歌曲歌词
When I was eight I had a friend with a pirate smile
Make believe and play pretend we were innocent and wild
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate, running down my alley way
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
We loved to watch them dive and soar, circle in the sky
Free as a bird from three to four and never knowing why
Neighbors pulled their wash back in, put away my Barbie and Ken
Look out overhead while Sally's pigeons fly
I had a fool's confidence that the world had no boundaries
But instincts and common sense, they come in different quantities
My heart began to skip to the beat of the boy next door
She had her eye across the street on someone shy and tall
We lived our dreams and challenged fate
In tears she told me she was late and Sally let his pigeons out to fly
On the dresser, sits a frame with a photograph
Two little girls in ponytails, some twenty one years back
She left one night with just a nod, was lost from some back alley job
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
She never saw those birds again, and me, I can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly, hmm

歌曲简介
歌曲歌词
I met a man who drew the line
He couldn't cross his fear of intimacy
He just sighed because he left behind all his fantasy
Ooh, hoo, ooh, woo, woo, yeah
If you build a wall up, high
You start to crumble
And you never know why
Your tears never dry
If you're running from the vision, that's in your eyes
There's a collision with what's inside, this ain't livin'
I need someone to hold, how did it get so cold
You say you need a little time
To heal from some romantic injury
And I say fine but if you change your mind
You can lean on me
Ooh, woo, woo, yeah
But I'm going on with my life, oh
I've seen it everyday
People get burned
And they throw love away
If you're running from the vision, that's in your eyes
There's a collision with what's inside, this ain't livin'
I need someone to hold, how did it get so cold
You say you need a little time
To heal from some romantic injury
And I say fine but if you change your mind
You can lean on me
Ooh, woo, woo, yeah
If you're running from the vision, that's in your eyes
There's a collision with what's inside, this ain't livin'
I need someone to hold, how did it get so cold
Cold, so cold, cold, so cold
Cold, cold, cold, cold
I need someone to hold
How did it get so cold
It's coming from the kitchen
It's coming from the sky
It's coming round the corner
Straight for you and I it gets so cold
Like I Used To

歌曲歌词
I know you expected me to act just like a schoolgirl
Followed your rules just like a fool, wrapped up in your world
What's good for you, don't mean that's so good for me
What can I do but hang around and lose myself just like I used to?
Go round and round, just like a loose screw
Well, I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand
And take things lying down like before
Won't take your crap the way I used to
Ain't gonna be the way it used to
Alright for you, ain't alright for me
Maybe I was weak though the average person probably thinks
I'm stronger, when I need someone else
I shut out myself, scared to say the wrong words
What's right for you, don't think that's alright for me
You spread the glue, so I can't move and stick to you just like I used to
Go 'round and 'round just like a loose screw
Oh, I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand
Ain't gonna do it like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Alright for you, ain't alright for me, no
Every time you push me down
Every time you screw me around
Every time you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession
Someone Like Me

歌曲歌词
Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees
And as I stand inside I know that I can't watch life through a window
My indecision is blocking the door
It's like a religion that I never ask for more
I might stumble and fall
What's someone like me doing in a life like this
Can't see what someone like me is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
Sun comes up and streams through the blinds
And as I throw my clothes on, do my hair wrong, stare into my mirror
Telling myself that everyone falls
Take the first step, that's the trick of it all
Bounce back like a ball
What's someone like me doing in a life like this
I can't see what someone like me is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
What's someone like me
Mind is filled with runaway dreams
Can't wake up, I don't know what it means
You see, I fell asleep with the television on
When I woke up it was gone
Rad my horoscope to see what's in store
Get a little lazy but ohh, I want more, ooh, I want more
Oh yeah, more
What's someone like me doing in a life like this
I can't see what someone like me is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
What's someone like me doing in a life like this
I can't see what someone like me is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
What's someone like me, someone like
Oh, what's somebody like me doing in a life like this
Oh, what's somebody like me doing in a life like this
