Rob Thomas Album

Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now

And by the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
Way down

Well she sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
Oh, but it don't feel right

Till by the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
And tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
Then she'll be all right
She'll be all right
Just not tonight

And she says ooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
But her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling

I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor (no more, no more, no more)
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor (no more, no more, no more)
Diamonds falling down

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Oh well oh well
I guess you got it all worked out so far
You just your reason
Until you see the light from where you are
You can never win
You can never lose
That's the worst part
You can only say what you want
Is where you are

You're beautiful girl
So won't you listen to me
I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Oh well oh well
It never took a lot to make this hard
You're so off balance
I know all the words to set you off
You can never win
You can never lose
That's the scorn part
Then you through your head back
And laugh at where we are

You're beautiful girl
So won't you listen to me
I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
So won't you listen to me
I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

You're beautiful girl
So won't you listen to me
I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
So won't you listen to me
I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Feelin' worn down, like a piece of glass
Doesn't take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies
Make them swallow them
You don't see just how you got into this situation

Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better
Than the secrets you keep, lay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Wide awake now
And your monkey's dead
You're so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down
You're among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and take and

Late at night, late at night
You weep but you're no better
Than the secrets you keep stay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
Pretend you'll never leave me

And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it’s good to be someone

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow

‘Cuz maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
We’ll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just to feel better now
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
Everybody else is smiling and their smiles don't fade
And you don't even wonder why you just don't think that way
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Take my hand
And I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can, ah yes I can
I can be there when you need it, I'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love

Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart,
And it's hard

Standing at the crossroads
But having all the answers, never helped me out no
All the better Boom shake, helps me awake
I need some coffee and maybe a shave
And it's a pretty bad way to start my today
Turn on the radio and what does he say?
He says, Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart,
And the stars

They were shining through the window
Yeah, feel a little moon glow
Kinda like a rainbow

All the better...Boom shake, now I'm awake
I think it's over but it's everyday
And it's a pretty fine mess I'm starting to make
I couldn't tell you I was never afraid
Sayin' Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart
Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart

Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart
Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I barely started now I'm falling apart
Ah, welcome to the real world
Ah, welcome to the real world
Ah, welcome to the real world

Fire on the mountain
Through the fields
Save yourself
There's evil in the garden
You don't see it
I can tell

How do you sleep while the city's burning?
Where do you go when you can't go home?
How do you drink when there's blood in the water?
Where do you turn when the world moves on?
When the world moves on
On

Fire on the mountain
You can feel it against your skin
You're standing by the river
Let the river take you in

How do you sleep while the city's burning?
Where do you go when you can't go home?
How do you drink when there's blood in the water?
Where do you turn when the world moves on?
When the world moves on
When the world moves on
On

I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby take it down to the water
I feel the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther
I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby take it down to the water
I feel the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther

How do you sleep while the city's burning?
Where do you go when you can't go home?
How do you drink when there's blood in the water?
Where do you turn when the world moves on?
When the world moves on
When the world moves on
On

You're the best thing I ever knew
You'll do everything that I can't do
Sometimes I get lost in my blue
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

All right

You and me got so much to prove
You're the only thing that I can't lose
The nights are peaceful here in our room
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

Cause I didn't mean to, didn't mean what I said
All the things I said to you
But maybe the worst is the best I can do
With you
And I never want you to go , but I know
How the mood it waits too slow
And I fall apart cause it's all that I know

I know

I know

Yeah I know

Yeah your running now baby blue
Please don't let it take me far from you
I've been restless, I've been a fool
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

I should have never let you go
Always another
I need this more then you will know
But there's always another

A million byways and highways
And there's always another
Someone else to pay your way to try and take your innocence
There's always heartbreak

I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down
But I still ain't over you
I been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now, I still ain't over you, oh no

I keep your letters by my bed
And there's always another
I hear your voice inside my head
And there's always another

A waste of time, wasted our days
And there's always another
Someone else to make you suffer
Make you think this whole thing over

I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down
But I still ain't over you
I been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now, I still ain't over you
Still ain't over you
Breaking me down, still ain't over you
And I got nothing to lose man
And I still ain't over you

I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down
But I still ain't over you
I been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now, I still ain't over you
I ain't over you
I been sleeping around, but I still ain't over you
I got nothing to lose, but oh no, oh no
I still ain't over you

This is the not the night I promised you before
I can feel them running chains around our door
And I'm coming to the end of what I'm for
Well I will pull myself together, I am sure

I will run from you until I start to drop
I will breathe your breath until you tell me stop
We will see the ending, of another sunny day
And we will (weigh it back??) until the next one drops

Are we all just sitting here, waiting on the end
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces til we find ourselves again
Like it's only natural, it's only natural

This is the not the way we wanted this to be
And I can feel the doubt inside of me
We're standing on the edge of everything we've ever seen
And everything we're never meant to be

Are we all just sitting here, waiting on the end
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces til we find ourselves again
Like it's only natural, it's only natural

And when you think it's over
IT STARTS COMIN ROUND AGAIN!
It's coming around again
And when you think it's figured out
It starts coming around again
It's coming around again, it's coming around again

Are we all just sitting here, waiting on the end
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces til we find ourselves again
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
It's only natural

I think we're snowblind
We've had a hard time
And we can't see where we are
Spending our whole lives walking the same lines
And it doesn't seem to stop

This is our life
It's all that we get
The days are all numbered
And the nights are all spent
Losing our focus
We're starting to drag
We're running in circles
And we start to feel bad

But it don't mean that this ain't right
We just both need a little more time

He's taking my throat
You're melting my hands
You cause me to wonder as much as i can
I feel it all over
It's starting to lack
Were spinning our wheels so hard
It's hard to turn back

Oh, but when the night falls down on this place
I will be the one to hold you
When the tears run down your face

I think we're snowblind
We've had a hard time
And it doesn't seem to stop

Look at me I'm made of wonderful
Wonderful
I'm all easy breath and steady walk
Steady walking
But underneath I'm barely moving, no
It's like I'm nothing
All the ways they have to make me smile and then they go and break me

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then?

Look at me, I'm made of wonderful
It's terrible
I'm all easy come and easy go
As far as you know
But underneath, man, I'm just killing time
I guess I'm past my prime
And now I'm overrated, overdressed, and overstated

If I put my hands up, put your hands up
If I fall down
If I lose my place
And I dont know just where im supposed to go
Or if you'll be there when I wake
Would you love me then?

And I come home tired
And I come home late
Everybody wants me
So I give it away
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man

Would you love me then?

Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
We can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Ah honey we'll be OK

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place were they belong
Like a favorite song
And I don't want to be a faded memory
I don't want to be the ghost that you cant shake
I want to be the real thing

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

Yeah all night long

Yeah all night long

Ooohhhh

Ohhhhhh

Ohhhhh

No one said we were victims honey
No one said we had to keep the things we get
There ain't no regrets
And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that desperate yet

Oh no
Ain't nothing like the real thing

The world can be so cruel
Well let me sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

This cradle song
This cradle song

Yeah all night long

Sing it all night long

Yeah all night long

Sing it all night long

Yeah yeah

All night long

This life keeps moving on
Gone away before too long
So tell your friends just how you feel
You'd better say it loud for the world to hear

'Cause it's getting late, it's time to go
The paper moon is fading slow
But the night, it keeps moving on
'Till it takes you in, it brings you home

While you're watching over the moments that make up your life

It's getting late that's the way it is
You cant deny when it feels like this
And it's strange whats it's bringing out
You're gonna open up, 'cause you cant stop now

It's getting late, you don't know how
You're wide awake, but you're missing out
You get your kicks while you can
Then you go to work to pay the man

