Rhett Miller Album

Keyboards and keystrokes and keystones and keys
Write it all down and then move over please
Hollow your heart out, hold out your hope
God give me strength and a good length of rope

Nobody says I love you anymore

Halftime and half lives and breaking in half
I'll take a beating and you'll take a bath
Same time tomorrow I'll know where you'll be
Same place as always right here beside me

Nobody says I love you anymore
Nobody says I love you
Haven't you heard? Nobody, nobody, no

Watchbands and watch hands and watching your watch
Time waits for no man, for woman it stops
I don't need heaven 'cause heaven's right here
Whispering goodbye, goodbye in my ear

Nobody says I love you anymore
Nobody says I love you
Haven't you heard? Nobody, nobody, no

Celebrate love when it's over, celebrate life when it's gone
When nobody knows you are wrong
Celebrate life when it's over, celebrate love when it's gone
When nobody knows you are wrong

Nobody says I love you anymore

Boy, I used to be was upstairs
The girl of my dreams was making herself heard
She could talk for hours on end
The girl of my dreams and never say a word

She wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like a house filled with laughter every night
She wanted things that I couldn't afford

Boy, I used to be got along
Said the right thing to make a dream girl go
She was gone before I woke up
Now I'm downtown putting on a show

I wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like to get along with everybody all the time
I wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love

Boy, that I still am tells a joke
New girl of my dreams doesn't even think to laugh
We are all alone in this world
From cradle to grave and maybe after that

We all want things that we'll never afford
Like a house filled with laughter every night
All of these things that we'll never afford
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love

Friend of mine
You're so tall and so thin, all alone
Heart, blood, a heart made of stone

Take my hand
Darling, don't squeeze my fingers so hard
Yeah, we're off to a curious start

Please, don't leave
'Cause I'm begging you

I would be devastated
'Cause I feel like we could have made it
Caroline, Caroline

You're so strong
A picture of cool I must say
I will love you forever today

There you go
Please, don't leave

'Cause I feel like we could have made it
Caroline, Caroline

I am my own arch enemy
I am my own arch enemy

Here we go
I can't believe all the things we have done
I cannot believe I am the one

Caroline
I am my own arch enemy
Caroline
I am my own arch enemy

Oh, and I would be devastated
'Cause I feel like we could have made it
Caroline, Caroline

I am my own arch enemy
I am my own arch enemy

Kissing in a classroom on a campus on the coast after hours of analysis
I loved you first, yeah, I loved you most
Now it feels like paralysis
And I've got no idea where we're going with this
No, I don't know where we're gonna land
And it might go better if do it by the letters
So, I need to know where I stand

Killing in a comedy club in Hollywood after years of psychotherapy
You were gone forever now you say you're back for good
I swear to God you're gonna bury me
And the people are laughing
I'm dead on the inside
I'll do anything you demand
Well you tell me that you love me, yet you won't even hug me
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand

Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
'Cause I need
Yes, I need to know where I stand

Quiet in the kitchen of a Cracker Jack box in the Hamlet of Wallkill
I miss you so much that it hurts me to talk
Yet you're standing right in front of me still
And I'm reaching for you but you're falling away
This has gotten so out of hand
Well, the world my end in a minute my friend
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand

Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
'Cause I need
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Yeah, I need to know where I stand
But, I need to know where I stand

[No lyrics]

Meet me by the bonfire
Underneath the north star in the sycamores
Tell me that you love me
I'll tell you what I will do forevermore

Close your eyes and see
What this could mean to you and me
Everything is going to change

Meet me in the meadow
Out amongst the shadows and the air so still
Tell me all your big dreams
Tell me 'bout the kind of world you wanna build
Living up to you is an enormous thing to do

Everything is going to change
Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange
How everything will change?

The night is young, the sky is deep
For all we know the whole world's asleep
We've got to let them go

The fire is hot but your hand is cold
Let's fall in love before we get old
Watch the fire glow, watch the fire grow

Everything is going to change
Everything is going to change
Isn't it strange? Isn't strange
How everything will change?

I'm clinging to this thing haphazardly
I can't hold onto this thing right now

This is what the house feels like without you in it

I'm dreaming of leaving all night these days
I can't come 'round from this dream right now

This is what the house feels like without you in it
This is what the bed feels like without you in it

Whoever named the fall sure did a bang up job
They might as well have been talking 'bout me
Whoever named the fall sure did a bang up job
'Cause I'm falling in and out of your love

Haphazardly, haphazardly
Haphazardly, haphazardly

This is what the world feels like without you in it

When I laid my eyes on you I felt a fundamental change
I was a concrete jungle in summer, I was desert aching for rain
Now I tried to tell you that I was no good from the start
But when you opened up your front door I handed you my heart

If it's not love then what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love

Now the whole situation went to hell an hour late
Are you on the side of reason or is your heart made out of hate?
This is the other side of leaving from what I've seen so many times
You make a great big deal out of nothing and then you cut me down to size

If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love

I'm always the one who runs but this time I'm the crying one

Now my bad reputation is shot and you're to blame
I'm the loser in the corner and I'm whispering your name

If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss

If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love

Trouble with girls like you is your so awfully hard to say no to
It's high time that somebody did
So I guess I'm saying no now, I'm amazed that I even know how
I'm shaking just like a kid

You're prettier still than a siren
I'd tell you my name if I had one
The last thing I need is another girlfriend
Two's enough for me, two's enough and you would make three

The trouble with being in love is it's so awfully hard to get out of
You might as well be in jail
The sky's all purple tonight, I'm soaking up the sodium light
Everything is for sale

You're prettier still than an ocean
You'll be better off in the long run
Oh, last thing I need is another girlfriend
Two's enough for me, two's enough and you would make three

Last thing I need, last thing I
Last thing I need, last thing I
Last thing I need, last thing I need

Why am I refusing temptation when it's all around me?
It would be so easy to say yes
But I never say yes, I just float here like ice

Why do I continue to phone you when it's so apparent?
Those drinks that your pouring won't make you forget
That you and I met once or twice

In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over

Why do I persist and resist in what is really happening
You and I could be happy sleeping right here
But you won't be here, you are telling me twice

In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over

Why am I refusing temptation when it's all around me?
It would be so easy to say yes
But I never say yes, I just float here like ice

In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over

In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over

Why am I refusing temptation?

On the long, long lashes of your look
The one you give that says you love me
You don't even have to say you love me

I was long gone long before that look
But now that it's a part of my life
It's by far the best part of my life

I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to

On the long thin fingers of the dawn
The ones we let wrap around us
Now that happiness has found us

I did not have strength to carry on
But I have got strength to spare now
I have come up for air now

I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to

I could live forever, I could conquer anyone
I could probably fly out of this place
I could make a circle around the sun

I could be so far away that I would be a memory
But every time I hold you in my arms
There's no other place I'd rather be

I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
And nothing else if I had to

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
The only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times
In these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along

Ever since I found you
I've been orbiting around you like you are the sun
Ever since I met you
There's no way I could forget you are the only one

Every single morning
When I hear you in there humming on a brand new tune
If I blink I'll miss you, honey
All I want's to kiss you and I want to soon

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
The only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times
In these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along

I might just surprise you
I might be the one who tries to love you every day
I propose forever, although longer would be better
What do you say, what do you say?

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
The only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times
In these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
I will sing along
