Pete Yorn Album

Don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to lose.
If it can make me feel better, than I'm gonna cry, cry for you.
Don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to do.
If it can make me feel better, than I'm gonna cry, cry for you.

I know men aren't supposed to act this way, but things they got too real; I couldn't stay.
Now I know one day we will both feel good. If I could be with you, you know I would.

I don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to do.
If it can make me feel better, than I'm gonna cry, cry for you.
I don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to lose.
If it can make me feel better, than I'm gonna cry, cry for you.

Turn the lights down low and close the door, and try to feel the way I felt before. Hell, cry in the middle of the day, It better make me feel a better way, if it could take my pain away.
Yeah Oh
Take my pain away

I don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to lose.
You gotta let the boy have his way. Cause it gets him to drink it away.
I don't wanna cry for you. There's nothing left to do.
If it can make me feel better, than I’m gonna cry, cry for you.
If it can make me feel better, than I’m gonna cry, cry for you.

Oooh,(make me feel better) cry for you
Oooh,(make me feel better) cry for you
I’m gonna cry, cry for you
I’m gonna cry, cry for you

Play me a song...
Play me a song
Sing your heart out
Expecting the sun
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough

I drove out to the white trash beach
On a brief vacation
I'd felt freer than I had in a long time
I wondered if it’s cause you were gone

I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's wasn’t enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough

Surfers protect the actors from flashers
Fathers and sons talk it out like brothers
The water doesn't sting as much in the summer
The waves can carry you home

To the girl with the shapes and another life
A freckled complexion and squinting eyes
You want so much to tell her but it feels like a lie

I got what I wanted and it's wasn’t enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough..never enough

When you talk it makes me cringe
you want so bad to have meaning
But you're empty and draining
You're so 4th street
I can't take it
I know I shouldn't care
But you're life’s intersecting where mine’s disconnecting
But you're life’s intersecting where mine’s disconnecting

I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's wasn’t enough
I got what I want when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough..never enough

that could be bad for u both

Hey what's going on?
I could still be strong
For us tonight
I know it will get hard
But I won't run away
I'll figure it out
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life, learn to get along

All this innocence
That we've come to miss
Will make us stronger
I don't have the time to go back in time
I already lived it
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life, learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time

With all we've come to know we work so hard for what?
I don't wanna miss it

Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life
Learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time
The first time ...

i remember the first time i saw you
you were drifting down Crouse Ave
you looked like a hot-country-Vermont
though my eyes were never that good
your head seemed to hold itself up high
on that long thin neck of yours
you glanced back although we never had passed
you lit a cigarette and smiled
and when we kissed it was electric
a chemist made us for each other
but i was far from being your only one
my roommate said he'd seen you before...

there's something missing in us
we try to make it whole
though it never feels like it, i know you have it all
there's something missing in us
we long to make it whole
though it never feels like it
i know you have it all
i know you have it all

we went to the social development dance
the whiskey went down easily
you kissed the best you had enormous breasts
and we wandered out really early
we were neighbors for a very short time
it all worked out quite wrong
when your boyfriend called
you pressed against the wall
...:"oh i really gotta go now"....

there's something missing in us
we try to make it whole
though it never feels like it, i know you have it all
there's something missing in us
we long to make it whole
though it never feels like it
i know you have it all
i know you have it all

we'd move away when the winters were gone
i think i saw you once in the city
i heard you were staying up North with a friend
and that your hair was falling out
i tried to find out what had happened to you
i Googled you in quotes got no results
i never learned how you had died
but i knew how you had lived

there's something missing in us
we tried to make it whole
though it never felt like it i know you had it all
there's something missing in us
we longed to make it whole
though it never felt like it, i know you had it all
i know you had it all
friend my friend, you left us in the end.

Baby
Gimme a sign
A message coming throug
With all we're
Leaving behind
I miss you
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
But I'm leaving it up to you
Yeah baby
Yeah baby
I needed some time
To figure out my shit
Still walking
Through the mines
Explosions never far
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
I know we'll have to choose
Is there anything left to lose?
Yeah baby, yeah baby
When you're gone
I know it's so hard
I know if you come to me
I can make us happy
Yeah baby
I'm here inside
I need to tell you something
Put your hand in mine
I want your name baby
I don't know your name anymore
I don't know your name anymore
I never knew your name before
Yeah, baby

We were afraid
We would never meet again
We would never see it thru
Our time was short but not for no one reason
We couldnt stay
We were not each others truth
We were close but very far
Iґll never see your face in sunshine again...

We were there last summer
It was fresh as the ocean
It was great last summer
But we can not go back again.

We were trying
To repeat what we once had
But you left so many times
You can never go back again
We were there last summer..

Oh maybe as time goes by
We will talk about it and laugh
But now itґs too close itґs too close
We know what we must do

We were fools
To wonder when weґd get it back
I know i can not do it all again
The longing pain that we will deal with eventually

We were there last summer..

We can not go back again
We can not go back again
We can not go back again..oh

I keep thinking of you, you're on my mind.
For the fifty seven thousandth time this morning.
I keep seeing you in sheets of white.
I can't change anything, I can't change aaannyything.
Aaaaaaaannnnnyyyyything.

I was out on my own, for the first time.
It was here all along, that I cracked.
Now it won't happen again till the next time.
Yeah I think I can do this all by myself.

I've been thinking of you a lot this morning.
For the fifty seven thousandth time today.
I will see you in pictures dressed as I am.
I can change anything, I can change aaannyything.
Ooohhh aaaaaaannnnnyyything.

I would like to tell you, where I'm going to.
I've seen it before, I've seen it before.
I would like to tell you, this is not about you.
I've seen it before, I've seen it before.

I keep thinking of you, you're on my mind.

baby i don't know
what i think of us
won't be here tomorrow
i get so mixed up

it's a shame that we're not living in the country
a place that i once seen before
in a book you've always loved but never showed me
you know i never lost before

baby i don't mind
where i'm going to
love that asks for nothing
love that we never knew

in the days when we were living in the city
it seemed that we were talking more
i can never love you like the way you love me
and these are things i can't ignore

you know i never lost before

we give it up to a world that was never true
it was always me and you

baby i can tell
it's not coming back
won't be here tomorrow
i know we'll be fine with that

in the days when we were living we were happy
the thing that we were waiting for
from a book you've always loved but never showed me
these are things I can't ignore
you know i never lost before
you know i never lost before
you know i never wanted it more

you and i were 2 of a kind, i hate to say it but we'll never relate... you and i were 2 of a kind, you made me smile....

He met a girl four years ago
He knew her like he knew himself
He fell with conviction, but not too easily
He wished, his love was hers to keep

But it wasn't enough for him to have her
He never woke up, there'd always be others
Had so much to give but time waits for no one
You don't believe me, but I think he's grown

There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer, and it will arrive
There's new light coming

He was a brave fighter
He had all this heart
And discipline would keep him from falling apart
But these hours in the morning, he finds them so hard

He dreams that he's open,
And now he's sailed on
He's sailing on

There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer and it will arrive
There's new light coming

He realized, he's growin' up
He can do anything with it
He realized, he's growin' up
He can do anything well

He knows there's a difference in walking away
We don't always know exactly what to say
We say it anyway...

There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer, and it will arrive
There's new light coming

He realized, he's growin' up
He can do anything with it
He realized, he's growin' up
He can do anything well

Same old town
Loose sense surround me
Always drags you down
Don't let it get you down

Same four walls
Don't mean anything
To anyone
'Cos all you care about
Was to see yourself break out

I've seen you this way before
Life's strained but true
Well, what are we waiting for?

Long time, nothing new
Long time, nothing new

I'm here...
I'm here...
I'm here...

Comin over the rooftop baby
Comin over the rooftop
Would you save me?
Cos I'm not okay
Comin over the rooftop baby
Comin over the rooftop
Would you save me?
Cos I'm not okay
And seasons change for everyone
I've seen it all
And if the rain comes down
Let the rain come down
Comin over the mountain baby
Comin over the mountain
Would you save me?
No I'm not okay
Comin over the mountains baby
Comin over the mountains
Would you save me?
Cos I'm not okay
And seasons change for everyone
I've seen it all
And if the rain comes down
Let it rain on me
-yeah-
Comin over the rooftop baby
