Lil Marie says "all I wanted
Was for you to love a kid
Don't mind the years
I'm still a child"
Lil Marie she packs a suitcase
And then she's off to the races
And she races past
Everyone
And she takes the wheel to run
Feeling like a loaded gun
Lil Marie she's on her own
She goes faster than the wind
Off to find a foreign land
Turns out foreign felt
A lot like home.
Lil Marie says if I were
A bit more pretty, bit more clever
Would you be
Proud then ?
They never told me at the door
Getting love was waging war
One you'd never
Let me win
Lil Marie she's off again
But this time it's raining
And the road feels
Pretty wet
As the car slips off the track
Lil Marie takes it all back
Thinking "well,
It's what you get."
Marie says "I understand
You were kids before I came
Who am I to call
Your bluff?
I know you didn't get the life
That you always thought you might
That must've been
Quite rough."
"But all I wanted was to know
For the light in your eye to show
No matter what,
I'm your baby
I don't blame you for this mess
So don't put me to the test
Love never works as well
With 'maybe'"

I Don't Want Trouble

There's one thing I know
And I know quite well
How to make it snow
Rain on my parade
Cause really I was fine
Before I looked up her name
Hair longer than mine
And probably less insane
I don't want trouble
Don't even wish that you were mine
And ours is the classic fable
We didn't make it though we tried
Sure I get with boys but
Really they're no fun
I know I'll find someone, someday
That day's yet to come
But this is just a feeling
Now I'm familiar
It's not you I'm missing
It's how things were
I don't want trouble
Still haven't called you and I won't
But when one loves another
It's what you've got and that I don't
Let's leave this all here before
I reach out too far
Before I pull on your sleeve, a little,
Get you in the car
I'd drive enough I know
To get you out of here
But's it's where you live now
And it's Happy Without Me
The worst part of this is
I wish you the best
I hardly ever missed you
Until you found someone else
And missing is alright
I hope you hold her hand
I guess I found a way to love you
In the end
I don't want trouble
Don't even wish that you were mine
At times I still feel miserable
Sometimes it's not enough to try
Sometimes it's not enough to try.

Holding,
You're holding your breaths in
I've seen you do that before,
Now you're at it again.
I'm lying,
The truth is a kiss,
I always thought I was above it all
But I'm under this.
Have you started giving out
Memos for our goodbyes
They're all dated for the
Thirty second of July
You're folding,
Because there's no way you'll win,
The cards have been dealt to your hand
But you're missing the Kings,
And if leaving you, darling,
Means dying alone,
Tell me you'll miss me somehow,
And I'm already gone.
But have you started giving out
Memos for our goodbyes
They're all dated for the
Thirty second of July.
What if we gave out
Memos for our honeymoon,
Let us slip a typo there,
And leave it off till June?

We could spend another year
Loving each other halfway
If we met in the middle there
Baby, what would we say?
You kept yours to yourself
And mine are on the shelf
Monday the landlord's picking up
The feelings that we left
Along with the broken
Television set.
"What is love anyway?"
I heard you sing along
Definitely not us,
Look our bed is always done
You push your pillow to the edge
I bury my head in mine
Monday the landlord's picking up
The feelings left behind
Along with our deposit
And whatever's on our minds.
We're both the leads in that movie
Where they chase after time
What if we were written for
A different, supporting storyline?
You'll play yourself and I
I'll play another chick
The casting director's telling me
How I'm a perfect fit!
And how they want to cut a couple lines
Along with all the scenes with your hand in mine.

Famous

I waited tables, made up fables
How I'd make the scene
And now I've made it, now I'm famous
You can catch me in your magazines.
Lust for my past, especially my hassles
Wish you had to fight all my battles.
But you were hatin' on me doin'
What I was born to do,
Now you wonder, when you're singing
In your bathtub, "was I too?"
Lust for my past, especially what went wrong
If I was poor before, then it's more fun!
But is the crown or bruises that you want?
Do you root for losers when they've won?
I lust for your life my plate is quite full,
I wish my hassles were more trivial.

Goodbye
02:27

Something under the sun
Below the sky
That eyes can't see
To remember you by
Goodbye
Things are gone that were before
Goodbye
And you can close the door
Maybe flowers
The kind that you would bring
Or a bridge over troubled waters
Arthur, Paul and us would sing
Goodbye, Goodbye
I recall the songs of yesterday
Goodbye, Goodbye
You never could sing anyway
Here I stand and all that I am
Is empty and you are on my mind
It sure would be nice to feel full again
With the pieces that you left behind
Goodbye,
Things are gone they are no more
Goodbye, Goodbye,
You and I we have closed the door.
