It’s his time, and there’s a her / he’s been gone for months I’m sure / that his laugh is ringing louder than it was before / and we will let him go / spare the time alone / ‘cause her love, he deserves / it will mend the sores / of an old love broken down by old age / he’s watching you / he wants you to give her all of your love / boy the pain will fade / I’m watching you / I want you to be happy / be happy / innocence, lessons learned / I’m ready, the tide has turned / could she really be the one I’ve been waiting for? / the kick drum in my chest / a mirror, my hair’s a mess / if you leave promise you will come back to me / and if our paths don’t cross each other’s alone / I’ll find a way to go where you go / and when the ocean closes between us we’ll set / sail together in this life forever / and I will take good care of her rest assured / I’ll love her and you will see her again / you’ll see her again / it’s simple, we’re almost there / a small room, just two chairs / take my hand, hold it tight / when we sleep tonight / the water that kept our love alive / will flow until our worlds collide / and the space that kept our hearts miles apart / will make room for our life to start / our life will start right here with you

Secrets
03:59
|
|||
why is it you seem to be nothing but oh so happy? / when I would cry if I were you / and am I so wrong to wonder why / you can live your life lost in your mind / a place so empty, you have betrayed / every thought but how to get laid // chorus: and I know I shouldn’t tell / my secrets should be kept to myself / why’s happiness sometimes such a difficult sell? / I bet you think you know just how I feel // I sometimes feel masculine / because I don’t know how to win / against a woman who looks like her / and though I try on most days / to put on a face I can display / I sometimes wish that I could pay the world to look away //chorus// does it make me bitter to think you’re naïve? / and a tad too simple for the likes of me / of course I want pleasure but let’s be serious / there’s nothing more left here for the two of us / call me depressed, call me a feminist / call me what you want, I could not care less / I choose to see the world I’m living in / that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying it / oh I’m enjoying it / ya I quite like it / so eat shit //chorus//

Warm

I realize I could give up / I have no one to sing of / and I’m scared / but the bags hanging round my door / and his kong on the kitchen floor / have filled by cup with love / just because I’m wrong doesn’t mean that I should stop / I know I could be happier but that’s just tough luck / ‘cause this song’s making my dog cry / and I think I should be by your side / but I’m not // chorus: and it took me a while to know / that the worst place for me to go / is to your place when I’m feeling this way / and the light shining in my face / as I fall asleep to the taste of what it feels like to be alone / will keep me warm / warm / ‘till someone comes home // like the saying goes I’ll just dust myself off / remind my heart of everything that I’ve never lost / then I’ll make myself dinner / and wish I was thinner / and hold it against you that you loved her / and maybe I will be better off / but these core feelings won’t subside / ‘till I convince myself that I tried / to come to terms with a fate I can’t win / ‘cause the truth lying in the stars / has made it apparent that I’m not yours / did the fact that I loved you make me lose a friend? //chorus// ‘till you come home

Tandoori Chicken
03:50
|
|||
your underwear on my floor / your blond hair in my tandoori chicken / I cooked all day / come sit down this should not go to waste //chorus: but I’ve known you for too long to say I give up let’s move on / and I should not wait so long to say I love you / I sometimes forget // my darling you can’t wear that / that lipstick makes you look fat / your chewing drives me insane / you drink too much / you just complain //chorus// and it took us time to get here / but the way you laugh makes it clear / that you are the only one I’ll ever love / and if we keep our heads up high / and give it our best shot keep trying / we’ll know just what to do / we’ll make it through / just me and you / ‘cause I would not waste my time on any other / why bother? / when your flaws are the reason I love you just the way you are / and I would not waste my time on any other / why bother? / when your flaws are the reason I love you just the way you are

By You
04:01
|
|||
I was scared years ago that I wouldn’t meet / someone with your soul; a place so deep / where my love for you could grow and grow / a place that I no longer need because now I see // chorus: that I can’t love you anymore than I do now / if I could, I’d try to, but there’s no way it’s possible / like the rain needs the clouds to come pouring down / I need your love in my life, need to hear your sound / I was found by you // and the small span of a hallway made me realize that we / were standing much too far away than we were supposed to be / and just one glance at your smile; miles and miles / I would run for you just to say this here to you //chorus// take my hand / the sun shines brighter baby without you I cannot stand / I have planned a life for us together try to comprehend / that like the colours staining these glass windows / without you I have no hue / you make me glow / I hope you know I love you //chorus//

Knee Deep
04:46
|
|||
I’ve been thinking lately about a thing we call love / head over, feet forward, walking down, gaining ground, losing, sweet sweet love / I’ve tried each time to pursue hidden clues / knee deep I got stuck in mud / stained and tainted I walked on ‘till I could see through the clouds / and there you were / an answer to the pains that were keeping me sore / you let me in but then you slammed my fingers in the door / when I say go you think I’m asking you for more / here comes the rain, just walk away // chorus: dirt turns sticky / we’re stuck knee deep / in this thing we call love / this could be love, this could be // I once saw a man cross the street with bare feet / frozen, a smile on his face / splintered and cold he tried to keep warm / with a coat from his past life / to my surprise / he started running ‘till he reached the other side / into her arms wide open, they began to cry / I can’t say for sure but I think the world just might / have witnessed true love that day //chorus// oh what can we say / when we know nothing about the way this could go / and I will try a thousand times ‘till it feels right / it might feel right a thousand times / you think you love me / I’m tired and thirsty / dry mouths we both dive in / but refuse to swim / why do we confuse our hearts with all of these games? / roll the dice and wait for them to walk our way / we’ve all got filthy scars and souls made out of clay / won’t you let love shape yours today? //chorus//

