Make this whole thing come together
with your false alarmin'.

you want a piece of me.

So we're waiting and not frustrating,

I know what you want,

ben kweller - apparition of purity

She lives in ether
Flies to me at night time
Makes everything better, got everything together
She is mine

She stares in holy trance
And she really likes to fly
Gives me angelical, then we start to dance
Purple skies

She is the angel that will one day save me
Apparition of purity

She stares in holy trance
And she really likes to fly
Gives me angelical, then we start to dance
Purple skies

I miss her so
I will never ever let go
Not today

I miss her so
I will never ever let go
There is no way

ben kweller - believer

When you're hurt you heal others.
When you're in need you give.
Because of you I am living the most that I can live.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
your power surrounds me.

Remember me, don't forget me,
I have something true.
My path is dark, my steps uncertain, unless I walk with you.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
your power surrounds me.

Your power surrounds me

You speak to me without speaking.
You touch so I can feel.
With your strength I am stronger, at last I know I'm real.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
your power surrounds me.

Your power Oh

Whoa sweet darling girl
I'm so glad that you found me.
I'm so glad that you found me, yeah you did
and your power surrounds me.

ben kweller - better with you

Throw it into the air
Take that last yellow
Ride downtown anywhere
Go so fast
Still come in last
Always comin' in last

Me
I don't know where I'd be
Without someone to see
This thing through

I am such a mess
Even at my best
I'm better with you

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Oh oh oh oh oh

Everybody knows
14 million ants are marching
Lonely as they go
Underground,
Round and round
City lights in your head

Life
This world is a crazy place
But when I see your face
It's shining anew

I don't even care
Just take me anywhere
Cause it's better with you

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Me
I don't know where I'd be
Without someone to see
This thing trough
Just stay here by my side
I know this and this ride
Is better with you
It's better with you
It's better with you

ben kweller - bk baby

Stop, collaborate and listen
BK's back with my brand new invention
Something grabs ahold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Would it ever stop, yo I dont know
Turn on the light and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock the mic like a vandal
Light up the stage and watch me jump like a candle

Damn, I'm kickin that boon
Her poison's like a poisonous mushroom
If there is a problem yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice, ice, baby, too cold to hold
Ice, ice, baby, too cold to hold

Rolling in my gray Volvo
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
Girlies on standby waiting just to say hi
Did I stop?
No I just rode by

Should I stop, hey I don't know
Turn on the light and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock the mic like a vandal
Light up the stage and watch me jump like a candle

Damn, I'm kickin that boon
I'm poisonous like a poisonous mushroom
If there is a problem yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice, ice, baby, too cold to hold
Ice, ice, baby, too cold to hold

Dr Dre ain't got nothin on me
Or the Snoop D - O - double - G

ben kweller - cally

Verse 1:
You and me forever
County fair lines fill,
I?m waitin for the ferris wheel,
Seth has gone to the top,
And he?s gonna cop a feel,
80?s metal on the PA,
Pour some sugar on me.

Chorus:
Caaaaaaally,
You are pretty clever,
Say you?ll stay with me,
You and me forever.

Verse 2:
Pop the balloon with my red dart,
A new moon Candy can love,
And they were out of the strange park,
So I got a free monster truck,
Funnel cakes and root beer,
We?ll be back next year,
Let?s get married.

Outro:
Caaaaaally,
Lead me to the land of never,
Say you?ll stay with me,
You and me forever.

Caaaaaally,
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly,
You and me,
You and me,
You and me,
Forever.

ben kweller - commerce tx

I got a bad flavor
I got dirty clothes
I got a strange neighbor
who doesn't have curtains on her windows

I got a pet hedgehog
drinkin' jaeger all day
you got me crate combo and a baby on the way
but it's ok

It's gonna take a lot of time
before I can cross that finish line
and when I can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call

ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah

That's my new best friend
ann disaster's her name
we're passin' out on the carpet
and our attributes are the same

It's the slacker lifestyle
that we do so well
bills are due on monday
I'm oblivious, can't you tell

It's gonna take a lot of time
before I can cross that finish line
and when I can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call

My brain is super-fried
it involves pain to look inside

It's gonna take a lot of time
before I can cross that finish line
and when I can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call

ben kweller - debbie don t worry doll

Darling, come here
I need to talk to you
My mamma's ill
So I'm going back to Texas
But we can only afford
But one bus ticket
You know I might be gone
For some time

Debbie, don't worry doll
Cause you'll always be mine

Cry on my tummy
And be understanding (understand now)
You know things like this
Just aren't how I plan it
But let me tell you
We're never apart
Cause you live in my heart
And I still get lonely

But I know we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
Cause you'll always be mine

I hate her knowing
I must be going
My mamma's dying
She's a-crying, "help me"

I gotta go, no Ben no,
What if you find a new love
In the heartland?
Oh baby, I'm not that kind of man
And you'll always be mine
Mine

I'm not believing
You're a-leaving
Who am I holding
When I get cold in December

I love you
What if you
Never do
Come back at all? (all)

Debbie don't worry, doll
Hey
I love you, and that's all (all)

You know that we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
And you'll always be mine (mine)
You're the best girl of all time
And you'll always be mine

Let's go, boys

ben kweller - different but the same

There's no time to phone home when you're
racing your own time.
You contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn.
Up the noise with some poison with great poise.
You can't compare it to
Or let it scare you through
If every thing you do is not as smoothly as we planned.

