01. So Yesterday
You can change your life - if you wanna
You can change your clothes - if you wanna
If you change your mind
Well, that's the way it goes
But I'm
gonna keep your jeans
And your old black hat - cause I wanna
They look good on me
You're never gonna get them back
At least
not today, not today, not today
'cause
[Chorus:]
If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it
off let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay
You can
say you're bored - if you wanna
You can act real tough - if you wanna
You can say you're torn
But I've heard enough
Thank you...
you made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Do you see a single tear
It isn't gonna happen here
At least not today, not today, not today
'cause
[Chorus]
If you're
over me, I'm already over you
If it's all been done, what is left to do
How can you hang up if the line is dead
If you wanna walk, I'm a step ahead
If you're moving on, I'm already gone
If the light is off then it isn't on
At least not today, not today, not today
'cause
[Chorus
2X]
02. Come Clean
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect
didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy
[Chorus:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind
[Chorus]
I'm coming
clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...
[Chorus
x2]
Let's go
back
Back to the beginning
03. Workin' it Out
Some days I start off draggin' my feet
Some days I want to fly
Some days it all makes sense to me
Some days I just don't want to know why
[CHORUS:]
Hey, hey- I'm not giving up, no
Gonna stand up and shout it
Oh oh oh no way im not slackin off or backing out or cracking
up with dougt
I'm workin' it out out
I'm workin' it out
Sometimes
I'm just surrounded by friends
Sometimes we've never met
Sometimes I pray for something I need
But hey, you never know what you're gonna get
and
[CHORUS]
[Spoken:]
It's hard enough to be what you are
Harder to be what you're not
It's hard to know what you need to get
Harder to know what you've got
[CHORUS
2X]
04. Little Voice
I won't tell you what I'm thinking
'Cause it's not the same thing you're thinking too
You could say I got a best friend
And she's always telling me what to do
She's out
of sight but easy to find
She's in the front of my mind
[CHORUS:]
The little voice in my head won't let me forget
The little voice in my head is never misled
All of this noise is what keeps me from making a mess
The little voice in my head just won't let me get with you
La lala
la la......
When I see
you I admit
I start to lose my grip and all of my cool
You smell so sweet just like my perfume
What have you been doing since I left you
You're always
there in my thoughts
But that doesn't mean that it's on
[CHORUS]
I know I
sound insane, like I'm playing games
'Cause all I really want is you
But there are some things a girl won't do
[CHORUS]
05. Where Did I Go Right?
I'm always too late
I see the train leaving
I'm always laughing
When it's not cool to smile
I'm always
aiming
But somehow keep missing
So how did you get here
Something is wrong
[CHORUS:]
Where did I go right
How did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
And you found me
Where did I go right
How did I get you
I don't know how I did
But somehow now I do
I'm always
driving
Forget where I'm going
Should have turned left
But I was singing some song
And I, I am arriving
As everyone's leaving
But there you are waiting
Something is wrong
[CHORUS]
Makes no
sense to me
No it isn't clear
But somehow you're standing here
Something gets to me
It's that nothing is wrong
[CHORUS
2X]
06. Anywhere but Here
When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I was somewhere else
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
Never change the way you are
Trying to
catch your eye
Things will never look the same
Now I can't deny
You're the moth and I'm the flame
There I go again
I should walk before I run
How can I explain
I can't stop what you've begun
[CHORUS:]
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning
up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
What goes
on inside
Is a mystery no doubt
A roller coaster ride
I may never work it out
Here's the brand new me
Skates around and floats on air
I'm a sight to see
Rainbow colors in my hair
You have set me free
The one who gets me there
[CHORUS]
Here is
the place where
My head is spinning
Time is beginning
To race away
You come to throw me
Knock me off my feet
You give me wings to fly
The world goes crashing by again
[CHORUS
2X]
07. The Math
You're always trying to figure out
What I am all about
If you don't know what the answer is
Then just shut up and kiss
It shouldn't
take forever
To put it all together
[CHORUS:]
If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is * 69
Is it a
minus or a plus
Does enough equal enough
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here
Sure I want
someone to understand
But I don't need the stress
I'm not about being analyzed
Like it's some kind of test
Don't have
to be a genius
To figure what's between us
[CHORUS]
You can
spend your whole life analyzing
Justifying, quantifying, and dividing
'Till there's nothing anymore
Why don't you just close your eyes
And kiss my lips and let it go
Just let it flow
It's what I'm waiting for
Don't have
to be a genius
To figure what's between us
[CHORUS
2X]
08. Love Just Is
When the night won't fall and the sun won't rise
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about
Nothing's
ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you
[Chorus:]
Love just is... whatever it may be
Love just is... you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for... love just is
When you
ask to stay and disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace
Some things
never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin sense of you
[Chorus]
Don't ever
ask me for reasons
I can't get to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons
Why I live for you... I just do
[Repeat
second stanza]
[Chorus]
09. Sweet Sixteen
Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care
'Cuz I've
got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere
[Chorus:]
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
Drivin'
down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down
There ain't
nothin' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.
