Just hold me
and pretend that you really know me
Just pretend that you want to be
with me because of who I am
Just hold me
and pretend that you know what I'm saying
Just pretend that you actually understand me
and I'll play along
Just hold me tightly
and act like you know what's wrong,
and what's rightly yours,
If you do, I'll smile at you slightly
and I'll play along
But if you step outside the rules of the game
You may not find me so forgiving
'Cos after all it's just pretend
I'm counting to ten
Just tell me when you want to stop
Since we're playing this game still,
you've got to buy me roses and dinners
and then fill my life with those
bowses and frillses and stuffs,
it's your duty to provide
After all, what good are you anyway?
And as for me,
I'll do my hair and my nails and my make-up
I'll wear my pretty dresses
As a hobby, I'll take up acting dumber than you
(of course, in an adorable way)
But if you step outside the rules of the game
You may not find me so forgiving
'Cos after all it's just pretend
I'm counting to ten
Just tell me when you want to stop
So if you wanna be a doll in this game of house,
I'll be your minnie, you'll be my mickey mouse
I suppose it might be fun
After all, we're playing dumb ... aren't we?
Track Name: Always That Way
Always That Way
And the moments were mine, time after time,
and the fall passed away
So I gave it my best, after the rest of them left,
it was only me who stayed
And it’s always that way
Yeah it’s always that way
I walk down the road with my baggage in tow
And the things I have known,
it would turn your blood cold
The tears they all flow into rivers of gold
And they’re streaming and streaming
and streaming and streaming and …
I had it all planned, but what of that now?
I’m learning to let go
It still will be grand, as we work it all out
We’re forgetting ourselves more and more
and more and,
Oh it’s always that way
Yeah it’s always that way
I walk down the road with my baggage in tow
And the things I have known,
it would turn your blood cold
The tears they all flow into rivers of gold
And they’re streaming and streaming
and streaming and streaming and …
You can take what you can, but leave what you must in order to go on
You can look for true love, it’ll be in your heart,
When you focus away, when you focus beyond
And it’s always that way
Yeah it’s always that way
Track Name: Wise
Wise
You cannot ask for what you want if you don't know what that is
All you'll do is scream and cry till you find out what that is
And the storms will come around your soul
And terrify your eyes
They'll shake the gates of all you know
And make you a little more wise ... wise
You cannot give out what you've got if you won't open your fist
No you can't receive the things you would if you'd just open your fist
And the storms will come around your soul
And terrify your eyes
They'll shake the gates of all you know
And make you a little more wise ... wise
Listen to people around you
Listen to your conscience which whispers,
Whispers to you
Listen to those who would love you
If only you would let them,
They'd open your life to you
You're better off not speaking if you've got nothing to say
And you're better off know knowing if you won't care either way
You're better off not going if you'll complain the livelong day
And you're better off not loving if you must have it all your own way
And the storms will come around your soul
And terrify your eyes
They'll shake the gates of all you know
And make you a little more wise ... wise
Track Name: Without Me
Without Me
This is the room where you keep your life
In boxes from floor to ceiling
I can squish, I can scrunch, I can go without lunch
But I can't fit into those boxes you're happily filling
This is the room where you keep your wife
In a box that reaches the ceiling
I can stretch, I can leap, I can go without sleep
But I'll never be quite the right height
For that space you've been saving!
Are you making a list
Are you checking it twice
Are you making real sure you're doing everything right
Are you taking your vitamins faithfully every day
Are you walking your dog
Are you getting your sleep
Are you contributing monthly to your RRSP's
Are you eating right, feeling great,
Exercising 3 times a week?
Without me
I see you've got it together
In fact, on further examination,
Your act is so tight, there's no room for me
Wouldn't you agree?
Well, you'll wake up one morning and realize I'm gone
I had no choice so I moved on
You were cheerful then, you're cheerful now,
I guess forever cheerful you'll be
Without me
So are you making a list
Are you checking it twice
Are you making real sure you're doing everything right
Are you taking your vitamins faithfully every day
Are you walking your dog
Are you getting your sleep
Are you contributing monthly to your RRSP's
Are you eating right, feeling great,
Exercising 3 times a week?
Without me
Without me
Without me
