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...
