About Him 01:50
About Him It was a long time ago before you met me I was just nineteen barely out on my own when he came When I didn’t know my name How it began I don’t know We just held hands and we didn’t let go All those years ago But things are different now You don’t have to worry, should he come back around There’s no point in getting lost again when I’ve been found By you When I was a girl and he won me And the world turned around me And I learned to love with all breath and all my strength and all myself Until he left When I was just a girl Broken in the world Although I think of him from time to time Don’t think that I have changed my mind Tell me, could you ever leave yourself behind? He’s the why I love you I am just a girl And you’ve become my world
2.
The other day, the day we fought and then made up I wanted just to tell you To remind you What you mean to me I know I bite a bit and whine a lot And can be too much For one like you But what to do? Hey, hey, I’m in love You are my sweet honey pie Can’t remember what my life was like without you Oh you make me smile all day long That it’s so easy just to love I never knew When I’m all stressed out and lost my head You draw me a bath and throw me in You block the noise that’s comin’ in And you do it all with love When I’m surfing on my iPhone and you think it’s enough You intervene (OH NO!) A bit extreme (THE iPHONE!) But hey, we’re in love If at first you don’t succeed My mother said to me Try, try, try again Don’t let love slip away, cause you are my sweet honey pie Can’t remember what my life was like without you Oh you make me smile all day long That it’s so easy just to love I never knew Sweet, sweet, my sweet honey pie Can’t remember what my life was like without you Oh you make me smile all day long I’m so happy that I found someone like you
3.
Again 02:53
Again I wish I knew what keeps me up at night What hidden traumas keep my soul unsatisfied Can’t be you ‘cause it’s been years since that goodbye You’re forgotten Just some memory of mine Oh , here she comes again That old me that never wants to mend Oh, here comes the fall It’s like no time has passed at all Many years go by and suddenly you’re older You pass the days tryin’ not to look over your shoulder You think it’s done when you’ve found someone And then you find You’re a different you with a different view But time stood still inside But life goes on And for a time, you’ll be gone I’ll forget you for a while Till something reminds me of your smile Oh , here she comes again That old me that never wants to mend Oh, here comes the fall It’s like no time has passed at all I fall down

Smile Like Stephanie Tenney I knew a girl name Stephanie when I was just a teen She was the class misfit, though she thought she was prom queen She walked around the school à la vie en rose She was the “O” in original from head to her toes Life was hard for her at such an early age Yet she still dreamed ‘bout being an actress on the stage She was a little girl with massive dreams She hadn’t figured out that life isn’t what it seems When the clouds would start rolling in She would shut her eyes and let nobody in Who knew what Daddy did when the day was long ‘Cause she’d pop a cassette and all her problems would be gone Smile, oh Stephanie Tenney Close your eyes and raise your hands in the air Smile on, Stephanie Tenney And dance like you really don’t care Stephanie was sensitive, she wanted to be cool She cared what people thought at our stupid middle school They crucified denied her love that she deserved She almost died in a locker room ‘cause she didn’t know her worth Oh friend, I wish I’d been there for you Defending you from all you would go through Don’t think I didn’t stay ‘cause you weren’t worth the fight I just wanted to think that everything was alright Smiling Stephanie Tenney Closing your eyes with your hands in the air Smile on, oh Stephanie Tenney And pretend you really don’t care Steph, remember when we used to talk and talk About love eternal and all of that girl stuff? Gotta tell you girl, it’s not what we had thought Sometimes it still breaks down after giving it all you’ve got. I think I know, dear Stephanie, what you would say to me You’d say, “Shut up and step up! Don’t get lost in selfpity!” And now I’ll try to be the person you’d have been If you were here and life had finally let you win Oh Steph, it’s now been years since you’ve been here The world has changed, there’s more out there now to fear I know if you were me, you’d turn your walkman on Dance around, forget the world for as long as a pop chart song So I’ll smile like Stephanie Tenney Close my eyes and raise my hands in the air Then just smile like Stephanie Tenney And pretend I really don’t care So when you’re feeling lonely and the world’s a pulling you down Just remember my friend, the prom Queen without a crown Try to take each day as it comes to you If you can’t then this is what I suggest you should do: Smile like Stephanie Tenney Close your eyes and raise your hands in the air Then just smile like Stephanie Tenney And pretend that you really don’t care Smile my Stephanie Tenney Close your eyes and raise your hands in the air Then just smile oh Stephanie Tenney Oh my girl, wish you were here

Apathy Waltz 04:11

Alberta 05:17
Alberta I don’t know what to tell you It’s not like this is something new The last few years I’ve thought about where I belong I’ve walked many miles in different shoes Did everything that one should do To find the path towards my truth And found where I went wrong Don’t think I say this to hurt you I’m just trying to do what’s right Believe me, when I say I love you But it’s time to go Know that I will always miss you Every night and every day I love you more than I could ever say It’s just that I’ve been searching For a place that needs me It’s not that down there’s better But it’s where I’ve got to be I’ll think of you on lonely nights When the full moon’s on the rise Of your snowy coat of diamonds That gleam in winter’s sunrise I’ll close my eyes and remember Your great sky of unending blue I’ll take a breath and surrender To the beauty that is you But your mountains and golden prairies Your folks of gentle air Your turquoise lakes and rivers I’ll remember elsewhere And if by chance I can return It will be a joyous day For I love you more than I could ever say

I woke up this morning With an aching pain in my head My eyes were swollen and red Felt so tired, I wished I was dead I made myself a coffee Then turned my laptop on Watched a video online till dawn Another day, like that, was just gone Oh no! It’s happening a gain!I can’t make this addiction end! ‘Cause I’m an online junkie Need to get the buzz Need to see I’m Facebook liked And read I’m better than I was I’m an online junkie Need to get away From Stephen Colbert and Spider Solitaire Don’t want to meet my end this way I’ve been missing work But you know what they say Money ain’t jack when you’re watching Steve all day Gotta find a reason, To get me out of here My friends are calling me up Sayin’ I’ve just gotta stop I say, “I think it’s too late, my dear.” ‘Cause I’m an online junkie Need to get the buzz Need to see I’m Facebook liked And read I’m better than I was I’m an online junkie Need to get away From Stephen Colbert and Spider Solitaire Don’t want to meet my end this way
