NATALIE IMBRUGLIA

Smoke

My lullaby, hung out to dry, what’s up with that, it’s over...
Where are you dad ? Mum’s looking sad, what’s up with that, it’s dark in here...
Why, bleeding is breathing,
You’re hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing, I used to.
My mouth is dry, forgot how to cry, what’s up with that, you’re hurting me...
I’m running fast, can’t hide the past, what’s up with that, you’re pushing me...
Why, bleeding is breathing,
You’re hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing, I used to.
Why, bleeding is breathing,
You’re hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing, I saw you, crawling on the floor.
Why, bleeding is breathing,
You’re hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing, I saw you crawling to the door.

 

Don’t you think ?

Some people don’t worry ‘bout nothing
Don’t know what’s goin’ on
I’m not one who can’t say they’re sorry
I just care what’s going on
There’s more important things
Than making sure your watch looks just right
And second hand opinions
Don’t make you look any smarter
Don’t you think, don’t you think ?
Don’t you think that maybe
It’s time, yes it’s time
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
And don’t just seventeen up the taste
Brother shoots brother
But meanwhile you’re fixing up your face
You’re not affected by the truth
Unless it’s on your doorstep
Deodorize your paradise
No point in getting crazy
Don’t you think, don’t you think ?
Don’t you think that maybe
It’s time, yes it’s time
Time you started thinking...
‘bout things in the back of your head
Someone said before you turn a blind eye
Hear a bell ring sex sells everything
But I don’t buy it so don’t try it
Sleeping in the small world head in the sand
Better wash your hands, make a new plan
There’s more important things
Than making sure your shoes walk just right
Ignore reality there’s nothing you can do about it ...
The clothes you wear don’t make the man
It’s just another party
(chorus)

Torn

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know, or seem to care
What your heart is for
I don’t know him anymore
 
There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s what going on...Nothing’s fine
I’m torn, I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel,
I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wild awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn
 
So I guess the fortune-teller’s right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holly light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now,
I don’t care I have no luck
I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things, that I can’t touch
I’m torn, I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel,
I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wild awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn
 
Torn
 
whoooohh....whohhh
 
There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what going on...Nothing’s right
I’m torn, I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel,
I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wild awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel,
I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
You’re a little late, I’m already torn
 
Torn.. oooh!

Wishing I was there

Take your hand
And place it in my pocket
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Put those thoughts away
Sometimes they're much to loud
I'll take a breath
And cradle your sweet head
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
I'm melting for you

I know, I get cold
Cos I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there

I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled
Denied the proof
We're fine till I think of the problem
I wish it made sense
Like a joke that no one gets
It's a life without regret
I want to feel that way, forever and ever

I know, I get cold
Cos I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing I was there
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing I was there
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing I was there with you
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing I was there
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing I was there with you

Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing, I was there with you
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing, I was there
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing, I was there with you
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing, I was there
Wishing I, wishing I,
Wishing, I was there with you
Wishing, I was there with you
