TONIGHT
I’m
walking silent and amazed
Hanging with the ghosts of yesterday
But I’ve been swimming in this empty space too long, too long
A complicated tapestry
Of patterns that imprison me I’m
Tired of circles on my floor from pacing wanting more
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place
Their
shadows take the shape of me
I’m tired of trying to be who they want me to be
If only you could see through this disguise and into my eyes
I’m standing on an empty stage
Everyone is watching as I take my place
It’s time to start this play of mine it’s time, it’s time
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place
Day
breaking
Behind me
It’s up to fate to find me
Night falling
Chance calling me
Tonight
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place
CUT
ME LOOSE
Do you
think that maybe one day
We can
sit down and maybe have coffee
And talk
about the love that we shared
Or will
you walk on by me in the street
Cursing
the fact that we ever did meet
And just
pretend that you never cared
You cut
me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own
I realize
that things were not easy
I know
the selfish child that I can be
Sometimes
I am impossible to love
You tried
your best to make me feel happy
Lifted me
up and motivated me
But all
you did was never enough
You cut
me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own again, on my own again
You cut
me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own
EMPTY
BOTTLES
Wake up
to a hangover, an empty shell of me
Doubles are never a good idea after one or two or three a.m.
I called you when I sobered up but I should have known
You’d have better things to do with your time than listen to me
Crying and begging you to come home
It’s a
little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle
Dried my
tears and made some coffee
Washed these shadows off my face
Still can’t sleep in this big bed we used to share
I think its time for me to move out of this place
Still can’t believe its over and there is nothing I can do
But I know that you’re in love with her
And somewhere in my broken heart I’m happy for you
It’s a
little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle
I’m so
parched my lips are dry
Your desert love wasteland of lies
You quenched your thirst on my demise
I swallowed every tear I cried
It’s a
little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle
I WILL WAIT
Here I am
in this beautiful place
I don’t
fit in but I’m walking with grace
So I’m
smiling on the inside but I’m hiding my face
I’m lost
and found I’m all over the place
I will
wait until it’s safe to stay all night like I used too
Run to
you I knew you I drew you to me yeah
It’s not
the words falling out of your mouth
It’s not
the silence on the phone that’s causing me doubt
So come
on baby tell me what your really about
I’m
running up I’m falling down, you turn me inside out
I will
wait until it’s safe to stay all night like I used to
Run to
you I knew you I drew to me yeah
Now
you’ve disappeared and it’s driving me mad
I can’t
believe you threw away what we might have had
And all
my friends are upset they know that you are to blame
Because
you played me and you won in your sick little game
Run to
you I knew you I drew you to me yeah
HOMESICK
Shy
little girl with the big voice and the Hollywood dream
Looks up
at the stars and wonders what her life will be
If she
leaves the ice and snow behind
For the
Hollywood sights and the California sunshine
So she
packs her suitcase and she gets on a plane
Little
did she know she’d never be the same
Honey get
back
Gotta get
back
You gotta
get back home to you
Traded in
her friends and traded in her innocence
Climbed
up to the top never thinking of the consequence
Now she’s
so famous your seeing her on TV
And her
face is on the cover of the trendiest magazines
Yeah
she’s living in a penthouse way up above
She got a
lot of haute couture but she ain’t got love
Honey get
back
Gotta get
back
You gotta
get back home to you
One day
she wakes up and decides it’s time to run
She looks
in the mirror and sees what she’s become
So she
picks up the phone and she calls her mom
She says
“I’m so tired I’m coming home”
Honey get
back
Gotta get
back
You gotta
get back home to you
BETTER
THAN SHE CAN
The dust
of night filtered and exposed
Across
your room
Suspended mid-flight dancing and romancing
The veil
of sunlight
That
hangs by your window
Slowly
creeping across your floor
And I
want more
I can
love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
Two
shadows dance
All over
your wall
In
candlelight
We lay in a trance watching each star fall
Into the
twilight
And in
thru your window
slowly creeping across your floor
But that
was before
I can
love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
All we
left behind
I’m sorry
for every time
I wasn’t
there to be your baby
I can
love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did
Better
than she could ever
DON’T KEEP IT
INSIDE
Dust off
your armor again
The
weatherman says
There’s a
storm moving in
And
there’s trouble within
Love is a
wolf in sheep’s clothes
Each
brutal attack
Tearing
open old wounds
That you
thought you’d stitched closed
All you
need is someone on your side
Don’t
keep it inside
On your
horizon I see
A
hurricane spinning
And
fighting the sea
Now
you’re headed towards me
Well I’m
not afraid of your rain
I’m
holding your hand
Because I
know you’re in pain
Please
don’t feel ashamed
All we
need is someone on our side
Don’t
keep it inside
Well you
should just stay here with me
I’ll pour
you a bath
And I’ll
make you some tea
All we
need is someone on our side
Don’t
keep it inside
Dust off
your armor again
DROWNING
I’m
working on me
Trying to
mend those fences
I’ve
broken
Bridges
I’ve bent
And the
words unspoken
In the
late night hours
We lay
awake
Scared to
death
We’d
never break
The spell
we’re under
Line
after line
We’re
drowning together
Dragging
each other down
The more
we struggle
The more
we drown.
Drown
You’re
running from truth
That
you’re denying
That’s a
problem
It sounds
good to you
But you
know you’re lying
Even tho
you’re trying
I know
you can’t love me
If you
don’t love you
And it
makes me sick
Nothing I
can do
We’re
drowning together
Dragging
each other down,
The more
we struggle
The more
we drown.
Drown
I’m
picking up the pieces
That you
tried so hard to find
Some of
them are yours and others
That I
found are mine
I hope
that one day
You’ll be
better too
And when
that day arrives
I will
give them back to you
We were
drowning together
Dragging
each other down
The more
we struggled
The more
we drowned
Drown
DRIVE
Sometimes
life has no direction
And our
friends are keeping us aliv
I found
her on the rooftop all alone
Just
watching people passing by
We’re
gonna run through time and space
So grab
my keys we’re going for a ride
Drive
Just as
fast you can
You don’t
have to understand everything
It
doesn’t have to stand for anything
Just
drive
Now it’s
late she’s at my door
She needs
a friend to tell her its alright
Dry your
tears put on a coat
We will
escape our ordinary lives
We’re
gonna run thru time and space
So grab
my keys we’re going for a ride
Drive
Just as
fast you can
You don’t
have to understand everything
It
doesn’t have to stand for anything
Just
drive
Drive
Just as
fast you can
You don’t
have to prove anything
Don’t
have to explain anything
Just
drive
Just
drive
AUTUMN
GLOW
You could
say you’ve had too much
You’ve
could say you’ve had enough
But
you’ll never change
Unless
you turn around
It’s been
a while since
I’ve seen
that golden smile
The sky’s
on fire
The sun
is falling in the ocean
Come
outside
Shake off
the day and let it go
It’s time
to take a break
From the machine of daily commotion
Come
outside
And
justify
The
autumn glow
Whatever
happened to getting it on
Dancing
suntanned on the lawn
If you
wanna change
You have
to turn around
It’s been
a while since
I’ve seen
that golden smile
The sky’s
on fire
The sun
is falling in the ocean
Come
outside
Shake off
the day and let it go
It’s time
to take a break
From the
machine of daily commotion
Come
outside
And
justify
The
autumn glow
You don’t
have to be alone
When
you’re far away from home
Oh yeah
The sky’s
on fire
The sun
is falling in the ocean
Come
outside
Shake off
the day and let it go
It’s time
to take a break
From the
machine of daily commotion
Come
outside
And
justify
The
autumn glow
