Better Than Ezra Lyrics
Crazy Lucky lyrics - Better Than Ezra
There are six and three quarter billion people in this world
And 51 percent of them are girls
You roll your eyes like I'm full of it,
But I Googled that shit
And if the world is four times bigger than the moon
Then tell me, how on Earth did I find you
With just two grains of sand blowing on the beach
Damn that's deep.
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Feeling like oh oh oh
Like we're crazy lucky
There are so many reasons that we shouldn't have met
I could've turned right when you turned left
But the world's got a funny way of stacking the deck
Don't forget
Too much heartache, too many nights
So many coulda, woulda, shoulda but you never tried
I can't figure out if we were meant to be
Or just crazy lucky
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Oh, whoo whoo, hey, whoo ooo hey, crazy crazy
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love me
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
But the way, the way you love me
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Feeling like oh oh oh
Like we're crazy lucky
Crazy lucky
Gonna Get Better lyrics - Better Than Ezra
It's 4 am you drunk again
Blowin' up my phone
You say I know it's late
But this can't wait
I don't trust myself alone
You getting loaded ever night
It's getting harder to watch you die
It's 4 am and as your best friend
I refuse to let you go
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
We've had each others back
For the last 20 something years
But right now I don't recognize
The stranger standing here
Where is the light in your eyes
Where did the person go that I idolized
It's 4 am, it's your best friend
Come on, let me in
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
Look at the sky
It's getting light
You never have to apologize
If you wanna stay
That's okay
As long as it takes to be alright
Better...
You know it's gonna get better
You know it's gotta get better, better
Even though it's hard to see it now
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
Undeniable lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I'll put my head inside an oven
If I need some air
But you can save me that frustration
By just comin' over here
Cause you're more than just a little
Hypnotic and morose
I'm in a compromise position
And the doctor at my throat
What I want, what I need
Are two different things
And I want, what I see
So give it to me
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
There's a thrill in isolation
In the center of my chest
You're a blue bird of obsession
You're a cardiac arrest
Pick a number and a number
Put your back against the wall
It's a power sensation
When you're feeling vulnerable
Simmer down
Take a breath
And wait for the rest
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
Low down, what I see
Got more body than a money got green
Low down, what I see
Got more body than a money got green
Low down, what I see
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
Insane lyrics - Better Than Ezra
(Oh...)
Hey...
Back and forth, around and around in your head
Your big day coming but you're hiding in bed
No, daddy's girl's crying in an elegant wedding dress
Cause she's starting to show but the baby ain't his
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Now, she loves him but he never loved her
Can't nobody say why they stay together (always something)
The vows they swore were easily crossed
And time goes by but the meaning gets lost
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Red rover, red rover, let your lover come over
(Ain't honesty in short supply?)
Red rover, red rover, let the right one come over
(Don't it make you wanna cry?)
[Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again
and hoping for a different outcome.]
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Sunflowers lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Alligator bitch slap so correct
Mississippi love bites on my neck
I woke up in L.A., bouncing rubber checks
I need you to correct my navigation
Brushing your teeth with a cigarette
Devil horns growing from your silhouette
I know I should run but I can't quit
I need you to squeeze me
Is it something, honey, that I said?
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Bouncing baby dynamite on your knee
She got me in a corner but I don't bleed
You always got another trick up your sleeve
Darling, you got a sick imagination
Fixing me breakfast in your underwear
Shaking that mon petite derrière
No, no, no, don't give a damn if the neighbors stare
I know you gonna thrill me
Is it something, honey, that I said?
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
(Ooo, you put the sunflowers
Ooo, lemonade in my head
Ooo, you put the sunflowers
Ooo, lemonade in my head
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh)
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
The Great Unknown lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
She said, "The stars look better in the desert
When you're rolling with a friend
Ain't got shit to do in Baton Rouge
So, what have I got to lose?"
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
Singing ay oh, whoa...
Singing ay oh, whoa...
(I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there)
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Hand hanging out the window
And Petty playing on the radio
Singing, "Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes."
Only a thousand miles to go
I bet back at home they're waking up
Wondering where the hell I've run
Hand hanging out the window
And Petty playing on the radio
Singing ay oh, whoa...
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
(Oh...)
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
She took a long trip on a moonless night
And she never came home again
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
(Ay oh, whoa...)
Into the great unknown
Before You lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Red lights and caffeine
Shaping up like any day
Same familiar routines
Everybody's on their way
Shuttered and cut off
I thought I was shatter-proof
Lost and marooned
Before you
Standing in that open door
Before you
Never had been here
Before you
The world was framed in black and white
So, is it any wonder
That now it's in a different light?
A burst of technicolor
Sea change emotion
Suddenly is overdue
Nothing to lose
Before you
Standing in that open door
Before you
Never would believe
Before you
Ooo...
Ghostland transmission
In the ether coming through
But I never knew
Before you
Standing in that open door
Before you
Never had been here
Before you
Smiling in that open door
Before you
Who would have believed?
Before you
Dollar Sign lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Baby baby baby tell me why you buyin' them shoes
All the money honey in the world won't make him love you
Maxing out another credit card don't change how you feel
Don't conceal, what is real when you got whatcha you do
You sellin' out your soul soul soul soul soul
Chasin' after gold gold gold gold gold
Ain't telling you nothin' that you don't already know
Dollar sign, dollar sign
In your eyes
Shiny things, diamond rings
Gonna make you blind
You got... all the pie in the sky
That you can't eat
Dollar sign, dollar sign
Right where your heart should be
Hey (Hey)
What's the matter with your mind
Dollar sign
You got a Maybach trunk full of expensive junk
Rubbing shoulders with the Jones
Its a bitch keeping up
Here a couple thousand for that dress
And with your black American Express
But the lovin' that you got from me was priceless
Dollar sign, dollar sign
In your eyes
Shiny things, diamond rings
Gonna make you blind
You got... all the pie in the sky
That you can't eat
Dollar sign, dollar sign
Right where your heart should be
Hey (Hey)
What's the matter with your mind
Dollar sign
You got all them people do it for you
But you still can't cope
You got a trillion dollar portfolio
But your heart is broke
And all the gold in the Earth
Can't compare to whatcha you're worth
Dollar sign dollar sign
Where your heart should be
Little mama hard to find in the Florida Keys
I remember just fine, it was you and me
Just layin' on the beach where you need no cheese
But ya ya I'm Texas, drivin' in a Lexus
Doing anything just to get ahead
But you should see my next chick
She's gonna be the best chick
You should have stuck with me instead
Dollar sign, dollar sign
In your eyes
Shiny things, diamond rings
Gonna make you blind
You got... all the pie in the sky
That you can't eat
Dollar sign, dollar sign
Right where your heart should be
Hey (Hey)
What's the matter with your mind
Dollar sign
Hey (Hey)
What's the matter with your mind
Dollar sign
One Heart Beating lyrics - Better Than Ezra
There's a treasure in the wreckage of your soul, oh
A drum machine buried deep beneath the snow, oh
There's a blinding light shining through these bloodshot eyes
There's a silent sound keeping you awake at night
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
Rock steady, I don't ever wanna sleep , oh
My blood is burning and they're fighting in the streets, oh
There's a light ahead and it's coming straight for you
Like a tidal wave, now there's nothing you can do
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love
(Shine a light on love)
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
(Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love)
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
(Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love)
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
(Shine a light on love
Shine a light on love)
And it's one heart beating, oh, oh
(Shine a light on love)
Diamond In My Pocket lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
My little cutie in a leopard print coat
She's shining brighter than a Mardi Gras float
That girl is such a dime
Dancing the second line
She's got my number and no other
Come for me tonight
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
I don't need money when I got a lot of you
The hooker's dealers they got nothing I can use, use
Down in the marinade
We got our own parade
We live’n loud and loose, breaking through the barricade
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
It's the sway of your hips, it's the color of your lips
Saying aya, aya
It's the shiver of your skin
Tell me where should I begin
Saying aya, aya
Oh tell your ma and then we'll go into the route
We hit a dinner here and then we’re going out
You tell your girls, I tell my guys
Ain't going in until we see the sunrise
