This is a collection of songs that Anne and I exchange with each other. It doesn't necessarily mean it's how we feel, sometimes it's just a song that perks us up. We've been exchanging song lyrics the past few months through email, and since I've become addicted to blogging I thought of just posting it online.

Better Best Forgotten
album: Step One (1999), Gold - Greatest Hits (2001)
If only you read my mind
You'd see I was hurt inside
A thousand times I've told myself it's over (it's over)
The story has just begun
And darling what's done is done
It's time to change and leave the past behind
Why should we know all the answers
Or how the story ends
So baby
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go
'Cos baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
And baby we can't pretend
In time the scars will mend
Please believe me there's a chance, let's take it (let's take it)
And maybe at last we'll find
That love should be true not blind
You can't deceive a heart that's open wide
And even now it's not too late
To change the story's end
So baby
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go
'Cos baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Better best forgotten
The story has just begun
And darling what's done is done
It's time to change and leave the past behind
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go
'Cos baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go
'Cos baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten

Never Ever
album: All Saints (US Release) (1998), All Saints (UK Release) (1997), All Hits (2001)
A few questions that I need to know
How you could ever hurt me so
I need to know what I've done wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention
Or did I not give enough affection
Not only will your answers keep me sane
But I'll know never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face
Or even on the phone,
You can write it in a letter
Either way I have to know
Did I never treat you right
Did I always start the fight
Either way I'm going out of my mind
All the answers to my questions I have to find
My head's spinnin'
Boy I'm in a daze
I feel isolated
Don't wanna communicate
I take a shower
I will scour
I will run
Find peace of mind
The happy mind
I once owned, yeah
Flexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting,
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
Chorus
Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling yeah it just don't feel right
I'll keep searching
Deep within my soul
For all the answers
Don't wanna hurt no more
I need peace gotta feel at ease
Need to be
Free from pain
Going insane
My heart aches, yeah
Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head
The alphabet runs right from A to Zed
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done, nothing wrong
Now I'ma just awaiting,
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
You can tell me to my face
or even on the phone
Ooh you can write it in a letter babe
'Cause I really need to know
You can write it in a letter babe
You can write it in a letter babe (repeat til fade)
Be My Number Two
album: Greatest Hits (1996), Steppin' Out: The Very Best Of Joe Jackson (1990), The Collection (2001), 20th Century Masters (2001), Ultimate Collection (2003), Body & Soul (1984), This Is It! The A&M Years (1997), Steppin' Out: The Very Best Of Joe Jackson (2001)
Won't you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won't be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue
And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action
And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you
And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action
And every time I look at you
You'll be who I want you to
And I'll do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you'll be my
If you be my number two
Insensitive
album: Living Under June (1995), Greatest Hurts: The Best of Jann Arden (2001)
How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere
Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive
How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again
Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have, some advice to give
On how to be insensitive
Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, the casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

I Want You
album: Keep The Faith (1992)
The last time that I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by, yes she did ...
As she packed up her belongings
Baby wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
When where how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But her memory kept calling your name, yes it did..
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
All the things that my money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I may have built for you a dreamhouse
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar, these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar.... but all I want is you
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

Tuliro - sponge cola
Labis ako'y nahuhumaling sa isip
Bawat sandaling ika'y makapiling
Giliw hayaang lumapit
Wag mo sanang ipagkait
Ang malas sa langit
**anong nadarama
Tuwing makikita kang
Dumarating, tuliro
Di malaman ang gagawin
At walang sino mang makapipigil sa akin
At wla ng ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sau..haaay!!
Wari di ko na malimut
Mga galaw at kilos mo
Sa aking pagtulog
At sa panaginip ika'y mamalagi
Di na muling malulumbay
Sa aking pagising
Repeat**
Anong nadarama
Anong nadarama
Ngayon sa isip ko'y hindi ka maalis
Tuliro
Di malaman ang gagawin
At walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin
At wala ng ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sau...
Anong nadaram
Ngayon at nandirito ka sa aking tabi
Tuliro
Di malaman ang gagawin
At walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin
At wala ng ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sau..

Too Many Walls
album: Move To This (1991)
Wish on a rainbow is all I can do
Dream of the good times that we never knew
No late nights alone in your arms
I'll dream on
Living in wonder, thinking of you
Still looking for ways to uncover the truth
You're so young is all they can say
They don't know.
If I could change the way of the world
I'd be your girl...
Too many walls have been built in between us
Too many dreams have been shattered around us
If I seem to give up they'll still never win
Deep in my heart I know the strength is within
Watching the others chances drift by
They'll never discover these feelings I hide
Deep inside I'm falling apart
All alone with a broken heart
Thinking in silence is all they allow
These words still unspoken may never be found
All these dreams one day will be mine
They cross my mind
My time has yet to come
Until then
Too many walls have been built in between us
Too many dreams have been shattered around us
If I seem to give up they'll still never win
Deep in my heart I know the strength is within
Chorus to fade.....
