Jann Arden Album

Every tear you cry
every doubt you have
all of these things will pass away
All of your big mistakes
your little old heart would break
wishing that I would take them back
Write down the things you don't want,
burn them in a glass
Write down the things you dream of,
make a paper plane that flies to heaven

And buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me, baby.
Or drive your car all night,
by just starlight,
to Canada
That's where I'll be waiting.

All of the empty rooms,
All of the silent space,
every warm embrace is you.
Nothing is like it was,
there's nobody here but us,
I have been filled right up with this

Write down the words of sadness,
burn them in a cup
Write down the things you've wanted,
throw them to the wind that's soaring up to heaven

And buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me,baby.
Or drive your car all night,
By just starlight,
to Canada
Oh, buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me,baby
Or drive your car all night,
by just starlight, to Canada
That's where I'll be waiting.

I love you more than anything
I loved you more than anyone
You were the peaches in my cream
You were my setting sun

You were my favorite hockey card
You were my smoky little bar
You were my cherry popsicle
You'll never ever know

I was so in love I had lost myself
I was so far gone I could not get out
I had disappeared I had slipped away
I was so in love with you baby

You were my chocolate covered heart
You were my sweetest honey bee
You were my flashlight in the dark
You were my cherry tree

I took you in like oxygen
I let you drive my brand new car
You were like no one I'd ever seen
Oh baby, you became my arms

Chorus

take your coat and shoes off
come and sit beside me
we could talk for hours
or we could just do nothing

four billion people surround us
so many souls lose their way
all that we have is each other
and that's all i've ever wanted
yeah, yeah, yeah'

don't you think it's funny
tell me what the point is
we could die tomorrow
might as well enjoy this

four billion people surround us
so many souls lose their way
all that we have is each other
and that's all i've ever wanted
yeah, yeah, yeah'

give me all your disappointments
i'll give you my secrets
we could lay our heads down
or be forever sleepless

four billion people surround us
so many souls lose their way
all that we have is each other
and that's all i've ever wanted
yeah, yeah, yeah'

I've made more mistakes then I can count upon my finger tips
I have been ashamed and I have felt as guilty as all sin
Counting every tear that drops will not account for any loss
I'll let the past remain behind me now

Fill it up with goodness
I'll drink it down with love
Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through
So far so good

I have wished on every star that shot across my broken heart
I am still amazed that you came true
I have kissed a hundred lips but none of them compare to this
I have found myself inside of you

You forgive my sad regrets
And I forgive myself
Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through

Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through
I love you

Why are you weeping
Yes, I still love you
We fight and fall down
And mend

Here drink some water
Soon you'll feel better
I know we have hope
My love

Whatever it was is lost
Whatever you've said forgotten

Why don't we lay down
Talk in the morning
Don't cry, just close your eyes
And mend

Whatever is was is lost
Whatever you've said forgotten

Why are you weeping
Yes, I still love you
We fight and fall down
And fall down
And mend

I Only Wanted Sex

cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry

the hardest part of goodbye
the hardest part of all
i say those words to you now
and i watch you crawl back to me
where is your dignity
oh where is your dignity

i make you promises and
i break them all apart
i'm lying like a sidewalk
a typical loves me, loves me not
a typical loves me, loves me not
a typical loves me, loves me not

i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
sex

cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby

the hardest part of goodbye
is moving all your stuff
hey what's the name of that one guy
i sure could use his pick up truck
i surely could use his pick up truck
i surely could use his pick up truck

i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
sex
i only wanted
i only wanted sex

I know you're sleeping
I hope you're dreaming all about us
I can remember your body moving
Through the shadows

I've never been so in love
I thank God above that I found you darling
And I know it's a miracle
I can see into everything we are

I can't remember, my past is over
I've found happiness
I have surrendered all of my yesterdays
For just one taste of this

I hear your heartbeat
It's in my memory just like sugar
Kiss me like candy
As warm as summer, sweet as kindness

