Paula Cole - Me

         

    Paula Cole - Lyrics of 'Me'

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes
I just pacify their egos
I am not my house, my car, my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like the winter
I'm a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave

CHORUS:

And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers
But you can't kill my spirit
It's soaring and it's strong
Like a mountain
I'll go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground

Chorus

And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love
And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love
That I love (6 times)

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes I know there's something
Yes I know, I know, yes I know

That I love (5 times overlapping chorus)

But it's me
And it's me
But it's me (4 times)

Ellis

There are times where I don't feel strong
like life is pulling me along
and I am hanging on by a thread.

Times like this, in times of need,
I feel there's no one but me . . . 
I'd like to see how untrue that is.

I need a little company.

And If by chance I find the right words tonight
If I let everything go,
would you sit and watch me cry?

I need a little company.
I need a little company.

All I need is a pat on the back
a little comfort
is that too much to ask?  or
am i left to fall?
are you there to catch me?

Angel, come down and be with me
right this moment I am in need,
I gotta find some sense of security
please angel,
come sit close to me.   

If I let everything go
would you sit and watch me cry?
Oh why?
Cry . . . .

Oh yeah...
I feel lost
and I'm trying to move forward

And I
I know this path is for me to figure out
but I feel lost
and I'm trying to move forward

Angel come down and be with me.
Right this moment I am in need
I gotta find some sense of security
please angel come sit close to me.

Lyrics of Angel, from Ellis album Evidence of Joy.                        
She just makes everything better.
