Chantal Kreviazuk Album

I thought I had the right day but I was in the wrong place.
I tried to open a door but got it slammed in my face.
Iґm at the back of the line feels like eternity.

Well they tell me Iґm gettinґ close but I know Iґm still far.
You can dress me up but you canґt cover my scars.
Iґve become a professional at hide and seek.

Iґm a danger to myself.

I can take a wrong turn youґre right behind me.
Crash and burn I know youґll find me.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

I can call your name and youґll come running.
Itґs pouring rain youґll make it sunny.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

Want to be part of the cure but Iґm part of the disease.
I can chase butterflies but I get stung by the bees.
Sometimes I think too much forget my clarity.

I bought every self-help book that I could fit on the shelf.
Too many Downward Dogs they can be bad for your health.
I donґt know who I am so much for therapy.

Iґm a danger to myself.

I can take a wrong turn youґre right behind me.
Crash and burn I know youґll find me.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

I can call your name and youґll come running.
Itґs pouring rain youґll make it sunny.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

Iґm not the same old girl no.
I want a brand new world.

I can take a wrong turn youґre right behind me.
Crash and burn I know youґll find me.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

I can call your name and youґll come running.
Itґs pouring rain youґll make it sunny.
As long as youґre here Iґm invincible.

I thought I had the right day but I was in the wrong place.
I tried to open a door but got it slammed in my face.
Iґm at the back of the line feels like eternity

That was the sweetest song that I ever heard
Sometimes I feel we're just tryin' to steal
From the way that we once were
I'm not the kind of girl to throw the first stone
But this isn't fun, the damage is done
Don't know which way to turn

When half of me is ready to leave and half of me is you
You're the reason I'm alive, oh honey, you
And there's no way I can deny
All you inspire in me, I'm so inspired

It's not a perfect world, but it's the one we live in
But we get so spoiled and think we need more
Grass is greener with someone else, yes
Don't really think that I'm goin' out on a limb
If I say that you're the greatest chord that I ever hit

Half of me is ready to leave and half of me is you
You're the reason I'm alive, oh honey, you
And there's no way I can deny
All you inspire in me, I'm so inspired

I don't know what I'm doin' here
I don't know what I'm doin' here
But it's these times, oh, I've gotta trust
There's someone bigger than us

I don't know what I'm doin' here
I don't know what I'm doin' here
So I, I'll just trust

Oh honey, you, you're the reason I'm alive
Oh honey, you, and there's no way I can deny
All you inspire in me

Oh honey, you, and you're the reason I'm alive
Oh honey, you, and there's no way I can deny
All you inspire in me, I'm so inspired
I'm so inspired, so inspired

I close my eyes but I can't sleep again
There's static in my head
And the world outside is finally closin' in
I guess it is what it is

The sun still rises, those clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappear

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

I paid the rent, now all my money's spent
But I know where I am
And I'm satisfied 'cause I know I did my best
I always do my best

The sun still rises, the clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappear

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

Once I was afraid
My sorrows out on display
I'm not ashamed

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

In the end it makes no difference where we're from
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

I've thought of you for 5000 days
That's a long time, that's a big wave
I look in your eyes in search of the truth
There's some kind of heaven, maybe some proof

My link to the unknown, my connection
My hope, my hope, this isn't temporary

Did we have a clue when we started this
How far we'd get from just a kiss?
Oh, I have to trust so I don't lose my mind
The world we have built, we'll be leaving behind

My link to the unknown, my connection
My hope, my hope, this isn't temporary

So many vibrations weaving through my soul
Can't be my imagination
Did we have a clue when we started this
How far we'd get from just a kiss?

My hope, my hope, my hope, my hope
My hope, my hope, this isn't temporary

The sun hits your face, wide open space
Forest is bare, cut everywhere
There's no one around, just the faces in clouds
And the heart that's breaking

You're not exactly where you're supposed to be
But tomorrow don't allow for guarantee

So, today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

You're chasing the crowd, all twisted around
It's not what you lost, it's what you've found
Eyes of a child, it's getting harder to smile
You're an angel on these streets

You tell yourself you're not quite what you seem
But, one more chance and you will be redeemed

Oh, today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

I don't know what you mean
And I don't know what you need

You tell yourself you're not quite what you seem
But, one more chance and you will be redeemed

Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

Today, today, today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

The sky was gray for so long by
The time the sun came out
I didn't notice, I was too far gone

And now this building's not so high
And forever ain't so long
I don't remember, no, what went wrong

This is the way I'm feelin'
Can't take away what's real to me, no
This is the way I'm turnin'
So let me go and don't do anythin' at all

Sorry for how I drag you around
Up when you're down
And down when you're up
I should just cheer you on

