Biography

Vanessa Carlton was born on August 16, 1980, the first of two daughters born to Ed and Heidi Carlton. Raised in Milford, Pennsylvania, her mother was a piano teacher, and exposed Vanessa to classical music from a young age. By age two, she began playing the piano, and at age 9 became obsessed with ballet. She joined the School of American Ballet at age 14, living in a dorm at Lincoln Center and enrolling in the Professional Children's School. During her time at the academy, she continued playing the piano and writing songs, nurturing her blossoming songwriting skills. Upon graduation, she moved to Hell's Kitchen, where she waitressed five nights a week and performed at local clubs on open mic nights, honing her craft and developing a stage presence. At home, she would often stay up until 4 a.m. recording demos on a four-track machine, and was signed to A&M Records in 2001. Her first video, for the song "A Thousand Miles," was released even as she continued recording her debut album, and it became an instant smash on MTV, as well as cracking the American Top Ten. This lead Rolling Stone magazine to name her as one of the 'Top Ten Artists to Watch in 2002.'

LYRICS

I've seen myself in a thousand faces
Strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me
But I cannot do the math
And this fashionista's garden party
Well I had enough of that

'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes the only one I come undone

But I'm a special lover sometimes
But you only touch a ghost
I'm a sycophantic courtier with an elegant repose
And needless to say you're the one that I need the most

'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes the only one I come undone for is you
Well the only one I come undone for is you

I know I'm done (I)
And now I see the truth
I know I'm done (I)
Come undone for you
And you've been gone for so long
Waiting here for you
You've been gone for so long
Come undone for you

There are people in this lifetime that we should never meet
'Cause to be here now without you
Well, my life's so incomplete
I'll tell you what you mean to me and maybe then you'll see
Ahhh
Ahhh, nahh

'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for is you

No, no...
