Meredith Brooks - Blurring The Edges
I need some good luck I need a best friend I need a rough dog I need a mountain I need some new clothes a TV, a cause, a trip to nirvana, the thrill of applause I need a wet kiss I need to confess I need a vision, religion, the right to be silent and then to be heard a week on an island a diet that works
I need a dose of the Bible another course of survival just talking 'bout the essentials to make me feel alive
Thats all I need see how easy I am to please Thats all I need see how easy I am
I need some money, more money and more time a strong cup of coffee, a haircut, a lifeline a stranger to trust me, my father to love me Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rundgren I need a guitar to do it on all fours Cool friends, weekends and someone to die for
When I'm alone on my couch Nothing can settle me down I'm adding on to my list It makes me feel alive
Thats all I need see how easy I am to please Thats all I need see how easy I am, I am, I am
yeah thats all I need
I need a guru I need to chill I need a Mercedes 280 SL yeah that'll fix it- I'll be complete I need a -- I need I need a
That's all I need see how easy I am to please Thats all I need Maybe then I will be complete
That's all I need I'm not asking for everything That's all I need See how easy I am- I am

I hate the world today You're so good to me, I know but I can't change Tried to tell you but you looked at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and Sweet
Yesterday I cried You must have been relieved to see the softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything, all rolled into one
* I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed, I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothin in between, You know you wouldn't want it any other way. *
So take me as I am This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous And I'm goin' to extremes Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing
(Chorus)
Just when you think You got me figured out The season's already changing I think it's cool, You do what you do And don't try to save me
(Chorus 2x)
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you're hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover I've been numb, I'm revived Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way.....

Somedays it goes your way your on a road you can't explain and then it all goes down the drain Your cat's hit by a car the ATM eats you card you're wondering what changed from yesterday
Save me from - from going mental Save me from just spinning out
Somedays are better than others Somedays you just can't figure out Somedays you can't explain
My best friend and me one night Were drinking peace on crescent height Just like that we end up in a fight like a yo-yo up and down you're heading north you end up south
Save me from - from going mental Save me from just spinning out
Somedays are better than others Somedays you just can't figure out Somedays are better than others you can't explain somedays away someday
Save me from - from going mental Save me from spinning out
Somedays are better Somedays are never Somedays - whatever Somedays are better than lovers Somedays you just can't figure out Somedays are better than others Somedays you just can't get out Someday, yeah yeah

You were my wild companion we were forever high high high we burned the night around us sleeping could wait until we die You were the scars of passion and since the crashing came You've broken every promise I walked away
I watched you fall I was blind to ya was lying to ya like everyone else who watched you fall say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl
It's such a weary feeling When you've been stealing from yourself wishing the world away blaming someone else no one can do this for you straighten you hair fix your face Take all the pain inside you wash it away
I watched you fall I was blind to ya was lying to ya like everybody else who watched you fall say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl
Did I hear you? Did I try? Can I forgive myself for not standing by?
I watched you fall I was blind to ya was lying to ya like everybody else who watched you fall say they love you but they're laughing, laughin' when you crawl
I was blind to ya was lying to you said I love you but I'm laughing when you crawl was blind to ya you fall I watched you fall I watched you

Here we go again Same old argument You're callin' me Miss Pollyanne
You see the world as cruel And bein' mad is cool You're thinkin' I don't give a damn
* You don't have to shout to be heard Who said dark is deep You'd rather flip the bird I'd rather show you signs of peace Love ain't a dyin' art as far as I can see Oh sentimental me *
Fist up in the air My knees should be up there You only give yourself away
So paint your roses black and blue Use the fuck word, I can too When I have nothing else to say
(chorus)
Here we go again We may never change So you can call me Pollyanne.

