Soundtrack to my life...

*sigh*

It's sort of embarrassing to admit, but Hanson has some very well written songs. They're just amazing. And no, I'm not talking about that "Mmmbop" shit.


A Song To Sing
Good-bye four leaf clovers, hello gone awry
Don't cry the fight ain't over
Unless you let it pass you by

I'm looking for a song to sing
Looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me
You'll be thinking of me

All that I have found in reason,
Is reason just to not believe?
When all that you're left is treason
It's treason just to let it be

I'm looking for a song to sing
Looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So that I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'll be thinking of...

These blue yonder dreams and second hand shoes
You're so far gone that you live to lose
And it's too late to go home all alone
Your the tar in that old cigar
And the worn out cable on a cable car
And you're too tired to admit you've got to choose

I'm looking for a song to sing
Looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just worried down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'll be thinking of me
You'll be thinking of me.

I learned how to play that on the piano.


Love Song
The wind it blows through the trees
Claiming those innocent leaves
And the thunder rolls these crashing seas
Like a tender kiss holds this heart in me

In this life long love song
You can love right you can love wrong
In this love song you can love long
But if you love wrong it doesn't mean love's gone

Mary was a young girl with a young girl's heart
Well all I can remember is I loved her from the start
I was hers forever she was mine too
But something's wrong 'cause now she's gone
Tell what should I do

In this life long love song
You can love right you can love wrong
In this love song you can love long
But if you love wrong it doesn't mean love's gone

And it doesn't mean love's wrong
Just because you're feeling' low
And it doesn't mean loves gone
'Cause you feel that you want to let go
Well no one wrote in this book of love that you'd always know
I wish someone would of told me before

We talked about love a million times it seems
The words come out our lips like we forgot what it means
We said we'd be together 'til death do us part
But we said those words with only half our hearts

In this life long love song
You can love right you can love wrong
In this love song you can love long
And if you love wrong it doesn't mean love's gone


Save Me
Loving you like I never have before
I'm needing you to open up the door
If begging you might somehow turn the tides
Then tell me to I've got to get this off my mind

I never thought I'd be speaking these words
I never thought I'd need to say
Another day alone is more than I can take

chorus
Won't you save me 'cause saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea of life

Won't you
Listen please baby don't walk out that door
I'm on my knees you're all I'm living for

I never thought I'd be speaking these words
Heaven thought I'd find a way
Another day alone is more than I can take

Won't you save me 'cause saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea of life

Suddenly the sky is falling
Could it be it's too late for me
If I never said I'm sorry, then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
Then I hear my spirit calling
Wondering if she's longing for me
And then I know that I can't live without her

Won't you save me 'cause saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me I don't want to be
Just drifting through this sea of life

And now, some various songs by various artists...


Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind


Signals Over The Air
this is what you see
when you look in my direction,
and contest its course.
it's drawn tight like wires.
this is how it feels,
calling out, but no one even hears.
signals that were sent,
over the air.
over the air.
over the air.
over the air.

when you say,
my name.
i want to slate it from your lips,
hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say (when you say!)
my name (when you say it!)
i want to stomp it in your lungs,
and collect all of your blood,
to put in the radio.

is this how it feels?
when you don't even fit into your own skin,
and it's getting tighter.
everyday i'm getting smaller.
if i keep holding my breath im going to disappear.

when you say,
my name.
i want to slate it from your lips,
hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say, (when you say!)
my name. (when you say it!)
i want to stomp it in your lungs,
and collect all of your blood,
to put in the radio.

there's nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex, on the radio.
there's nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex, on.

If i keep holding my breath all of this will fade away.
If you keep driving we'll be lying in the rain.
changing the shape.
folding like an envelope to keep each other in.
shattered glass,
broken locks,
and mascara gets washed away by windsheild wiper blades.
stay.
stay.

when you say, (when you say!)
my name. (when you say my name!)
i wanna slate it from your lips
hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say, (when you say!)
my name. (my name!)
i want to stomp it in your lungs,
and collect all of your blood,
to put in the radio.

there's nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex, on the radio.
there's nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex, on the radio.
yeah that's where we hide.
the love and lives and sex, on the radio.
