HOLD ON

SOMEONE

Just want someone to sing to
Someone to write about
Someone to cling to
Someone I can't live without
Somone to hold
Someone who will hold me back
Someone I can show
All the love I have
Just want someone to walk with
At midnight on the beach
Someone to lay with
When I'm helpless, tired and weak
Someone to trust
Someone who will trust me back
Someone who knows
All the love I have
Just want someone to talk to
When life just isn't fair
Someone who'll be there
When less is what I could care
Someone who'll make
My darkness bright
Someone who'll say I do
And I do too
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
repeat
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you babe
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you
I got nothin' but love for ya babe
repeat

I DON'T DESERVE IT

I stopped taking my pills today
I know you said that I should wait
But I think I've gone far too long without feeling
That's a lie I've felt this pain all along
Since I went away it's been so strong
You don't know how much you mean to me baby
When I'm lying in bed and I look at my life
It's just me my thoughts and nothing else
I know in my heart of hearts I don't deserve it
When I'm lying in bed and I look at my life
It's just me my thoughts and nothing else
I know in my heart of hearts I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
I confide in few
i lied to you
You can see the truth
I know you do
That's beside the point I'm trying to make here
You live and learn
I live and burn
I make mistakes
And in return
I get some kind of a pass
You say I deserve it
When I'm lying in bed and I look at my life
It's just me my thoughts and nothing else
I know in my heart of hearts I don't deserve it
When I'm lying in bed and I look at my life
It's just me my thoughts and nothing else
I know in my heart of hearts I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it


YOU SHOW ME LOVE

The way you walk
Reminds me of
The way you talk
Shows me all the things
I need to know and more
You show me love
The way you laugh
Reminds me of
The way you cry
Shows me all the things
I need to know and more
You show me love
I'm waiting for the darkness
I'm waiting for the rain
Lightening will strike you down again
There's nothing left to wonder
Everything's the same
Lightening will strike you down again
The way I am
Reminds me of
The way you are
Shows me all the things
i need to know and more
You show me love
I'm waiting for the darkness
I'm waiting for the rain
Lightening will strike you down again
There's nothing left to wonder
Everything's the same
Lightening will strike you down again
I said she don't know what I mean
There's nothing in this world could ever be
I said she don't know what I mean
There's nothing in this world could ever be


WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME

I wanna' fall asleep and lie here forever
Oh no I woke up the voices in my head
But I'm gonna tell them
To hold their breath
Cuz' I'm not listening anymore
What do I have to do
Who do I have to be
What do I have to say
To make you see
What you're doing to me
I feel a little short of breath
I'm trying to find way to clean up this mess
That you left for me
I'm tired of waking up to this depression
Just wanna lie here and dream in your arms
I wanna show you who I am
But you're not listening anymore
What do I have to do
Who do I have to be
What do I have to say
To make you see
What you're doing to me
I feel a little short of breath
I'm trying to find way to clean up this mess
That you left for me
That you left for me
That you left for me
That you left for me
That you left for me
That you left for me
What do I have to do
Who do I have to be
What do I have to say
To make you see
What you're doing to me
I feel a little short of breath
I'm trying to find way to clean up this mess
That you left for me


PEACEFULLY

You say goodnight
Cuz the day is over
But I still have some things on my mind
You drift away
To a place I try so hard to find
Most nights
Won't you keep me in your dreams
Hold me while you sleep
Hopefully I'll join you soon peacefully
I watch you while you sleep
Say a prayer that I will fall asleep
I lie awake
I've made mistakes and I see
Them clearly when the world's asleep
I see them clearly when the world's asleep
Won't you keep me in your dreams
Hold me while you sleep
Hopefully I'll join you soon peacefully
I watch you while you sleep
Say a prayer that I will fall asleep
You hold me while you sleep
Hopefully I'll join you soon peacefully
I watch you while you sleep
Say a prayer that I will fall asleep