Prick of the pin no blood on me I've been tested, total wasted, and too deep To the zone I retreat what doesn't kill you makes you strong eventually
Blade to my skin, blurring the edge seven doves are waiting for me up ahead I just breathe in I just breathe out I've taken every hairpin curve by now
I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack but it doesn't matter I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack
Promise the world dropped in a pool Was it fun? Did you enjoy acting so cool? Well here's the thing still have my head I stumbled hard but I'm not sleeping in your bed
Saved by the sun, no shame on me Come out screaming, it's the only time we're free I just breathe out I just breathe in I ride the wave until I come again
I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack but it doesn't matter I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack but I'll never shatter cause:
I still have a secret In the dark I keep it closed I still have a secret no one knows...
I may crack but I'll never shatter Destiny wasted over and over I may crack but it doesn't matter In the darkness I won't shatter
Shake down just did in time It's amusing that I'm still on fire I just breathe in I just breathe out I may crack but I'll never shatter cause:
I still have a secret In the dark I keep it closed I still have a secret no one knows In the dark I keep it closed
I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack but I'll never shatter I may crack...

We lock the doors at night, all the sirens scream I don't drive my car-- insurance is too high I live here in the city-- my hometown's far away I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car
The stars come out at night to see them on the strip Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this I'll never leave the small town girl behind The place were I come from is with me all the time
Oh, You could walk the streets when the sun goes down in my littletown You don't need defenses when the sun goes down in my little town
Back home on the street - after ten at night Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good health You don't hear the harm when Mrs. Avery walks her dog
All I every wanted was a view of city lights Break away from here - leave behind the quiet nights Spend half your life trying to make a change And the other half trying to get back again
Oh, You could walk the streets when the sun goes down in my little town You don't need defenses when the sun goes down in my little town
Look down the road - look up the highway Look past the fences - look at the faces What do you have on the other side?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - oh
Oh, you could walk the streeets when the sun goes down in my little town You don't need defenses when the sun goes down in my - my town You could walk the streets when the sun goes down in my little town You don't need defenses in my little town where I come from
Yeah Yeah, in my little town You don't need a gun in my little town where I come from Yeah Yeah, in my in my in my in my little town

Electricity eye to eye Hey do I know you? I can't speak
Stripped my senses on the spot I've never been defenseless I can't even make sense of this You speak and I don't hear a word
* What would happen if we kissed? Would your tongue slip past my lips? Would you run away? Would you stay? Or would I melt into you? Mouth to mouth lust to lust Spontaneously combust *
Room is spinning out of control You act like you didn't notice brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit ring on my finger Your such a moral, moral man Would you throw it away? - A question Will I pretend I'm innocent?
(chorus)
What would happen if we kissed? Ah...
I struggle with myself again Quickly the walls are crumblin' Don't know if I can turn away
What would happen if we kissed? Would your tongue slip past my lips? Would you run away? Would you stay? Or would I melt into you? Mouth to mouth If we kissed...
Would your tongue slip past my lips? Would you run away? Would you stay? Or would I melt into you? Mouth to mouth If we kissed......oooooooo ahhhhh If we kissed......oooooooo ohhhhh ooooo ahhhh

Woke up this morning with my head so heavy...
Thought about leaving on the next train comin' Sometimes it gets so easy running from town to town But changing beds won't change this feeling that I'm going to drown Too many hearts are broken-- we're never asked why Too many sunsets are just passing us by Come over here now don't be shy Do you want to be happy or you want to be right?
It don't get much better than this There's nowhere left to run to No use worryin' about what you missed Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this
We talk and talk and never know what it means It really doesn't matter 'cause nothin's ever what is seems All I ever wanted is here with you But sometimes, baby, I get wrapped up and confused So lets go on down to the edge of the sand Take some time and take my hand So much here we don't understand So kiss me like the world is going to end!
It don't get much better than this There's nowhere left to run to No use worryin' about what you missed Cause here it is baby: It don't get better than this Oh, better than this
Come on Come on - take my hand It don't get much better than this There's nowhere left to run to No use worryin' about what you missed Yeah here it is baby: it don't get better than this Oh Oh Oh
