Playlist Rob Thomas

rob thomas - all that i am

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am

I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am

And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am

I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I'm a blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am

And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am

rob thomas - because you

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stay too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stay too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stay too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you

rob thomas - cradlesong

Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
If we can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Ah honey we'll be ok

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place were they belong
Like a favorite song
I don't want to be a faded memory
I don't want to be the ghost that you cant shake
I want to be the real thing

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

Yeah all night long
Yeah all night long
Oh, oh, oh

No one said we were victims honey
No one said we had to keep the things we get
And there ain't no regrets
And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that desperate yet, oh no
Ain't nothing like the real thing

The world can be so cruel
And let me sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song
All night long

This cradle song [x2]

Yeah all night long
Sing it all night long [x2]

Yeah, yeah
All night long

rob thomas - ever the same

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Call on me
I'll be there for you
And you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Call on me
I'll be there for you
And you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
(Ever the same, ah yeah)

rob thomas - fallen

Well there's a woman sitting on the floor
She wonders what she's here for
There's a needle sitting by the door

There's a woman with a hand to god
She's praying for redemption
Her baby's crying, she says
How you gonna be somebody

She used to be with another man
A broken man with a broken promise
And now she wonders what she's for
And she may never know for sure
Yeah, she may never know for sure

bah-bah-bah

CHORUS:
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us

A little girl living on the street
A baby living by the devil's heartbeat
She started selling them when she was just a teen
Now she's got babies of her own

Another mouth that she can't feed
Another life is a pressure that she don't need
And it's been years since she was clean
And this ain't how she used to be
Right now she's only seventeen

CHORUS REPEAT

Bah-bah-bah

Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us, oh
Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us

Bah-bah-bah

Fallen
oh yeah
Fallen
we're falling down
Heaven
oh, heaven help
Help us
heaven help us now
Fallen
oh oh yeah
Fallen
I'm gonna sing it now, now now now
Heaven help us
fallen, oh now now down
Fallen now now now
Fallen
oh yeah
Heaven
oh yeah
Help us

We're fallen down down down down down down down
Yeah, well we're fallen down
Yeah, just fallen
Just fallen down

rob thomas - fallin to pieces

Pray you don't
Lose your place
Dead of night
Underway

All your days
Pass you by
Sun will rise
On your lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights
Pray you sleep tonight, alright
Pray just a little
When every little thing
Starts fallin' to pieces, uh huh

Take my hand
Fall in place
Soul inside
Oh, it shows in every line
That's on your face

Stay with me tonight
Stay, I'm gonna need ya when
Every little thing
Starts fallin' to pieces

Yeah, been around town
Take it down now
Why is it the ones you love
That makes it all so hard on you
Oh, then you let it fall behind
And in the back of your mind
You feel my loving shine
You think you might be saved, ah yeah

Tell me that you want someone beside you
Tell me that you want to see this through
Tell me all the times that I've been loving you
Oh, you love me, love me, love me, love me too

Stay with me tonight
Stay, I'm gonna need ya when
Every little thing
Starts fallin' to pieces

rob thomas - fire on the mountain

Fire on the mountain
Through the freeze
Save yourself
There's evil
In the garden
But you don't see it
I can tell

[Chorus]
How do you sleep while
The city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
There's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
The world moves on
When the world moves on, on

Fire on the mountain
You can feel it
Against your skin
You're standing
By the river
Let the river
Take you in

How do you sleep while
The city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
There's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
The world moves on
When the world moves on
When the world moves on, on Yeah

[X2]
Hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby, take
Her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but
It's getting farther

How do you sleep while
The city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
There's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
The world moves on
When the world moves on, hey
When the world moves on, [x3]
Yeah, oh Yeah, oh yeah world moves on
That world moves on, yeah

rob thomas - gasoline

Oh well, oh well
Guess you've got it all worked out so far
You adjust your reason
Until you see the light from where you are

But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the worst part
You can only say that what you want
Is where you are

You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Oh well, oh well
It never took a lot to make this hard
'Cause you're so off-balance
And I knew all the words to set you off

