You're Not Alone lyrics - Semisonic
Everybody knows that the world is wrong
Only thing to do is write a song
That's one way to take a wrong and make it alright
So drink up your time, take a pill for the pain
Come out of the dark and in from the rain
I want to see your face in the glow of the firelight
The water's warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You've always known
There's someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
You're not alone
Gaze in my eyes and tell me I'll be alright
Even if I don't get what I need tonight
Sometimes the complexity gets a little complex
Other times it's easy as baking a pie
Falling off a log and living till you die
What would even be the point if we knew what comes next?
The water's warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You've always known
There's someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
You're not alone
You're not alone
Dance love pray to the beat
Make a little poem you can sing in the street
Who do you believe, the TV or your beating heart?
You wanna fight the power or tell it the truth
Better take the fight to the voting booth
Sharpen your senses cos you're gonna have to see in the dark
The water's warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You've always known
There's someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
All It Would Take lyrics - Semisonic
There was a time when I believed
That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me
There was a time when I could see
A straightaway line for someone, somehow to wake me
But innocence gets paid in flames
And dreams of change waste on the vine
When all it would take is
One voice, one light, one hand
Writing the words of
One choice, one fire, one pen
Changing the world within me and around me
Changing the world within me and around me
That's all it would take
There was a time when I could fly
I'd open my mind and nothing was above me
I felt I could climb the mountains high
But then when I reached the summit, was it just me?
The darkest night in disbelief
And hope could fade or start to ignite
And all it would take is
One voice, one light, one hand
Writing the words of one choice, one fire, one pen
Changing the world within me and around me
Changing the world within me
Who would have known that's all it would take
Within me and around me
Changing the world within me
That's all it would take
There was a time when I believed
That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me
Basement Tapes lyrics - Semisonic
So we get
Loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs
And we set
Out on highway thirty-five to discover
What's the plan?
Sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather
Where's the map?
One of us is barely holding it together
I've still got all your basement tapes
I'm still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don't say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
So we tool
Down to Kansas City to sleep on a sofa
And we're cool
Temporarily cos we're from Minnesota
Later on
Walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter
On the lawn
Talking while inside you made out with her sister
I've still got all your basement tapes
I'm still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don't say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
Summer diamonds rushing by us
Wake me up when we get there
I'm still cranking your basement tapes
I'm still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don't say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
Don't Make Up Your Mind lyrics - Semisonic
Save me
When I'm so far away from you I'm lost
I don't want to be free at such a cost
Just come over and save me
Wake me
Every night I've been howling at the moon
Every day I've been sleeping tomb to tomb
Just come over and wake me
It's always the same fight
Spit it out in black and white
If you're already gone doesn't matter who's wrong and who's right
I don't want to lose you
I wish you could see how I need you tonight
So don't make up your mind till you come back and look in my eyes
Lonely
Science fiction with the sound turned off
Writing you while the spaceships blow up
Can't get any more lonely
Crazy
And obsessing on every cruel detail
Endless checking on my empty email
This is driving me crazy
It's always the same fight
Spit it out in black and white
If you're already gone doesn't matter who's wrong and who's right
I don't want to lose you
I wish you could see how I need you tonight
So don't make up your mind till you come back and look in my eyes
I don't want to lose you
I wish you could see how I need you tonight
So don't make up your mind till you come back and look in my eyes
So don't make up your mind till you come back and look in my eyes
Lightning lyrics - Semisonic
I was down in the dark
With my friends on the sidelines
Watching you radiate
I could hardly believe
When you came down to find me
That's when everything changed
But those moments don't last
The brightest come and go in a flash
Am I asking for too much for lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time
Am I pushing my good luck to wish that you'll call me
Call me a second time
You've got glitter and grace
Everything that I don't have
I wish I was like you
Even when you're away
No one else on my radar
You're all I want to do
It was magical then
So why can't we have magic again?
Am I asking for too much for lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time
Am I pushing my good luck to wish that you'll call me
Call me a second time
(Lightning to strike me)
(Strike me a second time)
Am I asking for too much for lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time
Am I pushing my good luck to wish that you'll call me
Call me a second time
Lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time
Chemistry lyrics - Semisonic
I remember when I found out about chemistry
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly my mission was clear
So for awhile I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From a fine fine girl with nothing but good intentions and a
Bad tendency to get burned
All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know
Ah wonder what you do to me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Some time later I met a young graduate
When I had nobody to call my own
I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate
And I just couldn't do it alone
So for awhile we conducted experiments
In an apartment by the River Road
And we found out that the two things we put together had a
Bad tendency to explode
All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you've learned
I'll memorize everything you do to me so I can
Teach it when it comes my turn
Fine spring day, California waves
Sweet Pacific scenes through the
Windows of airplanes and hotel rooms
So when I find myself alone and unworthy
I think about all of the things I learned from the
Fine fine women with nothing but good intentions and a
Bad tendency to get burned
All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know
Ah wonder what you do to me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you've learned
I'll memorize everything you do to me so I can
Teach it when it comes my turn
It's all about chemistry
It's all about chemistry
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
It's all about chemistry
It's all about chemistry
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly my mission was clear
So for awhile I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From a fine fine girl with nothing but good intentions and a
Bad tendency to get burned
All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know
Ah wonder what you do to me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Some time later I met a young graduate
When I had nobody to call my own
I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate
And I just couldn't do it alone
So for awhile we conducted experiments

And we found out that the two things we put together had a
Bad tendency to explode
All about chemistry

Teach it when it comes my turn
Fine spring day, California waves
Sweet Pacific scenes through the
Windows of airplanes and hotel rooms
So when I find myself alone and unworthy
I think about all of the things I learned from the