HOLD ON

It's 2am and I'm at it again
Thoughts of my life
And the time I have spent
Waiting for somthing
That may or may not
Appear out of nowhere
I look at the clock
It's 3am and I'm drowning in sorrow
I'm going to hell
And I'm going tomorrow
A voice from the distance
A faint sort of cry
Begs me to stay
As I open my eyes
And I notice you begging
I notice you crying
I notice you saying
You don't feel much like dying
Back to my life now
Back to what's real
Going to bed has just lost it's appeal
So hold on
Hold on
Tell me now
What it is I should do
Break down a barrier
I thought that you knew
My mind is the thing
That will make me or break me
I will not give up
Just please don't forsake me
And I notice you begging
I notice you crying
I notice you saying
You don't feel much like dying
Back to my life now
Back to what's real
Going to bed has just lost it's appeal
So hold on
Hold on


DON'T ASK ME

Am I allowed to make a face
Am I allow to change
I'm gonna go lie down for a bit
It's all I need to stay sane
Don't ask me
If I'm alright
Well I'm fine
In my mind
Don't ask me
To tell you
How I'm feeling
There's no reason
Am I allowed
To make your day
Am I alowed to say
That all I need's a little space
All I need's a break
Don't ask me
If I'm alright
Well I'm fine
In my mind
Don't ask me
To tell you
How I'm feeling
There's no reason
And all I really wanna do is wait for the rain
All I really wanna do is sit here and pray
And all i really want from you is to understand
But you can't understand
Don't ask me
If I'm alright
Well I'm fine
In my mind
Don't ask me
To tell you
How I'm feeling
There's no reason
Don't ask me
If I'm alright
Well I'm fine
In my mind
Don't ask me
To tell you
How I'm feeling
There's no reason


BLAME

You don't understand
What I see in my head
I love all of it
I have to admit
You can blame it on the weather
You can blame it on me
You can tell me that I put myself
In the very place I see
You can blame it on my father
He's not alot like me
Can someone tell me why I'm lonely
And if I'll always be
Things I know I love
You are my love
I fill my soul
It's not enough
You can blame it on the weather
You can blame it on me
You can tell me that I put myself
In the very place I see
You can blame it on my father
He's not alot like me
Can someone tell me why I'm lonely
And if I'll always be
You put me to shame
It's not easy to change
Go on make my day
I think I want you again
You can blame it on the weather
You can blame it on me
You can tell me that I put myself
In the very place I see
You can blame it on my father
He's not alot like me
Can someone tell me why I'm lonely
And if I'll always be


ELYSE

Let's talk over coffee
We'll head for the hills
We can love one another
And forget what we killed
We'll hope there's no God
And if there is it's too late
But I'm sure as we're dying
We'll ask to be saved
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like I've made
We'll run from our problems
We won't tell our mothers
We'll pretend our whole lives
Have been devoted to others
Maybe I'll be famous
And still call you honey
Or live on the street
Begging for money
Either way my depression
It won't go away
What's so good about a prayer
Gone unanswered each day
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like I've made
I'm going home
And I'm gonna save
So I can be with you
I'm sharing your pain
You told me there were two
And I'm gonna be sick now
I hoped you would do what I said
It's too late now
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like I've made
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like I've made


THE MAGIC NUMBER

I remember the walk
I remember the talk we had
About the future
We talked about our younger years
Our older years
Our thoughts and fears
Time goes by so fast
You came into my life
You made and impact
And then you were gone
You said you'd find me
Somewhere down the line
Take your time
21's the magic number
Thought I'd see you a bit sooner
Take your time
Through my window
I'll be waiting there
Eyes wide open
I have to stare
Your all mine
I know it's been a while
Since I last saw your face
But I haven't forgot
Your on the clock
Maybe this is what I'm missing
Probably not
You came into my life
You made and impact
And then you were gone
You said you'd find me
Somewhere down the line
Take your time
21's the magic number
Thought I'd see you a bit sooner
Take your time
Through my window
I'll be waiting there
Eyes wide open
I have to stare
Your all mine
21's the magic number
Thought I'd see you a bit sooner
Take your time
Through my window
I'll be waiting there
Eyes wide open
I have to stare
Your all mine


THIS IS A TEST

This is a test
I hope I pass it
The blood in my veins
An open casket
I reach for the stars
Get a handful of Mars
Bring me back to earth
It's only a test
Come back to earth
I promise to do my best
Bring me back to earth
It's only a test
This is a Test
I hope I pass it
Review, reward, wreak havoc
Other lives unfair
Unknown to you
Struggle the same in their brain
It's only a test
Come back to earth
I promise to do my best
Bring me back to earth
It's only a test

