State Your Peace lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Why am i always the last one to say how i feel?

It's like driving down the middle of the road

with no hands on the wheel

And i keep hearing stories about the guy who was killed while he prayed

Well you should go ahead and say it 'cause we're all gonna die anyway

State your peace,

go ahead and say it i swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and be a hero but people keep dying everyday

You can keep earning money but your money keeps burning away

And it feels like the future's always waiting on the tip of my tongue

Like a cat holding back 'till it's too late the damage is done

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and change the world by showing everyone a better way

But the world's gonna do what the world's gonna do at the end of the day

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make your peace with history,

a blessing from a curse

State your peace

blow it wide open, did you find you an oyster pearl

Make your peice with history

you just might be the one who can change the world

Can you save the world

You can change the world

Hey Sister Pretty lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Something so innocent,

began then came and went

keeps coming back to around to haunt you in the end.

You think we're fighting now,

it's all the same somehow,

loves tortured all artist wrecks the masterpeice again.

Used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Nothing so powerful yet so frustrating,

Nothing so personal as a gift thats from your heart.

Nothing so damaging so devestating,

Nothing so closer yet so far apart.

It used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up you beat me up again

The Killing Stone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I heard a preacher man speaking on the radio

Remember thinking that I'd like to tell him where to go

Go back to that book that you've been waving around

Open it up, and go to that part about

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause now you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oh

Saw another fella talking on the TV show

Trying to tell me how to live and just how I should vote

He says he believes in the sanctity of life

100,000 died

Tell me are you sanctified

Now you without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oooohhhh

We're all looking for redemption

But is it for our souls

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over, turning it over now 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

You can't hide beneath

The killing stone, oh, oh, oh

Killing stone

Oh no, you're down on

(The killing stone)

Stone, stone, oh

(The killing stone)

Stone

Get Out Of My Mind lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Last night had a crazy dream

You were everywhere it seemed

You were filling up my soul

Doin' everything to make me whole

Read about you in the Sunday paper

Saw your face on the evening news

When I woke everything was gone

And I remembered we were through

Don't come 'round here no more

[CHORUS:]

Hey get out of my mind

Then you tell me we got things to say

You come around here looking so fine

Makes it so hard to walk away

Oh, get out of my head

Because that look there could leave me dead

Then you tell me that you love me

Remember you were the one to leave

I came back home and I couldn't believe

I know I would have given anything

You took it all and you made me think

Why would she leave me for another man

What does he have, Lord, that I don't have

I see you stayin' in his fancy home

I put on Lauren and I drink alone and say

Don't come 'round here no more

[chorus]

I'll be there for you

I remember when I said that I would

Always love you, too

I lied

Don't come around no more

[chorus]

[repeat]

Another Year's Gone By lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Oh my God what do I see, over my shoulder

Now that a year's gone by

Can't escape this memory, its burning brighter

Now that a year's gone by

And I try, not to linger, but I'll still cry

Now that a year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Oh my God it's part of me, this burning anger

I feel the fever rise, fill my heart with harmony

Let it spill over, touch us deep inside

So an eye, it won't be taken, for an eye

Now that a year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Oh my God please answer me, why are we fighting

If you're on everybody's side

If we can't stop this misery in your name and put our fear aside

We'll be gone before we know it, blink of an eye

Another year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Can I See You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I thought the ghost was starting to fade

It hadn't haunted me in days

Just when the sun was coming through

Coincidence out of the blue

I see you

With a smile

You knock me knees

You don't mean to me

But you still got that hold on me

When I see you

It happens when I'm all alone

Sometimes your presence is so strong

I try to sleep

Turn out the lights

Say my prayers and close my eyes

And I see you

With a smile

You knock me to my knees

You don't mean to

But you've still got that hold on me

When I see you

Anytime of day

Anywhere I go

Any song on the radio

I hear your voice

I feel your touch

In the strangest places you show up

Can I see you

With a smile

You knock me to my knees

You don't mean to

But you've still got that hold on me, yeah

Can I see you

A Smile lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

They pulled the switch that sent me far

Into the rich and distant stars

Bounced me back into your car

Returning with a smile

Constantly in rotation

An astronaut on the radio station

Passing on that sweet sensation

If only for a while

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

A canyon cracks a smile at me

As I pass at 80,000 feet

Revolving only to receive America , America

Please be free, be a part of me

We need unilateral harmony

Something that will help us be

Better than before

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

As I wonder through

It's all right in front of you

Every moment matters in the end

Smile at what used to be

The glory and the agony

Smile at a memory

Smile at your enemies, yeah

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

Smile for a while

Smile

One Love lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Sunshine, on the horizon

Over two young lovers, while it's going down

Somewhere, the same sun rising

On another two lovers, as the world goes `round

Same scene played over and over

Same sweet passion, same warm blood

Softly speaking the universal language

So many lovers, one love

[Chorus:]

One love might make the difference (One Love)

Might take the walls and tear them down

One light might keep on shining (One Love)

If we take one love and we spread it around

Old religions, new generations

Caught in a struggle about a righteous way

Can't see the forest for all the frustrations

So many lyin', so many dyin'

But only one love

[Chorus]

Too many stories, weave a common thread

Too many roads traveled, all reach the same end

Same scene play's over and over now

Same young passion, same red blood

Universal language goes unspoken

Too much hatred, to much hatred now

But only one love

[Chorus]

[Repeat]

Sunshine, on the horizon

Over two young lovers, while it's going down

Leaving lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I was a little lost

Rode home on my bicycle

The night was warm and it was June

Charleston gets so hot so soon

It reminded me of leaving

Walked into a crowded room

Looked around for a place to stand

Everyone I did not know, and knew

Reminded me of you

Reminded me of leaving, this evening

Reminded me of leaving,

Reminded me of you

Stood so near the ocean

Wearing only your birthday suits

We were tripping eight miles high

Shooting stars, your blue disguise

Reminded me of leaving, this evening

Reminded me of leaving, just breathing

Reminded me of leaving...