You gotta understand there is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
they're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.

And you'll take home the gold medallion
and ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came

to your senses to feel it out
And try to kill off every doubt.
Your mother worries but no one worries quite like you.
And when you start you must rely on your own heart.
Cause nothing works the same
or takes the blame or wins the game
with your head in your hands in the pouring rain.
I wanna see you as you are
like a lonely star.

There is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
they're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.

And you'll take home the gold medallion
and ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came.

You gotta be so strong, you gotta teach your son
how to stand up straight when you want to run,
how to care and love, how to be yourself,
to be different but the same.

ben kweller - down

I am empty and I'm tired
and I'm homesick and inspired.
I can't know everything that you know
'cause I'm learning as I go.
I wanna see your love.

When I wake up I'm the same
'cause I sleep well when I dream away.
Bluebird house on fire like an only child.
I wanna see your love.

When I'm in your arms
nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl,
nothing can bring me down.

All the fires on the ground
are laughing with their cracking sound.
I don't fight, I don't scream.
I don't listen to anything.
I wanna see your love.

When I'm in your arms
nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl,
nothing can bring me down.

I am selfish without you,
I'm over and you're always new.
I'll never let you down from your tower
or take away your crown.

When I'm in your arms
nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl,
nothing can bring me down.

Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.

ben kweller - falling

Wind is cold alright back in Dallas. The neon light from the building lets you know you're home.
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my friend or you'd call me. I'd understand, it's true.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Wait there, I'll be right back. Down in Times Square it's a heart attack. All the feeling makes you feel so new.
Trees fall and so do men. Even the walls start caving in and you feel like there's no pretend for you.

BUt I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

We could talk if days weren't so fast,
and mistakes just leave it so unsure.
Wanna hold you like never before
'case we're falling and I love you more and more.

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

ben kweller - family tree

Bop bop.
Care about the moonlight
and holding you tight
and asking my questions.
Everyone loves a situation.

Long walks on the beach.
The press will impeach.
Lately I'm finding
I am the book and you are the binding.

I guess they'll read everything about you.
Though the press might shoot me down I'm still true.
I sell my book for free. That's what you do to me.

Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me
Take care of me.

Bop bop.
There's hotels in the sea,
Trash in the sky.,
The net-dustry's growing.
Stick to love songs kid, that's all you're knowing.

They push you away
or tie you up.
It don't really matter.
But if your head is up you won't get much sadder.

But who am I to preach a word or two
when I can't lift my own head without you?
If my mental state kept you from coming around
I hope the world would shoot me down for losing you.
A broken branch I'd be if you weren't grown to me.

Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Take care of me.

Bop bop.

ben kweller - free

Everybody wants the password
Everybody wants the green light
Everybody wants the eye drops
That make the colors of the future bright
But I don't need any answers
To get me through another 24
â??cause anytime I have the gold key
I get locked outside of another door

Be sure that you wanna be free
Be sure that you wanna be free

Got a glimpse of the fortune
Not as good as comin' home
Wish the â??headman's handbookâ?
Was nothin' that I ever, ever owned
But it's too late for anger
And there's no more time for lady luck
She's lookin' for a stranger
All she wants to do is...

Be sure that you wanna be free
Be sure that you wanna be free

Everybody wants the last word
â??cause they cannot tell when it's through
Desperately delivered to you...
We got too many people
Standin' still like nothin's wrong
We all came to throw away the hassle
But the lines was too long.

Be sure that you wanna be free
Be sure that you wanna be free

ben kweller - full circle

As I burned all the books I read
I recalled somethin' someone somewhere said;
â??there's so much in us you don't see.â?
Don't judge anyone because every-

-body comes full circle. I've come full circle.

Sand-shark tooth girl won't cry for you
She's the kind of girl you just can't bite through
Throws you into her mindless maze
Locks you up for days, then she sits and says

â??I've come full circle.â? I've come full circle.

Runnin' â??round pullin' out yer hair
When you're sittin' there in that captain's chair
One eye always up on the fuzz
Now I'm havin' fun sittin' shotfun â??cause

I've come full circle, I've come full circle.

Promenade, wooo brooklyn heights to the marfa lights
Open sky, wooo, lay me down let yer sweetness surround
Electricity ground, I just can't believe how

I've come full circle, I've come full cir ...
I've come full circle, I've come full cir ...
I've come full circle, I've come full circle!

ben kweller - girl in between

I dont care what you wear,
you seem safe and sound,
just cool it and dont forget about me when I'm down.

hey, hey, hey,
you're the girl in between,
it was ok until you came clean,
I thought that life was but a dream.

Caviar, reservoir, uh huh a dime i'm in.
beneath the dance consequence,
hence you're back with him.

hey, hey, hey,
you're the girl in between,
it was ok until you came clean,
I thought that life was but a dream.

My mirror is cracked,
7 years no reflection,
I saw you smile,
it's a sign of perfection,
enigmas always seek,
when you guess the way that people think,
didis lookin down,
universal sound.

hey, hey, hey,
you're the girl in between,
hey, hey, hey
you dont know what it means,
it was ok, until you came clean,
I thought that life was but a dream.