Fine fine women with nothing but good intentions and a

All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know

Bed lyrics - Semisonic
My little darling it's a crying shame
The way that you lead me on
And I've got nobody but myself to blame
Cause I've always just played along
Well show me a body that gets no love
And I'll show you a body that's way messed up
Well it seems like you're aware of the effect you have on my head
If you feel like I'm asking you for too much
We can keep in touch
And I'll find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
My little darling I'm a tangled mess
When you tease me the way you do
& what it would be like I can only guess
If you'd please me like I wanna please you
Well show me a friendship that's pure and chaste
And I'll show you and engine that's dying to race
Well the time has come for me to find
Another way to get my soul fed
I know we could be the sweetest friends
But if that's where it ends
Then I'll find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
Well the time has come for me
To take care of myself instead
You know if we remain
On a spiritual plane I will go insane
Don't make me find someone else to bed
Bed
Find someone
Find someone else to bed
The way that you lead me on
And I've got nobody but myself to blame
Cause I've always just played along
Well show me a body that gets no love
And I'll show you a body that's way messed up
Well it seems like you're aware of the effect you have on my head
If you feel like I'm asking you for too much
We can keep in touch
And I'll find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
My little darling I'm a tangled mess
When you tease me the way you do
& what it would be like I can only guess
If you'd please me like I wanna please you
Well show me a friendship that's pure and chaste
And I'll show you and engine that's dying to race
Well the time has come for me to find
Another way to get my soul fed
I know we could be the sweetest friends
But if that's where it ends
Then I'll find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
Bed
Find some
Find someone else to bed
Well the time has come for me
To take care of myself instead
You know if we remain
On a spiritual plane I will go insane
Don't make me find someone else to bed
Bed
Find someone
Find someone else to bed
Act Naturally lyrics - Semisonic
Our little secret just might be the kind of thing that you can't hide
It's growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in the tide
And everybody knew when you walked into the room
I was just a fool for you, nothing I could do
Everybody sees you taking control of me
Well I'm not begging for release
I'm just begging darling please, please
Act Naturally
Don't let our troubles show
Don't let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don't give them anything that they could doubt
Our little problem doesn't seem to be about to go away
As far as I can tell it's gonna keep on showing more with every day
And everybody look, yeah, that was all it took
I can't help believing they can read me like a book
So hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right
I don't know what I should but I
Would do it if I could
Act Naturally
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I'll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down

She's Got My Number lyrics - Semisonic
She's got my number she always did
She can always see where my secret's hid
Everything about me is hers to tell
She's got my number she always will
She's got my number I must confess
One look in her eyes and I feel undressed
She can see right through all my little games
She's got my number she has my name
Late night driving with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely late night
She's got my number I must confess
One look in her eyes and I feel undressed
All of the world's standing at her door
She don't even care what they're waiting for
And every mistake that I ever made
Every little sin is on her display
And through it all I find that I want her still
She's got my number she always will
Late night driving with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely
Late night highway with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely
Late night
She's got my number she always did
She can always see where my secret's hid
Everything about me is hers to tell
She's got my number she always will
She can always see where my secret's hid
Everything about me is hers to tell
She's got my number she always will
She's got my number I must confess
One look in her eyes and I feel undressed
She can see right through all my little games
She's got my number she has my name
Late night driving with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely late night
She's got my number I must confess
One look in her eyes and I feel undressed
All of the world's standing at her door
She don't even care what they're waiting for
And every mistake that I ever made
Every little sin is on her display
And through it all I find that I want her still
She's got my number she always will
Late night driving with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely
Late night highway with the telephone
In the car and I'm always
Waiting, waiting for the girl to call
I'll be lost on a lonely
Late night
She's got my number she always did
She can always see where my secret's hid
Everything about me is hers to tell
She's got my number she always will
Follow lyrics - Semisonic
I would sure love believing
In something that's never leaving
Would like to let go the hurting
When everything's so uncertain
You know I tried
To show you what I have inside
Will we laugh at how this all began
When you're an old woman and I'm an old man
Take me wherever you go
Help me forget tomorrow
Love me your best and I know
All of the rest will follow
Love me as well as you know
And everything else will follow
I wouldn't mind pretending
It's something that's never-ending
Would like to believe that someday
We won't be living this way
I know you tried
To show me you were on my side
Could it be that I've already found
The thing that I've been searching the whole world round
Take me wherever you go
Help me forget tomorrow
Love me your best and I know
All of the rest will follow
Love me your best and I know
Everything else will follow
Take me wherever you go
All of the rest will follow
Help me forget tomorrow
All of the rest will follow
Love me as well as you know
In something that's never leaving
Would like to let go the hurting
When everything's so uncertain
You know I tried
To show you what I have inside
Will we laugh at how this all began
When you're an old woman and I'm an old man
Take me wherever you go
Help me forget tomorrow
Love me your best and I know
All of the rest will follow
Love me as well as you know
And everything else will follow
I wouldn't mind pretending
It's something that's never-ending
Would like to believe that someday
We won't be living this way
I know you tried
To show me you were on my side
Could it be that I've already found
The thing that I've been searching the whole world round
Take me wherever you go
Help me forget tomorrow
Love me your best and I know
All of the rest will follow
Love me your best and I know
Everything else will follow
Take me wherever you go
All of the rest will follow
Help me forget tomorrow
All of the rest will follow
Love me as well as you know
Sunshine And Chocolate lyrics - Semisonic
All my life I've been looking for
The perfect mate
And when I finally found the one
It was almost too late
Underneath the auditorium
She showed me why
I would have waited all of my life
For somebody like
Sunshine and chocolate all over me
In my mouth and on my tree
Round my body under my hat
Sunshine and chocolate just... like... that
I was alone when I woke up
And found the note
It said you surely know how to fuck
But I gotta go
I hope you find someone to take care of
And give yourself to
And until I get to kiss you again I wish you
Sunshine and chocolate every day
In your work and in your play
In your mouth and down your back
I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that
Sunshine and chocolate all over you
Over everything you do
On your body and in your mind
Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine
Now my eyes are open wide
As I travel around
Maybe some summer day I'll find
Her face in the crowd singing...
