogany
He whispers dreams into my ear
And though I've givin' him his empire
He delivers me my fear
The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look and burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head and know
The streets are mine tonight
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look and burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on, I carry on
We carry on
27.Papa
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Look up
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where you left me
I should have known
By the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe and you got it all up your blue sleeve
Your sleeve, love plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe and you got it all up your blue sleeve
But me
Papa oh papa tonight
Papa oh I'll be alright
Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look up
Look where you left me
I should have known
By the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe and you got it all up your blue sleeve
Your sleeve, love plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe and you got it all up your blue sleeve
But me
Papa oh papa tonight
Papa oh I'll be alright
28.She Floats
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Watching puddles gather rain
There's no better place to lay
She's as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
She's not thinkin' about anything
She floats
She floats
Floats
Wearin' black patent Mary Janes
She steps out into the rain
She's as dry as clear blue skies
Swallowing you whole
God knows secrets though I'm told
She floats
She floats
Floats
Mmm mmm mmm
Ahh ahh ahh
Mmm mmm mmm
(Aaa aaa)
(Aaa aaa)
(Aaa aaa)
(Aaa aaa)
Aah ahh uh
She's as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
She's not thinkin', she's listening
She floats
She floats
Floats
Floats
She floats
She floats
Floats
29.The Wreckage
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy
The rhythm, rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights coming at me
I can't help but wonder
Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair and
Ripping through the scenery of the wreckage
Is my secret need
Uhh uhh, uhh uhh, uhh uhh
Ahh ahh, uh uhh uhh
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy, uh
30.A Thousand Miles (Interlude)
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memories
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't want to let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't want to let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by？
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, if I could just hold you tonight
31.Wishin' And Hopin'
Lyricist：Burt Bacharach, Hal David
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms

32.Where The Streets Have No Name
Lyricist：Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Paul Hewson, Larry Jr Mullen
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you, it's all I can do
The city's a-flood and our love it turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, we're trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building then burning down love, we're burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you, it's all I can do
33.Vanessa Carlton - Ordinary Day
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday you find just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star he shines
And he said, take my hand, live while you can
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal
As I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And to know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said, take my hand, live while you can
And don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
Please come with me, see what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee can you see
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head？
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal
And he said, he my take my hand, live while you can
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
Right in the palm of your hand
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
34.All I Ask
Lyricist：Vanessa Carlton
Fumbling down a road lined with signs
It's obvious I'm in the wrong direction
And I won't stop now you know I feel fine
Just looking for some affection
All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
I figure it won't be long it won't be hard
I've just got to get my feet back on the ground
Just got a hold of some unlucky cards
And I have yet to make another round
All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
No one lent a hand, no one laid a look upon me
Invisible to everything but blame
No one cared to tell, no one dared to believe in anything
And left me to drown in this place
All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
35.Big Yellow Taxi
Lyricist：Mitchell Joni
Hey paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not？
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door sway
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot
I don't wanna give it, why you wanna give it？
Why you wanna givin' it all away？
Hey, hey, hey, now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it, 'cause you're givin' it all away, no no
I don't wanna give it, why you wanna give it？
Why you wanna givin' it all away？
'Cause you're givin' it all givin' it all away yeah yeah
'Cause you're givin' it all away
Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
La, la, la, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, nah
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot
