Mandy Moore Album

Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song
You only move to keep from sinking
You close your eyes as if your thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes you're so revealing 
you'll find what you're needing

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Hoping the melody will leave you
You walk to where I might not see you
Reach out to the wind
Looking to catch it for a minute
But just to hold it not be in it
I've been where you've been
Cause some how I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Cause somehow I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of 

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it

When I first saw you I couldn't believe
The way you smiled took the breath out of me
And maybe I'm seeing things
But if it's true don't wake me up from this dream

You remind me
Of a love I knew 
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

I never thought I could love again
Then you came and changed something within (I'm so confused)
I'm so confused 'case you're not the same
But there's something special that reminds me

It's the way you walk and
the way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
I love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew 
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

Bridge:
I, I cannot figure out
I ain't got a clue
I'm so confused about how I feel
Cause I'm really feelin' you

It's the way you walk and
the way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
I love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew 
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue

The desert I wander lacks in it's mirage
There's no mistaking in the barrage
Of sand and wind that tears my skin (tears my skin)
Leaving what's without exposing what's within

Forsaken, left here
In my barren desolate...

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Storm around me, bring the tide

My days stretch long into the heat
As the sun brightens my defeat
My lips are chapped, they're parched and dry (parched and dry)
My thirst it builds, with every day gone by....

Forsaken, left here
In my barren desolate...

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Storm around me, bring the tide

The dunes that shift, drift and lift in the wind
Cover up my Hope, as I start to give in
To the cracks and creases and the dips in my will
As I am pushed toward the brink, I drink down and swill

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me

I know you've tried your best
But that's not good enough for me Love's gotta go both ways
Well you push me to the left
Then you push me to the right
But you gotta meet me in the middle
If you wanna make this right
But you gotta believe
So here it is
I wanna help you out
Tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need
How's it gonna be
So what you wanna do
What you really wanna do
'Cause I've decided everything
That I want from you

Chorus
One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That I'm sure you've never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
hit me with your best shot

I'm giving you a second chance
But you gotta understand
If you don't know how to love me
I will find someone who can
So read my lips for the last time
I tell you now with no regret
if you don't get your act together
Even your name I will forget
I wanna help you out
Tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need
How's it gonna be
So what you wanna do
What you really wanna do
'Cause I've decided everything
That I want from you

Some people tell me
That you're not my kind
And I'd believe them
But I can't get you off my mind
Some people tell me
That I should stay away
Maybe I'll do that
Some other day
'Cause it feels right And it feels good
And I don't always do what I should
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart, you are it exactly

Chorus
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment
Keepin my heart open
While I'm only 17

I'll learn my lessons
And I'll make mistakes
And if I get burned
Well it's my heart to break
Because it feels right
And it feels good
And I'm not gonna do somethin' stupid
Just this once I wanna feel like
I can do what I want Chorus

Anyone
Who's ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means
To have a dream
And no one
Say anything
To change my mind

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended to soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
And I was changed

Chorus
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

It was late September
And I'd seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

Chorus

I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you 
I wanted to make your everything, all right
I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon

You know everything I'm afraid of
You do everything I wish I did
Everybody wants you, everybody loves you
I know I should tell you how I feel
And I wish everyone would disappear
Everytime you call me, I'm too scared to be me
And I'm too shy to be me

Chorus:
Ooh, I got a crush on you (crush on you)
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush when I'm with you
Ooh, I've got a crush on you (crush on you)

You know I'm the one you can talk to
And sometimes you tell me things that I don't want to know
I just want to hold you
And you say exactly how you feel about her
And I wonder, could you ever think of me that way

Chorus

Ooh, I wish I could tell somebody
But there's no one to talk to
Nobody knows I've got a crush on you
A crush on you, I got a crush
You say everything that no one says 
But I feel everything you're afraid to feel
I will always want you, I will always love you

Don't tell me how I had a vision
That this day would come to be
Call it luck, call it intuition
Here I am (here we are)
Isn't that enough
For a little bit of reality
Fate is good fate can be real
If you believe it's what you feel
Oh, what a moment
When I looked into your eyes
I knew I got the prize
Oh baby, what a sweet surprise
It only took a minute, baby to let you in my life
It only took a minute, for me to realize
It only took a minute, and I knew just what to do
It only took a minute, to fall in love with you

Time and time again, boy I've always been
The only one to think things through
You got a hold of me
Set me free
Who would've known
That out of the blue
I discovered the magic of all my dreams that night
With just one look at you
I knew that everything would be all right
Here I am, isn't that a vision

We were talking at the party 'til dawn
You put your arms around me and you asked me what was wrong
I tried to be so serious, you smiled and played along
You had to leave for home tomorrow, yeah tomorrow you'd be gone 
'Cause we fell in love before we made it through the night
But you were leaving town, into another kind of life
So we drove around the block again and tried to say goodbye

Chorus
Maybe I never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby I wish that there was some other way
That I could turn the clock around 

But I couldn't sleep, I called everybody that I knew
All my friends said I'd be crazy if I waited 'round for you
I wanted to believe it so I called to say we're through
But when I heard your voice, it nearly broke my heart in two

Chorus

Don't say you're gone, I'll find you someday
I jumped into my car but as I headed down the road
I knew that when I got there, there might not be anybody home
You had gone away forever, and you left me all alone
I was all alone.

Chorus

I keep hanging around
Got some attachment to you
Way down is still where you get through
I told myself it isn't right but isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you hot and cold me
The more I need protecting
Can't hear myself singing the same sad song
Oh, and it's not hard to figure out
Why I am never too far from the floor
You can only take me up and down
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
I keep hanging around
But can't defy gravity
Rebound everytime you touch me
I've told myself it isn't right but it isn't wrong The more you high and low me
The more I need stability
Can't hear myself singing this for too long
Oh, and now you've come to face the fact
But I'm running fast as I can to the door
'Cause you wanna swing me up and back
And I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken
And I can't let that hope in
I know what you want I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
Didn't I adore you...Didn't I keep you satisfied...Didn't I
Didn't I assure you...For every climb there is a downward slide that I can't ride
Didn't I adore you...Didn't I bend to keep you satisfied...Didn't I
Didn't I assure you...For every climb there is a downard slide...I had to cut the cord

I had you, I had everything I ever needed
From that first look I knew
I'd found heaven in your eyes
But who was to know the way it would go
I have no regrets
Glad to let you in
Wouldn't have missed one single moment
I would do it all over again

Chorus
'Coz I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is
And I learned what love is
I was blessed, so blessed
Coz I learned what love is
I learned what love is
From loving you

I held you, I held everything I ever dreamed of
With that first kiss from you
All this world seemed so right
But who was to see the way it would be
I'll never forget
The heaven we shared
And I'll thank God for every moment
Every moment that I had you there

Chorus

Some people search their whole lives 
Glad I got to get the chance to have you in my life
I won't sad when I look back
Coz I was...

I can run as fast as the boys
I can sing and dance ballet
I can show all of my toys
Though I'd rather be alone today
It's not that I don't like to hang around with you
And though you're fun, I'm on the run, so much to do
Gotta make the dreams I have come true
Cause life is what you make it and to waste it just won't do 

Chorus
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
Had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two, I'm a Split Chick

I can hold my breath forever
I can pledge allegiance in reverse
You know kids can be so clever
It can be a blessing or a curse
'Cause when I'm with you, I get lost in ur eyes
I forget about the time and then I realize
I gotta run along
And sing my song!
I'll kiss you and miss you and be back before too long

Chorus
Every flower has to find a way to reach up to the sun
Even though the cracks in the sidewalk
Gotta make the most of everyday
Making friends will help me on the way
I'll rise above the fear I feel
I'm gonna take these dreams and make 'em real

Remember me
Feels like forever
Since the days
When we were friends
Don't understand
All these changes
I'm still the same
No need to pretend
Where'd it go?
Do you know
Maybe it just doesn't matter

Chorus
'Cause when I try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through to you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk
When I talk to you

There were times
In the beginning
When you were there
When I needed you the most
We'd sit and talk
About the future
And laugh about
Us getting old
Do you know
How it feels
I hope that you know it matters

Chorus

I want you to know everything that I am
Don't want to know life would be like without you
