What Feels Good 03:09
lyrics

Why is it so hard for me to find the in between Wanna be somewhere in the middle of the gods and obsolete Boredom and elation Fireworks and streetlights High road and low road Middle of the night Is my heart Open or closed? When all the things i feel Seem to be wrong I make myself numb And live for pleasure If anything that’s real Turns me on I make it my own Til it’s a desert Ahh… just gimme what feels good Oooh… just gimme what feels good Ahh… just gimme what feels good Oooh… I just plain forgot what it felt like to be a child Wandrin down a quiet road alone The night life or the daylight The lettuce or the pie I’m either sober or wasted I’m laughin or I’m cryin’ Is my heart Broken or whole? When all the things i feel Seem to be wrong I make myself numb And live for pleasure If anything that’s real Turns me on I make it my own Til it’s a desert It’s such a waste It’s such a burden to me I’d like to pave a safer road to the peace Wastin’ my breath to chase what feels good Just gimme what feels good Ahhh… just gimme what feels good Oooh… just gimme what feels good Ahhh… just gimme what feels good Oooh... just gimme what feels good Oooh… just gimme what feels good Ahhh.... *bonk*

Soft and Strong 03:32
lyrics

It's such a turn on When you say somethin' angry With a smile on your face You fall into laughter I start to withdraw but The way that you cope You stay here And of all the times in my life I'm not quite the same as before I'm feelin' a strange metaphor comin' on You are so soft and so strong Ahhh The way that a mushroom Can thrive on the rotten You are so soft and so strong The way that a storm cloud Rolls on the horizon You are so strong and so warm And of all the folks in my life When you're speakin' your own peace of mind I listen along with delight Tell me more You are so strong and so warm Ahhh It's not a professional way that I feel when I'm with you But I think it's a beautiful thing when a person is drawn to the way that a person is real I'm not quite the same as before I'm feelin' a strange metaphor comin' on You are so soft and so strong Ahhh

What About Me 04:10
lyrics
buy track
It's nothin' but a story I've seen it all before in a movie And when I finally find myself Then you come along to help What about my life? What about my desires? What about, oh, the fact that there was nothin' wrong with me to start? What about my dreams? What about my family? And what about finding my own way out? (eeeee) My grandmother once told me To find myself a man who is wealthy And if you keep him satisfied Then, darling, you're set for life What about my life? What about my desires? What about, oh, the fact that there was nothin' wrong with me to start? What about my dreams? What about my family? And what about finding my own way out? I forget about the lot of things When a man comes into the picture. Like a wildflower in the dawn of spring He disappears when it gets too warm But I don't need to contained No I don't need to be constrained Oh thank you sisters for paving the way Now I have the freedom to say, What about my life? What about my desires? What about, oh, the fact that there was nothin' wrong with me to start? What about my dreams? What about my family? And what about finding my own way out?

Be Your Friend 03:25

Every step along the way It doesn't matter if you stay As long as I can meditate As long as I can fill my plate, oh... I can do better I'll be your friend I'll be just the friend you want me to I can do better I'll be your friend I'll be just the friend you want In the complicated room In my mother's home where I withdrew I could go back to that space Where the forest was my hiding place If I could stand up back then I might have not let heartbreak in Mmmmmm I can do better I'll be her friend I'll be just the friend she wants me to I can do better I'll be her friend I'll be just the friend she wants Well I always look to love to save me I consider it a drug Oooo But every day that I wake up Oh I wish I had a stronger cup If I was wise at 19 I'd'a married that man close to me I remember him with warmth and grace But he's probly got a different face This memory i have of him I'm not sure I'd let the real guy in but When I dreamt of him last night I felt a strange familiar lightness I can do better I'll be his friend I'll be just the friend he wants me to I can do better I'll be his friend Just the friend he wants Oooo
