Take Me For Granted One More Time
One day you love me, another, it's hate
Some days you want me around
Take me or leave me, just make up your mind
You're driving me into the ground
Give me an answer, give me a sign
Give me a reason to stay
Make me feel like I'm the only girl out there
Before my love fully decays.
A Reason to Wake
From changing poopy diapers
To kissing pain away
I really can't explain this feeling
Any other way
Waking early every morning
Never missing out
On smiles, laughs and milestones
'Cause that's what life's about
Tiny toes and fingerprints
On windows doors and things
I can't begin to tell you
How much joy this child brings
I love my boy with every fiber
And being in soul
Without him, where my heart is
There would be an empty hole.
Stuck in Jars and Put On Shelves
I'm afraid of life, afraid of love
Afraid of what's to come
Afraid of big, afraid of small
I guess fear makes me dumb
Afraid of how and when I'll die
Not fearing death itself
Afraid of dying painfully
Stuck in jars and put on shelves
Afraid of "A's" that drop to "F's"
Afraid of giving up
Afraid of what I'll be in time
Afraid it's not enough
Afraid of sick, afraid of health
Afraid of in between
Afraid of pills and medicine
Afraid I'll make a scene
Afraid of getting beaten up
Afraid of standing strong
Afraid of hurting others
For it always feels so wrong
Afraid of awkward moments and
Afraid to know the truth
Afraid of my pushover ways
For fear of being used
Afraid to stand, afraid to fall
Afraid of choice alone
Afraid to take another hit
Afraid I'll leave too stoned
Afraid of tempt, afraid of try
Afraid I'll be the same
Afraid the blood that's in my veins
Will cost me my own game
Afraid of losing self and mind
Afraid to enemize
Afraid of all the hate I see
Behind these hopeless eyes.
Seattle’s Upper Class
Coffee, Wi-Fi, iPhone 5
That's what keeps those folks alive
Gucci, Macy's, Nordstrom Rack
Shopping sprees. Them folks is stacked
10th floor condo, city view
Looking down on me and you
Taxi, carpool, Metro bus
Some of them are just like us
Gutter, alley, underpass
The rest are living second class.
