If I was who I was before
Then I'd be waiting at your door
But I cannot confess I am the same
So, look at me and hear me now
With all my body screaming out
In my mind I'm thinking of a place
Where no one knows me
No one knows you
And you don't know me
And I don't know you
If you would open up your heart
Drop your weapons, drop your guard
Just a little trust is all it takes
Oh, I know that you've been around
But hear me now, I'm crying out
Let me be the light upon the lake
But if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
Give a little, get a little, give a little
Give a little, get a little, give a little
If only we could find a way
To leave all of our darker days
Soak in all the sweetness on our skin
Oh, and if you're waiting in the Sun
Then carry me on wings of love
To that brighter day where all begins
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
Give a little, get a little, give a little
Ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
But if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And no one knows me
And no one knows you
You don't know me
And I don't know you
Everything's fresh, yeah
Everything's new
But you don't know me
I don't know you
Oh, I can feel it starting up now, yeah
I can feel it all just coming through
There's a whole new world just waiting, baby
So much waiting just for me and you

Overnight
I remember way back, late night, throwback
Sitting on the front lawn talking
When I lost it, and oh, I lost it
I remember you were saying you would come back, run back
Find me on the front porch like that
But you waited, so I got wasted
And I've always said
I'd never let myself hold on this long
'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I'm still high
And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me
I'm gone
I still wonder if I called you, what would I do?
Leave a too long voicemail that I hate and then erase it
Like I planned it
And I wonder if I still lived in the city
Would I see you at a party take a big sip of my whiskey and then leave quickly
And pray you missed me
And though I still know exactly how this ends
I keep holding on
'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here, and I'm still high
And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
You know I'll meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me
I'm gone
Oh, I feel it in me
Please forgive me
Leave this memory
Don't say you miss me
I know it's still in me
Please forgive me
Leave this memory
Don't say you miss me
'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I might still be high
'Cause I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I must still be high
But I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
Oh, if you meet me in the middle of the night
You know I'll meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Yeah, lie to me
I'm gone
Sitting on the front lawn talking
When I lost it, and oh, I lost it
I remember you were saying you would come back, run back
Find me on the front porch like that
But you waited, so I got wasted
And I've always said
I'd never let myself hold on this long
'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I'm still high
And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me
I'm gone
I still wonder if I called you, what would I do?
Leave a too long voicemail that I hate and then erase it
Like I planned it
And I wonder if I still lived in the city
Would I see you at a party take a big sip of my whiskey and then leave quickly
And pray you missed me
And though I still know exactly how this ends

'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here, and I'm still high
And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
You know I'll meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me
I'm gone
Oh, I feel it in me
Please forgive me
Leave this memory
Don't say you miss me
I know it's still in me
Please forgive me
Leave this memory
Don't say you miss me
'Cause people change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I might still be high
'Cause I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Change overnight
Things get strange, but I'm alright
I'm still here and I must still be high
But I'll still meet you in the middle of the night
Oh, if you meet me in the middle of the night
You know I'll meet you in the middle of the night
But if you lie to me, lie to me
Yeah, lie to me
I'm gone

The Knife
The knife of insight tore its way in me
A brash collision without sympathy
And maybe when the sun goes down
Come 'round, I'll come out
Maybe we could take some time
Unwind, figure out
When the knife of insight tore its way in me
Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down
Give a little, oh, we'll figure this out
Keep me up, keep my mind around
After dark, after light
Let it go if you want, get loud
Make a little fuss, oh, it's all allowed
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark, after light
After dark, after light
Oh, the knife of insight brought me to my knees
Broke me down and taught me how to see
And I know, and I know, and I know that maybe we should
Take some time, get this out, make this right
Maybe when the sun goes down
Come 'round, tell you all about
When the knife of insight brought me to my knees
Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down
Give a little, oh, we'll figure this out
Keep me up, keep my mind around
After dark, after light
Let it go if you want, get loud
Spark a little, oh its all allowed
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark, after light
Whoa, after dark, after light
Oh, oh
And maybe I'm crazy, maybe you know
But I've got this feeling it's all 'bout to blow
Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe you know that
I've got this feeling it's all about to blow
When the knife, the knife, the knife
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down
Give a little, oh, we'll figure this out
Keep me up, keep my mind around
After dark, after light
Let it go if you want, get loud
Love a little, oh, it's all allowed
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark, after light
Oh, after dark, after light
After dark, after light
Oh, oh
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark
And the knife
Oh, the knife
Oh
A brash collision without sympathy
And maybe when the sun goes down
Come 'round, I'll come out
Maybe we could take some time
Unwind, figure out
When the knife of insight tore its way in me
Oh, hit me up if you're feeling down
Give a little, oh, we'll figure this out
Keep me up, keep my mind around
After dark, after light
Let it go if you want, get loud
Make a little fuss, oh, it's all allowed
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark, after light
After dark, after light
Oh, the knife of insight brought me to my knees
Broke me down and taught me how to see
And I know, and I know, and I know that maybe we should
Take some time, get this out, make this right

Oh, after dark, after light
After dark, after light
Oh, oh
Beautiful how it all pours out
After dark
And the knife
Oh, the knife

