you don't understand me- raconteurs

You don't understand me
but if the feeling was right you might
comprehend me.
And why do you feel the need to tease me?
Why don't you turn it around,
it might be easier to please me.

And there's always another point of view,
A better way to do the things we do.
and how can you know me and I know you
if nothing is true?

What do you think that you are doing?
Who is the fool, the fool
or the fool that you are fooling?
And maybe I just don't see the reason
but in the core of my heart
your ignorance is treason.

And there's always another point of view.
A better way to do the things we do.
and how can you know me and I know you
if nothing is true?

You think you know how I feel.
It's not that big of a deal.
There's no such thing, it's not real.
Oh...

You don't understand me.
but if the feeling was right you might
comprehend me.
And I don't claim to understand you..
but I've been looking around
and I haven't found anybody like you..

And there's always another point of view..
a better way to do the things we do.
and how can you know me and I know you
if nothing is true?

i ache for you- ben lee

In the rain
I'm walking slowly
there's a light
in your apartmant
I don't know why
I ache for you

and it's alright if you're undecided or,
if you're scared that you might like it or
if it's true, I ache for you

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
you're the secret in the back of my skull
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull

it's getting late
anticipation
and if we talk
communication
and then you'll know
I ache for you

and yes sometimes it's just desire
another problem there you really don't want
but anyway, I ache for you.

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
I know the secret in the back of my skull
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets, it never gets dull

I ache for you.

I ache for you.

and I'm tired, of so much wanting
and what if, don't even think it
but why not.

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
put a secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull (it never gets dull)

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
you're the secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull (never gets dull)
but it never gets dull (never gets dull)
never gets dull
I ache for you

paper bag- fiona apple

I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on
Or something like that

I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew
Was a hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances were
Approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay put, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope

And I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void"
He said, "It's all in your head"
And I said, "So's everything'" but he didn't get it
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

academia- sia

you can be my alphabet and i will be your calculator
and together we'll work out on the escalator
i will time you as you run up the down
and you'll measure my footsteps as i blow through this town
the mean of our heights is divided by the nights
which is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights,
the pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
and the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it

oh academia you can't pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

i am a dash and you are a dot
when will you see that i am all that you've got
i'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
but to you i'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
i'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
that i still can't catch your eye?
you're a cryptic crossword, a song i've never heard
while i sit here drawing circles i'm afraid of being hurt

oh academia you can't pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

you're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on
it appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
it appears to me the pen has over analysed again
and if i am a number i'm infinity plus one
and if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
and if you are a number you're infinity plus one
and if i am four words then i am needing of your love

oh academia you can't pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

point: alanis.

i wonder if fergie can spell touché…

know now then- ani difranco

it's not so much that we got closer
it's that her face just got bigger
and by the time it was taking up my whole view
i figured my face had gotten bigger too
so i used it to try and sway her
say something to her
make my case
but my face
never had a chance
all along it was the wrong song and dance

i just stood there
without even a stance
helpless to her advance
and her retreat
backspace, delete

it wasn't so much that we fell in love as
my life just seemed to come down
to a slow walk on a straight line
between her smile and her frown
and maybe we never were as close
as we should have been
but i didn't know what i know now, then
yeah, i didn't know what i
know now, then

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.
