1.Any Way

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

You can take me away from my sorrow
But you can't take away my scars
I stand in the middle of the highway
Playing chicken with the cars
It's not that i'm destructive i
Just want to feel your pain

Chorus:
If there was any way i could have known
I would trip and fall away from you
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you - with you

I wish i could say to you what you are to me
But i know it would make you sad
You are too good to be my lover
But you've been the greatest dad
I ever had
You made my life so lovely i
Just had to mess it up

If there was any way i could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you
With you

If i knew i'd do it twice just to make sure that
I did it right

If there was any way i could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you
With you


2.Every Time

From the album:one, released 4.99

You know, i only shake when
- ever you stand right
Over me like a
Hungry buzzard above my head
Are you hoping i'm really dead, well...
Better shut your mouth
Hold you belly tight
I'm not serving you
Anymore

Chorus:
Every time you come to me
You always have your hand out
And every time you give to me
It's never something i, i, oh i ever need

You say - i never show you my gratitude - well
Thank you so much for
Nothing i ever wanted
How did you know?
You must never listen
My what a lovely rope
Looks the perfect size
But don't ya' think that it makes me look
Too young to die?

Every time you come to me
There's always one condition
And every time you come to me
You always want me to, to bleed, bleed, bleed

Your generosity kills me

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
And every time you give to me
It's never one single thing i
Could ever want or need
I don't need - i don't need
I don't want
What you say you're just giving away
'cause i know nothing's ever
Free


3.Had To

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

Can you tell me
Why have i come?
Why am i in chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think i would be seeing you

Chorus:
And i had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
As if we'd never met and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable

Did it ever hit you to call - no
Phones in your chicago?
There's nothing that i need to convey, just
Maybe a small ”hello” from la

And i had to laugh
You were searching your head
For the right thing to say and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable

I can recall every face that i have ever kissed
How did i fall on your ”miss miscellaneous” list?

And i had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
And i
Had to laugh
When i thought of my fate
It was all i could do
Knowing i had escaped
From you


4.Hello It's Me

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

One more girl on the top of the billboard
One more girl jumping in with the big boys
One more year and i'm still a no one
Waiting for my day in the sun

Chorus:
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?

You filled me with great expectations
Just to hide me in your basement
Did you get from me what you wanted...huh?
Did you lose my telephone number?

Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?

Just ask yourself, ”am i neglecting someone?”

Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?

'til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
'til the sun starts to cry
And the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you

Chorus:
But i need to know - will you stay for all
Time...forever and a day
Then i'll give my heart 'til the end of all
Time...forever and a day

Chorus

'til the storms fill my eyes
And we touch the last time
I will love you, love you...


6.Never Say Never

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

”don't fly into the sun
- your wings will melt and you'll come down”
I say you never know until you try
Away i go to the sun
I'm waving to the ground
I'll see you later

Chorus:
I will go - i will try
Anything one time and i
Never say never - why should i?
I will try - and i will go
Anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why

Who knows tomorrow may never come

I can't conceive the day
I fear the unknown - not me
I dream
Of open windows

And if you never fly your wings are useless

Chorus:
I will go - i will try
Anything one time and i
Never say never - why should i?
I will try - and i will go
Anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why


7.Six Hundred Sixty-six

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

Sell my soul - i'll sell my soul i've
Nothing left to lose
Hurt myself - i'll hurt myself cover
My face with tattoos all of
Painted tears - one for each year that
Only could have been
Anything i can do to keep you
Underneath my skin

Chorus:
Over and over i tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and i'd
Rather be lonely - i'd rather die
Six hundred sixty-six times

By myself - i'm not myself i can't
Be without you
An empty shell - my former self is out
Looking to find you

Over and over i tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and i'd
Rather be lonely - i'd rather die
Six hundred sixty-six times


8.The Life

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

I listened to you from your pedestal
- telling us all how your world was full of shit
Why couldn't you bow and say ”thank you all”
To everyone who made you what you are
It sent my heart, hurt, crashing down
'cause these are my dreams you're bashing

Chorus:
You're living the life
Can't you see you are living the life?
You're living the life that i only dream

The kingdom you own - does it drag you down?
I'll gladly relieve you of your big shiny crown
You say it's so frustrating now
I can't believe you're faking

Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...

Tell me would you really rather be a
Nobody nobody knows?
Oh no?

Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...

'cause this is the way that i fill my heart


9.True North

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

If this ever gets to you
Will you know it's from me?
Or would you think it was a joke
Throw it back to the sea

Chorus:
Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north

If this ever gets to you
Will you please forgive me
I was the one who let you down
It's too late for ”sorry”

Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north

If i told you then
- i'd made it clear
Would you still be here?

Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
