Away From Here

They say, well that she went a little crazy
Though the details are kinda hazy
Just that her lover left her by the sea

And if you go down there late at night
She won’t even put up the good fight
Now that she sells her empty shell by the sea shore

But she says
I just want to have your good time, too
I just want to fill my void with you
Why can’t I just have your good time, too
Hey don’t I – deserve a good time

Doctor gives her a little something
Call it her coping mechanism
So she can come out of her shell by the sea shore

Still she always hoped that she’d be more
Than everybody’s favorite whore
Washed out, soaked through, and watered down by the sea

But she says
I just want to have your good time, too
I just want to feel as fine as you
Why can’t I just have your good time, too
Hey don’t I – deserve a

Good time
A good time
Good, good, good, good…

But she says
I just want to have your good time, too
I just want to feel like someone new
Why can’t I just have your good time, too
Hey don’t I – deserve a good time

Paper moon and paper stars
Meet me on the way to Mars
Meet me on the way away from here

Just get me far enough away
So that I don’t have to face
All the places I don’t measure up

Insomniac at 6 am
Afraid to sink, Afraid to swim
So I keep feeling sorry for myself

Paper doll without a dress
Oh and I am such a mess
So I just paint myself a perfect smile

Sometimes I can’t be strong enough

And, I guess I’ve become
So afraid of
Coming undone

Paper moon and paper stars
Meet me on the way to Mars
Meet me on the way away from here

Keep my skeletons at bay
Or I’ll scare everyone away
If I’m not the girl they think I am

Sometimes I can’t be strong enough

And, I guess I’ve become
So afraid of
Coming undone

I will hold on so tight to myself
So afraid of me
I’m coming undone

Would it be okay just if I was to touch you
While you’re lying on my table on your back
See, I like it when a girl makes it easy
So will you be armed to ward off my attack

Come on girl everybody trusts me
‘Cause I’m position and credentials, after all
Now, it’s not pretty for a girl to be so angry
And my you’re such a pretty little girl

Tell me
Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
I’m trying to

And when it’s done I will have built my castle
With walls thicker than my skin
And I will be the queen of all the cowards
And I’ll rule out your guilt and own your sin
In my dreams I’m not afraid to kick your teeth in
In my dreams I’m not afraid to tell
And I save girls from your routine examinations
And it’s my turn to laugh and your turn to go to hell

Tell me
Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
I’m trying to

Leave behind that little girl who never really mattered

Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
Do I make you uncomfortable
I’m trying to

Do I make you uncomfortable…
My you’re such a pretty little girl

Prima donna do you wanna
Let us all in on your drama
Tell us what would make you happy
Little princess superstar
You’re the fairest one by far
Yes, we all think you’re so pretty
So pretty

So cry, baby
Little crybaby
Come on and cry, baby
Cry

Perfectly miserable martyr
Tell us again how your life’s harder
Make us feel so very sorry
Everybody’s watching you
Just the way you taught them to
Does it make you not so lonely
So lonely

So cry, baby
Little crybaby
Come on and cry, baby
Cry

So, I guess you make me sad
‘Cause I know it’s all you have
But I guess it makes you happy
So happy
So happy

So cry, baby
Little crybaby
Come on and cry, baby
Cry

Kiss me here
‘Cause I’ve got the dirt
On you my dear
It’s your turn to hurt
So kiss me here
I’m gonna make you pay

Kiss me here
‘Cause I’m so resilient
And it’s clear
You’re not too brilliant
Kiss me here
Go on and make my day

Revenge so sweet
Get on your knees
Beg and say please
Pucker up sleaze

Kiss me here
‘Cause you dished it out
So take it dear
Swallow it down and
Kiss me here
You’re so pathetically lame

Kiss me here
‘Cause I know whose under
Your veneer
And I’ve blown your cover
Kiss me here
Come on, have you no shame

Revenge so sweet
Get on your knees
Beg and say please
Pucker up sleaze

Kiss me here
Below the belt
Where you hit dear
‘Cause I’m gonna tell
So kiss me here
I’m not afraid to say

You know that I can
You know that I

Revenge so sweet
Get on your knees
Beg and say please
Pucker up sleaze

Please let me be
The one to make you smile
Please let me be
More than your once in a while
Please let me be
On your lips lingering
Please let me be
Your in between and everything

I just want you closer
I just want you closer
I just want you closer
To me

Please let me be
Tangled up in your embrace
Please let me be
Your most bewitching fall from grace
Please let me be
The guilty pleasure you can’t refuse
Please let me be
The one that you’re afraid to lose

I just want you closer
I just want you closer
I just want you closer
To me

Could you be everything that
Could you fill every space that
Could you really replace everything that
Could you be everything that
I’m missing

Please let me be
The one that you let through
Please let me be
Enough for you

I just want you closer
I just want you closer
I just want you closer
To me

__________________________________________

I would lose my breath and my balance
Just to look at you
Just to feel you look at me
And that scares me, too
‘Cause I’ve been here before
And I’ve fallen apart

But I would try for you
Just please don’t ask me to
‘Cause you know that I do

You are made of many wishes
That I’ve kept in me
And sometimes I just don’t believe
Who you let me be
‘Cause you’ve seen my faces
But you’re still here

So I would try for you
Just please don’t ask me to
‘Cause you know that I do
Oh I would try for you
Just please don’t ask me to
‘Cause you know that I do

And so I’ve finally met the one who makes my spirit smile
I hope you know that it is you

So I would try for you
Just please don’t ask me to
‘Cause you know that I do
Oh I would try for you
Just please don’t ask me to
‘Cause you know that I do
Adore you

Once upon a time I waited for
A standard issue prince to save my day
But ever since we first collided your
Crazy love’s my sweeter way

I get more out of it
I get more out of it
I get more out of it
Whenever you’re around

I Once was lost but now I’m finding
That eventually you know without a doubt
If you’ve got something worth rewinding
And that’s really all it’s about

I get more out of it
I get more out of it
I get more out of it
Whenever you’re a–

Round and round we go
Caught up in what we think we know
Missing what we really need

I get more out of it
I get more out of it
I get more out of it
Whenever you’re
I do adore
Whenever you’re around

__________________________________________

I’m a little bit pretty
But I’m pretty smart
And I see through
Your beguiling heart
And I don’t want you
Anyway
You used to have me
Under your skin
Now there’s a vacancy
I don’t fit in
But I don’t want to
Anyway

Now you’re gone
So

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
I don’t taste you
I don’t breathe you
I don’t ache for you
I don’t grieve for you
I won’t wait for you
Anyway

I’ve watched you breathing
In between my thighs
And I’ve watched you breathing
In between your lies
But I don’t want you
Anyway

Yeah, I’m well aware
Of everything you didn’t say
I’m well aware
That you never felt the same
But I don’t want you to
Anyway

Now you’re gone
So

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
I don’t taste you
I don’t breathe you
I don’t ache for you
I don’t grieve for you
I won’t wait for you
Anyway
Anyway I’m just fine

I know you well enough
To know you don’t know me
You never wanted me
Just the girl you thought that I should be
But I don’t want to be
Anyway

Now you’re gone
So

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
I don’t taste you
I don’t breathe you
I don’t ache for you
I don’t grieve for you
I won’t wait for you
Anyway