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
Oh I know you love me
I got a diamond diamond in my pocket
I Fly Away lyrics - Better Than Ezra
And on the day that I was born
My mom and dad were overjoyed
They wrapped me in their arms
Took me home to meet my world
A painted room to call my own
A place where nothing could go wrong
Where they could build their borders
That I never would escape
But I don't need no one to break me out of here
I fly away, (I fly away)
When the world is burning down
I am up above the clouds
I fly away, (I fly away)
Letting go and breathing in
I float into the golden heart of love again
(I fly away, I fly away, I fly away)
As adolescence waved goobye
I searched the world behind my eyes
A permanent oasis
In the middle of a war
Now mom is taking happy pills
And dad is drowning in his bills
My sister went to rehab
For the third time in a year
But I don't need to pill to help me disappear
I fly away, (I fly away)
When the world is burning down
I am up above the clouds
I fly away, (I fly away)
Letting go and breathing in
I float into the golden heart of love again
And if you believe I'm less than I was meant to be
Don't be deceived, I'm hoping I was meant to be
Tell me you're wrong
And when you see the silent one
Know I am more than skin and bone
I am spirit, I am sound
I am floating off the ground
The ground, the ground
To fly along...
I fly away, (I fly away)
When the world is burning down
I am up above the clouds
I fly away, (I fly away)
Letting go and breathing in
I float into the golden heart of love again
I fly away
(Hey ma mama, away, oh...)
Letting go and breathing in
I float into the golden heart of love again
I float into the golden heart of love again
(Hey ma mama, away, oh
Hey ma mama, away, oh)
Shut Up And Dance lyrics - Better Than Ezra
You're kinda cute but your mouth won't stop
You got the moves when the needle drops
Oh oh oh
I'm livin proof when you're giving me rock and roll
Kick drum beats you up inside
Lights flashing across your eyes
Oh oh oh
And I ain't ever gonna 'pologize
If your homies don't play nice
She's like a world premiere
Blockbuster of the year
Can't talk above the noise
I'm losing my voice
I don't have a choice
She said
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Don't stop the radio rockin'
I love the beat that you're droppin'
No time to waste
No talkin'
Shut up and dance
So neurotic but I love your band
I'm neck deep in your quicksand
Oh oh oh
And I don't ever think I'm gonna land
Till the sun comes up again
She's like a world premiere
Blockbuster of the year
Can't talk above the noise
I'm losing my voice
I don't have a choice
She said
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Don't stop the radio rockin'
I love the beat that you're droppin'
No time to waste
No talkin'
Shut up and dance
And when you play The Cure
It's like 1984
1984
Someone head bangin' on the door
Robert Smith couldn't ask for more
Hey!
She's like a world premiere
Blockbuster of the year
Can't talk above the noise
I'm losing my voice
I don't have a choice
She said
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Shut up and dance
Oh oh oh
Don't stop the radio rockin'
I love the beat that you're droppin'
No time to waste
No talkin'
Shut up and dance
You're kinda cute but your mouth won't stop
...shut up and dance
You've got the moves when the needle drops
Don't stop the radio rockin'
I love the beat that you're droppin'
No time to waste
No talkin'
Shut up and dance
In Your Eyes lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Love
I get so lost sometimes
Days pass
And this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place where you are
And all my instincts
They return
And the grand facade
So soon will work
Without a noise
Without my cry
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
Like the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches
Your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch them like the heat I see
In your eyes
Love
I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted
And this moment keeps slipping away
And all my instincts
They return
And the grand facade
So soon will work
Without a noise
Without my cry
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
Like the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches
Your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch them like the heat I see
In your eyes
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
When I want to run away (in your eyes)
When I want to run away (in your eyes)
Merry Christmas Eve lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Northern wind
Chimney smoke
Love and pain
Joy and hope
These are the days
Of Christmas
Colored lights and mistletoe
Cinnamon and Nat King Cole
There's a miracle now
On 34th street
At the airport families wait on queue
And they shout as the loved one comes in view
Well, the kids are just happy 'cause they're out of school
How wonderful life is on Christmas
Sleigh bells and sing-a-longs
The snow falls on the lawn
There's a midnight mass
For a birthday
Hearin' tunes an laughter fill the room
You forget all the thoughts that have troubled you
Yeah, I know times I hard, somehow you'll make it through
How wonderful life is on Christmas
All is quiet
Holy night
To awaken
Morning light
Let is shine
Let it fill our lives with light
Then as someone says 'Santa Claus was here'
One by one by the tree we all appear
Grandmother saved paper to use next year
How wonderful life is
How wonderful life is
How wonderful life is
On Christmas
On Christmas
Merry Christmas eve
(At the airport families wait on queue)
Merry Christmas eve
(As they smile and they cry as you fade from view)
Merry Christmas eve
(Well, the folks are just happy 'cause they saw you)
Merry Christmas eve
Merry Christmas eve
(How wonderful life is...)
Merry Christmas eve...
Werewolves Of London lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo, hey
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately, he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen, uh
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Na!
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Huh, draw blood
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Absolutely Still Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep
While outside,
The city hurries;
The endless worries
Are out of reach
Promise me we'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill
Absolutely still
We were running
From the same noise,
We were stuck in
The same pursuit
Now the door's locked
And I find that
The dizzy madness
Is bleeding through
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
I'll go anywhere you want tonight
'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
I'm absolutely still
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep
While outside,
The city hurries;
The endless worries
Are out of reach
Promise me we'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill
Absolutely still
We were running
From the same noise,
We were stuck in
The same pursuit
Now the door's locked
And I find that
The dizzy madness
Is bleeding through
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
I'll go anywhere you want tonight
'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
I'm absolutely still
Turn Up The Bright Lights Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
It's a lot like fire.
Taking that the first step on to the street.
The whole night before you, spreading out like a techno colored dream.
So take this city into your arms and hold it like a kiss.
Don't it feel like flying, darling, what could be better than this.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight.
Shine like the stars shine above and sail away.
Turn up the bright lights....
On a Paris morning, long before the sun was debt to rise.
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes.
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to yourself.
Cause you move like music, darlin' in a moment you'll be gone.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight shine like the stars shine.
Turn on the mystery
Taking that the first step on to the street.
The whole night before you, spreading out like a techno colored dream.
So take this city into your arms and hold it like a kiss.
Don't it feel like flying, darling, what could be better than this.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight.
Shine like the stars shine above and sail away.
Turn up the bright lights....
On a Paris morning, long before the sun was debt to rise.
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes.
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to yourself.
Cause you move like music, darlin' in a moment you'll be gone.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight shine like the stars shine.
Turn on the mystery
Just One Day Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
And all the scars you have fade away
For just one day
Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
Or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away?
For just one day
And the night
All the good times and the fights
All the take and the give
All the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade a way
[Repeat]
For just one day [x2]
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
And all the scars you have fade away
For just one day
Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
Or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away?
For just one day
And the night
All the good times and the fights
All the take and the give
All the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade a way
[Repeat]
For just one day [x2]
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
The Loveless Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Tell me I'm wrong, you sense a little bit of change.
You knew all along there'd come a day you'd have to face.
I hear a loud voice in my head, for all the things I never said.
So tell me who's gonna love me loveless, who's gonna love me loveless,
Who gonna love me loveless?
When your gone.
What can I say, you pick this wreck up off the ground.
You knew all along there'd come a day you'd have to face.
I hear a loud voice in my head, for all the things I never said.
So tell me who's gonna love me loveless, who's gonna love me loveless,
Who gonna love me loveless?
When your gone.
What can I say, you pick this wreck up off the ground.
All In Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
[Chorus]
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in
You got me all in
Til the sun come up
And we start again.

