I Want Your Man to Be My Man
I hate to see all these ugly feelings in me unfurl
I know I sound like that psycho guy in Jesse's girl
I want your boyfriend and I know that's not okay
I'm afraid of what I'll do to get you out of my way
I want your man to be my man
Loving me instead
But there's no swaying his devotion
He won't be misled
It's not like me to forget about respect and say, Fuck the sisterhood
And I can't steal what won't be stolen but if I could, I would
I want your man to be my man
I wish you joy and I wish you love and I wish you'd relocate
Every time I see you crazy kids I turn into a girl I hate
I want your boyfriend and that's just no way to be
These things never wrap up cute like in a John Cusack movie
I want your man to be my man
Loving me instead
But there's no swaying his devotion
He won't be misled
It's not like me to forget about respect and say, Fuck the sisterhood
And I can't steal what won't be stolen but if I could, I would
I want your man to be my man
The further something is from my grasp
The more I want it, the more I want it
I think that I'll get over this thing fast
Just let me get my hands upon it
I want your boyfriend and I know that's not okay
I'm afraid of what I'll do to get you out of my way
I want your man to be my man
Loving me instead
But there's no swaying his devotion
He won't be misled
It's not like me to forget about respect and say, Fuck the sisterhood
And I can't steal what won't be stolen but if I could, I would
I want your man to be my man
I know I sound like that psycho guy in Jesse's girl
I want your boyfriend and I know that's not okay
I'm afraid of what I'll do to get you out of my way
I want your man to be my man

Ain't No Use in Looking Down
Visions of Madison and Onderdonk
You're in the living room, you're playing the guitar
Nothing in my world to improve upon
It was enough to know you never would be far
Always said you were my hero and it's still true
Because you are still you
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left
Recuerda aquella vez
That's home to me
The blue dodge makes it way along the BQE
I'm working hard to be your legacy
Ain't no use looking down as far as I can see
Always said you were my hero and it's still true
Because you are still you
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left
Ain't no use in looking down
You know where to find me
Up on the third floor
You know where to find me
Up on the third floor
When you take accolades for who I am
Bragging on me like I'm a cake that rose just right
The day you glory in your little lamb
Those are the spoils that will keep me in the fight
Always said you were my hero and it's still true
Because you are still you
Ain't no use in looking down
You know where to find me
Up on the third floor
You know where to find me
Up on the third floor
You're in the living room, you're playing the guitar
Nothing in my world to improve upon
It was enough to know you never would be far
Always said you were my hero and it's still true
Because you are still you
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left
You'll never get home with your left
You'll never get home with your left, right, left

Crying Jags
Not used to being single
A set of keys jingle
I think it might be you at the door
I keep the television turned up
Dinner got burned up
I'd never used the oven before
Now I have to send off my own bills
Then I think I'll cry til 10:15
Lately my tears flow at their own will
And I can only function in between
Crying jags
Humiliating, heart-rending
Crying jags
I'm a little sad
Right now you're probably with her
I stare at your picture
Like you'll climb out and love me again
It's time-consuming and morbid
But now I can afford it
I've got all kinds of time to spend
I've just got to send off my own bills
Then I think I'll cry til 10:15
Lately my tears flow at their own will
And I can only function in between
Crying jags
Humiliating, heart-rending
Crying jags
I'm a little sad
I see she's got you smiling
This kills, to put it mildly
While you're finding yourself in her stupid soul
Misery is about to swallow me whole
Watching Matt Lauer
I'm never up at this hour
I just didn't get to sleep last night
Hoping I could determine
Just when I had lost you
Trying to figure what I didn't do right
Now I have to send out my own bills
Then I think I'll cry til 10:15
Lately my tears flow at their own will
And I can only function in between
Crying jags
Humiliating, heart-rending
Crying jags
I'm a little sad

I'm So Good At Wanting What I Can't Have
I don't know if this is my most profound crush
But it's my most possessive
I want some version of you that lives in my imagination
The real you is far less impressive
I touch your arm and feel blood rushing to my lips
I want to be the only one to penetrate you
My eyes meet yours and for a second there's a blue eclipse
And if you knew, what lives in me would overtake you
Every day I drink you in
Self denial like heroin
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
I only wish for what I know will never come to pass
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
I'm addicted to desire left unsatiated
I'm getting off on your indifference, I can't even breathe
I want you so intensely that having you would not abate it
But maybe I just love the cravings that I never heed
Every day I drink you in
Self denial like heroin
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
I only wish for what I know will never come to pass
I'm so good at wanting what I can't have
Sometimes dreams are better than, are better than experiences
Having you might be too much, too much for all my seven senses...