And I've
got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere
[Chorus]
Mamma loves
me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there
[Chorus]
I wanna
know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
[Repeat]
10. Party Up
You are driving me out of my mind
'Cause you take me everywhere but out at night
What more do you need for me to get with you
[Chorus:]
I didn't see this coming
Why don't you start me up?
There's no more messin' around
(Come on and light me up)
This could be the start of something
Why don't you party-up
Time for you to come on down
I dream
about it in my sleep
You seem to like me better when I creep
This time I won't lose
[Chorus]
You roll
me, you use me, you love me and then
You wrap me up and reel me in and use me again
You love me, you hate me, you say it's the end
I know you're gonna do it again and again...
[Chorus
x2]
11. Metamorphosis
I've been so wrapped up in my warm cocoon
But something's happening, things are changing soon
I'm pushing the edge, I'm feeling it crack
And once I get out, there's no turning back
Watching
the butterfly go towards the sky
I wonder what I will become
[Chorus:]
Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis
Things are
different now when I walk by
You start to sweat and you don't know why
It gets me nervous but it makes me calm
To see life all around me moving on
Watching
the butterfly go towards the sky
I wonder what I will become
[Chorus]
[Spoken:]
Every day is a transformation
Every day is a new sensation
Alteration, modification
An incarnation, celebration
Every day is a new equation
Every day is a revelation
Information, Anticipation
Onto another destination
[Chorus]
12. Inner Strength
Gotta find your inner strength
If you can't then just throw life away
Gotta learn to rely on you
Beauty,
strength, and wisdom, too
You're beautiful inside and out
Lead a great life without a doubt
Don't need a man to make things fair
'Cuz more than likely he won't be there
Listen girl, gotta know it's true
In the end all you've got is you
13. Why Not (Bunus Track)
You act like you don't know me {You Think you're going nowhere}
When you see me on the street {When you're walking down the
street}
Yo're makin' like I turn you off {Acting like you just don't
care}
When I know you think I'm sweet {When life could be so sweet}
It don't
have to be like that {Why you wanna be like that}
I guess you're insecure {As if there's nothing new}
If you say what's on your mind {You're not fooling no one}
I might answer "Sure" {You're not even fooling you}
So I walk
a little slower {So I walk a little slower}
And I try to catch your eye {And open up your eyes}
Sometimes it's so hard to see {Sometimes it's so hard to see}
The good things passing by {The good things passing by}
There may
never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right
[Chorus:]
(So) Why Not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Why Not
take a crazy chance [X2]
You always
dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keeping
waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Lets just get in to your car
And go, baby go
[Chorus]
Oh...oh
I could be the one for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes
Maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What Im saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never
get to heaven or even to L.A
If you don't believe me there's a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
[Chorus]
14. A Day In the Sun
Everything's working out fine
You've got all the things you want and I've got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life
And then
you awoke
To start the day out laughing
It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's
waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
City girls
and small town boys
Big time spenders with expensive toys
Pretty people who don't look so good
Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they
try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
[CHORUS]
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's
doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Mama said
'Listen to me,
I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could shine on you'
But they
try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
[REPEAT
CHORUS]
15. Girl Can Rock
Hey!
Ready for
the big time, ready for the small
Whatever's comin' to me, I'll be ready for it all
Sometimes it ain't easy, sometimes its not polite
Some days I don't get it, some days I get it right
[Chorus:]
It's in my heart, it's in my head
Thats what i said
Hey Boys
are you ready for the shock
I'm living proof, the girls can rock
Spread the news around every single block
Hey boys, the girl can rock
Standin'
in the spotlight workin' up a sweat
Givin' all i got and lovin' what i get
I can't hold back what i feel inside
and if i make you nervous, you better step aside
[Chorus]
The girl
can rock
Don't say maybe or call me 'baby'
I ain't crazy at all
[Chorus
2x]
I'm gonna
live it up
I'll never give it up
I'm gonna spread the news around the block
It ain't no shock...the girl can rock [3x]
Yeah, Rock!