I was a little lost

Autumn Jones lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Autumn Jones

When you fell and cut your knee when you were six

You said it wasn't nothing that you couldn't fix

Life would be long

Autumn Jones

Do you remember when your Daddy said goodbye

How you blamed yourself as tears fell from your eye

'Cause he was gone

Autumn Jones

Yeah, I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Oh, please be strong

Autumn Jones

Remember sitting watching years just pass you by

Why weren't you feeling all those dreams you held inside

Life never lies

But I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Oh, please be strong

Autumn Jones

Now you're standing at the altar all alone

Feeling everything you ever had is gone

Ain't life a song

Well, I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Please be strong

'Cause I understand your soul feels like cryin'

Oh, you have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Ain't life a song

Autumn Jones

Free To Everyone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Look so pretty sitting there

Could you be the one

All it costs to find out is time

Story upon story upon what you call your life

Blaming everybody but yourself

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Little pretty standing there

Can you give me some time

I was thinking we might have some fun

Layer upon layer upon never thinking twice

I wanna be somebody not myself, no

'Cause love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Cannot have the rain without the clouds up in the sky

Don't put the cart before the horse, when you're looking for a ride

You put one foot in front of the other baby when you need to, you need to run

You better find what makes you happy before you fall for anyone

Fall for anyone, fall for anyone

Love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Share with everyone

Love is free to everyone....

Waltz Into Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Years of trying to keep myself free

Now I find that I'm down on my knees

I kept hiding the feeling I had

Locked away everyday, Lonesome and sad

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz into me

Softly, Slowly

Time has shown me the error of my ways

I try to find you day after day

Our time has come now, our friends have all said

Waltz into me, talk to me

Our love has no end

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz into me

Softly, Slowly

I've hidden as long as I can

[Bridge:]

I see it's all in my head

You're the best thing I've ever had

Won't you dance with me night after night

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz with me

Softly, slowly

Then you hold me softly

And you love me slowly

You know that our love has no end

Deeper Side lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I've found a reason to dig deep down.

There's a part of you that I ain't found that's in your deeper side.

Instead of wondering what I should do,

I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.

Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

that I would give most anything to see.

There's a lot of things that I would know

if you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.

Everybody always seems so pure,

then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.

Show me your, yeah. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

I would give most anything to see.

You think the world has got your number now.

You cry about it but you know somehow it's your deeper side.

I heard you wishing you were someone else

but all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.

So, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Please, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Oh, show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.

You would give most anything to see.

Show me your deeper side.

Little Brother lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

How you gonna say what you can and can't do,

sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube.

You're mad at the world like she owe you,

What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?

Not a damn thing changed.

You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game.

You're flossing again,

you talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Everyday you're out slinging that thing.

No worries or cares of what your mama may say.

Trying to get what you want in your life.

The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice.

Not a damn thing changed.

You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game.

You're flossing again,

you talk a good game,

but you're still struggling hard to maintain.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try.

All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky.

All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled.

Time is moving rapidly.

Don't let it pass you by, yeah.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, no,

a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water...

Innocence lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?

And the only voice you choose to hear

sings the songs of our hearts breaking.

Say your dreams, they all have changed.

Well, my smiles, they all have faded.

And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,

they now feel jaded.

Because I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.

Storm clouds all have gone away.

Can we stop this thing from sinking?

Because I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

And I want you to know,

and to feel in your soul,

that someone has come and gone.

I'm stuck up here with you.

I never thought we'd get this high.

I used to be afraid of falling.

Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly.

I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

I wanna feel like I did.

Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh. I...

Space lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I see it inside your eyes,

feel it in your soul.

A part of you is moving on,

the other half is gone.

I don't know what you want from me,

no, you lock it all inside.

I try to give you everything,

but there's nothing else that I can hide.

We've been trying so long.

You've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.

The house we share is not a home when you're inside it.

So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,

I must be moving on.

I couldn't stand to face you,

so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song.

You've been trying so long.

We've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long.

You've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

I'll Come Runnin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It's been such a long time

since I haven't seen your face.

There's a tear on your cheek

where your smile used to be 'cause I'm going away.

We had such a good time,

though we knew this day might come.

So when you hold me tonight, squeeze a little tighter

'cause in the morning, I'll be gone.

And, I tell you, baby, now, I might be long.

But, I'll come runnin'.

I'll come runnin' home.

I'll come runnin' home to you.

I'll come runnin' (I'll come runnin').

I'll come runnin' home (I'll come).

I'll come runnin' home to you.

It's already 5 AM.

We haven't got much sleep just yet.

Sun is rising.

I wish I could make time stand still.

