the juliana theory - don't push love away

Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen. I only tell the
truth of the feelings I'm given. Can you hear me now? Listen.
Whispers in the rain. Listen. Don't push love away, you know
you do. It's all we have. It's a chore holding onto a vision.
Don't leave her high and dry. She's the one you'll be missing.
Can you hear me now? Listen. Whispers in the rain, while you're
awake. Don't push love away, you know you do. It's all we have.
I hate to think hesitation is a burden. A bittersweet design
for a lesson you're learning. She's crying. Can you feel me
now this time? Whispers in the rain, lying awake. Don't push
love away, you know you do. It's all we have.
Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen.

fast as you can- fiona apple

i let the beast in too soon, i dont know how to live
without my hand on his throat; i fight him always & still
o darling, its so sweet, you think you know how crazy
how crazy i am
you say you dont spook easy, you wont go, but i know
and i pray that you will
fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me
fast as you can

i may be soft in your palm but i'll soon grow
hungry for a fight, and i will not let you win
my pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
disprove your faith in man
so if you catch me trying to find my way into your
heart from under your skin
fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
fast as you can
fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
fast as you can

sometimes my mind dont shake and shift
but most of the time, it does
and i get to the place where i'm begging for a lift
or i'll drown in the wonders and the was
and i'll be your girl, if you say its a gift
and you give me some more of your drugs
yeah, i'll be your pet, if you just tell me its a gift
cuz i'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
just need a little because, because

i let the beast in and then;
i even tried forgiving him, but its too soon
so i'll fight again, again, again, again, again.
and for a little while more, i'll soar the
uneven wind, complain and blame
the sterile land
but if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
i'm blooming within
fast as you can, baby wait watch me, i'll be out
fast as i can, maybe late, but at least about
fast as you can leave me, let this thing
run its route

sitting, waiting, wishing- jack johnson

I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you would see the signs
But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the lord no I’m just a fool
Learning loving somebody
Don’t make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn’t worth never having you
Maybe you’ve been through this before
But it’s my first time so please ignore
The next few lines because they’re directed at you
I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it’s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I’ve had enough mystery
You keep building it up
But then you’re shooting me down
But I’m already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I’d put down all my ammunition
I’d wonder why it had taken me so long
But lord knows that I’m not you
And if I was I wouldn’t be so cruel
Because waiting on love
Ain’t so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
