Frankie & Johnny |
|
[from "A Prairie Home Companion" soundtrack]
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
But he was doin' her wrong
He was doin' her wrong in a bad way
But she was good and strong
He was her man, but he was a jerk
Was in a hotel with Nellie Blye
And the gun went rooty-toot-toot
Shot the bastard in the heart
And ruined his nice suit
He was her man, but he was no damn good
So they took him up to the graveyard
And stuck him in the dirt
Which was oh-so very sad,
And a waste of a nice clean shirt
He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong
He had no idea what happened
He was waving hello to God
He died from eating squirrel,
And they laid him in the sun
He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong
So that was Frankie and Johnny
And that's the end of my song
She put a hose in his tailpipe
'Cause he had done her wrong
He was her man, and that's all she wrote

01 First
Is that someone you used to date
Why she's hanging around here, what's her story
Doesn't she know that its too late
That the party is over and the car is for me
Why don't u tell her what's been going on
Cuz she seems to be dreaming instead of just leaving
If you don't have the heart to fill her in
Then just step aside and let me lay it on the line
Cuz your mine
And tonight you don't revolve around her
Your mine
And this time I'm gonna scream a little louder
[Chorus:]
Don't wanna be like
Every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
Cuz when I see you something inside me burns
Then I realize I wanna come first
I wanna come first
You look at me and I just die
Its like heaven arriving in my mind
And I cant believe all this jealousy
I used to be a girl who could let a guy breathe
But your mine
And tonight you revolve around me
Your mine
And this time I'm gonna get a little louder
Don't wanna be like
Every other girl in the world
Like every other one who wants you
Cuz when I see you something inside me burn
And then I realize I wanna come first
(I wanna come first [2x])
Don't wanna be like every girl who's tried to get you
I wanna be the one who's never sorry that she met you
I wanna come first [2x]
Hey!
[Chorus 2x]
: first |
Nobody 'Til You |
|
02 Nobody 'Til You
I never walked on water never saw
A reason to be going out that far
I never found a star that made a wish
But now the sky is listening to my hart
They can brake me, make me
If they want they can chase me
Love me, Hate me I dont care anymore
[Chorus:]
Till you, I was nothing but lonely nights
There was nothing but sad goodbye's
For me to fall through
Come true my dreams are awakening
Somebody is making me
The only one in the room
What nobody could do,
Nobody till you...
And the more you talk the less I fear
No matter what you say we are still in the same hemisphere
And there's comfort in just knowing that
Where ever I go a part of me is staying here with you
So take me shake me
If you want you can chase me
Love me for me and stay away from the door
[Chorus]
What kind of world would it be
If you ever went away
Oh and I, I can't go back to what
I had cuz it will never be the same
[Chorus 2x]
: nobody 'til you |
Symptoms Of You |
|
03 Symptoms Of You
There a good kind of pain
And insane kinda sane (when I'm around you [2x])
There a chill in the heat
Feel the sky at my feet cuz I adore you
I cant ignore you
[Chorus:]
I'm not ill I don't need to
Take a pill to fix what you do
Cure can't come through
Cuz baby all I do is suffer from
The symptoms of you
There is a left kinda right
There is a blind kinda sight
Looking at you [2x]
There is no light in the moon and its winter in June
When I'm without you [2x]
[Chorus]
And it trips me off my feet
I think I'm falling in too deep
Do you feel it too
[Chorus 2x]
: symptoms of you |
Speak |
|
04 Speak
[Whisper:] Speak speak speak your heart flow
Everybody's got a point of view
And the right to their own opinion
So don't be scared of what I'm gonna do
When you let me know your intuition
So what makes you think
That I won't get it
So what makes you think that
I won't get your love tonight
[Chorus:]
Speak come on and let it out
Give it to me you know that I can take it
Speak because the more you say the more I'm at ease
Come on don't keep me waiting now
I don't wanna guess, not a test, tell me what your thinking
Keep it real, no big deal
Tell me what your dreaming
Speak let it out... Breathe
[Whisper:] Speak uh straight from your heart
It cant be wrong it can only be right
Just show me what you are feeling
You'll be surprised that how easy it is
Just open up its so healing
So what makes you think that I won't get it
So what makes you think that I won't get your love tonight.
[Chorus]
[Whisper:] Speak uh straight from your heart
You gotta let it out [2x]
[Parts of Chorus and chorus full 2x]
C'mon and let it out
C'mon and let it out..