I look in your eyes, now, love and I don't know what to say.

The words, the words.

And if you say you'll wait me for me, now, I know you'll try.

But, I'll come runnin'.

I'll come runnin' home.

I'll come runnin' home to you, you.

I will come runnin' home (I'll come runnin').

I'll never leave you alone, girl (I'll come).

I'll always come runnin' home to you. You.

I (I'll come runnin') (I'll come)

I will, I will, I will,

I will come home and I'll always come home right to you.

(I'll come runnin')

No matter what I did, no matter what I do. (I'll come)

I'll always. I'll always come runnin' home.

I'll always come runnin' home to you.

I'll come runnin'. I'll come. I'll come runnin'. I'll come.

Tears Fall Down lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Now I see the time we had before

is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore.

And I've learned that written words are not the same

as when you take the time to say it

and let the clouds release the rain.

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends.

Yesterday's just something I can't mend.

And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too.

Now my tears fall down for you. For you.

And I say one thing each day before I lay me down.

I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around.

And I can't overcome your memory in my mind.

It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time.

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend.

But, yesterday's just something I can't mend.

'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too.

Now my tears fall down for you. For you. You.

The Rain Song lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I don't think about us much anymore.

Frankly, the topic has become a bore.

And you don't come up much in my conversations.

And I don't think about you on vacation.

Oh, but when it rains.

When it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)

I remember you.

I don't think about you when I'm sleeping.

Oh, it doesn't even cross my dream-like mind. (Oh)

And I don't think I see your face through the curtain.

Hell, I don't even miss you half the time. (Half the time)

Oh, when it rains. When it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)

I remember you.

Rain, rain, go away.

I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up inside a cloud of grey.

Rain, rain. Rain, rain, rain. Rain, rain. Rain. Rain!

'Cause when it rains. Yeah, when it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (I remember)

I remember you. (I remember you)

That's when I remember. (I remember)

The only time I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you) I remember you.

Show Me Your Heart lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,

never knowing I was your chocolate rose.

You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing,

but you think I look better here without any clothes.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

You play a game of attack and surrender.

Always leaving me halfway there.

Well I've got something that you should remember.

Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus, now, oh.

If I didn't already know your type.

You'd rather tell me you're an angel, darling,

then show me by floating gracefully by.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

Get out of my head, oh. And, show me your heart.

Get out, get out, get out of my head.

Yeah, and show me your heart.

Show me your, oh.

Get out of my head. And, show me your heart.

When She's Gone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

She has a light and a faith that won't die.

She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.

She has a pretty young daughter back home

who'll soon start to cry when she's gone.

When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone.

Now she spends her days with a mission to live.

She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.

And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she's gone.

When she's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.

She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.

(Smiles when she sleeps)

And dreams of the days when we'll all finally meet.

She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know.

We hope we never know.

We sit together and talk about our faith.

We play a game where we'll sing all our troubles away.

Though she's glad to be with me,

she knows darm well that her next life awaits when she's gone.

Oh, when she's gone.

When she's gone.

When she's gone, she's gone. She's gone.

She's gone away. She's gone away.

She's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.

Oh, no. (When she's gone)

Oh, she's gone.

I know she's gone. (When she's gone)

Little Darlin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Hello, little darlin'.

Can't see why you're cryin'.

Don't even know why you came by so soon.

And I know that you love me.

Remember that you left me.

Why were you so afraid of the truth?

Now, no, no.

Hello, how you doing?

Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.

So sit down at my table.

We'll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.

Now, no, no.

Now, no, no. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...)we'll be alright again.

Now, I told you right from the start

that I don't want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.

And, now that I don't see you much,

I wish that we had stayed in touch.

I don't know what I would say or what you think I would do.

Now, no, no. Now, no, no. Now, no. Now, no, no. Now, no, no. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again.

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how we'll be alright again.

Woody lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Can you see me there when I'm standing alone?

How did you know I needed you here?

Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?

Is that what makes you appear?

See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,

what we did to become this way.

And, I'll never forget when you whispered to me.

You said, don't worry it'll be ok.

Sometimes the sun calls our names.

And, sometimes we listen.

Sometimes the devil's there, but we just can't go with him.

Can you hear me now when I'm standing this close?

Can I tell you one of my fears?

See, I hope you live to sing when I die,

'cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more.

'Cause sometimes the sun calls our names.

And, sometimes we listen.

And, sometimes the devil's there,

but we just can't go with him.

Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no.

Sometimes we listen.

Sometimes the devil's there,

but we just can't go with him.

Go And Tell Him (Soup Song) lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I don't care about your man's reputation.

I don't care what you say about him.

All I know is you're some kind of woman,

and, it won't be tonight,

but, girl, you're gonna give in.

Go and give him his walking papers.

Tell him things that he never knew.

Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?

Don't you know what you've got to do now?

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.

Stirring the soup

and you start to think about the times that we had

and the times that I said now.

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

I don't care about your man's reputation.

I don't care what your man's gonna do.

You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.

I can tell that you're gonna come soon.

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

Go and tell him that you are gone.

I said, go and tell him that you are gone.

Go, you can tell.

Go and tell him girl.

Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.

Oh, oh, oh.

Alright lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

She's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

I'm so confused.

She's not amused.

'Cause I do way too much thinking.

It's not supposed to be this hard.