Alaska
I was walking through icy streams
That took my breath away
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains
And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed
And now, breathe deep, I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be, I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Cut my hair so I could rock back and forth
Without thinkin' of you
Learned to talk and say
Whatever I wanted to
And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed
And now, breathe deep, I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be, I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) (ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
You and I, there's air in between
That took my breath away
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains
And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed
And now, breathe deep, I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be, I'm exhaling

Light On
Would you believe me now
If I told you I got caught up in a wave?
Almost gave it away
Would you hear me out
If I told you I was terrified for days?
Thought I was gonna break
Oh, I couldn't stop it
Tried to slow it all down
Crying in the bathroom
Had to figure it out
With everyone around me saying
"You must be so happy now"
Oh, if you keep reachin' out
Then I'll keep comin' back
'Cause if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
And I am findin' out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancin'
At the end of the day
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
And do you believe me now
That I always had the best intentions, babe?
Always wanted to stay
And can you feel me now
That I'm vulnerable in oh-so many ways?
Oh, and I'll never change
Oh, I couldn't stop it
Tried to figure it out
But everything kept moving
And the noise got too loud
With everyone around me saying
"You should be so happy now"
Oh, if you keep reachin' out
Then I'll keep comin' back
And if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
And if you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
And I am findin' out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancin'
At the end of the day
And if you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
Oh, leave the light on
Oh, would you leave the light on?
Oh
If you keep reachin' out
Then I'll keep comin' back
But if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
And I am findin' out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancin'
At the end of the day
And if you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
(Light on, light on, light on)
Oh, if you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
Oh, if you leave the light on
Mm
If I told you I got caught up in a wave?

Past Life
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Felt it in the breeze
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Comin' right for me
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Saw it on TV
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Saw it staring right on back at me
Oh, I could feel the shadow comin'
Straight on down the line
Masquerading like it was a friend of mine
Oh, I could feel the darkness wrappin'
All its arms in mine
Oh, I could feel the world was turnin'
All inside my mind
Oh, I could feel the world was turnin'
All inside, all inside my mind
I knew it when it started
Felt the shift right as it parted
Saw my feet right down below me
Saw the whole room move around me
Saw my old life and my old friends
Saw me haunted, saw me back again
Oh, maybe there's a past life coming out inside of me
Maybe it's the song I'm singing'
Maybe everything's just turnin' out how it should be
Maybe there's a past life comin' out inside of me
Oh, maybe there's a past life comin' out inside, inside of me
Felt it in the breeze
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Comin' right for me
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Saw it on TV
Oh, I could feel the change a comin'
Saw it staring right on back at me
Oh, I could feel the shadow comin'
Straight on down the line
Masquerading like it was a friend of mine
Oh, I could feel the darkness wrappin'
All its arms in mine
Oh, I could feel the world was turnin'
All inside my mind
Oh, I could feel the world was turnin'
All inside, all inside my mind

Say It
Standing in the open light
Within the swelter of the night
I found myself staring at you
And every time our fingers touched
I felt like it would be too much
And too little to hang onto
I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you
I knew it when you looked my way
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I felt it burning in the way
I held on when you pulled away
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it
And every evening, every time
I keep replaying in my mind
And wondering if you do the same
And if it makes you lose your breath
And if it makes you just forget
That all of it's a bit insane
I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you
I knew it when you looked my way
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I felt it burning in the way
I held on when you pulled away
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I knew it when you looked my way
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't say it)
I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't, I couldn't say it, say it)
I felt it burning in the way
I held on when you pulled away (mm, melting in the way)
I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't say it)
I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't say it)
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it
But, I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you
Within the swelter of the night
I found myself staring at you
And every time our fingers touched
I felt like it would be too much
And too little to hang onto
I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you
I knew it when you looked my way
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I felt it burning in the way
I held on when you pulled away
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it
And every evening, every time
I keep replaying in my mind
And wondering if you do the same
And if it makes you lose your breath
And if it makes you just forget

I cannot feel this way so soon

I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't, I couldn't say it, say it)

I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't say it)
I couldn't say it to myself (I couldn't say it)
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it
But, I cannot fall in love with you
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
I cannot be this way with you
I cannot fall in love with you

On Off
I'm coming up slowly
I'm high on emotion
With waves of this feeling
As wide as the ocean
And then I see you
When I feel like I'm drowning
And then I see you
It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, I'm alright again
It's okay, I'm okay, it's okay

When you're sleeping or your day takes you low so low
When I'm on and off again
On and off again, on and off again, oh oh
Take me to that space when I need someone
When I'm shaking or my mind starts coming undone

