Hootie & the Blowfish

I’ve found a reason to dig deep down.
There’s a part of you that I ain’t found that’s in your deeper side.
Instead of wondering what I should do,
I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.
Show me your deeper side. (show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (it’s a mystery)
That I would give most anything to see.
There’s a lot of things that I would know
If you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.
Everybody always seems so pure,
Then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.
Show me your, yeah. (show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (it’s a mystery)
I would give most anything to see.
You think the world has got your number now.
You cry about it but you know somehow it’s your deeper side.
I heard you wishing you were someone else
But all that’s stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.
So, show me your deeper side. (show me your deeper side)
Please, show me your deeper side. (show me your deeper side)
Oh, show me your deeper side. (it’s a mystery)
I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.
You would give most anything to see.
Show me your deeper side.

How you gonna say what you can and can’t do,
sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube
You’re mad at the world like she owes you,
What you think opportunity’s gonna come looking for you?
Not a damn thing changed
You’re just another football waiting to be tossed in the game
You’re flossing again,
you talk a good game, but you’re still trying hard to maintain
Little brother, a ship can’t sail without the water
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Everyday you’re out slinging that thing
No worries or cares of what your mama may say
Trying to get what you want in your life
The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice
Not a damn thing changed
You’re still another football waiting to be tossed in the game
You’re flossing again,
you talk a good game,
but you’re still struggling hard to maintain
Little brother, a ship can’t sail without the water, no
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, no, a ship can’t sail without the water
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try
All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky
All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled
Time is moving rapidly
Don’t let it pass you by, yeah
Little brother, a ship can’t sail without the water, no
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, no,
a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can’t sail without the water
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, a ship can’t sail without the water, no
The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, get it now, a ship can’t sail without the water

What else can I do when
the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear
sings the songs of our hearts breaking
Now my dreams, they all have changed
Well, my smiles, they all have faded
The thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,
they now feel jaded
Because I wanna feel like I did
And I wanna feel innocence
What else can it be except this pride I’m sick of drinking
The storm clouds all have gone away
Can we stop this thing from sinking?
Because I wanna feel like I did
And I wanna feel innocence
I want you to know,
and feel in your soul,
that someone has come and gone
Stuck up here with you
I never thought we’d get this high
I used to be afraid of falling
Now I’ll spread my wings and I will fly
I wanna feel like I did
And I wanna feel innocence
I wanna feel like I did
Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh I

I see it inside your eyes,
feel it in your soul
A part of you is moving on,
the other half is gone
I don’t know what you want from me,
no, you lock it all inside
I try to give you everything,
but there’s nothing else that I can hide
We’ve been trying so long
You’ve been pushing too hard
You should say what’s wrong and echo what’s right
You need a little space and I need mine
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded
The house we share is not a home when you’re inside it
So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,
I must be moving on
I couldn’t stand to face you,
so I, I guess that’s why I wrote this song
You’ve been trying so long
We’ve been pushing too hard
You should say what’s wrong and echo what’s right
You need a little space and I need mine
Oh, oh, oh, we’ve been trying so long
You’ve been pushing too hard
You should say what’s wrong and echo what’s right
You need a little space and I need mine
You need a little space and I need mine

It’s been such a long time
since I haven’t seen your face
There’s a tear on your cheek
where your smile used to be ’cause I’m going away
We had such a good time,
though we knew this day might come
So when you hold me tonight, squeeze a little tighter
’cause in the morning, I’ll be gone
And, I tell you, baby, now, I might be long

But, I’ll come runnin’ (I’ll come runnin’)
I’ll come runnin’ home
I’ll come runnin’ home to you
I’ll come runnin’ (I’ll come runnin’)
I’ll come runnin’ home (I’ll come)
I’ll come runnin’ home to you

It’s already five AM
We haven’t got much sleep just yet
Sun is rising
I wish I could make time stand still
I look in your eyes, now, love and I don’t know what to say
The words, the words aren’t coming to me
And if you say you’ll wait me for me, now, I know you’ll try

But, I’ll come runnin’
I’ll come runnin’ home
I’ll come runnin’ home to you, you
I will come runnin’ home (I’ll come runnin’)
I’ll never leave you alone, girl (I’ll come)
I’ll always come runnin’ home to you, you
I (I’ll come runnin’) (I’ll come)
I will, I will, I will,
I will come home and I’ll always come home right to you
(I’ll come runnin’)
No matter what I did, no matter what I do (I’ll come)
I’ll always I’ll always come runnin’ home
I’ll always come runnin’ home to you
I’ll come runnin’ I’ll come, I’ll come runnin’ I’ll come

Now I see that the time we had before
Was just a tiny passing moment, that we can’t share anymore
And I’ve learned written words are not the same
As when you take the time to say it and let the clouds release the rain

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends
But yesterday is just something that I can’t mend

CHORUS
And I’ve broke down for my lost brother and I’ve died for mamma too
Now my tears fall down for you, for you

And I say one thing each day before I lay me down
I thank god for your sweet smile although you’re not around
And I can’t overcome your memory in my mind
It’s a bridge I’ll never cross until the end of time

I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends
Yesterday’s just something that I can’t mend

CHORUS

I’ve spent my whole life thinking that you’d be mine, you’re never gonna come back home
Now every time the wind blows my way, I can smell a new day
Got you deep inside my soul
We’ll be together longer than forever, cause in my heart you still remain
Every time I hear the thunder makes me stop to wonder
If you’re staring down at me
Now the rain’s falling down tears to wrap my hands around, knowing that you’re always be mine
Now there’s tears falling down, tears are falling down, tears are raining down on me

