---a question about the lyrics thread

[zurielshimon]

I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him blessing me

You perverts! 8O

[kaysha]

B and I just put up where we're at with all the lyrics on the main site..

www.nessaholics.com/lyrics.php for those that are interested.

Please if you have any changes to those versions let us know

[B]

some day when the stories are told
they'll tell of a love like this

?  

[zurielshimon]

Something's not sounding right here:

(We) crossed the deepest ocean
(To) go across the sea

The red words don't sound right, and plus, they make no sense.
I'm thinking "To" is supposed to be "Don't", but I'm not sure.  And "We" sounds like something that starts with a B. :?  :?:

The One
---------------
Holiday, and I've come home
Hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you
Hope you think of me when it plays through
It's kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time's for free
In all the ways you say to me
"Sweet virgin dove lets wait and see"

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passin' by
And still I have to wonder why
You can't come and tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you wanted me to be

The gravity, and bends of time
Funny how you always blanked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
In this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passin' by
Still I give you another try
And hope that you will see
That i'm the one

You say you're scared
To get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see him now, at the show
7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
It's sad that you can seem
So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that i've moved
I see your face, you don't approve
I guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodys are best left un--

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you'll aways stay
Don't need for you to tell me i'm the one
Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me
I'm the one
You'll never know that I was
The one

---------------------------------------------------------

Put Your Hands On Me
------------------

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me

I lie awake at night for you, and I pray
We crossed the deepest ocean
To go across the sea
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me, oh no

The sun will radiate with you
We've barely met
And still I cross the street to your door

we crossed the deepest oceans
To go across the sea
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me

Some day when the stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
A thousand years'll be singing
na na na na na na na na na

We climbed Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him blessing me
 
And all the constellations shine down on you and me
And if you dont believe me
Just put your hands on me
na na na na na, no
Your hands on me
na na na na na na, no
I first saw you at the video exchange

This Time
----------------------

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes

And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day i'm missin'
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

I know I push too hard, I fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know
That everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

Your words circle in my head
Now weight so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation

And only wanna do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the daze I'm in

And do I push too hard, not hard enough
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut
And do we lead the life that we should
Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time

And did I say too much again
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth, well, am I getting through?
And he just seemed too sure, too fast
and who am i to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry

Cause everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away
This time

I hold my head up high
I know i'll be alright this time
ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah

Its 4 AM and i'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And its times like these I see your fate

o_O is this song about getting abused? or arguments at least.

Something's not sounding right here:

(We) crossed the deepest ocean
(To) go across the sea

The red words don't sound right, and plus, they make no sense.
I'm thinking "To" is supposed to be "Don't", but I'm not sure.  And "We" sounds like something that starts with a B. :?  :?:

nope.
its "to"
trust a fellow pennsylvanian :-p
Vanessa makes "to" sound like "ta"
same thing.

[zurielshimon]

But darlin' oh, if I could (This line makes no sense.  Any suggestions?)

But "if I could fall into the sky do you think time would pass me" by does?

This relates back to the whole "gravity bends the time" thing.  Relativity is a recurring theme in Vanessa's songs.

[zurielshimon]

The gravity, and bends of time

Apparently, the jury is still out on this line.

I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him touching me

I tell you, this word is certainly "blessing"!

And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes

What does this mean?

I don't think it sounds like "ta"; I think it sounds like "do", as in a female deer.  But the words that are listed as "We crossed" sound like "Be quoss".  Any ideas?

thats just what i think it is

I see the Dalai Lama
I feel him touching me

I tell you, this word is certainly "blessing"!
i modified it already

And I flick a ring of all of my mistakes

What does this mean?

like in marriage, or engagement.
you know, guy says "wil you marry me" and gives the girl a ring to wear that is a symbol that says "i'm taken, this means im about to get married, or I am married" depending on what kind of ring it is.

It is blessing. and I hear it as "gravity can bend the time"

[zurielshimon]

The ones Katia posted are so clear!  Here are some things I can hear for sure now:

I only wanna do some good
To dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the daze I'm in

And the tape I made you (not "made for you")
Hope you think of me when it plays through
I feel kind of sad now that it's done

It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

We climb Tibetan mountains (not "the")
Where we can barely breathe (I believe it's present-tense)

I am definite on all of these!  And if I'm not, I'll boil Vanessa's socks and drink the broth! :razz:
I know, it doesn't count if I would do it anyway.

[B]

You would do it anyway!?  8O

I am with you on those changes, though.

[zurielshimon]

You would do it anyway!?  8O

I didn't know anyone could hear me! 8O  :oops:

I am with you on those changes, though.

Me too.
