Who's
Cryin' Now
It’s too late to say
you’re sorry
You’ve been gone from
here too long
I hope you found what
you were missing
Cause I don’t miss you
here at all
And it’s too bad that
I’m not crying for you baby,
Don’t be sad, cause I’ve
been fine without you lately
I’m saving my breath
I’m saving my tears
I’m saving my life for
something
Better than these years
I’ve lost too much time
Crying over you
Don’t look so surprised
that I’ve
Got better things to
do
Who’s cryin now?
There’s so many nights
I wasted
I was waiting for your
call
Did you think I’d wait
forever?
I guess you don’t know
me at all
And I told you if you
left you would regret it
Thinking I would take
you back, but you don’t get it
There’s something you
should know
I finally let you go
It had to end somehow
Tell me who’s cryin now
Girl Next Door
Small town homecoming
queen
Shes the star in this
scene
Theres no way to deny
shes lovely
Perfect skin perfect
hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside
shes ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate
her
Secretly I wonder if
my boyfriend wants to date her
She is the prom queen
I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader
I'm sittin in the stands
She gets the top bunk
I'm sleepin on the floor
Shes Miss America and
I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last
one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too
demanding
Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but
I just wanna hit her
She is the prom queen
I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader
I'm sittin in the stands
She gets the top bunk
I'm sleepin on the floor
Shes Miss America and
I'm just the girl next door
Oh an I'm just the girl
next door
I don't know why I'm
feelin sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishin
that I was someone else
She is the prom queen
I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader
I'm sittin in the stands
I get A little bit she
gets a little more
Shes Miss America and...
she's Miss America
I'm just the girl next
door..
Reasons Why
In the company of strangers
I am less than fine
I am turning into wallpaper
before your eyes
Somehow I always end
up on the wrong side of this fight
One day I will get it
right
And I am not so hollow
I have nothing left for
you to borrow
Maybe it’s not too late
For me to fly
Maybe you underestimated
me
And now it’s time
Cause I am tired of this
fire
And I don’t need your
reasons why
No more choking on regrets
to keep you satisfied
I am coming up for air
out of this heavy night
Oh, the scenery is different
when you’re not so small
I think I can take this
fall
I am not so hollow
I have nothing left to
borrow
Chorus
Light up the sky for
me, oh I’ve been down too long
And when you turn your
eyes to see me, I’ll be gone
Chorus
Sleep On It
I hope you don’t mind
me saying
I think you’re so lovely
I hope you don’t mind
me staying
Cause I might never leave
We could rewind to nothing
And start at the beginning
Don’t forget to breathe
Chorus:
Baby, I don’t have much
But I’ve got more than
enough to keep you
Isn’t it nice to touch
Something solid you can
cling to?
Baby, I promise you this
You don’t know just what
you’re missing
I’ve got everything you’re
wanting
Maybe we could sleep
on it tonight.
I didn’t mean to alarm
you
Subtlety’s my weakness
Give me a minute to charm
you
And you’ll know what
I mean
Maybe I didn’t mention
You won’t regret my attention
I’ve got tricks you’ve
never seen
Chorus
Bridge:
Now that it’s all out
on the table,
Come and get it
You better love me while
you’re able
Chorus x2
Come Down To Me
Words fall out of my
mouth
And I can’t seem to trace
what I’m saying
Everybody wants your
time
I’m just dreaming out
loud,
I can’t have you for
mine and I know it
I just wanna watch you
shine.
Tripping up on my tongue,
It’s all over my face
and I’m racing
Gotta get away from you
Burning all the way home,
Try to put it to bed
but it chases
Every little thing I
do
When the light falls
on your face,
Don’t let it change you
When the stars get in
your eyes,
Don’t let them blind
you.
You’re beautiful
Just the way you are
And I love it all
Every line, and every
scar
And I wish that I could
make you see
This is where you ought
to be,
Come down to me.
Spell it out in a song,
Bet you never catch on
to my weakness
I’m singing every word
for you.
Here I’m thinking I’m
sly
Then you’re catching
my eye, and just maybe
You’re thinking what
I’m thinking too
When you see it on my
face,
Don’t let it shake you
I know better than to
try and
Take you with me |
Happy
Filling up my empty days
with red wine
Wonder what you think
of me?
Lying in the grass alone
and wasted
Nothing’s how it used
to be
I wanna be the first
to call and tell you
Yesterday I heard the
news
I hear you oughtta be
congratulated
So I guess that’s what
I’ll do
I’m so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I’m so elated
Cross my heart and hope
to die
I don’t think about you
every night
Before I close my eyes
I’m so happy for you
baby,
I could cry.