Peter likes Paul
She caught em making out
In the cubicle
She ran and told her girlfriend
To cause a bit of fuss
Then she took another hit
On the pixie dust.
[Chorus]
We're banging on the ceiling
We jumping on the floor
A very angry neighbor
Breaking down the door
Everyone is quiet
As he begins to shout
But we say "easy man
We can work it out".
[Chorus]
Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your mother
The moral to the story
There isn't really one
The bottom of the line
Is to have a bit of fun
[Chorus]
Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your lover
Right mate, is that your mother?
[Chorus]
Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in

And we start again.

Fit Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I want to stop
I want to find
I need to know
Where you go to hide
Cause I’m out of breath
My air is gone
Running with you
Being alone
Cause you really want to settle the truth
Let me be the one to offer you proof
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I was adrift
out on my own
You came a long and carried me home
Cause you are a spark
A distant headlight
I can’t stop my eyes
From keeping you in sight
Cause I’m not looking for a broken excuse
But I need you now to heal all my wounds
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit…
Cause I made them
Faded some
Look at what I’ve become
And my eyes are drawn till you came along
The world is quite confused
You’re my only absolute
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
And Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m bound up in you
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
Oooooh oooh ooooh
I want to find
I need to know
Where you go to hide
Cause I’m out of breath
My air is gone
Running with you
Being alone
Cause you really want to settle the truth
Let me be the one to offer you proof
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I was adrift
out on my own
You came a long and carried me home
Cause you are a spark
A distant headlight
I can’t stop my eyes
From keeping you in sight
Cause I’m not looking for a broken excuse
But I need you now to heal all my wounds
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do

Hell No! Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Put your ear up to the speaker
Let your jaw drop
Witness this power of suggestion
Blow the roof off
Gods of war march into battle
Make the ground shake
Crowd appears, countdown has begun
Drop the bomb, 4, 3, 2, 1
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Fourth and long,
Casualties abound
In the hot sun
Final play, pile up in the endzone
Deed is done,
Damn, glad we won.
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Man, you will never let anybody disrespect you
Hell no!
You will keep your head held high
Whether you win or you lose
Because no one will come into our house
And tell us what to do!
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! We ain't gonna back down.

Hey Love Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I haven't felt you for a while
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.
[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.
I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.
[Chorus]
I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am
And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.
[Chorus]
There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.
[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.
I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.
[Chorus]
I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am
And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.
[Chorus]
There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Nightclubbing Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can be who you want me to be uh huh-ow
Take a chance on a new enemy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Something different than you felt before
But you'll know it when you taste it
In the absence of light it's a flash in the night
Something that you can feel but it's always burnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
There's a place out on Avenue A uh huh-ow
Where the kids got a new remedy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Just a little bit to leave yourself for a temporary exile
It's a shortness of breath it's a glow in your chest
Something better than real that's always turnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Check all your hang ups and lead at the door
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Quit all your bitchin' and get on the floor
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I got to know baby
When you see me don't (?)

Black Light Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I'm on, 2, 3, 4
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check
Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades
You know daddy's blowing words
Made of cigarette smoke
Mommy's always down on her knees
Late night, cocktail parties
Let the children do as they please
Yeah, Earthquakes and revelries
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Warm day, sun is shining
Ice trays, fake IDs
Stumbling towards the end of the
20th century
And it's hot enough to melt the ice caps
But you wanna make the summer stay
Sister, boyfriend calling,
Won't give me the time of day
Sometimes the guard goes down
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Black light on, turn it on
Me and my sister turn it up in the room
We got a flashlight on, got the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows enough to give a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Nothing is certain, time slips away
The world may be ending
But it ain't happening today, today, today,
oh-oh-oh
Latchkeys and memories
That never fade away
Me and my sister burn it up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn it on, turn it on
Me and my sister getting stoned in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
that we can give a damn
Me and my sister turn it on and on and on
Black light on
Come on
Black light on
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check
Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades
You know daddy's blowing words
Made of cigarette smoke
Mommy's always down on her knees
Late night, cocktail parties
Let the children do as they please
Yeah, Earthquakes and revelries
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Warm day, sun is shining
Ice trays, fake IDs
Stumbling towards the end of the
20th century
And it's hot enough to melt the ice caps
But you wanna make the summer stay
Sister, boyfriend calling,
Won't give me the time of day
Sometimes the guard goes down
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Black light on, turn it on
Me and my sister turn it up in the room
We got a flashlight on, got the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows enough to give a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Nothing is certain, time slips away
The world may be ending
But it ain't happening today, today, today,

Me and my sister getting stoned in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
that we can give a damn
Me and my sister turn it on and on and on
Black light on
Come on

Wounded Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can't tell you why
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live
[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded
I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive
[Chorus]
We are wounded
With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live
[Chorus]
We are wounded
We are wounded
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live
[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded
I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive
[Chorus]
We are wounded
With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live
[Chorus]
We are wounded
We are wounded
I Just Knew Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
When you walk in the noise dissapears
Where you begin is perfectly clear
All this time I felt so confused
Then came you and I just knew
Well I fell out when you picked up the phone
When we'd go out, yeah, it'd feel just like home
Do you think that I'm alright
Shining through and I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about making it for real
Something changed but I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about doing it for life
Something changed and I just knew
And I just knew
And I just know
Oh yeah and I knew
Come around and see me tonight, Darlin'
Come around and make it all right
Come around and see me tonight
Come around and make it all right, Darlin'
Where you begin is perfectly clear
All this time I felt so confused
Then came you and I just knew
Well I fell out when you picked up the phone
When we'd go out, yeah, it'd feel just like home
Do you think that I'm alright
Shining through and I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about making it for real
Something changed but I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about doing it for life
Something changed and I just knew
And I just knew
And I just know
Oh yeah and I knew
Come around and see me tonight, Darlin'
Come around and make it all right
Come around and see me tonight
Come around and make it all right, Darlin'
Burned Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
On a Tuesday in December,
When you walked out I remember.
You were smiling as you turned around,
In the hallway, you lingered in the doorway.
And still the words you said to me, make me think of how we used to be.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She said, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
In the back room of a mansion,
You are planning your deception.
Always calling, never phoning.
I'm a victim of another's war.
And still the words you said to me,
Come ringing in your silent symphony.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
And still it hurt so bad, (I thought I'd get one over on you),
You know, I hope you're sad, (you deserve it more than anyone).
I could give you one good reason.
You could be my winning season.
All the things we could have been, just fell away.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
When you walked out I remember.
You were smiling as you turned around,
In the hallway, you lingered in the doorway.
And still the words you said to me, make me think of how we used to be.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She said, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
In the back room of a mansion,
You are planning your deception.
Always calling, never phoning.
I'm a victim of another's war.
And still the words you said to me,
Come ringing in your silent symphony.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
And still it hurt so bad, (I thought I'd get one over on you),
You know, I hope you're sad, (you deserve it more than anyone).
I could give you one good reason.
You could be my winning season.
All the things we could have been, just fell away.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
Daylight Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
You're a long walk in a rain storm
You're a cut that refuses to heal
You're a dull ache that I can't shake
You're a cold that's clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can't fight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You're a stalled car in the desert
You're a song I can't get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I'm drifting I'm drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I'm drifting I'm drifting
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You'll find daylight
You're a cut that refuses to heal
You're a dull ache that I can't shake
You're a cold that's clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can't fight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You're a stalled car in the desert
You're a song I can't get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I'm drifting I'm drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I'm drifting I'm drifting
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You'll find daylight
A Lifetime Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
It's Only Natural Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Girl, your daddy's knocking on your door
I hear your footsteps on the floor to me
Stumbling back to your room
Pain it is a thing I can't explain
I only feel it when you go away
I'm waiting for you to return
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
Hey, I know your mother's off at work
You say your daddy's such a jerk to you
Why can't they just all fade away
Girl, is that the way it's going to be?
I'm only happy when you're down on me
You can be my honeybee
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide it)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
It's only natural
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
(don't fight it girl)
It's only natural
(don't hide it)
Is it the colour of your hair?
Is it the silly way you stare?
(don't fight it girl)
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
I hear your footsteps on the floor to me
Stumbling back to your room
Pain it is a thing I can't explain
I only feel it when you go away
I'm waiting for you to return
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
Hey, I know your mother's off at work
You say your daddy's such a jerk to you
Why can't they just all fade away
Girl, is that the way it's going to be?

Overcome Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
North light comes uninvited
Through the window to where you lie
Disjointed, dust and silence
Quite at a loss
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
I fell in too deep
But I learned to swim
In an undertow
I sense I'm giving in
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome
I'm a little bit wiser
I'm a little bit sadder
I'm a little bit less you might have guessed
But if you could be staying
Tell me now darling I think I'm fading
I swear I'll never trade your life for a lie
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
Overcome by you
Through the window to where you lie
Disjointed, dust and silence
Quite at a loss
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
I fell in too deep
But I learned to swim
In an undertow
I sense I'm giving in
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome
I'm a little bit wiser
I'm a little bit sadder
I'm a little bit less you might have guessed
But if you could be staying
Tell me now darling I think I'm fading
I swear I'll never trade your life for a lie
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
Overcome by you
Special Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Are you real?
Are you real or just a dream?
It's been so long, I don't know.
I can feel. I can feel you with me now.
Even though you're far away.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
I was lost.
I was lost and I found you.
I will know no further love.
People move.
People move and fall away,
Love, you refuse to fade.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
I was pulling far away.
You were begging me to stay.
And I thought I was losing you.
Funny, how the opposite was true.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
Some are special.
Are you real or just a dream?
It's been so long, I don't know.
I can feel. I can feel you with me now.
Even though you're far away.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
I was lost.
I was lost and I found you.
I will know no further love.
People move.
People move and fall away,
Love, you refuse to fade.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
I was pulling far away.
You were begging me to stay.
And I thought I was losing you.
Funny, how the opposite was true.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
Some are special.
Hollow Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Well they say your life was marked
And you were wondering if it would ever start
Stop
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls
And the lives they made
I grew up in the 80's
In the pallisades
I was listening to Devo
And everybody catered to their needs
All voted most likely to succeed
Holly came out
And Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Cut to an interior view
Holly married well but so did you
One was black one was blue
I was watching the days go by
Could you be seen in a silly dream
Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine
Holly got her GED living in maternity
Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And the sky is blue
And so are you
Mary takes a drag off a cigarette
And the stereo is coming up behind her
Like she needs someone to remind her
That life is richer in a minor key
Bill and Holly disagree
But I don't think so
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls and the lives they made
Well Holly came out and Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
And you were wondering if it would ever start
Stop
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls
And the lives they made
I grew up in the 80's
In the pallisades
I was listening to Devo
And everybody catered to their needs
All voted most likely to succeed
Holly came out
And Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Cut to an interior view
Holly married well but so did you
One was black one was blue
I was watching the days go by
Could you be seen in a silly dream
Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine
Holly got her GED living in maternity
Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost
All my rage

American Dream Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
She was a midwestern prom queen
Got her boyfriend headed out West
They ended up in the valley
In a one room apartment
A disconnected phone
Yeah
Now five years later she's single
She's got two kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself
She can remember how everything used
To go her way
She says
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could
Have my American Dream
For twenty years he worked corporate
He planned to early retire
His CEO he stole a billion dollars
Now he's working at Denny's
Hoping for a raise
He thinks
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could
Have my American Dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a little bit rebel
I'm a bit patriot
I can see they're both sides of the coin
But still it gets a bit rough
Everything is screwed up
I guess its just the American way
Sometimes I wonder how you are
You're up in New York City with a family
I think I could have been your guy
It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could have
My American Dream
My American Dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She was a midwestern prom queen
Got her boyfriend headed out West
Got her boyfriend headed out West
They ended up in the valley
In a one room apartment
A disconnected phone
Yeah
Now five years later she's single
She's got two kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself
She can remember how everything used

Our Last Night Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
We were standing in an empty room.
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made?
And what ever happened to the things you loved, the songs we played,
On the Indian days?
What ever happened to the things you gave away,
Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing?
I was waving as you drove away.
The sunlight was falling.
You were writing backwards
In a dusty windowpane.
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.
And wasn't it you who told me

Wasn't it you who told me?

A Southern Thing Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Kelly was a blackjack dealer
Living on the Gulf of Mexico
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills
He was looking for a mark to roll
Sara was a Kappa from Tulane
She was looking for a little change of pace
When a cop pulled them over on the interstate
Kelly blew that car away
(I heard them singing)
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans
Mississippi River running over me
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you don't understand
It's a Southern Thing
Now when they held up a bank in Mobile
They finally made it on the evening news
She's a Georgia Peach never within reach
He's a felon from Baton Rouge
I heard Robert Johnson playing on a steel guitar
In the heat of the Delta sun
When Kelly drove them back up to Memphis
To finish what the King had once begun
(Come on and sing it now)
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans
Mississippi River rolling over me
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you dont understand
It's a Southern Thing
If we ever get out of here
I want you to promise me
You'll go down to the Gulf
And swim
Deep in the sea
And you'll think of me
The way you used to sing
That silly song to me
Singing
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
Hump back hump back
Get a little closer
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
Hump back hump back
Get a little closer
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans
Mississippi River running over me
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand

Juicy Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Here we go

Our Finest Year Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I am bending
Made of steel
I am stumbling
Towards something real
How can you forget this feeling
Of standing straight while the world is reeling?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
I am hopeful
Full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping
When your worlds on fire
And your chest is beating?
And I want to think you feel the same
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
In this moment
While you're breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stayed?
As your life just slipped away?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
I'll be there if you fall
Love made suckers of us all
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
Made of steel
I am stumbling
Towards something real
How can you forget this feeling
Of standing straight while the world is reeling?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
I am hopeful
Full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping
When your worlds on fire
And your chest is beating?
And I want to think you feel the same
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
In this moment
While you're breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stayed?
As your life just slipped away?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
I'll be there if you fall
Love made suckers of us all
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
Breathless Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
Misunderstood Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Talking in her sleep again
Reciting lines start to end
But she's not crazy
(Knock on wood)
Just a little misunderstood
She takes a walk at 4AM
Wakes the neighborhood again
And I find myself recalling everything she used to tell me
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
She's waiting tables the next day
She pulls a double then on her way
To an audition in Hollywood, yeah,
A little misunderstood
We sit around the house
Waiting for the phone to ring
And I know she alone holds the key
To everything I want to be
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood.
Aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood.
Two years later you're a star
Who'd have thought we'd get this far?
But I'd give it all away if I
Could see you on that day again
When you quit work
And threw that coffee
At the manager jerk
You said, "Close your eyes
I've got a surprise
A house in the hills
And a car that drives by."
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts, don't it? Inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood.
Aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood.
Reciting lines start to end

Extra Ordinary Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. DJ Swamp)
I got a little bit of hope
Like a soap on a rope
Sweeter than sour
But getting thinner by the hour
Falling fast, and I'm running out of gas
Muggin on your sister!
Smart as Bobby Fischer!
Still I couldn't get arrested
Though I got more hooks
Than Madonna got looks
And just like that AC/DC song
Come on baby, shake me all night long
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Somebody push me through the door
I been sleeping on the floor
Thirty-one flavors, listen to the neighbors
Through the wall
At a debutante ball
Cumba lada vista!
Got a Mona Lisa!
So much for the late rent
Cause your money's spent
And it's cold inside
But just like that Barenaked Ladies' song
I'm hot like wasabi when I'm next to your body
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say, yeah
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Ain't love such a sweet thing!
Ain't love such a sweet thing!
(Con fuego, baby ...)
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say, yeah
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Like a soap on a rope
Sweeter than sour
But getting thinner by the hour
Falling fast, and I'm running out of gas
Muggin on your sister!
Smart as Bobby Fischer!
Still I couldn't get arrested
Though I got more hooks
Than Madonna got looks
And just like that AC/DC song
Come on baby, shake me all night long
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Somebody push me through the door
I been sleeping on the floor

Through the wall
At a debutante ball

Got a Mona Lisa!
So much for the late rent
Cause your money's spent
And it's cold inside
But just like that Barenaked Ladies' song
I'm hot like wasabi when I'm next to your body

Closer Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly
Rolling Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. Toddy)
Rain drops bead again
They make a tide pool
On your summer skin
Shoplifting corner store
I should have got,
Should have got some more.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
Baby I don't know.
God, how you look the same.
I recognize the face,
But not the name.
Pull over, never stop
A caramel-colored girl in a halter top.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
(She said)
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Could it be that hard
To never mind the rent
And then quit your job?
Flying, at what cost?
Shout outs to the ones we've lost.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
Don't mind me. Me? I'm fine.
I just get a little lost sometimes.
But what I really meant to say,
I couldn't live without you another day.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
(She said)
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Are you just worried to see me?
Are you just worried to need me?
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
>From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Yeah, we're rolling.
Me and you, we're rolling.
On a Sunday afternoon.
Yeah...
They make a tide pool
On your summer skin
Shoplifting corner store
I should have got,
Should have got some more.