Sunshine and chocolate everyday
In your work and in your play
In your mouth and down your back
I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that
Sunshine and chocolate all over you
Over everything you do
On your body and in your mind
Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine
The perfect mate
And when I finally found the one
It was almost too late
Underneath the auditorium
She showed me why
I would have waited all of my life
For somebody like
Sunshine and chocolate all over me
In my mouth and on my tree
Round my body under my hat
Sunshine and chocolate just... like... that
I was alone when I woke up
And found the note
It said you surely know how to fuck
But I gotta go
I hope you find someone to take care of
And give yourself to
And until I get to kiss you again I wish you
Sunshine and chocolate every day
In your work and in your play
In your mouth and down your back
I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that
Sunshine and chocolate all over you
Over everything you do
On your body and in your mind
Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine
Now my eyes are open wide
As I travel around
Maybe some summer day I'll find
Her face in the crowd singing...
Sunshine and chocolate everyday
In your work and in your play
In your mouth and down your back
I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that
Sunshine and chocolate all over you
Over everything you do
On your body and in your mind
Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine
Who's Stopping You? lyrics - Semisonic
Take all that you've got
Multiply by zero
Divide by the time you've got left
That's x
Add it up write it down tell me what you've found
We're speaking in tongues
Both of us dumbfounded
Our brains have been impounded by our hearts
Life is so uncertain
Look at all the hurting that we've done
You said you had somebody better to become
Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you
We're wasting our time
Watching our old reruns
Waiting for the good one that never comes
You say it beats working
On the emptiness that's lurking inside your head
Step into the light my friend
Who's stopping you [4x]
You said you had somebody better to become
Who's stopping you [8x]
I Wish lyrics - Semisonic
I wish I could be anyone but the one that I am now
I wish I could see any scene but the one I hang around
I wish I could do anything but the things I always do
No matter how I try to sing along
Something is always wrong
What I wish I knew
I wish I could drive in the car that you drive around the Bay
I wish I could ride in the back seat you're riding in today
I wish I could be more like someone you wish that I could be
No matter how I change it anyway
You won't even say if you really want me
I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
Cross the high seas for you
Whatever you need me to
I can climb the trees for you
Twist in the breeze for you
But there's one thing that I can never do
I can't believe for you
I can't believe in me for you
I wish I could turn into somebody far, far away
I wish I could make myself satisfactory in every way
I wish I could know whether you really know what you need
If I could only be somebody else
I wouldn't be myself
And maybe you'd want me
I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
Swim the high seas for you
Whatever you need me to
I've been climbing the trees for you
Twisting in the breeze for you
But one thing I can never, never do
I can't believe for you
I can't believe for you
I can't believe in me for you
I wish I could see any scene but the one I hang around
I wish I could do anything but the things I always do
No matter how I try to sing along
Something is always wrong
What I wish I knew
I wish I could drive in the car that you drive around the Bay
I wish I could ride in the back seat you're riding in today
I wish I could be more like someone you wish that I could be
No matter how I change it anyway
You won't even say if you really want me
I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
Cross the high seas for you
Whatever you need me to
I can climb the trees for you
Twist in the breeze for you
But there's one thing that I can never do
I can't believe for you
I can't believe in me for you
I wish I could turn into somebody far, far away
I wish I could make myself satisfactory in every way
I wish I could know whether you really know what you need
If I could only be somebody else
I wouldn't be myself
And maybe you'd want me
I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
Swim the high seas for you
Whatever you need me to
I've been climbing the trees for you
Twisting in the breeze for you
But one thing I can never, never do
I can't believe for you
I can't believe for you
I can't believe in me for you
One True Love lyrics - Semisonic
All above me the stars are bright
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
I could be happy if I could be
(In the dark with one true love)
And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(But all I want is one true love)
In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(All I want is one true love)
All of my life I've just wanted to be
(All alone with one true love)
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
I could be happy if I could be
(In the dark with one true love)
And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(But all I want is one true love)
In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found
And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(All I want is one true love)
All of my life I've just wanted to be
(All alone with one true love)
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
Get A Grip lyrics - Semisonic
Lonely boys and you lonely girls
Here at the end of the lonely world
You're finding out
If there's someone to cry about
Lonely girls and you lonely boys
Playing alone with your lonely toys
Well don't be blue
If there's no one to play with you
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
When the lights come on and the party's through
There are always a few with nobody to do
Well now don't despair
You'll eventually get there
And meanwhile all of you lonely ones
Here's what to do while you wait for the sun
To rise above
The loneliest kind of love
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
And it feels nice
And it feels nice [4x]
If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you
First you gotta get a grip on yourself it's true
Here at the end of the lonely world
You're finding out
If there's someone to cry about
Lonely girls and you lonely boys
Playing alone with your lonely toys
Well don't be blue
If there's no one to play with you
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
When the lights come on and the party's through
There are always a few with nobody to do
Well now don't despair
You'll eventually get there
And meanwhile all of you lonely ones
Here's what to do while you wait for the sun
To rise above
The loneliest kind of love
Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice
And it feels nice
And it feels nice [4x]
If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you
First you gotta get a grip on yourself it's true
Surprise lyrics - Semisonic
I feel the day is arriving soon
When I can't stay around anymore
They'll look in all the familiar rooms
Until they feel the breeze through the door
Then they can say it's the company that I keep
So they never have to believe in the tears I weep
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
You can stay if you have to do
It's got to be your own decision
But someday I will be back for you
And then you better not refuse me again
Cos one more chance is all I'll promise to provide
And circumstances choose for those who can't decide
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
Already moved along
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
Already moved along
When I can't stay around anymore
They'll look in all the familiar rooms
Until they feel the breeze through the door
Then they can say it's the company that I keep
So they never have to believe in the tears I weep
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
You can stay if you have to do
It's got to be your own decision
But someday I will be back for you
And then you better not refuse me again
Cos one more chance is all I'll promise to provide
And circumstances choose for those who can't decide
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
Already moved along
I'm gonna surprise them all
When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gonna surprise them all
Because I've already moved along
Already moved along
El Matador lyrics - Semisonic
Matador sweeps the veil
From the last young day of my life
Malibu tides inhale
Santa Ana Winds from behind
Wade out into the water
No more chances this year
I busied myself all summer
My day for swimming is here
Yes it's time
Seaside revelations
All those dreams and visions of mine
Washed up like a vacation
Lost as I wasted my time
