Everything

"Everything" Alanis Morissette
(damn. I almost wish I wrote this. I need to finish my version of the kind of story going on here... Te adoro mi amor. Gracias por todo)

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind (I believe this is the line where she says asshole on the uncensored version)
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen
And you’ve never met anyone who's as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you’ve ever known
And you’ve never met anyone who's as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

And you’re still here
And you're still here...

Extraordinary

by Liz Phair

You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me

Yeah, I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

You may not believe in me
But I believe in you
So I still take the trash out
Does that make me too normal for you?

So dig a little deeper, cause
You still don't get it yet
See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix
And I'll make, I'll make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess

See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing
What exactly do you do?
Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?
Who the hell are you?

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

Average every day sane psycho


What a fucking kick ass chorus, eh?

Here's another heart healer

Rise
from Into The Mystery, by David Wilcox
..............................................

I see you dreaming by the ocean window
I hear you breathing like the waves upon the shore
The tide is turning on your time of sorrow
You will never be so lonesome any more

The breezes whisper as the curtain dances
Your dreams are deeper than the mystery of the sea
The sun itself is in the room beside you
With a message of how good your life can be

I know that a heart can just get buried
Stone by stone, crushing hope until it dies
Far away, but the message somehow carries
Beloved, it is time for you to rise. Time for you to RISE UP...

With a sudden sense of wonder | Though the promise goes unspoken
As the joy comes to your eyes | When the joy comes to your eyes
From the burden you've been under | For your soul was never broken

Beloved, it is time for you to rise, time for you to rise.

There's nothing wrong with taking time for sleeping
Your eyes are weary with the things that you have seen
A deeper promise your soul is keeping
Right in time for this appointment in your dream

Angels whisper so as not to wake you
There's nothing else in this whole world for you to do
But follow on to where your dream may take you
To see your footsteps from an eagle's point of view

This is interesting, for the chorus, the lines for the first time are to the left of the | , and for the second chorus, they are on the right. The words RISE UP are repeated before each line. huh. that's kind of a schmancy, space saving way of writing it....

Ask For More

This one has been circling in my head, but only a few lines... had to find the rest and get it right!

Ask For More
from Into The Mystery, by David Wilcox
..............................................

Something is wrong, but nothing you can put your finger on
In so many ways it's going fine.
You couldn't complain, you say, and day to day you get along
But lately you lie awake at night

What are you missing? Even though
You're not alone- you wake up lonely
You felt this way before
You know it's true, it's calling you to ASK FOR MORE

Like a message in a bottle, cross the ocean
just to wash up on your shore
From deep in your heart, please, ASK FOR MORE

A beautiful dream you had reminds you of the emptiness
Something your soul is trying to say
Usually you can close your eyes and not remember this
But it's echoing back from miles away

Only a whisper - showing you something you already know
What are you missing? Even though
You're not alone- you wake up lonely
You've had this dream before
Signs are true, calling you to ASK FOR MORE

Like the fragrance of the garden
That can reach you through the cracks around your door
God speaks in your heart, please, ASK FOR...
