Drive The Car lyrics - Meredith Brooks
I like it when we get inside the car
I like it when we drive, I don't care how far
Mom buckles up and she turns on the radio
I just sit back and stare out the window
I watch the trees and all the people go by
Sometimes I feel like I'm flying
When we drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
And I hear beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah, yeah
I like it when the wind is in my face
Up on fake stereos roll over the place
It makes me happy when my mom hits the gas
Oh, how I wish this ride would always last
I watch the dogs and all the drugs go by
Sometimes I feel like I'm flying
When we drive a car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive in the car
I love to drive in the car
Beep-beep, beep-beep, a beep-beep, yeah
A beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah, yeah
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
I hear beep-beep, a beep-beep, a beep-beep, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep, do do do do do do
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
Drive the car
When we're driving in the car
If I Could Be... lyrics - Meredith Brooks
If I could be a little birdie
I would fly so high I'd not be hurt
When I got tired I'd hang out in a tree
If I could be a fish that swam
I would use my fins and go so fast
Nobody would ever catch me
But I really wouldn't wanna be
Anything else but me
I only wanna pretend in my daydreams
That I could be an alligator
They'd all jump back, I'd say see ya later
And I would have the pond just for me
If I could be a big white dog
I would bark and jump on everyone
And they'd all pat my head and give me treats
But I really wouldn't wanna be
Anything else but me
I only wanna pretend in my daydreams
That I could be a little bug
I would hide and spy on everyone
And nobody would know that it is me
It's just me
Hey, it's me
Dance, Shake, Wiggle! lyrics - Meredith Brooks
Everywhere that I can
I turn on the music and I'm clapping my hands
Soon as I hear the beat
I can't stop my body and I'm moving my feet
I throw my hands in the air
Shake it up, shake it down, shake them everywhere
Turn it up all the way
Nothing's more fun any time of the day
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance
Everyone can dance in this world
It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl
Just get up and move
Cause when you hear the beat that's all you wanna do
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance, dance
Shake, wiggle, yeah, turn around and dance
Shake, wiggle, yeah, turn around and
Give me a beat, give me a beat
Give me a beat, give me a beat
Give me a beat, give me a beat
Give me a beat, give me a beat
Ah, give me a beat anytime
Cause when I hear that music I'm feeling so fine
I never wanted to end
Nothing's better when I'm dancing with my friends
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance (Come on, let's dance)
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Shake, shake, shake, yeah, turn around and dance
Shake, wiggle, yeah, turn around and
(Give me a beat, give me a beat)
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance
Ah, dance, ah, dance, dance, dance, dance
Shake, wiggle, yeah, turn around and dance
The La La Song lyrics - Meredith Brooks
Well, anyone can sing a song
And you can sing it all day long
It'll make you feel like the first day of spring
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Here's all you have to know to sing a song
Cause you can make it be just about anything
From your head to your toes
Open your mouth away you go
A song straight from your heart
All the way up to the stars
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Here's all you have to know to sing a song
Just let it come out is all you have to do
You don't even have to know the words
Just sing and let your voice be heard
Y 'all feel so good the whole day through
From your head to your toes
Open your mouth away you go
A song straight from your heart
All the way up to the stars
Oh, and if you're feeling blue
And you just want to be happy
Oh, sing a song and you will smile
And know it's true
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You don't even have to know the words
Just sing and let your voice be heard
You'll feel so good the whole day through
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Every Dog lyrics - Meredith Brooks
My dog Paco is a big brown lad
He's the best friend I ever had
He's big and strong and works real hard
For tech and family, digging in our backyards
Every day he plays with me
And cookies are his favorite treat
He's not supposed to eat so much
But today we shared my lunch
Cause every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has what they say
Every dog has its day
Paco has lots of friends
Playing in the park all the weekend
One, two, three, four, five, six
They run all day chasing after sticks
They get hot and tired, it's cool
In their very own doggy pool
Some are big and some are small
But only one will get that ball
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has what they say
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
This is what they say
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has what they say
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day
Every dog has its day

Ball Song lyrics - Meredith Brooks
I love balls in every way
I love balls every day
One ball, two balls, three or four
Zoom outside, roll them on the floor
I love balls and if I could
I'd play with all the balls in the neighborhood
I wonder if there could be
Anyone that loves balls as much as me
I love balls any time
It doesn't matter to me if the greens will shine
I love balls and yeah it's true
Red, green or blue
I love balls in one, two, three
Turns of balls for you and me
I love balls for so much fun
Dancing balls for one by one
I love balls anywhere
Anytime, anyplace, I don't care
I can't get enough of them
Throw it again and again
Least balls, soccer balls, basketballs, footballs
Hard balls, river balls, red and green and purple balls
Yellow balls, white balls, big and small and two footballs
I love any ball, any kind of ball at all
Ah, ah, ah, ah
I love balls, don't you know
Bouncing them up so high, passing down so low
Throw them for the dog, go on to a friend
Everybody loves it when you throw it to them
I love balls and gadgets too
It's funny what love can do
No, I'm not the only one
Of the things that balls are so much fun
Soft balls, meatballs, volleyball, tennis balls
Beach balls, bowling balls, every kind of bouncy ball
Orange balls, giant ball, keeps up all the giant balls
I love any ball, any kind of ball at all
Oh, la, la la, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I love balls, you know
Why lyrics - Meredith Brooks
Why does the wind blow?
How does the grass grow?
When do the bees go to bed?
How do the clouds move
When the cow jumps over the moon?
Does she fall down?
Does she bump her head?
These are things that I want to know
These are things that make me wonder
How do the birds fly?
What makes the blue sky when I'm happy?
Why do I smile?
How do we'll spin round?
Why is up up and down down?
Yes, I'll last again in a while
These are things that I want to know
These are things that make me wonder
When will I ever get to know
All the things that make me wonder
What makes the sunshine?
Why is it dark at night?
Will I ever be tall as a tree?
And why does my heart pound?
Whenever you're around
What is this happy feeling?
These are things that I want to know
These are things that make me wonder
When will I ever get to know
All the things that make me wonder
And these are things that I want to know
These are things that make me wonder
And when will I ever get to know
All the things that make me wonder
That make me wonder
That make me wonder
My Chair lyrics - Meredith Brooks
In my chair I am at home
It's a place all of my own
In my chair I sit and dream
When it's just my chair and knee
In my chair I cozy up
It's always there, no matter what
My chair fits me to a T
I love my chair and it loves me
Sitting in the corner waiting for me to come
To pull it out and push it on the floor and have some fun
And it was there all night waiting for the sunlight
To start another day
In my chair I am at home
It's a place all of my own
In my chair I sit and dream
When it's just my chair and knee
In my chair I cozy up
It's always there, no matter what
My chair fits me to a T
I love my chair and it loves me
When I was smaller it seemed like my chair was so big
Now I can't take it anywhere I want to sit
I'm sure other chairs are nice but nothing that I land
Quiet as much as mine
In my chair I am at home
It's a place all of my own
In my chair I sit and dream
When it's just my chair and knee
In my chair I cozy up
It's always there, no matter what
My chair fits me to a T
I love my chair and it loves me
I love my chair and it loves me
I love my chair and it loves me
I Did It! lyrics - Meredith Brooks
One leg in, one leg out
Putting on my pants is like a web
One arm in and I just wanna shout
Cause my shirt always gets stuck around my head
Sometimes it's hard, I know you can tell (La la la, ooh)
But I, I did it, I did it all by myself (La la la, ooh)
Just when I think I might need a little help
Well, I did it all by myself
I want to pour the cereal
Sometimes these things get so out of control
It always spills more than it should
But eventually I get some in the bowl
Sometimes it's hard, I know you can tell (La la la, ooh)
But I, I did it, I did it all by myself (La la la, ooh)
Just when I think I might need a little help
Well, I did it all by myself
I did it
I put my shoes on, I did it
I cleaned my room
I closed my hair, I did it
I found my doll
I write my name, I did it
I picked out my clothes
I held my brother
I ate my veggie
I brushed my teeth
I cleaned it
I cut my hair
Oh, no
Sometimes it's hard, I know you can tell (La la la, ooh)
But I, I did it, I did it all by myself (La la la, ooh)
Just when I think I might need a little help
Well, I did it all by myself
Sometimes it's hard, I know you can tell (La la la, ooh)
But I, I did it, I did it all by myself (La la la, ooh)
Just when I think I might need a little help
Well, I did it all by myself
I did it
Bye bye
Good Morning To You lyrics - Meredith Brooks
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's such a wonderful day
The sun is up and waiting for you
To come outside and play
Not a cloud in the sky
No worries inside
Your friends are on their way
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's time to start your day
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's such a lovely day
The stars have gone to sleep with the moon
A million miles away
It's time to explore
Let's open the door
Running the hours away
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's time to start your day
It's such a wonderful day
It's such a wonderful day
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's such a wonderful day
The birds are up and waiting for you
Singing the morning away
Open your eyes
Stretch to the sky
The world is wide awake
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
It's time to start your day
It's time to start your day
It's time to start your day
Turn It Back Around lyrics - Meredith Brooks
It's not easy being a kid
Sometimes you can't wait till you get bit
Don't get me wrong there is plenty of fun
Even when there seems to be so many bumps
Along the way but you're not alone
You got to turn it back around
You got to jump when you fall down
You got to try and work it out
Cause it will take away the doubt
You got to turn it back around
Some things come easy, you don't even try
But just seems everything goes your way
You feel like you're flying then you don't know why you fall
But you're stronger every day
Just give it some time and I'll show you how
You got to turn it back around
You got to jump when you fall down
You got to try and work it out
Cause it will take away the doubt
You got to turn it back around
You got to jump when you fall down
You got to try and work it out
Cause it will take away the doubt
You got to turn it back around
You got to jump when you fall down
You got to try and work it out
Cause it'll take away the doubt
You got to turn it back around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to turn it back around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to turn it back around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to turn it back around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
To Dream Again lyrics - Meredith Brooks
When you fall asleep
All your dreams your soul will keep
When you fly over the moon
All your love will follow you
Up high through the night
All the stars will shine and light
The way back home and only then
You will awake to dream again
Up high through the night
All the stars will shine and light
The way back home and only then
You will awake to dream again
Up high through the night
All the stars will shine and light
The way back home and only then
Shine Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Lucky that you found me
You gotta hang around me some more
Cause I'll remind you
I'll be around
While you're waging your war
With yourself
And I
See it clearer than you see it
You gotta get out of your head to believe it
Oh I know something about you
You don't know I know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you're sinking you swim
When you see your way out instead of in
That's where you shine
Like a diamond in the rough
You're always so resilient
That's where you shine
When you're walking the edge
No one's ever gonna catch you stumbling
That's where you shine
Remember when you told me
To get up and dust yourself off
It wasn't easy
Everything can change
And it usually does
It does
You said
Shake it off like it ain't no big thing
Won't be the last time we're sinking
Oh, I know some things about you
You don't know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you think you've had enough
Just a matter of time before you fade
That's where you shine
Like a clear in the brush
Like a headlight breaking through the haze
That's where you shine
When there's nothing but no
And there's nowhere to go
You find a way
That's where you shine
Sometimes you need someone to see yourself clearer
There's no reflection when it's you inside the mirror
I know something about you don't know
[Chorus]
You gotta hang around me some more
Cause I'll remind you
I'll be around
While you're waging your war
With yourself
And I
See it clearer than you see it
You gotta get out of your head to believe it
Oh I know something about you
You don't know I know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you're sinking you swim
When you see your way out instead of in
That's where you shine
Like a diamond in the rough
You're always so resilient
That's where you shine
When you're walking the edge
No one's ever gonna catch you stumbling
That's where you shine
Remember when you told me
To get up and dust yourself off
It wasn't easy
Everything can change
And it usually does
It does
You said
Shake it off like it ain't no big thing
Won't be the last time we're sinking
Oh, I know some things about you
You don't know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you think you've had enough
Just a matter of time before you fade
That's where you shine
Like a clear in the brush
Like a headlight breaking through the haze
That's where you shine
When there's nothing but no
And there's nowhere to go
You find a way
That's where you shine
Sometimes you need someone to see yourself clearer
There's no reflection when it's you inside the mirror
I know something about you don't know
[Chorus]
Crazy Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Jump in it's fine without a lifeboat
I will give it another try
You say come back, don't go in too deep
But it's a rush to see me do it
Cause you don't dare
Even though there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
This town's always gonna think I'm a little crazy
Somebody's always gonna try to label me insane
Funny how I always seem to be the one who's crazy
I just wanna live, I don't wanna fit
If that makes me crazy, then I am
No way I feel like nothings goin'
My way but my future's bright
Don't have a single dollar left
Got my keys inside my car
and the high way is opening wide
You ask me where, I can't tell you
But I'm putting town the pedal tonight
[Chorus]
You say don't change a single thing
But your list is longer than my day
I can't help wondering
When all is said and all is done
Am I the crazy one?
I just want to live
I don't want to fit
I just want to try
I don't want to quit
If that makes me crazy, I am.
[Chorus]
I will give it another try
You say come back, don't go in too deep
But it's a rush to see me do it
Cause you don't dare
Even though there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
This town's always gonna think I'm a little crazy
Somebody's always gonna try to label me insane
Funny how I always seem to be the one who's crazy
I just wanna live, I don't wanna fit
If that makes me crazy, then I am
No way I feel like nothings goin'
My way but my future's bright
Don't have a single dollar left
Got my keys inside my car
and the high way is opening wide
You ask me where, I can't tell you
But I'm putting town the pedal tonight
[Chorus]
You say don't change a single thing
But your list is longer than my day
I can't help wondering
When all is said and all is done
Am I the crazy one?
I just want to live
I don't want to fit
I just want to try
I don't want to quit
If that makes me crazy, I am.
[Chorus]
Lucky Day Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I'm gonna spin some lies of my own
'cause your truth has got me reelin'
You always think of things that go wrong
But it's only faith you're stealin
I tried to slip out the back
But you showed up to give me one more chance
[Chorus]
You're the star of your show
And all you touch turns to gold
I hear you say
It's my lucky day
No one's taking your place
You tell me right to my face
Yeah you say
It's my lucky day
I want to waste some time on my own
'cause I feel I'm suffocating
I'm getting lost on 2nd and Vine
Yea I feel I've finally made it
I hear the screaming on the street
And you got everyone listening
[Chorus]
Sometimes you just got to let luck run out
And live with out the plan
We all know the world is gonna win in the end
[Chorus]
'cause your truth has got me reelin'
You always think of things that go wrong
But it's only faith you're stealin
I tried to slip out the back
But you showed up to give me one more chance
[Chorus]
You're the star of your show
And all you touch turns to gold
I hear you say

