LYRICS
Feel It Coming
That’s it, I’m all better now
Spit up the last of what made me hurt
And I feel light as a feather now
At last I finally know my worth
Thought I’d never learn to be alone
Open all my windows wide
Turn the ringer off the phone
Light my orange candles every night
And I’m wishing on a new moon
Something better’s coming
It’s coming soon
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming
I close my eyes up on the high, high dive
Stretch my arms up to the sky
Endless water lies deep below
But somewhere up in the air I’ll learn to fly
And I’m wishing on a new moon
Something better’s coming
It’s coming soon
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming
It’s so easy to complain
But it’ll make you insane
That same routine
The impulse to be mean
But the grass is oh so green
After winter rain
And I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming

Anywhere Anytime
Home to me is by your side
Take the wheel, I’m along for the ride
I tried to be brave, but I guess I lied
When I said I was fine without you
I don’t need to make future plans
As long as you just hold my hand
I want you to know I understand,
I’m patient,
I don’t doubt you
I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
With you
When you’re up in the sky above the sea and the clouds
Think of how I called your name out loud
Think of how if you weren’t so proud
You could be my lover
And then when your plane touches solid ground
And the taxi whisks you on into town
In the glittering lights I’ll be all around
‘Cause we belong with each other
Oh, I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
With you, with you
If you’re up for an adventure, let’s go
Bring a warm coat for the snow
We’ve got so far to go, you take the wheel
I can’t explain, but every time it rains
This is how I feel
Oh, I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
I’ll go anywhere anytime
With you, with you

Never Been Hurt
One day I didn’t have a care
Except my picture in the mirror and the color of my hair
I sang along to records about tomorrow
Now my hands are worn, my clothes are torn
A few of my dreams have been met with scorn
And I don’t have too much time left to borrow
But still I’m gonna love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Love you like I’ve never been hurt,
I’m gonna start all over and know what it’s worth
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Your stubborn independence
Reminds me of myself
It doesn’t make a lot of sense
It isn’t very good for health
I know you want to be alone
But I sure like talking on the phone
And I’ve finally left my carry-on bag behind me
Yeah I’m going to love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Love you like I’ve never been hurt
We can start all over and know what it’s worth
I’m gonna love you like I’ve never been hurt before

Hard Pressed
You’re the king of downtown
You move around with your head in the sky
Sing to the clouds as you leave the ground
You’re ready to fly
But you’re all alone
You’re all alone
I got confused, I thought you loved me,
I don’t know why
But you were just my muse
Maybe someday I’ll make you cry
When you’re all alone
You’re all alone
You’re going to be hard, hard, hard pressed
Hard, hard, hard pressed
You’re going to be hard, hard, so hard hard pressed
To find a woman like me
Race through the city of your secret thoughts
And your darkest fears
You don’t even know me, you’ve no idea
Just wait a few years
When you’re all alone
You’re all alone
Search the whole wide world over
Search the whole wide world over
Search the whole wide world over
Just wait and see
Yeah you’ll be hard, hard, hard pressed
Hard, hard, hard pressed
You’re going to be hard, hard, so hard hard pressed
To find a woman like me

DIRTY MIND
Summer’s getting hotter and winter’s growing colder...
And everybody’s turning another year older
I wonder when I’ll be lying head to toe again
With you my friend
And time will stop and space will bend
Please come find me with your dirty mind
Here you come just like a meteor shower
Call me up at the dreamiest hour
Sighing with your lazy voice on the phone
Oh please come find me with your dirty mind
Hold me down until I cry
With your wicked secret smile
Hold me down until I cry
With your wicked secret smile
Hold me down and make me cry
Please come find me with your dirty mind
Hold me down until I cry
Please come find me with your dirty mind
With your wicked secret smile

Turquoise Sky
You fell down to me
Out of the great big blue
And suddenly no one else will do
You’re inside my eyes
The moon was new
It was the first day of spring
The very beginning
Of our big surprise
Look up at the turquoise sky
The first star’s the one I’m wishing on tonight
Wherever you go, so will I
We walk below the same sky
I threw my quarter to the wishing well
I kissed your head, we heard the children yell
I was high underneath your spell
In the softest sun
Felt like you could be the one
Look up at the turquoise sky
The first star’s the one I’m wishing on tonight
Wherever you go, so will I
We walk below the same sky
We walk below the same sky
When the orange sun paints the sky
the white moon will rise like the diamonds in your eyes
Let your mind fly all the way to me
Across the highways, across the sea
Across the miles and miles of empty sea
Look up at the turquoise sky
The first star’s the one I’m wishing on tonight
Wherever you go, so will I
We walk below the same sky
We walk below the same sky
We walk below the same sky