Tears For You
05:28
|
|||
this is meant to hurt you / spill the truth / stain you / with soul shattering / heart hating / words so mean / like you and I were never right / and your selfish pride will keep you curb side / and love won’t agree with your cowardly ways / and your remaining days will be spent all alone // chorus: but now I see just what you really meant to me / tears for you won’t dry / ‘till I cry out my eyes now for you, love / ‘till I’ve had enough of you // I’m so sorry that you’re ugly and unemployed / if I knew of a lesser man, I bet you’d be his fan / aspire to be like him / and I know not what I saw in you / an old man with one too few upstairs / and if I may give you one last hit / it’s that she’s a stupid bitch and you will regret this //chorus// how was I so wrong? / you kept my heart for too long / and your sensitive bit sucked me in / you laid it thick / are you so cruel that you made your move in her perfume? //chorus//

Chain
06:09
|
|||
I can’t pretend your silent ways / were the best I had in my better days / and though you know me better than he does now / I feel you less each passing year somehow / and what I want I know I don’t need / so don’t waste your time trying to forgive me / ‘cause I’ve used you when I needed hope and grace / but left you stranded each happy sunday // chorus: the guilt I feel now may not escape my thoughts / but I think I’ve done the best with what I’ve got / and the guilt on my chain and his attractive face / has held me down but made this a better place / for you // I’ve got boots to fill and bills to pay / but what does it matter if we’ll all be gone someday / and he loves me more than I thought he could / so let me stay / I’ll do all you say I should / and I’ll never know the way it’s been / a whole life through, stuck with him / and my gambling tongue will question the father and son / if only they know which day we’ll all be done / and I may not believe in you specifically / but just in case don’t forget about me / ‘cause I’ve been good and look up time and again / hoping there you’ll be reaching out your hand //chorus//

Scream
04:38
|
|||
I saw the wind take shape on the tail of a garbage bag today / and as it drew curly queues in front of me / I realized how to be free / sometimes I’m scared that what I do best has nothing to do with how I spend my time / that every day the decisions I make trap me in a place I’m afraid to call mine / and I’ve turned every love into a part time job / and my new life has robbed all of my creative thoughts / but each and every song cut down right to the bone / has pieces of him thrown in each and every tone / what some call success I know as insecurity / we change the way we move ‘cause someone could be watching / and I thought I found myself, but that was years ago / take from me any hope and give me some time alone / and I’m not lost / no I’m not wasting my time / I could lose you / if you left me I’d be fine / no we’re not lost / and we’re not wasting our time / we could lose / we could lose / but we’ll be / we’ll be fine / though we’ve turned most our loves into a part time job / and our lives have robbed all of our creative thoughts / and each and every song cut down right to the bone / has pieces of you thrown in each and every tone / so take this hint from me ‘cause I’ve been so naïve / some call it misery but some have been cheating / we’ve got the world you see / wrapped up in front and we must / whisper if we can’t speak / why can’t I hear you scream?

Still (soliloquy)
05:12
|
|||
I’m not over it / I thought you were it / and if I could just let go / I would / but I saw your sweet face earlier today / but I hid because I knew right away it would be too hard to stay / and admit that // chorus: I do love you still / and I have tried to be with you since / and I do not love anyone but you // can you remember that night? / our bodies beneath the starlight / a moment you knew I created for you to ensure you feel like I do / and I’m back to making you / the things that I wanted you to be / but at least I knew not before what I do / my heart lies for you //chorus//

Christmas Without You
04:53
|
|||
babe it’s Christmas / and I miss us / the snow feels so cold without you to hold / and I’m crazy for you lately / each song that I hear makes me wish you were here / stop your crying / I’d be lying / if I told you right now that I’m not feeling down / ‘cause I miss you / my gift for you / a few weeks of love ‘till we’ve had enough / let us hold each other one more time this year / forget our struggles / love like lovers do / soon this feeling will disappear / but in the meantime come here and be mine and love me / and this ugly Christmas tree / love me / there’s no reason to feel lonely baby / and I know we tried / to make this thing work / each time we got hurt / but can’t we confide in the love we once shared? / ‘cause I’m not prepared to do this without you / without you / I don’t want to / spend Christmas without you / without you / I don’t want to / let us hold each other one more time this year / forget our struggles / love like lovers do / soon this feeling will disappear / but in the meantime come here and be mine / hold each other one more time this year / soon this feeling will disappear / but in the meantime come here and be mine / and love me / and this kitschy Christmas tree / love me / there’s no reason to feel lonely baby / baby
