Bottle of Wine Blackberry Blue Angela Me, The Fool Thoughts About You My Ego Chasing Metaphors Bad Neighbourhood We Love Bottle of Wine Written by Lauren Busheikin Copyright 2009 You poured me a glass of some cabernet Ten dollars from the liquor store across the way I parted my lips and took a sip You parted yours and started on our memory trip Back to cherry-topped sundaes on that summer day You were just about to leave but I begged you to stay Five minutes to make, five minutes gone Five years later and the flavour lingers on Chorus Here we sit with a bottle of wine Reminiscing as if we let the tapes rewind Not a moment spent second guessing our choices As the memories play to the sound of our voices Remember that December day we planned to go out But it was way too cold for us to even leave the house So we dreamed of breezy beaches lying on your bed And let the winter weather wither within our heads 'Cause all those times we talked of traveling to somewhere sunny Never went anywhere 'cause we had no money And as the honeymoon is coming soon I think it's funny That I'll never get to see you in trunks. Chorus I met your mom and dad when I had such a fever I shivered when I shook their hands they thought I was either About to lose my cool or perhaps I was a junkie But despite that, and even to this day, they still love me I still think about all those fights we had About something small but they got so bad Until we made up just by talking And we stayed up all night walking Through the reasons that the two of us should stay together And the things to do to make it through the nasty weather But you and I always knew the truth That you were never meant for me and I'm not meant for you Chorus Even though you told me I was free to crash on the couch I think it's better if I head 'er 'fore the sun comes out The bottle is empty and my throat is dry And there's not much left to say about "You and I" So goodbye to "You and I" 'cause now it's "Us" and "Them" Our lives are moving forward and we can't pretend We'll have time for each other like we did back then But we can still make time for nights like this again You know this meeting was to celebrate the end of a chapter And to mark the start of one happily-ever-after For the other what the future holds we just can't tell But if we knew, would we go through with it? It's just as well Chorus I can tell you're tired by the way you're blinking your eyes I think it's time for us to hug and say our goodbyes This meeting was to celebrate the end of a chapter And to mark the start of one happily-ever-after Blackberry Blue Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2008 Every time that we get together Someone phones and interrupts us whether We stay in or whether we go all out But that's just what this e-world's all about Imagine if we threw it all away And let our tech dependence end today I'd walk to work and to your house just to say "Hi" And if you weren't there I'd leave a note to say I stopped by It's not that I'm a luddite but I'd Like to think that if I should try I could live without technology That it's not the definition of me You ring me up to let me know what's going down Then I get lost while driving all over town A text from you will wake me up the next day But that's all right, don't need to sleep in anyway And then I wonder how my life would go If I was born a hundred years ago The soul of all the songs I sing would stay the same 'Cause love and hate and confusion are things that never change So express your love to me like this With ones and zeros; hugs and a kiss 'Cause every day there's something new Come with me where blackberries turn my tongue blue Blackberry blue Follow me into my fantasy To see how simple the real world can be Make believe and this dream will never end Or face the fact that we're still plugged in I watch TV with my phone in hand 'Cause I believe this e-world's not so bad So just before I snuggle into bed I check my facebook to see what you said You express your love to me like this With ones and zeros; hugs and a kiss 'Cause every day there's something new Come with me where blackberries turn my tongue blue Blackberry blue Blackberry blue Baby, come with me where blackberries turn my tongue blue! Angela Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2006 Her name is Angela The little silver lining in my tragic life The one good thing I did by giving her a life Just as mine was ending It was twenty years ago I didn't know much better but I guess it shows My mom spent three days crying Still I wouldn't change anything She wants a business degree She wants to travel Europe when she's twenty-three Her love for exploration, that, she got from me I wish that I could take her But you see when I was her age The story of my life was on a different page My husband had me living trapped inside a cage I needed to escape there She was just curious, she was just curious She needed to know why She didn't know me yet, please let me show her that I needed her to fly I met her family last week I thought that they would hate me but they seemed so sweet She's a small-claims lawyer, he's a business chief Their house was so pretty They showed me pictures of her Graduation, birthday parties, pictures of her Smiling, laughing, celebrating pictures with her Everyone seems so happy She was just curious, she was just curious She wanted to know why Now as I hold her hand I see she understands I needed her to fly Her name is Angela The little silver lining in my tragic life The one good thing I did by giving her a life When I gave her away Me, The Fool Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2010 When I found out how you took me for the fool I chose to play into the way that you think I put my hair up, I wore my make-up And I sang a song with a smile and a wink You always took me out on those fancy dates Drinking a hundred dollars down every time I didn't know then that all of your dough then Was funded by your double-dealing white collar crime My life of luxury was worth the cost of all the friends I lost They couldn't take the way I'd changed All their stares and glares couldn't phase me because they failed to see The careful plan that I'd arranged Chorus Though I suffered every time I took the looks As you and your association cooked the books Not that I ever thought that our love would fail Now it seems that I've got the means to send you straight to jail You'd send me out to buy myself pretty things Tell me to get something real sexy to wear You only wanted me to parade me and flaunt me So you and your boys could sit around and just stare Then when the years went by you started to fade How could I measure to your nickels and dimes? To all of your boys and all of your toys And to the younger girls with whom you spent all your time? So go ahead and talk your fancy talk to all your business flock The ones who studied hard in school I'll just sit here, yeah, they don't notice me 'cause I don't know a thing I'll play the part as me, the fool Chorus Though I suffered every time I took the looks As you and your association cooked the books Not that I ever thought that our love would fail Now it seems that I've got the means to send you straight to jail Now you say you wanna leave, well, baby that's