Fallingwater
Hold on, I thought that I could take it from here
Oh, I thought that I was gone and I'm cleared
Now it's getting harder (ooh)
Hold on, I thought that I was doing so well
Oh, like everything was under a spell
Now it's getting harder
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water
Go on and tell me just what I'm supposed to say
As if it could be any other way
Oh, it's getting louder
Go on and tell me just how I could allow
All that's light to end up somehow
Where it's getting darker
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm stuck upstream
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water, falling water, falling water
Mm, mm, mm, mm
And I'm like falling water, set me free
You were like falling water coming down on me
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek
I never gave you everything, I wish I could (and it was coming down on me)
I should've seen it coming from where you stood (and I was standing in the creek)
But now I'm in the creek (and I'm like falling water, set me free)
(Now we're like falling water down in the creek)
And it's getting harder (and it was coming down on me)
And it was falling down on me (and I was standing in the creek)
And I was standing in the creek (you were like falling water)
I'm like falling water (now we're like falling water)
(In the creek, ooh, ooh)
Oh, I thought that I was gone and I'm cleared
Now it's getting harder (ooh)
Hold on, I thought that I was doing so well
Oh, like everything was under a spell
Now it's getting harder
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water
Go on and tell me just what I'm supposed to say
As if it could be any other way
Oh, it's getting louder
Go on and tell me just how I could allow
All that's light to end up somehow
Where it's getting darker
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm stuck upstream
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water, falling water, falling water
Mm, mm, mm, mm
And I'm like falling water, set me free
You were like falling water coming down on me
I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek
I never gave you everything, I wish I could (and it was coming down on me)

But now I'm in the creek (and I'm like falling water, set me free)
(Now we're like falling water down in the creek)
And it's getting harder (and it was coming down on me)
And it was falling down on me (and I was standing in the creek)
And I was standing in the creek (you were like falling water)
I'm like falling water (now we're like falling water)
(In the creek, ooh, ooh)

Retrograde
You said, "I can't take no more"
Lyin' by the sycamore
And I know
We've both been here before
You said, "F*ck, let's leave the blame"
But heartache always feels the same
And I know
We've both been here before
Oh, here I am, settled in at your house
Broken blinds keep the light comin' out
And I am just the shape I'm in
Ooh, here I am, settled in, crying out
Finding all the things that I can't do without
Oh, I am giving in
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Retrograde
Standing, staring straight ahead
Listening when Stevie says
Mm, "Come out of the darkness"
Feeling all I've ever known
Fall away and letting go
Oh, come out of the darkness
Oh, here I am, settled in on your floor
Quietly, all the world outside your door
And I am reckoning
Oh, here I am, settled in, freaking out
You bring me in to help me, let me get me out
Oh I, I, I
I'm in retrograde
I'm in retrograde
Oh, if only I could give in, if I could get out
Only I could break in, if you could let me out
Only I could let go, if I could sit out
If only I could get back, if I could let me out
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Yeah, mm
I'm in retrograde, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Lyin' by the sycamore
And I know
We've both been here before
You said, "F*ck, let's leave the blame"
But heartache always feels the same
And I know
We've both been here before
Oh, here I am, settled in at your house
Broken blinds keep the light comin' out
And I am just the shape I'm in
Ooh, here I am, settled in, crying out
Finding all the things that I can't do without
Oh, I am giving in
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Retrograde
Standing, staring straight ahead
Listening when Stevie says

Oh, come out of the darkness
Oh, here I am, settled in on your floor
Quietly, all the world outside your door
And I am reckoning
Oh, here I am, settled in, freaking out
You bring me in to help me, let me get me out
Oh I, I, I
I'm in retrograde
I'm in retrograde
Oh, if only I could give in, if I could get out
Only I could break in, if you could let me out
Only I could let go, if I could sit out
If only I could get back, if I could let me out
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Yeah, mm
I'm in retrograde, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Burning
I've been sleepin', barely dreamin'
Through one year and one half
Found another, called him my lover
Helped me get my old self back
It was you
It was you
Only you
You remind me, oh, you bring me back
And you said
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
Oh, I was reckless, once was breathless
Running from that day I snapped
But I've got a feeling and keep believing
I'm never gonna give this back
It was you
It was you
Only you
Oh, I'm never gonna give this back
And you said
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
And if you're givin' up, would you tell me?
I'm gonna keep this love if you let me
And if you're givin' up, would you tell me?
I'm gonna keep this love
And you said
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
Through one year and one half
Found another, called him my lover
Helped me get my old self back
It was you
It was you
Only you
You remind me, oh, you bring me back
And you said
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive

I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning

I'm gonna keep this love if you let me
And if you're givin' up, would you tell me?
I'm gonna keep this love
And you said
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning

Back in My Body
I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
Crashing all around me with a great triumphant sound
Like the dam was breaking and my mind came rushing in
I was stopped in London, oh, I was awakening
I was
I was o'er in Paris when I almost ran away
Two times round the block before I decided to stay
Puffed along a cigarette that went and made me sick
Spent another day pretending I was over it
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And all along the highway there's a tiny whispering sound
Saying I could find you in the dark of any town
But all that I am hearing in the poem of my mind
Are sullen, twisted words finding their way in every line
Oh, this time, oh, this time
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Lost you in the border town of anywhere
I found myself when I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm
(Back in my body, oh, oh)
(Back in my body, oh, oh)
(Back in my body, oh, oh)
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Lost you in the border town of anywhere
I found myself when I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh, oh
Crashing all around me with a great triumphant sound
Like the dam was breaking and my mind came rushing in
I was stopped in London, oh, I was awakening
