Through all the Ashes you have seen
You always saw the good in me
In dust I feel the words you spoke
You've turned me into fire and smoke
Then I see everything you've done
Learn how to be and become all
Told me you'd go to prison if someone ever hurt me now
Said you'd already lived long
You'd never let me get knocked down
All

You were a kid collecting metal
You were a kid always up to trouble
My mama knew how much you loved her
When you were you - signaturely stubborn
You had a fight like any other
You had a fight; you're too much like my mother
My mama said that I would be comin'
Made up your mind to give me all your lovin'
We meet up in my dreams when I can find you
You don't say anything, I just wanna be by you
Someday we're gonna sing the way we said we're gonna
The way we said we're gonna

Tell me once again
We're doing well, we don't need words like "boyfriend"
You ask me how to say my last name on our 27th date
You ask me if I came but you don't know my name
You don't know my name
Tell me once again
'Bout how you fell for your asian college girlfriend
You never felt the same since she put out the flame
You think I'll do the same
You ask me if I came but you don't know my name
You don't know my name

Beginnings

I was waiting inside for you to pick me up
I was waiting inside, hoping you'd hurry up
All the butterflies were calling my name, "Ash-l-e-y"
I was hoping you were feeling the same; you're a mysterious guy
When you finally arrived I saw you run up the stair
But I acted surprised, like I was doing my hair
Do you like me still? Do I look pretty tonight?
You don't know it yet but I will let you kiss me goodnight
I don't know you well but I think you're pretty alright
It's still too early to tell and you're not exactly my type
But I like the way you talk and how you open the door
And when I leave your side, you leave me wanting more

I wrap me in paper to save me for later
Older-me wants to know some true things about me - the places that I've seen
They're always mine to hold
But I don't wanna stop learning
And I don't wanna stay home
Sometimes I get nervous, my fears start to surface:
A fish in a tiny bowl
But I don't wanna make nice - I'm a sweet and spicy girl!
My spice gets me out of control
But I don't wanna stop learning
And I don't wanna stay home
I don't wanna stop learning
I don't wanna stay home

Meet me on the way to the back of your car
Meet me on the way to the back of your car
Teach me how to say when I can't stretch too far
Find another way and a new place to start
And I knew, I knew, I knew I couldn't have you then
But a piece of you made me feel like a woman

You Won't

Fight just to care
You might meet me there
But you wont, you wont
A light dims and flares
You might meet me there
But you won't, you wont
You won't, you won't
I settle for feet on the floor with you
A strange affair, hands in my hair, with you
But I won't, I won't
I won't and you won't

Proud of You All

Whatever you want, you're gonna have it
You say to me
Whatever you choose, just go and grab it
How can I make you see?
All my life I worked hard to feed the kids, my wife -
You're my life, my family,
All I see (are memories)
I love to talk about my brothers, Italian fiends
And your grandma, she's more than a lover
She takes care of me
All my life I worked hard to feed the kids, my wife -
You're my life, my family,
All I see (are memories)
I'm so proud of you all,
Noone ever got in too much trouble.
