songs for today

Cinderellas on her bedroom floor shes got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming dont come home anymore and she forgets why she came here.

Sleeping Beautys in a foul mood for shame she says
None for you dear prince, Im tired today.
Id rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

CHORUS
I dont care for your fairytale
Youre so worried ‘bout the maiden,
though you know shes only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause what else can you do
With seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says will you meet me at midnight.

The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
Ill have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows.

CHORUS
I dont care for your fairytale
Youre so worried ‘bout the maiden,
though you know shes only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, man made up a story
Said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that hes handsome in hindsight
but I dont want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls ‘round me
Cant take no more of your fairytale love

CHORUS
I dont care for your fairytale
Youre so worried bout the maiden,
though you know shes used to waiting spent her whole life being graded on the
sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
The story needs some mending and a better happy ending cause I dont want the next best thing no no I dont want the next best thing.

And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it’ll be ok,
yeah I try to believe you,
But I don’t

When you say that it’s gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today…

[Chorus:]
I don’t know how I’ll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow
I don’t know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
yeah, it’s a different day,

It’s always been up to you,
It’s turning around,
It’s up to me,
I’m gonna do what I have to do,
just don’t

Give me a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it’s not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today…

[Chorus:]
I don’t know how I’ll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow
I don’t know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow,tomorrow
its a different day

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I’m not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, I’m not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it’ll be ok,
Yeah I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today…
Tomorrow… it may change [4x]

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyways?
Would it change how you feel?
I am the mess you chose
The closet you can not close
The devil in you I suppose
Cause the wounds never heal
But everything changes if I could
turn back the years, if you could
learn to forgive me then I could
learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
in moments of disarray
succumbing to the games we play
to make sure that it’s real
But everything changes if I could
turn back the years, if you could
learn to forgive me then I could
learn to feel
When it’s just me and you
who knows what we could do
if we can just make it through
the toughest part of the day
Everything changes if I could
turn back the years if you could
learn to forgive me then I could
learn how to feel, then we could
stay here together and we could
conquer the world if we could
say that forever is more then just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
It wouldn’t change how you feel?

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

I know i’m not too much of a bargain
And you know that’s not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It’s up to you and me
And who’s to say
These could be the good old days
I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain’t bad
Little kids go out to play
They’re just happy it’s another day
It’s up to you and me
And who’s to say
These could be the good old days
I guess i could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good i’ve done
You’re not sure
Well that’s okay
‘cause i am
And i’m not afraid
It’s up to you and me
And who’s to say
These could be the good old days

When the rain breaks the road
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To your last good day
When the stone breaks the wheel
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
Til the stone rolls away
And I don’t know
Is this the part where you let go
And tumbling out of a window
Is this the part where you find out
I’m there for you
When the sun leaves the field
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To the last sweet light
When the flame leaves your eyes
I still see you there
I still see you there
On your darkest night
And I don’t know
Is this the part where you let go
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I’m there for you now
As your hand’s breaking free
I am holding on
I am holding on
As you’ve held on to me
And I don’t know
Is this the part where we let go
Tumbling out of a window
Is this the part you’re there for me
And I don’t know
Is this the part where you let go
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I’m there for you
You find out I’m there for you
You find out I’m there for you

Ain’t no talkin to this man
Ain’t no pretty other side
Ain’t no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that so
I’m gonna let him fly
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
But you can’t recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I’m gonna let him fly
There’s no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Of the choices we are given it’s no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain’t no talkin to this man
He’s been tryin to tell me so
It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that
I’m gonna let him fly
I’m gonna let him fly
I’m gonna let him fly

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you’re gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I’d been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I’m sorry, I know that’s a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window theres a face you know
Dont the nights pass slow
Dont the nights pass slow
The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But Im just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow
Let the air waves flow
Oh Im sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
Im just about a moonlight mile down the road
Im hiding sister and Im dreaming
Im riding down your moonlight mile
Im hiding baby and Im dreaming
Im riding down your moonlight mile
Im riding down your moonlight mile
Let it go now, come on up babe
Yeah, let it go now
Yeah, flow now baby
Yeah move on now yeah
Yeah, Im coming home
cause, Im just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Down the road, down the road
