NOT MY LOVER

I’ve been doing fine
Without you by my side
Without you by my side
More than just a friend
Don’t say it again
Don’t say it again

Try to understand
This wasn’t what I planned
Never what I planned
Just got out of hand
A woman and a man
A woman and a man

But you were not my lover
You were not my lover
You were just a lesson that I learned
When you said you didn’t love her
You were just a liar
Just a lonely bridge I had to burn

Sentimental daze
Got me in a haze
Throwing it away
Downing lemonade and adding Tanqueray
A shot of Tanqueray

I see it in your eyes
You’re not even surprised
A thousand little lies
Love wasn’t the case
So say it to my face
Say it to my face

But you were not my lover
You were not my lover
You were just a lesson that I learned
When you said you didn’t love her
You were just a liar
Just a lonely bridge I had to burn

I wish you would
Let it go
I’m trying to
Let it go

Michelle Branch's "When That Somebody Is You," from the album 'The Trouble With Fever,' out now on Audio Eagle / Nonesuch / Warner Records: https://found.ee/MBTheTroubleWithFever

WHEN THAT SOMEBODY IS YOU

When you swear that you’re staring at a stranger
And everything that they’re saying is true
But you know it’s too late
You can’t change her
And the wait can’t be coming too soon

Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You’ll carry it through
’Cause it hurts to give up on somebody
When that somebody is you

Well, you’ll always get what you ask for
You know, the easy road don’t cut through
And your life is a total disaster
But you’re too scared to be asking for proof

Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You’ll carry it through
Ain’t it hard to show up for somebody
When that somebody is you



Oh

To be young
And on your own

Carry it all
Never grow up
To be young
And on my own...

Michelle Branch's "Closest Thing to Heaven," from the album 'The Trouble With Fever,' out now on Audio Eagle / Nonesuch / Warner Records: https://found.ee/MBTheTroubleWithFever

CLOSEST THING TO HEAVEN

After last call when the bars have all closed
They turn off the neon sign
You told me you’re thinking that I should go home
But I’m all alone tonight

Remember the time you told me you were done
Well, I already knew
I could see it all over your face
Could feel it all over you

And you think it’s funny
Darling, you still know me so well
I’m out of my mind walking into the dark
Waiting for sun to spill

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, boy you get me ready
Don’t you keep me waiting
You’re the closest thing to heaven
Ooh ooh, I’m never gonna get in
Hoping that you’ll save me
You’re the closest thing to heaven

All of the sad songs and all of the wrongs
All the time you were right
Forgive me for making you feel like a fool
Now I’m on my knees tonight

And I think it’s funny
That you think you know me so well
’Cause you’re on my mind
Feels like all the time
It’s tearing my world apart

Ooh ooh, boy you get me ready
Don’t you keep me waiting
You’re the closest thing to heaven
Ooh ooh, I’m never gonna get in
Hoping that you’ll save me
You’re my number one obsession
Ooh ooh, boy you get me ready
Hoping that you’ll save me
You’re the closest thing to heaven

Michelle Branch's "You Got Me Where You Want Me," from the album 'The Trouble With Fever,' out now on Audio Eagle / Nonesuch / Warner Records: https://found.ee/MBTheTroubleWithFever

YOU GOT ME WHERE YOU WANT ME

I don’t know what you’re thinking
I don’t know what you want from me
All I know is the car seat is freezing
Sitting here in the passenger seat

Ooooh
You got me where you want me
Oooh
You got me where you want me, baby

The sun will rise
In the morning
The sun will set when the day is done
I’m so afraid of slowly dying
Wasting time
There’s never enough

Ooooh
You got me where you want me
Oooh
You got me where you want me, baby

Let’s run away
What’s the point
We’re never getting where we want to go
We could jump in
When I count to 10
Hold our breath
In the shadows below

Ooooh
You got me where you want me
Oooh
You got me where you want me, baby