LOVELY LONELY PLACE

SPRINGTIME IN DECEMBER

Downtown Crossing never looked so lonely
Paper plates and plastic treys in the morning
The weather’s fine but the mood is stormy
I’m coming out to see myself
I’m coming out to see myself in you
I’ve got a couple bucks in my pocket yawning
A couple tricks up my sleeve I’m waiting
For the right time to strike up a conversation with you
Better days and better times
Better ways and better lines
You better be damn sure how you feel about me
Cuz I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
I will surprise you ya hear
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
You might like something that you don’t hear
Christmas lights never looked so evil
I miss you more now than I ever have
I walk along this rope to reach you
Give me reason or give me rhyme
Give me time hit my stride will you?
Cuz I have some things I keep inside
You say I’m good but I hypnotize
Look around you and all you’re gonna see are lies
A pretty face
A pretty smile
Pretty soon
In a little while
You’re gonna find out who you really are
And it will surprise you
It will surprise you
Be careful my dear
It will surprise you ya hear?
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
You might like something that you don’t..
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
I will surprise you ya hear
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
You might like something that you don’t
You might like something that you don’t
You might like something that you don’t hear
 

 

CLOSER TO YOU

I’m not what you wanted
But I guess I’ll do
I’m not what you need right now
But baby I need you
Simply put you could do better
But I can’t do better than you
You’re not indecisive
But when it comes to me
Either you cannot make up your mind
Or you’re not speaking truthfully
Simply put I won’t do better
But you could do better than me
Better than you I have not seen
In all my life
Better than me walks down the street
In broad daylight
I think I could love you
Or maybe I already do
And I’ll take however much you can give me right now
You can owe me in the future
Simply put I will do whatever it takes to be closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
I want you to be closer to me
Better than you I have not seen
In all my life
Better than me walks down the street
In broad daylight
 

ALL MY LIFE

A man like me needs a woman like you
Cuz when I see
It's only daylight for a moment
That's why I need you
To open up the sky
And remind me that
I can make it if I try
And if you do me this
I'll love you all my life
All my life
A man like me
Needs a woman like you
At times I feel
I don't feel anything at all
That's why I need you
To open up my mind
And remind me of
What's wrong and what is right
And if you do me this
I'll love you all my life
All my life
A man like me
Swears to God
When the time is right
It's time we fight
That's why I need you
To open up my eyes
And remind me of
What's wrong and what is right
And if you do me this
I'll love you all my life
All my life

PEARLS

I’d sell my soul if I had any takers
I’d rest assured only if were able
I pull the wool over your eyes
I’m a sheep in a fable
I sleep where I stand
Like a horse in a stable
I’ll think of today when I wake up tomorrow
I’ll say yesterday’s gone and I did nothing but wallow
In the sadness I create
Oh how I live for the feeling
If the road wasn’t traveled at all
Robert Frost there’s a reason
I’m mixing things in this glass that’ll let me
Forget about you and how much you upset me
I saw the writing on the wall
I just couldn’t read it
If you can’t bare being alone
I understand why you need him
Don’t take your own advice
If it’s not any good
Cuz I’d pay overprice for pearls if I could
Your listing traits that I have and your saying they’ll get me
Nowhere fast in a world that’s gonna convict me
Of everything I’m not
Well ya I know what you’re saying
But when I’m no longer calling the shots
I’ll go rest in my grave then
Figures round up and down
You’re taking your chances
On the dollar bill
It’s gonna bring you future advances
If this is all we are
Well maybe money’s the answer
But when you look up out at the stars
Don’t money feel like a cancer
Don’t take your own advice
If it’s not any good
Cuz I’d pay overprice for pearls if I could
Won’t you make me happy
Make me proud
Tell me you can’t live without my love
Make me happy
Make me proud
Tell me you can’t live without my touch
(Repeat)
 
