You Picked Me

JBSil — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:13:00 +0000

One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You’re all mine, all mine

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman’s house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

[x3]
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

People Should Smile More

JBSil — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:35:00 +0000

People should smile more
I’m not saying theres nothing to cry for but you’ve got
Everything laid out for you
Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and start another war

Keep buying, keep moving, this city, is sitting,
next to me, well laid out, it’s gonna come, one thing is certain

I can’t change the world
Cuz tryin’ to make a difference makes it worse
It’s just an observation I can’t ignore
That people should smile more

People should smile more
But the lights are so bright that they blind you, just one more
Meaningless scientific break through
The more we know, the less we care whilst damaged on the way

Keep moving, keep buying, this city, is sitting
Next to me, well laid out, it’s gonna come, one thing is certain

I can’t change the world
Cuz tryin’ to make a difference makes it worse
It’s just an observation I can’t ignore
That people could smile more
People should smile more

Doo doo ba doo da doo dee dee do x4

I can’t change the world
Cuz tryin’ to make a difference makes it worse
It’s just an observation I can’t ignore
That people could smile more
People should smile more

Every time I close my eyes
It’s you and I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea and I know now

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

You do so much
That you don’t know
It’s true
And I know now
Who I am

Yea yea yea
And I know now

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

See you as a mountain
A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul
in the setting sun
You as the sound
just as silent as none
I’m yours

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin

There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

Addicted

JBSil — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:16:00 +0000

I heard you’re doing okay
But I want you to know
I’m a dick
I’m addicted to you
I can’t pretend I don’t care
When you don’t think about me
Do you think I deserve this?

I tried to make you happy but you left anyway

I’m trying to forget that
I’m addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I’m addicted to you
Now it’s over
Can’t forget what you said
And I never wanna do this again
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker

Since the day I met you
And after all we’ve been through
I’m still a dick
I’m addicted to you
I think you know that it’s true
I’d run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?

I tried to make you happy
I did all that I could
Just to keep you
But you left anyway

How long will I be waiting?
Until the end of time
I don’t know why I’m still waiting
I can’t make you mine

I’m trying to forget that
I’m addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I’m addicted to you
[x2]

Now it’s over
Can’t forget what you said
And I never wanna do this again
Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker
I’m addicted to you
Heartbreaker
I’m addicted to you
Heartbreaker
I’m addicted to you
Heartbreaker
I’m addicted to you
Heartbreaker

Lets count the number of ways I can apply this song to my life, shall we?

Your Personality Is

Rational (NT)

You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!

Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you’re often a little short with people who don’t impress you mentally.

You seem distant to some – but it’s usually because you’re deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.

In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate – who is also very intelligent.

At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers – like programming, medicine, or academia.

With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can’t take your criticism well.

As far as your looks go, you’re coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.

On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

She said she needed a break
A little time to think
But then she went to Cleveland
With some guy named Leland
That she met at the bank.
Theres nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain.
I really like Drew Carey
And I’d love to see
The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.

So when your done
Doing whatever
And when you’re through
Doing whoever
You know Denton county
Will be right here waiting for you.

Come back to Texas
It’s just not the same
Since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about
The Lonestar state
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks
North of here anyway.

I think I made a mistake
It’s not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
Then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I’ll sit here and wait
For her to come back home
(I wish she’d come back)
It shouldn’t take very long
(So long, so long)
I bet she misses the sunrise
and Mrs. Baird’s fruit pies
(but I could be wrong)

So when you’re done
Doing whatever
And when you’re through
Doing whoever
You know Denton county
Will be right here waiting for you.

Come back to Texas
It’s just not the same
Since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
And drove right on through the Lonestar state
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
And the Bush twins want you back
And Pantera wants you back
And Bluebell wants you back

I got a premonition
I’m taking a petition
And the whole states gonna sign

Just because it’s an awesome song

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
[lauryn]
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song
[clef]
Yo l-boogie, take it to the bridge
[lauryn]
(bust it)
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was . . .

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn’t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, Utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can’t explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
“I miss you”?
I see your picture,
I smell your skin on
The empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
But already I’m wasting away.
I know I’ll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care,
And I miss you.

Hah, sicka than your average Poppa
Twist cabbage off instinct niggaz don’t think shit stink
pink gators, my Detroit players
Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn
Dead right, if they head right, Biggie there err nite
Poppa been smooth since days of Underroos
Never lose, never choose to, bruise crews who
do something to us, talk go through us
Girls walk to us, wanna do us, screw us
Who us? Yeah, Poppa and Puff (ehehehe)
Close like Starsky and Hutch, stick the clutch
Dare I squeeze three at your cherry M-3
(Take that, take that, take that, haha!)
Bang every MC easily, busily
Recently niggaz frontin ain’t sayin nuttin (nope)
So I just speak my piece, (c’mon) keep my piece
Cubans with the Jesus piece (thank you God), with my peeps
Packin, askin who want it, you got it nigga flaunt it
That Brooklyn bullshit, we on it

[Chorus x2 removed]

I put hoes in NY onto DKNY (uh-huh)
Miami, D.C. prefer Versace (that’s right)
All Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c’mon)
Every cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi (haaaaah!)
Now who’s the real dookie, meanin who’s really the shit
Them niggaz ride dicks, Frank White push the sticks
on the Lexus, LX, four and a half
Bulletproof glass tints if I want some ass
Gon’ blast squeeze first ask questions last
That’s how most of these so-called gangsters pass
At last, a nigga rappin bout blunts and broads
Tits and bras, menage-a-tois, sex in expensive cars
I still leave you on the pavement
Condo paid for, no car payment
At my arraignment, note for the plantiff
Your daughter’s tied up in a Brooklyn basement (shhh)
Face it, not guilty, that’s how I stay filthy (not guilty)
Richer than Richie, till you niggaz come and get me

[Chorus x2 removed]

I can fill ya wit real millionaire shit (I can fill ya)
Escargot, my car go, one sixty, swiftly
Wreck it buy a new one
Your crew run run run, your crew run run
I know you sick of this, name brand nigga wit
flows girls say he’s sweet like licorice
So get with this nigga, it’s easy
Girlfriend here’s a pen, call me round ten
Come through, have sex on rugs that’s Persian (that’s right)
Come up to your job, hit you while you workin (uhh)
for certain, Poppa freakin, not speakin
Leave that ass leakin, like rapper demo
Tell them hoe, take they clothes off slowly
Hit em wit the force like Obe, dick black like Toby (Obe… Toby)
Watch me roam like Gobe, lucky they don’t owe me
Where the safe show me, homey.. (say what, homey)

[Chorus x5 removed]

if ya dont know, now ya know

repost for renewed significance

One more kiss could be the best thing
one more lie could be the worst
all these thoughts are never resting
And you’re not something I deserve

In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there’s real and make believe
this seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
when i know what I’m goin through

In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there’s real and make believe
this seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me go…
Let me go

And no matter how hard I try
I can’t escape these things inside I know
I knowww..
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you dont know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go

you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont know who I am
you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont know me