Somewhere, there's your middle ground
You know you're there
Oh, when you've found your love
And then you're free

This is the way I'm feelin'
Can't take away what's real to me, no
This is the way I'm turnin'
So let me go and don't do anythin' at all, at all

Somewhere there's your middle ground
You know you're there
When you've found your love

This is the way I'm feelin'
Can't take away what's real to me, no
This is the way I'm turnin'
So let me go, don't do anythin', no

This is the way I'm feelin'
Can't take away what's real to me, no
This is the way I'm turnin'
So let me go, don't do anythin' at all

I feel so Plain Jane, I have no costume
I have no hairdo, limited attitude
But I can blend in with the best of 'em
Bring me a crowd and watch me get lost within

All the skies, all the nights
Every star, every moon's so bright
No more lies or disguise
This is me and it's genuine

I feel so Plain Jane, I have no costume
I have no hairdo, a limited attitude
But I can blend in with the best of 'em
Bring me a crowd and watch me get lost within

All the skies, all the nights
Every star, every moon is mine
No, no lies or disguise
This is me, it's paradise

Oh, my serenity, oh, my liberty
Oh, I paid my price
Oh, my sincerity, oh my humanity
Oh, it feels so nice

I feel so Plain Jane, I have no costume
I have no hairdo, limited attitude
But I can blend in with the best of 'em
Bring me a crowd and watch me get lost within

Come on, lay your body down
No, I won't let you down, won't disappoint you
And go to where you're turned around
Where the lost is found and I will join you

I'm transformed when I see you're at peace
Call it selfish, call it greed

I'll pick you up, I'll push you down
Be your devil, be your clown, say the word
I'll be your love, I'll be your hate
I'll take you now, I'll make you wait
Just say the word, say the word

Come on, lay your body down
No, I won't let you down, won't disappoint you
And go to where you're turned around
Where the lost is found and I will join you

I'm transformed when I see you're at peace
Call it selfish, call it greed

I'll pick you up, I'll push you down
Be your devil, be your clown, say the word
I'll be your love, I'll be your hate
I'll take you now, I'll make you wait
Just say the word

And it's hard to say, better put this way
Words are a disgrace
To your sovereign, I will humbly state
No one takes my place

Just say the word
I'll pick you up, I'll push you down
Be your devil, be your clown, just say the word
I'll be your love, I'll be your hate
I'll take you now, I'll make you wait
Just say the word

Say the word, say the word
Say the word, say the word

Have you seen a flame when it comes to life?
It was always waitin', it just needed a strike.
Have you got a match? 'Cause I'm lookin' to be lit.
Open up your stash, I'm a kerosene lamp.

I thought I told you I would need more than your average affection.

So, why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?
It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?
I'm too cold.

Across this moonlit room, I see the silhouette of a man
sleepin' all alone on the edge of the bed.
But, I am right here. Are you really that tired?
Now, would it really be so hard to come to my side?

Oh, I thought I told you I would need more than just sometime attention.

Why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?
It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?
Yeah, I'm too cold.

Has it been too long, am I just an old shoe?
When the trends are all gone, am I your go-to?
What did you see when you brought me in from the storm?
Our bed used to be so warm.

So, why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?
It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?
Yeah, it's too cold.

Why should I ever be cold? Never be cold.

I don't get what people do.
They lie and they cheat and they steal from you.
So I, I made my own world.
I'm not sayin' I'm perfect yet, I've got my share of regrets.
But I, I'm doin' my best.

You make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.
And you let me know that I'm not such a crazy girl.
All that it takes to make you happy, whatever you need to know
that you make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.

I know what some of 'em say. Let 'em talk, let 'em chip away.
You're not real without a broken heart.
Remember lyin' beneath the stars?
We could be on Earth or Mars.
I'm so good because I'm in your arms.

Oh, you make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.
And you let me know that I'm not such a crazy girl.
All that it takes to make you happy, whatever you need to know
that you make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.

When did we all get so distracted?
I think we've gone insane.

You make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.
And you let me know that I'm not such a crazy girl.
All that it takes to make you happy, whatever you need to know
that you make me feel like I've gone halfway around the world.

I don't get what people do.
They lie and they cheat and they steal from you.

Nalingi namona yo na miso
Nalingi namona yo na miso
But we are world away
Yes, we are world away

Nataka kuku kumbatiya alakini siwezi
Nataka kuku kumbatiya alakini siwezi
Cuz we are world away
Yes, we are world away

Nina ucungu sana yakuwa mbali na wewe
Nina ucungu sana yakuwa mbali na wewe
Because we are world away
Because we are world away

Nalingi namona yo na miso
Nalingi namona yo na miso
But we are world away
Yes, we are world away