(Speak) Because the more you say the more I'm at ease
(C'mon and let it out
C'mon and let it out

Over |
|
05 Over
I watched the walls around me crumble
But its not like I won't build them up again
So here's your last chance for redemption
So take it while it lasts because it will end
And my tears are turning into time I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
[Chorus:]
I cant live without you
Can't breathe without you I dream about you honestly
Tell me that its over
Because if the world is spinning and I'm still living
It wont be right if were not in it together
Tell me that it's over
And I'll be the first to go
Don't want to be the last to know
I won't be the one to chase you
But at the same time you're the heart that I call home
I'm always stuck with these emotions
And the more I try to feel the less I'm whole
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
[Chorus]
My tears are turning into time
I've wasted trying to find a reason for goodbye
[Chorus]
Tell me that it's over
Over
Honestly tell me
Honestly tell me
Don't tell me that its over
Don't tell me that its over..
: over |
Something I Never Had |
|
06 Something I Never Had
Do you see me
Do you feel me like I feel you
Call your number
I can not get through
You don't hear me and I dont understand
When I reach out I dont find your hand
Were they wasted words and did they mean a thing
And all our precious time but I still feel so in between
[Chorus:]
Some day I just keep pretending
That you'll stay dreaming of a diffrent ending
I wanna hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had
I keep telling myself things can turn around with time
And if I wait it out you could always change your mind
Like a fairy tale where it works out in the end
Can I close my eyes have you lying here again
Then I come back down
Then I fade back in
Then I realize its just what might have been.
[chorus]
Am I a shadow on your wall
Am I anything at all
Anything to you
Am I a secret that you keep
Do you dream me while your sleeping after all
Some day I just keep pretending
That you'll stay dreaming of a diffrent ending
I wanna hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had
That I never had
I wanna hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had
You dont see me, you dont feel me like I feel you
: something i never had |
Anything But Me |
|
07 Anything But Me
Nobody told me that I'd be happy faces
Just trying to erase the traces
What came before me
A girl that I used to see somewhere buried deep
She's falling asleep and I trying to wake her set her free
[Chorus:]
Now is a never ending thing
One moment turns into another
Before I've had time to to run from all the other ones
And its so hard to live a dream
When the everything that they want you to be
Is anything but me
So much confusion circling inside my head
What this one and that one said
Its all an illusion
Cuz I'm still the same person no matter how fast I run
I'm trying to hold on to where it is I've come from
[Chorus]
Anything but me
I'm trying to hold on to where it is I come from
[Chorus]
: anything but me |
Disconnected |
|
08 Disconnected
Sleeping awake and awake when I'm sleeping
I've got a dry kinda thirst when drenched
On sunny days all I can see is the shadow
And I'm not above being under
And I'm at the brink though I know that I'm empty
And I always hide when its my turn to seek
My only believe is not to have faith in believing
Before I begin I'm over
[chorus]
(Disconnected)
Broken off again
And I'm only not lonely when I'm lonely by myself
(Disconnected)
Numb in the pain again I always back track forward
Cuz all in all I'm Disconnected
Quietly loud while I'm noisily silent
Keep holding my breath when I'm trying to breathe
Swimming against all of my waves and the rapids
I only win when I'm losing
[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life sedated
Cuz I love driving myself away
Disfunctionally sane don't give a damn
I cant comprehend what I understand
Disconnected
Numb in the pain again I always back track forward
Cuz all in all I'm Disconnected
Broken off again
And I'm only not lonely when I'm lonely by myself
Numb in the pain again I always back track forward
Cuz all in all I'm Disconnected
: disconnected |
To Know Your Name |
|
09 To Know Your Name
I know your name
But I won't tell
We must keep this secret well
Privacy's hard to find
Eyes are watching all the time
[Chorus:]
Everybody wants to know our love
Everybody talks about our love
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Everybody needs to criticize
None of them are even in our lives
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Cant get out cant get through
Need to be alone with you
Must escape or are we allowed no part of privacy
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to know our love
Everybody talks about our love
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Everybody needs to criticize
None of them are even in our lives
Everybody wants to know your name
To know your name
Can the boys with the zoom give the girls just second
See the man that I love needs a little sweet attention
I don't want to seem harsh but this girl's under pressure
I can't go through losing love again
Boy I need to breathe just one breath
Walls are closing in so fast
Privacy is hard to find, eyes are watching all the time
[Chorus x2]
: to know your name |
Very Last Moment In Time |
|
10 Very Last Moment In Time
Time stops for noone
And moves on unaware
It's easy not to notice, it's easy not to care
Conversation circles
This money changing hands
I've been standing in the middle
I've been caught up in this spin
Out of the confusion, the static and the noise
You got my attention,
You make me wanna
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you, touch you, love you
Like it's the very last moment in time
It seems like I woke up beneath a different sky
And I'm drunk on what I'm seeing through these open eyes
All the little ways you move me, all the places you exposed
The illusion I held on to,
You've got me letting go
I just wanna stay here
Soaking up the rain falling all around me
Wash the world away
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you, touch you, love you
Like it's the very last moment in time
Let me feel you next to me
Let me taste the breath you breathe
Open up this space between us
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you, touch you, love you
Like it's the very last moment in time
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you, touch you, love you
Like it's the very last moment in time
: very last moment in time |
