Well you looked so at peace
Trying to find real love
You hair was like a fire
Such a pretty woman
You were hiding out in the open
Searching so hard
For a kiss that lasts forever
There on the boulevard
Do they use you?
And then use you?
When you get scared again? They could never forget you
But they could say they said your name
Julia
Well there's gotta be somebody
Gets what it is you do
Knows about the business
Somebody who can see through
Someone unaffected
Someone unashamed
Of his woman being worshipped
When he's not in the frame
Do they use you?
And then use you when you get scared again?
They could never forget you
But they could say they said your name
Julia

M Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
They must mean business
To say there's nothing worse
Then to let your precious love child
Leave the planet first
'Cause, oh whoa whoa
They've gotta just let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time lose
And all the things you never ...
So I think we're gonna have to record her
Sometimes against her will
We're gonna keep her alive with black and whites
Colour moving and still
And then, oh whoa whoa
We've gotta just let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
To say there's nothing worse
Then to let your precious love child
Leave the planet first
'Cause, oh whoa whoa
They've gotta just let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time lose
And all the things you never ...
So I think we're gonna have to record her
Sometimes against her will
We're gonna keep her alive with black and whites
Colour moving and still
And then, oh whoa whoa
We've gotta just let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose

Until We Die Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
I could almost remember your face
When I heard your voice today
I could see your lips moving
At the other end of the receiver
It was almost a very good bye
But dialtones tend to make me cry
I call back within moments
You laugh and don?t even ask why
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
You don't see me but I feel so exposed
Each time there's a pause on the phone
I wish there was another button to press
So I could read your mind
In heaven we won't have to call
I'll be with you spring summer and fall
But for now soon you?ll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
So for now soon you'll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
When I heard your voice today
I could see your lips moving
At the other end of the receiver
It was almost a very good bye
But dialtones tend to make me cry
I call back within moments
You laugh and don?t even ask why
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
You don't see me but I feel so exposed
Each time there's a pause on the phone
I wish there was another button to press
So I could read your mind
In heaven we won't have to call
I'll be with you spring summer and fall
But for now soon you?ll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
So for now soon you'll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die
That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

Wonderful Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
I'm alone in this life
And these old jeans are too tight
And now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh but I cry
My dignity's undignified
I guess i'm really on my own
Love is like a little boy
No I'm not paranoid
But I'm onto you yeah yeah
Well I'm not seventeen
And I don't wanna be
So why am I hiding?
[Chorus:]
Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I wanna wake you from another lonely night
Is it too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful
I'm a very simple girl
And I don't fit into this world
The city lights leave me in a daze
And even though we've enver met
You know what I'm trying to forget
Some things you can never change
[Chorus]
I'm underneath
Underneath
I'm underneath
I'm underneath
[Chorus x2]
And these old jeans are too tight
And now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh but I cry
My dignity's undignified
I guess i'm really on my own
Love is like a little boy
No I'm not paranoid
But I'm onto you yeah yeah
Well I'm not seventeen
And I don't wanna be
So why am I hiding?
[Chorus:]
Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I wanna wake you from another lonely night
Is it too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful
I'm a very simple girl
And I don't fit into this world
The city lights leave me in a daze
And even though we've enver met
You know what I'm trying to forget
Some things you can never change
[Chorus]
I'm underneath
Underneath
I'm underneath
I'm underneath
[Chorus x2]

So Cold Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
All they know is to photograph
People when they're on their knees
Say your prayers and wear your black
And be grateful it's not you and me
How am I supposed to live
Knowing that they're dying
How am I supposed to laugh
Knowing that they're crying
When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old
Raise me up to where the wind blows
Out of the ghettos oh
Raise me up to where the sun glows
Out of these shadows oh
When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old
People when they're on their knees
Say your prayers and wear your black
And be grateful it's not you and me
How am I supposed to live
Knowing that they're dying
How am I supposed to laugh
Knowing that they're crying
When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old
Raise me up to where the wind blows
Out of the ghettos oh
Raise me up to where the sun glows
Out of these shadows oh
When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old

Flying Home (brenda's Song) Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
Its hard to let you go
You've always let me in
And helped with all the endings
And you know where to begin
I need you here for me
Cause you always know my heart
I cant believe we'd change
Or have to be apart
But if you've seen the love that's in her eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way she felt inside
She's flying where she should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home
Its good to know your laugh
And you'll always hold my hand
And watch from up in heaven
And always understand
We'll take you down the road
And in everything we do
We'll know how much you love us
A soul that's kind and true.
But if you've seen the love that's in her eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way she felt inside
She's flying where she should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home
You've always let me in
And helped with all the endings
And you know where to begin
I need you here for me
Cause you always know my heart
I cant believe we'd change
Or have to be apart
But if you've seen the love that's in her eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way she felt inside
She's flying where she should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home
Its good to know your laugh
And you'll always hold my hand
And watch from up in heaven
And always understand
We'll take you down the road
And in everything we do
We'll know how much you love us
A soul that's kind and true.
But if you've seen the love that's in her eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way she felt inside
She's flying where she should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home

Boys Of Summer Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was - what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was - what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

God Made Me Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
(You got a quarter for your phone?)
I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am

All I Can Do Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
When you're on your own
When you're at the fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many signs and arrows
You haven't left in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave
[Chorus:]
All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long
And then night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
When you forget your name
The pleasure can't disguise your pain
You don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made
[Chorus]
What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
Have a happy faith
If you'll be so real
Oh
[Chorus]
It's all that I can do
When you're at the fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many signs and arrows
You haven't left in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave
[Chorus:]
All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long
And then night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
When you forget your name
The pleasure can't disguise your pain
You don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made
[Chorus]
What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
Have a happy faith
If you'll be so real
Oh
[Chorus]
It's all that I can do

In This Life Lyrics By Chantal Kreviazuk
Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me though today and this life.
You're in the basement watching the TV,
I'm on the second floor watching the ceiling.
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night.
I dream the same dream we can fly
You can run from me
You can hide form me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me tell you who you really are
You're my comfort
You're not a superstar
I can reach up and bring you back down to the ground
And give you everything you dream about
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
I'll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you cant forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me though today and this life.
You're in the basement watching the TV,
I'm on the second floor watching the ceiling.
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night.
I dream the same dream we can fly
You can run from me
You can hide form me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me tell you who you really are
You're my comfort
You're not a superstar
I can reach up and bring you back down to the ground
And give you everything you dream about
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
I'll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you cant forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me show you what I'm made of