Looking through my dark glasses
I see smiles on the faces of friends
But time keeps pushing me on now
And I'll ride this wave till the end
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Say goodbye to the weekend
And the last of the summertime sun
Driving off the end of a decade
So many things to be done
September and the trees are restless
Windchimes blow in the dark
Lying on the couch defenseless
With blue clouds court and spark
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
From the last young day of my life
Malibu tides inhale
Santa Ana Winds from behind
Wade out into the water
No more chances this year
I busied myself all summer
My day for swimming is here
Yes it's time
Seaside revelations
All those dreams and visions of mine
Washed up like a vacation
Lost as I wasted my time
Looking through my dark glasses
I see smiles on the faces of friends
But time keeps pushing me on now
And I'll ride this wave till the end
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Say goodbye to the weekend
And the last of the summertime sun
Driving off the end of a decade
So many things to be done
September and the trees are restless
Windchimes blow in the dark
Lying on the couch defenseless
With blue clouds court and spark
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Girlfriend lyrics - Semisonic
Walking into parties on your own
It's getting old now
Twice around the room and out alone
It feels so cold now
And I'm probably showing up
Just about the time you leave
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Wherever you are is where I'd like to be
Waking up alone and knowing how
I'm gonna spend the day
In cd racks and Java Jacks
The afternoon just slides away
And you're probably sitting near
With something you don't want to read
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Trying to find a little bit of sympathy
I get the feeling you're a lot like me
I see Paris flights are cheap these days
But I know how it's gonna go
I'll be wearing out the same two phrases
I don't smoke
I'm here alone
Walking into parties on your own
It's getting old now
Twice around the room and out alone
It feels so cold now
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Wherever you are is where I'd like to be
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Trying to find a little bit of sympathy
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Why do I get the feeling you're a lot like me
I get the feeling you're a lot like me
It's getting old now
Twice around the room and out alone
It feels so cold now
And I'm probably showing up
Just about the time you leave
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Wherever you are is where I'd like to be
Waking up alone and knowing how
I'm gonna spend the day
In cd racks and Java Jacks
The afternoon just slides away
And you're probably sitting near
With something you don't want to read
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Trying to find a little bit of sympathy
I get the feeling you're a lot like me
I see Paris flights are cheap these days
But I know how it's gonna go
I'll be wearing out the same two phrases
I don't smoke
I'm here alone
Walking into parties on your own
It's getting old now
Twice around the room and out alone
It feels so cold now
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Looking for a little bit of something sweet
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Wherever you are is where I'd like to be
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Trying to find a little bit of sympathy
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Why do I get the feeling you're a lot like me
I get the feeling you're a lot like me
Ordinary Life lyrics - Semisonic
Well I looked for the life fantastic
Cos I read it in a magazine
What I got was myself as a plastic figurine
And the happily ever after
I traded everything to see
Now my scene is the snow on a static TV screen
Lord I can dream of an ordinary life
Where nothing particularly weird is going down
Lord I can dream of an ordinary time
Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around
Well now read me a bedtime story
And be sure that it's nice and sweet
Cos I don't think I can take any more reality
With a peacefully ever after
For me and my little treat
And I don't want nobody saying "We'll wait and see"
Lord I can dream of an ordinary life
Where nothing particularly weird is going down
Lord I can dream of an ordinary time
Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around
Cos I read it in a magazine
What I got was myself as a plastic figurine
And the happily ever after
I traded everything to see
Now my scene is the snow on a static TV screen
Lord I can dream of an ordinary life
Where nothing particularly weird is going down
Lord I can dream of an ordinary time
Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around
Well now read me a bedtime story
And be sure that it's nice and sweet
Cos I don't think I can take any more reality
With a peacefully ever after
For me and my little treat
And I don't want nobody saying "We'll wait and see"
Lord I can dream of an ordinary life
Where nothing particularly weird is going down
Lord I can dream of an ordinary time
Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around
Closing Time lyrics - Semisonic
Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
[Chorus:]
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
[Chorus:]
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
[Chorus:]

Singing In My Sleep lyrics - Semisonic
Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind
In the City the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice
And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind
In the City the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice
And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
Made To Last lyrics - Semisonic
Made to last awhile
And roll on
Made to move in style
And move along
Made to dream of flying
So high
Made to wake up crying
I don't know why
Beautiful one
Asleep in the sun
Secret, sweet & sublime
I hope you last a long, long time
Made to come alone
And pair up
Flash like a rolling stone
Seventy-one
One time love affair
With the earth
Waiting on the air
For some re-birth
(For what it's worth)
Wherever you are
Nearby or far
Black, white, lemon or lime
I hope you last a long, long time
And roll on
Made to move in style
And move along
Made to dream of flying
So high
Made to wake up crying
I don't know why
Beautiful one
Asleep in the sun
Secret, sweet & sublime
I hope you last a long, long time
Made to come alone
And pair up
Flash like a rolling stone
Seventy-one
One time love affair
With the earth
Waiting on the air
For some re-birth
(For what it's worth)
Wherever you are
Nearby or far
Black, white, lemon or lime
I hope you last a long, long time
Never You Mind lyrics - Semisonic
Saturday morning alone and barely feeling
Sitting at home after rocking and a-reeling
All night in a cat fight
With the only one who can make me cry
Open the blinds and the world is in rotation
Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing
Sunshine, you were bad, I'm
Still mad but I can't remember why
I believe you know me well
I react like you're ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind
Rolling along to the song that aggravates us
Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis
Hurry, I'm getting blurry
And it's no longer clear in my mind
I believe you know me well
I react like you're ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind
I believe I got you down
You react like anybody else around
Are you sorry that we wasted our time
Never you mind
Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out
Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about
All the memories that I'd be better off without
I believe you know me well
Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain
Sweatin and strainin
Well it seemed so simple at the time
Sitting at home after rocking and a-reeling
All night in a cat fight
With the only one who can make me cry
Open the blinds and the world is in rotation
Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing
Sunshine, you were bad, I'm
Still mad but I can't remember why
I believe you know me well
I react like you're ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind
Rolling along to the song that aggravates us
Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis
Hurry, I'm getting blurry
And it's no longer clear in my mind
I believe you know me well
I react like you're ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind
I believe I got you down
You react like anybody else around
Are you sorry that we wasted our time
Never you mind
Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out
Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about
All the memories that I'd be better off without
I believe you know me well
Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain
Sweatin and strainin
