    Ben Rocks..
    Ben Folds//Still Fighting It

    Good morning, son.
    I am a bird
    Wearing a brown polyester shirt
    You want a coke?
    Maybe some fries?
    The roast beef combo's only $9.95
    It's okay, you don't have to pay
    I've got all the change

    Everybody knows
    It hurts to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

    Good morning, son
    In twenty years from now
    Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
    And I can tell you 'bout today
    And how I picked you up and everything changed
    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    It sucks to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here.
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
    You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
    Away from me

    Good morning, son
    I am a bird

    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    Tt hurts to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here.
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
    Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

    Ben Folds//The Luckiest

    I don't get many things right the first time
    In fact, I am told that a lot
    Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
    Brought me here

    And where was I before the day
    That I first saw your lovely face?
    Now I see it everyday
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    What if I'd been born fifty years before you
    In a house on a street where you lived?
    Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
    Would I know?

    And in a white sea of eyes
    I see one pair that I recognize
    And I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

    Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
    And one day passed away in his sleep
    And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
    And passed away

    I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
    That I know

    That I am
    I am
    I am
    The luckiest

    ------------------------
    just one more, i promise

    Ben Folds Five//Brick

    6 am day after Christmas
    I throw some clothes on in the dark
    The smell of cold
    Car seat is freezing
    The world is sleeping
    I am numb

    Up the stairs to the apartment
    She is balled up on the couch
    Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
    They're not home to find us out
    And we drive
    Now that I have found someone
    I'm feeling more alone
    Than I ever have before

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

    They call her name at 7:30
    I pace around the parking lot
    Then I walk down to buy her flowers
    And sell some gifts that I got
    Can't you see
    It's not me you're dying for
    Now she's feeling more alone
    Than she ever has before

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

    As weeks went by
    It showed that she was not fine
    They told me son, it's time to tell the truth
    She broke down, and I broke down
    Cause I was tired of lying

    Driving back to her apartment
    For the moment we're alone
    Yeah she's alone
    I'm alone
    Now I know it

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