But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the scorned heart
Then you throw your head back
And you laugh at where we are

You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard to give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline

Oh no, burned like gasoline
Oh no, burned like gasoline

rob thomas - getting late

This life keeps moving on
Gone away before too long
So tell your friends just how you feel
You'd better say it loud for the world to hear

'Cause it's getting late, it's time to go
The paper moon is fading slow
But the night, it keeps moving on
'Til it takes you in; it brings you home

While you're watching over the moments that make up your life

It's getting late that's the way it is
You cant deny when it feels like this
And it's strange whats it's bringing out
You're gonna open up, 'cause you cant stop now

It's getting late, you don't know how
You're wide awake, but you're missing out
You get your kicks, while you can
Then you go to work, to pay the man

While you're watching over the moments that make up your life
It's getting late
It's getting late
It's getting late

rob thomas - give me the meltdown

Feeling worn down
Like a piece of glass
It doesn't take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies, they can swallow them
You don't see just how you got into this situation

Late at night,
late at night you weep for something better than the secret you keep laying down
Just lay down here close to me
and tell me what you want from me

And I said Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Wide awake now
And your monkey is dead
You?re so perfect but you never really need nobody
Put your hands down you?re among your friends
You?re just taking, taking, taking, taking, taking, taking, taking

Late at night,
Late at night you weep but you?re no better than the secrets you keep staying down
Just lay down here close to me
Pretend you?re never leaving me

And I said Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Tell me what you want child

Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, well it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

rob thomas - hard on you

You're the best thing I ever knew
You do everything that I can't do
Sometimes I get lost in my blue
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

You and me got so much to prove
You're the only thing that I can't lose
The nights are peaceful here in our room
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

Cuz I didn't mean to be mean
When I said all the things I said to you
But maybe the worst is the best I can do
With you
And I never want you to go but I know
I've been moving way too slow
And I fall apart cuz it's all that I know

Where you running now baby blue
Please don't let it take me far from you
I've been restless I've been a fool
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

rob thomas - her diamonds

Oh, what the hell, she says, I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times I don't know what I'm doing
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
Well, I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win - it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win - it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
And tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight Â? she'll be alright
She'll be alright
Just not tonight.

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win - it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

Oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win - it's hard
To see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor - no more, no more
Diamonds falling down

I can't take these diamonds falling down

rob thomas - i am an illusion

Take this confusion
Runnin' around my head
Take back my unkind words
Lay that weight on me instead
I'm the place where everything turns sour
Where you gonna run to now

Wrong step
We got off track
We need someone to help us get back now
Worn thin
Awful state I was in
I believe I was losing me now I'm found
Well, I am found

But I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion [2x]

I am the damage
I am the relief
Sometimes I'm people
I never hoped that I would be
If I take in whatever they turn out
What's that gonna make me now
Don't you understand

I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion
Hey, I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion

Wrong step
We got off track
We need someone to help us get back now
Worn thin
Awful state I was in
I believe they were fooling me
Now I'm down
Well, I am down

But I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion [4x]

rob thomas - i ll stop the world and melt with you

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I?ll stop the world and melt with you
You?ve seen the difference and
It?s getting better all the time
There?s nothing you and I won?t do
I?ll stop the world and melt with you

You should know better, dream of better lives
The kind which never hate, you should see why
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace

You should know better, I made a pilgrimage
To save this humans race, you should see why
What I?m comprehending a race that was long gone by

I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)
You?ve seen the difference and
It?s getting better all the time
There?s nothing you and I won?t do
(Let?s stop the world)

I?ll stop the world and melt with you
The future?s open wide
(The future?s open wide)
The future?s open wide

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)
You?ve seen the difference and
It?s getting better all the time
There?s nothing you and I won?t do
(Let?s stop the world)

I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)
I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)
I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)

You?ve seen the difference and
It?s getting better all the time
There?s nothing you and I won?t do
(Let?s stop the world)
I?ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let?s stop the world)
I?ll stop the world, I?ll stop the world

rob thomas - little wonders

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don?t you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don?t mind
If it?s me you need to turn to
We?ll get by,
It?s the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain
