Jewel - 2 Find U - lyrics

If I asked u a question
Would u look me in the eyes?
Has our love been built on lies?
Well, why I'm asking
U see, the time is now
2 turn our backs forever
Or work this through somehow
And I want 2 see u
I want 2 feel new again
[CHORUS]
Hey, U
Do not walk away
Let's choose love, come on
What do u say?
Hey, U
Know that I would spend
My whole life all over again
2 find U
We've layered hurt on hurt
I've seen pain cloud your eyes
But we are bruised, not broken
Like a phoenix, love will rise
And do U see me?
Do u feel new again?
[CHORUS]
Look in my eyes
Kiss my mouth hard
Let your conviction
Reassure my heart
Promise me now
I'll promise U, too
I love u

Jewel - Abcd - lyrics

It's not a, do i love you
It's not b, do i love to hold you
It's not c, do i care for you
It's just d, all of the above

Jewel - Adrian - lyrics

Adrian came home again last summer
Things just havent been the same around here
And people talk and people stare
Oh, adrian, come out and play
An unfortunate accident in a canoe
Doctor said, Im sorry, not much I can do
And the air was so still and his eyes, they did not blink
Oh, adrian, come out and play
Little mary epperson liked him
And she vowed always to watch after him
But still he did not move and the doctor said its no use
Oh, adrian, come out and play
She sat by his side and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Everyone in town had that Im so sorry look
They talked in a whispered hush, said Id turn the machines off
But still she sat by his side, she said, life he wont be denied
Oh adrian, come out and play
Yellow flowers decorate his bedroom
Sign above his door says welcome home
But he just sits and stares
Hes awake but still not there
Oh, adrian, come out and play
She sat by his side and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
She wondered why he was still alive at all
And little mary apperson grew up lovely
And she still comes to visit him on sundays
Hes like an unused toy
Hes got big hands but the mind of a little boy
Oh, adrian, come out and play
Adrian came home again last summer
Things just havent been the same around here

Jewel - Afraid It's Too Late - lyrics

She sits at the window
All dressed in white
Been a long time since shes cried
Tears called ....tumbling down
She remembers her childhood brown
Shes afraid its too late
She steps out on the porch
Takes a minute from her day
Just like when she was a child
To listen what the wind would say
She was carefree like the children are today
Say, ? ? loves you, wont you come out and play
Shes afraid its too late
When she was a child
She had crowns hiding gold
With such awe, each flower she did hold
And she...the grass beneath her feet
How she hated things that were already late
They took away her laughter
They took away her crown
They said hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground
She said oh, but they are
They say well laughter wont pay your bills
A flower fell from her hand, falling still
They taught her to be respectable
Responsible somehow
They taught her to be in every....
She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet
Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty
Shes afraid its too late
She takes one last moment
Before going inside
She takes a coat
To dry her eye
She ... and it all becomes clear
Its probably laughter that gets you what you need
....more than here
Shes afraid its too late
La la la la
La la da da laaah

Jewel - A long slow slide - lyrics

Lights are bright in the circus
The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes and laugh at your misery
While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart
The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down
Once the neon is gone
There's still that golden splinter at your side
His manners are charming
But who are you fooling
You're still nobody's bride
And Bukowski's widow
Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel
As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down
And outside your window you can see the circus it's lurching
with rings of smoke
You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline
Not realizing they've made you the joke
And inside you're heart a war is raging
A region still untamed
The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named
Is for the mystery to be named
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down

Jewel - A Housewife's Revenge - lyrics

Seems like that man took my heart
[feels]
Laid it neatly out before him on the floor
Then he put on the biggest
Heaviest winter boots he had
And stomped on it for three hours,
Maybe four
And I hope his sorrells are ruined forever
Cause you know he knows how to push my every button
Get down to my last nerve
Like the other day he forgot to put his beer can
In the recycling bin
And he meant to do it on purpose Im sure
So I might just have to tell him
Why his dog, ralph, that ran away three years ago
Wont be coming home again
Cause you know he walks around the house
In his underwear
Whenever my girlfriends come around
And perhaps if he were good looking
I might feel a bit jealous, overzealous
But all I feel is embarrassed
Looking at him standing there
And I hope he never finds his left slipper
And my psychiatrist says I should tell him how I feel
He says, oh great, I gotta listen to her snivel again
So I have these little unfulfilled fantasies
Of putting arsenic in his teacup
Wed see whod be laughing then
If only he was the type to drink tea
Now I hear him come up the driveway
In his el camino
With its black with a red-flame firebird on front
He keeps the keys to himself
He wont take me out to the movies
Cause of football
So Ill just hold out on something else
Ill never cook him another single hungry man tv dinner again
I say, listen man, you better treat me with some
R-e-s-p-e-c-t
Cause I gotta a whole lotta what you need
Then a whole lot besides, and then still a whole lot more
He said, yeah, if you were talking about your weight
That might be true - but otherwise all you give me is
Headache and heartburn
So I took his hungry man tv dinner and his sorrels
So I took his left slipper and his hungry man tv dinner
And I spit on his sorrels as I walked out the door.
And I spit on him as I walked out the door
By the way, your dog ralph wont be coming home again

