Hard Candy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On certain Sundays in November
When the weather bothers me
I empty drawers of other summers
Where my shadows used to be
And she is standing by the water
As her smile begins to curl
In this or any other summer
She is something altogether different
Never just an ordinary girl
[Verse 2]
And in the evenings on Long Island
When the colors start to fade
She wears a silly yellow hat
That someone gave her when she stayed
I didn't think that she returned it
We left New York in a whirl
Time expands and then contracts
When you are spinning in the grips of someone
Who is not an ordinary girl
And when you sleep
You find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake
The morning covers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
But it's just the same hard candy
You're remembering again
You send your lover off to China
Then you wait for her to call
You put your girl up on a pedestal
Then you wait for her to fall
I put my summers back in a letter
And I hide it from the world
All the regrets you can't forget
Are somehow pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary girl
[Chorus]
And when you sleep
You find your mother in the night
But she fades just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake
The morning showers you with light
And it makes you feel all right
But it's just the same hard candy
You're remembering again
[Bridge]
Again, again, again, again
And it's just the same hard candy
You're remembering again
Again, again, again, again
And it's just the same hard candy
You're remembering again
[Outro]
Go ask her to come around
And see me late after dark
Don't ask me to come around
Then wait to see if there's a spark
Go ask her to come around
And see me late after dark
Don't ask me to come around
Then make me wait to see the spark
Go ask her to come around
Late and see me after dark
Don't ask me to come around
Then wait to if there is a spark
Go ask her to come around
Late and see me late after dark
Don't ask me...
Butterfly in Reverse Lyrics
7 ContributorsButterfly In Reverse LyricsMary Anne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Mary Anne, you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Had a lot of girlfriends
I should have known them
Click your heels and count back from three
Do you wanna go back?
You should have known that
The butterfly in reverse here is me
Mary Anne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Mary Anne, you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Where'd you wanna go to
With nothing beside you
But webbing and curfews and rain?
And everything that hurts you
Is locked up inside you
Like butterflies with wings
And other perfect things
We go swimming in the sunshine
Dangling from clotheslines
Separate and fall into me
And did you ever seen me?
Me absolutely?
Me, but all you, but still me?
Mary Anne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Mary Anne, you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Miami Lyrics
8 ContributorsMiami LyricsI guess I think I feel alright
You come circling through the light
The skyline is bright tonight
What more perfect rendezvous?
The sundown paints the shadows through the daylight
Amy, on what we do
It looks like darkness to me
Drifting down into Miami
Can I say I wish that this weather would never leave?
It just gets hard to believe
That God sent this angel to watch over me
'Cause my angel, she don't receive my calls
Says I'm too dumb to fuck
Too dumb to fight
Too dumb to save
Well, maybe I don't need no angel at all
It looks like darkness to me, oh
Drifting down into Miami
She could pull the sunlight through me
Coming down into Miami
Make a circle in the sand
Make a halo with your hands
I'll make a place for you to land
The bus is running
It's time to leave
This summer’s gone and so are we
So come on baby
Let's go shut it down in New Orleans
Black and Blue Lyrics
8 ContributorsBlack And Blue LyricsFading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you'd shatter in the blink of an eye
But you keep sailing right on through
Every time you say you're learning
You just look a lot like me
Pale under the blistering sky
White and red
Black and blue
You've been waiting a long time
You've been waiting a long time
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
Just fall asleep next to me
Wait for everyone to go away
And in a dimly lit room where you've got nothing to hide
Say your goodbyes
Tell yourself we'll read a note that says
"I'm sorry everyone
I'm tired of feeling nothing
Goodbye"
Wash your face
Dry your eyes
You've been waiting a long time
You've been waiting a long time
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
But fall asleep next to me
Have a dream I'm falling down on my face
I scrape my knees
I scrape my hands until they bleed
'Cause you're fast asleep next to me
Next to me
Next to me
Next to me
Why Should You Come When I Call? Lyrics
6 ContributorsWhy Should You Come When I Call? LyricsIt's one thirty in the morning
But that's all right by me
Weren't you just waiting by the phone
Well, I should give a little warning
But I need the things I need
I'm not proud to need a hand
But I just don't understand
So why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own
Ain't necessarily a bad thing
To believe the things I say
'Cause you can make yourself feel good
You know, it's really not a good thing
To give everything to me
I'm just waiting for the show
'Cause I got nowhere to go
So why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own
Cause nothing makes me feel so good (makes me feel so good)
And gets me high (gets me high)
So I sleep at night
And let's me know that everything's all right
I feel nice
I'm so sorry in the morning
You can believe what you believe
But I'm used to waking up alone
But if you think about it
Anyone you think about is better love than me
But if you've not fallen quite asleep
I might call tonight
If that's alright
Why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own
Oh, why should you come when I call?
Oh, why do I go when I go?
Why should you
Why should you come when I call?
Why should you come
Why should you come when I call?
