All I Really Want
You Oughta Know
Forgiven
You Learn
Mary Jane
Ironic
Your House
All I Really Want
Do I stress you out
And all I really want is some patience
Do I wear you out
What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Why are you so petrified of silence?
All I really want is some peace man
You Oughta Know
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
And I'm here to remind you
You seem very well, things look peaceful
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
And I'm here to remind you
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
Forgiven
You know how us Catholic girls can be
We all had our reasons to be there
I sang Alleluia in the choir
We all had our reasons to be there
What I learned I rejected but I believe again
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had delusions in our head
You Learn
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
You live you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
You live you learn
Wear it out (like a three-year-old would do)
You live you learn
You grieve you learn
Mary Jane
What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
It's a long way down
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
Well it's full speed baby
Please be honest Mary Jane
You're the sweet crusader
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Tell me
Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
It's like rain on your wedding day
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
It's like rain on your wedding day
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
A traffic jam when you're already late
It's like rain on your wedding day
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Not The Doctor
I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on your in a theater
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide,no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to but you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're sill alive
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
I'll see you next Sunday
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it
What's the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think?
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge
on your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces
together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart
and its wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