I have never been so far gone
I believe in God, I believe in you
And I know when I close my eyes
I will see the light come on shinin' through

I can't remember, my past is over
I've found happiness
I have surrendered all of my yesterdays
For just one taste of this

I can sleep at last in your arms
All I want is for you to love me back

I can't remember, my past is over
I've found happiness
I have surrendered all of my yesterdays
For just one taste of this

I can't remember, my past is over
I've found happiness
I have surrendered all of my yesterdays
For just one taste of this

Tell me I will never die
Take away my pain
Rock me gently in your arms
Say that I'll remain in your keeping

Brush the hair out from my eyes
Read me a good story
Kiss my fingertips goodnight
Say that I can stay in your company

And I know this much is true
I have lived inside of you
You have always seen me through
While I am peacefully sleeping

You have always been my friend
I can see you beauty shining
I will love you 'til the end
Long will I remain in your keeping

And I know this much is true
I have lived inside of you
You have always seen me through
While I am peacefully sleeping

While I am peacefully sleep...

Drinking whiskey from an open toe shoe
Farm hand and an evening glove
Puttin' on a kiss that will last until dawn
I'm going to town with my best dress on

Bare buttin' on an apple crate bench
Do my face in the loft of the barn
I touch myself on the old chaise lounge
I'm going to town with my best dress on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so pretty
Gonna ask myself to my prom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all sexy
Going to town with my best dress on (2 x's)

Double clutching in my high heel shoes
Check the mirror and I blow myself a kiss
Turn up the radio 'cause they're playing my
favorite song
I'm going to town with my best dress on
Going to town with my best dress on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so pretty
Gonna ask myself to my prom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all sexy
Going to town with my best dress on (2 x's)

I'm going to town with my best dress on (2 x's)

Black babies running for the candy truck in Africa
See them kicking up the dust from miles away
I'm drinking Evian and wondering where the hell I am
Looking for the preacher man to just translate
To just translate (2 x's)

We're eating chicken feet
Swear it kind of tastes like meat
Waiting for the Masai chief to take us in
Flies cover up his face
Makes you want to look away
Cannot take another day beneath this heat
Beneath this heat

The world is falling apart
And I know in my heart,
I don't know what to do about it
The world is bigger than me
And I do not believe another human being
On the planet
The world, the world needs love
Love and nothing else can save us now

Black babies running from a big hairy elephant
I wish that I had the guts to save the day
Here come the preacher man he's telling
Us to run like mad
Leave everything you have and follow me
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Some disease

i've been on my hands and knees
crawling towards eternity
looking for the piece of me that always got away
and i've been so afraid to stand my ground
so i simply shut my mouth
close my eyes, bite my lip
and swallow every tear

i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself all day long
all day long

look inside my body baby
see the twists and turns inside me
every blinding curve that drives you right around the bend
i know you've had it up to there with all my chaos and confusion
i am living a delusion and i do not give a damn

i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself
for myself


for myself
for myself

look into my heart and tell me i am a complete disaster
wasn't that what you were after
always thought it was
wasn't i complete desire
filthy ash without the fire
you could not have been much higher without some kind of drug

i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself…for myself
i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself
all day long
i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself…for myself
i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself

i need to tell you something
i want to get this off of me
this girl is out to hurt you
and she is really nasty
janeen will poke your eyes out
janeen will tear your heart apart

i want to tell you something
i need to get the words out
this girl is gonna get you and she will stop at nothing
janeen will sink her teeth in
so deeply into your skin
janeen will make you feel like dying

oh… she's in the movies
oh… she's on the screen
oh… she's like a famous person
oh… janeen

i saw her on the tv


she was completely stupid
her hair was a disaster
her shirt was really putrid
janeen is nothing pretty
she looks like nothing really

she has these awful glasses
she treats us all like assholes
janeen is so ungrateful
janeen's a heartless bastard
janeen will make you feel like dying

oh… she's in the movies
oh… she's on the screen
oh… just like a famous person
oh… janeen
janeen
janeen