So, she calls me out and there's no doubt that I do way too much drinking.

I guess it's got me through this far.

When my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.

Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

I heard the news.

I just refuse to believe that we were sinking.

Still can't believe they went that far.

So, I start to shout, but I'm all cried out and still doing way too much thinking.

Can't seem to scrape away those scars. no.

And, if my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.

Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright. Alright.

I think I can finally see what she's been telling me.

It's all inside my head.

I guess I knew it all along.

And, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that it's all in me.

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

A Fine Line lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

There's a curve in the highway just south of town

Where a man has pulled over to figure life out

With only his conscience and the lonesome sound

Of diesels windin' up the grade

He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so

And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show

He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't

And he wonders how life got this way

('Cause its) A fine line in between right and wrong

(Yeah) He's been crossing over that border way too long

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing

Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing

He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring

They're both gonna have his babies now

So how do you confess what words won't explain

He never intended to cause this much pain

Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain

And got that he bargained from the clouds

(And its) [REPEAT CHORUS]

He'll turn his care around tonight

Go home and try to face the truth

Everyone involed's getting" hurt

And there aint nothin' he can do

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start

Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape

From

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Yeah they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart

Nobody's getting' out without a broken heart

I Go Blind lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

In the mornin' I get up, and I try to

Feel alive, but I can't.

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

I don't know what it is.

Something in me just won't give me a chance.

I think it's that I feel more confused

By the deal love has shown me.

Little child, did you know that there's a light,

And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.

What do you think that life is like?

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

I go blind

Well some where over there there's a purpose,

There's a care for free

In me there's no body, no one plan,

No one stand to be free.

I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss

And it's no big deal. No big deal.

Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,

Higher than life.

Almost Home lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Walking on the water in a van

Tryin to think of everything I can

But it's getting very late,

And these tapes don't sound too good

And my body just don't feel

The way I wish it would.

I was driving when I heard you call my name.

It was not like before not quite the same

It's too late to be much good and I might as well confess

That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes.

When I'm almost with you music tries to play,

When I'm almost home I almost hear you say,

It would be all right if we could run away.

Deciding things for all my life

No one ever tells you when or why

But my heart can't seem to tell me

What would satisfy my mind

So I jump into the van one more time

Hey, Hey What Can I Do lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love

My she looks so fine

She's the only one that I been dreamin' of

Maybe someday she will be all mine

I wanna tell her that I love her so

I thrill with her every touch

I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

[Chorus]

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman; she won't be true, no

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church

See the menfolk standin' in line

I said they come to pray to the Lord

With my little girl, looks so fine

In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low

Everybody's with the one they love

I walk the town

Keep a-searchin' all around:

Lookin' for my street corner girl

[Chorus]

In the bars, with the men who play guitars

Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times

My little lover does a midnight shift

She followed around all the time

I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do

Gonna pack my bags and move on my way

Cause I got a worried mind

Sharin' what I thought was mine

Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I say)

Hey, hey, what can I do

I got a woman she won't be true

Lord, hear what I say

I got a woman, wanna ball all day.

Renaissance Eyes lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Are you alone, Renaissance Eyes

I won't tell my family stolen from, Renaissance Eyes

Is theat your car, Renaissance Eyes, yeah

Have you ever taken dancing lessons, Renaissance Eyes

[Chorus:]

Drench you in a passion

And dress you with a passion

Though the vision haunts you

I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes

Love me with those eyes:

Oh, is that you car, Renaissance Eyes

I once had a car but it was stolen, Renaissance Eyes

Tell me you name, Renaissance Eyes

Do you ever think about the future, Renaissance Eyes

[CHORUS]

Oh spend my days with her copies I've collected

All my nights, all my nights with a sliver screen

Nothing wrong with the way that I respect her

She's more than an, more than an ordinary queen

[CHORUS]

When the days are short

And the nights are long

And I wait for you to love me with those eyes

Love me with those eyes, eyes, eyes

Love me with those eyes, eyes

Love me with those eyes

Before The Heartache Rolls In lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

There's a chill in your kissin'

And a thrill I've been missin' too long

This love is deceivin', babe, I'm believin'

This thing's going' wrong

'Cause your eyes betray your heart and soul

and your love for me is growin' old

And I think maybe I'd better pack my bags and

[CHORUS:]

Roll like the wind, better roll 'till the highway ends

Gonna roll on outta her

Before the heartache rolls in

There's a lonesome sound that keeps rollin'

'Round inside of me

Those wheel on the highway are whinin' on by

Baby I gotta leave

If I don't get out now while my minds in control

Then I'll never be able to ever let go

And I think maybe I better head outta here and

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Araby lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It is worth the admission

"Oh my love" fogs up the glass

I look on, in a window

"Oh my love" fogs up the glass.

On rainy days I wonder what's behind the veil

And I feel your breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand,

It's my gift from Araby.

We can move and be trusted,

But what is it that you want?

It is not what they think,

Yeah what is it that you want?

They look down on me and they smile forever,

But I know that love will kill that pride

And I press my heart into your hand

It's my gift from Araby.

Listen to what you're saying,

You know nothing of my love,

And if it all comes down to what you say

You know nothing of my love.

And looking up into the dark I find it there,

And I feel my breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand

It's my gift from Araby.

