Juliana Hatfield Album

Close my eyes again
I watch you run away
Put my heart on ice
It hurts like hell to have had better days
Up and over the sun
Not forever but higher than heaven
Now I go no one
And I'm dying from lack of love
And affection

Get in line, get in line, get in line
I'm giving myself away
Come on baby, kiss me

It doesn't really matter anyway
One more time
We're all gonna die someday
It's the one sure thing
With a question mark for an answer
Everybody sing
My feeling for you endures like cancer

Get in line, get in line, get in line
I'm giving myself away
Like a jaded ingenue
I tried so hard to get you out of my mind
But the lies I tell myself
They break down over time
Throwing rocks at clouds
To tear their silver linings
Knocking rainbows down
To keep myself from climbing

Get in line, get in line, get in line

Tonight we were going to go
I know
But Jamie's back in town
I'm not gonna answer the phone
I'm not home
Because Jamie's back in town

Jamie's back in town
I can't run into him
I don't want him to see me
On a binge
Na, na, na, na, na

I hate it when Jamie's back in town
I crawl into my cave
With bloodshot eyes
Little sugar pills to ease my mind
I could turn into a butterfly

Please let me know when he's gone
I'll come out
Until Jamie's back in town

She answers your questions
But everybody lies
You're not the only one
And it's not her first time
She lets you stay and then leaves
Like a midnight sun
When does she sleep?

You're just a tourist in her world
You want to capture her
But you can't find the words
You can touch her skin
But you're blind to the light within

And in the morning she pulls off her mask
Her brown eyes green
It's a private show
But everybody stares
She turns into a ghost
Of someone that you think you know
But you don't

A whippoorwill sings
And the morning brings
Sunshine and freedom
A beautiful day
I just couldn't stay
Inside love's prison

But some rainy Sunday
I'll wake from a dream
And wonder if you miss me
Some rainy Sunday
I'll see things your way
And wish that you were with me

Telephone calls
Just hit the wall
And you can't see my side
Tied up with you
In a manic mood
I just scream good-bye

Some rainy Sunday
I'll wake form a dream
And wonder if you miss me
Some rainy Sunday
I'll see my mistake

(Dot Allison Cover)

You're sailing away, to another shore
My heartache today, I can't tell you anymore

And I thought I saw your shadow in the street today
But that was yesterday, oh that was yesterday

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

Believe me I know it's been hard for you
There's never an easy way to let it go

And I thought I saw your jacket in my room today
But that was yesterday, oh was that yesterday?

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

And I dreamt that you were telling me you dreamt of me
But now I'm waking up, oh I think I'm waking up

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time

Red light
Red light
Go to green
Don't make me cry
Don't make me scream
And don't think I don't know
It's already 10:43

I could pray
Or toss and turn all night long
But it hurts
And I know no one that I know
Will see me here

Just one more then I'll quit forever
You're a secret
I try to hide
But people see it in my eyes
And in the way I can't concentrate

When I need you
I think I know how much I've thrown away
If I had you now
I think I'd be okay
I'm just letting go
So I can breathe

Just one more then I'll quit forever
Red light went to green
And now I don't feel anything
Don't think I don't know it's really bad for me
I can't live my life
You're dragging me down
My heart pounding
Is the only sound

If I wake up tomorrow
You'll be gone
Just one more
Then I'll quit forever
Forever
Forever
And ever

Baby I know you want to get high
Well I won't cry
If you get between my sheets
Maybe bleed on me
You can say you love me
Over and over again
I'll still be your friend
But I'm not down with the dirty dog

You can blow your smoke right in my face
And come three hours late
You can steal my concept
And drink my wine
And break my shades
You can flip me over from behind
That would be alright
But I'm not down with the dirty dog

I wanna see fears in your eyes
When I draw the line

Daddy dance with me
Too far gone to even speak
Neil Young on the radio
Four dead in Ohio

Daddy are you asleep?
Your son's a mess
And your daughter's a freak
And when you hit the road
This time it's a heavy load

We tried everything to get you back
Even sprung a junkie from rehab
I'll have another drink
If it makes you laugh
We'll try anything
Because we love you daddy

Michael and me
A long long time ago
We were a family
And I don't want to let you go
This life is all we know
We tried everything
To get you to laugh
Even put a monkey on my back

Have another drink
If it makes you sad
We'll try anything
Because we love you

Morning has come
Much too soon
He puts on his tie
And thinks of you

Singing in the shower
Dreaming of nights he's been missing
All of his life

Singing in the shower
No one can hear
He's been no one for forty years
He wanted to live like a rolling stone
With a beautiful wife
And city and country homes

Singing in the shower
He's off tonight
He's been no one all of his life
Singing in the shower
No one can hear
He's been waiting for forty years

Tears in his eyes
Washing away
Singing in the shower
No one can hear
He's been waiting for forty years
Singing in the shower
Got no stage fright

Turn it off
I don't want to dance
It sounds just like you
And he's got your hands
You're big in small circles
Maybe big in France
But my country just never game a damn

It should've been you
But a singer without a song
Who never realized the night is long
When you're sober and out of luck
They'll steal your best lines and your haircut
It should've been you

Lying here with my younger man
He's good-looking but he doesn't understand
That who I am is not my clothes or my car
He's got no soul
But he's a rock star

It should've been you
And I know I'm a fair-weather fuck
I only want you when you're on top
I'm afraid when I feel your love
I turned away
But I'm not better off

Everybody gets down sometimes
You get happy with a sugar buzz
White chocolate is your favorite drug
I go underneath the covers
There are things I do not understand
When I reach out will you slap my hand?

I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I have never been ecstatic
Had a flower but it never bloomed
In the darkness of my wasted youth
It was hiding in the shadows
Learning to become invisible
Uncover me

Weeping willow
I've been sleeping
I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
Waking up

Forgotten memories of
Laughter and war
That we lived through
And all the people that I never knew
I've been sleeping through
My life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I'm waking up

Hitting the wall
Do it all night
I can't resist
I put up a fight
End of the page
Turn it around
I say okay
Maybe I'm wrong
And everything means nothing
But I gotta believe in something

I'll buy anything
That you sell me
I'll believe whatever you tell me
Don't let me down
I need you now
When inspiration fades
Don't leave me now
Please show me how
And send me on my way

Looking for words at the end of the road
Under a rock
I want to grow
Some angel wings
You know what I mean
And when we fly
It isn't a dream

And everything means something
I don't want to believe in nothing
I'll believe whatever you tell me
Baby history can't help me
Don't let me down
I need you now
When inspiration fades
Don't leave me now
Please show me how

Put your ear next to my beating heart
Still alive
And if you pick me up in your arms
I'll give you one more chance
To try and knock me down again

If you want to stand me up on frozen ground
Go on take aim when I open my mouth

I still love my enemy
I still love my enemy

You appointed me the stoic one
Not allowed to cry these tears
But silence belies the pain
You pushed inside

Impossible to love
Is all that I know how to be
But in my heart
I keep repeating
You didn't mean to hate me

I still love my enemy
