1.Hello Rain
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Packing boxes all night
Reading letters from you for the last time
For real
Leaving you behind was easy
Now I know how little you feel
Now I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
Thought I'd thrown them all away
Finding one last souvenir behind
My bureau drawer
Feeling sad all on my own
I don't need you for that anymore
And I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
You can't stand to see me losing
All my precious sinlessness
Now my heart is out of your hands
You couldn't possibly want it back
Any less
Now I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
So goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
Goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
2.I Love You More
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
There's no competing with him
I can't keep you warm like that
I can't love you the way he does
I can only love you more
There's no convincing me
That you'll still talk to me like you did
I can't bear to see you like this
It makes me love you more
And more than anything ever
You're beautiful and always so clever
You're everything good, I hope that I might be
I hope he sees even half of what I see
There's nothing keeping you with me
You can go away with him
There's no sense in rubbing it in
It makes me love you more
I can't compete with that boy
I can't make you feel like that
I can't love you the way he does
I can only love you more
And more each time you ignore me
This jealousy is starting to bore me
You can have him and I'll have my own
Or maybe I'd just rather end up alone
3.Charms Around Your Wrist
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
I've been away and suddenly
You're a poet musing my return
What I did while I was gone
Is none of your concern
You can write that I have changed
From how I was back then
Just don't think that you could ever cry to me again
You can add this to your growing list
Of heartfelt disappointment worn
Like charms around your wrist
You're taking pictures every time I turn away
Cutting pasting and making fun of everything I say
You can tell the whole wide world I don't know anything
Just remember that everything I say I might not mean
You can add this to your growing list
Of heartfelt disappointment worn
Like charms around your wrist
And it's so sad if I was all you had
That wasn't how I planned it
It doesn't help you to demand it
If it's not there
You can add this to your growing list
Of heartfelt disappointment worn
Like charms around your wrist
You can add this to your growing list
Of heartfelt disappointment worn
Like charms around your wrist
4.Could I
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
How could I let you do this again
How could I let myself be sucked into this thing
Called friends
How could I let you hurt me this way
Torturing myself day after day after day
You'd have thought I'd learned by now
Want to let you go but don't know how
How could I let you kiss me like that
All of my hopes up only to be squashed flat
How could I think that you'd love me too
You're just a scared boy, the only kind that will do
I hope you'll soon lose your charm
That might save my heart from harm
5.Until You Tell
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Since you asked me not to go I won't
But if you asked me if I know why
I'd have to say I don't
So silly me I thought you were the one
Silly me are you having fun
And a promise is a promise still
If I have to stay up all night I will
Waiting here in the dark until you tell
You're stumbling over what you say
And if I haven't hurt your feelings then
Why do you act this way
So silly me I thought you were the one
Silly me are you having fun
And a promise is a promise still
If I have to stay up all night I will
Waiting here in the dark until you
Tell me when did this get old
When did you get so cold
I'm losing trying to figure how
And please don't try to spare my heart
It's much too late to start
Caring what I'm feeling now
Excuse me if I've lost my smile
I'm a little disappointed and this
Might take me a while
So silly me I thought you were the one
Silly me are you having fun
And a promise is a promise still
If I have to stay up all night I will
Waiting here in the dark until you tell
Until you tell
Until you tell
6.An Awful Mess
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
Somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
Into an awful mess if you loved her any less
She would go
I know that she's done this before
With someone else, another place
That must have been the last time
That I saw a smile on her face
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
Into an awful mess if you loved her any less
She would go
If you run away then she'll go there too
She'll be with you 'till the end of the world
And beyond
Somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
Somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
She's saving it up, it's pulling her down
Into an awful mess if you loved her any less
She would go
7.This House

8.It's Love
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
You're a sure sign of heaven above
And you're past the line between I like and I love
But I'm trusting you to always be mine and be true
And there's no reason we can't call it what it is
It's love it's love, it's love it's love
There's a good chance any time of the day
I'll be thinking of you in the nicest way
I haven't slept in days and I know that I'll feel this always
And there's no reason we can't call it what it is
It's love it's love, it's love it's love
I can't help but tell everyone
This is the best thing I've ever done
I owe you everything
You turned my winter to spring
This must be love
9.Alaska
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
I don't want to move to alaska
I won't marry you there or any place
This country life you've been talking about
Won't fancy your much too pretty face
Oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
You can go without me
And do whatever you want to
In time I'd surely grow lonesome
You would no doubt become bored
Desperate for company other than mine
And luxuries I can't afford
Oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
You can go without me
And do whatever you want to
It might have been a nicer place to be
If you'd been nicer to me
Oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
You can go without me
And do whatever you want to
Do whatever you want to
Do whatever you want to do
10.Fragile, Don't Crush
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Last time I wrote you I meant to say sorry
I didn't mean for your eyes to get starry
Trying to say it got stuck in my throat
But I meant every word that I wrote
Next time I see you I'm sure you'll be better
Easily past the effects of my letter
It looks not so sad written down
And it lessens with each passing town
It's fragile
Fragile like you
Like you
Breaking your heart was not what I hoped for
I've said too much and can't possibly say more
Maybe that's not being fair
So it's lucky I'm here and you're there
Put it inside your cigar box forever
And maybe someday you'll forgive me for never
Doing what you wanted most
But you can't send true love through the post
It's fragile
Fragile like you
Like you
11.Heart Condition
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Fireworks the night that we were going
To meet tiffany
Flashbulbs popped and all the stars
Fell into the sea
Or was it a river you were walking
Single file with me
Oh my goodness what a charming personality
Heart condition, you give me a heart condition
My days are full and nights are planned but I just
Want to be with you
Let's go out and shoplift low top converse tennis shoes
Hey I heard your favorite colors
Are brown and baby blue
Or I mean it when I say that this
Brand new love is true
Heart condition, you give me a heart condition
My head is in the clouds and I'm not even tall
You're the one for me, boy there's no doubt at all
Heart condition, you give me a heart condition
12.Follow Me
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
Something you said is on my mind
I'm the one you thought you'd never find
A sudden coastal holiday makes you see me in a
Different way
Your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
Listing off my favorite things
You say I have too many dreams
But first I wished and now it's true
I'm becoming awfully fond of you
Your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
You didn't know me and still you called
I didn't find it strange at all
Seeming like the thing to do
I knew it then and so did you
Your voice was so hollow
I'm glad you've come to follow me
Follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me
13.I Can't Get No Satisfaction, Thank God
Lyrics:Talulah Gosh
Music:Talulah Gosh
14.Perfect Afternoon
Lyrics:The Softies
Music:The Softies
On a perfect afternoon
Thinking you would be there soon
By the evening time
It was obvious you were no longer mine
You should have written, you might have called
You should have never led me on at all
But you were always a few days ahead of me
And there was always someone else instead of me
Instead of me
Sitting perfectly still
Barely fighting off the chill
Feeling cold, feeling dumb
It was becoming clear that you wouldn't come
You should have written, you might have called
You should have never made this plan at all
But you were always a few days ahead of me
And there was always someone else instead of me
Instead of me
