An oddly warm November day
Sitting on the porch
Watching the seasons change
Yet the world stays the same
Watching the sun simply fade away
Like it does everyday
Tomorrow the world won’t be the same
Slight change brought the world to where it is today
What kind of world do you want
What kind of world would you chose
Back at the beginning oh what would you do
You’re not the only one who cares what
happens the next day
Or frustrated by what you can’t change
You start thinking
And thinking can start the change
Would you watch your life
Continue to pass in front of your eyes
....................................................................................................................
How you doing now girl
The world is different now girl
That he’s left this world behind
Now it’s all about you so take your time
‘Cause time will only heal your pain
Don’t feel guilty about the past
Don’t feel guilty ‘cause he’s gone
He has lost all control
I can see your relief
I can feel your sweet relief
It’s good to have you back again
What a beautiful way to die
He’s freed your life
What a beautiful way to die
He’s freed your life
He drank into his sadness
He drank away your happiness
He left you there on your own
He gave up his need to fight
He gave up on his life tonight
And now you’re glad you’re on your own
Please don’t chose another man
Like your father, he won’t understand
Only past ghosts can hurt you now
Cold stone represents him now
You’re so kind and gentle girl
....................................................................................................................
A girl can’t help liking her
Reflection in your eyes
But a mirror image I can’t reflect
I’m not your soul mate
But it’s demise
This is a role
I don’t want to play
But somehow got the part
Don’t place your heart in these hands
It won’t be safely kept
You can’t help the way you feel
But then again neither can I
Your kindness it won’t wear me down
Even with the help of time
Holding you on this line
I can draw you in or push you away
Depending on the pleasure of mine
Want you to be free from me
Oh, I’m not looking to hurt you
But you’ve left me standing here
With nothing left to do
....................................................................................................................
Came home alone the other night
Changed my mind for the millionth time
Now it’s waiting for you to stop by
And space doesn’t exist
I should have learned from lost friends
The irrelevance of this
Cause everyone, needs someone sometime
Everyone’s waiting for someone
I was doing alright
Now I’m better than fine
Just had to be standing in a different kind of light
Have I always been half alive
Or just let myself be dead
It’s the little things you can’t comprehend
Like why I’m feeling this way
....................................................................................................................
You ask me to come on over
Sit beside you get a little closer
A night of talk and silent thoughts
Let’s hold this awhile
While everything else melts away
Is there a road reaches both our desires
Or travel a path all alone
You and I have different lives
Can we survive standing past this crossroads?
Here we stand
Moment in time
Has left me changed
Will never be the same
You need to know
Well I need to know
Could you wait on me awhile
I am naïve, in denial
Need you to hold me
Want you to hold me
Tonight
Feels good you lying here beside me
You whisper you want to be with me
But I am young, scared, confused
To think I want to be with you
Need some time to figure it out
You feel this way
How long can it last
Before you move on
To somebody else
But I can’t stand to lose you
....................................................................................................................
She can’t stand to be alone
Never been alone
Since you turned up in front of her face
Giving no place
To turn, you seemed pretty damn good at the start
How quickly the future becomes the past
Each day moving faster than the last
You won’t last, You won’t last
You won’t last
She sheds her face full of tears
Silent laughter’s how you meet her fears
Curiosity is a silent stare
He dangles diamonds near her
Cause he fears
He’s losing all control
She’s so good to everybody
Everybody’s not good enough to her, to her
....................................................................................................................
Saturday time moves so slow
You’ve left me here on my own
You gave up, you gave up
You gave me up
I met you I couldn’t believe
How happy I could be
You built me up
We built our life up
Then you gave me up
Time to say goodbye
To all of the happiness I’ve ever known
I have to learn to let you go
Have to learn to let you go
Lately I live to work
Lately I live alone
Sleeping’s never been so cold
Since you gave me up
You don’t think I know
Don’t think I know her face
One more reason I’ve been misplaced
Since you gave me up
....................................................................................................................
You and I know
You and I know
We can’t stay
We can’t stay this way, this way
You’ve overstayed and I’ve been played
To many times before
You beg my attention
To endlessly adore
You want more
You want more
I can’t give, I can’t give
You no more
You want more
You want more
I can’t give, I can’t give
You no more
You say
Work at seven, home by three is fine by me
Change your job, forget your dreams
Is all you need
It’s all you need then you’ll be so happy
You think I’m weak to leave you say I’m
crazy
But you’re the one that’s acting strange to me
And I don’t care, don’t care what you need
You loved my love
It made you feel so good
....................................................................................................................
The moment we fell always seemed yesterday
Until today
The day we started to drift away
And this old place just isn’t the same
Cracks and drafts and
Old things packed away
It’s simply time to move away
No I won’t stay
Gotta get away
Won’t stay
No how, No why, Won’t stay
No way
How stupid to simply believe
We could just move things around
But the something we’re looking for
We lost or never had anyway
What’s the point if you’re just going to
ignore
That look on your face says you’ve been here before
Before
....................................................................................................................
Another Circle around the Sun
I can tell by the way you look at me
Nobody grows up thinking this is the way it’s going to be
Going to turn out to be
I can tell by the way you look at me
That your eyes hoped to see something more
Something more
But virtue won’t equal my happiness
Another circle, another circle around the
sun
Another year has come and is done
I have overcome
I have overcome
I have overcome
I can tell by the way you look at me
Your disappointment didn’t want to be near me
But you don’t know how I feel and who I am
Who I am
‘Cause virtue won’t equal my happiness
Some minor disasters and major distractions
I’ve been bruised but my life is stronger
Is stronger
....................................................................................................................
Everyone’s asking you
Will you have to go away
Oh then they make that face
And wonder why you’d ever want to go
Go to that place
Fight for a race
They’ve never met before
Where freedom is chased
It’s worth your fight
For everyone’s right
To life without fear
There’s so much more
To fighting this war
Than we’ll ever know
A safe place to live
A safe place to learn
A safe place to love
If I had no voice
Never given a choice
I’d want to know
Yes I’d want to know
That someone like you
Could give a damn about me
About me
....................................................................................................................
I stare at your beautiful
Face and I’m wondering, where’d you go?
I search for a place to hide your race against time
But it’s all in your mind
You’re feeling so alone
I love you
I need you
I try to forgive
The madness that’s stolen your life, stolen my wife
I am a man of God, praying
No begging you to recognize who I am
Screaming inside, frustration I hide
You can’t move a love like mind
I love you
I need you
Don’t know what to do
I am losing you
Each and every day you slip farther and farther away
I know who you really are
I know you
I hold you
I’ll hold on to your life
