- A Goodnight's Sleep
a better slumber
was in your arms
spent tangled up in you
a sudden mourning
crashed in the room
with an uninvited sudden change in you
what can i say?
- Almost There, Going Nowhere
it's time to say a word
"say it like you mean it"
he spoke with a tone of hurt
as my eyes rolled back
hoping for the end
one too many condescending battles for a friend
say another word
- Anyways
"Anyways"
Well I've been given a lot of time
To get my life set straight and my head on right
I assumed that I could do no harm,
Until I started to lose my charm
I've got to go and put it all away
- Bedroom Talk
I got the talk when I was younger
And understood as I recall,
they hadn't mentioned this at all.
My heart was racing like a sprinter
That tripped and fell
In love with a girl just for tonight and that's all
I've got big, big plans
- Best Of Me
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
and so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
Here we lay again
- Birds
Spend the day in your bed taking medicine
If that's the only thing that keeps you calm
Well one of these days you've gotta get up
And get out
There is a purpose for all of my sitting here
If you can't understand well you could
If you could just stretch your attention span
Now, for this song
- Cheek to Cheek
Bound to say something, eyes closed,
It's cold, and I'm home
I feel like nothing again,
Pretending not to care, but I care,
And I care, don't say another word
Our time was worthless, and I tried
We started over and over again, as we let go
We held each other, held hands,
- Decisions, Decisions
I can't wait for this to end
And leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
And sleeping the night in silence
This letdown falls along with me
Onto my bed while rolling over so
Break my heart and break my fall
- Given the Chance
The minute before we play
I'm pacing waiting anxiously
I can't wait to hit the stage
And say hello to jersey
And when the last note rings
And when I've sung all I have to sing
Every minute i will count
Till the next show in the next town
- Hello Houston
lead on
to keep our feelings strong
and make me still believe
our page is one and the same
our ways will separate tonight
you say if we were to wait
some things just might be changed
- Island
Let's sail away
Find our own country
We'll build a house and beds out of palm trees
Let's get away
Let's push our lives aside
I'll sport a smile
Take in some color
- Lasting Impressions
I'll wait til the clock strikes a nerve to spend some time with you
I can't stand to depend on the shadow I cast alone when we should
For the sake of making a statement
Let's make our presence known
Let's show them what were made of
We'll show up in our outfits we planned ahead
To meet the qualifications for a special occasion
Today is your day today is our day
- Leaving
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye,
without saying goodbye.
You and I, cold February night
It's been a half an hour
Taking sweet time saying our goodbyes
One minute more (Go!!!)
- Left Coast Envy
today could be a different day
if the sky lifts up the haze
off of my front lawn
or just another time i hold my tears
for another year
on my way back home
can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
- Make Yourself At Home
"Make it a note to take your pills," she said
"I'll leave them on the table in the same brown bottle you know."
She said, "It's good to have you home."
The second that I smelt the scent of my own house I said it.
"Send just one postcard home,
And call as often as you can to tell us how it goes.
Let us know."
- Making Love To The Camera
This is the distance between point A and point B
Thus a completion meeting the goal we've achieved
And it's the best thing to ever enter my life
After all this time, I'm still taken by surprise
Every time that a stranger calls my name
For a picture to take, if it happens every day
Will there be a picture left to snap,
- Need To Love
North-bound train on a Saturday
Here I come, New York City
Been deep in thought, on a little sleep
Distance took my love away
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?
- Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
Looking in your eyes, I see a paradise.
This world that I found is too good to be true.
Standing here beside, I want so much to give you this love in my heart that I'm feeling for you.
Let them say we're crazy.
I don't care about that.
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart.
- Photography
I've never been so happy to see a photograph of me
then when graced with your company.
You're making a small change to the way
that you wear your heart.
I like it better...I like it... I like it better now
I'll swing from a streetlight
as I will sing oh, oh, oh
- Playing Favorites
i guess the most that i can do
is make a call and tell you the truth
sing the words in melody
and hope that you'll believe me
here's another song for you
so this one this one makes two
i still don't know where to begin
i'll just leave it at this
- Ready
I've been waiting for good news
We're to continue singing these ones
To the same demographic
Be it not perfect
Let it be heard by those taking an interest
Not for the critics holding their ears
Gonna get ready
- Saddest Girl Story
So its safe to say that we've been here before,
Heart torn out, Down for the count,
And still come back for more,
This lesson is learned too well,
- Somebody's Gonna Miss Us
If this is worth my time,
Then I'll be here for a while.
If this is worth your while,
Then you're making me smile.
If S-I-L-Y-M-I still is all you want,
Then I'm not sure how much in common we've got.
If you think you've had enough...
If you think you've had enough...
- Stay Where I Can See You
For months you've been away
You're here a couple days
I've got all of the time in the world
To do with what we please
If it were up to me
We'd have all of the time in the world
Just stay right where I can see you
- Surprise, Surprise
"Hey there love, let's get to catching up.
'Cause I been thinking those thoughts
that must have slipped my mind
that time that I left you there that night."
I replied, "Let me remind you of the guy
you failed to mention all along.
'Cause your actions have consequences and these are them."
- The B-List
Take another hundred names and put 'em on a list
And curse yourself for ever watching it
I'm looking to have to see it to the end
Cause the fastest rat is always gonna win
You've gotta know to hustle to make it in this town
Cause competition stiffens every night
Take another hundred and put it in her hand
- The Best Of Me
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
here we lay again
- The Drama Summer
We could wait for the wind to blow
Or give me a look so cold...It gives me chills
And ends the summer war
My eyes roll
Around and over and again
Falling down, dizzy with sun stroke
I'll be there
And I'll try to identify, try to look through the gray skies in your eyes..
- The Night Life
Last call everybody step up for another
The ring of the bell gives a yell
To the crowd that's behind you
Did she sweep you off your feet
Are you deciding not to leave without her
Without her tonight
Break down all the chairs on the tables
- The World
"The World"
You've gotta hold, hold open my eyelids
If you're gonna shake, shake, shake 'til the morning
I'm gonna put, put things in perspective
And it's gonna take, take, take my precious time
All we need is a reason
For us to dance, dance, dance 'til the break of dawn
- Three's A Charm
Harder every time and it starts to show on my face and on my wall where all her pictures fall.
Getting over a three leaf clover, that I thought was four.
It's just the same as before.
Forget me, girl, I'm still recovering from her.
It hurts so.
I'm sorry, girl, I'm in no shape to love.
It's not you its her.
An absent-minded find was thought to be a lucky break, but what's at steak is only dignity.