How'd you get so low?
Baby I don't know.

A Lifetime Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing

And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
Recognize Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. DJ Swamp)
First thing I remember was lying in the sand
When a plague of seven horsemen
Came across the desert land
They had one good eye between them
They were burning up the sky
When I asked why they had come for me
The ugly one replied
He told me
Ah, you better recognize
Aw, you better recognize, son
Next thing I recall well
I was hanging from a cliff
When an angel came to rescue
Me and held me in her grip
She said, "Everyone who's ever loved you
Gets hurt in the end."
Then she smiled and said, "Forgive me."
As she let go of my hand
She told me
(You been living out of pocket, out of your socket)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa)
Ah, you better recognize, son
(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You come a pleading, but it's too late
We can't hear you're on the list now!)
And let your dim light shine.
Always darkest before the morning light,
Lord knows you ain't that bright
Better let your dim light shine
Just before I hit the ground
I woke up in my bed
I was dazed and I was weary
And my heart was full of dread
When I looked at my reflection
I was horrified to find
There were seven horsemen next to me
The angel close behind
They told me
(You been living out of pocket, out of the socket)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa)
Ah, you better recognize, son
(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You come a pleading, but it's too late
We can't hear you're on the list now!)
And let your dim light shine.
When a plague of seven horsemen
Came across the desert land
They had one good eye between them
They were burning up the sky
When I asked why they had come for me

Sincerely, Me Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can still recall
The way you looked that fall
In your favorite dress
The day before you left
And since that time
I wrote a simple rhyme
And I miss you and the things you do
The time we had, the good and bad
The day we met that I can't forget
Signed Sincerely, Me
Are you cross at your loss?
But could you be more obsessive
If I'd given you the chance
But since you asked, a reply but it's the last
And I miss you and the things you do
The love you fake, the heart you break.
The buzz you caught, and the times we fought
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Oh, my God, and don't forget P.S.
I moved away to a new address
It's far away and I think it's best
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain falls, the summer ends.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
And I confess, I was such a mess
I drove for fifteen hours
On this nasty Greyhound bus
Yes, I've returned.
(You'd think that I would have learned.)
But I miss you and the things you do
The times we had, the good and bad
The day we met that I can't forget
Signed Sincerely, Me
Could you really be a bitch like that?
Broke my door when you stole the cat.
Someone said that you even laughed
Signed Sincerely, Me
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain falls, the summer ends.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
And I miss you...
The hope you give.
The life you live.
The cross you bear.
The way you swear.
The face you make
When you masturbate.
Our bed in the moonlight.
And the night we fought
You were so distraught.
And the lies I denied
Even when you cried,
God knows I apologize,
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain goes, the sun returns.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
Signed Sincerely, Me.
The way you looked that fall

Get You In Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I sit and watch your flowers wilting in the kitchen
I felt like I was one of them gasping for air.
I go from room to room hoping to find your
I play my music louder than you'd like me to
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Get you, get you in.
I understand that you are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize I'm in one too
You say that maybe we should take some time apart
But you go your way, I'll get by, and you'll go get high
You just see if I mind.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
Well I could be wrong I don't even know myself
And I must be strong when you're gone so long
I don't need to know reasons why.
What I wouldn't do for you.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
I want to get you in.
I felt like I was one of them gasping for air.
I go from room to room hoping to find your
I play my music louder than you'd like me to
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Get you, get you in.
I understand that you are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize I'm in one too
You say that maybe we should take some time apart
But you go your way, I'll get by, and you'll go get high
You just see if I mind.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
Well I could be wrong I don't even know myself
And I must be strong when you're gone so long
I don't need to know reasons why.
What I wouldn't do for you.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
I want to get you in.
Briefly Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Wake me up
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
Can you feel
Could you love
Are you further now from where you started
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by
And the moon lights the night
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
And you're a starlight that shines
For a moment in time
In time
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
Can you feel
Could you love
Are you further now from where you started
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by
And the moon lights the night
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
And you're a starlight that shines

Juarez Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Worn out in Juarez
Asking the dust for change
Worn out in Juarez
A punch drunk assassin
Getting caught in the rain
Driving all the way from Albuquerque
Living on Funyuns and beef jerky, yeah
Wearing the ages
Mining the seats for cash
Worn on the edges
Faded like a photo left too long on the dash
Busking all the way from Sarasota
Chasing mini thins with cherry cola, yeah
It's a dreamlife
Hitching all the way from Minnesota
Sunflower seeds in your scotch and soda
It's a dreamlife
Ah, it's a dreamlife
Worn out in Juarez
Worn out in Juarez
Asking the dust for change
Worn out in Juarez
A punch drunk assassin
Getting caught in the rain
Driving all the way from Albuquerque
Living on Funyuns and beef jerky, yeah
Wearing the ages
Mining the seats for cash
Worn on the edges
Faded like a photo left too long on the dash
Busking all the way from Sarasota
Chasing mini thins with cherry cola, yeah
It's a dreamlife
Hitching all the way from Minnesota
Sunflower seeds in your scotch and soda
It's a dreamlife
Ah, it's a dreamlife
Worn out in Juarez
Worn out in Juarez
I Do Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I got a little bit of reason
For everything I've done
I might just serenade the moonlight
And I get so lonely in this crowd
I want to scream but make no sound
And yeah I'm lost but maybe I'll be fine
Cause when I'm in over my head
I hear the words you said
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do
And I couldn't bear to see you walk out
And leave it all behind
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight
And I love the sound of rain on tin
Your screen door beckoning me in
And yeah I'm mad but overcome with joy
Could it be so damn naive
To hope you could agree?
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
In a world that's cellophane
You get so lost I know you do
In a world that's cellophane
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do
For everything I've done
I might just serenade the moonlight
And I get so lonely in this crowd
I want to scream but make no sound
And yeah I'm lost but maybe I'll be fine
Cause when I'm in over my head
I hear the words you said
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do
And I couldn't bear to see you walk out
And leave it all behind
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight
And I love the sound of rain on tin
Your screen door beckoning me in
And yeah I'm mad but overcome with joy
Could it be so damn naive
To hope you could agree?
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
In a world that's cellophane
You get so lost I know you do
In a world that's cellophane
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do

