While You Can

i ain't no queen of hearts, i go through stages
i fall in love then complicate it
yeah, you know the feeling
w/out much hope just blind ambition
pretending that theres nothing missing
i always kept believing that...
more, i thought if i had more i wouldn't get so bored
but everything just left me empty
love walkin in and out of my door
wasn't good enough no more
well i dont trust myself life really sucks and...

[chorus]
first time i did it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

im just tryin to be creative
but everyones so oppinionated
wanna tell me what im feeling
cuz one man's junks another's treasure
when its done its hard to measure or keep on believing that...
more, if only i had more, i wouldnt get so bored
but i know its gonna leave me empty
life, walkin in and out of my door wasnt good enough no more
well i dont trust myself im gonna get stuck and...

[chorus]
first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

cuz i dont want to live my life wondering if only i woulda, i shoulda, i coulda... but i didnt cuz i only blame myself
again...

first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
so this time, this time, this time...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

[chorus]
first time i thought it but i didnt do it
last time, thats when i really blew it
this time im gonna do it different cuz i know, i know, i know...
if i put everything i have into it
eventually im gonna get whats good for me

[chorus fade til end]

Thinking that I want you,
And you know that I coulda got what I want,
Anybody feel that,
When you know,
But your heart lets it go 'til it's all gone,
It's not like I don't see it,
When it's coming on,
Still I feel like I don't belong

[CHORUS:]
The trouble with me is,
I'm the sum of the parts of something wild,
It's a little big thing,
And I know it,
The trouble with me,
Is I got the heart of nobody's child,
But I don't wanna be free,
That's the trouble with me

Thinking that you know me,
But it's just when you think that,
You know it,
You're wrong,
Wishing you could show me how to stay,
But I can't anyway,
Not this song,
Don't you know that I get weary,
I get so lonely but it's just no use at all

[CHORUS]

You try to make sense of it you try,
But it's not really me who's saying goodbye,
It's like I got some kinda split personality,
You know nothing ever gets control of me like this,
What can I do?

[CHORUS]

Thinking that I want you,
And you know that I coulda got what I want

Sometimes when you're lying beside me
In your eyes I see
I don't know but it's something it's something
And it's trippin' me up again
It's like you're here but you're not here
I need to know where
But you won't let me go there
Always telling me it's nothing it's nothing
Well I had a vision
Of a lover in my best friend
It's not like me to question

[Chorus]
Something always gets in between
It twists and it turns
You know that it seems to me
Latey I'm so unsure
I can't put my finger on it on it
Stange feeling ripping at the seams
And I've never heard the sound of my heart breaking
Like this before
Before there was always something

[Verse]
Think back on the days when
We were falling
It was so good then
Never worried 'bout a thing, no nothing
Well it's funny how things change
Now a cold wind is blowin'
And I was hoping it's not the start of a bitter end
Could it be that your something
Is someone else
Only time will tell
I thought I knew me so well
I shouldn't put me through this hell

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Something's always getting in between
And it's always rippin' at the seams
Something's always messing with my vision

[Chorus]

Please just let me stray,
Look the other way,
I gotta do this alone,
'Cause I'm the only one here,
Don't misunderstand,
You're the perfect man,
But I'm not ready to go,
And settle down with you,
So close your eyes,
Close your eyes

[CHORUS:]
I'm not who you think I am,
Let go, get out while you can,
Trust me, you don't,
You don't wanna see this,
I'll be trying everything,
Knee deep into anything,
Trust me, you don't
You don't wanna see this

I can't help myself,
I feel like someone else,
You're gonna thank me someday,
I'm saving you the heartache baby,
If you're still around,
While I'm slowing down,
I might follow you home,
But don't wait up for me,

[CHORUS]

Don't put up a fight,
Please don't kiss me goodnight,
This was hard enough to say,
No, you can't change my mind,
Don't even try it

[CHORUS]

Nothin' like walkig down Avenue A,
But it' not like any other day,
'Cause I feel you more than ever now,
Throwing me off somehow,
Nothin' like a girl with an attitude,
But take it all away she don't know what to do,
Now I got you in my fantasy,
Over and over, humbling me,

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Do the math,
It's meant to be,
But how can this be good for me,
If you never know where or when,

[CHORUS:]
I got,
Blindsided,
So used to seeing things my own way,
And I liked it,
But that just don't mean anything,
Now I'm blindsided,
You rocked my world I never saw it coming,
Got nowhere to hide,
And it's not fair

Well here's that other side of me,
Where I sneak into your room and watch you sleep,
And you bring out the high school in me,
I can't pay attention,
Give me detention,
Living in the moment just kills the time,
I wanna find you and make you mine,
My heart's a boombox beating all over town,
It goes bum bum, bum bum

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Add it up,
Can't you see,
If this is your way of getting through to me,
You're tripping me up again

[CHORUS]

I don't know what's come over me,
'Cause I feel so differently,

You got a way,
Of finding me,
Do the math,
It's meant to be,
If this is your way of getting through to me,
Well you're tripping me out again

[CHORUS x2]

There's no point in askin' why,
'Cause baby you're makin' me high,
Blindsided,
You rocked my world and I never saw it coming,
Got nowhere to hide,
And I like it

come and pull up a chair - i want you facin me
you're a long way from home now
you got your hand on my heart and it's pumpin to somethin stronger
can you feel it?
and it's me who will kick it and let it slide
what i need is to hit it
i can't let this pass me by

[chorus]
we both keep playin where we don't belong
cuz every time you keep turnin me on
we both believe what we want to
but way down deep we've known it all along
so we just keep on gettin it on

we're hangin out - i wanna play
and i'm goin crazy
cuz i'm hangin on and i can't wait for you
i wanna rock you baby...
and it's me who will keep it bottled up inside
i try to pretend but i can't help but feelin this vibe...

[chorus]
we both keep playin where we don't belong
cuz every time you keep turnin me on
we both believe what we want to
but way down deep we've known it all along
so we just keep on gettin it on
yeah we just keep on gettin it on
so we just keep on gettin it on, on, on.. yeah...

i'm slippin down and i'm sinkin fast
but i like it, i like it, i like it...

[chorus]
we both keep playin where we don't belong
cuz every time you keep on turnin me on
we both believe what we need to
but way down deep oh no no oh oh...

[chorus]
we both keep playin where we don't belong