No one's taking your place
You tell me right to my face

I hear the screaming on the street
And you got everyone listening

Sometimes you just got to let luck run out
And live with out the plan

Where Lovers Meet Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Today I write in my book
Dear God I need a change
I can't keep hiding
Wishing the mirror was lying
Show me where do I look
I know there must be a plan
Though I can't see one
I go through the motions anyway
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers
Where lovers meet
I know my faith is blind
I'll take my chances
I'm tired of just surviving
I 'm not wasting any time
Just like tears in the rain
No one can see
Inside my heart is crying
Telling me I can't lie any more
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers meet
Feel the wind beneath my feet
Oh, I want to feel that complete
When I find someone
I spent half my life
Wasting my time
I don't want to hear my heart beating alone
Oh
[Chorus]
I want to go
I want to go where lovers meet
Dear God I need a change
I can't keep hiding
Wishing the mirror was lying
Show me where do I look
I know there must be a plan
Though I can't see one
I go through the motions anyway
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers
Where lovers meet
I know my faith is blind
I'll take my chances
I'm tired of just surviving
I 'm not wasting any time
Just like tears in the rain
No one can see
Inside my heart is crying
Telling me I can't lie any more
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers meet
Feel the wind beneath my feet
Oh, I want to feel that complete
When I find someone
I spent half my life
Wasting my time
I don't want to hear my heart beating alone
Oh
[Chorus]
I want to go
I want to go where lovers meet
Bad Bad One Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I wouldn't blame you if you
threw away the key
I can't expect you to keep the
door unlocked for me
I'm happy that you waited
'cause I know it's complicated
keeping up with me
Oh no-it's almost that time again
For me to go round and round
in my head today
I get so bored when I stay
Oh it could have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I-I'm the bad bad one
I know how hard you try for me
But I'm immature I run away for fun
I guess I'm not ready for a good love
and I'I'm the bad bad one
I'm the bad bad one
I wouldn't blame you if you tried to hang me
I keep you running around the same old tree
I wouldn't be the same if I didn't get away
with acting out for free oh no
you seem to like it better when I'm mean
and here comes the fight again
about our cloudy fate
well it looks like rain
I know it should have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I know you could be the one
I I could let you give me good love
[Chorus]
I'm just not read-
I'm just not ready for a good love
threw away the key
I can't expect you to keep the
door unlocked for me
I'm happy that you waited
'cause I know it's complicated
keeping up with me
Oh no-it's almost that time again
For me to go round and round
in my head today
I get so bored when I stay
Oh it could have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I-I'm the bad bad one
I know how hard you try for me
But I'm immature I run away for fun
I guess I'm not ready for a good love
and I'I'm the bad bad one
I'm the bad bad one
I wouldn't blame you if you tried to hang me
I keep you running around the same old tree
I wouldn't be the same if I didn't get away
with acting out for free oh no
you seem to like it better when I'm mean
and here comes the fight again
about our cloudy fate
well it looks like rain
I know it should have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I know you could be the one
I I could let you give me good love
[Chorus]
I'm just not read-
I'm just not ready for a good love
You Don't Know Me Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I was wrong this was my mistake
I resolve to save what's mine again
I've always wanted to believe in things
And I pity you for taking that from me
You tried to erase the guilt that's on your face
But you're just hiding out behind your cool
Like a hurricane you changed
And because you took the blame
You thought that would be enough
And then I'd be on my way
[Chorus]
Did you think that I would let you forget me?
Did you think that I would just lie on the floor?
As you walked into you future did you think I
would give you control?
Well, you don't know me
Did you think that I would simply forgive you?
Maybe you think I'd just lay down and die
As you walked away, didn't you think I'd survive?
Well, you don't know me
My world changed like a thought replaced
I was faithful to the promises you made
When you say my name
Will it sound the same
As when you used to talk to me so cool ?
You want me to pretend
So you'll have your happy end
To wash away your guilt
And make it easier for you - oh
[Chorus]
I resolve to save what's mine again
I've always wanted to believe in things
And I pity you for taking that from me
You tried to erase the guilt that's on your face
But you're just hiding out behind your cool
Like a hurricane you changed
And because you took the blame
You thought that would be enough
And then I'd be on my way
[Chorus]
Did you think that I would let you forget me?
Did you think that I would just lie on the floor?
As you walked into you future did you think I
would give you control?
Well, you don't know me
Did you think that I would simply forgive you?
Maybe you think I'd just lay down and die
As you walked away, didn't you think I'd survive?
Well, you don't know me
My world changed like a thought replaced
I was faithful to the promises you made
When you say my name
Will it sound the same
As when you used to talk to me so cool ?
You want me to pretend
So you'll have your happy end
To wash away your guilt
And make it easier for you - oh
[Chorus]
Pleasure Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I stayed up all night
Thinking about this life
I've been working so hard baby
now it's time to fly
and you're my pleasure baby
I hit the ground each day
no time to stop and stare
but when I see you all my
worries seem to disappear
I love the way you do it
you're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]
OO ya-ya
You're my pleasure baby
OO ya-ya
I love the way you do what you do
To make me feel so fine
I like it when we play
The pressure melts away
I have been with out relief for 110 days
Tomorrow's too late
You're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]
Now this ain't livin' if it's just for the gettin'
It means nothin'
But nothin' is something if it's anything with you
And you're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]
Thinking about this life

I love the way you do it
you're my pleasure baby

Pain Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Holding us together
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
[Chorus]
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Well, I must love the pain
I do love the pain
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
[Chorus]
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Well, I must love the pain
I do love the pain
Walk Away Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Got a lot to say but I couldn't get it in
And we couldn't get along so it got in the way
I'll give you the spin and you couldn't even talk
But you never give in
Yeah I can fight with the best of them
And we've gone a few rounds and I shed a new light
And I counted to ten but it didn't seem to matter
You just wanted to win
I won't let you drag me in
I know you enjoy the pain
Oh you won't feel anything
Well I don't play that way
[Chorus]
It's a sure bet
The last thing you're ever gonna to hear from me
Are my footsteps
As I walk away (I walk away)
You've tried everything
To keep me coming back
Oh but I'm spent
As I walk away
One thing's for sure last thing you're
Ever gonna hear from me
Are my footsteps as I walk away
You love to fight and I couldn't get through
And your blood is running hot makes you feel alive
In everything you do and you want it that way
I can't abide by you
Look at the time I guess it went to waste
But I'm good to go I gotta toe the line
I'll make mistakes but I still got a chance
I'm gonna take
Everything you said
Is like a kick in the head
Don't count me out just yet
Place your money here instead
[Chorus]
Can't even tell me that you want me
But this time it's just all right
Something that you'll face in the morning
But baby if you want when I close this door
I'll leave on the light
[Chorus]
And we couldn't get along so it got in the way
I'll give you the spin and you couldn't even talk
But you never give in
Yeah I can fight with the best of them
And we've gone a few rounds and I shed a new light
And I counted to ten but it didn't seem to matter
You just wanted to win
I won't let you drag me in
I know you enjoy the pain
Oh you won't feel anything
Well I don't play that way
[Chorus]
It's a sure bet
The last thing you're ever gonna to hear from me
Are my footsteps
As I walk away (I walk away)
You've tried everything
To keep me coming back