While you're watching over the moments that make up your life
It's getting late

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain

You say we're better off not knowing
if we cannot save a life
somebody said there's a new day coming
however it don't feel right
and we wear all these scars
because we got no imagination
and which way these lies
for any feeling we can ever know

all I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss
all I can do is try to live my life
but I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
I don't wanna lose everything, no
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
the war is over. oh, but it ain't over

you say you judge them by their color
but what you cannot say is why
is it too hard just to love one another
where do we take this life
and we wear all these scars
they say they got no destination
and from where we are
it seems we're never gonna make it home

and all I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss
all I can do is try to live my life
but I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
I don't wanna lose everything, no
I just wanna sleep til the war is over

I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
I don't wanna lose everything, no
I just wanna sleep til the war is -- sleep til the war is over

all I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss
all I can do is try to close my eyes
'cause I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
I don't wanna lose everything, no
I just wanna sleep til the war is over

I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing
hell, I just wanna sleep til the war is over
I don't wanna lose everything, no
I just wanna sleep til the war is over
the war is over...

You better wake up
It's been a long long time
You better watch out
There's gonna steal you blind
And it's a long way
No matter where you are

So tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far
Just tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far

Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe, believe

They're gonna love you
When they see you all alone
You gotta new face, with the same old scars

So tell me how you're gonna get that far
Tell me how you're gonna get that far, oh
Just tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far

Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands

Stop turning it away
Start turning it around

Stop turning it away
Start turning it around
We must, believe
Stop turning it away
Start turning it around, now

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe, believe
We must believe
We must believe

Right now your very young
And the world is at your feet
Pretty girls are calling you
And they all sound so sweet
Right now it's all the time
Yeah everything is new
Start taking it for granted boy
Cause they're taking it from you

And years from now
Your gonna feel so bad
But you'll turn and walk away
The way you always have
Years from now

Right now you got your pride
There's nothing left to learn
Pretty soon the night will fall
So be careful who you burn

Right now it's getting late
Time to touch your faith
Give it what you need
It wasn't suppose to be this real
Just tell me how you feel
And then tell me how you'll feel about it babe

Years from now
Your gonna feel so bad
But you'll turn and walk away
The way you always have
Years from now

And years from now
Your gonna feel so bad
But you'll turn and walk away
The way you always have
Years from now

Oh years from now
Years from now

She was like an angel to me,
she had the smile that could light up my nights
for all of my life

Now I don't [wear the?] damn about her
now I don't care and I just don't know why
she needed my lies

I know every little thing I ever said to her will never be undone
every time I think of her I wonder if she could have been the one
And it could take some time, it could take some time
in the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well
Oh, well

I don't want to be her daddy
I don't want to be there when she just breaks down
she won't drag me down

One night and thinks she knows me
one night and she thinks she owns me
Oh well, you never can tell

I know every little thing I ever said to her will never be undone, oh
every time I think of her I wonder if she could have been the one
But it could take some time, it could take some time
in the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well
It could take some time, it could take some time
In the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well

Don't we lust for the better life anyway
Don't feel sad, yeah don't feel anything
Hearts get broke when a promise gets made
I don't ever want for you to feel that way,
Oh ye-ah

lead break

And it could take some time, it could take some time
In the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well
it could take some time, yeah, it could take some time
in the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well
Oh well, in the end I hope I'll be Remembered Well

Oh well.

It's late in the afternoon
And you're alone in your hotel room
Alright, oh well
It's hard, I can tell

Your circling photographs
Well some things can never last
Alright, Oh well
It's hard, I can tell

So you go, as far as you can go
So nobody knows who you are
Your wasting away but it feels good so far
I Know, it's hard to bear this
Life ain't fair we're always overrun
And I can't take this
Always overrun

Well don't let em get to you
You've seen what the worst can do
Alright, Oh well
Now it's hard, I can tell

So if you go, as far as I can tell
The world never leaves you alone
Sooner or later you always come home
I Know, it's hard to bear this
Life ain't fair we're always overrun
And I can't take this
Always overrun

Alright, oh well
Alright, oh well
Alright, alright
Well alright

Life ain't fair we're always overrun
And I can't take this
Always overrun
Overrun

Always, I'm always overrun
Always overrun
Overrun
Yeah
