Album: Blurring The Edges Lyrics - Singles - Meredith Brooks

I Need 

I need some good luck, I need a best friend 

I need a rough dog, I need a mountain 

I need some new clothes, a tv, a cause 

A trip to nirvana, a thrill of applause 

I need a wet kiss, I need to confess 

I need a vision, religion 

The right to be silent, then to be heard 

A week on an island, a diet that works 

I need a dose of the bible, another course in survival 

Just talk about the essentials, to make me feel alive 

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please 

That's all I need, see how easy I am 

I need some money, more money and more time 

A strong cup of coffee, a haircut, a lifeline 

A stranger to trust me, my father to love me 

Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rungran 

I need a guitar, to do it on all fours 

Cool friends, weekend, and someone to die for 

When I'm alone on my couch, nothing can settle me down 

I'm adding on to my list, it makes me feel alive 

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please 

That's all I need, see how easy I am 

I need a guru, I need to chill 

I need a Mercedes 280SL, yeah, 

That'll fix it, I'll be complete 

I need a, I need, I need a 

That's all I need, see how easy I am to please 

That's all I need, and maybe then I'll be complete 

That's all I need, I'm not asking for everything 

That's all I need, see how easy I am

Bitch 

I hate the world today, your so good to me 

I know but I can't change 

Tried to tell you, but you look at me like 

Maybe I'm an angel underneath 

Innocent and sweet, yesterday I cried 

You must have been relieved to see the softer side 

I can understand how you can be confused, I don't envy you 

I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one 

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover 

I'm a child, I'm a mother 

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint 

I do not feel ashamed 

I'm your hell, I'm your dream 

I'm nothing in between 

You know you wouldn't want it any other way 

So take me as I am 

This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man 

Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous 

And I'm going to extremes 

Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing 

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover 

I'm a child, I'm a mother 

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint 

I do not feel ashamed 

I'm your hell, I'm your dream 

I'm nothing in between 

You know you wouldn't want it any other way 

Just when you think you've got me figured out 

The season is already changing 

I think it's cool you do what you do 

And don't try to save me 

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover 

I'm a child, I'm a mother 

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint 

I do not feel ashamed 

I'm your hell, I'm your dream 

I'm nothing in between 

You know you wouldn't want it any other way 

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease 

I'm a goddess on my knees 

When your hurt, when you suffer 

I'm your angel undercover 

I've been numb, I'm revived 

Can't say I'm not alive 

You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Somedays 

Somedays goes your way 

Your on a roll you can't explain 

And then it all goes down the drain 

Your cat is hit by a car 

The ATM eats your card 

Your wondering what changed from yesterday 

Save me from, from going mental 

Save me from just spinning out 

Somedays are better than others 

Somedays you just can't figure out 

Somedays you can't explain 

My best friend and me one night 

One drink a piece at Cresent Hive 

Just like that we end up in a fight 

Like a yo-yo up and down 

Your headed north, you end up south 

Save me from, from going mental 

Save me from just spinning out 

Somedays are better than others 

Somedays you just can't figure out 

Somedays are better than others 

You can't explain somedays, always, someday 

Save me from, from going mental 

Save me from just spinning out 

Somedays are better, somedays are never 

Somedays whatever, somedays are better than lovers 

Somedays you just can't figure out 

Somedays are better than others 

Somedays you just can't get out

Watched You Fall 

You were my world companion 

We were forever high, high, high 

We burn the night around us 

Sleeping could wait until we die 

You wear the scars of passion 

And since that crashing came 

You've broken every promise 

I walked away 

I watched you fall 

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya 

Everybody else who watched you fall 

Say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl 

It's such a weary feeling 

When you've been stealing from yourself 

Wishing the world away, blaming someone else 

No one can do this for you 

Straighten your head, fix your face 

Take all the pain inside you, wash it away 

Did I hear you? Did I try? 

Can I forgive myself for not standing by? 

I watched you fall 

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya 

Like everybody else who watched you fall 

Say they love you but they're laughing when you crawl 

I was blind to ya, was lying to ya 

Said I loved you but I'm laughing when you crawl 

Was blind to ya, I watched you fall 

And I watched you

Pollyanne 

Here we go again same old argument 

You're calling me Miss Pollyanne 

You see the world as cruel, and being mad is cool 

You think that I don't give a damn 

Ya don't have to shout to be heard 

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird 

I'd rather show ya signs of peace 

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see 

Oh, sentimental me 

Fist up in the air, mine used to be up there 

You only give yourself away 

So paint your roses black and blue 

Use the fuck word I can too 

When I have nothing else to say 

Ya don't have to shout to be heard 

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird 

I'd rather show ya signs of peace 

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see 

Oh, sentimental me 

Sentimental me 

Ya don't have to shout to be heard 

Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird 

I'd rather show ya signs of peace 

Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see 

Oh, sentimental me 

Sentimental me, sentimental me 

Here we go again, we may never change 

So you can call me Pollyanne 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Shatter 

Prick of the pin, no blood on me 

I've been tested, total wasted and too deep 

To the zone I retreat 

What doesn't kill you makes you strong eventually 

Blade to my skin, blurring the edge 

Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead 

I just breathe in, I just breathe out 

I've taken every hairpin curve by now 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack but it doesn't matter 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack 

Promise the world, dropped in a pool 

Was it fun? Did you enjoy acting so cool? 

Here's the thing, still have my head 

I stumbled hard but I'm not sleeping in your bed 

Saved by the son, no shame on me 

Come out screaming, it's the only time we're free 

I just breathe out, I just breathe in 

I'd ride the wave until I come again 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack but it doesn't matter 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

Cause I still have a secret 

In the dark I keep it closed 

I still have a secret no one knows 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

Destiny wasted over and over 

I may crack but it doesn't matter 

In the darkness I won't shatter 

Shake down just did in time 

It's amazing that I still 

I just breathe in, I just breathe out 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

Cause I still have a secret 

In the dark I keep it closed 

I still have a secret no one knows 

In the dark I keep it closed 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack but I'll never shatter 

I may crack

My Little Town 

We lock the doors at night, all the sirens scream 

I don't drive my car, insurance is too high 

I live here in the city, my home town is far away 

I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car 

The stars come out at night, to see them on the strip 

Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this 

I'll never leave the small town girl behind 

The place were I come from is with me all the time 

You could walk the streets when the sun goes down 

In my little town 

You don't need defenses when the sun goes down 

In my little town 

Back home on the street after ten at night 

Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on 

She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good heath 

You don't hear the harm when Mrs. Avery walks her dog 

All I every wanted was a view of city lights 

Break away from here, leave behind the quiet nights 

Spend half your life trying to make a change 

And the other half trying to get back again 

You could walk the streets when the sun goes down 

In my little town 

You don't need defenses when the sun goes down 

In my little town 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

What Would Happen 

Electricity, eye to eye 

Hey do I know you? I can't speak 

Stripped my senses on the spot 

I've never been defenseless 

I can't even make sense of this 

You speak and I don't hear a word 

What would happen if we kissed? 

Would your tongue slip past my lips? 

Would you run away? Would you stay? 

Or would I melt into you? 

Mouth to mouth, lust to lust 

Spontaneously combust 

The room is spinning out of control 

You act like you didn't notice, brushed my hand 

Forbidden fruit, ring on my finger 

Your such a moral moral man 

Would you throw it away? A question 

Will I pretend I'm innocent? 

What would happen if we kissed? 

Would your tongue slip past my lips? 

Would you run away? Would you stay? 

Or would I melt into you? 

Mouth to mouth, lust to lust 

Spontaneously combust 

What would happen if we kissed? 

I struggle with myself again 

Quickly the walls are crumbling 

Don't know if I can turn away 

What would happen if we kissed? 

Would your tongue slip past my lips? 

Would you run away? Would you stay? 

Or would I melt into you? 

Mouth to mouth 

Would your tongue slip past my lips? 

Would you run away? Would you stay? 

Or would I melt into you? 

Mouth to mouth 

If we kissed 

If we kissed 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

It Don't Get Better 

Woke up this morning with my head so heavy 

Thought about leaving on the next train coming 

Sometimes it gets so easy running from town to town 

But changing bed won't change this feeling that I'm going to drown 

Too many hearts are broken we're never asked why 

Too many sunsets are just passing us by 

Come over here don't be shy 

Do you want to be happy or you want to be right? 

