To Show My Heart Sings
03:45
|
|||
I gave you things
to show my heart sings
thought I saw us together
sweet and serene
I should have seen
this wouldn't last no never
gliding away
forget yesterday
called me to say
it's over
so hard to leave
trust disbelief
tell me again it's over

What Is This Emptiness
04:26
|
|||
you were my favorite
you were my answer
you were my passion
you were my friend
I was your laughter
I was your story
I was your window
I was your view
What is this emptiness
you were my shadow
you were my cold night
you were my warm heart
you were my truth
I was your future
I was your last choice
I was your prison
I was your noise
What is this emptiness

Different Roads
03:02
|

Different roads lead home
I'm trying hard not to trip on the cracks
or end up lying in the gutter
no I don't feel bad inside
in fact I don't feel anything at all
I tried to play the game for a while
got dragged down streets and lost in her eyes
I put my lips all over this town
feeling used and starting to dry out
Then suddenly I realized
I was sacrificing my values and my pride
the pressures were building up all around
what kind of a man did I grow up to be
when sleeping around doesn't work any more
there's no point in rushing into things
yeah it doesn't feel right
no one really wants that kind of suffering

Wild Inside
02:02
|
|||
I wonder who you are
and where you come from
where are you going
can I go there too
are you always that shy
would you mind if I sat closer
I've never been around
a girl as smart as you
I feel like my words are all bad
and my posture sucks too
I think you might be wild inside
just like me
I wonder who you are
and where you come from

Roses in Bloom
03:57
|
|||
watch her glimmering
blinding glow
listen when she speaks
follow her as she drifts aside
run and hide
in her sunlight
sheltered in her secrets
basking in her perfect day
thirsty for her liquor
starving for her roses in bloom
bathing in her river
dying in her ocean so blue
|

Just Go Away
03:48
|
|||
I got money in the bank
but no love in my pocket
I've opened all the doors
except to the room you're in you locked it
they want you then they leave
yeah you're left staring at the floor
so you drive all over town
searching for something more
The story's still the same
they get too close then vanish
you're left looking like a child
so retro and so selfish
you don't know what you need
maybe you do but you don't listen
keep shifting gears again
you don't know what you could be missing
so just go away
I'll break your heart
you'll break mine too
just go away
you'll break my heart
I'll break yours too
just go away
I'll break your heart
you'll break mine too
just go away
you'll break my heart
I'll break yours too
I wish you'd stick around
there's lot's of things to do here
I'll show you my favorite places
like the aquarium on the pier
I want to hold your hand
and see if it fits in mine
we could walk along the sand
and share a special time
Were you scared when you ran away
is there something that could be different
did I say some stupid things
that made you cold and distant
We could have made this grow
just like a flower bud in autumn
but you cut our branch to soon
and now I'm rotting at the bottom
so just go away
I'll break your heart
you'll break mine too
just go away
you'll break my heart
I'll break yours too
just go away
I'll break your heart
you'll break mine too
just go away
you'll break my heart
I'll break yours too
I would do anything
to get you off my mind

Why Do I Need More
02:58
|
|||
why do I need more
than the cool breeze in spring
why do I need more
than an afternoon daydream
than an afternoon daydream
than an afternoon daydream
why do I need more
than the haunting of your whispers
why do I need more
than an evening alone
than an evening alone
than an evening alone
I should be
grateful for your perfume that lingers
and the touch of your skin
that once slid past my fingers
why do I need more
than to think of you wildly
distracted and hoping
that small flame lights burn brightly
that small flame lights burn brightly
that small flame lights burn brightly
why do I need more
than the melody so bitter
why do I need more
than the cracks in my heart
than the cracks in my heart
than the cracks in my heart
I should be
grateful for your perfume that lingers
and the touch of your skin
that once slid past my fingers
why do I need more
than the cool breeze in spring
why do I need more
than an afternoon daydream
than an afternoon daydream
than an afternoon daydream

Never Bad
03:24
|
|||
a little bird awoke me
he said have a better day
stay out in the sunlight
and forget about the rain
I once I met a stranger
I asked her what she thought
she had flowers on her broken dress
and I think her friend was lost
I've been drinking till I'm angry
I don't like to get high
I've wasted all my courage
and now she's seeing another guy
I'm trying to make things alright
trying not to walk alone
but the streets are often empty
and no one's calling on the phone
sometimes I think real hard about it and get sad
but I'll remember you for only good things and never bad
I've been all over searching
trying to find my ideal
but I'm looking in the wrong places
and some wounds need time to heal
I'm throwing all my things away
getting rid of all these clothes
I'm tired of always covering
what my heart wants to expose
sometimes I think real hard about it and get sad
but I'll remember you for only good things and never bad

your name's been following me for a week
I've seen it in the cracks on the street
I yelled it at the top of my lungs
it's brought me a little pain and a lot of luck
it's the only sound that I hear
it grabs me by the hand and it makes things clear
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
your name is all that I need
it floats around my head and it plants a seed
a little hope in a desert so bleak
your name's been following me for a week
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh

No This Isn't Love
03:14
|
|||
no this isn't love
but it's not far away
no this isn't love
but it's not far away
something's ringing deep inside
and it's trembling hum
is keeping us awake tonight
it's fearful how she lays beside
with raven hair and eyes
full of the night
full of the night
no this isn't love
but it's not far away
no this isn't love
but it's not far away
giving up on former lives
we accept the truth and leave the trash behind
locked and trapped in tangled vines
we drift like sturgeons in a murky sea
we found shelter in our bodies but
danger in our minds
danger in our minds
no this isn't love
but it's not far away
no this isn't love
but it's not far away

All Day
04:19
|
|||
we walked around for hours
we talked about the flowers
it was a perfect day
we looked good in the mirror
so glad to have to have you nearer by my side
the time just flew away
we cancelled afternoon plans
I held your sweaty little hands in my own
I'll guide you anywhere
I kissed you in a bookstore
we went back to your place for so much more
we floated in a dream
now nothing is like it was before
my world has changed since I walked up to your door
this happiness is here to stay
I only think of you all day
we saw the best in one another
I liked her dress and how her nails had changed color
I always look the same
the sunlight burned our faces
I took her to my favorite places
but everything looked new
now nothing is like it was before
my world has changed since I walked up to your door
this happiness is here to stay
I only think of you all day
now nothing is like it was before
my world has changed since I walked up to your door
this happiness is here to stay
I only think of you all day

VHS Tapes
03:12
|

damp and in your sheets
were you sleeping
did I wake you again?
you've been coughing lately
and your voice is hazy
I once heard you singing through the night
are you stressed about the morning?
well you don't have to worry
everything will be alright
I'll see you tomorrow
around eight thirty
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
feeling sick for weeks
but working steady
did you miss any classes today?
that medicine's crazy
it's not what you should be taking
I'd have you drink some tea instead
maybe we'll put in some honey
make you feel warm and cozy
I will give you everything that you need
and if you're feeling lazy
we can put on a movie
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes
I'll bring my TV and some VHS tapes

You're Next To Me
03:49
|
|||
whenever I'm with you
I know you feel it too
the flowers start to bloom
and winter ends too soon
when I see your face
it takes me to that other place
where time just gets erased
and all our fears replaced
with courage to climb the highest mountain
and strength to swim across the sea
you're the angel in my dreams at night
and when I'm awake you're next to me
and when I'm awake you're next to me
and when I'm awake you're next to me
you tell me things so true
someday I will love you
you're the eyes I look into
and the hands that pull me through
You're all I want to be
always happy and carefree
you laugh and smile so sweet
and give kindness endlessly
with courage to climb the highest mountain
and strength to swim across the sea
you're the angel in my dreams at night
and when I'm awake you're next to me
and when I'm awake you're next to me
and when I'm awake you're next to me

Ocean Blue
03:39
|
|||
I know you have to go
I wish I could follow you
I understand I can't hold your hand
or sit next to you on the plane
I realize I can't look in your eyes
and you can't see my colors change
I'll miss your place and pillow case
I won't be there to keep you warm
but I'll keep the ocean blue for you
but I'll keep the ocean blue for you
stay strong hope the trip isn't long
I hear it's very pretty there
life isn't fair please know that I care
and miss you here in my heart
when we're alone we'll talk on the phone
but it's really not the same as being home
when you're away I'll search for you all day
but won't find you anywhere in this town
but I'll keep the ocean blue for you
but I'll keep the ocean blue for you
but I'll keep the ocean blue for you

You questioned what was real between us
I'm denying all my thoughts of losing you
I've got ten fingers and ten little toes
and I'm counting down the days
till you come back no one knows
you went away for two weeks maybe more
I'm coughing my apologies out on the floor
We used to be so good now it's all bad
I ruined what we had and we're both sad
well San Diego doesn't seem far away
I'll pack my board in my truck and sit in traffic all day
escape from my panic my guilt and my shame
spend a day out in the sunshine and forget whose to blame
now all I have is this long drive past a little lagoon
siting beside my memories fading soon
didn't I make you so happy in June?
alone I'm staring out the window all afternoon
on this long drive past a little lagoon
sitting beside my memories fading soon
didn't I make you so happy in June?
alone I'm staring out the window all afternoon
there's so many special things I would have shown you
shared the world through my eyes
but you can run away get as far as you can
make everyone else happy and find a better man
adapt to a stranger and have faith in God above
live for tomorrow and make sure to never fall in love
now all I have is this long drive past a little lagoon
siting beside my memories fading soon
didn't I make you so happy in June?
alone I'm staring out the window all afternoon
on this long drive past a little lagoon
siting beside my memories fading soon
didn't I make you so happy in June?
alone I'm staring out the window all afternoon
