I Hear You Say

Real Day

Every now and then you say something I understand

And every now and then you don't

You may say you need some time alone to comprehend

And all I hear is the alone

'Cause I hear you say it just wasn't meant to be

And I hear you say I'm not good enough for you

I hear you say that you want to be released

I hear you say...

You may say you know what's going on inside my

brain

And you can see right to the core

And you will say that everything is gonna be okay

That you could never ask for more

I hear you say that I'm totally a mess

I hear you say that I don't have a prayer

I hear you say that you're easily impressed

I hear you say...

You may say it's my perception

Well, that may be so

But you made yourself the expert

Tell me, what is there to know

Tell me, what is there to know

You may say that I should spend more time inside myself

And I been doing that for days

And you may ask me how I learned to speak my mind so well

Let me count the ways

'Cause I hear you say it just wasn't meant to be

I hear you say I'm not good enough for you

I hear you say that you want to be released

I hear you say

I hear you say that I'm totally a mess

I hear you say that I don't stand a chance

I hear you say all the things you don't address

I hear you say

I Hear You Say

Get Your Own

Real Day

I don't know what it is about my kitchen

That makes you feel at home

You eat my food and dirty up my dishes

You better get your own

It's getting hard for me to pay atention

To your endless drone

As if misery werer your invention

You better get your own

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings

But I'm at the end of my rope

And there still might be just enough of it left

For me to hang us both

I didn't mean that, I was only joking

Oops, my cover's been blown

By the way those cigarettes you're smoking

You better get your own

I've always given you a shoulder to cry on

I'm getting soaked to the bone

I've even given you my couch to lie on

You better get your own

Don't reming me we've been friends forever

Don't you think that I know

I've got a life I'm trying to keep together

You better get your own

So he wrecked your life and now he's gone

Do you have to keep going on and on and on and on...

Don't get me wrong I'm only trying to help you

So could you get off the phone

By the way your cousin called to tell you

You better get your own

Cracks and Daggers Real Day It's six in the morning the sun's in the sky I'm wired on coffee and dreams that won't die If the face in the mirror is supposed to be me Then why don't I recognize the girl that I see? Oh isn't it strange Isn't it funny Life has a path It's not always sunny But stormy and windy And full of cracks and daggers And my love for you Is all that matters I once had a wish that I'd be the prom queen You know I couldn't be anything just in between And the pictures I'm seeing behind these closed eyes Are all that I'm needing and all I despise so Time has a way of taking apart All of the memories you hide in your heart The future is all that you are If I had the big world to hold in my hand I wonder if maybe then I'd understand How I could have such a space to be filled When there's diamonds and daffodils and castles to build Cracks and Daggers Alice Peacock; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

Exit Real Day Oh lover Can you hear me I've been thinking'bout you night and day And Jesus, Want you near me Well I want to hear what you got to say Got my exit neatly laid out But I'm not sure what I'm afraid of And daddy won't you help me get back home I't like waking From a bad dream And the hero is just not what he seemed Can't see my reflection Just a shadow where I should have been Can't find reason And reasons won't make any rhymes And daddy won't you help me get back home I think I just might need to get back home Take your time You will know Shake it loose and let it go Take your time You will know Shake it loose and let it go Take your time You will know Shake it loose and let it go Take you time You will know Shake it loose and let it go Exit Alice Peacock; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

I'll Be The One Real Day Sometimes when I open my mouth It's anyone's guess what might come out Last one to know is usually me My life is an open book I'll spell it out for you, you can take a look You might not like what you see And hey, I'm not what you're looking for I can tell you that and so much more ('Cause baby) I'll be the one Who makes you cry I'll be the first To say goodbye You'll look for me And I'll be gone I will be - yes I will be the one The girl in the sunshine dress With her backpack full of emptiness Won't be misleading you today She knows from the soles of her shoes There's a lot more here than lonely blues Seems that's the only thing she plays And hey, I'm not the girl you used to know And that's why you gotta' let me go I know these aren't the words you wanted me to say But you've got to give it to yourself, Before you give it all away Give it all away I'll Be The One Alice Peacock/Angelo; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)/ Polygram Music International/Green Wagon Music (ASCAP)

