I wanna be misunderstood
Or so my therapist says.
I wanna be living like I should
God Damn what everyone says
Or I could be living the good life
Take a trip out to the country,
then come home to the Upper East Side
Oh Lord, give me a good wife
I’ll be out working 9 to 5,
home for dinner almost every night
I wanna be forgotten
Just like Julian said
And I don’t wanna be reminded
Of the things that I did
I hopped on a plane, you’ll never see me again
But when I get off the plane I wanna be your friend
(Thought you ought to know)
That I went all the way out to Tokyo
Got a lot of nice places, but you’ll find me at Sushiro
When you go, promise me this one thing
Wherever you go, you will make it your own

Saiko!

When I think of you
I think of the good in your heart, the good in what you do
And being around you
feels like I’m doing the very thing that I want to do
Staying up with you
and you fall asleep in my arms, watching TV
Yeah I like it when you sleep in my bed
Cuz when I wake up, I know you’re with me
And I go,
Oh, saiko da
And I say
Oh, saiko da
You lift me up,
you hear me out, you help me when I come to you
Yes I believe it’s true,
and when I think of good times, I owe them all to you
And I go,
Oh, saiko da
And I say,
Oh, saiko da
Coming round with good intention
Some other people, well they come and they go
But you’ve been around from the moment I met you
This feeling I’m getting from you, I call it saiko, it’s the best!
Coming round with good intention
Some other people, well they come and they go
I’ll be around, I knew it the moment that I met you
This feeling you’re giving me, well I call it saiko, it’s the best!
Woah it’s the best!
Woah it’s the best!

Long Live the King
04:15

They called me king, they called me courageous and powerful
They called me their king they looked to me in their hour of need
Was it wrong of them to call me their king?
Once I was king, just like my father before me
World on a string, I’ll show you power, I’ll bring us glory
All I ask of you is to love and adore me
All hail the king, my subjects they called out to greet me
They came from their fields, abiding the codes of my cruelty
Take my hand, I’ll be your shield be your guardian
When I was king, dangerous men came to meet me
They brought me gold things, kissed my ring, spoke to me sweetly
How was I to know they could see right through me?
The crown does not make the king
And all through the day, I heard them all sing
Long live the king
So I’ll take my time by the oceanside
Where I’ll sit for awhile and dream
When the night comes lately
I’ve been losing sleep
How can I face the storm?
If I tried harder maybe
It would bring me peace
Or would it bring you harm?
When the night comes baby
I’ll be yours to keep
For heaven’s in your arms

Oh, You Know
04:00

Oh, you know how the wind does blow
And oh, you it’s funny how sometimes
Things that are lost in our hearts
Can get found anytime
And oh, you know how the seasons do change
The seasons they come the hearts rearrange
And it feels like I’m lost on you
Are you feeling it too?
But oh, the waves of a lifetime
Well they pull and let go and they
Take what you wanted to hide
We move on, but it makes me so tired
Patiently now, wait for me I’ll be along
Oh, you know how the winter brings snow
It’s terribly cold, so tell me where do you go
When the wind cuts right through
And can I be there with you?
For always, I told you this love was for always
I told you that I’d wait for you always
I’d wait for you, so wait for me
Tell me the one that you want me to be
I told you to count on me, I’ll be the one with your secrets
Yes, I’ll be the one with your secrets
God how I love telling you secrets
Oh, secrets
Oh, you know the perilous road
It shapes how we grow
So as I come into my own
Am I lost on you?

Called My Sister
04:48
|

|
I call on wings of a dove for to fly (through the sky)
And I call on currents of love for to carry me home
Who can carry me home when it’s time (when it’s time)
You’re calling out for someone
But if that’s the way you’d like to be is alone
But when the journey’s unkind, that’s when I find
I’d never make it far without your love
Well you know
I called my sister
Wanted to tell her that I miss her
cause you know it’s been too long
I called my Dad
Yeah I know he won’t be mad
You know I want to be him so bad
I called my mother
No I can’t count on any other
When I’ve done something wrong
And I said my, what a lucky guy
What a lucky guy
So, when it feels right
Who can take me home?
So when you say my name
I hope you feel this way
Play it in C
Remember me smiling always
I feel the need to apologize for not being around
You’re calling out for someone
But if that’s the way you’d like to be is alone
And you know I was wrong
But for you and me you let it go
Well you know
I called my sister
Wanted to tell her that I miss her
cause you know it’s been too long
I called my Dad
Yeah I know he won’t be mad
You know I want to be him so bad
I called my mother
No I can’t count on any other
When I’ve done something wrong
And I said my, what a lucky guy
What a lucky guy

Big Time

We were on the balcony
You were standing next to me
When you took my heart
You were such a good friend
Only everyone could see
That we were bound to start
Though no one compares to you
I wasn’t there for you
You think I don’t care
But I was on the balcony
And it was 7:43
That’s when we fell apart
Na na na na na
You belong with me
I fucked it up big time
I gotta hear you say
All I really wanna do
Is be in love, be in love, be in love, be in love again with you
All I really wanna do
Is be in love, be in love, be in love, be in love again with you
No I don’t want to be another number
No I don’t want to be
The victim of another love grown cold
No matter how far we’re apart
You take my heart
(Oh take me anywhere you are)
Because I knew from the start
To you I’d never want to say goodbye
But I let you go
I had to let you go
Na na na na na na
You belong with me
I fucked it up big time
I gotta hear you say
All I really wanna do
Is be in love, be in love, be in love, be in love again with you
All I really wanna do
Is be in love, be in love, be in love, be in love again with you
All I really wanna do
Is be in love be in love be in love be in love
But I’ll never no I’ll never no I’ll never be enough no
All I really wanna do
Is be in love, be in love, be in love, be in love again with you

Please Don't Die
04:22

Do you remember what it felt like
to be twenty and in love?
I think about it when I’m online
and I’m drunk and tired and alone.
Reliving heartbreak city tonight
it’s an old episode, it’s a rerun night.
And when I watch, it makes me feel alright,
but I know how this one goes.
And now I want to cry
only sometimes when I think of you.
Please don’t die
no matter how many times that I wish you would.
Hot-headed, but I don’t regret it.
I could see it in your eyes and I know you felt it.
There were long days with the friends that know me,
waiting for the nights, oh the things you’d show me.
Like my life is a melody
that was played out by the choirs above
Carefully crafted reveries
that could not amount to us.
And now I want to cry
only sometimes when I think of you.
Please don’t die
no matter how many times that I wish you would.
I’ve been on this road before
I got lost right here before
Oh, how I long for before
Oh my god, is it really this heavy?
Because I was bound to let you go.
Think about it, was I really quite ready to be anything more?
Do you remember what it felt like
to be nothing more than young?
What I remember is how you tore my heart out
and tossed it when you were done.
And now I want to cry
only sometimes when I think of you.
Please don’t die
no matter how many times that I wish you would.
You never cared for a thing we did
Never listened to a word I said
Fast-forward seven years you’re married with a kid
I only saw it now on Facebook that you did
Funny, your husband, he looks just like me
Is he the kind of guy who makes lots of money?
Don’t really care— oh, is he good in bed?
Looks like I’m totally over you
(I’m not over you)
