Pete Yorn Album

Come on, come on, we're gonna get there
Come on, come on, we've gotta go
Come on, I know you're feeling better
i know you're feeling in control
i know you're feeling in control

We've got to be somewhere at 7
I know you have a dress to wear
I've found to a way to live forever
I found a place where no one cares

One look at you
I see your eyes so blue
You talked to me with such sincerity
Oh how i wanted you

Come on, come on, come on lets get there
i know you're seeing it in my eyes
I'm going to be someone tomorrow
You're gonna be something tonight

I look at you, i see it in your eyes
You talk to me with such sincerity
Oh how i wanted you

We know we cannot last forever
Such crazy feelings you inspire
I'll have to runoff by tomorrow
i never could put out this fire

I know you know, its going nowhere
And I feel the hurt from miles and miles
Cause i want to be with you forever
I want to be your precious stone
I'll never be your precious stone

Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I feel glad when you all surround me
It's you, it's you who grounds me
When you're done put me back where you found me

Before the show I never know if I could make it
I spend each day, each day trying not to fake it
Every morning is a constant struggle
My life makes perfect sense

Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I feel glad when you all surround me
It's you, it's you who grounds me
When you're done put me back where you found me

I sit backstage
Oh I never know what to play
My mind gets cloudy
Can't think of what I wanted to say
But when I see you
And we're moving through the night
I feel like I can make it through another night

Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I feel glad when you all surround me
It's you, it's you who grounds me
When you're done put me back where you found me

When I was younger
I dreamed of the people I'd see
All the work that goes into it
No, I never thought about it

When I see you
Oh, my life makes perfect sense
And everything we get from the shared experience
After the show
We can smile together
But only I know
How it starts in the morning again

Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I feel glad when you all surround me
It's you, it's you who grounds me
When you're done put me back where you found me

Rock crowd throw your arms around me
Rock crowd throw your arms around me
Rock crowd throw your arms around me
Rock crowd throw your arms around me

I turn again
Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I turn again
Rock crowd throw your arms around me
I turn again
Rock crowd throw your arms around me

Got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps
I think I'll wear them home and then
Decide to rip them off and take a bath
Okay

Now in the tub I have more friends
The yellow duckie and the floating house
I think I'll break them both again
But that's alright 'cause I don't need them any more
Perhaps this time we'll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we'll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let's play
Billy let's play

It's time for lunch so what's to eat?
PB and J cut up in squares of four
A glass of milk for little Pete
He's such a good boy let him have some more
A tale of black birds in the trees
A faithless man who hides behind closed doors
So many lovely memories
A happy face was all I ever needed
Perhaps this time we'll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we'll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let's play
Billy let's play

Let me be for the last time
Let me be for the last time
Set me free one more time
Set me free one more time

I got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps,
They do.

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

[No lyrics]

I can see you any time
I can see you any time
That's why I don't care
I want what isn't there

I know it's bad to feel this way
I know it's hard to hear me say
I can see you anytime
So I don't

Watch me step away
From everything that's great
Watch me lose it all again

You hit me in the street
You know I do not deserve it
As much as you think I do
I really wasn't trying to be malicious
But I wanted you
Ooh ooh ooh
I wanted you

I had dreamed many times
Of faded love
But as soon as I get what I want
I don't care no more

I know we're almost there
But close can feel like nowhere
But babe I wish I can love no more

You hit me in the street
You know I cannot deserve it
As much as you think I do
I really wasn't trying to be malicious
But I wanted you
Ooh ooh ooh
I wanted you

You come back to me
'Cause you're the sweetest thing I know
If you come back to me
I can't promise that I'll know what I want
Don't know what I want

I know we're almost there
But close can feel like nowhere
And I can't help the way I feel again

You hit me in the street
You know I cannot deserve it
As much as you think I do
I really wasn't trying to be malicious
But I wanted you
Ooh ooh ooh
I wanted you

I can see you any time

I wake, still shaking from a dream
The life I want to lead
But I'm not starting all brand new
Get cool in losing you

Oh, we know
At least we hope so
We know there's something better than before
I can never change you
I can only change my view

We tried, we seen what is true
I hate to bring this up
Normalcy, just don't agree with me
I hate this big disguise

Now, I go to sleep my dear
In your arms for the final time
No fear

Cause I will never change you
I will never change you
I will only change my view

And my eyes are open
I wish yours could be open too
But something, something, something
Won't let me wake you

Wide awake, still shaking from the dream
The life I have to lead
Every night I toss and turn, I try
To open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Your eyes

Well you know I burned out on the scene
It was like out of the blue
All of my friends they say "What you do, so much to see"
but I know they felt it too

Bring it on
Take it all on
All the things we're gonna do
Bring it on
Take it all on
It will always be with you

I was wrecking all the other sounds I never made
I was aching for the truth
When my only world was I was born and I was old
Ain't the fortune coming true

Bring it on
Take it all on
All the things we're gonna lose
Bring it on
Take it all on
I will always be with you

Bring it on
Take it all on
All the things we're gonna lose
Bring it on
Take it all on
I will always know the truth
Always

I think I've never been loved
Oh, maybe once when I was younger
Don't know what I was dreaming of
Can't be sure that I was ever
Can it make you happy, no no no

I think I've never been loved
Oh, maybe when you fall ___
I thought I was old
I was sure it was tailored

Can you make me happy, no no no
Can you make me sad
I gotta know my self
Before I know someone else

Love is stronger, stronger than fear
Love is stronger, stronger than
Stronger than fear
I could love, maybe next year
Oh, but I gotta know my stuff
Before I know someone else

You say you've never been loved
Oh, that's not how you're put together
You know one day you'll have enough
And maybe next time I'll know better

Can it make you happy, no no no
Can it make you sad
I gotta know my self
Before I know someone else

Love is stronger, stronger than fear
Love is stronger, stronger than
Stronger than fear
I could love, maybe next year
Oh, but I gotta know my stuff
Before I know someone else

I gotta know my stuff
Before I know someone else
I gotta know my stuff
Before I know someone else

Love is stronger, stronger than fear
Love is stronger, stronger than
Stronger than fear
I could love, maybe next year
Love is stronger, stronger than fear
Love is stronger, stronger than fear

This future life's been freaking me out
Still attached to being the new kid in town
No family, no real responsibilities
In my friends, they're diving in deep
To all this holy matrimony

House, a dog, two kids and a van
Good jobs in real estate, a fireman
Why the hell does it scare the shit out of me
Am I different, am I afraid

Life's been great to me
It feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Life's been great to me
It feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Why do I want what I haven't got
So planted on the things that I want
Making pretty all these memories
Cause it's easy to get stuck

The spirit lives been guiding me out
A love so strong, erasing all of my doubt
I see a future that was made for me
Wherever I may go

Life's been great to me
It feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Life's been great to me
Oh, yeah, it feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Cause it's easy to get stuck
It happens a lot
Cause it's easy to get stuck
It happens

I can't avoid anything
Got to take it all in
Take a battle stance
I know that I can win

It's cliche of time, I know it must be true
When what you want is what you have
Then you know you found you

Life's been great to me
Oh, yeah, it feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Life's been great to me
Oh, yeah, it feels a little sad
Gotta break out of here
Appreciate what I have

Life's been great to me
Life's been great
Life's been great to me
Life's been great

Oh oh

Life's been great to me
Life

We have our wheels
To take ourselves away
We got telephones
To say what we can say
We all got higher and higher everyday
Come on wheels
Take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels
Take me home today
Come on wheels
Take this boy away

Now when I feel
My time is almost up
And destiny is in my hands
I'll turn to Him
Who made my faith so strong
Come on wheels
Make this boy a man

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
Come on wheels
Take me home today
Come on wheels
Take this boy away