alright with me I'll send you off with open arms: the cash, the kids, the cars, the keys, please That sad desperation in your eyes ain't gonna make me change my mind Let me spell it out for you one last time You pay or I talk, I stay and you walk. You got caught the life you bought is gone Don't you dare tell me I've got some nerve, this is the very least you deserve Chorus 'Cause I suffered every time I took the looks As you and your association cooked the books Not that I ever thought that our love would fail Now it seems that I've got the means to send you straight to jail 'Cause you broke my heart when you played me time and time It's fair that your lifetime savings are finally mine And it's all because you assumed I was too dense to see the truth But that's what you'll get any time you're gonna mess with me, the fool Thoughts About You Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2009 So disappointed in you You let me down again I've tried so hard to hate you But I love you and I love I gave you every last chance I showed you all of my hands I've tried so hard to hate you But I love you and I hate when I have Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you I hoped things would work out I disregarded my doubt I should just have ignored you But I trust you and I trust you While I tried to keep cool I came out as the fool I should never have believed you But I trust you and I trust you when I have Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you What can I say to convince me to just throw our past away What can I do? Every time that I think I'm over you I'm having Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you Thoughts about you So disappointed in you My Ego Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2003 Maybe it's my ego getting the best of me Or maybe I'm your hero and you just refuse to believe That I'm the best thing for you since pre-sliced cheese was to the grill Or that I'm the best thing for you since the automatic was to the kill Or maybe it's my ego getting the best of me Chasing Metaphors Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2010 How 'bout I start with a cliché "What goes around comes around" I'll say Pull my hair out to find a rhyme That I haven't used a thousand times While you take a stroll across the street To that little place where you like to eat You meet a man who lost his mom Pull out a pen and write a song I'm not implying that you don't work as hard It's just in this respect you know I'm not as smart As you when you do the thing you do I could spend all day listening to you See, I'm like the moon and you're the sun You don't need my help to get shit done You draw me in and I'm so completely yours Then you keep me chasing metaphors I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim Still you draw me in Now I recall everywhere I've been And everything I have ever seen There's not a face that I forget Not even the faces I regret But when I sit down to write a song All of those memories are gone It's like my mind goes out of town It's like my voice won't make a sound I'll take a walk or read a book or watch TV To try and work some thoughts and feelings out of me Then I find you wide awake and wired And I can tell that you're inspired Yeah, you saw a brightly coloured purse And damn if you got another verse You draw me in and I'm so completely yours Then you keep me chasing metaphors I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim Still you draw me in Baby, can I show you what I done As I bring you over to the bridge And like a proud papa with his son You put my messy picture up on the fridge Baby, can I show you what I done I wrote this song for you You love it and you take it to show every one What this little girl can do The patience and love you invest in me Consistently bring out the best in me Despite how it gets to the rest of me For you I'd give my all I know there are better words to use For what I am trying to say to you You come into my life and just like that You find them all in seconds flat You draw me in and I'm so completely yours See I am a moth and you're the flame The closer I get the worse the pain Then you keep me chasing metaphors I am the bun and you're the beef Your words leave me stunned in disbelief I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim Still you draw me You draw me Baby you draw me in Bad Neighbourhood Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2010 I'm waiting for the day to descend into dusk That's when I'll know where to find you 'Cause you told me once and I remember That you and your friends dig this joint for its proximity, familiarity Tonight I've paired my shiny shoes with my rosy shades; an ambitious hue, I know But I've got my lucky table by the bathroom door And I'm checking you out; you, diggin' the night so young Chorus But it's late and I ought to go home But it's a bad neighbourhood But nothing ever really happens But sometimes I wish it would Then you could be my saviour You could find me just in time I wouldn't need to give no gratitude You'd just see it in my eyes I can see you; see your face among the crowd And I can hear you; you know, when you're talking loud And I feel you even when you're passing through me And my skin still burns from your gaze when you're looking past me You know, you told me once and I remember How this was your haven where you could fly free And in my fantasy you're up in the air with me For now I sit and wait, sip my sweet escape Chorus My heart's racing as you cross the room my way 'Cause I know this time I'll have something good to say Because you told me once and I remember Or maybe it was a dream but I still believe Any night like this that you'll see me and you'll save me You know, I could be the one to rescue you If you're sad or if you're lonely I could be there for you Chorus When you'll be my saviour You will find me just in time And I'll be forever faithful And you'll be forever mine We Love Written by Lauren Busheikin copyright 2009 When I returned from traveling and met up with my packs You called to say you couldn't come but you would pitch in for a cab Secretly hoping I'd reject your generosity But I was so broke and overspent I happily agreed Got back to our apartment and could tell that I'd been gone Dishes piled miles high and the TV'd been left on Picked up your sweater and the smell of you sent me in a spin I paced the floor and waited for you to walk on in 'Cause we love, we sleep We work, we eat We kiss, we stare When you returned from doing whatever it is you do We hugged and we kissed you said "I missed you"; I said that I missed you too Then I rambled on about all the great things I got to see Until you decided you were bored and turned on the TV Sometimes I picture packing up and walking out the door Scrambling to find a place to live where I can scrape my heart up off the floor Sometimes I wonder, what am I to you? 'Cause you're just a boy that I can call when there's nothing else to do But we love, we sleep We work, we eat We kiss, we stare We hang onto what is no longer there We say "baby" 'cause there's nothing left to say We say "baby" 'cause there's nothing left to say We love, we sleep We work, we eat We kiss, we stare We hang onto what is no longer there |