Well it seemed so simple at the time
Secret Smile lyrics - Semisonic
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
DND lyrics - Semisonic
DND Now they'll leave us alone
DND Now you turn off the phone
How like you to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door
DND Hang the sign on the door
DND Don't disturb us no more
How like you to make your love my hideaway and
How like you to make my troubles slide away and
How like you to make me want to play forever
Here behind your door
Minute I got some space and time I
Wanted to get me back in the crowd
Minute I got some peace you found me
Trying to make my way to the loud
What a clown...
DND Leave the hotel at noon
DND Will I see you soon?
How like you to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door
DND DND
DND
Now they'll leave us alone
DND Now you turn off the phone
How like you to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door
DND Hang the sign on the door
DND Don't disturb us no more
How like you to make your love my hideaway and
How like you to make my troubles slide away and
How like you to make me want to play forever
Here behind your door
Minute I got some space and time I
Wanted to get me back in the crowd
Minute I got some peace you found me
Trying to make my way to the loud
What a clown...
DND Leave the hotel at noon
DND Will I see you soon?
How like you to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door
DND DND
DND
Now they'll leave us alone
Completely Pleased lyrics - Semisonic
I wanted to leave you
Completely pleased
Sleep drifting above you
Sweetly released
I want to see you smiling
Weak in the knees
I want to see you come, come
Completely pleased
I want to give you something
Priceless and free
And free -- ee -- ee
I wanted to leave you
Completely pleased
Sleep drifting above you
Sweetly complete/at peace
I want to see you hazy
Dazed and confused I
Want to see you come, come
Completely used up
I want to give you something
Forever and true
And true -- oo - oo
Completely pleased
Sleep drifting above you
Sweetly released
I want to see you smiling
Weak in the knees
I want to see you come, come
Completely pleased
I want to give you something
Priceless and free
And free -- ee -- ee
I wanted to leave you
Completely pleased
Sleep drifting above you
Sweetly complete/at peace
I want to see you hazy
Dazed and confused I
Want to see you come, come
Completely used up
I want to give you something
Forever and true
And true -- oo - oo
This Will Be My Year lyrics - Semisonic
Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time
New Years Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
Trash or the overnight smash that brings a
Ship crashing through your wall
So you can make your grand departure
From a world getting way too small
One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboards but you're not
Getting anywhere
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time
New Years Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
Trash or the overnight smash that brings a
Ship crashing through your wall
So you can make your grand departure
From a world getting way too small
One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboards but you're not
Getting anywhere
Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
All Worked Out lyrics - Semisonic
She's got it all worked out in her mind
And you're part of the plan
And you don't have the final word
She's got a long head start on your brain
And your heart is afraid
And you don't get to say you're thinking
Come on make it easy now
Come on make it easy on us all
Come on make it easy now or tears may fall
She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your time is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine
She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your life is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine
And you're part of the plan
And you don't have the final word
She's got a long head start on your brain
And your heart is afraid
And you don't get to say you're thinking
Come on make it easy now
Come on make it easy on us all
Come on make it easy now or tears may fall
She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your time is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine
She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your life is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine
California lyrics - Semisonic
Driven through the canyons I was
Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
Close enough to heaven if you
Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star
I tried to get inside I bought a
Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
I went out for a ride to go
Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead
California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
I was just a passenger a
Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
A visitor a stranger thought I
Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights
Tore my heart out from my chest
Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
Chose the ones I loved the most
Drove 'em all down to the coast
Threw 'em in a big black hole
California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
I got twelve little pieces of my mind
Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
Close enough to heaven if you
Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star
I tried to get inside I bought a
Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
I went out for a ride to go
Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead
California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
I was just a passenger a
Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
A visitor a stranger thought I
Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights
Tore my heart out from my chest
Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
Chose the ones I loved the most
Drove 'em all down to the coast
Threw 'em in a big black hole
California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
I got twelve little pieces of my mind
She Spreads Her Wings lyrics - Semisonic
At night she spreads her wings
She dreams of bigger things
She floats above the town
She sings without a sound
She can be anywhere at all
She can be anyone at all
A glow and then a shine
What she hoped she would find
Tonight, tonight
She's got a picture in her mind
She can be anyone at all
At night she changed her mind
She left the world behind
She dreams of bigger things
She floats above the town
She sings without a sound
She can be anywhere at all
She can be anyone at all
A glow and then a shine
What she hoped she would find
Tonight, tonight
She's got a picture in her mind
She can be anyone at all
At night she changed her mind
She left the world behind
Gone To The Movies lyrics - Semisonic
Now the rain comes down the windows and it
Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
He surveys his rental kingdom and he
Wonders if he's really lost his one joy
Another fool would go down to the
Only place she ever went to lose herself
She's gone to the movies now and she
Don't need your help
Now the rain turns into snowfall as the
City sky reflects the silver street below
And it covers up the cars and the Wall-
Flowers cd ended half an hour ago
Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
And drive to find the show
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
Now he looks around his place and anyways
There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed
And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow
Or he'll have to take the bus instead
Any other fool would be out on the roadway
Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back
Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
He surveys his rental kingdom and he
Wonders if he's really lost his one joy
Another fool would go down to the
Only place she ever went to lose herself
She's gone to the movies now and she
Don't need your help
Now the rain turns into snowfall as the
City sky reflects the silver street below
And it covers up the cars and the Wall-
Flowers cd ended half an hour ago
Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
And drive to find the show
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
Now he looks around his place and anyways
There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed
And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow
Or he'll have to take the bus instead
Any other fool would be out on the roadway
Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back

Fascinating new thing
You delight me
And I know you're speaking of me
Fascinating new thing
Get beside me,
I want you to love me
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
Fascinating new thing
The scene-makin'
Want a temporary savior
Fascinating new thing
Don't betray them
By becoming familiar
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless and you're precious
Even when you are not new.
