If I was your mother, mother If I was your mother Tell me what I got to do To make my life mean more to you I could get so close it's true Tell me who I got to be To make you a part of me Would you let me hold your hand Would you say you were my baby

I will rise up with the weight of the world I will rise up from the darkness, purged Rise up, take back control I find resolve in the darkest part of my mind I can stand to be inside I find the light to be a little much at times But I will rise Rise up,

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know me at all? You think that you can stand when I fall Domino, domino, domino all you want You're better off when we are apart I'm hanging on my own, my own I'm hanging out alone, alone I'm going out for

And at once I knew I was not magnificent Jagged vacance, thick with ice And I could see for miles, miles, miles Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street

We're gonna have a house party Turn your TV off, break that boom-box out We'll wake up all the neighbours 'til the whole block hates us And the cops will show up and try to shut us down If you're gonna be a homebody If you wanna be a homebody You ain't

We're gonna have a house party Turn your TV off, break that boom-box out We'll wake up all the neighbours 'til the whole block hates us And the cops will show up and try to shut us down If you're gonna be a homebody If you wanna be a homebody You ain't

You and me are floating on a tidal wave You and me are drifting into outer space Trying to repair it And singing Trying hard to speak and Fighting with my weak hand Driven to distraction It's all part of the plan

Won't keep us apart. I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart, An' all of this distance won't keep us apart, How long can this keep goin' on? Since you've gone, my heart said something's wrong. I'm still blue over losin' you. What else am I gonna do?

Like a fool, I'm holdin' on to you There are those who'd love to love me Take me home and take care of me Treat me just the way you never do But I'm here on your door step Something I can't seem to help Oh, you don't love me, you don't love me You place

Tell me I will be released Not sure I can deal with this Up all night again this week You cry a little, so do I, so do I Breaking things that I should keep I know that you're hiding I know there's a part of you that I just cannot reach You don't have to