Jewel - 2 Become 1 - lyrics

I watch u while you're sleeping
Messy hair, chest bare, moonlight on your skin
I wanna breathe u in
In the silence, words come easy
I can tell u now just how simple it's been 2 let u in
Don't move, this mood is a painting
We'll never find the same thing
[CHORUS]
Love, do not make a sound
Melt into me now
2 become 1
Love is so close 2 hurting
With a shake we could wake from our own dreaming
But we must make a vow
'Cause I have waited a lifetime
Now is the right time
[CHORUS]
Love, let's make time stand still
Let this moment last until
2 become 1
Like a bird owns its wings
Like a song belongs 2 melody
U belong 2 me
I fold your arms around me
Let your flesh, your breath, your love, surround me
Oh, u feel like home
[CHORUS]

Jewel - A Boy Needs A Bike - lyrics

Pop works in the shop til eight
Moms on the phone and shes kind of irate
Sallys doing sommersaults on the lawn
Pop slams open the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She says, "what the hell did you do that for? "
He washes his dirty hands in the sink
And things around the table are kind of rough
Mom says its pa
Pa says, "the times are just tough"
And me and sally dont say much of nothing at all
The garage door light brightens up the night
Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
As though he could figure out that woman by working on that
Old car
He said a car can cure any problem at all
Cause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small
But I wish hed just put me and sally in the backseat and
Drive us away
Thats when he sits me down
He says hes gonna teach me about life
He said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"
I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon
But if it were me
Id have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And Id ride away so fast, so far
Ride away... so fast, so far
Put away our tools
We go back inside
Mom feels left out and now shes starting to cry
I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
I wish pops would just get a spine
I said I know its kind of small but you can borrow mine
He just smiled and said, "your mom means well son"
Most times are good its just some that are lean
But its love that makes up for those times in beteween
He got a tear in his eye as he took mammas hand
Said one day Id understand
But if it were me
Id have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And Id ride away so far, so fast
Ride away so fast so far
Ride away

Jewel - 1,000 Miles Away - lyrics

Its morning time, wonder where you are
Wonder who youre talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
Its morning time, I miss your hands on my skin
This beds too big without you
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and Im lying next to you.
The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe its my battery, maybe its my starter,
Maybe my hearts too weak
Theres just this feeling, thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
But now I dont know how to get home.
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Mama says take my vitamins,
Daddy says girl, dont stay out so late
Sister says theres other fishes in the sea
But love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
These fields stretch out like patchwork, on my grannys quilt
She used to tell me that
Life is a series of strange and mysterious things
One minute you think youre up, the next you find youre down
Your mind says girl, you gotta stick around
But your heart says Im too weak in the knees
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Jewel - 501 Beauty Queen - lyrics

Shes got nice lips, a seductive smile
Shes still as thin as a beanpole,
With a little less class, but a little more style
And she spends all her time trying not to hear you
What she doesnt want to know
Dont wanna know
And theres kelloggs in the cupboard
She takes a heart down from off the shelf
She passes by the mirror
She doesnt like to look at herself
Cause shed rather lose touch with reality
Than lose her fantasy
Her fantasy
And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
Shes comin undone at the seams
And its her last chance to make a statement
Its her last (note/no Ive recieved? )
Shes a 501 beauty queen
And theres flowers on the table
Shes lovely, shes lovely not
But circles only make the hunger grow
So she goes out a lot
And shes out there just a runnin around
Trying to make up some lost time
Lost time
And she sits down for a social call
Like a princess she puffs on a cigarette
Her beauty is all threadbare now
But shes never gonna let them forget
Casue my how she looked smashing in her gold lame tank top
With the fancy beadwork on front
The beadworks on front
But her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
Shes comin undone at the seams
And its her last chance to make a statement
Its her last (note/no Ive recieved/i percieve? )
Shes a 501 beauty queen
And a voice chimes like a bell in the night
That just dont know when to quit
She used to have more options
Now she wishes that shed already picked
And she wishes she couldnt remember
All those things shell never forget
Never forget.
And the lines they all go deeper than the days of her youth
She flirts and lies and always denies what to her is no longer of any
Use
But its not because she hates what she doesnt understand
She just dont understand
And her fire? is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
Shes comin undone at the seams
And its her last chance to make a statement
Its her last (note/no? Ive receive? /at the seat? )
Shes a 501 beauty queen