One thing's for sure last thing you're

Your Name Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
You're everywhere I walk
I don't remember if I smiled
I don't think we talked
But you always hung around a while
And I don't know your name
Yeah I think that you were tall
I don't remember if I was ever nice to you at all
[Chorus]
Suddenly you come undone
You tell me I'm the only one
You hold my head up with a gun
And tell me that we are in love
You touch me and you want the same
I close my eyes and start to pray
And tell you I will be the way
You want if you will only say your name
You wrote me everyday
I never knew that it was you
I just threw it all away
I didn't know what else to do
Jesus told you to find me
And never ever let me go
And we would be so happy
He promised you that I would know
[Chorus]
I am sorry - so sorry oh
I am sorry Jesus forgot to tell me
I see that you are crying
I know you only meant to be with me
Maybe I was hasty
I should have listened more carefully
Please tell me it's not too late
Your decision has been made
Before you pull the trigger
Please won't you tell me your name?
[Chorus]
I don't remember if I smiled
I don't think we talked
But you always hung around a while
And I don't know your name
Yeah I think that you were tall
I don't remember if I was ever nice to you at all
[Chorus]
Suddenly you come undone
You tell me I'm the only one
You hold my head up with a gun
And tell me that we are in love
You touch me and you want the same
I close my eyes and start to pray
And tell you I will be the way
You want if you will only say your name
You wrote me everyday
I never knew that it was you
I just threw it all away
I didn't know what else to do
Jesus told you to find me
And never ever let me go
And we would be so happy
He promised you that I would know
[Chorus]
I am sorry - so sorry oh
I am sorry Jesus forgot to tell me
I see that you are crying
I know you only meant to be with me
Maybe I was hasty
I should have listened more carefully
Please tell me it's not too late
Your decision has been made
Before you pull the trigger
Please won't you tell me your name?
[Chorus]
High Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I love the sound of summer disco in the air.
I throw my hands up like I just don't care.
It makes no difference where it's comin' from.
I'm on my way the party's just begun.
[Chorus]
Let me hear ya say I-I-I
no-no-no-no-no I'm not getting high.
I-I-I No matter what you do
I'm not getting high.
Sister freaky in a cloud of purple haze
She's groovin'; slowly through the Milky way.
The fish are jumpin' Everybody's free.
This kind of movie you will never ever see.
[Chorus]
Don't pass it my way.
I'm already high yea I'm fly.
What you say or do
Leave it up to you
This kind of something you will never see.
Baby if you want it come and get it
'Cause it's something that you can't deny.
[Chorus]
I throw my hands up like I just don't care.
It makes no difference where it's comin' from.
I'm on my way the party's just begun.
[Chorus]
Let me hear ya say I-I-I
no-no-no-no-no I'm not getting high.
I-I-I No matter what you do
I'm not getting high.
Sister freaky in a cloud of purple haze
She's groovin'; slowly through the Milky way.
The fish are jumpin' Everybody's free.
This kind of movie you will never ever see.
[Chorus]
Don't pass it my way.
I'm already high yea I'm fly.
What you say or do
Leave it up to you
This kind of something you will never see.
Baby if you want it come and get it
'Cause it's something that you can't deny.
[Chorus]
Stand Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I search through my mind
And it's hard trying to find
Words that we haven't said
To tame the thoughts in your head
I can only promise you
That I will see this through
[Chorus]
You can count on me, you can cry with me
No one can divide me, you can depend on me
To see this through, I will cover you
I won't lie to you, I will choose to
Stand by you
I will stand by you
Stand by you
By you
When you're feeling weak and
You're close to defeat
You can look in my eyes
To find love, not my pride
You know that it's true
I'll be waiting here for you
[Chorus]
Fear can tear the road from underneath you
Nothing's worth my pride and nothing's worth the
Feeling in my life without you
[Chorus]
And it's hard trying to find
Words that we haven't said
To tame the thoughts in your head
I can only promise you
That I will see this through
[Chorus]
You can count on me, you can cry with me
No one can divide me, you can depend on me
To see this through, I will cover you
I won't lie to you, I will choose to
Stand by you
I will stand by you
Stand by you
By you
When you're feeling weak and
You're close to defeat
You can look in my eyes
To find love, not my pride
You know that it's true
I'll be waiting here for you
[Chorus]
Fear can tear the road from underneath you
Nothing's worth my pride and nothing's worth the
Feeling in my life without you
[Chorus]
Crazy Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Jump in it's fine without a lifeboat
I will give it another try
You say come back, don't go in too deep
But it's a rush to see me do it
Cause you don't dare
Even though there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
This town's always gonna think I'm a little crazy
Somebody's always gonna try to label me insane
Funny how I always seem to be the one who's crazy
I just wanna live, I don't wanna fit
If that makes me crazy, then I am
No way I feel like nothings goin'
My way but my future's bright
Don't have a single dollar left
Got my keys inside my car
and the high way is opening wide
You ask me where, I can't tell you
But I'm putting town the pedal tonight
[Chorus]
You say don't change a single thing
But your list is longer than my day
I can't help wondering
When all is said and all is done
Am I the crazy one?
I just want to live
I don't want to fit
I just want to try
I don't want to quit
If that makes me crazy, I am.
[Chorus]
I will give it another try
You say come back, don't go in too deep
But it's a rush to see me do it
Cause you don't dare
Even though there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
This town's always gonna think I'm a little crazy
Somebody's always gonna try to label me insane
Funny how I always seem to be the one who's crazy
I just wanna live, I don't wanna fit
If that makes me crazy, then I am
No way I feel like nothings goin'
My way but my future's bright
Don't have a single dollar left
Got my keys inside my car
and the high way is opening wide
You ask me where, I can't tell you
But I'm putting town the pedal tonight
[Chorus]
You say don't change a single thing
But your list is longer than my day
I can't help wondering
When all is said and all is done
Am I the crazy one?
I just want to live
I don't want to fit
I just want to try
I don't want to quit
If that makes me crazy, I am.

Bad Bad One Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I wouldn't blame you if you
threw away the key
I can't expect you to keep the
door unlocked for me
I'm happy that you waited
'cause I know it's complicated
keeping up with me
Oh no-it's almost that time again
For me to go round and round
in my head today
I get so bored when I stay
Oh it could have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I-I'm the bad bad one
I know how hard you try for me
But I'm immature I run away for fun
I guess I'm not ready for a good love
and I'I'm the bad bad one
I'm the bad bad one
I wouldn't blame you if you tried to hang me
I keep you running around the same old tree
I wouldn't be the same if I didn't get away
with acting out for free oh no
you seem to like it better when I'm mean
and here comes the fight again
about our cloudy fate
well it looks like rain
I know it should have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I know you could be the one
I I could let you give me good love
[Chorus]
I'm just not read-
I'm just not ready for a good love
threw away the key
I can't expect you to keep the
door unlocked for me
I'm happy that you waited
'cause I know it's complicated
keeping up with me
Oh no-it's almost that time again
For me to go round and round
in my head today
I get so bored when I stay
Oh it could have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I-I'm the bad bad one
I know how hard you try for me
But I'm immature I run away for fun
I guess I'm not ready for a good love
and I'I'm the bad bad one
I'm the bad bad one
I wouldn't blame you if you tried to hang me
I keep you running around the same old tree
I wouldn't be the same if I didn't get away
with acting out for free oh no
you seem to like it better when I'm mean
and here comes the fight again
about our cloudy fate
well it looks like rain
I know it should have been a good thing
[Chorus]
I know you could be the one
I I could let you give me good love
[Chorus]
I'm just not read-
I'm just not ready for a good love
Pleasure Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I stayed up all night
Thinking about this life
I've been working so hard baby
now it's time to fly
and you're my pleasure baby
I hit the ground each day
no time to stop and stare
but when I see you all my
worries seem to disappear
I love the way you do it
you're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]
OO ya-ya
You're my pleasure baby
OO ya-ya
I love the way you do what you do
To make me feel so fine
I like it when we play
The pressure melts away
I have been with out relief for 110 days
Tomorrow's too late
You're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]
Now this ain't livin' if it's just for the gettin'
It means nothin'
But nothin' is something if it's anything with you
And you're my pleasure baby
[Chorus]

Pain Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Holding us together
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
[Chorus]
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Well, I must love the pain
I do love the pain
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
[Chorus]
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
[Chorus]
Well, I must love the pain
I do love the pain
You Don't Know Me Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I was wrong this was my mistake
I resolve to save what's mine again
I've always wanted to believe in things
And I pity you for taking that from me
You tried to erase the guilt that's on your face
But you're just hiding out behind your cool
Like a hurricane you changed
And because you took the blame
You thought that would be enough
And then I'd be on my way
[Chorus]
Did you think that I would let you forget me?
Did you think that I would just lie on the floor?
As you walked into you future did you think I
would give you control?
Well, you don't know me
Did you think that I would simply forgive you?
Maybe you think I'd just lay down and die
As you walked away, didn't you think I'd survive?
Well, you don't know me
My world changed like a thought replaced
I was faithful to the promises you made
When you say my name
Will it sound the same
As when you used to talk to me so cool ?
You want me to pretend
So you'll have your happy end
To wash away your guilt
And make it easier for you - oh
[Chorus]
I resolve to save what's mine again
I've always wanted to believe in things
And I pity you for taking that from me
You tried to erase the guilt that's on your face

And because you took the blame
You thought that would be enough
And then I'd be on my way

