This is the third time this week
That I find myself wandering down your street
And I can’t seem to give it up.
And I’ve even stopped making these excuses
For why you’re stuck here in my thoughts
When it’s been long enough.
And I try to keep myself moving,
But I’m not going anywhere.
I wait in the same spot
Brain like a parking lot
You’re the traffic in my head
You’re the reason that I’m wrecked
I pray for it to stop
Like rain on the sidewalk
The traffic in my head
You’re the traffic in my head
There’s just too much to forget
Guess I should be happy now
Everything is back to how it was
Before you came around
I’m already changing
I’ve even tried to find a new distraction
But still you surround
As if it’s not hard enough
And I try to keep myself moving
But I’m not getting anywhere
I wait in the same spot
Brain like a parking lot
You’re the traffic in my head
You’re the reason that I’m wrecked
I pray for it to stop
Like rain on the sidewalk
The traffic in my head
You’re the traffic in my head
A part of me thinks that I’m going crazy
The world’s spinning
My vision is hazy
And none of this makes any sense
I never meant for this to end
I can do what I have to do…
If I could only get around you
I wait in the same spot
Brain like a parking lot
You’re the traffic in my head
You’re the reason that I’m wrecked
I pray for it to stop
Like rain on the sidewalk
The traffic in my head
You’re the traffic in my head
There’s just too much to forget
There’s just too much to forget
There’s just too much to forget
What I can remember
Is a lot like water
Trickling down a page
Of the most beautiful colors
I can’t quite put my finger
Down on the moment
That I became like this…
You see I am the bravest girl
You will ever come to meet
Yet I shrink down to nothing
At the thought of someone
Really seeing me
I think my heart is wrapped around
And tangled up in winding weeds
But I don’t wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say I’m stumbling
I will bare it all… watch me unfold
Unfold
These hands that I hold
Behind my back are
Bound and broken
By my own doing
And I can’t feel
Anything anymore
I need a touch to remind me
I’m still real
But I don’t wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say I’m stumbling
I will bare it all… watch me unfold
Unfold
My soul
It’s dying to be free
You see… I can’t live the rest of my life
So guarded
It’s dying to be free
It’s up to me to choose…
What kind of life I lead
Cuz I don’t wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say
I will bare it all… watch me unfold
Unfold
I will allow someone to love me
I will allow someone to love me.
Performed on the show August 2007
You have my heart
And we’ll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you’ll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You’re part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it’s part
When the world has dealt it’s cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
You can run into my arms
It’s okay don’t be alarmed
Come into me
There’s no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath I’ma stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
It’s raining
Ooh baby it’s raining
Baby come into me
Come into me
It’s raining
Oh baby it’s raining
