LISA LOEB: SANDALWOOD



She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written,
'Cause she's never been in love with you before.

Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
Your hair falls soft like animals.
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes you.

I want to kiss the back of your neck,
The top of your spine where your hair hits, and gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep,
I'll talk you to sleep.

But I'll be the one, I will have chosen.

I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes you, I'm not the only one.

Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
You hair falls soft like animals,
And nothing else matters to me.

She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written,
'Cause she's never been in love with you before.

Your hand,
So hot,
Burns a hole in
My hand.
I wanted to show you.

THE BOY WHO TRAPPED THE SUN: COPPER DOWN



This ship's gone and run its course
Through a tired lack of force
And all that matters branded on your arm
So you don't forget how we first met
Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for my last breath
When you grow into you skin
I'll be the hope joining the wall
And all the scraps of world joined at the hand
Are there to hold you in our secret plan
Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for comfort
Fill in the blanks
Suddenly I hate this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for comfort
I hope I don't let anyone die
Fill in the blanks

EVERY AVENUE: BETWEEN YOU AND I



Would you believe me if I said I was sorry
The question wasn't mean to hurt,
It was just my fear of losing you.
And now you're filling all the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away underneath your bed
Where you gave yourself to me.
Where I gave myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Maybe it was wrong of me to think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
I want you to know that I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself to lie to you.
And since we're being honest, I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space between you and I

Between you and I, she could never compare to you
Between you and I, I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Where she gives herself to me.
Where I give myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place, oh...

Yeah...

Maybe it's all for the best,
I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Yeah the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