Rise Up
You say I shouldn’t wait around
And you’re impossible to pin down
Well I just don’t care
I’ve had my share of different guys
And they don’t have your mischievous hazel eyes
And you’re the perfect size
Maybe someday you will rise
Rise up to everyone’s surprise
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here
Is love a luxury that you can’t afford
When you stay up until dawn to learn your chords
Well so do I
Maybe someday you will rise
Rise up to everyone’s surprise
Rise up above your fear
I will be right here
You don’t have to choose which part of your life to lose
You can have it all right now, if you’re not afraid
You’ll go far, but right now here you are
Won’t you have some faith
In all of those dues you’ve paid
Oh, Rise, Rise, Rise up to your own surprise,
Rise up above your fear
And I will be right here
Rise, Rise, Rise up to your own surprise
Rise up and fly away
That’ll be a gorgeous day

Fall Down
Something in me is raw and wild
Keeps me looking for a high, driving fast
I’ll lash out like a tiger, bawl like a child
Fall down on the floor, laugh and laugh
Fall down on the floor, why fight it anymore
Fall down, laugh and laugh
Roll around and rest my wings, laugh and cry, cry and sing
Fall Down, laugh and laugh
Oh baby, I’ve got two lovers
One’s my freedom, the other is a man
Next to you dear, there is no other
But this gypsy way I’m sure you understand
Fall down on the floor, why fight it anymore
Fall down, laugh and laugh
Roll around and rest my wings, laugh and cry, cry and sing
Fall Down, laugh and laugh
Fall down on the floor, why fight it anymore
Fall down, laugh and laugh
Roll around and rest my wings, laugh and cry, cry and sing
Fall Down, laugh and laugh

Don't You Wanna Know
Nobody has your serious eyes
You look at me with that fake surprise
But you know I see through your lies
Struttin’ down the street with your fancy style
I think you should stay awhile
In the sunshine of my secret smile
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Saw you in the crowd at the rock n’roll show
Your eyes were closed, you were swaying real slow
I turned back around, I could feel you glow
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Your mouth on mine
Sweeter than wine
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
The way you play me isn’t fair
You act like you don’t care
But behind your eyes
You’re as curious as I
So what are you waiting for
Don’t wait no more, Baby
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Your mouth on mine
Sweeter than wine
Don’t you wanna know what it would be like
Don’t you wanna know
What it would be like

Happy Endings
I never realized
How badly I needed to be surprised
You kissed me with your eyes; it was then I knew
Now I’m thousands of miles away
Waiting for the first light of day
And the way I’m feeling now is oh so new
And I believe in happy endings
I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too
I know you’re an optimist
You’re pretty impossible to resist
And I know you’ve been used for all your wealth
It’s okay, you can take my hand, you can be with me and be my man
Lay down beside me, I’ll nurse you back to health
I believe in happy endings
And I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too
Is physical attraction just a chemical reaction
Further on down the road, will we be friends
‘cause I could be persuaded, if the moment were recreated
I just don’t know what I would do
If I see you again
I believe in happy endings
And I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too

Nuclear Sun
Maybe the damage has been done
Looks like the ending has begun
So flick your cigarette into the mess
Walk right by the homeless guy
Careful not to catch his eye
If nobody’s looking, why confess
The ride is fast and it won’t last
And it’s already in the past
Squinting at a fluorescent screen
Thinking about what’s already been
While outside the sky is turning brown
Worship the idols of Seventeen
Children in makeup on magazines
When did it all turn upside down
The ride is fast and it won’t last
It’s already in the past
And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead
Turning the sky white and red
The ride is fast and it won’t last
It’s already in the past
Habits die hard, but it’s in our cards
At last, at last
And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead
The ride is fast and it won’t last
And it’s already in the past

Birthday Prayer
I have not been honest with myself
Not with you, nor with anyone else
I haven’t had respect for time
I can’t bind the wind, I can’t catch the sand
But I’m learning to write with my left hand
And one day, I’ll learn the art of dying
Please God, take care of me,
Enter me so I may be free
Help me breathe in slowly, without fear
Why can’t I accept the truth
Even I will lose my youth
I’d better learn this lesson while I’m here
I hear the ghost of my beloved dog
Crackling leaves as we walk through the fog
Memories turn to dreams year after year
Seems like lifetimes ago,
And one day, so will this moment now
A distance so far and yet so near
Please God, take care of me,
Enter me so I may be free
Help me breathe in slowly, without fear
Why can’t I accept the truth
That even I will lose my youth
I’d better learn this lesson while I’m here
I’ve been a temperamental loner
And a superstitious stoner
I have run from the law just to write a song
Trying to see without my glasses
As the world outside my window passes
Why do I struggle just to get along
Please God, take care of me,
Enter me so I may be free
Help me breathe in slowly, without fear
Why can’t I accept the truth
Even I will lose my youth
I’d better learn this lesson while I’m here