Je Ne M'en Souviens Pas Lyrics – Better than Ezra
WE'RE ALL A SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM...
A PARIS STREET.
A QUIET STREAM.
FAR AWAY FROM CABRINI GREEN.
FORGOTTEN LOVE AT SEVENTEEN,
WHERE HER CHILDREN GOT A CHANCE,
NOT A DEAD END STREET.
CAUSE SOME GOT RELIGION,
AND SOME GOT DRUGS,
SOME GOT MONEY AND,
SOME GOT LOVE,
ALL OF HER DAYS IN A DRY-EYED HAZE,
JUST ANOTHER SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM.
A PARIS STREET.
A QUIET STREAM.
FAR AWAY FROM CABRINI GREEN.
FORGOTTEN LOVE AT SEVENTEEN,
WHERE HER CHILDREN GOT A CHANCE,
NOT A DEAD END STREET.
CAUSE SOME GOT RELIGION,
AND SOME GOT DRUGS,
SOME GOT MONEY AND,
SOME GOT LOVE,
ALL OF HER DAYS IN A DRY-EYED HAZE,
JUST ANOTHER SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM.
One More Murder Lyrics – Better than Ezra
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN,
DON'T MEAN A THING JUST LOCK YOUR DOORS
AND DRIVE AROUND.
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN,
DON'T WORRY THE RAIN WILL
WASH THE CHALK MARKS FROM THE GROUND.
SATURDAY NIGHT, SHOTS RING OUT,
ADD ONE TO THE BODY COUNT.
YOU COME ALIVE TO SEE ANOTHER'S END.
PLEAD IT TO A LESSER COUNT,
D.A. SAYS WITHOUT A DOUBT,
IN 3-5 YOU'RE ON THE STREETS AGAIN.
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN
DON'T MEAN A THING
YOU GET ACCUSTOMED TO THE SOUND
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN
BLOCK OFF THE STREET AND
WRAP THE CRIME SCENE TAPE AROUND.
HOSANNA! HOSANNA!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING AT ALL!
HOSANNA! HOSANNA!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING AT ALL!
SATURDAY NIGHT YOU'RE GOING OUT
PARKING LOT, A FIGURE COME ABOUT
FEEL A PIECE CLICK AGAINST YOUR HEAD.
PLEADING TO HIS SYMPATHY,
"TAKE THE CAR, I GOT A FAMILY"
YOU HEAR A LAUGH,
"IT DON'T MEAN SHIT TO ME."
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN

At The Stars Lyrics – Better than Ezra
MAYBE I SHOULD DROP YOU AT YOUR DOOR.
OR LEAVE TONIGHT AND VANISH UP THE SHORE.
ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
IT'S THREE O'CLOCK WE'RE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR,
YOU'RE SCREAMING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE STARS,
"PLEASE DON'T DRIVE ME HOME!"
[CHORUS:]
BLAME US BECAUSE WE ARE WHO WE ARE.
HATE US BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER GET THAT FAR.
AND WHO'D SUPPOSE YOU WOULD GO?
I'VE ALREADY LEARNED ENOUGH TO KNOW.
TELL ME ALL THE PLACES WE COULD GO.
AND COUNT THE HEADLIGHTS PASSING ON THE ROAD,
A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
HERE WE ARE.
FOREIGN TO THEIR WORLD.
STRAIGHT AND COMPOSED.
YOUR SERMONS I CAN DO WITHOUT
AND I FINALLY FOUND.
THAT EVERYBODY LOVES TO LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU'RE FAR AWAY.
COULD IT BE WE'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG
WE'D MAKE IT BACK TO YOUR PLACE BEFORE DAWN
"PLEASE, DON'T TAKE ME HOME."
"PLEASE, DON'T TAKE ME HOME."
[CHORUS:]
OR LEAVE TONIGHT AND VANISH UP THE SHORE.
ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
IT'S THREE O'CLOCK WE'RE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR,
YOU'RE SCREAMING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE STARS,
"PLEASE DON'T DRIVE ME HOME!"
[CHORUS:]
BLAME US BECAUSE WE ARE WHO WE ARE.

Like It Like That Lyrics – Better than Ezra
THAT CALLING FROM THAT PORCH AGAIN
LOW DRESS BLOWING IN THE WIND
(I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I'D REGRET IT LATER)
BUT SHE BLOW LIKE A TSUNAMI
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
TERRA COTTA, WINDOW PANE
BROWN SKIN SOAKING UP THE RAIN
(I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CYNICAL WRITER)
BUT SHE DON'T CARE JUST WHERE HE BE
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
SHE CAN MOVE YOU!
SHE CAN MOVE YOU!
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
DESTINY.
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT

BUT SHE BLOW LIKE A TSUNAMI

Allison Foley Lyrics – Better than Ezra
"CALMLY, LIKE A RAZOR
I GOT US ON THE DOOR,"
OR "I GOT A TAPE OF 'CLERKS'
SOMEONE LEFT THE NIGHT BEFORE."
SO I GO OVER LATER,
YOU'RE SITTING IN THAT CHAIR
SMOKING ON YOUR CIGARETTE
FINGERING YOU HAIR
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
TWENTY-NINE AND AIMLESS
YOU BARTEND DOWN ON FOURTH
YOUR PARENTS PAY INSURANCE
AND THE PARSON'S AUDIT COURSE
OVER-SCHOOLED AND UNINSPIRED
A TRUST FUND UP YOUR NOSE
ALL THAT WASTED TALENT BUT, UH
AIN'T THAT HOW IT ALWAYS GOES?
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH YEAH
SO LONG ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE
(COME UP HIGHER, TAKE A STEP HIGHER)
SOMETIMES YOU UNDERSTAND
THE REASONS HOW YOU WENT ASTRAY
BUT LEAST OF ALL THE ANSWER,
THAT IT HURTS TO WATCH YOU WASTE AWAY.
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
SO LONG, ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE
I GOT US ON THE DOOR,"
OR "I GOT A TAPE OF 'CLERKS'

