Annie, forget about your husband tonight
With your children sleeping safe and tight
Let's dance like it's supposed to be
I know you know our secret is safe with me
And Annie, there's something about the dangerous game
I think I'm starting now to feel your pain
So Annie won't you take my hand?
Let's make out and dance to the cover band
As the freaks start arriving doing lines in the bathroom
I'll give you the love that you don't get in your bedroom
I know a thing or two about shame
To follow your heart is a gambling game
But Annie I don't care what happens to you and me
And Annie, tell me about your God one more time
I'd like to take him and replace him with mine
Cause mine won't let me see the light
Convincing me it's wrong when it feels so right
I think I'll take the moment
I think I'll take the moment
I think I'll take the moment
I think I'll take the moment
Because Annie I don't care what happens to you and me
Annie I don't care what happens to you and me
Annie I don't care what happens to you and me
Annie I don't care what happens to you and me
Annie I don't care what happens to you and me

Happened Upon

Well we exchanged a couple words
Then we exchanged a couple more
Wow, you're actually really cool
I didn't expect that at all
I guess I'd gotten pretty weathered from the bitch of it all
I guess I'd gotten pretty weathered from the bitch of it all
So you're friends with a friend
Who left a minute ago
I saw you standing alone
I held my breath, then I said "Hello,"
Well I happened upon you
And It felt pretty good
I'll buy us a round
And get a couple smokes from my car
Let's hide the beer from the bouncer
And run across the street
Like a couple of kids who's parents
Don't know where their kids are
As night started turning to morning
I felt like I knew you before
Like a deja vu being split in two
I'd opened a door
She said, "It's late I've got to go
As we embraced, she whispered in my ear
"They say it's healthy to have at least six hugs a day"
I said, "Who are they?"
She said, "They are they"
I said, "Kisses must be ten times healthier than hugs"
I went into kiss her
She said, "I'm sorry, I'm seeing someone."
Well, I happened upon you and it felt pretty good
And it felt pretty good, and it felt pretty good
Well, I happened upon you and it felt pretty good
And it felt pretty good, and it felt pretty good

There's a first time for everything
That one summer you were house-sitting
I think you heard from a friend I was a virgin
So after the party
In our teacher's bed
You took me in
I was afraid that I wouldn't last
I was right, yeah I didn't last
But what I'll always remember was a couple days later
In our teacher's bed
You took me in again
I was on acid and you were on mushrooms
My best friend slept alone in the computer room
Everything clicked like some kind of magical mystery tour
Days went by and it was so surreal
My body told my brain how to feel
I was building a fence in the days and when nights rolled around
I was there with you
The whole night through
We never talked very much
I suppose it was easier just to touch
But I knew you were leaving in the middle of August I watched us
Silently wait
Until the expiration date
And I think that love is what you started to see
And I felt ashamed I didn't have it in me
The night that you left, you cried as I was inside you
I couldn't shed a tear
Feeling guilt and fear
To make things worse, I fell in love with your best friend
While you were out there WWOOFing in Ireland
You wanted to pen pall but it didn't really work out that way
In the end
And I've been treated the same since then
And it may not mean much but now I understand
How dishonorable people can be when you're all the way in
I try not regret anything I do
But I regret the way I treated you
I know you told me before that you forgive me but I just wanna say
That I'm sorry
Sincerely,
Dylan
There's a first time for everything
There's a first time for everything
There's a first time for everything
There's a first time for everything
There's a first time for everything
There's a first time for everything

For You

We may have loved in more ways than one
We may have burned our eyes from staring at the sun
But no matter where you are, no matter what you do
There will always be a place in my heart babe
For you
We may get jaded as times start to change
You may get wasted and I may get strange
But when you feel like dying I will pave your way through
Cause there will always be a place in my heart babe
For you
When I'm at the ledge, on the top looking down
I won't jump, I won't fall as long as you're still around
I won't let all those nightmares come true
Cause there's a place in my heart babe
For you
We will see love stop feeling so lovely
We will see life stop feeling so lively
We'll see the best thing on earth as it breaks right in two
But there will always be a place in my heart babe
There will always be a place in my heart babe
There will always be a place in my heart babe
For you (place in my heart)
For you (place in my heart)
For you (place in my heart)
My heart babe
For you
For you (place in my heart)
For you (place in my heart)
For you (place in my heart)
My heart babe
For you

Because I Love You

Because I love you
Maybe it's harder to keep it straight
Thought I kept it pretty good, I was wrong
Maybe this road I won't ever get off of
Because I love you
Maybe it's easy to fall back in
Talk to you for hours about nothing
This would be fine if it weren't for your man
Everything you do to me I do to you
Everything you do to me I do to you
Because I love you
There's some way back through the middle
There's some way back through the middle
There's some way back through the middle

Human Muses

Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we wouldn't be here at all
Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we'd be nothing at all
It's the window
Where I see through you
It's much brighter too
It's a better view
When I see through you
It's the camera lens
From the other end
Doesn't feel like pretend
And I know who's the friend
When I see through you
Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we wouldn't be here at all
Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we'd be nothing at all
It's the missing link
As I sip the drink
It may feel like a lot
But I don't need to think
When I see through you
It's the driving force
And I take its course
I forget intercourse
I forget divorce
When I see through you
Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we wouldn't be here at all
Where would we be without human muses?
Without human muses, we'd be nothing at all
It's a beautiful thing that humans can share
Even without knowing
You can throw it away but you gave me a gift
That will live forever and ever and ever
AMEN
AMEN
AMEN
AMEN
Where would we be without human muses?
Where would we be without human muses?
Where would we be without human muses?
Where would we be without human muses?
