...and out like a lion

con·tam·i·nate

to make impure or unclean by contact or mixture.




there was a time that i had nothing to explain
oh, this mess i have made
but then things got complicated
my innocence has all but faded
oh, this mess i have made

and i don't believe in god
so i can't be saved
all alone as i've learned to be
in this mess i have made

all the untested virtue
the things i said i'd never do
least of all to you

i know he's kind and true
Iiknow that he is good to you
he'll never care for you more than i do

but i don't believe in love
so i can't be tamed
all alone as i've learned to be
in this mess
i have made the same mistakes
over and over again

there are rooms in this house that i don't open any more
dusty books and pictures on the floor

that she will never see
she'll never see that part of me
i want to be for her
what i could never be for you

and i don't believe in god
so i can't be saved
all alone as i've learned to be
in this mess i have made

mess - ben folds five




the farther i come the farther i fall
whatever i knew it was nothing at all
nothing at all, just making me small
smaller and smaller
i fall back

sooner or later with a view from the ground
chasing the race and the races run you down
sooner or later with a view from the ground
and a tear in your eye
you say baby why can’t we fly
into the blue sky
high
into the blue sky

be my singing lesson
be my song
when i tell you i'm falling
you tell me i'm strong
the trees have grown tall
the birds have flown high
higher and higher
goodbye goodbye goodbye
i'll fly over a rainbow
i'll be sun kissed
sail around the planet venus
and send a long letter
way back home
that says all that i know
all that i know is the blue sky
high in the blue sky

the farther i come the farther i fall
whatever i knew it was nothing at all
trees have grown tall, the birds have flown high
higher and higher
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

blue sky - patty griffin




i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. i'm a fucker.