Where Lovers Meet Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Today I write in my book
Dear God I need a change
I can't keep hiding
Wishing the mirror was lying
Show me where do I look
I know there must be a plan
Though I can't see one
I go through the motions anyway
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers
Where lovers meet
I know my faith is blind
I'll take my chances
I'm tired of just surviving
I 'm not wasting any time
Just like tears in the rain
No one can see
Inside my heart is crying
Telling me I can't lie any more
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers meet
Feel the wind beneath my feet
Oh, I want to feel that complete
When I find someone
I spent half my life
Wasting my time
I don't want to hear my heart beating alone
Oh
[Chorus]
I want to go
I want to go where lovers meet
Dear God I need a change
I can't keep hiding
Wishing the mirror was lying
Show me where do I look
I know there must be a plan
Though I can't see one
I go through the motions anyway
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers
Where lovers meet
I know my faith is blind
I'll take my chances
I'm tired of just surviving
I 'm not wasting any time
Just like tears in the rain
No one can see
Inside my heart is crying
Telling me I can't lie any more
Here I go again
Walking down a road I've never known
[Chorus]
I want to go where lovers meet
I want to breathe the air they breathe
I want to touch the dreams they dream
When I find someone to love
I want to go where lovers meet
Feel the wind beneath my feet
Oh, I want to feel that complete
When I find someone
I spent half my life
Wasting my time
I don't want to hear my heart beating alone
Oh
[Chorus]
I want to go
I want to go where lovers meet
Walk Away Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Got a lot to say but I couldn't get it in
And we couldn't get along so it got in the way
I'll give you the spin and you couldn't even talk
But you never give in
Yeah I can fight with the best of them
And we've gone a few rounds and I shed a new light
And I counted to ten but it didn't seem to matter
You just wanted to win
I won't let you drag me in
I know you enjoy the pain
Oh you won't feel anything
Well I don't play that way
[Chorus]
It's a sure bet
The last thing you're ever gonna to hear from me
Are my footsteps
As I walk away (I walk away)
You've tried everything
To keep me coming back
Oh but I'm spent
As I walk away
One thing's for sure last thing you're
Ever gonna hear from me
Are my footsteps as I walk away
You love to fight and I couldn't get through
And your blood is running hot makes you feel alive
In everything you do and you want it that way
I can't abide by you
Look at the time I guess it went to waste
But I'm good to go I gotta toe the line
I'll make mistakes but I still got a chance
I'm gonna take
Everything you said
Is like a kick in the head
Don't count me out just yet
Place your money here instead
[Chorus]
Can't even tell me that you want me
But this time it's just all right
Something that you'll face in the morning
But baby if you want when I close this door
I'll leave on the light
[Chorus]
And we couldn't get along so it got in the way
I'll give you the spin and you couldn't even talk
But you never give in
Yeah I can fight with the best of them
And we've gone a few rounds and I shed a new light
And I counted to ten but it didn't seem to matter
You just wanted to win

Oh you won't feel anything
Well I don't play that way

Oh but I'm spent
As I walk away
One thing's for sure last thing you're
Ever gonna hear from me
Are my footsteps as I walk away
You love to fight and I couldn't get through
And your blood is running hot makes you feel alive
In everything you do and you want it that way
I can't abide by you
Look at the time I guess it went to waste
But I'm good to go I gotta toe the line
I'll make mistakes but I still got a chance
I'm gonna take
Everything you said
Is like a kick in the head
Don't count me out just yet
Place your money here instead
[Chorus]
Can't even tell me that you want me
But this time it's just all right
Something that you'll face in the morning
But baby if you want when I close this door
I'll leave on the light
[Chorus]
Your Name Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
You're everywhere I walk
I don't remember if I smiled
I don't think we talked
But you always hung around a while
And I don't know your name
Yeah I think that you were tall
I don't remember if I was ever nice to you at all
[Chorus]
Suddenly you come undone
You tell me I'm the only one
You hold my head up with a gun
And tell me that we are in love
You touch me and you want the same
I close my eyes and start to pray
And tell you I will be the way
You want if you will only say your name
You wrote me everyday
I never knew that it was you
I just threw it all away
I didn't know what else to do
Jesus told you to find me
And never ever let me go
And we would be so happy
He promised you that I would know
[Chorus]
I am sorry - so sorry oh
I am sorry Jesus forgot to tell me
I see that you are crying
I know you only meant to be with me
Maybe I was hasty
I should have listened more carefully
Please tell me it's not too late
Your decision has been made
Before you pull the trigger
Please won't you tell me your name?
[Chorus]
I don't remember if I smiled
I don't think we talked
But you always hung around a while
And I don't know your name
Yeah I think that you were tall
I don't remember if I was ever nice to you at all
[Chorus]
Suddenly you come undone
You tell me I'm the only one
You hold my head up with a gun
And tell me that we are in love
You touch me and you want the same
I close my eyes and start to pray
And tell you I will be the way
You want if you will only say your name
You wrote me everyday
I never knew that it was you
I just threw it all away
I didn't know what else to do
Jesus told you to find me
And never ever let me go
And we would be so happy
He promised you that I would know
[Chorus]
I am sorry - so sorry oh
I am sorry Jesus forgot to tell me
I see that you are crying
I know you only meant to be with me
Maybe I was hasty
I should have listened more carefully
Please tell me it's not too late
Your decision has been made
Before you pull the trigger
Please won't you tell me your name?
[Chorus]
Shine Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Lucky that you found me
You gotta hang around me some more
Cause I'll remind you
I'll be around
While you're waging your war
With yourself
And I
See it clearer than you see it
You gotta get out of your head to believe it
Oh I know something about you
You don't know I know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you're sinking you swim
When you see your way out instead of in
That's where you shine
Like a diamond in the rough
You're always so resilient
That's where you shine
When you're walking the edge
No one's ever gonna catch you stumbling
That's where you shine
Remember when you told me
To get up and dust yourself off
It wasn't easy
Everything can change
And it usually does
It does
You said
Shake it off like it ain't no big thing
Won't be the last time we're sinking
Oh, I know some things about you
You don't know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you think you've had enough
Just a matter of time before you fade
That's where you shine
Like a clear in the brush
Like a headlight breaking through the haze
That's where you shine
When there's nothing but no
And there's nowhere to go
You find a way
That's where you shine
Sometimes you need someone to see yourself clearer
There's no reflection when it's you inside the mirror
I know something about you don't know
[Chorus]
You gotta hang around me some more
Cause I'll remind you
I'll be around
While you're waging your war
With yourself
And I
See it clearer than you see it
You gotta get out of your head to believe it
Oh I know something about you
You don't know I know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you're sinking you swim
When you see your way out instead of in
That's where you shine
Like a diamond in the rough
You're always so resilient
That's where you shine
When you're walking the edge
No one's ever gonna catch you stumbling
That's where you shine
Remember when you told me
To get up and dust yourself off
It wasn't easy
Everything can change
And it usually does
It does
You said
Shake it off like it ain't no big thing
Won't be the last time we're sinking
Oh, I know some things about you
You don't know
[Chorus]
That's where you shine
When you think you've had enough
Just a matter of time before you fade
That's where you shine
Like a clear in the brush
Like a headlight breaking through the haze
That's where you shine
When there's nothing but no
And there's nowhere to go
You find a way
That's where you shine
Sometimes you need someone to see yourself clearer
There's no reflection when it's you inside the mirror
I know something about you don't know
[Chorus]
Lucky Day Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I'm gonna spin some lies of my own
'cause your truth has got me reelin'
You always think of things that go wrong
But it's only faith you're stealin
I tried to slip out the back
But you showed up to give me one more chance
[Chorus]
You're the star of your show
And all you touch turns to gold
I hear you say
It's my lucky day
No one's taking your place
You tell me right to my face
Yeah you say
It's my lucky day
I want to waste some time on my own
'cause I feel I'm suffocating
I'm getting lost on 2nd and Vine
Yea I feel I've finally made it
I hear the screaming on the street
And you got everyone listening
[Chorus]
Sometimes you just got to let luck run out
And live with out the plan
We all know the world is gonna win in the end
[Chorus]
'cause your truth has got me reelin'
You always think of things that go wrong
But it's only faith you're stealin
I tried to slip out the back
But you showed up to give me one more chance
[Chorus]
You're the star of your show
And all you touch turns to gold
I hear you say
It's my lucky day
No one's taking your place
You tell me right to my face
Yeah you say
It's my lucky day
I want to waste some time on my own
'cause I feel I'm suffocating
I'm getting lost on 2nd and Vine
Yea I feel I've finally made it
I hear the screaming on the street
And you got everyone listening
[Chorus]
Sometimes you just got to let luck run out
And live with out the plan
We all know the world is gonna win in the end
[Chorus]
Stand Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I search through my mind
And it's hard trying to find
Words that we haven't said
To tame the thoughts in your head
I can only promise you
That I will see this through
[Chorus]
You can count on me, you can cry with me
No one can divide me, you can depend on me
To see this through, I will cover you
I won't lie to you, I will choose to
Stand by you
I will stand by you
Stand by you
By you
When you're feeling weak and
You're close to defeat
You can look in my eyes
To find love, not my pride
You know that it's true
I'll be waiting here for you
[Chorus]
Fear can tear the road from underneath you
Nothing's worth my pride and nothing's worth the
Feeling in my life without you
[Chorus]
And it's hard trying to find
Words that we haven't said
To tame the thoughts in your head
I can only promise you
That I will see this through
[Chorus]
You can count on me, you can cry with me
No one can divide me, you can depend on me
To see this through, I will cover you
I won't lie to you, I will choose to
Stand by you
I will stand by you
Stand by you
By you
When you're feeling weak and
You're close to defeat
You can look in my eyes
To find love, not my pride
You know that it's true
I'll be waiting here for you
[Chorus]
Fear can tear the road from underneath you
Nothing's worth my pride and nothing's worth the
Feeling in my life without you
[Chorus]
Shout Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
It's 2:00 a.m. and the neighbors are jumpin'
Mr. Cray threatens to call the police
He jumps out of bed hits his head
Now you got something to really shout about
Everybody's got their eye on the T.V.
Did Bill and Monica do it the floor
The bombs go off and we're at war
Now we've got something to really get mad about
You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'Cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Get something to shout about
Yeah yeah yeah shout it shout about
The stewardess doesn't have vegetarian
There's no leg room, you've seen the movie twice
The plane goes down and smashes on the ground
Now you've got something to really freak you out
You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'Cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Get something to shout about
Yeah yeah yeah shout it shout about
So much wasted on unimportant things
Throw away the precious time
When there's so much that really needs changin'
You're driving home and the traffic isn't budging
Layin' on the horn adding to the mess
Then Y2K shuts down LA
Now you got something to really freak you out
You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'Cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Shout it out
Get something to shout about baby
You need something to shout about

Shout it out, shout about
Mr. Cray threatens to call the police
He jumps out of bed hits his head

Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
[Chorus:]
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless
Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore
[Chorus]
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
[Chorus (repeat)]
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
[Chorus:]
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless
Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore
[Chorus]
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
[Chorus (repeat)]
I Have Everything Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
The list has been long full of complaints full of desires full of things
That keep me amused I don't even want
Some say I got lucky
She poured down on me
When I didn't have a place to sleep
But you said it was fine that way
All I need is this bed
And this guitar what more what more
I have everything I have everything
I have everything but you
I hang around the place you do laundry
And I don't even wash a thing
You say that it's cool we're such good friends
I already know plenty of those friends
But not the kind I want to kiss
I have everything I have everything
I have everything but you
I have everything
Maybe it's simple
But what else is there but love
You can have all the money in the world
But it doesn't matter if I climb another dome alone
I'd rather be back home
Thinking of things to do with you and me
Just me and you
I have everything I have everything
I have everything I have every little every little thing
I have everything but you
That keep me amused I don't even want
Some say I got lucky
She poured down on me
When I didn't have a place to sleep
But you said it was fine that way
All I need is this bed
And this guitar what more what more
I have everything I have everything
I have everything but you
I hang around the place you do laundry
And I don't even wash a thing
You say that it's cool we're such good friends
I already know plenty of those friends
But not the kind I want to kiss
I have everything I have everything
I have everything but you
I have everything
Maybe it's simple
But what else is there but love
You can have all the money in the world
But it doesn't matter if I climb another dome alone
I'd rather be back home
Thinking of things to do with you and me
Just me and you
I have everything I have everything
I have everything I have every little every little thing
I have everything but you
Cosmic Woo Woo Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Spirituality is a henna tattoo
That you wash off when you find something new to get into
Standing in the field with your flashlight blinking
'Cuz somebody told you the aliens were thinking they'd want you
In the end it doesn't really matter what you say or what you wear
So you think Big G gives a - how you get there
Buddhism, Communism, Hinduism,
Health Foodism, Lennonism, Sexism
What about your own ism
Just get real
Don't be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Just get real like this
When I was fifteen I made my mother rant
'Cuz I joined a cult gave me words to chant to reach Heaven
So I used them for the lotto and won big money
They shouted you're in don't worry honey
This ain't 7-11 get in and out
Pop psychology words don't mean anything
When you throw them around to be cool
What goes around comes around
That's what they say
Catholicism, Footballism, Judaism, Racism, Manism, Womanism
What about Humanism
Just get real
Don't be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Just get real don't be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you really are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Cosmic Woo Woo
Just get real
That you wash off when you find something new to get into
Standing in the field with your flashlight blinking
'Cuz somebody told you the aliens were thinking they'd want you
In the end it doesn't really matter what you say or what you wear
So you think Big G gives a - how you get there
Buddhism, Communism, Hinduism,
Health Foodism, Lennonism, Sexism
What about your own ism
Just get real
Don't be a cosmic woo woo

Just get real like this

Nobody's Home Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
She can talk for hours
words don't cover the scars.
She thinks she's crazy,
but they've just pushed her too far.
She runs to the mirror
Only savior she's known
Another slap on her face
Cause nobody's home.
Mother's always working
Slinging beer on the side.
Her dad's watching TV
And he's still getting high.
She knows he'll be waiting
Tryinto get her alone.
She hangs out on the corner
Cause nobody's home.
All she ever wanted
was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior
For anyone to hear her
All she ever needed
Was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone
cause nobody's home
She cries for attention
Hanging on by a thread.
She can't stop the screaming
going on in her head.
Tears on the pillow
These are things she won't miss
Nothing to believe in
So it comes down to this.
Blood on the mirror,
Temptation is bliss.
Pills on the table,
She just couldn't resist.
Now nobody's home.
All she ever wanted
was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior
For anyone to hear her
All she ever needed
Was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone
cause nobody's home.
words don't cover the scars.
She thinks she's crazy,
but they've just pushed her too far.
She runs to the mirror
Only savior she's known
Another slap on her face
Cause nobody's home.
Mother's always working
Slinging beer on the side.
Her dad's watching TV
And he's still getting high.
She knows he'll be waiting
Tryinto get her alone.
She hangs out on the corner
Cause nobody's home.
All she ever wanted
was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior
For anyone to hear her
All she ever needed
Was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone
cause nobody's home
She cries for attention
Hanging on by a thread.
She can't stop the screaming
going on in her head.
Tears on the pillow
These are things she won't miss
Nothing to believe in
So it comes down to this.
Blood on the mirror,
Temptation is bliss.
Pills on the table,
She just couldn't resist.
Now nobody's home.
All she ever wanted
was a place on this earth
She shouts for a savior
For anyone to hear her
All she ever needed
Was hope in a world
In a world where she feels all alone
cause nobody's home.
I Said It Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Hold on now I'm slow to burn
I know you've been waiting your turn
I'm not giving in
It's just the time has come
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
I thought I had so much to lose
But I am no longer confused
You can't rush these things
And now I'm telling you
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
Love will tell the truth
Lovers can turn it to lies
I'd rather protect these lips
Then say another goodbye
I don't want regret from the past
To keep me from something that could last
You're the only one
Who solved the mystery
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
Hold on now I'm slow to burn
You're the only one
Who saw the mystery
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
You heard me I said it
Believe it
Now get it
You want it I meant it
I love you
I know you've been waiting your turn
I'm not giving in
It's just the time has come
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
I thought I had so much to lose
But I am no longer confused
You can't rush these things
And now I'm telling you
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
Love will tell the truth
Lovers can turn it to lies
I'd rather protect these lips
Then say another goodbye
I don't want regret from the past
To keep me from something that could last
You're the only one
Who solved the mystery
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
Hold on now I'm slow to burn
You're the only one
Who saw the mystery
You want it I said it You got it I meant it
You heard me I said it
Believe it
Now get it
You want it I meant it
I love you
All For Nothing Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I was walking down the street doing nothing
When she ran right into me and I was wondering
If it could be that she didn't see
But she spit that hatred at my face
I felt like I wanted to fight
When I saw her hungry eyes and broken heart
And recognized her pain
I saw it I know it and I walked away
Only love could save her anyway
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
Sometimes I feel so confused when I look at us
And all we went through
After eight years of sharing every dream together
We don't even talk
Is that all there is
What we stood up for
Now we stand behind a million locked doors
And we can't even say that we'll be friends
Sometimes things just change and we don't know why
I don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
Do we all want to believe there's more to this
Than the lights just turning out
Now we gotta have a real conversation even if we don't
Know each other's situation
Who says we're powerless just because of all the injustice
There's still time to fight
You just gotta go you just gotta try
You're the only one that's standing in your way
Sometimes things keep changin' we don't know why
Don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
When she ran right into me and I was wondering
If it could be that she didn't see
But she spit that hatred at my face
I felt like I wanted to fight
When I saw her hungry eyes and broken heart
And recognized her pain
I saw it I know it and I walked away
Only love could save her anyway
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
Sometimes I feel so confused when I look at us
And all we went through
After eight years of sharing every dream together
We don't even talk
Is that all there is
What we stood up for
Now we stand behind a million locked doors
And we can't even say that we'll be friends
Sometimes things just change and we don't know why
I don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
Do we all want to believe there's more to this
Than the lights just turning out
Now we gotta have a real conversation even if we don't
Know each other's situation
Who says we're powerless just because of all the injustice
There's still time to fight
You just gotta go you just gotta try
You're the only one that's standing in your way
Sometimes things keep changin' we don't know why
Don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie
I can't believe all the times that we bleed
That it's all for nothing
I will deny all the tears that we cry
That it's all for nothing
Back To Eden Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Fill me up with a promise
Touch my eyes so I can see

Bored With Myself Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I'm just a little defensive
But I'll be o.k. tomorrow
This happens once in awhile
'Till I'm back on my feet
Once I get out of bed
I'll come to my senses
Feed my head
A double shot of caffeine
A pair of shades can change it all
Maybe Superman will jump the wall
Whatever it takes to get on with the world
'Cuz I'm bored with myself
So very bored with myself
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Marilyn ever felt this way
We're moving so fast
Why do I feel so empty
There's clothes in my closet
But nothing to wear
It's a mysterious thing
The more that I acquired
The less hungry I am but not more satisfied
There's India where I can chant
Therapy to rave and rant
Whatever it takes to distract me from being so
Bored with myself
So scary bored with myself
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Jacqueline ever felt this way
I'm a little uninspired
It happens to the best of us
I know I shouldn't take it hard
But I'm so afraid this time I'll never change
Won't shake it off I'll just go insane
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Loretta Lynn ever felt this way
I'm so bored with myself
So very bored with myself
So bored with myself
But I'll be o.k. tomorrow
This happens once in awhile
'Till I'm back on my feet
Once I get out of bed
I'll come to my senses
Feed my head
A double shot of caffeine
A pair of shades can change it all
Maybe Superman will jump the wall
Whatever it takes to get on with the world
'Cuz I'm bored with myself
So very bored with myself
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Marilyn ever felt this way
We're moving so fast
Why do I feel so empty
There's clothes in my closet
But nothing to wear
It's a mysterious thing
The more that I acquired
The less hungry I am but not more satisfied
There's India where I can chant
Therapy to rave and rant
Whatever it takes to distract me from being so
Bored with myself
So scary bored with myself
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Jacqueline ever felt this way
I'm a little uninspired
It happens to the best of us
I know I shouldn't take it hard
But I'm so afraid this time I'll never change
Won't shake it off I'll just go insane
More and more everyday
And I wonder if Loretta Lynn ever felt this way
I'm so bored with myself
So very bored with myself
So bored with myself
Careful What You Wish For Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Snap your fingers and they'll come
Running to you awesome one
Getting lonely out in space
It's not such a special place
On the outside looking in
At the bag girl you've been
Isn't this what you always wanted?
Isn't this how you saw the view?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Might come true
You say catch me when I'll spin
As if we been through thick and thin
I don't think that you can stop
You still want what you ain't got
Such a stupid superstar
Yeah you are
Isn't this what you always wanted?
Isn't this how you saw the view?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Might come true
Isn't this what you always pictured?
Isn't this what you plan to do?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Tryin' to find the meaning of life
In a deeper shade of red on your lips
Tryin' to find the way to be loved
Without ever givin' a shit
But enjoy yeah while you can
After all the jagged ends
You come round again and again and again
Isn't this what you always wanted?
Isn't this how you saw the view?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Might come true
Isn't this what you always pictured?
Isn't this what you plan to do?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Might come true
Isn't this what you always wanted?
Running to you awesome one
Getting lonely out in space
It's not such a special place
On the outside looking in
At the bag girl you've been
Isn't this what you always wanted?
Isn't this how you saw the view?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true
Might come true
You say catch me when I'll spin
As if we been through thick and thin
I don't think that you can stop
You still want what you ain't got
Such a stupid superstar