Listen to the sound of
my head pounding
Wish that it was make-believe
Praying for the skies
to open up and
Wash away your memory
I can walk around with
a pretty face on
Even when I’m black and
blue
What’s the point in telling
everybody
I’m not over you.
I’m so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I’m so elated
Cross my heart and hope
to die
I don’t think about you
every night
Before I close my eyes
I’m so happy for you
baby,
I could cry.
Cry about the love we
used to have
Cry that I won’t ever
get you back
Filling up my empty days
with red wine
Wonder what you think
of me?
I’m so happy for you
I could cry
Yeah, I’m so elated
Cross my heart and hope
to die
I’m so happy for you
So, so happy for you
I don’t think about you
every night
Before I close my eyes
I’m so happy for you
baby,
I could cry
Ordinary
City lights shine down
upon the place that I call home
Surrounded by a million
but I feel like I’m alone
And I might be a nobody
to you
But if I’m playing, would
you listen?
If you would get to know
me
Maybe you would love
me
I’m so ordinary
Dragging ‘round an old
guitar that I can’t even play
I fade into your background
like a piece of yesterday
I might be a nobody to
you
But somewhere they’re
gonna listen
If you would get to know
me
Maybe you would love
me
I’m so ordinary
And if you would let
me know you
Maybe I would show you
Wouldn’t we be something?
Sad the way we always
seem to pass by one another
Hiding, so afraid of
the things we might discover
Caught up in a moment
that only you can live in
You never know who’s
giving the air that you might breathe in
Chorus
City lights shine down
upon the place that I call home
Surrounded by a million
but I feel like I’m alone
And I might be a nobody
to you
But somewhere, they’re
gonna listen
Don't Stop
This is when the ink
stops flowing
This is when my head
starts going
This is when I just can’t
get it out
This is when the hits
keep comin’
Just when I think I’m
on to something
This is when the bottom
bottoms out
I promise good enough
for you
Then I never keep it
I pace the floor at night
when all the pretty world is sleeping
And all the world is
sleeping
When the lights go down
and the girls are screaming,
Don’t Stop Now.
Then I catch my breath
and my heart is beating and all I’m thinking is
Don’t Stop Now.
This is when my hands
are shaking
This is when the rules
are breaking
This is when the music
plays too loud
This is when it’s now
or never
When it goes from bad
to better,
This is when it all makes
sense somehow
I promise good enough
for you
And pray that I can keep
it
And all the world is
watching
While I’m open-mouthed
and dreaming
I promise good enough
for you
And find that I can keep
it
And all the world is
right with me
And all we are is breathing
When the lights go down
and the girls are screaming,
Don’t Stop Now.
Then I catch my breath
and my heart is beating and all I’m thinking is
Don’t Stop Now
This is when the ink
starts flowing
This is where my heart
is going
This is when my hands
belong to You
Mary
Little Miss Mary Sunshine
had a bad day
She says it’s overrated,
living this way
She took her hair down,
left her sweater on the floor
She’s not a nice girl
anymore
She says I won’t apologize
Stand up girls, and dry
your eyes
And I’ll see you on the
other side of good
Where we sing
She paints her fingernails
in black, she’s on the run
On the wrong side of
the tracks where life is fun
Points a finger, but
there’s nobody to blame
All the people in her
memory look the same
Chorus
Everybody’s favorite
girl
Doesn’t fake it anymore
I’m okay with who I am
today
Everybody’s gotta change
I’m just doing what I
can
Could you love me anyway?
Chorus
Little Miss Mary Sunshine

Autumn & Me
We were 17 and on our
own
When we hit the gas for
the great unknown
I was named for a boy,
she was named for the fall
And nothing much else
really mattered at all
I knew what happened
on her kitchen floor
And she knew what it
meant when I wrote on the door
Secrets spilled into
that dark
And everyone was a piece
of my heart
It’s a lullaby
It’s a beautiful life
And it sings me to sleep
most every night
So I hold it close
And I hide it away
That’s how I keep it
from going astray
Love doesn’t need a rhyme
or a reason to be
This is the story of
Autumn and me.
We grew up fast in a
few short years
And we littered the path
with the tracks of our tears
But we carved our names
in the proverbial wall
And nothing much else
really matters at all
We earned every line
in our 25 years
We cried over boys and
we laughed over beers
I wouldn’t trade the
girl for a song
She lets me know right
where I belong
Rooftop dancing in the
summer heat
New car crash on a one
way street
Strangers moving up to
the fourth floor
Strange, now nobody knows
me more
It’s a lullaby
It’s a beautiful life
And it sings me to sleep
most every night
So I hold it close
And I hide it away
That’s how I keep it
from going astray
Love doesn’t need a rhyme
or a reason to be
This is the story of
Autumn and me |
