Magnolia lyrics

Dreams can come true
Look at me babe if I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you've got to be strong

Move a step closer
You know that i want you
I can tell by your eyes
That you want me too
Just a question of time
I knew we'd be together
And that you'd be mine
I want you here forever

Do you hear what I'm saying
Gotta say how I feel
I can't believe you're here

Aimee Mann

It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop

[Verse 1:]

She's been a long time on the phone

Courting disaster in an undertone

She's feeling nostalgic

and feeling that fall

How could anyone ever fight it

Who could ever expect to fight it when she

Builds that Wall

[Verse 2:]

Maybe it's one where time will tell

Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well

I hear her coming

As she walks down the hall

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,

joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,

logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,

clinical, intellectual, cynical.

You stay the night at his house

with no ride to work

and I'm the one who tells you

he's another jerk

but you're the one who can succeed

you've only got to prove your need--

and you do

you really do

The sex you're trading up for

what you hope is love

is just another thing that

he'll be careless of

but though there are caveats galore

you've only got to love him more--

and you do

Now that I've met you

would you object to

never seeing each other again

cause I can't afford to

climb aboard you

no one's got that much ego to spend

So don't work your stuff

because I've got troubles enough

no, don't pick on me

when one act of kindness could be

deathly

deathly

definitely

Cause I'm just a problem

for you to solve and

watch dissolve in the heat of your charm

At least you know

you were taken by a pro

I know just how you feel

She talked a perfect game

deflecting all the blame

you took the jack

and changed the flat

and got behind the wheel--

now you're

Driving sideways

taken in by the scenery

as you're propelled along

And your companion

will not help you to navigate

for fear she may be wrong

And you will say

that you're making headway

It was an early morning yesterday

I was up before the dawn

And I really have enjoyed my stay

But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle

Like a queen without a throne

I'm an early morning lover

And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say

Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way

To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an achor

[Verse 1:]

Oh, for the sake of momentum

I've allowed my fears to get larger than life

And it's brought me to my current agendum

Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive

[Chorus:]

And I know life is getting shorter

I can't bring myself to set the scene

Even when it's approaching torture

I've got my routine

[Verse 2:]

Oh, for the sake of momentum

Once upon a time is how it always goes

but I'll make it brief

what was started out with such excitement

now I'd gladly end end with relief

in what now has become a familiar motif:

That nothing is good enough

for people like you

who have to have someone take the fall

and something to sabotage--

determined to lose it all

Critics at their worst could never criticize

the way that you do

One is the loneliest number

That you'll ever do

Two can be as bad as one

It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience

You'll ever know

Yes, it's the saddest experience

You'll ever know

Because one is the loneliest number

That'll you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number

That you'll ever know

It's just no good anymore

Since you went away

[Verse 1:]

You look like a perfect fit

For a girl in need of a tourniquet

[Chorus 1:]

But can you save me

Come on and save me

If you could save me

From the ranks of the freaks

Who suspect they could never love anyone

[Verse 2:]

'Cause I can tell

You know what it's like

The long farewell of the hunger strike

[Chorus 2:]

But can you save me

Come on and save me