You delight me
And I know you're speaking of me
Fascinating new thing
Get beside me,
I want you to love me
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
Fascinating new thing
The scene-makin'
Want a temporary savior
Fascinating new thing
Don't betray them
By becoming familiar
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless and you're precious
Even when you are not new.
If I Run lyrics - Semisonic
Morning comes and morning goes
Now it's me against the sun
The day goes by and darkness grows
And it's over before it's done
Well I know it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind
All my time keeps creeping on
Now I've grown into a man
But Mr. Child still wants to run
From the cradle to the van
Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.
Now it's me against the sun
The day goes by and darkness grows
And it's over before it's done
Well I know it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind
All my time keeps creeping on
Now I've grown into a man
But Mr. Child still wants to run
From the cradle to the van
Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.

Down In Flames lyrics - Semisonic
It's not the pain I'm used to it
I'ts feeling like I'm already dead
I see from the ceiling a misty spirit
Rising from a place in my head
And I never even get to go down
Down in flames
I said friend you have a life to see
Why do you scare me so?
All the suffering's a mystery to me
I can't even pretend to know
So you'll never even get to go down
Down in flames
We had plans to explore the stars
Be rejected by stage door guards
Mining for gold as the time unreels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
The plan was too burn up when the air was clear
We'd all wear our visors down
An arcwelder spark in the atmosphere
Not this man-sized hole in the ground
Now your father's face is frozen between anger and tears
Your mother's hair's amazingly gray
And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years
It's icicle reunion day
And you never even got to go down
Down in flames
You never even got to go down
Down in flames.
I'ts feeling like I'm already dead
I see from the ceiling a misty spirit
Rising from a place in my head
And I never even get to go down
Down in flames
I said friend you have a life to see
Why do you scare me so?
All the suffering's a mystery to me
I can't even pretend to know
So you'll never even get to go down
Down in flames
We had plans to explore the stars
Be rejected by stage door guards
Mining for gold as the time unreels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
The plan was too burn up when the air was clear
We'd all wear our visors down
An arcwelder spark in the atmosphere
Not this man-sized hole in the ground
Now your father's face is frozen between anger and tears
Your mother's hair's amazingly gray
And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years
It's icicle reunion day
And you never even got to go down
Down in flames
You never even got to go down
Down in flames.
Across The Great Divide lyrics Semisonic
Over mountains, that's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland here where I did this
Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines
Across the great divide alone wondering open afraid and,
Arrive in a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Try to find a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided).
A long, long ride to sunland here where I did this
Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines
Across the great divide alone wondering open afraid and,
Arrive in a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Try to find a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided).
Temptation lyrics - Semisonic
I went to see temptation yesterday
In a fourplex on the old high drive
Cause something in my life was runaway
Or maybe to prove that I am still alive
Temptation lives alone and she works all day
So I waited after five on her front porch
She arrived, parked her car and she walked my way
She smiled to see me standing at her door
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
She turned the key in the lock and let me in
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Somewhere in the world tonight
Two lovers are treating each other right
Somewhere else in a lonely town
One lover waits an endless hour
Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last
I know what I should never do
At least I'll keep temptations photograph
Maybe hang onto her phone number too
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
Well I don't plan to tell anyone where I've been
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
In a fourplex on the old high drive
Cause something in my life was runaway
Or maybe to prove that I am still alive
Temptation lives alone and she works all day
So I waited after five on her front porch
She arrived, parked her car and she walked my way
She smiled to see me standing at her door
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
She turned the key in the lock and let me in
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Somewhere in the world tonight
Two lovers are treating each other right
Somewhere else in a lonely town
One lover waits an endless hour
Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last
I know what I should never do
At least I'll keep temptations photograph
Maybe hang onto her phone number too
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
Well I don't plan to tell anyone where I've been
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
No One Else lyrics - Semisonic
You're the moviestar
Of my innerspace
Come to town a while
Bring your quiet place
Show me how it's done
With a wave of your hand
I'm destroyed and
Recreated
No one else can make me cry like you, you love
You're the only one
Who did everything right
Come to play with me
Come to change my mind
Sleepy valium
Low red light in the wine
I've been thinking about
The one you left behind
No one else can make me cry like you, you love
Laughing lost her way she caught a train to far points north and
left the phone bill on the table in the sun
She'd had enough of her old self same face same space she wanted
wider fields where she could run
Come on then
Time is getting late
Show me how you
Make it all rightNo one else can make me cry like you
No one else can make me fly get me high shine light inside and make me cry like you, you love
(3/27/95 10:08AM).
