"Undertow" lyrics
"Undertow"
Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want
Is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible
And it isn't something I need
'Til you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
It looks so good in your hands
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
'Cause old habits are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes
And I don't know why I must ask
For the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass
But I had bitten too soon
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
Now, given in, why fight it when
I'm resigned to simply live in your wake
Your wake
Heart breaks in a heart beat
You storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
No, no, no, no, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Couldn't let me go
Taking me away
Taking me away
Taking me away
Taking me away

Norah Jones - "Feelin' The Same Way" The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again...
Justin Nozuka - "Golden Train" Don't you wake up yet
Give me some time
To watch you asleep
Oh angel of mine
And I would be fine, as long as you're near me
Oh angel of mine But tomorrow if a golden train came to take you...
Erin McCarley - "Lovesick Mistake" Oh dear, what can I say?
I'm high here, up and spinning away
From a kiss of a thrill to be filled
Can someone hear me?
Love, what do you say?
Your mystery winds me up to be playful
Oh, here...
Kate Voegele - "Forever And Almost Always" So the story goes on down
The less traveled road
It's a variation on
The one I was told
And although it's not the same
It's awful close, yeah
In an ordinary fairy tale land
There's a promise...
Holly Brook - "Still Love" You drank a bit down
Spilled the rest of it in me
And that's the minute i let go
Your direction
With the bending of the light
If i remember it right
It carried on just fine
But tonight i will...