I'm Over You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

The stars are shining brighter than the night that I remember

My thoughts are like a river

Reflecting in all directions

I'm gonna phone her, but not today

I'm gonna write her, but not today

Today I'm gonna be

Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down

A beer in one hand, the radio blasting

My old needs I won't recognize

I'm Over You

Hold on to the evening, hold on to the morn

All night long, sunshine hiding underneath and

I'm gonna phone her, but not today

I'm gonna write her, but not today

Today I'm gonna be

Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down

A beer in one hand, the radio blasting

My old needs I won't recognize

I'm Over You

Miles of country road rise, rise away

The cars are by the river

Clouds are in the coffee shops around here

[CHORUS]

Gravity Of The Situation lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

We blew past the army motorcade

and it's abnormal load haulage

The gravity of the situation

came on us like a bit of new knowledge

The bubbliest bubble bath

broke down on the bank

The gravity of the situation

is why our old thought bubbles sank

humble and gracious

The gravity of the situation

a fat hungry English crow

picking at a badger carcass

The gravity of the situation

is hard to focus and harness

We met Bill Lowery

at the Queen's Hall

The gravity of the situation

became apparent to us all

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

'Cause falling in love just makes me blue.

Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,

I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me.

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere

And I wonder should I offer you a chair?

Well if you sit down with this old clown,

Take that frown and break it, before the evening's gone away,

I think that we could make it,

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man.

These old tomcat feelings you don't understand,

Well I turn around to look at you; you light a cigarette,

I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met.

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,

And it being late, You'd like some some company.

Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,

The guy you're with has up and split the chair next to you's free.

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out.

Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.

Well I turn around to look at you; you're nowhere to be found,

I search the place for your lost face,

Guess I'll have another round.

And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Dream Baby lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Sweet dream baby

How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams nighttime too

I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do

Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

Driver 8 lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(originally by R.E.M.)

The walls are built up, stone by stone;

the fields divided one by one.

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

we've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.

The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.

Bells are ringing through the town again,

Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Way to shield the hated heat.

Way to put myself to sleep.

Way to shield the hated heat.

Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.

She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.

Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.

Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We've been on this shift too long."

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break.

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Let Me Be Your Man lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I've been waiting for you

I wish you could too

Had you too long to lay back now

First time you caught my eye

I knew I want to spend my life

Making you feel like you should

[CHORUS:]

I'm not trying to make you do

Nothing you don't want to

But I said I love you

My love depends on you

It grow, it flows, it goes by you

Won't you let me be your man

So if you'd only tell me (it you'd only tell me)

Tell me that you love me (tell me that you love me)

I'll be the luckiest man alive

I just keep on waiting, anticipating

'Til the day you say you're mine

[CHORUS]

Won't you let me be your man

Let me be your man

Won't you let me be your man

Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Good times for a change.

See the look I've had could make a good man turn bad.

So please please please, let me, let me, let me:

Let me get what I want this time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.

See the life I've had could make a good man bad.

So for one in my life let me get what I want.

Lord knows it would be the first time.

Use Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

My friends feel it's their appointed duty

They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me

But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used

Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

My brother sits me right down and he talked to me

He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me

And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through

I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes

You just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me

You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me

But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used

Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do

It ain't too bad the way you're using me

Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do

Ah ha to do the things you do

I Will Wait lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Aboard his ship he stops to stare

Needs to smell her, touch her hair

Say's "I can't be without her"

Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's

Makes her mind up goes to bed

Another night alone without him

Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of

All that we've become

I can't wait to make the promises

I've been leery of

I'll be there waiting for you

In the morning when times have changed

I'll be there through the lies and all

Standing like your soldiers

You hold your secrets

Through the days when I need to be alone

I will wait for you

Through the lies and all

She was left behind so they could stay

God to feel him this she prays

It would make her feel so much better

I want to feel so much better

Wishing lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

At least you tried

That's more than anyone around you

And if you lied

Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you

Wishing is all you'll ever do

Wish I was here with you

Then I'd be fine

And if you died

Would they gather all around you

And if you cried

Would it wash away your misery

It's worse at night

Spirits flying all around you

Without the light

They can take away your sanity

[CHORUS]

Las Vegas Nights lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Las Vegas nights

Have been calling

But I wait to see her float down stairs

There she stands with her eyes full and yearning

I look

And I know gotta be there

Is there another chance

To bring her closer

Make her feel I know we could be happy again

Is there another chance

To bring her flowers

So she will only whisper my name

A chance to make things right for her

And make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

Don't go down to the station

Somehow we won't live that long

Don't go now, desert flower

Cause you just won't bloom

And your memories made need more room

See that mirror there

Will she look inside

To see the one I fear standing alone

And on my phonograph

Will she put them in

The songs that only remind her of me

A chance to make things right for her

And make my life seem true

I'm begging Do

[CHORUS]

I step outside The Joint

To clouds of guilt and fear

And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights

Make me wonder

How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her

Make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

[CHORUS]

Only Lonely lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Hello again

Your words they make me smile

As I drift away

In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights

Imagining your face your touch

Then I realize

How I don't even know your name

If we could share our time

Would I disappoint your fantasies

I believe that you could be the one I'm needing

'cause I'm

only lonely on the inside

didn't mean to take away your dreams

only lonely on the inside

when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

I could start to give apologies

For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do

If we should ever cross the same place at the same time

Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me

If we could share our life

Would I disappoint your memories

I believe that I could be the one your needing

And I'm

[CHORUS]

If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures

Don't you think that I would change my world

But there's so many things trying to pull us together

Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away

Only lonely on the inside

Didn't mean to take away your dreams

Only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes do you see me

(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

(when you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

Answer Man lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

You must retreat now

I just can't talk anymore

Your words make me empty inside

There's nothing left of you

Time seems to change

Thoughts I have for you

Now I'm so alive

But you seem to be

Drowning every minute

I say that's life

You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and

I don't want to follow you

Into your cloud

I am tired of being the one

To live and learn from your mistakes

I'm just so sick of my mind

It sees us like a light

Shining bright

In the middle

Don't you see us smiling now

You say that's life

I say it's alright

[CHORUS]

Please open your eyes

See where you sleep tonight

I hope you never call it home

But your bound to live bound to die in it

You say that's life

I say I'll still be here

[CHORUS]

Michelle Post lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I met a girl just the other day

Stop to talk she had a lot to say

She told me all about her politics

Then she told me something that made me sick

Michele Post knows all about it

But she don't want just to talk about it

She got everything that she believes in

She's got something and she wants let me in

Bluesy Revolution lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It's almost like

We came back wet

Back from the dead

And I'm thinking of you

We traveled long

We traveled hard

To long to bear

Hard just to come through

And when I stop

I see you there

You make me feel

What more must I do

My revolution is reigning peace

And there is nothing I can see

Is there a reason we should seek

Please let me see

That I can bleed

And I can answer

To all that is true

I stumbled long

And I fell hard

We loved so strong

For all that we knew

Please hear me now

And hold your anger somehow

But why must it be me

My revolution is reigning peace

And there is nothing that I can see

Is there a reason we should seek

When the end is all I see

And when I wake

I sing your song

Somewhere you stir

Cause your wanting me too

Don't listen to

The others answers

Our love is not new

Home Again lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Your letter came yesterday Your, flying home for Christmas Could you stop to see me smile I sat down to remember All the pain we shared But I drifted to times not so hard Oh I see you in the corner of Life's grand ballroom And I tremble to see you again Let's all go home again Find where we have been Time is never understood I see you holding me Please don't let me be Tonight just may be our last The bell rings to tell me You're here now And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night And I can't believe you look this way Like a doll in satin On a birthday afternoon Hold me tightly Like never before You've come to say your alive [CHORUS] The sun arrives You wake and peek outside Touch my hand and walk right away I hear you close the door I don't feel joy anymore And my heart is racing to who knows where And I say it's our last night And clutch my soul so tight But I'll let go to have you again [CHORUS]

One By One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Three

In my family say

"we've never been anywhere"

"to the left sea

can we go please

we don't care we want to

sit and stare at it"

can we try

to hold up our head

feel the power of the land that we trampled once

can we go

where you go

we know you always need us behind

it's me it's me

calling around looking for your reply

let me tell you where the story

can run to now

we came together

we will leave here one by one

let's go on and remember

where we've been

aunt Inez

from Virginia she

makes me feel like I could be president

of all I see

and all I dream

in these eyes that have held so much punishment

[CHORUS]

When she laughs

I hold up my head

She makes me feel like I could walk on water now

Can she go

Where I go

I know I'll always need her behind

[CHORUS]

Desert Mountain Showdown lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Robinn' Robin in the tree

Won't you come down here and rescue me

Cause there's someplace else I gotta see

And you can stand in for me for awhile

Come on now hurry down

No time to play around

I need someone to walk this mile

She jumped and said like a child

Love is gone but now I see

You've got to capture me to set me free

Miss Mina came to me in a dream

She said, "boy come and walk with me

There's someplace I've got to see"

So we strolled along the mountain high

She called me boy my friend

And I wondered if or even when

I'd see Greta and my Rose again

The time has come for dealing

Lessons learned but now I see

You've got to capture me to set me free

I flew on the wings of a bird

And I whispered names of girls I once knew

Then she disappeared into a fallen stream

What's Going On Here lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Do you see heaven

Like I do

Or is it just me

Wanting you

Tonight I'm special

Like no one else

I hope you need me

For yourself

Does it make you happy

To be so free

The times we shared

You loving me

And as you leave

And walk away

Your eyes they tell me

Someday you'll stay

What's going on here

What must we fear

To live in this fantasyland in your mind

Who'll carry the load

For dreams left untold

Can you live in this world all mine

I would walk this journey

To say goodbye

To have you close would

Make me high

All the good things

That made you see

It was the strong thing

Being with me

[CHORUS]

Just look high above

And you'll see where we should be

And if tomorrow makes

If tomorrow breaks us

Then you stand still and I'll

Show you me

Like you never knew

Or is it just me

Wanting you

So as you leave

And walk away

I knew you'd come back

Now let's play

[CHORUS]

What Do You Want From Me Now lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

take a little bit of everything baby

i'll be all right

don't just settle for living the lie

that I thought you might

put on your disguise

let me see that you're bigger than me

tell me that tomorrow

I'll wake and yearn for you

And when I call your name out

You leave and take a bow

You say what do want from

Call off the service now baby

No one really knew

That I would have to leave

But now I'm a better man

I thought you realized

I wanted you but

You left so suddenly

I know I promised but now I lied

And when I kiss you someday

If you feel that your aloud

You say "what do you want from me now"

Burn all your candles

Turn out the light

Forget the feeling you've been feeling

Deep inside of me we'll be alright

Now it's the morning after

And I'm doing what you said

No one answers

So I cope cause you are gone

Oh I just wanted you baby

But I have to deal cause

My heart isn't big enough

To love you even if I please

And if I need you someday

You will not make a sound

Just think what do you want from me now

Fairweather Johnson (1996)

Be The One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I wonder

Why are we involved

With the seasons

And the living of our own

Let me see if nothing's wrong

I just want to be the one

(She) wanted

You still give her all our lives

Let her be son

Who is she buying

See her crawl

I'll just make it out

(We don't see it bleeding)

I want to die with you

(Something no ones needing)

I left the other day

But you're never here

You only listen to things you want to save

But the power it's ok with you

You knew I'd find something else to do

Let me be the one

(we don't see it bleeding)

I wanna fly, I wanna die with you

Something no ones

See it's not like they

Are gonna take my faith away

Let me in it's ok now

Close the door

Is it really needing

When you find a place

That's only yours

Just go he beams

Well I've died for good now

Let me feel it

Let her come---let her run---let her run

(Now)

Let me be the one

(We don't see it bleeding)

I can't feel it, I can't see it

(Something no ones needing)

I feel dumb

Old Man & Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Well an old man said to me

In a voice filled with pain

Where you going young man

Said I'm going to fight a war

Gonna fight for my country

In some foreign land

He said "The sun will never hurt you

Never harmed anyone

But you must realize"

If you try to stare her down

She will win in the end

She will burn your eyes

She will burn them

Seen a million places

Seen a million faces die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get to Heaven

He said "Boy I was young once

Yeah I was tough

Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat

Hey I could kill the enemy

I could die on foreign streets

But I could not vote

But now you walk by me

You won't talk to me

Say this is my fate

But every time you walk the streets boy

Most of them you meet

You see it's you they hate

It's you...

Seen a million faces

Seen a million places die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get to Heaven

I hope I get there

Seen a million places

Seen a million faces die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get there

See this woman sitting next to me

She's been there for a long, long time

And when I fell, she picked me up

When I cried, she wiped my tears

I thank god she's mine

And when I leave this world

She won't have anything

But her love for me

'Cause the man took everything else

Made me hate myself

So just let her be boy

Won't you let her be

The Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Another reason to doubt me

Another teardrop falls

Can't wait for a friend when loneliness calls

Another kiss in the basement

Pour salt on my tongue

No one cries for heros left unsung

Look at me when I'm talking to you

Look at me in the eyes

Then look away and tell me why...why

Another tasteless movie

Another kiss goodnight

Could be a dark oasis in my life

Another icon smashed to pieces

By yesterday's romance

Another hated person no more chances

Look at me when I'm talking to you

Look at me in the eyes

Then look away and tell me why...why

Playin' with a happy boy

A cold place for a man

Familiar faces in a foreign land

The hands kept spinning around the face

But the earth stopped cold at dawn

For a moment, then moved on

For a moment, then moved on...

Honeyscrew lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Fly inside

Feel me dealing

Holding on to a story just told

About a man who's the life of a funeral

Grabbing on to a woman who's soul

He just stole for a dream he don't believe in

Now she sits and she yells for a smile

"Don't let the sun make me feel lonely"

Oh let me in let me in let me in

Is it me

Or is it honey

We all seem to hold

To Something we don't see

Is He here

Is He there

Where does He live

Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat

Some people say in the mind of a stranger

I can't explain what it is I believe in

So take your heart take your mind and escape

Is it me

Or is it honey

Is it me

Or is it honey

Is it me trying to raise your little children

Is it me trying to take your little flame

Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away

Let me scream let me scream let me scream

Don't take it away

Another day in the arms of the real thing

Another day in the eyes of a fool

I called today just to make me feel hopeless

Lie to me and I'll try to believe

Let It Breathe lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Could we do it again

If he asked how it felt

And I didn't say this time

You tried to scare me with empty thoughts

That means not a thing

'Cause I'm down behind you

Could we swing it again

If I changed how he looked

And turned to the right to bend

You live with something that I can't explain

But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining

You feel things in your own way

And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you

I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see

I don't want to be you

You don't want to be me.

Just let it breathe

If the moon goes up tomorrow and I'm down on a farm

And you don't believe whose writing with me

Keep your hands to yourself

Keep your mind to yourself

Keep your breath to yourself

Let me float on by you

You see things in your own way

And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you

I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see

You don't want to be me

I don't want to be you

It's so very necessary

It's so delectable to see a stone

It's so impossible to find a reason

When you're standing there

Watching me now

Could we live it again

If we dressed just the same

And held on to lovers when

We couldn't really live with anyone

See mostly ourselves so just go on lying

You feel things in your own way

And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you

I'm tired of bailing hay for someone that I can't see

I don't want to be you

You don't want to be me

Just let it breathe

Let it breathe

Silly Little Pop Song lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

One thing's for sure

I just can't find the way

To let it seem like all is wrong

Inside my den

Hold back

Breathe easy

She said to me

Go somewhere and change your mind

Just let me sleep

I've been living in a lesson

Please just come inside and listen

Is it anger at life

Or are you happy to be with me

Are you seeing someone

Or will your faith

Go with no other man

Come on

Let me dream

I've been living in a lesson

Please just come inside and listen

No need to worry 'bout all the lying

Please just come inside

It's a thing

To make me want to go

See another

That makes me doubt

I've been living in a lesson

Please just come inside and listen

No need to worry about all the lyin'