Of my innerspace
Come to town a while
Bring your quiet place
Show me how it's done
With a wave of your hand
I'm destroyed and
Recreated
No one else can make me cry like you, you love
You're the only one
Who did everything right
Come to play with me
Come to change my mind
Sleepy valium
Low red light in the wine
I've been thinking about
The one you left behind
No one else can make me cry like you, you love
Laughing lost her way she caught a train to far points north and

She'd had enough of her old self same face same space she wanted

Come on then
Time is getting late
Show me how you
Make it all rightNo one else can make me cry like you
No one else can make me fly get me high shine light inside and make me cry like you, you love
(3/27/95 10:08AM).
Falling lyrics - Semisonic
High above the mid-way lights
High above the rides, you, me and the sky
The whole world looks small tonight
And you said that we could never really fly
Well if you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why did I keep thinking 'bout you calling
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why do you keep thinking that you're falling
Swaying, singing at the skywheel top
Then you say that I can never make you mine
Well lights, rings, constellations turn and stop
Kiss me once again and change your mind
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why did I keep thinking 'bout you calling
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why do you keep thinking that you're falling.
High above the rides, you, me and the sky
The whole world looks small tonight
And you said that we could never really fly
Well if you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why did I keep thinking 'bout you calling
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why do you keep thinking that you're falling
Swaying, singing at the skywheel top
Then you say that I can never make you mine
Well lights, rings, constellations turn and stop
Kiss me once again and change your mind
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why did I keep thinking 'bout you calling
If you're right and we're nothing at all
Tell me why do you keep thinking that you're falling.
In Another Life lyrics - Semisonic
Hold on tight to what you believe in
Hold on to whatever you need, o yeah
Step inside the sweet illusion
Of another life
Where it's enought to be well meaning
And if you crash your plane you can try it again, o yeah
Well this time while you're believing
In another lifeToo late I'm done waiting
I won't be there
In another life
In another time
You always believed we'd mend it later
In another life
In another time
well I'm done waiting
When you finally tend to your blessings
You'd be mistaken to count on me, o yeah
Because you believed we'd do our loving
In another life
DarlingToo late I'm done waiting
I won't be there
In another life
In another time
You always believed we'd mend it later
In another life
In another time
well I'm done waiting
If you come round to see me don't be surprised
Maybe I'm out waiting in another life
In Another Life....
Hold on to whatever you need, o yeah
Step inside the sweet illusion
Of another life
Where it's enought to be well meaning
And if you crash your plane you can try it again, o yeah
Well this time while you're believing
In another lifeToo late I'm done waiting
I won't be there
In another life
In another time
You always believed we'd mend it later
In another life

When you finally tend to your blessings
You'd be mistaken to count on me, o yeah
Because you believed we'd do our loving

If you come round to see me don't be surprised
Maybe I'm out waiting in another life
In Another Life....
I'll Feel For You lyrics - Semisonic
If you're afraid to cry
Though you could use it once in awhile
Nothing will cloud your eyes
You've been through one of those times
When nothing's real or getting through
And it seems like you've forgotten how to feel
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too
If you're afraid to smile
Though you could use it just to survive
There's nowhere you want to drive
And you're only staying alive
'Cause it's the thing to do
And it seems your bell's forgotten how to ring
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too
If you're afraid to cry
Though you could use it just to survive
There's nowhere you want to drive
And you're only staying alive
'Cause it's the thing to do
And it seems your mouth's forgotten how to sing
Call me
Yeah
Call me
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too.
Though you could use it once in awhile
Nothing will cloud your eyes
You've been through one of those times
When nothing's real or getting through
And it seems like you've forgotten how to feel
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too
If you're afraid to smile
Though you could use it just to survive
There's nowhere you want to drive
And you're only staying alive
'Cause it's the thing to do
And it seems your bell's forgotten how to ring
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too
If you're afraid to cry
Though you could use it just to survive
There's nowhere you want to drive
And you're only staying alive
'Cause it's the thing to do
And it seems your mouth's forgotten how to sing
Call me
Yeah
Call me
Call me
I'll Feel
For you
And some days you'll feel for me too.
The Prize lyrics - Semisonic
The night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expected
We are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect it
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
The night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left us
And the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shameless
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can wait
Maybe there was a message in it
I don't know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I don't know where to fit it
Tell me what kind of prize can you get
Where you don't want to win it?
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait.
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expected
We are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect it
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
The night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left us
And the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shameless
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can wait
Maybe there was a message in it
I don't know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I don't know where to fit it
Tell me what kind of prize can you get
Where you don't want to win it?
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait.
Brand New Baby lyrics - Semisonic
Time, you needed time out of the mainstream
Out on your only
Alone to find yourself somehow
So I'm a bit surprised to see you lately
Beside a brand new baby
But if it makes you happy now
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down, oh yeah
If you're feeling sorry, try to contain it
You don't need to save me
Don't waste your pity anyhow
And you might like to believe I'm devastated
To see you with your brand new baby
Well if it makes you happy nowI guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down
Seen you with your brand new baby
Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy but I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now.
Out on your only
Alone to find yourself somehow
So I'm a bit surprised to see you lately
Beside a brand new baby
But if it makes you happy now
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down, oh yeah
If you're feeling sorry, try to contain it
You don't need to save me
Don't waste your pity anyhow
And you might like to believe I'm devastated
To see you with your brand new baby
Well if it makes you happy nowI guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down
Seen you with your brand new baby
Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy but I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now.
