Fighting too long to be the last to know
Hope that there's just some other way...
Oh
Chasing the memories of our past…
Here today and gone tomorrow
Hope that there's just some other way out
Fighting too long to be the last to know
I hope…
…some other way out
Fighting too long to be the last to know
I hope that there's just some other way out
(Go find your way out now…

Love me
Like you long to be
The apple of my eye
[Verse 3]
I'm not a coward and I'm not bold
Not anything in between
Still, I…
…love me
Oh, love me
Love me
Like you long to be
The apple of my eye
[Bridge]
When I get out
And sure, things will be so romantic…
I get out
I'm sure there will be consequences
Stained
I do
Well I'mma tell the whole band
To take it away
[Chorus]
Oh, love me
Oh, love me
Love me
Like you long to be
The apple of my eye…

Fighting too long to be the last to know
Hope that there's just some other way...
Oh
Chasing the memories of our past…
Here today and gone tomorrow
Hope that there's just some other way out
Fighting too long to be the last to know
I hope…
…some other way out
Fighting too long to be the last to know
I hope that there's just some other way out
(Go find your way out now…

…can relate to every fear that lurks and silently waits.
Failures long to be the centre of attention.
Every time that we're alone I…
…
Failures long to be the centre of attention.
Every time that we're alone I could fold
To the truth that's pressing me…
…
So I'll knuckle down just to figure this out.
Are we broken or missing a piece?
Failures long to be the centre of attention.

And I'm flying on invisible wings.
I rather long to be the height, not the deep.
I'm living. I'm feeling. I'm free within my soul.
I rather…
…long to be the height, not the deep.
I'm flying. I'm breathing. I'm free within my soul.
The freedom is within my soul.
I rather…
…long to be the height, not the deep.
I'm flying. I'm breathing. I'm free within my soul.
Let's go! No more bow down! No more compromise!
I can't bear the captivity any longer! Any longer!…

…wrong
When you start to patter
Won't you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
Oh, how I long to be the man I…
…it snappy!
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm…

…and make it snappy?
[Refrain: Diana Krall]
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh, won't you stop picking…
Somewhere far away off and make it snappy?
[Refrain: Diana Krall]
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh…

…long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me
I know that
Once it didn't matter…
And make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Won't you stop picking on me…

…finally awaken
I circumvent security
I long to be the one to leech
Every drop as you writhe and bleed
Lurking…
Father, Bastard, Traitor
I circumvent security
I long to be the one to leech
Every drop as you writhe and bleed
Lurking in darkness in between
I reach my target and wait for the perfect opportunity…

…to run along
Somewhere far away off, and make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh won't…
…take a day off, decide to run along
Somewhere far away off, and make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used…

…to run along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy
Oh how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm…
…a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy
Oh how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Keep picking on me…

…it been so long
I long to be the one
You have a handle on
For I Never cared
To be led
Beyond my despair
And how
Strange…
…into space because of me
Dare to let nobody take the place of me
Why has been so long
I long to be the one
You
Have a handle
on.

Won't you take a day off?

In the sunny south where the black oil flows
That's where I long to be
The dixie land where the white cotton grows
Is calling now…
…in the world it seems
Are awaiting for me down in New Orleans
Oh-de-lay-ee
In the sunny south where the black oil flows
That's where I long to be
