Chantal Kreviazuk Album

We were occupied
We never had to go outside
I was your alibi
We were planning our escape

We stayed up all night
With Lucy and the diamond sky
Drank cheap red wine
And talked ourselves to sleep

[Chorus:]

Please don't go
These ghosts of you
The only thing that help get me through the day
Baby please don't go
Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same

We could laugh out loud
And sing until the sun came out
We took a secret vow that we would never change
You always loved to dance
I wish we had another chance
To go back in time and do it all again

[Chorus]

I don't wanna live forever
But if we could be together
Then I wouldn't mind infinity
I don't wanna live forever
Oh but I can still remember
No I wouldn't mind infinity

[Chorus x2]

When you're on your own
When you're at a fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many signs and arrows
You haven't laughed in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

When you forget your name
and the pleasure can't disguise your pain
and you don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
You can have a happy face
It can be so real

ohhhhhh

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
Is all that I can do

I don't mean to get into your dreams
But you seem to think it's alright to destroy
You became such an opportunist
Somewhat dim it's a bad combonation

[Chorus:]

You can never erase
That you were not popular in school
You can't erase you were poor
And a no one
You can never erase who you were
No matter what you become
I know where you are from
And that you spoke in tongues

I know you're really just hurt and afraid
But you pretend that nothing gets to you
I'm not the one to dance on a break
But you're the one who bought me these dancing shoes

[Chorus]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah [x2]

I can still remember the day
When we first met
And I saw myself in you
I don't mean to rain on your parade
But the sky's getting dark
And there's nothing that you can do

Don't you want to get to know me well
Don't lie to me cause I can always tell
When you're feeling strange
I know you

There's no point in banging any blame
The mind is powerful it loves to play
Games that don't come with any rules

I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I could
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good

I know it's not the way we planned
I love it when yo take my hand
And kiss me and then just hold still
You fill me with all your energy
Your poisons, antidotes and sympathies

In a place that no one could ever fill

I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I could
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good

An you won't be alone when you sleep tonight
Cause I worry, oh I'm worrying too
But the ocean sends waves to the beach so we'll play
And to clean all the water up too

I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I would
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
Every line on you face does me good

All they know is to photograph
People when they're on their knees
Say your prayers and wear your black
And be grateful it's not you and me

How am I supposed to live
Knowing that they're dying
How am I supposed to laugh
Knowing that they're crying

When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old

Raise me up to where the wind blows
Out of the ghettos oh
Raise me up to where the sun glows
Out of these shadows oh

When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old

I don't need to be forgiven
I don't want your sympathy
It's a mad mad world
But it's still turning

Don't wanna get too complicated
Or get so dark that I can't see
Yeah it's a mad mad world
But I'm hoping

[Chorus:]

I'm waiting for the sun to shine
I wait until the day I die

I'm tired of living in the shadows
But I'm not giving up on me
It's a sad sad world
But I'm still waiting

I can't worry about tomorrow
What each new day's gunna bring
Cause every dark cloud
Has a silver lining

[Chorus x2]

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

[Chorus x2]

It's a mad mad world
Oh I'm gunna live my life
Oh
It's a mad mad world
Oh
Die
I

I don't know why the winter's so long
It wears me out
It goes on and on
Yeah I don't know why the winter's so long
It seems never ending
It goes on and on

I know you blame yourself but don't

oh oh oh [x6]

I don't know why this town is so small
It makes me mad
I've seen it all
Yeah I don't know why this town is so small
There's nobody left here
Everyone's gone

I know you blame yourself but don't

Oh [x6]
oh oh oh [x6]

It's mothers birthday
She's forty years
I don't know what to say
Buy her roses and cry her tears
She'll just give them away

Maybe I'll fight it
Maybe I'll fight it

[Chorus:]

Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just wanna stay here and laugh
Oh we only
Oh we only bloom away

You were wearing my favourite dress
When you left that day
My pillow covers your photograph
You come to me in ways

Maybe I'll find her
Maybe I'll find her

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be the one who has to be afraid
I don't wanna be the one you feel you sorry for
I just wanna be the one to make you smile
And kiss your face

It's mothers birthday
She's forty years
I don't know what to say

[Chorus x2]

I'm alone in this life
And these old jeans are too tight
And now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh but I cry
My dignity's undignified
I guess i'm really on my own

Love is like a little boy
No I'm not paranoid
But I'm onto you yeah yeah
Well I'm not seventeen
And I don't wanna be
So why am I hiding?

[Chorus:]

Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I wanna wake you from another lonely night
Is it too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful

I'm a very simple girl
And I don't fit into this world
The city lights leave me in a daze
And even though we've enver met
You know what I'm trying to forget
Some things you can never change

[Chorus]

I'm underneath
Underneath
I'm underneath
I'm underneath

[Chorus x2]

I get so blind
From all of these colours
Dressed up like kings and queens
But it don't mean a thing

A killer I'm not
Murderers get caught
If I'm such a criminal
Then take me away

Well I get so tired
Of the word on the wire
It's all so black and white
But how quickly it fades

We eat food for thought
And forget what we've got
She was a prisoner
Now I nearly am

Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away

Oh oh

Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away

Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

A child is born
A life begins
To take and hurt oh
A precious gift

When I'm alone
It all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much
When I'm alone
It all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

And the night gets further from the day
Take me to your Wendy House to play

[Repeat all]

When I'm alone it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

[Repeat 4 times]

And the night gets further from the day

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time