I don’t think about us much anymore
And frankly, the topic has become a bore
And you don’t come up much in my conversations
And I don’t think about you on vacation

Oh, but when it rains
When it rains, when it rains
That’s when I remember (I remember)
That’s when I remember (I remember)
I remember you (Oh, I remember you)
I remember you
I don’t think about you when I’m sleeping
Oh, it doesn’t even cross my dream-like mind (Oh)
And I don’t think I see your face through the curtain
Hell, I don’t even miss you half the time (Half the time)
Oh, when it rains, when it rains, when it rains
That’s when I remember (I remember)
Yeah, that’s when I remember (I remember)
I remember you (Oh, I remember you)
I remember you
Rain, rain, go away
I’m doing fine as long as you stay locked up inside a cloud of grey
Rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, Rain, Rain!
‘Cause when it rains, Yeah, when it rains, when it rains
That’s when I remember, (I remember)
Yeah, that’s when I remember, (I remember)
I remember you, (I remember)
I remember you, (I remember you)
That’s when I remember, (I remember)
The only time I remember, (I remember)
I remember you, (Oh, I remember you) I remember you

You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,
never knowing I was your chocolate rose
You always tell me that you like what I’m wearing,
but you think I look better here without any clothes
Get out of my head, Show me your heart
Get out of my head, Show me your heart
You play a game of attack and surrender
Always leaving me halfway there
Well I’ve got something that you should remember
Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares
Get out of my head, Show me your heart
Get out of my head, Show me your heart
Sometimes I’d swear you were from Venus, now, oh
If I didn’t already know your type
You’d rather tell me you’re an angel, darling,
then show me by floating gracefully by
Get out of my head, Show me your heart
Get out of my head, oh, And, show me your heart
Get out, get out, get out of my head
Yeah, and show me your heart
Show me your, oh
Get out of my head, And, show me your heart

She has a light and a faith that won’t die
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive
She has a pretty young daughter back home
who’ll soon start to cry when she’s gone
When she’s gone, when she’s gone, when she’s gone

Now she spends her days with a mission to live
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she’s gone
When she’s gone, she’s gone, when she’s gone
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps
(Smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when we’ll all finally meet
She often says that she lives in a world we’ll never know
She hopes we ‘ll never know

We sit together and talk about our faith
We play a game where we’ll sing all our troubles away
Though she’s glad to be with me,
she knows damn well that her next life awaits when she’s gone
Oh, when she’s gone
When she’s gone
When she’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone
She’s gone away, she’s gone away
She’s gone, she’s gone, when she’s gone
Oh, no (When she’s gone)
Oh, she’s gone
I know she’s gone (When she’s gone)

Hello, little darlin’
Can’t see why you’re cryin’
Don’t even know why you came by so soon
And I know that you love me
Remember that you left me
Why were you so afraid of the truth?
Now, no, no
Now, no, no
Hello, how you doing?
Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through
So sit down at my table
We’ll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue
Now, no, no
Now, no, no (Ah)
I see you driving out of town
I just hope somehow (Ah) you’ll be alright again (Ah)
I see you driving out of town
I just hope somehow (Ah) we’ll be alright again
Now, I told you right from the start
that I don’t want to play the part of being the blame for a broken hearted fool
And, now that I don’t see you much,
I wish that we had stayed in touch
I don’t know what I would say or what you think I would do
Now, no, no, Now, no, no, Now, no, Now, no, no, Now, no, no (Ah)
I see you driving out of town
I just hope somehow (Ah) you’ll be alright again
I see you driving out of town
I just hope somehow, we’ll be alright again

Can you see me there when I’m standing alone?
How did you know I needed you here?
Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?
Is that what makes you appear?
See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,
what we did to become this way
And, I’ll never forget when you whispered to me
You said, don’t worry it’ll be ok
Sometimes the sun calls our names
And, sometimes we listen
Sometimes the devil’s there, but we just can’t go with him
Can you hear me now when I’m standing this close?
Can I tell you one of my fears?
See, I hope you live to sing when I die,
’cause if you’re gone, I don’t think I want to be here no more
‘Cause sometimes the sun calls our names
And, sometimes we listen
And, sometimes the devil’s there,
but we just can’t go with him
Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no
Sometimes we listen
Sometimes the devil’s there,
but we just can’t go with him

I don’t care about your man’s reputation
I don’t care what you say about him
All I know is you’re some kind of woman,
and, it won’t be tonight,
but, girl, you’re gonna give in

Go and give him his walking papers
Tell him things that he never knew
Don’t you hear what your new man’s saying, girl?
Now you know what you’ve got to do now?

Go and tell him you can’t see him again
Go and tell him you can’t see him again
You can’t say that you don’t think about me late at night, lying in your bed
Stirring the soup
and you start dreamin’ about the times that we had
and the times that I said now

Go and tell him you can’t see him again
Go and tell him you can’t see him again
I don’t care about your man’s reputation
I don’t care what your man’s gonna do
You can tell that you’re gonna come running, baby
I can tell that you’re gonna come soon
Go and tell him you can’t see him again
Go and tell him, nah, you can’t see him again (You can’t see him right now)
Go and tell him you can’t see him again
Go and tell him that you are gone
Go and tell him that you are gone
Go and tell him that you are gone
I said, go and tell him that you are gone
Go, you can tell
Go and tell him girl
Let him know you’re coming home with me tonight
Oh, oh, oh