 
SOMEONE ELSE

Every time I see you I get nervous
It’s not your beauty or your gentle ways
It’s cuz I know if I don’t play my cards right
You’ll be gone just as fast as you came
Cuz someone else is bound to see the things that I do
Someone else will scoop you up and treat you right
But if someone else loves you more than I do
I’ll shake his hand and send you on your way
But he’s not real and I am here today
Every time I see you I get anxious
Cuz I just don’t know how many more chances I’m gonna get
Fate and luck and timing all have their say in it
But if you love me I will love you till the end
Cuz someone else is bound to see the things that I do
Someone else will scoop you up and treat you right
But if someone else loves you more than I do
I’ll shake his hand and send you on your way
But he’s not real and I am here today
Every time I see you I get nervous
It’s not your beauty or your gentle ways
It’s cuz I know if I don’t play my cards right
You’ll be gone just as fast as you came
Cuz someone else is bound to see the things that I do
Someone else will scoop you up and treat you right
But if someone else loves you more than I do
I’ll shake his hand and send you on your way
But he’s not real and I am here today

FEEL IT HOW

Come on break it down
Nothing stays the same
But you can make a name for yourself
I can see the sound
It's bearing down on me
Come on break it down
I've made a name for myself
I can feel the crown
It's weighing down on me
I can feel it now

OUR AMBIANCE

I walked up to the top of the stairs
And I looked around
I felt your breath on the back of my neck
And it shook my ground
You asked me simply
What do you want?
And I couldn’t get off with a smile
And all the great questions and mysteries of the world
The truth lay there in your eyes
Cuz with you and me
The question you see
Is how do we prolong tonight?
I sat down at the foot of the bed
And I looked around
I felt my blood rush when you held me so tight
And I could feel us start to love
I asked you simply
Why’d you wanna go
A beautiful woman you are
And all the great pain and sadness of the world
Seem to take shape in your eyes
I said I’d hold you close all through the night
If it’ll keep your hope alive
With you and me
The answer you see
To what I want is tonight

We try to sleep to the beat of chaos
Forgetting time
The birds swim in the pond as we watch
And the rippling tide
I carried you to nowhere and back
You know you laugh like a child
And all the great questions and mysteries of the world
Seem to take shape in your smile
I said I’d carry you on my back
If strength is what you lack
What was stripped from you
I caught a glimpse it’s true
The innocence we share tonight
What was stripped from you
I caught a glimpse it’s true
The innocence we share tonight

 

SICK OF MYSELF

I’m sick of myself
But I have nobody else to be
I’m sick of myself
Could I borrow you for a week
Well, I’m sick of myself
And the way that I speak
And the way that I eat
And the way that I sleep
I drink to forget and it’s killing me
I drink to forget but I always remember me
I’m sick of myself
I’m my own disease
I’m sick of my thoughts
And I’m sick of my needs
Well, I’m sick of myself
And the way that I speak
And the way that I eat
And the way that I sleep
I drink to forget and it’s killing me
I drink to forget but I always remember me
I’m sick of myself
But I have a warrantee
Yeah I’d like to return myself and get a better one please
Well, I’m sick of myself
And the way that I long
And the way that I sing the words of this son
I guess I’ll end it now
I guess I’ll end it now
I said I’ll end it now
 

JAQUELINE

Jackie calls me Mattie
Her daddy didn’t mind
When she stepped out of line
Allie’s, Different Drummer
The place in the summer
Where you saw God in the rain
Oh how lucky the lake
When it proclaimed itself yours
While the dogs were at play
They play…
Hair that flows
With eyes of brown
Speaking softly
Words profound
Jackie calls me Mattie
She said she couldn’t cry
While reading her lines
The forever sunshine
The quiet lullaby
We sang in the road
And oh how simple I know
The decision I made
To be there at her show
Hair that flows
With eyes of brown
Speaking softly
Words profound
I saw twice
I met you once
I lost myself
I found you
Now I have no doubt
In two more days
I’ll have met you twice
How long it takes
Is how long i will wait for you
To let me be your one
Hair that flows
eyes of brown
Speaking softly
Words profound
 

GRASS, BLUE

 You can buy a window
If you wanna look outside
You can spend a lifetime
Wishing you were alive
You can see before you
Before you can say a word
You can make a phone call
And ask em have ya heard?
That we're all walking toward the wall
That we're all still learning how to crawl
A fortune can decieve you
Your fortune will let you know
How fortunate to meet you
How unfortunate to go
Reasons lined with reasons
Someday what you're hiding will show
That we're all walking toward the wall
That we're all still learning how to crawl
