Be Not Nobody
Album - 30 aprile 2002 - Debaser id 27400

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
He was looking to the sky and
As he asked, if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds, just what he's lookin' for
Like a shooting star, he shines
And he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal, and
As I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time, and he said

Take my hand
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand

Please come with me
See what I've seen
Touch the stars, for time will not flee
Time will not flee, can you see

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Was it all in my head
Didn't he ask, if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal, and he said

Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
He was lookin' to the sky

If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match, and meet the standards that you set
Oh, how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better, if only I could find the door

I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
I am melting away

[chorus]
I wait for the words on the tip of your tounge
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide, as my song goes unsung (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Things are goin' crazy and I'm not sure who to blame
Everything is changing and I do not feel the same
I'm slippin' through the cracks of floors I thought that were strong
I'm tryin' to find a place where I can feel like I belong

Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
I am melting away

[chorus]

If I could be the lesson that you learn, you learn if only
I could be the last one that love burns, its burns...yeah
[2x]

If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match, and meet the standards that you set
Oh, how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better if I could find the door

Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
And I am melting away

[chorus]

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

(Chorus)
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

Chorus

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh, oh

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight

You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you

Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round, oh pretty baby

And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that you'll never learn
Oh, just the scent of you, it makes me hurt
So how's it you that makes me better

Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin'

Why can't you hold me and never let go
When you touch me, it is me that you own
Pretty baby, oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again, oh pretty baby

Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby, why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round

Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
Oh pretty baby, my pretty baby, my pretty baby
Don't you leave me

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eyes
She would suffer, she would fight and compromise
She's been wishin' up the stars that shine so bright
For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse
This all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse
This all away
She can't love him
This way

How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved, if he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be freed
But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
Till she knows that the heart of a woman will never
Be found in the arms of a man

She must rinse
This all away
She can't hold anybody this way
She must rinse
This all away
She can't love him

And as she runs away, she fears she won't be followed
What could be worse than leaving something behind
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
Its loneliness she finds
If only he was mine

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eyes
She would suffer, she would fight and compromise
She's been wishin' up the stars that shine so bright
For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she wont, she must rinse him

She must rinse
This all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse
This all away
She can't love him
This way

My heart, your hands, gentle my friend
Break me neatly, numb me sweetly

Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything

Come down heavy, try and steady
Precious ladies, love you, love me

Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything

Hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
I'll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down

Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway

Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything

Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd come and stop the rain

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well, nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When cover's tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight
To fight

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise

As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well, all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take her artificial light
Her light

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright
Alright

Don't pretend to hold it in, just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in, just push it out
Don't you try to hold it in, just let it out
Don't you try to hold it in, hold it in

One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been

Willing and able to run
I am
Willing and able I'm able to come (2x)

And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Would you bring it back around
Oh, baby how (2x)

Willing and able to run
I am
Willing and able I'm able to come

If it all went away
Nothin' left to say
oh Would you fight it or would you lay down
At the hand of your God oh could you see the light
Oh my prince can't you see what's been found

Willing and able to run
Willing and able to come
willing and able to run,
I am willing, I am willing,
willing,willing.

Willing and able to run
I am
Willing and able I'm able to come(2x)

And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Would you bring it back around
Oh, baby how (2x)

Willing and able to run
I am
Willing and able I'm able to come(2x)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they are painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads, and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it's heading into black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black, oh baby

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
Oh, black as night black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
Painted, painted, painted black, oh baby
Painted, painted, painted black.......

I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight

Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face
Couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change
Whatever came within these shallow days

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen

As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight

I was stained, by a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight...