In The Veins lyrics - Semisonic
Red is the ocean which we ride
Carried along on a changing tide
Blind, blind rage and pure delight
Running in the current side by side
Waiting for whatever we haven't tried
Baby it's amazing all the tings a self contains!
Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
Heaven transcendence agels fly
Anger and vengence, blue, blue sky oh!
All injected from the mind
Down in the liquid world combined
And your prescription has been signed!
Search the wild green outside and inside is what remains.
Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
Wide open world there is no mind without you
And a little bit is not enough
Wide open mind divine world about you
And a little bit is not enough
And a little bit is not enough
Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains.
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
In the veins!
Carried along on a changing tide
Blind, blind rage and pure delight
Running in the current side by side
Waiting for whatever we haven't tried
Baby it's amazing all the tings a self contains!
Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
Heaven transcendence agels fly
Anger and vengence, blue, blue sky oh!
All injected from the mind
Down in the liquid world combined
And your prescription has been signed!
Search the wild green outside and inside is what remains.
Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
Wide open world there is no mind without you
And a little bit is not enough
Wide open mind divine world about you
And a little bit is not enough
And a little bit is not enough
Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains.
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
In the veins!
Wishing Well lyrics - Semisonic
Last night I dreamed of falling
Down a wishing well.
No one could hear me calling
From where I fell.
And from above the ground
I could faintly hear
The world and all her sounds
Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
Not even angels saw me
From tall starry skies.
And then a searchlight shone upon me
Bright in my eyes.
For all this time I prayed
You might come around.
Now stranger I'm afraid
I might call you down.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true.
Then it's just begun
And who, who have I become?
Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning
Lately getting up has only got me down.
Maybe there's a place where I can live again
Never leave the ground.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
(Now the damage is done)
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true
And it's just begun.
Who, who have I become?
Down a wishing well.
No one could hear me calling
From where I fell.
And from above the ground
I could faintly hear
The world and all her sounds
Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
Not even angels saw me
From tall starry skies.
And then a searchlight shone upon me
Bright in my eyes.
For all this time I prayed
You might come around.
Now stranger I'm afraid
I might call you down.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true.
Then it's just begun
And who, who have I become?
Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning
Lately getting up has only got me down.
Maybe there's a place where I can live again
Never leave the ground.
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
(Now the damage is done)
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true
And it's just begun.
Who, who have I become?
Star lyrics - Semisonic
I wandered in the moonlight
A ghost without a friend
All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men.
I know that I did some damage
I wanted to be home again
So I waited for a star my soul to mend
I waited for a star my soul to mend.
She came a long way to love me
And I'm tasting her spark
She came a long way to kiss me
Now my lips are wet
I know that I don't deserve it
But I want to hear her sigh
And I want to stay here forever in her light
I want to stay forever in her light.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
And there's a dark crater space in heaven
And I might want you to shine
And there's a bright little place in my head
And darkness blows my mind
I can lie on my back and wonder
Why I've been treated so fine
And make love to her while we have tonight
I'll make love to her while we have tonight.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
A ghost without a friend
All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men.
I know that I did some damage
I wanted to be home again
So I waited for a star my soul to mend
I waited for a star my soul to mend.
She came a long way to love me
And I'm tasting her spark
She came a long way to kiss me
Now my lips are wet
I know that I don't deserve it
But I want to hear her sigh
And I want to stay here forever in her light
I want to stay forever in her light.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
And there's a dark crater space in heaven
And I might want you to shine
And there's a bright little place in my head
And darkness blows my mind
I can lie on my back and wonder
Why I've been treated so fine
And make love to her while we have tonight
I'll make love to her while we have tonight.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me you lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
I'll be a satellite, satellite.
Sculpture Garden lyrics - Semisonic
Twilight in the sculpture garden
When we walk around the place
Look upon the beautiful secrets
That all the artists' made.
How fast the light has faded
And we still wanna stay
Turn down the noise in the city
The dark downtown parade.
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden, In the garden.
Midnight in the sculpture garden
Underneath the cherry moon
We can make our own beautiful secret
We can join the fabled few.
Starlight in the sculpture garden
With a stainless steel balloons
Rose petal vermillion breezes
I beieve the artists knew.
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden, In the garden
When we walk around the place
Look upon the beautiful secrets
That all the artists' made.
How fast the light has faded
And we still wanna stay
Turn down the noise in the city
The dark downtown parade.
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden, In the garden.
Midnight in the sculpture garden
Underneath the cherry moon
We can make our own beautiful secret
We can join the fabled few.
Starlight in the sculpture garden
With a stainless steel balloons
Rose petal vermillion breezes
I beieve the artists knew.
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden, In the garden
The Gift lyrics - Semisonic
It's a hurting desire strong and sweet
Memory so pretty I can hardly say
You thought I was sleeping as you walked to the street
You gave what you wanted then you went away.
Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
I went on a mission to the town where you lived
Dark, dusty places you've not seen in a while
I want to seek the basements where you hid
I want to see your face as a little child.
Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
Did you mean what you did?
Could you give it again, ever again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
Memory so pretty I can hardly say
You thought I was sleeping as you walked to the street
You gave what you wanted then you went away.
Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
I went on a mission to the town where you lived
Dark, dusty places you've not seen in a while
I want to seek the basements where you hid
I want to see your face as a little child.
Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
Did you mean what you did?
Could you give it again, ever again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?
Over My Head lyrics - Semisonic
Long ago I was told there were riches inside of me
Someone old hid the gold and the finding was my affair
In those days when my ears heard a story my mind believed
So I searched with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
Yes you know many tried none succeeded my mind to train
When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed, uncool
Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down the drain
Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
Someone old hid the gold and the finding was my affair
In those days when my ears heard a story my mind believed
So I searched with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
Yes you know many tried none succeeded my mind to train
When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed, uncool
Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down the drain
Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