Isn't this what you always wanted?
Isn't this how you saw the view?
Careful what you wish for
It just might come true

Isn't this what you always pictured?
Isn't this what you plan to do?
Careful what you wish for

Tryin' to find the meaning of life

Sin City Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
In this town of pain
You could be the lucky one
Fate turns on a dime
The only thing that will change
Are the lights when they get brighter
They replace the sun
Out the door, you get burned
And there is no way back in
You've got nothing
Snake eyes, the house always wins
[Chorus:]
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City
Where you are king
In this room of shame
You could sink this town
And breathe another day
The mirror faces you
You cannot look away
Blood is on your hand
The streets will be the same
Under your feet like quicksand
Touch the face where a kiss of hope can last
[Chorus]
Ooohhh where you are king ooohhh
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City
Just one kiss from the shadow
Will be the touch of an angel
Just one kiss is all that you need
If you never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
Where you are king
Just one kiss ohhhh-oh-oh-oh
Where you are king [repeat]
You could be the lucky one
Fate turns on a dime
The only thing that will change
Are the lights when they get brighter
They replace the sun
Out the door, you get burned
And there is no way back in
You've got nothing
Snake eyes, the house always wins
[Chorus:]
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City
Where you are king
In this room of shame
You could sink this town
And breathe another day
The mirror faces you
You cannot look away
Blood is on your hand
The streets will be the same
Under your feet like quicksand
Touch the face where a kiss of hope can last
[Chorus]
Ooohhh where you are king ooohhh
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City
Just one kiss from the shadow
Will be the touch of an angel
Just one kiss is all that you need
If you never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
Where you are king
Just one kiss ohhhh-oh-oh-oh
Where you are king [repeat]
Back To Nowhere Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
If you could have told me
I wouldn't find my way back home
Never would have closed the door I
Never would have left the phone unplugged
All night
Waiting for the sunrise to take me out of here
Back to nowhere
Wish you could have told me
Who knows if I, could have heard
Love don't make the reasons why
Some people just don't find the words to convey
The truth
Of the passion that they're feeling
Why do I keep falling back?
Back to nowhere
Wishing you could hold me
Like you used to in the dark
Lay your body next to mine
But does it anywhere, does your star
Are you sure, you're fine
But in case it's me you're missing
You should know I'd gladly go
Back to somewhere
Back to anywhere
I go
With you
I wouldn't find my way back home
Never would have closed the door I
Never would have left the phone unplugged
All night
Waiting for the sunrise to take me out of here
Back to nowhere
Wish you could have told me
Who knows if I, could have heard
Love don't make the reasons why
Some people just don't find the words to convey
The truth
Of the passion that they're feeling
Why do I keep falling back?
Back to nowhere
Wishing you could hold me
Like you used to in the dark
Lay your body next to mine
But does it anywhere, does your star
Are you sure, you're fine
But in case it's me you're missing
You should know I'd gladly go
Back to somewhere
Back to anywhere
I go
With you
Little Slice Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
In the decline of the civilization
I live in Hollywood
In this situation I'm in
Sometimes I wanna run away
I'm living on caffine
Stressing information
I turn to people who sing
For some inspiration
As the pressures mount each day
So my gay friend Larry
Took me off to Maui
Walk in the sunshine
Have a little chill-time
Silver rains came pouring down
Sitting at the ocean
See that it is tough
No matter what you have
It never seems enough
To let fate replace the doubt
[Chorus:]
We' all want
A little slice of heaven
To find our place in the sun
And I' want
A little slice of heaven
To find my place in the sun
Last May I decided
I wanna have a baby
Running against the clock
And a man, he says 'maybe?
As the window starts to close
A house in the country
A little piece of myself
Money in the bank
And a chance to take time
To breathe, just breathe slow
[Chorus]
Thought I met a broken man
When he said
I had it all, I lost it all!
But I wouldn't ever change a single thing
Cuz now I know how to go on ?
And on and on!?
Of my list of things
That change everyday
One thing's for sure
I'm safe to say
I live in Hollywood
In this situation I'm in
Sometimes I wanna run away
I'm living on caffine
Stressing information
I turn to people who sing
For some inspiration
As the pressures mount each day
So my gay friend Larry
Took me off to Maui
Walk in the sunshine
Have a little chill-time
Silver rains came pouring down
Sitting at the ocean
See that it is tough
No matter what you have
It never seems enough
To let fate replace the doubt
[Chorus:]
We' all want
A little slice of heaven
To find our place in the sun
And I' want
A little slice of heaven
To find my place in the sun
Last May I decided
I wanna have a baby
Running against the clock
And a man, he says 'maybe?
As the window starts to close
A house in the country
A little piece of myself
Money in the bank
And a chance to take time
To breathe, just breathe slow
[Chorus]
Thought I met a broken man
When he said
I had it all, I lost it all!
But I wouldn't ever change a single thing
Cuz now I know how to go on ?
And on and on!?
Of my list of things

One thing's for sure
I'm safe to say
Pick It Up Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Baby don't hang around
You're making me sad
I guess
I needed more than you had
And I don't need to run around
To see who I am
I guess
I'll find somebody who can
[Chorus:]
Pick it up (Pick it up)
Take it for the distance (Pick it up)
Well you let me down
Pick it up (Pick it up)
Help me find the pieces
You threw around
[repeat]
Baby you're a little old
For me anyway
I guess
You only wanted to play
And I'm not gonna wait around
'til you understand
I guess
I'll find somebody who can
[Repeat chorus...]
Oh Oh Why you gonna make me mad?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why you gonna make me sad?
Baby don't hang around
Can't you understand
I guess
I'm gonna find somebody who can
[Repeat chorus...]
You're making me sad
I guess
I needed more than you had
And I don't need to run around
To see who I am
I guess
I'll find somebody who can

Take it for the distance (Pick it up)
Well you let me down
Pick it up (Pick it up)
Help me find the pieces
You threw around

Baby you're a little old
For me anyway
I guess
You only wanted to play
And I'm not gonna wait around
'til you understand
I guess
I'll find somebody who can
[Repeat chorus...]
Oh Oh Why you gonna make me mad?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why you gonna make me sad?
Baby don't hang around
Can't you understand
I guess
I'm gonna find somebody who can
[Repeat chorus...]
The Look Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
East Side Johnny
Are you slummin' around
You're looking for some action
On the west side of town
Your Nassau tan and your skintight pants
Come on Johnny, do you wanna dance?
[Chorus:]
He, he's got the look
He's got the look
Me, by hook or crook
I'll get that boy tonight
He, he's got the look
He's got the look
Me, he's got me shook
I'll get that boy tonight
Every girl around
Has got her eyes on you
Watchin' every breath you take
Every move you do
With your sun-streaked hair
And your Hollywood face
Come on Johnny
Let's get out of this place
[Chorus]
Well, don't mind courage
Gonna' take my chance
Hello Johnny!
Wanna new romance?
[Repeat chorus]
Are you slummin' around

And your Hollywood face

Well, don't mind courage

You're Gonna Miss My Loving Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
You told me what I wanted to hear
So I fell in love with you
I believed that you were sincere
Now you've got me where you wanted me
Soon I'm gonna make you see
You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone
You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone
Had to keep a distance apart
But you swept me off my feet
Now you think you've won my heart
So you're taking me for granted now
Soon I'll turn the tables around
[Chorus:]
You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone
(You'll come crying to me)
You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone
Now you may feel secure
And you're as you please
But soon you'll be begging on your knees
[Repeat chorus]
So I fell in love with you
I believed that you were sincere

See It Through My Eyes Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
It's after midnight again
And we sleep in separate rooms
Wondering what went wrong
I know we tried to talk about
What it takes to talk things out
But we just go on and on
[Chorus:]
Baby, if you'd see it just once through my eyes
Maybe then we'd have a further chance to survive
Oh, baby if you'd see it just once through my eyes
I often think about the times
The world was yours and mine
All the things we should have done
And when I see it through your eyes
You know I start to cry
Please don't let me be the only one
[Chorus]
Oh, baby can't you see
I'm trying to give what you say to me
But you know
It's a two-way street
[Repeat chorus]
And we sleep in separate rooms
Wondering what went wrong
I know we tried to talk about
What it takes to talk things out
But we just go on and on
[Chorus:]
Baby, if you'd see it just once through my eyes
Maybe then we'd have a further chance to survive
Oh, baby if you'd see it just once through my eyes
I often think about the times
The world was yours and mine
All the things we should have done
And when I see it through your eyes
You know I start to cry
Please don't let me be the only one
[Chorus]
Oh, baby can't you see
I'm trying to give what you say to me
But you know
It's a two-way street
[Repeat chorus]
Thunder And Lightning Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
The trees are thin
And the sky is gray
I watch the rain fallin' on LA
Hey, I'm thinkin' of you
I don't know if I've lost or gained
But I know I'll never be the same
Hey, it's a little like
Yeah, just a little like
[Chorus:]
Thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
Striking my heart again
Thunder and lightning
Steamy midnights on the phone
You're telling me you're all alone
Then you say
"I'd like to see you"
I hear your voice and I'm hypnotized
I don't care if it's truth or lies
Hey, it's a little like
Yeah, just a little like
[Chorus]
Oh, is it pleasure or pain
Is the thunder just frightening
Is this the way love begins
When you're kissing me
It's like thunder and lightning
[Chorus]
Thunder and lightning
Striking my heart
Burning my soul
Thunder and lightning
And the sky is gray
I watch the rain fallin' on LA
Hey, I'm thinkin' of you
I don't know if I've lost or gained
But I know I'll never be the same
Hey, it's a little like
Yeah, just a little like
[Chorus:]
Thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
Striking my heart again
Thunder and lightning
Steamy midnights on the phone
You're telling me you're all alone
Then you say
"I'd like to see you"
I hear your voice and I'm hypnotized
I don't care if it's truth or lies
Hey, it's a little like
Yeah, just a little like
[Chorus]
Oh, is it pleasure or pain
Is the thunder just frightening
Is this the way love begins
When you're kissing me
It's like thunder and lightning
[Chorus]
Thunder and lightning
Striking my heart
Burning my soul
Thunder and lightning
Video Idol Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I hear a knock on my door
I hear the telephone ring
But I can't break away
I'm just ignoring all those things
My eyes are glued to my TV
You're up there making love to me
I fell in love with you
I'm watching your love scenes
I had to have you every night upon my TV screen
I rent your tape again and again
I never want this love to end
[Chorus:]
Video idol
Every night I escape with your video tape
You're my video idol
Everything will be right
When I watch you tonight
You're my video idol (video idol)
Now there's nobody else
I've got you to myself
You're my video idol
Whooooooooooooooooooooooo
My TV comes to life
When you come on the screen
I keep on watching though
I know I'm living in a dream
Tonight when all my work is through
I'll have my fantasy with you
[Repeat chorus]
Maybe someday I'm gonna meet you
And then our loving will be for real
But till then I'll have to pretend
About how good
How good it would feel (Hey!)
[Repeat chorus]
Video idol (Whoooooo)
I hear the telephone ring
But I can't break away
I'm just ignoring all those things
My eyes are glued to my TV

