Jann Arden Album

Hide your heart under the bed
And lock your secret drawer
Wash the angels from your head
Won't need them anymore
Love is a demon and
You're the one he's coming for
Oh my Lord

He's bringing sweet salvation
Let temptation take him in
He's every fear and every hope
And every single sin
He is the universe the love
You've been imagining
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord

And I am ashes
I am Jesus
I am precious
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

Put a chair against the door
And turn the lights down low
Write a letter to yourself
No one will ever know
Tell them all about the girl
Who just refused to fall
Oh my Lord

He is the very breath
You feel inside your lungs at night
He is the bitter wind
Who's drying up your appetite
He is the darkness
That seeps into your fading light
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord

And I am ashes
I am Jesus
I am precious
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

I am worthless sounds
Compared to all your perfect words
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

Wash the angels from your head
Won't need them anymore
Hide your heart under the bed
And lock your secret drawer
Love is the demon
And you're the one he's coming for
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Could I be your girl?
Could I be your girl?

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.

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell,
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
mmmmm

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips,
Longs to hold you tight

Oh I am just a friend,
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of makin' love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by,
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky girl
Oh you will never know,
The one who loves you so,
Well, you don't know me

You give your hand to me,
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky girl
Oh you will never know,
The one who loves you so,
Cause you don't know me
Ohhhhh, no you don't know me
Oooooh, you don't know me.

No I will not lay down
I will not live my life like a ghost in this town
I am not lonely swear to God I'm just alone

I'm back on my feet
I can just close my eyes and forget everything
My house is empty, every memory blown away

Oh the sound of the wind through my bones
makes me laugh
at all the bodies I kissed and never knew
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
falling down to the floor
just barely out of reach from me

No I will not go back
every word thats been hiding inside of my head
is running blindly look behind me nothing's left

I can sit in a room
I can hear myself breathing and be quite amused
life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin

Oh the sound of the wind through my heart
makes me glad
for all the ones that never knew my name
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy
I had to go
could not stay here
they were always out of reach from me

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've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet live
Oh, I've had the sun on my face
I had fallen to my knees and been amazed
I have walked beneath the brilliance of a perfect sky

Oh I am saved
Saved

Lived a good life
Lived a sweet life
Oh I have a beautiful friend
I am breathless from the mercy of a smile
I am standing on the brink of the most perfect love

Oh I am Saved
Saved

I am saved
I believe
I am not going to be like I was
I have changed
I am saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want
I have torn them into tiny bits of rain
Oh the sun has dried those memories like I knew it would

Oh I am saved
Saved

I have bitten off the pieces that I did not want (2 x's)
Yes, I am saved

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

Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah

Never mind what you think you know about me
Never mind what you might have seen on the tv
You can't believe every single word you're gonna read
What I am is too far in for you to see

Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah

Never mind who said that I was a bit far gone
Never mind when they tell you sex is all I what
You can't believe that I'm every word that I write down
What I am is too far in and can't be found

Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah
Ah ah ah...ah ah ah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Never mind what they're gonna say is probably wrong
Never mind ain't about the singer it's the song
You can't believe how a person looks is who they are
What I am is too far in and can't be found
What I am is too far in and can't be found
What I am is too far in and can't be found
What I am is too far in and can't be found

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything
so bad...so bad

Cardboard masks of all the people
I've been
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
dented God Damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never
wanted anything so bad...
so bad

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself

Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Facing forward
Be yourself
just be yourself
just be yourself

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Heart in hand

[No lyrics]

Many years ago on Christmas Day
People came from all around to bow their heads and pray
For on that lonely night a babe was born
God gave us his only son that He may save the world

And He taught us of compassion
He taught us how to love
He taught us to believe in God above

Let know that you are still alive
Raise your hands up to the sky
Get down on your knees and pray
If only for one day
Make it Christmas Day

Jing-a-ling-a-long
Ding Dong Jing-a-long
Jing-a-ling-a-long
Ding Dang Dong
Jing Jing-a-ling
Sing along Jing along
Jing-a-ling-a-long
Ding Dong
Ding Dang Dong

Now we all await the coming eve
I wonder if there is a single a soul who still believes
It's not the flashing glamour of the lights
But only the remembrance of a distant holy night

For He taught us of compassion
And He taught us how to love
He taught us to believe in God above

Let know that you are still alive
Raise your hands up to the sky
Get down on your knees and pray

Let Him know you're still alive
Raise your hands up to the sky
Get down on your knees and pray
If only for one day,
Make it Christmas Day