My Love I Will Real Day You've got a light that surrounds you A peaceful way about you Takes the fear out of I want to put my arms around you I'm so glad I found you How'd you end up in my life And oh, I suppose It was destiny at or comeone had a perfect plan to fill But as I watch you while you sleep City's so very clear to me Until the day the planets all stand still My love, I will I love the way your eyes light up When you're talking to someone you love and you've never been afraid to let it show And I can't imagine anything As good as when you say my name And you tell me that you'll never let me go My Love I Will Alice Peacock; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

Something Else Real Day Just about convinced myself that life was fine Wanted to believe it too 'Cause guaranteed affection's always been, A favorite drug of mine And you kept coming through I don't think you understand I'm not Lois Lane You're not Superman And no one's gonna save me from myself You keep trying to rescue me With anything and everything But the only thing I want Is something else Pickin' up the pieces is what you do the best You'd dry my tears and buy me shoes I only wish I felt the kind of love You want me to confess But I can't lie to you I don't think you understand I'm not Lois Lane You're not Superman And no one is gonna' save me from myself You keep trying to rescue me With anything and everything But the only thing I want Is something unexpected Something undirected I don't wanna stay here Just because it's safe here Something Else Alice Peacock/Tom Littlefield 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)/ Songs of Polygram International, Inc./ Door Number One Music (BMI)

Right Where I Belong Real Day I've walked holes in both my shoes I've got the going nowhere blues And I'm right where I belong Ain't no engine in my car Just this dead end in my heart And I'm right where I belong I've been broken down by lies Well you see my baby's gone Gonna' sit here and cry My soul is busted flat And I got no spare, no jack No truck stops, just blacktop Heartaches up on old wood blocks No road signs, just hard times I sure could use a little sunshine And lose these lovesick blues Right Where I Belong Alice Peacock/John Greenebaum 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)/ Sony ATV Tunes-Murphy Creek Inc.

I Do Real Day I like the way you walk across a room I like the way that you sing out of tune The way you make my heart go boom I do, I do, I do The sound of your voice when you call my name Nobody else can do it quite the same I like the way you love the rain I do, I do, I do So far, so good, so much more to come So glad, I found someone I could love Like you, and I do I like the way you want to cook for me And how you always wife the counters clean You'd rather be outside than watch TV Me too, I do, I do I like your Jungle Book coffee cup The fact you never leave the toilet seat up And when I'm talking you don't interrup But I do, I do, I do I Do Alice Peacock/Tom Littlefield 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)/ Songs of Polygram International, Inc./ Door Number ONe Music (BMI)

Real Day Real Day I like this room It has some things I wouldn't change You sleep on feathers, I'll sleep on the floor Footsteps thunder over my head As I lie here Staring at the ceiling On my unrolled bed Wish I may Wish I might Hold on to what I feel tonight I want to shake myself and say You're doing okay So I drink a beer My brother brought back from Prague I hate to get up early But I've got a full time job Christmas lights fill up the room It's almost February Wintertime, Valentine's Day, Valentines Day It's your day It's your time Don't let anybody tell you any different Move ahead Get out of line Go out the door without the exit sign Be for real, be for real, be for real A new day A new breath A new way to make some sense of it I can feel It's a real day for sure I can feel It's a real day for sure Real Day Alice Peacock; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

Secret Love Real Day Oh sweet forbidden love I remember when I saw you first It hit me like a light You were placed upon this earth to keep me safe at night Oh sweet forbidden love I can't pretend it wasn't real Or something to regret 'Cause your memory is one that I just can't forget Well you must have found a space Deep inside my mind Guess it's possible to love many times within your life And I know that it's not right And I know that it's not fair But my secret love you'll always be there Oh sweet forbidden love You were always there to make me laugh You brigthened up the day I never meant to hurt you in any way Oh sweet forbidden love Believe me when I tell you that You're beautiful inside And your love for life is something you should never hide Secret Love Alice Peacock; 1998 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)