I had to have you every night upon my TV screen
I rent your tape again and again
I never want this love to end

Jessica Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Jessica
Oh Jessica
Jessica
Oh Jessica
She walks in and the fighting begins
It's the way she is
Doesn't matter to her
If you value your heart
You'll stay away from Jessica
And the games that she plays
You're a fool
If you go with her tonight
She'll make everything seem so right
[Chorus:]
Jessica, she'll never be the one you waited for
She'll only tell you lies and lead you o-on
Oh Jessica
You've never met a girl like this before
You'll never find a place where you belong
Oh Jessica
Take it from me
A woman knows
What a woman can do
To a man's lonely heart
It's the start and the end
If you don't stay away from Jessica
And the games that she plays
You're a fool
If you go with her tonight
She'll make everything seem so right
[Repeat chorus...]
Oh Jessica
Jessica
Oh Jessica
She walks in and the fighting begins
It's the way she is
Doesn't matter to her
If you value your heart
You'll stay away from Jessica
And the games that she plays
You're a fool
If you go with her tonight
She'll make everything seem so right
[Chorus:]
Jessica, she'll never be the one you waited for
She'll only tell you lies and lead you o-on
Oh Jessica
You've never met a girl like this before
You'll never find a place where you belong
Oh Jessica
Take it from me
A woman knows
What a woman can do
To a man's lonely heart
It's the start and the end
If you don't stay away from Jessica
And the games that she plays
You're a fool
If you go with her tonight
She'll make everything seem so right
[Repeat chorus...]
Company Man Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I get him up for work
Early in the morning
While he's getting dressed
I get the coffee going
Another busy day
Always in a hurry
Not much time for us
But he don't ever worry
He's a company man
Company man
Company man
Company man
Deadlines to be met
Schedules he must follow
Conference is tonight
Can't wait until tomorrow
Need that new report
First thing in the morning
All work and no play
Makes him awful boring
[Chorus:]
He's a company man
Company man (He don't understand)
Company man
Company man
Money, money, money
All you're thinking of
Money, money, money
Well what about LOVE?
Company man...
I'm alone at home
He's off in the city
Need a little time
Wonder why he can't see
When I don't get love
I just start being angry
Working day and night
What's he tryin' to hand me?
Company man
[Repeat chorus]
Early in the morning
While he's getting dressed

Your Attention Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Baby, what is wrong with you
Can't you see I want you around
And baby...
I'm not cryin'
I'm just dyin' for some touch
[Chorus:]
And if you don't give me your attention
I'll get attention from somebody else
I don't know what your intentions are
I have no patience to be put on the shelf
Mmm baby
You say you love me
Then you don't even know if I'm around
And baby
If you're not lying
Then keep trying or I'll be gone
[Chorus]
Baby, if you show me now
There may still be time
To change my heart
But baby
If you don't need me
You'll both leave me
When your cryin' starts
[Repeat chorus]
Can't you see I want you around
And baby...
I'm not cryin'
I'm just dyin' for some touch
[Chorus:]
And if you don't give me your attention
I'll get attention from somebody else
I don't know what your intentions are
I have no patience to be put on the shelf
Mmm baby
You say you love me
Then you don't even know if I'm around
And baby
If you're not lying
Then keep trying or I'll be gone
[Chorus]
Baby, if you show me now
There may still be time
To change my heart
But baby
If you don't need me
You'll both leave me
When your cryin' starts
[Repeat chorus]
Who's Fooling Who Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
You're so bad
You look so good
Charisma of a playboy
Who made it big in Hollywood
The money so fine
You're livin' high
The women, wine
Fly to the parties
But you won't be caught
Unless you bring a crowd
All the friends you bought
Cuz you wanna be sure
Your smile is seen
And your lookins good
[Chorus:]
I know I have become much stronger now these days
I don't need that kind of love
I'm on my way
Who-who's fooling who
No matter what you think or do
Oh, I can see right through
So who's fooling who
You don't even listen to me
When I SHOUT
Being at the top
Is all that you're concerned about
But someday baby
You're gonna be meeting me again
Got two faces for every move
You've done it for so long
They all look good on you
But it's too late baby
You looked in the mirror too long again
[Repeat chorus]
You look so good
Charisma of a playboy
Who made it big in Hollywood

You're livin' high

I Need Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I need some good luck; I need a best friend
I need a rough dog; I need a mountain
I need some new clothes, a TV, a cause
A trip to Nirvana, the thrill of applause
I need a wet kiss, I need to confess
I need a vision, religion
The right to be silent, and then to be heard
A week on an island, a diet that works
I need a dose of the Bible
Another course in survival
Just talkin' 'bout the essentials
It makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
That's all I need, see how easy I am to please
That's all I need, see how easy I am
I need some money, more money, and more time
A strong cup of coffee, a haircut, a lifeline
A stranger to trust me, my father to love me
Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rundgren
I need a guitar, to do it on all fours
Cool friends, weekends, and someone to die for
When I'm alone on my couch, nothing can settle me down
I'm adding on to my list, it makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
I need a Guru, I need to chill
I need a Mercedes 280SL
Yeah, that'll fix it, I'll be complete
I need a, I need a, I need a
That's all I need, see how easy I am to please
That's all I need, maybe then I will be complete
That's all I need, I'm not asking for everything
That's all I need, see how easy I am, I am
I need a rough dog; I need a mountain
I need some new clothes, a TV, a cause
A trip to Nirvana, the thrill of applause
I need a wet kiss, I need to confess
I need a vision, religion
The right to be silent, and then to be heard
A week on an island, a diet that works
I need a dose of the Bible
Another course in survival
Just talkin' 'bout the essentials
It makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
That's all I need, see how easy I am to please
That's all I need, see how easy I am
I need some money, more money, and more time
A strong cup of coffee, a haircut, a lifeline
A stranger to trust me, my father to love me
Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rundgren
I need a guitar, to do it on all fours
Cool friends, weekends, and someone to die for
When I'm alone on my couch, nothing can settle me down
I'm adding on to my list, it makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
I need a Guru, I need to chill
I need a Mercedes 280SL
Yeah, that'll fix it, I'll be complete
I need a, I need a, I need a
That's all I need, see how easy I am to please
That's all I need, maybe then I will be complete
That's all I need, I'm not asking for everything
That's all I need, see how easy I am, I am
Bitch Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
[Chorus:]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
[Chorus]
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
[Chorus:]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
[Chorus]
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Somedays Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Some days goes your way
You're on a roll you can't explain
And then it all goes down the drain
Your cat's hit by a car
The ATM eats your card
You're wondering what changed from yesterday
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from just spinning out
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days you can't explain
My best friend and me one night
Were drinkin' at Pete's on Crescent Height
Just like that we end up in a fight
Like a yo-yo up and down
You're headin' north, you end up south
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from just spinning out
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days are better than others
You can't explain some days away
Someday
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from spinning out
Some days are better
Some days are never
Some days, whatever
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days are better than others
Some days you just can't get out
Someday...
You're on a roll you can't explain
And then it all goes down the drain
Your cat's hit by a car
The ATM eats your card
You're wondering what changed from yesterday
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from just spinning out
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days you can't explain
My best friend and me one night
Were drinkin' at Pete's on Crescent Height
Just like that we end up in a fight
Like a yo-yo up and down
You're headin' north, you end up south
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from just spinning out
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days are better than others
You can't explain some days away
Someday
Save me from, from going mental
Save me from spinning out
Some days are better
Some days are never
Some days, whatever
Some days are better than lovers
Some days you just can't figure out
Some days are better than others
Some days you just can't get out
Someday...
Watched You Fall Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
You were my wild companion
We were forever high, high, high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we died
You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away
[Chorus:]
I watched you fall
I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya
Like everybody else who watched you fall
Say they love you but they're laughing
When you crawl
It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else
No one can do this for you
Straighten your head, fix your faith
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away
[Chorus]
Did I hear you, did I try
Can I forgive myself for not standing by
[Chorus]
I was blind to ya
Was lying to you
Said I love you but I'm laughing
When you crawl
Was lying to ya
You fall
I watched you fall
I watched you
We were forever high, high, high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we died
You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away
[Chorus:]
I watched you fall
I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya
Like everybody else who watched you fall
Say they love you but they're laughing
When you crawl
It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else
No one can do this for you
Straighten your head, fix your faith
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away
[Chorus]
Did I hear you, did I try
Can I forgive myself for not standing by
[Chorus]
I was blind to ya
Was lying to you
Said I love you but I'm laughing
When you crawl
Was lying to ya
You fall
I watched you fall
I watched you
Pollyanne Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Here we go again, same old argument
You're callin' me Miss Pollyanne
You see the world as cruel, and being mad is cool
You think that I don't give a damn
[Chorus:]
You don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep
You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show you signs of peace
Love ain't a dyin' art
As far as I can see
Oh, sentimental me
Fist up in the air
Mine used to be up there
You only give yourself away
Paint your roses black and blue
Use the fuck word I can too
When I have nothing else to say
[Chorus (repeat)]
Oh, sentimental me
Sentimental me
Here we go again
We may never change
So you can call me Pollyanne
You're callin' me Miss Pollyanne
You see the world as cruel, and being mad is cool
You think that I don't give a damn
[Chorus:]
You don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep
You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show you signs of peace
Love ain't a dyin' art
As far as I can see
Oh, sentimental me
Fist up in the air
Mine used to be up there
You only give yourself away
Paint your roses black and blue
Use the fuck word I can too
When I have nothing else to say
[Chorus (repeat)]
Oh, sentimental me
Sentimental me
Here we go again
We may never change
So you can call me Pollyanne
Shatter Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Prick of a pin, no blood on me
I've been tested, total wasted, in too deep
To the zone, I retreat
What doesn't kill ya makes you strong eventually
Blade to my skin, blurring the edge
Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I've taken every hairpin curve by now
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
Promised the world, dropped in a pool
Was it fun, did you enjoy acting so cool
Well, here's the thing, still have my head
I stumble hard but I'm not sleepin' in your bed
Saved by the sun, no shame on me
We come out screaming it's the only time we're free
I just breathe out, I just breathe in
I ride the wave until I come again
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Cuz I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it close
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Tested, wasted, over and over
I may crack but it doesn't matter
In the darkness I am the shatter
Shake down, twisted and tied
It's amusing that I'm doing fine
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I may crack, but I'll never shatter
Cuz I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it close
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
I've been tested, total wasted, in too deep
To the zone, I retreat
What doesn't kill ya makes you strong eventually
Blade to my skin, blurring the edge
Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I've taken every hairpin curve by now
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
Promised the world, dropped in a pool
Was it fun, did you enjoy acting so cool
Well, here's the thing, still have my head
I stumble hard but I'm not sleepin' in your bed
Saved by the sun, no shame on me
We come out screaming it's the only time we're free
I just breathe out, I just breathe in
I ride the wave until I come again
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Cuz I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it close
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Tested, wasted, over and over
I may crack but it doesn't matter
In the darkness I am the shatter
Shake down, twisted and tied
It's amusing that I'm doing fine
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I may crack, but I'll never shatter
Cuz I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it close
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
My Little Town Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
We lock the doors at night, all the sirens scream
I don't drive my car, insurance is too high
I live here in the city, my hometown's far away
I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car
The stars come out at night, you see them on the strip
Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this
I'll never leave the small town girl behind
The place where I come from is with me all the time
[Chorus:]
Oh, you can walk the streets
When the sun goes down in my little town
You don't need defenses
When the sun goes down in my little town
Back home on the street, after ten at night
Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on
She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good health
You don't hear the horn when Mrs. Avery walks her dog
All I ever wanted was a view of city lights
Break away from here, leave behind the quiet nights
Spend half your life, trying to make a change
Spend the other half trying to get back again
[Chorus]
Look down the road, look up the highway
Look past the fences, look at the faces
What do you have on the other side
[Chorus]
I don't drive my car, insurance is too high
I live here in the city, my hometown's far away
I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car
The stars come out at night, you see them on the strip
Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this
I'll never leave the small town girl behind
The place where I come from is with me all the time
[Chorus:]
Oh, you can walk the streets
When the sun goes down in my little town
You don't need defenses
When the sun goes down in my little town
Back home on the street, after ten at night
Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on
She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good health
You don't hear the horn when Mrs. Avery walks her dog
All I ever wanted was a view of city lights
Break away from here, leave behind the quiet nights
Spend half your life, trying to make a change
Spend the other half trying to get back again
[Chorus]
Look down the road, look up the highway
Look past the fences, look at the faces
What do you have on the other side
[Chorus]
What Would Happen Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Electricity, eye to eye
Hey don't I know you
I can't speak
Stripped my senses
On the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word
[Chorus:]
What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
The room is spinning out of control
Act like you didn't notice
Brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit
Ring on my finger
You're such a moral, moral man
You throw it away, no question
Will I pretend I'm innocent
[Chorus]
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumbling
Don't know if I can turn away
[Chorus]
Hey don't I know you
I can't speak
Stripped my senses
On the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word
[Chorus:]
What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
The room is spinning out of control
Act like you didn't notice
Brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit
Ring on my finger
You're such a moral, moral man
You throw it away, no question
Will I pretend I'm innocent
[Chorus]
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumbling
Don't know if I can turn away
[Chorus]
It Don't Get Better Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Woke up this morning with my head so heavy
Thought about leavin' on the next train comin'
Sometimes it gets so easy runnin' from town to town
But changin' beds won't change this feelin'
That I'm gonna drown
Too many hearts are broken, we never ask why
Too many sunsets, just passin' us by
Come on down, don't be shy
Do you wanna be happy or you wanna be right
[Chorus:]
It don't get much better than this
There's nowhere left to run to
No use worryin' 'bout what you missed
'Cause here it is baby
It don't get better than this
We talk and talk and never know what it means
It really doesn't matter 'cause
Nothing's ever what it seems
All I ever wanted is here with you
But sometimes baby I get
Wrapped up and confused
Let's go on down to the edge of the sand
Take some time, take my hand
So much here we don't understand
So kiss me like the world's gonna end
[Chorus]
Thought about leavin' on the next train comin'
Sometimes it gets so easy runnin' from town to town
But changin' beds won't change this feelin'
That I'm gonna drown
Too many hearts are broken, we never ask why
Too many sunsets, just passin' us by
Come on down, don't be shy
Do you wanna be happy or you wanna be right
[Chorus:]
It don't get much better than this
There's nowhere left to run to
No use worryin' 'bout what you missed
'Cause here it is baby
It don't get better than this
We talk and talk and never know what it means
It really doesn't matter 'cause
Nothing's ever what it seems
All I ever wanted is here with you
But sometimes baby I get
Wrapped up and confused
Let's go on down to the edge of the sand
Take some time, take my hand
So much here we don't understand
So kiss me like the world's gonna end
[Chorus]
Birthday Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
When's your birthday

