1. HIDING UNDER MY BLANKET

SOMETIMES, I LACK ALL CONFIDENCE.

SOMETIMES, IT COMES AND FIGHTS WITH ME.

SOMETIMES, I WISH I HAD ANOTHER CHANCE TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU,

'CAUSE I AM WORTHY. BELIEVE ME.

ALL I REALLY WANT AND ALL I REALLY NEED

IS TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME... FOR LITTLE ME.

ALL I REALLY WANT AND ALL I REALLY NEED

IS TIME.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH.

ENUNCIATE, AND COMPENSATE FOR WHAT YOU HAD INSIDE.

COME ON OUT, AND SEE HIM.

NOW, ONCE AGAIN: FROM THE TOP. TRY ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER INSIDE.

ALL I REALLY WANT AND ALL I REALLY NEED

IS TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME... FOR LITTLE ME.

ALL I REALLY WANT AND ALL I REALLY NEED

IS TIME.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT. YEAH.

AND I DROWN IN THE 7-16.

I LOOK AT YOU, AND LOOK AT... ME.

THE PRESSURE IS RISING, THE PRESSURE IS RISING, IN THIS ROOM, IN THIS ROOM.

NEVER THOUGHT TO DISAPPOINT YA. WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LEAVE AT THIS JUNCTURE? AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE, AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE?

AND IT'S TIME, TIME… AND THAT'S BRINGING US FURTHER AND FURTHER APART.

AND I WONDER IF YOU EVER SAW MY FACE INSIDE THIS ROOM.

AND I WONDER IF YOU EVER SAW MY FACE INSIDE THIS ROOM.

AND I WONDER IF YOU EVER SAW MY FACE INSIDE THIS ROOM.

7. SONG IN Fm

LET'S WAIT ‘TIL THE STORM PASSES.

IT MAY BE A LITTLE WHILE.

LET'S NOT COMPLAIN, WE’RE UNDER SHELTER,

NOTHING TO DO ‘CEPT SIT HERE AND WAIT.

LET'S CONVERSE ABOUT THE WITCH.

WHICH? 

THERE ARE MANY.

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

WE SHOULD STAY RIGHT HERE....

HEAR THE WIND AND THE WEATHER RATTLING.

SEE THE SKY LIGHTING UP BLUE & WHITE.

FEEL THE RAIN BEATING ON THE PANES.

AND HAVE PITY ON THOSE STUCK OUTSIDE.

LET'S CONVERSE ABOUT THE WITCH.

WHICH? 

THERE ARE MANY.

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

UNTIL IT LIGHTENS UP A LITTLE BIT, 

WE SHOULD STAY RIGHT HERE....
