Body Like Water

Roaming town, a troglodyte
Looking for the cheapest fix
For nothing, for no one
Desperation strikes midnight
Turning face and turning tricks
It's something for nothing
Another touch, another fuck
Cuz love is just a dirty lie
For the weak, for the lost
I'll find a stranger I can trust
I can pull through if I try
It's nothing for no one
And all the best girls are taken or queer
And sometimes, just sometimes, they are both
And I'm sick of waiting 'round, wasting all my beer
Guess I'm rolling down this crackpot road (a la mode)
Body like water
It tastes so good, I'll have another
Don't let me drink up too fast
I just want someone to love
Why does it matter where it's from?
I want it, I need it
Dripfeed me this sinful drug
Until I'm cold, until I'm numb
From something, to nothing
And all the best times I've had are in the past
There's nothing good in my future anymore
My beer's all run out and I'm getting sober fast
Time to hit these streets until I score (something more)
Body like water
It tastes so good, I'll have another
Don't let me drink up too fast
Body like water
It tastes so good, I'll have another
Don't let me drink up too fast

Here we go, the cycle spins again
You've blocked out the world for your boyfriend
And everyone can go to hell
You think that he really treats you well
Anyone can see that vice grip he has on you
He'll plug up your ears when confronted too
Well, to me he can go to hell
That bastard's got you in a dizzy spell
I'll snap every finger in front of your face
Bleeding out my passion all over the place
It sounds like I'm a simpleton
I've known you too long to let the demons win
Whatever I've gotta do to help you see straight
Whatever I need to do to help demonstrate
It's an understatement
It's an understatement to say how much you mean to me

My girl and I got into a fight
Got knocked down after just one right
Broken feelings, broken hearts
Caught her in bed with some dude
She said she thought I always knew
All deception, heart of cards
In one swift motion of pure heat
She tossed my belongings to the street
Passing traffic so tragic
Heavy sighs and screamed goodbyes
Hadn't noticed time flew on by
No direction, just panic
If I could go back 5 minutes...
Hitched a ride to get to work
Tried to sneak in, but it didn't work
Supervisor, he's waiting
Tried to explain why I was late
But I could tell the man's irate
It's all useless
Been through this
I've always had a losing streak
Of coming in on time each week
Swallow down lumps
Swallowed pride
Said I was fired as of right now
Security went to escort me out
Massive struggle
I buckled
If I could go back 5 minutes...
Today is not my lucky day
Here's to hoping things might change
Decided I would head back home
Some man distracted by his phone
Bad decision
Collision
Passerbys all swarmed to see
A posthumous part of the scene
It's all over
It's all done
If I could go back 5 minutes
Before I crossed the street
I'd pay attention to the world
Before it swept me off my feet
What a DRAG, this state I'm in
Who's cleaning up this mess?
Even in the afterlife,
I can't shake off this stress
Today is not my lucky day
Here's to hoping things might change

I Need You (In My Life)

The other day, I drove past the place we met
I remember it all like it was yesterday
A quiet girl with so much to say
And I wanted to hear it all
(For myself)
I wonder if you've ever gone back there
To sing on some new tunes you wrote
While you were feeling down, and
I wonder how may songs you wrote 'bout me
(I've gotta know)
Did you think of me as you were falling asleep
Have you ever thought that I was one to keep
I curse myself for never speaking up
I have to tell you how I really feel
I need you in my life, Jasmine
I've gotta hold you tight
And every second that you're away
I die a bit more inside
A voice as warm as cinnamon
With a smile so sunny bright
And I get so cold because I know
I'll never feel that warmness from you again
The other day, I drove past your old school
I've never been inside myself
But as I scan along the bricks
I can only imagine us walking 'round
(Hand in hand)
I wonder what you're doing with your life
Because it's probably better than mine!
Oh, what I'd give to kiss your lips and
Stand tall & proud, watching you walk down the aisle
(Into my arms)
Have you thought of me when all your cards were dealt?
Have you thought of me when you went to love yourself?
I curse my introverted ways
I have to tell you how I really feel
I need you in my life, Jasmine
I've gotta hold you tight
And every second that you're away
I die a bit more inside
A voice as warm as cinnamon
With a smile so sunny bright
And I get so cold because I know
I'll never feel that warmness from you again
[improvised singing]
I need you in my life, Jasmine
I've gotta hold you tight
And every second that you're away
I die a bit more inside
A voice as warm as cinnamon
With a smile so sunny bright
And I get so cold because I know
I'll never feel that warmness from you again
I need you in my life, Jasmine
I've gotta hold you tight
Your face is burned inside my brain
And It makes me want to cry
Sing to me in French, my dear
Tell me everything will be alright
Don't keep me cold, I need to know
If you love me like I love you tonight

Now I rest my head from such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness that had you on my mind
Those days are gone and now it seems as if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again and it puts my heart to the test
So, when are all my problems gonna end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder "will this ever end?"
I find it hard to keep control when you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all as if I'm just a friend to you
All I want to know right now is if you think about me too
So, when are all my problems gonna end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
So, when are all my problems gonna end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