Stop Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
It's seven in the morning and you're walkin'
Out the door, you got no time for coffee
And I'm standing here rememberin'
When my kisses made you late
Only take a minute for my morning meditation
But I'm on the phone, call waiting, click
And I'm under an invasion
And I feel like I'm a spinning ball in a lottery cage
If we ain't making love, how can we be lovers
Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers
Before it gets too late, I'm gonna say
[Chorus:]
Ooh, stop what you're doin' and love me now
Ooh, I'm makin' my move, come on and love me now
I come home so tired, wanna put my feet up
You watch Letterman and eat something old I heat up
And we both fall asleep before the rooster starts to crow
No time to fight, we pretend love is so sweet
When all we're missin' is what's between the sheets
We used to find an hour between the stop and go
Whatever happened to staying up all night
When the bed became an island, it was just you and I
Our troubles would slip away, when you'd say
[Chorus]
Time, time
Time, time, time
All we need a little time
Just you and I
Magic ride
[Chorus]
Out the door, you got no time for coffee
And I'm standing here rememberin'
When my kisses made you late
Only take a minute for my morning meditation
But I'm on the phone, call waiting, click
And I'm under an invasion
And I feel like I'm a spinning ball in a lottery cage
If we ain't making love, how can we be lovers
Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers
Before it gets too late, I'm gonna say
[Chorus:]
Ooh, stop what you're doin' and love me now
Ooh, I'm makin' my move, come on and love me now
I come home so tired, wanna put my feet up
You watch Letterman and eat something old I heat up
And we both fall asleep before the rooster starts to crow
No time to fight, we pretend love is so sweet
When all we're missin' is what's between the sheets
We used to find an hour between the stop and go
Whatever happened to staying up all night
When the bed became an island, it was just you and I
Our troubles would slip away, when you'd say
[Chorus]
Time, time
Time, time, time
All we need a little time
Just you and I
Magic ride
[Chorus]
Wash My Hands Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Wash my hands, of crimes
Pour the water over, my skin, my spine
Cleanse my soul and ease my mind
I've been fixed on all the damage done
Why do I always forget how far I've come
[Chorus:]
I'm done dying for the past
I'm done dyin' for the past
Say all's forgiven now
Let's call it even, shall we
Can't you judge me for my love and not mistakes I've made
I swear by who I am and not by yesterday
[Chorus]
In between black and white I disappear
Circle round the stone until I landed here
[Chorus]
Pour the water over, my skin, my spine
Cleanse my soul and ease my mind
I've been fixed on all the damage done
Why do I always forget how far I've come
[Chorus:]
I'm done dying for the past
I'm done dyin' for the past
Say all's forgiven now
Let's call it even, shall we
Can't you judge me for my love and not mistakes I've made
I swear by who I am and not by yesterday
[Chorus]
In between black and white I disappear
Circle round the stone until I landed here
[Chorus]
Down By The River Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
We hit Starbucks, roll down the top
It's the last time Carrie and I will drive to the beach
'Cuz we think it's time to grow up
Well, I've never been good at that
I wanna live for today, I have such good intentions
And my dreams are no less than that of yesterday
Does anyone really know where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Who knows where it may lead, yeah?
The radio's blasting and we're singing
And I'm feeling unstoppable
When did I let life become so damn hard?
Well, I'm heading to what dreams are made of
I won't turn my back to the stars of yesterday
Does anyone really know where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Does anybody really know where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Who knows where we may be?
Meet me where we can dream, meet me
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Meet me where we can dream, yeah
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
It's the last time Carrie and I will drive to the beach
'Cuz we think it's time to grow up
Well, I've never been good at that
I wanna live for today, I have such good intentions
And my dreams are no less than that of yesterday
Does anyone really know where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Who knows where it may lead, yeah?

Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Does anybody really know where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Everybody's got a dream, down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream by the river
Who knows where we may be?
Meet me where we can dream, meet me
Meet me where we can dream, down by the river
Meet me where we can dream, yeah
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Meet me where we can dream
Lay Down Your Arms Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
Your words are quick, and they cut so deep
The walls go up, waiting here, wishing here, wishing here, waiting
You forget I know your tender spots, I can hurt you too,
But I'm the one loving you, so come on and love me
[Chorus:]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay with me
So close then the moment's shattered, like nothing mattered
Pushing me, pulling you, pulling me, pushing
Don't want to tear our love apart, I want to give my heart
Can't we start living here, giving
[Chorus]
So we are in love, so we are at war
But we can be on the same side
[repeat chorus]
The walls go up, waiting here, wishing here, wishing here, waiting
You forget I know your tender spots, I can hurt you too,
But I'm the one loving you, so come on and love me
[Chorus:]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay with me
So close then the moment's shattered, like nothing mattered
Pushing me, pulling you, pulling me, pushing
Don't want to tear our love apart, I want to give my heart
Can't we start living here, giving
[Chorus]
So we are in love, so we are at war
But we can be on the same side
[repeat chorus]
When The Sun Goes Down Lyrics – Meredith Brooks
When the sun goes down, when the night star falls
I can see you come, I can hear you call
In every corner of the world, in every boy and every girl
There lives a hunger to be free
With every passion that I feel, and every secret I reveal
Oh let the night unchain my heart
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul [repeat]
When the sun goes down, when the night star falls
I can see you come, I can hear you call
Come meet me underneath the stars, and you can show me who you are
Shadows of love under the moon
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul [repeat]
When the sun goes down, when the city sleeps
We can be ourselves, in this land of dreams [repeat...]
When the sun goes down
I can see you come, I can hear you call
In every corner of the world, in every boy and every girl
There lives a hunger to be free
With every passion that I feel, and every secret I reveal
Oh let the night unchain my heart
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul [repeat]
When the sun goes down, when the night star falls
I can see you come, I can hear you call
Come meet me underneath the stars, and you can show me who you are
Shadows of love under the moon
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul [repeat]
When the sun goes down, when the city sleeps
We can be ourselves, in this land of dreams [repeat...]
When the sun goes down
