- Brightest
If you find yourself here on my side of town
I'd pray that you'd come to my door
Talk to me like you don't know what we ever fought about
Cause I don't remember anymore
I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar
- By My Side
It's takin' time, all this fear I pushed back to move on
Beating me like a panic attack since you've gone
And if I never fear to be more alone, I do now
I turn to see my faded tracks in the snow
I've come so far with no idea where to go
And if I never fear to be more alone, I do now
I do now
- California
I miss the way you sing low
So I can't hear your voice over
The radio in my car
But you know every word they say
You knew you just the right thing to say of
Distance ripped us father and farther and farther away
I'll see you soon
- Chin Up
With your eyes closed,
Watching a strange show
Play out in your head,
But you were smiling somehow
- Choose The One Who Loves You More
Rain, rain, rain on my mind
I've got a secret life
Wipe, wipe, wipe it away
Nothing can make me dry
Fight all the while
Fight 'til I think I'm free
Feel rains we never see
- Coffee
There's plenty of time left tonight
I promised I'd have you home before daylight
We do the best we can in a small town
Act like big city kids when the sun goes down
If it's not too late for coffee
I'll be at your place in ten
We'll hit that all night diner
- Coming Around Again
Baby sneazes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in.
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
- Control Freak
"Control Freak"
You lose control when you hold too tight
but turn your head long enough to let it bite
Cause faith let me staring at the ceiling through the night
it's freaking me out
And when I fell asleep it plagued my dreams,
- Good Morning Fire Eater
Wake up your eyes and darling your smile
The day is done and everyone's gone now
You can taste every fire and hold every song
The world has moved, be quick enough to not miss it now
So wake up your eyes and darling your smile
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds
Dear, dear, no
- Hold Nothing Back
Do what you want but I know who you are
Say what you want but I know what you're thinking
If you fall in love
Fall in love and hold nothing back
I'll fall in love
Fall in love and hold nothing back from you, oh
You oh
You oh
- Holding Nothing Back
With a heart so pure
You could fall so quickly
But don't you dare slow down for me
Were it not for hearts like mine
Calloused thickly
You could fall so easily
{Don't you dare slow down for me}
- Love Affair
Fell past the cheekbone and
To be severed for the hope of the world, in an awkward spill
Oh, she lie on her bed and stare into harsh, white light
And think that her heart's not right
'Cause love took head like a thief,
Took her heart like a robber
And the feelings that scare her come hurriedly
- No One Really Wins
Welcome love, I have made a place for you here
And I know every word they say
I don't want it want to make you change
Change if you want, but don't you go and change for me
I can love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave
- Ordinary
Today was fine I woke up late like I always do
Made work just in the nick of time
And thought of you
And when I returned
I found you just like I always do
Waiting for me like you always are
Since you
Came along
- Priceless
I remember when I'd run to you
In field of white flowers
Your embrace is my air
How I needed you there
And all of the world and
All of it's powers
Couldn't keep your love from me no
Couldn't keep your love from me
- Second Star To The Left, Go Until Dawn
All this time away from you
with you would be better
All those days of summer fun
I missed you more than ever
Absence makes the heart grow withered, but fonder still
You know I never will stay silent
It was a big mistake to let me have my way in the first place
- Should You Return
You see the night is all I have to make me fear,
and all I want is just a love to make it hurt.
'Cause all I need is something fine to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.
Because a song is all I have to make me feel,
and all it takes is just a love to make it hurt.
And every sound arranged in time could make me lose.
- Take Care
I'll take care of you oh
Have faith that when you call my name
I'll be there
It was a straight faced lie
I believed
It was a straight faced lie
You would ever leave me
- Testing the Strong Ones
There's an angel by your hospital bed
Desperate to hear his name on your breath
As he looks down you're not making a sound
Open your eyes look at me
I'll bring to you whatever you need
And I'll tell you I'm sorry
That I can't take this pain away from you
- the day i lost my voice
It's sure as the floor 'neath my toes
and somehow not surprised
that I was superimposed
Somehow in this life
And if my friends and my foes would just drop me a line it'd be nice
You see love is a drink that goes straight to my head
and time is a lover and I'm caught in her stare
- The Grey Man
Don't worry now, it's all erased
Burn to grey and white
Your fireproof heart was never wasted
And steady all the while
So You say
Don't worry now, it's all come back
Color rests in night
- The Last Time He Saw Dorie
He's in love with tragedy, in love with tragedy
She was a wreck, but he loved her She was a wreck,
but so was he And the last time he saw Dorie, he
didn't know what to say "Thank you because
you loved me, It's all on me cause I didn't want
to stay, I didn't want to stay..."
Live, live, live because you Love, love, love and
- When Paula Sparks
Sleep now moon
I'll watch over her while the sun is up
And you'll have her eyes again soon
It's a glorious day
And my lonely heart is tired again
And I am
Starved for her attention