Under You Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Along the edges colors blur, it seems familiar
While you read your magazine
I was counting all the markers
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard
In a letter
Or a frame of film melting
Under you, I feel your breath move in and out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes
Where we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vicente
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning,
Where we barely could survive, I was never more alive
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
You moved in slow degrees
A sudden memory
You're a Leonard Cohen song
But every now and then I'd swear
I see you standing
On a sidewalk,
In a restaurant,
From a taxi passing by
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you, let go completely, feeling you take over me
Take over me...
While you read your magazine
I was counting all the markers
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard
In a letter
Or a frame of film melting
Under you, I feel your breath move in and out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes
Where we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vicente
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning,
Where we barely could survive, I was never more alive
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
You moved in slow degrees
A sudden memory
You're a Leonard Cohen song
But every now and then I'd swear
I see you standing
On a sidewalk,
In a restaurant,
From a taxi passing by
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you, let go completely, feeling you take over me
Take over me...
Live Again Lyrics – Better than Ezra
DON'T FEAR,
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE AT A LOSS.
I'M NUMB,
A SHELL OF EMPTY THOUGHTS.
BUT YOU GLOW,
YOU STRETCH AND PULL ME OUT.
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
[CHORUS:]
LOVE ME
HATE ME
MAKE ME LIVE AGAIN
I NEED YOU AROUND
HEAL ME
HURT ME
MAKE ME LIVE AGAIN
I WANT YOU AROUND
SO LONG,
I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED
THIS BLISS.
SO HOW COULD I RESIST?
AND I'M FINE
A LITTLE LIGHT-HEADED.
DOES THAT WORRY YOU?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO WORRY YOU.
[CHORUS:]
NOW, RETREATING FROM THE LIGHT
I LOVE IT WHEN WE FIGHT
IT MAKES ME THINK
AT LEAST YOU STILL CARE
GIVE UP, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE
MOONLIGHT, ILLUMINATES YOUR STARE
AND IT'S GREAT, CAPTIVATING YOU
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO TROUBLE YOU
[CHORUS & FADE]
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE AT A LOSS.
I'M NUMB,
A SHELL OF EMPTY THOUGHTS.
BUT YOU GLOW,
YOU STRETCH AND PULL ME OUT.
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?

Happy Day Mama Lyrics – Better than Ezra
I WROTE A THREE PAGE NOTE
SO I COULD ASK YOU WHY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
(DISREGARD THE PRETENSE THAT YOU MADE).
COME ALIVE, COME ALIVE, WATCH THE CITY GO BY.
TURN ME UP, TURN ME UP, TURN ME UP, TURN ME UP, TURN ME UP
YOUR FACE IS CREASED BY THE PILLOW CASE SHEETS,
THE BEDROOM IS A MESS.

THROUGH BLOODSHOT EYES THE CITY COME ALIVE,COME ALIVE,COME ALIVE.
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE!
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE!

TAPED PERMANENTLY TO YOUR BACK.
I CAN RELATE, VIDEO TAPE,
YOU GOT A LAUGH WHEN YOU FELL FACE FIRST ON THE FLOOR.
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE!
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE!
ARE YOU LISTENING?
ARE YOU BREATHING?
GIVE ME SOMETHING, I CAN BELIEVE IN,
BECAUSE YOU GIVE ME SOUL
ILLUMINATING EVERYTHING!
AW, PUSH IT BOY, PUSH IT LIKE YOU NEVER SHOULD.
UNDERSTATE.
YOU WERE GREAT,
SUMMERING OUT ON THE CAPE.
I SAID LAST NIGHT HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU,
BUT YOU WOULDN'T RECALL NO,
YOU DON'T RECALL ANYTHING DO YOU?
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE
AH, HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE
I WROTE A THREE PAGE NOTE

Particle Lyrics – Better than Ezra
YOUR PAIN MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL, YOU LOVE TO LOSE CONTROL,
AND MEDIOCRITY'S REWARDED SO SET YOUR STANDARDS LOW.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU.
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU.
SUCK ME IN, I'M WILLING, I GET OFF WHEN YOU GO ON
LET ME BE YOUR FATE. POUR IT ON, POUR IT ON.
IN A COUNTRY FAIR OR UNION SQUARE, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A SHROUDED FACE OR A SPRAY OF MACE, I IMPLORE YOU.
I IMPLORE YOU.
CRYPTIC? ELEMENTAL.
YOU TRANSCEND WHEN YOU SUCCUMB.
ONE LAST SHRED OF FRAILTY LEFT,
EMBEDDED IN OUR BONES.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU
SO DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS
PARTICLE.
SO DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS

Beautiful Mistake Lyrics – Better than Ezra
PHOTO STILLS
IN YOUR WALLET WITH THE UNPAID BILLS
AND YOU SHOW IT LIKE IT MEANS SOMETHING
YOU COULD NEVER KNOW THE PAIN IT BRINGS
AND HERE YOU ARE
STANDING IN OUR DRIVE
(WHEN ABSENCE SUITS YOU BEST)
LETTERS AND YOUR CARDS
WITH NO RETURN ADDRESS
[CHORUS:]
NOW YOU COME AROUND
NOW YOU COME AROUND
YOUR FAMILIAR SOUNDS
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL,
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE.
WAITING FOR THIS DAY
WELL I MEMORIZED THE THINGS I'D SAY
HOW YOU BROKE HER WHEN YOU DISAPPEARED
HOW I HEAR HER SAY,
"YOU'D MAKE YOUR FATHER PROUD."
IT ECHOES THROUGH THE YEARS
AS IF I COULD FORGET ALL A MOTHER'S TEARS
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
NO, DON'T SAY A WORD
LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN
PUT OUT YOUR LIGHT
NOW I GUESS YOU'RE GOING
A FIGURE THROUGH THE DOOR
AND YOUR TAILLIGHTS FADED
LIKE TWENTY YEARS BEFORE
[CHORUS:]
IN YOUR WALLET WITH THE UNPAID BILLS

Everything In 2's Lyrics – Better than Ezra
CUT ME OUT OF THIS ROLE.
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE.
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
GIVE ME UP,
I CONFESS.
I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M LIVING LESS.
THE STRANGEST GRAVITY AFFECTS MY WAY.
BECAUSE I WAS BORN INCOMPLETE,
DROWNING IN THE BREVITY.
KIND OF LIKE A ROAD YOU'RE TRAVELLING ON.
[CHORUS:]
EVERYTHING IN 2'S
YOU OFTEN LOSE
YOU MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN
EVERYTHING IN 2'S
YOU NEVER KNEW
YOU'D MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN.
SOMEONE SAID, SOMEONE WROTE,
WE'RE FLOATING TETHERED TO A ROPE.
SO COMPLICATE ME,
I COULD USE THE WEIGHT.
IN HOW YOU MOVE THE SCENERY,
LOVER, HOW YOU MIRROR ME.
BUT STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE.
[CHORUS:]
AND NOW AND AGAIN,
YOU FIND YOURSELF OVER YOUR HEAD.
IN A CYNICAL TIME, IN YOU I FIND
A REASON TO LIVE.
[CHORUS:]
CUT ME OUT OF THIS ROLE
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE.
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
GIVE ME UP,
I CONFESS.
I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M LIVING LESS.
THE STRANGEST GRAVITY AFFECTS MY WAY.
