The Only Place


The Only Place


We were born with sun in our teeth and in our hair When we get bored we like to sit around, sit around and stare At the mountains, at the birds, at the ocean, at the trees We have fun, we have fun, we have fun when we please We wake up with the sun in our eyes It’s no surprise that we don’t get so much done But we always, yes we always, we always have fun Yes we always, yes we always, we always have fun Why would you live anywhere else? Why would you live anywhere else? We’ve got the ocean, got the babes Got the sun, we’ve got the waves This is the only place for me So leave your cold behind We’re gonna make it to the beach on time Yeah leave the cold behind We’re gonna make it to the beach on time


Why I Cry Look to the future, nothing’s there Don’t know why I even care Walk around in a haze Seems to be the way I spend my days I’m stuck in the grey Turn around and no one’s there Don’t know why I even care Moods, they swing, the seasons change Is it you or am I to blame I always complain Cause you seem to think you know everything Yeah you seem to think you know everything But you don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry Before I can stay inside

Oh how fast the time goes by Take a pill, spend the bills Seems to be the way I get my thrill A never-ending hill Cause you seem to think you know everything Yeah you seem to think you know everything But you don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry You don’t know why I cry, why I cry


I used to believe in diamonds and things I used to believe in you and me But now I believe in nothing I used to wake up in the morning And reach for that bottle or glass But I don’t do that anymore Kicked my habits out the front door And I’m always talking to somebody else She doesn’t even know my face I don’t know how I feel I’m all over the place And when I go out I don’t feel anything I just keep on spending my money One day it will be gone And then I’ll have to write another song What a year this day has been What a day this year has been

My Life

Please don’t get me wrong I just don’t know where time has gone What a year this day has been What a day this year has been Please don’t get me wrong I just don’t know where my mind has gone



No One Like You f I sleep on the floor Will it make you love me more? If I pack up my things and leave Can I still be the queen to your king? No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Know that you don’t mean to say things That hurt me and drive me to my knees Been around this crazy world But I still want to be your girl ‘Cause there’s no one like you, no one like you, no one like you. No one like you, no one like you, no one like you. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. no.

All of my friends stick up their noses Ask me where my money is Where does it go once I’ve spent it? But I don’t want to be they want me to be I don’t want to be how want me to be I don’t want to be how want me to be I don’t want to be how want me to be

how they they they

Even my own mother asks me a lot of questions I tell her I don’t wanna talk But she doesn’t stop, she’s just wondering I want you, you, you, you


Better Girl And it’s no fun when I’m freaking out And it’s no fun when I’m always down And it’s no fun what I’m putting inside of me is making me crazier And it’s no fun when I’m always alone And it’s no fun when I’m always at home And it’s no fun when you’re laughing at me, always laughing at me You gotta keep me away from what they say about me You gotta keep me away from what they say about me, say about me Cause I want to be a better girl And it’s no fun when I’m staying up late And it’s no fun when you’re breaking the date And it’s no fun what I’m putting inside of me is making me crazier

And it’s no fun when I’m always alone And it’s no fun when I’m always at home And it’s no fun when you’re sitting without me, always sitting without me You gotta keep me away from what they say about me You gotta keep me away from what they say about me, say about me Cause I want to be a better girl, Yeah I want to be a better girl. A better girl A better girl, a better girl A better girl, a better girl A better girl, a better girl


Do You Love Me Like You Used To I wake up to the morning sun, When did my life stop being so fun? Wish I could care about someone, the way I used to. When will this be done?

I’m always crying on the phone, Because I know that I’ll end up alone. Lord please forgive me for my sins I didn’t mean it, I just want it to end Do you love me like you used to? Do you, do you, do you?

I have no reason to complain, My feelings change, they melt away in my brain. I keep myself awake at night, Sleep with the lights on, always ready to fire I’m always crying on the phone, Because I know that I’ll end up alone. Lord please forgive me for my sins I didn’t mean it, I just want it to end



Dreaming My Life Away We fell asleep I saw the trees in my dreams I want to follow them Down the road But it looks dark And I am grown

There is a place where I can go Where all my secrets, no one knows I’ll meet you there, I’ll meet you there ‘Cause I don’t want to be anywhere else but home

I tried to call you But you were sleeping And you were dreaming That I was on a road With my best friend

I see myself at 8 years old I’m on the couch but no one’s home My mom’s not around, my dad’s out of town, ‘Cause I don’t want to be anywhere else but home

And we were talking About our dreams

When will I go home? When will I go home?

We fell asleep We fell asleep We fell asleep We fell asleep

I’ve seen all the mountains Yes, I’ve seen all the trees I’ve seen all the water But nowhere compares to home Home, let’s go home

Let’s Go Home


Up All Night You and me Too good to be Too true to be Too dumb to see Where I live And where you live Are not the same We’re not to blame It’s too crazy And far to hard And way to lazy to make it work So here I am I’m still alone I’m still awake I’m still afraid I don’t know what day it is Because I’ve been up all night I don’t know what week it is Because I’ve been up all night I want to see you I want to see you I want to see you I want to see you Forever and ever

Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever You and me Too good to be Too true to be Too dumb to see Where I live And where you live Are not the same We’re not to blame Now you’re of in another town With another girl Just sittin around I’m still here I’m still alone I’m still awake I’m still afraid I don’t know what day it is Because I’ve been up all night I don’t know what week it is Because I’ve been up all night


I want to see you I want to see you I want to see you I want to see you Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever

You left me here alone. You left me here in the cold. You left me here by the sea Oh well now all I wish I could see Is you and me. I don’t know what day it is Because I’ve been up all night I don’t know what week it is Because I’ve been up all night
