No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#4 by Patrick Wade at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:28 PM EST
	"And it's only me empty handed With a childish grin and a camera" as opposed to "like a scaralige grave"...that's definitely incorrect.

	Like the scaralige grave ? With a childish grin and a camera.

No Picture Jeff Average	#6 by Jeff Berg at Oct 7, 2007 at 12:39 AM EST
	Yeah, who ever is putting all the Michelle Branch lyrics up has messed up every single one I've looked at so far. I'm sick of correcting them tho. Anyways. Like I've said in all the other songs I've commented on, I relate to this song with my ex boyfriend. People kept talking all this shit about me, people that didnt even know me. People really do only hear what they want to hear, which makes them mistake me like most people. But yeah, I was sick of getting hurt by my ex so I decided that we were officially done ("I'm packing my bags cuz I dont wanna be, the only one who's drowning in their misery") And then I think the part about "you feel the water, but do you swim?" I think thats all about taking chances. Like, if you leave now, you wont be able to turn back and start over even if you really regret it. So its just kinda like should you stay or should you go? Yeah, well just another great Michelle Branch song. Someone really needs to fix all the lyrics.

No Picture bob Average	#7 by bob fred at Oct 9, 2007 at 2:35 PM EST
	Is there anyway to replace these lyrics with the real ones?

No Picture Mike Average	#8 by Mike Fraguglia at Oct 10, 2007 at 8:26 AM EST
	I love the scat singing towards the end. Her music is so soothing.

No Picture rockman Average	#9 by rockman the sequel at Oct 15, 2007 at 8:13 AM EST
	hmm i think these songs aretoo new for having lyrics posted, cus im very sure in the last couple ive looked at that she says something else, like i this song , the lyrics above say "There's a prison with a window It's the light begin " im pretty sure se says "lets the light leak in"
