But Now I Do...

I used not to sleep
Too many secrets to keep
Dirty rivers running deep
I used not to sleep
But now I do...
I do...
I used not to speak
My tongue was tangled with grief
The words were too, too sad to release
I used not to speak
But now I do...
I used not to touch
Thought it would hurt me too much
I didn't know it could be such fun...
I used not to touch
But now I do...
I do...
I used not to sleep
But now I do
I do...

You said
Nobody else would have me
You said
Nobody else would have me
You said
"You're weird, girl
and you're wild.
Nobody wants a broken child"
You said
Nobody else would have me
And you were right…
Nobody else but you
You said
Nobody else would love me
You said
Nobody else would love me
You said
"Everybody's heard your story
No-one's listening any more"
You said
Nobody else would love me
And you were right…
Nobody else but you

My heart hurts
My heart hurts
I've been loving so hard
I have hurt my heart
I feel nice
I feel right
My face aches
My ribs might break
I am killing myself
Laughing myself to death
I feel nice
I feel right
I can hardly talk
I can barely sing
I've been screaming with joy
Screaming!
Throwing your name again and again
Throwing your name in the air
And catching it in my mouth again...
Catching it in my mouth again
I couldn't feel any better

Pearl

Hey beauty...you have to listen to me
Those tears on your face, they look so out of place
(Don't let loving make you blue)
And don't let this ignorant boy run rings around your heart
Don't let this little fucker steal your sparkle
You dug in mines for that...
Cos you're a pearl
And you're a princess
And he's a fool if he doesn't know this
Oh beauty...you have to listen to me
There's nothing you can do if he's just not into you
(Don't let loving make you blue)
This boy must be blind if he can't see you
And your gorgeous behind...
Cos you're a pearl
And you're a princess
And he's a fool if he doesn't know this

Nuzzle

|

|
Can I keep you, like a secret,
In my pocket, against my thigh?
Can I hold you, like a chicken,
Press you warm against my chest?
And when I see you,
Can we nuzzle?
I won't tell you that I love you...
Like a crocodile
I will cradle you in my mouth
And rock you on my tongue
Between the silk and my skin
Nearly where my soul begins
I'll balance you there
And when I see you,
Can we nuzzle?
I won't tell you that I love you...
Not with words...
Not that way...
With my nose against your neck
I'll close my eyes...and think it...
"I love you" I won't say
Can I keep you, like a secret,
Like I already do.

King

I once had a king
Made me laugh, made me sing
Made me everything
I once had a king
Oh how I loved my king
Oh how he loved me
I once had a king
He unlocked my throat
Drew out every note
For him this I wrote
Oh how I loved my king
Oh how he loved me
So all you lovers and friends
Future, present and then
If you're thinking of me
Be as sure as can be
Know this one thing
I have had a king...

Away with these self-loving lads
Whom Cupid's arrow never glads
Away poor souls that sigh and weep
In love of them that lie and sleep
For Cupid is a meadow god
And forceth none to kiss the rod.
Away with these self-loving lads
Whom Cupid's arrow never glads
God Cupid's shaft, like destiny
Doth either good or ill decree
Desert is born out of his bow
Reward upon his feet doth go
What fools are they that have not known
That love likes no laws but his own?
Away with these self-loving lads
Whom Cupid's arrow never glads

The Devil and Me
04:41
|
|||
|
And all this time
When I thought it was just the devil and me
But you, my love,
Were there all this time
I thought I was alone
Thought there was something wrong
All this time
Who were you hiding from?
I needed you all along
All this time
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Where have you been?
Lonely I was, as well
Through several shades of hell
All this time
What were you scared I'd see?
How utterly lovely you can be?
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Where have you been?
You only had to call
And I'd have run across the broken glass
Or fought back flames
Or whatever it takes
Just to be near you
I was always here...
We all need someone to give it away to!
You found my life, you found me
And I love you
I love you...