All the changing

Please just come inside

Fool lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Saw you last night

you were sleeping in my mind

Doubting you'll ever be free again

Then I climbed back inside

Someone open my eyes

To find me drunk again

Bonnie on the radio

And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"

Every night there is one more

Every night there is two more

Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain

I think I better grow up now or go insane

There's so much I feel

So much I conceal

There's just so many things I can be

Someone write the story of 5 points

No one wanted to know me

Now they all have opinions of what we do

So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two

Can't write a story from the trees

I know somewhere she's watching me

Saying "Boy carry your load"

Oh I don't want to go back on the road now

There's so much I feel

So much I conceal

There's just so many places to see

And faces I can read

There's just so many things I can be

When I'm Lonely lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Eyes like an infant

Staring me down

She'll take anything that's tied up

In my glorious past

It's just 4 days 'til Sunday

When I say that I'm gone

Little one screams you cry

Tell the pain to leave me alone

It's just 2 days 'til Monday

Another week 'til the 4th

Is anyone listening or

Should I call on the Lord

Sometimes I breathe

Sometimes I see

Then I dream a dream that won't come true

And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely

Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.

It wasn't you so I let her in

Just to see what she wanted

She left screaming because I called her by your name

But the next day she came to call

And we finished our game

Alright now

Some days I breathe

Some days I see

Then I dream a dream that won't come true

And I struggle with time when I'm lonely

Shep plays piano down in

Shandon on the other side of Rosewood

You said he wasn't your type

But you went anyway

You left screamin' cause you thought you would

Call him by my name

Ah and you whisper

Why do I do this

I can't go through this why do I do this, why

Sometimes I breathe

Sometimes I see

Then I dream a dream that won't come true

And I struggle with life when I'm lonely

She Crawls Away lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I fall in she sees me and smiles

Then she starts to hate herself again

She screams something under her breath

That I wouldn't know if she said it outloud

She turns over to start a conversation

With a man that noone else can see

She dreams of loving me sometimes

And it makes me see what we've been missing

It's like I never knew anyone so strong before

She Brings the man outa me

And she makes me see that they don't matter

I believe

We see her playin' with another

She runs around you and then

It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

She wears white pants a Miami sweater

Says that She loves the O's

So Uncle Dean will come by

Her smile is like sunshine

Her tears hurt like leather

She runs the show she lets me know

Says it's all about being the only

It's like someone said you could have one good thing in your life

She couldn't be your type

I didn't plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin'

I believe, we see her layin with another

She runs around you and then

It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

Where were you yesterday

Now that my heart is wild and free

And my lips have room to wander

How can I say your needing me now

When I've got a plan

I know you don't understand why my heart is sorry know

I believe

We see her laying with another

She runs around you and then

it's like the sun goes down and she crawls

I believe

We see her waiting with another

She runs around you and then

it's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

So Strange lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It's so hard to breathe right now

Living things without a friend of mine

Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind

You thought you could feel

And it's maybe 6 a.m.

And no one wants to be with me

So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well

Ohh, I'm free

If I can't find the warmth in my summer

And I can't find the light in my day

I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away

You make me feel so strange

Won't you let me breathe the air

I want to hold on to right now

Won't you let me read a book about

Someone's queen who came back for me

I see bridges in my eyes

I see mornings left for the children

I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away

And it makes me scream and I pray

If you can't find the warmth in my summer

And I can't find the light in my day

I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away

You make me feel so

It can never end 'cause we don't speak

It will never just die

So why don't you call the man

And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride

If you can't find the warmth in my summer

And I can't find the light in my day

I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away

You make me feel so strange

If you can't find the warmth in my summer

And I can't find the light in my day

I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away

Tootie lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

You put a rose in my hand

Put a dollar in my pocket

But you don't understand

How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night

I see the morning but you won't see the light

I thought about you for a long, long time

I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme

And now you're lying here

But my heart still beats for you

Had a dream about you

You sat right down beside me

And you told me we were through

It was all so real and you told me reasons why

You brought me to the window

And you taught me how to fly

I thought about you for a long, long time

I said I love you but we just don't have the time

And now you're lying here

But my heart still beats for you

I thought to hold you for a long, long time

You said I love you but my heart won't seem to chime in

And now you're lying here

And my heart still beats for you...I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you

The Sad Caper lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I know she said

Before you left me you were free

So I'll just lay me down

Control has left me

And I can't feel another thing

So let me turn around

Do you really want to play these games

Just to keep things going

Or are you ready now to let it be

It's like sometimes you want to see the rain

But the sun gets in your eyes

And you want to die now

Control has left me

And I can't feel another thing

So let me turn around

I see I see

But things just couldn't be the same

So let me hold you down

Never let me down I swore to you

But now I lied

I'm here to make it all seem worth while

You want I know

But I'll have to try

To find a way to make me quiet now

Control has left me

And I can't feel another thing, so let me turn around

I see I see

But things just couldn't be the same

So won't you hunt her down

I know she said

Before you left me you were free

So I'll just lay me down