It don't get much better than this 

There's nowhere left to run to 

No use worrying about what you missed 

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this 

We talk and talk and never know what it means 

It really doesn't matter because nothings ever what is seems 

All I ever wanted is here with you 

But sometimes I get wrapped up and confused 

So lets go down to the edge of the sand 

Take some time and take my hand 

So much here we don't understand 

So kiss me like the world is going to end 

It don't get much better than this 

There's nowhere left to run to 

No use worrying about what you missed 

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this 

Come on, come on take my hand 

It don't get much better than this 

There's nowhere left to run to 

No use worrying about what you missed 

Cause here it is baby it don't get better than this 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Birthday 

When is you birthday? What's your middle name? 

Who's your hero? What's your favorite flavor ice cream? 

Can you tell me? Tell me this 

Are you aries? Are you on the cusp of cancer? 

Going to get to know you better, what, no it's not a quiz 

You can trust me now, we'll dig a little deeper 

Let's trade numbers, let's trade beepers 

So I can find you anyplace 

Hey, why you looking at your watch? 

We haven't had desert 

It's early just 8:30, only our first date 

I wanna know do you love me yet? 

Do you feel the same? Am I your everything? 

I wanna know isn't true love great? 

Come on tell me, when's your birthday? 

Where ya going, why ya leaving? 

After all we've been through can't you think of me? 

I'll think of you, don't throw it all away 

I'll quit my job, have your children 

You'll work hard I'll spend your millions 

Hey, no pressure, you've got time 

Just don't make me wait 

I wanna know do you believe in fate? 

When your moving in, be my everything 

I wanna know we are for always 

Come on tell me, when's your birthday? 

When's your birthday? 

And it isn't just a ???? high 

I never felt this way about any other guy before 

I ain't getting any younger 

I ain't fooling anymore 

I wanna know do you love me yet? 

I wanna wear your ring, be your everything 

I wanna know isn't true love great? 

Come on tell me Come on tell me I wanna know do you believe in fate? 

Do you feel the same? be my everything 

Come on tell me 

When's your birthday? 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Stop 

It's seven in the morning and your walking out the door 

You got no time for coffee 

I'm starring here remembering when my kisses made you late 

Gonna take a minute for my morning meditation 

But I'm on the phone call... waiting... click... done 

Under an invasion I feel like 

I'm a spinning ball in a lottery cage 

If we aren't making love how can we be lovers? 

Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers 

Before it gets to late I'm gonna say 

Stop what you're doing and love me now 

I'm making my move come on and love me now 

I come home so tired just wanna put my feet up 

You watch Letterman and eat something old I heat up 

Then we both fall asleep before the rooster starts to crow 

No time to fight we pretend love is so sweet 

When all we're missing is what's between the sheets 

Used to find an hour between start and go 

What ever happened to staying up all night? 

When the bed became our island and it was just you and I 

Our troubles would slip away when we said 

Stop what you're doing and love me now 

I'm making my move come on and love me now 

Time... time... 

Time... time... time... 

Are we beating the time? 

Just you and I, magic ride 

If we aren't making love how can we be lovers? 

Gonna post a vacancy sign under the covers 

Before it gets to late I'm gonna say 

Stop what you're doing and love me now 

I'm making my move come on and love me now 

Stop what you're doing and love me now 

I'm making my move come on and love me now 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Wash my hands 

Washed my hands of crimes 

Pour the water over my skin, my spine 

Cleanse my soul and ease my mind 

I've been fixing all the damage done 

Why do I always forget how far I've come? 

I'm done dying for the past 

I'm done dying for the past 

Sins all forgiven now 

Let's call an even ???? 

Can't you judge me for my love 

And not mistakes I've made 

I swear by who I am and not by yesterday 

I'm done dying for the past 

I'm done dying for the last time 

The last time, the last time, the last time 

In between black and white I disappear 

Circled around the stone until I landed here 

I'm done dying for the past 

I'm done dying for the past 

I'm done dying 

I'm done for the last time 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