Never A Better Girl
You used to search my face and ask me if I was your baby
I would say, why not, as long as we're both here
You saw every day as another chance to love me
And your sweet nothings fell on my indifferent ears
Well, I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
You're entitled to the kind of adoration you bestow
I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
Don't you find that unrequited passion, darling, is harmful to the soul
So I let you go
And it broke my heart just to notice my heart wasn't breaking
As I sat you down and told you we'd reached our end
You said you understood but I could feel you shaking
And I pulled back and wiped your tears with a steady hand
I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
You're entitled to the kind of adoration you bestow
I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
Don't you find that unrequited passion, darling, is harmful to the soul
So I let you go
I could have stayed and waved loneliness away
With your love and you would have said okay
And I'm feeling so damn noble just for not being that awful
That I think I just might give myself a medal
I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
You're entitled to the kind of adoration you bestow
I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go
Don't you find that unrequited passion, darling, is harmful to the soul
So I let you go
I would say, why not, as long as we're both here
You saw every day as another chance to love me
And your sweet nothings fell on my indifferent ears
Well, I was never a better girl to you than when I let you go

Set Myself Free
Sometimes the sun forgets her daily appointment with me
A bad morning, new desperation
But all I need to do is stay up all night and thank my very lucky constellation
Because I am lucky and I forget this
Not everybody is born to get bliss
I've got more than I ever thought that I'd ever have
Am I worthy?
I am loved and I bet I could love somebody good if I set myself free
Set myself free
Maybe a year from now I'll look at myself and say
Yeah, see that girl there? I really love her
Maybe five years from now I'll look at someone and say
That pretty child there? Yeah, I'm her mother
Oh, I am lucky and I forget this
Not everybody was born to get bliss
I've got more than I ever thought that I'd ever have
Am I worthy?
I am loved and I bet I could love somebody good if I set myself free
Set myself free
A bad morning, new desperation
But all I need to do is stay up all night and thank my very lucky constellation
Because I am lucky and I forget this
Not everybody is born to get bliss
I've got more than I ever thought that I'd ever have

I am loved and I bet I could love somebody good if I set myself free
Set myself free
Everywhere in My World
If you cannot appreciate me, I'll treasure myself
If I find you displeasing, baby, I'll pleasure myself
I love everybody but I don't need anyone
I stretch out on the roof and get made love to by the sun
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Once upon a while ago, I searched outside of me
And wondered why I never felt much closer to complete
Begging for some kind of love that never filled me up
I am my own heaven now, I'm quaking to my own touch
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alive and I'm an open sky
I'm a child but a little less wise
I'm the dream where you wake up laughing
I'm the car with the music blasting
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
If I find you displeasing, baby, I'll pleasure myself
I love everybody but I don't need anyone
I stretch out on the roof and get made love to by the sun
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Yeah, love is everywhere in my world
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright

Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
Moksha
Even pleasure's an acquired taste
You shield your eyes from a glorious sunrise
And the hardest part of winning the race
Is letting go and accepting the prize
My heart is peaceful now because I gave it up
It don't belong to me anymore
If someone wants to break it, best of luck
Why blow the house down? There's an open door
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Sometimes I feel a phantom turbulence
Like a sailor whose body thinks he's still at sea
Until he wakes up in his wife's embrace
I remind myself that I am free
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
And now I understand my waking hours are still only dreams
And now I understand at any time I can start over clean
You shield your eyes from a glorious sunrise
And the hardest part of winning the race
Is letting go and accepting the prize
My heart is peaceful now because I gave it up
It don't belong to me anymore
If someone wants to break it, best of luck
Why blow the house down? There's an open door
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby

Pull Me Home
There's a bar painted green across the window in the kitchen
There's a fire escape overlooking the yard
There's a rocking chair where I crawl into your lap and listen
As you promise we'll never be apart
We'll never be apart
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
Break my heart open one more time and I may not find all the pieces
So I keep my distance on this shore
The exquisite pain and longing that memory releases
Is all that reaches to my core
It reaches to my core
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
How did you get so far from home
How do you find yourself so far from home
How did you get so far from home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
There's a fire escape overlooking the yard
There's a rocking chair where I crawl into your lap and listen
As you promise we'll never be apart
We'll never be apart
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
Break my heart open one more time and I may not find all the pieces
So I keep my distance on this shore
The exquisite pain and longing that memory releases
Is all that reaches to my core
It reaches to my core
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
How did you get so far from home
How do you find yourself so far from home
How did you get so far from home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
You pull me, pull me, pull me home
