O Holy Night lyrics - Amanda Somerville

O holy night!

The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

'Til He appear and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, o hear the Angel voices!

O night divine, o o o night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night divine!

Searching lyrics - Amanda Somerville

It takes all my strength

To close my eyes

And dream in a world of black and white

But I'll persevere

Even through the storm

Even though I'm torn

Nothing brings me down, anymore

I don't know my place yet in this life

So I'll keep searching

And, oh, the give and take

That's lost along the way

I'm swimming in the waters deep

And I'm drowning in the wake

But nothing can take

No, nothing can bring me down

Nothing brings me down, anymore

It takes all my strength

To close my eyes

And dream in a world of black and white

But I'll carry on

(I won't stop going after all that it takes to get there)

Through the wind and rain

(No, my life will not end in pain)

Through the tears and pain

Nothing brings me down, anymore

So give me some time (Give some time)

And give me some space and time (And give me some space)

And I'll be gone without a trace

Been idling low (I don't know why)

Just waiting to go (Waiting to go)

And I searching for my place

(Give some time)

But nothing can break

No, nothing can bring me down

Nothing brings me down

It takes all my strength

To close my eyes

And dream in a world of black and white

(Give some space and time)

In a world without you (I don't know why)

Full anytime of my strike (Give me some time)

I'm searching

I'm keep, oh, searching

(Give me some time)

Yes, I will

(Give me some time)

Keep, oh, searching of all time

Tides Of Time lyrics - Amanda Somerville, Coen Janssen, Isaac Delahaye, Sascha Paeth, Simone Simons & CeLilly

(originally by Epica)

You were always there to hold my hand

When times were hard to understand

But now the tides of time have turned

They keep changing

Seasons range, but you remain the same

A steady heart, a sun to rain

You'll be the light that's shining bright

High above me

Autumn gold losing hold

We are leaves meant to fall

There's a meaning to all that fades

Freezing winds were stayed by warming words

To touch your healing to the hurt

I'll treasure every lesson learned to the embers

Fire fails, blushes pale

We will answer the call

There's a meaning to all our

Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams

Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone

Frail is our beauty in the end

But all we count is sentiment

A memory stays to guide the way, and whisper

Don't lose sight, don't deny

We are leaves meant to fall

There's a meaning to all our

Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams

Fills the need that can leave us grieving alone

A symphony resounding in our minds

Guides us through what we knew would come all along

Sometimes I feel I don't have the words

Sometimes I feel I'm not being heard

And then I fear I'm feeling nothing more

Sometimes I feel I don't want this change

I think we all have to rearrange

And now I feel there's no one losing me

Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams

Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone

A symphony resounding in our minds

Guides us through

As you hear me

As you do

As you need me

Making true, what we knew would come all along

Puzzling Rapunzel lyrics - Amanda Somerville

Leave me in the shelter
Of my shadded room
But don't leave me
For too long, my love
Leave me but know
I’ll be waiting for you
I’m puzzling Rapunzel, I know

I’ve let my hair down,
But don't think you noticed
Just go and leave me open, my Love

But the breeze blowing in,
Well, it gives me a shiver
Your presence here could really
Calm me down

Time will keep on rolling
While I keep on waiting here
And believe me,
I have patience of steel

Just know in your heart
That your hesitation
Speaks volumes to me
Of how you feel

I could take this feeling
and stash it away
As I count the ways that we both lose
I could bare all my heart,
but would you appreciate that?
After all I am here and still wait

Time will keep on rolling
While I keep on waiting here
And believe me,
I have patience of steel

Just know in your heart
That your hesitation
Speaks volumes to me
Of how you feel

Now I have this fear and,
Oh, how I hold it in here
how I long for shelter
Of your arms

How I yearn to enflod
And be the world to you
Come out and be my love…
Be my love…

Time will keep on rolling
While I keep on waiting here
And believe me,
I have patience of steel

So don’t be a fool
if your hesitation
just show me the way
That you feel

So don’t leave,
But know I’ll be
Waiting for you

I’m a puzzling Rapunzel, I know
I’m a puzzling Rapunzel, I know
I’m a puzzling Rapunzel, I know

Still The Same lyrics - Amanda Somerville

Tell me something nice
Tell me something good
Seeming negative, nothing’s understood
I creeps up so fast
Lingers that is gone
I think faith has abandoned me
And now I’m feeling wronged…now I’m feeling wronged

Take me as I am
Take me into you
Breathing, don’t exhale
Hold me with what’s true
But even if you don’t
I won’t let it get me down

I hold fast to my realism
And this is what I’ve found

Beyond this fear
Beyond theses useless days
I’m here (still a mess, truth be known)
Here it’s still the same

Let me in your mind
Let me in your soul
It’s not that much
It’s not that much to ask
Just a lot to hold

Why you stick around?
Why you heat my plea?
I’m at a loss for what to do
My heart won’t let it be

Beyond this fear
Beyond theses useless days
I’m here (still a mess, truth be known)
Here it’s still the same

Take my words to heart
And you’ll probably take me home
I think that I say too much
And that’s why I’m alone

Beyond this fear
Beyond theses useless days
I’m here (still a mess, truth be known)
Here it’s still the same

Beyond this fear
Beyond theses useless days I’m here
(still a mess, truth be known)
Here it’s still the same
Here it’s still the same
Here it’s still the same

Here it’s still the same
Still the same…

The Strength I Need lyrics - Amanda Somerville

I can feel the tumble weeds blowing
Through the desert that is now my life
I can feel the emptiness echo
Through the chambers that hold my heart
I miss you, and it's Hell, but I’ll go on
I will go on

Now, everyone worries, but I know with time
this will be all, die down and it’s work out fine
I only wish you could see how hard it is
Without you near to me
You’re so dear to me

I have to keep in mind that I haven’t changed
I harbor no bitterness though I feel pain
I bear no guilt, I’m not ashamed
I’ve done all that I can and I will remain

Heaven, give me the strength I need

There’s chill upon the air, bit I welcome the cold
And I suppose that’s strange
There’s a roar up in the sky
But I think it’s the stars telling me to wait
I miss you, and it’s Hell, but I wait here
Oh, I stay quiet

And the hardest thing is my helplessness
I’ve opened the door, now you have the rest
I can’t mend a wound inside you that’s not from me
But it’s still so hard without you near to me
You’re so dear to me

I have to keep in mind that I haven’t changed
I harbor no bitterness though I feel pain
I bear no guilt, I’m not ashamed
I’ve done all that I can and I will remain

Heaven, give me the strength I need

Oh, love
Oh, my love
Give me the strength I need…

‘Cause I haven’t changed
I harbor no bitterness though I feel pain
I bear no guilt, I’m not ashamed
I’ve done all that I can and I will remain

Heaven, give me the strength I need

Give me the strength I need…
Give me the strength I need…

I Feel It lyrics - Amanda Somerville

I can’t hardly wait to you get home
The thunder calls me and, man, I roll
When that fire spreads and I need you badly (so badly baby)
Just give me your love and I’ll take care of you baby

When you’re here I don’t quite know where here is
You get me lost, get me there, get me so near this
Legs and tongues and fingers and my heat’s up
Running through, running on, running over
And then some

Do you love me?
Because I feel it
Do you love me?
Oh, I know that you love me
Because I can feel it
And we’ve got to keep burning on like this
Show me how deep love is
Just love me

Sink your teeth right in, go on and burn me
You know I like it, don’t worry, you ain’t gonna hurt me
The tide comes on and I just want to ride the wave
And wrap around your warmth
Just let me bathe in it

Do you love me?
Because I feel it
Do you love me?
Oh, I know that you love me
Because I can feel it
And we’ve got to keep burning on like this
Show me how deep love is
Just love me

Down, down, down
Take me down
Scorch me, torch me
Just love me
I’m all wet with your fire
You can take me down, take me higher

Do you love me?
Because I feel it
Do you love me?
Oh, I know that you love me
Because I can feel it
And we’ve got to keep burning on like this
Show me how deep love is
Just love me

Angel Of Mine lyrics - Amanda Somerville

You are everything I need to see
Smile and sunlight makes a ray to me
Laugh and come and look into me
Drips of moonlight washing over me
Can I show you what are for me?

Angel of mine, can I thank you?
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It’s you that always gives me strength
And I don’t know where I’d be without you

After all these years, one thing is true
The constant force within my heart is you
You touch me, I feel I’m moving into you
I treasure every day I spend with you
And all the things I am come down to you

Angel of mine, let me thank you
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It’s you that always gives me strength
And I don’t know where I’d be without you

Back in the arms of my angel
Back to the peace that I so love
Back in the arms of my angel I can finally rest
Feeling you again around me

Angel of mine, let me thank you
You have saved me time and time,
and time, and time again
Angel, I must confess
It’s you that always gives me strength
And I don’t know where I’d be without you

Angel of mine, can I thank you?
You have saved me time and time again

and time, and time again
Angel, I must confess
It’s you that always gives me strength
And I don’t know where I’d be without you

I Miss America lyrics - Amanda Somerville

I think I rather be in New York City
Where at least the cabbies notice you
(Even if it’s only half the time)
I think I rather be in California
Where no one notices anyone
(It’s OK since it’s the norm)

But I miss America..

I think I’d rather be in Delhi, India
Maybe I’d look good in a saari
(And the people seem so nice)

I think I’d be Australia
I’d just wear lots of sun-creen
(No ozone? Hey, at least it’s peaceful, but..)

I miss America
(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)
I miss America
(I only get what’s “As seen on TV”)
I miss America
I miss America..

I think I’d rather be in Pensacola
Even in the Florida hurricanes
(You’re safe with the Presbyterians there)
I think I’d rather be in Ponca City
“Oklahoma is OK!”
(Besides, I know someone from there)

I think I’d rather be in Venice,Italy
They’re cleaning the canals there
(Even though they’re sinking in the lagoon)

I think I’d rather be in South Africa
Maybe join the Green Peace
(And meet Nelson Mandela, but..)

I miss America
(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)
I miss America
(I only get what’s “As seen on TV”)
I miss America
I miss America..

I look around and I watch the sun go down
Over Wolfsburg
And still I can’t find one good thing
About Wolfsburg..

I miss… America
I miss America…
(I think I’d rather be in NYC)
I miss America…
(I think I’d rather be in CA)
I miss America..
(Or, FL, even Flint, MI, Paula,s Bethlehem..)
I miss America
(Anywhere but here)
I miss America…
I miss America…
I miss America…

Just Happened lyrics - Amanda Somerville

Take me, touch me like this
How do you know so much about me?
I’d tell you I love you
But I don’t think it would be right
And, quite frankly, I fear you’d doubt me
And, give the circumstance, we really shouldn’t be here now
But somehow I cannot pull away
And I know
You have to go, but just lay a little longer
I would give anything for you to stay

How did we ever get so far gone?
I didn’t mean for this to happen
Did you?
I love to be with you
A little too much, I think
But, hey, I guess sometimes these things happen
And it just happened

Four a.m. and right on time
We’ll be quiet under the sky
I’d love to stay like this, but I know it isn’t possible
You’ll just disappear and I’ll wonder why

And I know that, by some chance, you’re going down just as hard
And we should really just call it here
Because we both know it’s short-lived, and as it goes on day by day
It gets a little harder and harder to steer

How did we ever get so far gone?
I didn’t mean for this to happen
Did you?
I love to be with you
A little too much, I think
But, hey, I guess sometimes these things happen
And it just happened

There’s no one I’d rather waste my time with
Nothing more sweet that I could do
And until the time comes when it gets too hard to bear
I’ll do all I can to stay next to you

How did we ever get so far gone?
I didn’t mean for this to happen
Did you?
I love to be with you
A little too much, I think
But, hey, I guess sometimes these things happen
And it just happened

My Private Hell lyrics - Amanda Somerville

How many times will you run me over
Before I won’t get up again?
I’m not some life-sized blow up toy
But the tired girl with whom you began

I don’t believe in anything
Can’t put my faith in little things
You are the only thing that ever made sense
I thought I’d always be next to you
Now all I’m finding is solitude
Let go, but the light out, up goes the fence

‘Cause everyone loses their mind here
And no one’s got anything to tell
Did you ever think the we couldn’t cut it?
The doors are wide open
Welcome to my private Hell

How many times can I be offended
Before I’m done counting to ten?
I can’t find a reason for why I’ve stayed
It’s just nothing I ever planned

Don’t come to me with your fuck upsets
I don’t really care about your papercuts
When you slash at me in every which way
You say I’m lacking poignancy
Well, you need diplomacy
Let’s throw in the towel and call it a day

‘Cause everyone loses their mind here
And no one’s got anything to tell
Did you ever think the we couldn’t cut it?
The doors are wide open
Welcome to my private Hell

Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to you
No one’s confessing
It’s all second-guessing
I’m scared as Hell everyhting’s through
When somewhere I still love you

‘Cause everyone lost their mind here
And no one’s got anything to tell
Did you ever think the we couldn’t cut it?
The doors are wide open
Welcome to my private Hell

My private hell
My private hell
Hell...

How It Had Been lyrics - Amanda Somerville

I thought that you’d forgotten me
And it’s plain to see why
And I won’t pretend to be
Not at all angry or try not to cry

So, forgive me if I just let it out
And, believe me I won’t mean to shout
But I need! Oh! I need.
Oh I need to

I must say it’s not been fun
And more than a little dumb for too long
They say that time heals everything
But I think that’s a bunch of shit
Oh, how they‘re wrong

So, forgive me if I just let it out
And believe me I won’t mean to shout
If you read me than just let me spout off
But I need! Oh! I need.
Ooohhhh I need to

And I hope you can recall the love from before it all
Even though I know it’ll never again
Be how it had been

And I want you to know now I miss you even more
For I know, it’ll never again
Be how it had been

So, forgive me if I just let it out
And believe me I won’t mean to shout
If you read me than just let me spout off

If you still need me, don’t make me walk out
And know it’s silly of me that I might still pout

But I need
Oh… I need
Oh… I need to

Blue Nothing lyrics - Amanda Somerville

The sun set hours ago
And I knew that you were right
The moon rose, my heart froze
And plunged me into the night
I felt a little crazy, without song
An I cried out into the air
I looked down a crowded corridor
And pretended you were there

I free-fell a few weeks ago
And I came out from under your rule
I boo-hooed in my party shoes
And I still feel like a fool
And I still can’t believe how hard I was hit
With the bullet of your departure
I come away a little dragged down
But at least maybe now I’m a little smarter

Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days

You’re still walking high and free
That’s the last thing that I heard
I don’t dream, it makes me want to scream
But don’t dare utter a word
So that’s the way it goes in the modern times
No permission and no substance
Well, screw the system that keeps me down
With all fighting and no justice

Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days

I tip-toe to the edge of the water to peer at my reflection
I don’t think I’m liking what I see
Detached and disillusioned, I turn my head away
Man, I don’t like knowing that’s me

So maybe I’m “Blue” for nothing
Singing blue about nothing
Writing, feeling, singing
And it’s all a big blue nothing

Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days
Every day, I stay away
Every way, you haunt my days

Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
Baby, I’m blue for nothing…

I Write For Me lyrics - Amanda Somerville

You talk about gardens and talk about Prague
You talk about artists’ imitations of life and love
You talk about the “grander things” and we talk about you
But I ask how you feel and you can;t even think it through

You talk about your brothers and future happenings
You ask me what I think and I just smile because they’re only little things
You talk about of the color sqhems in the hotel rooms of dark and light
But I ask you could you live with me and you just kiss me goodnight

So, I won’t advertise that I love you
And I won’t tell you how your smile light up the room
You can just say that you’re impressed with my rhythm
Or something like that
And I won’t ask anything again anytime soon

You talk about bondage while I stare at the moon
And you talk about poet’s sonnets and summarize their doom
You talk of scheme of things where everything goes
But I ask you I am for you and you smile and say, “Who knows?”

So, I won’t advertise that I love you
And I won’t tell you how your smile light up the room
You can just say that you’re impressed with my rhythm
Or something like that
And I won’t ask anything again anytime soon

So I won’t pour my heart out and break when you don’t notice
And I won;t tell you how your loving sets me free
You can just stick to the technicalities
And I’ll just know that I write for me

I write for me
I write for me...

Mayday lyrics - amanda somerville

Setting sail, I'm homeward bound
Full of metaphors and rhymes
Thought I'd find some refuge on your shores
Didn't think that you would mind
You treat me like I'm a patient
Leave me to my own demise
Cast me out into an eastern wind
Throw me to the raging tides

I've crashed and burned, I guess I'll have to swim
(No signal on the radio)
I bail it out, but water's pouring in
(And I'm yelling in the microphone)

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink
Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be
So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me?
Mayday, mayday, baby
Mayday, mayday

Adrift alone on wayward seas
Try to follow in your wake
I know I should get back on course
But it's too dark to navigate
I never saw it coming
Oh, I didn't read the signs
You're a cut and run, I'm on my own
No, you'll never toe the line

No land in sight; won't help me if I swim
(An SOS I'm going down)
No way to fight against these wicked winds
(Still I'm screaming in the microphone)

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink
Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be
So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me?
Mayday, mayday, baby
Mayday, mayday

I raise my hands to part the sea
But not even Moses could save me
As I capsize you stand by
And salute me in my futile fight

Here comes a tidal wave to drown me in my sin
(No signal on the radio)
I'm overboard, my future's looking grim
And I'm yelling in the microphone

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink
Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be
So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me?
Mayday, mayday, baby
Mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday, baby
Mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday

Point Of Safe Return lyrics - amanda somerville

You look at me with all the regret in the world
Swimming in your eyes
I gulp it down
But, you know, it all comes back with stinging sourness
Did you believe me when I said that I didn't mean
To raise your hopes and then disappear
Or did you just smile because you believe
You're past the point of safe return, anyway

[Chorus:]
I never meant to make you sorry for loving me
I never meant to make you sorry

You hardly pretend to notice I'm even there
And I don't know if that's really right
You push it aside
But, you know, it only appears to go in deeper
And is it true you believe what I said wasn't real
That it was only a silly game
That just seems easier to believe
When you're past the point of safe return, anyway

[Chorus]

I'm so sorry you were hurt
And I guess I can't say enough
It's no fun when you feel burned
But I guess it was hard for me to believe
You should have tried harder to make me see
Ah, hell, it got so hard for us to see
Past the point of safe return, anyway

[Chorus to end]

You could have had it how you wanted
But instead it tumbled down
Could have made us into something
But instead I made you sorry
Could have let me hear it someday
In the time that I was around
But you wanted me to pretend
Then I didn't want it anymore, anyway

Moth lyrics - amanda somerville

I blame it all on you for feeling this way
You and your wily ways
'Cause I don't stand to gain a thing
I give you all the room you need
I fill in the gaps between your lines
But there's nothing there to read

And I can't stop now
I can't give in
Did you take all that you wanted?
Go round and round
The ice is thin
Have you no mercy?

[Chorus:]
It's getting awfully hot in here
I race for an escape
You're radiating all I fear
I know I'll burn if I get too near
But I can't pull away, though I've nothing to gain
I'm a moth to your flame

I know you've had your suspicions
Because I've given you reason to doubt
That my words are without meaning
I'd break you out of your cell
I would slip you the key under watchful eyes
But you pretend not to see

And I see you smile
I feel you stare
The mercury keeps rising
You start this fire
Send up your flares
Then leave me hanging

[Chorus]

Grant me some relief, be it only one kiss
Stave off my yearning with the grace of your lips
Give me some reprieve, let it be my demise
Have I misread all of your seemingly tell-tale signs
And your promising rhymes?

[Chorus]

You burn my wings and...

I blame it all on you for feeling this way
You and your wily ways
'Cause I'm just a moth to your flame

My Song For You lyrics - amanda somerville

I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I have a smile and I have a tear in my eye
But mostly - oh, you know -
My heart falls to you on the less happy, lower-end side

I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I must have loved you, even on the back line
For why else would the thought of you haunt me
To such a wickedly sharp-edged degree
and it's slicing me up and it's spitting me out...

[Chorus:]
I sing my song for you
I sing out loud for you
I sing my song for you
My only relief from you

I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I'm a helpless child still frozen in your light
I look away to protect myself
Because I feel that you would burn me like the sun

[Chorus]
I sing my song for you
you take the breathing...
I sing out loud for you
and I am sinking...
I sing my song for you
you leave me on the low...
My only relief from you

You never should have happened
So goes my song for you
I think back...
So goes my song for you

I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I dream the same dream of you like an automatic dial
And I cannot afford to spend this time on you
So I ask you to please leave my mind
because you never belonged in there, did you

[Chorus]
I sing my song for you
you take the breathing from me
I sing out loud for you
and I am drifting slowly
I sing my song for you
you leave me on the low side
My only relief from you

So goes my song for you
That you never should have happened
No, you never should've happened
So goes my song for you
You never should have happened
And I sing out loud for you

Get Me lyrics - amanda somerville

I'd been told
Your love is like liquid gold
And I've been sold
And it's all right
What you showed to me

It's all good...

You're a storm
And don't forget I was warned
Lightning's formed
And no regrets
Skies are torn for me

[Chorus:]
I'll tell them it's real
I'll tell them I'm healed
I'll tell them you won't forget me
I'll tell them they're wrong
Then tell them I'm gone
And hope that you don't forget
To get me

They all said
She's only good in your bed
But in my head
I knew you would
Live instead for me

[Chorus:]
So, tell them it's real
Then tell them I'm healed
And tell them you won't forget me
Then tell them they're wrong
Then tell them you're gone
I hope that you don't forget
To get me

Tip the scale
I'd hammer you like a nail
What a tale
The pain from you
Is like a rail through me

[Chorus]

I got you believing I won't run away
I knew you would get me another way
You thought I was leaving some other day
So, you didn't get me, I'd say

Got to be love
Got to be the one
Never met someone who was taking me down

Got to let it out
Got to be strong
Making you hot is really taking me along

Really been fun
Really been around
Should've maybe listened to the stories going 'round

Really a shame
Really uncool
Never saw it coming you a-winding up a fool

Inner Whore lyrics - amanda somerville

Let it out...
Let me be your...
No, no, no, I don't want this
Come, play me a song
Take me away, take me along
I feel so lost
Tempted to run, driven astray
Never to return again

With eyes just like the night, pierce me with your darkness
You drive out all the light with your subtle darkness

[Chorus:]
You make me feel the need
To let out my inner whore
You make me feel the greed
The fire I can't ignore

I try all that I can
All that I want
To get you to come to me and say
"To hell with it all."
You'd throw it away and never look back again
You close around me tight; let me feel your darkness
I won't put up a fight, we can be the darkness

[Chorus]

The break...
It isn't mine to take?
But is it worth the break?

With eyes just like the night, pierce me with your darkness
You drive out all the light with your subtle darknes
I need...

[chorus]
You make me want to bleed
To swim to the other shore
You make me feel the heat
You keep me wanting more

I need to let out my inner...
So let me be your...

Out lyrics - amanda somerville

Receive me
Unleash me

I crave the morning
Quickly, come
I get down on my knees and pray
And hope the dawning pulls me right out of my dream

You walk right by my window
Every day I can feel you so near
When will you come to get me out of my fear?

Would you unwind me
If you'd finally find me

[Chorus:]
I am tied to the ground
Ready to be unbound
Would you break me out and would you help me
To get out
Get out
Pull me out

Each day a new tomorrow
And I long for the same old aim
I'm bound in bitter sorrow
I know I want out, but I can't

Would you unleash me
If you'd perceive me?

[Chorus]

Get me out, please hear my prayer
(Do you think it'll go that way?)
I get down on my knees and pray
(Do you think it'll run that way?)
I get down on my knees and pray

Get me out just to dry my tears
Yes, I pray
Would you help me to get out?
Get out
Pull me out

Carnival lyrics - amanda somerville

I've got it bad
What do I do with this ache that I have?
Just let it be...
Or should I use all the tricks up my sleeve?

This ain't a game
This ain't a game I want to play
All the pieces are frayed
And there are rules
Oh, these are rules I can't obey

It seems so unfair
They bite and they scratch when they're not even there
The giddyup days
Go down with the sun as the calliope plays

So take a spin
Come take a spin and start the show
Climb the ropes and let go
You're worried now
Don't worry now, no one'll know

[Chorus:]
Would you think very badly of me
If I took the first route that's easy?
Would you help me to free
All the baggage you see
Could you conquer this carnival?

It's started to sting
All of these words that I feel when I sing
Take it away
I can't bear to see how you suffer this way

So many things
Too many things you can't deny
Such good reasons to try
I want to hear
I need to hear you say the lines

[Chorus]

Would you battle the Pisces in me?

This ain't a game
This ain't a game I want to play
All the moves have been feigned
And there are rules
Too many rules no one obeys

Would you think very badly of me
-Don't think badly of me-
If I took the first route that's easy
-I'll find a way out-
Would you help me to free
All the baggage you see
Could you conquer this carnival
-Could you conquer me-
Would you battle the Pisces...

Clean lyrics - amanda somerville

Finish me
Push me off the ledge
So hard to read
So hard to make a call on what you do or say
It's not my place to do so, anyway

A magnet pulls
It singes the air
I'm torn in two
I'm watching your fingers painting shadows with the beat
Longing for your hands to reach out for me
And don't you know
I need to come clean

[Chorus:]
Indiscreet
I've got something to say
Giving away my dirty deed
Is it indiscreet
I've got nothing to lose
To tell you you're the liquid of my dreams
I need to come clean
Taunting me
I'd say you were there
We're stumbling
We're walking a tightrope made of high voltage wire
We're melting as we tend to our fires

You're whispering
I don't want to hear
You're mumbling
You see how I fight to claw my way further down
The need to bury my secret is strong
And yet I know
I need to come clean

[Chorus]

Heaven help me
Will I ever be clean of this
Mortally afflicted
Heaven help...
But leave a light on so you can watch me sin

[Chorus]

Glistening
We dance in the rain
So easy now
So hard to pull the brake once you're on the ride
You'll get to know me from the inside
I need to come clean

Sometimes lyrics - amanda somerville

Sometimes I wonder if it's true
What they say of me and you
'Course I know that you love me
And it's good as it can be
But is anything really perfect
I guess we'll see

Sometimes I wonder
Can it be that this is it
You are for me
'Cause I know that I love you
Nights are lonesome without you
But could anything be forever
I guess we'll see

Walking along, one thing in mind
You and me together
The sound of you whispering falls on my ears
And all my doubt soon disappears

Sometimes I wonder... will it stay
'Cause I'd be crushed if you went away
But could anything be that tragic
I guess we'll see

Of course, I know that you love me
And it's good as it can be
But could anything be forever
Could anything be that perfect
Could anything be that tragic
I guess we'll see...

Windows lyrics - amanda somerville

So many windows
I'm standing naked there inside
All eyes can see me
And there's no way to pull the blinds
I can't deny what I've confessed
I cannot run from how I feel
So be the shelter in my strife
Come remind me I'm alive

You stop the bleeding
And kiss away the tears that fall
Light up the shadows
And help me climb over my walls
And I'm not sure how much you know
How much your light has helped me grow
And you're the only one

Turn off the light
Bring on the night
I need to be unseen
I can't escape the wind biting its way in
Through all of my windows

It's never easy
I know, with all that I demand
It's not a given
All the burden you withstand
But I'm so grateful that you do
And maybe this is overdue
I know it's true, my Love

Turn off the light
Bring on the night
I need to be unseen
I can't escape the wind biting its way in
Through all of my windows again

Don't trust your eyes
Don't read my plight
Don't ask me what it means
My blessing and my bane
It calls me out by name
Carving out new windows

So many windows
They leave me naked here inside
All eyes can see me
Through my windows
