Coffee Burns
03:47
|

|
Coffee burns going down your throat
You look outside, the kids are playing there
You arise; phone the man you had loved
Tell him that he was late again…
“I don’t know if I can stay here”
“I don’t know if I can stay here”
Grab your coat, reach for your keys
Sneak outside, walk towards your car
Drive away and hope they did not see
We saw you go and we were all alone
She doesn’t know if she can stay here
She doesn’t know if she can stay here
She doesn’t know if she is good enough to stay here
She doesn’t know if she can stay

The World Surrounds You
03:28
|
|||
|
Smothered with insanity, it’s everything to try and breathe
Forgotten all you want to be and everything you mean to me
Don’t be scared when the world surrounds you
All alone and the world surrounds you
You’ve lost all intensity, a victim of this tragedy
If ever you’d come back to me I’d be here to set you free
And you’re losing touch, ‘cause it hurts so much
Is it worth your soul if you can’t let go?

Rainfalls
03:58
|
|||
|
In my room with you beside me
Go for a walk, talk it over
Skipping rocks on the cold water
Sit and hold you while the rain falls
I belong to you
You belong to me
Here is where we’ll be
In my memory…when rain falls
Your wet hair sits on your shoulder
You laugh softly as the rain falls
Drenched in deeper thought, with every falling drop.

Tell Me Everything
05:01
|
|||
|
Is this gonna last forever?
Tell me everything will be okay.
As summer turns to winter
Tell me everything will stay the same.
You used to sing me love songs
Tellin’ me everything would be okay.
But now the music’s fading
Tell me everything will be okay.
It’s a voice inside my head.
It’s not that I don’t love you
It’s just that I don’t trust you
Tell me everything will be okay.
I’m scared of where we’re going
But petrified of staying
Tell me everything will be okay.
I’m blinded by impressions
That everything will be okay.
The truth is we’re regressing
Tell me everything will be okay.
It’s a voice inside my head.
It’s not that I don’t love you
It’s just that I don’t trust you
Tell me everything will be okay.
I’m scared of where we’re going
But petrified of staying
Tell me everything will be okay.
Now everything is changing and I’ve been left behind.
My heart was yours for taking, took nothing but your time.
Your lies disguised as love songs, I’m taking back what’s mine.
It’s time I come alive…
It’s not that I don’t love you
It’s just that I don’t trust you
Baby everything will be okay.
I’m scared of where I’m going
But petrified of staying
Baby everything will be okay.
Baby everything will be okay.
Baby everything will be okay…

Just You and Me
03:55
|

|
If all of my ashes arrived at your door
Would you even know that I’d lived?
I’m crippled with fear, I’m in trepidation
I’m lost at the feeling of this
We could be so good together, don’t you think?
Could have a little beach house together
Just you and me…
If all of my wishes were rolled into one
I’d wish for one moment with you
Though you haunt me in dreams and taunt me in daylight
So goes this silent serenade
We could be so good together, don’t you think?
Could have a little beach house together
Just you and me…
Can’t you see what you do to me?
Though I’ve tried I can’t let you go
I still need you so
We could be so good together, don’t you think?
Could have a little beach house together
Just you and me…
Can’t you see what you do to me?
Though I’ve tried I can’t let you go
I still need you so

The Sense of Some
02:26
|

|
The sense of some is so much better
A sense of one that’s so much bigger
Than you and me and all that we could be
Than you and me and all that we believe
Or so I’ve been told.

Shaken
03:53
|
|||
|
I saw the sun in other skies now the sun sets in your eyes
And I’m left shaken
A new wave breaks when I’m with you like a wave of ocean blue
And I’m left shaken
Shaken, I am shaken by you
Shaken, are you shaken by me too?
I try and tell you how I feel but my tongue ties my appeal
And I’m left shaken
I’m wishing “us” were you and me, can only hope that you’ll agree
And I’m left shaken
Shaken, I am shaken by you
Shaken, I’m staring straight when there’s a side view
Shaken, I am shaken by you
Shaken, are you shaken by me too?
It seems fairly obvious to me that we were meant to be
My mind keeps on spinning around you, are you thinking of me too?
Your emerald sunset’s breathtaking
A sullen soul’s awakening to the bliss you’re sure to bring
And I’m left shaken

Crazy
02:54
|
|||
|
Could this be true?
Do I need you?
When you see me
Does it thrill you?
Let’s finish what we started
Where did we all go wrong?
Well I just might be crazy
A little too far-gone
Was this all new?
Did I scare you?
Didn’t try to
Didn’t mean to

Angels After All
03:26
|
|||
|
Went outside to meet you alone at night
Walked to the place and sat near the light
I watched you come and I watched you leave
Did you not see me or did you lie?
It’s okay ‘cause I did not need you today
I’ll be alright
Angels on the corner got me to you
We talked it over ‘cause I need it too
Can’t shake the stalker I’m almost through
I leave the gifts and go on my way

On Again, Off Again
03:50
|

|
Someday we will fly together
You and I are slowly floating on
A cloud of white and sun together
You and I are slowly drifting on
A world of hurt and pain together
You and I are slowly sinking in
A pool of mud and filth together
You and I are slowly drowning…
On again, off again
We’re hanging on, we’re moving on…
On again, off again
We’re hanging on; we’re moving on to nothing
Our one plus one is good together
You and I will end just what is wrong
With everything that’s being together
You and I are slowly fitting in
A heap of desperate souls together
You and I are everything that’s wrong
With being a pair and being together
You and I are slowly spinning…
You and I are everything that’s wrong, but we’re hanging on
We can’t find no one better
You and I are everything that’s wrong, but we’re hanging on
We can’t find no one else

Across the Waves
My dear I said that I would write no matter where I am
My Spitfire crashed and burned last night and thoughts of you are all I have
You’re all I love my darling Mae you’ll be in my heart always
These words I never got to say but I’ll send them across the waves
Victims of life circumstance torn at the soul
Lovers in a distant romance I want you to know…
That I’d fly over the seven seas
I’d fly over the highest peaks
I’d fly through stormy skies
Just to see your eyes
Three days have passed will my hope last until this wreck is found
My heart beats weak short breaths I take as I lie here upon the ground
I wonder if I’ll die in vain? I’m certain God only knows
If heaven’s where we’ll meet again I’ll pray that He takes my soul
You’re all I love my darling Mae I’ll be in your heart always
If heaven’s where we’ll meet again then I’ll see you across the waves

Purely Tangled
06:00
|

Darkened thoughts all around
Feel again love be found
Purely tangled on your point of view
Troubled life let you in
Feel again let love win
You said you wouldn’t go away from me
