Sad Songs
03:01
|
|||
Colours seem darker than I remember them to be
And words of verse cut more than they used to do
And these sad songs bring only pain
What was and what became of a sad song
Do I carry on as though we never met at all
Burn the photographs that hang and decorate the walls
And these sad songs bring only pain
What was and what became of a sad song
All these things in rooms that clutter and surround
They all remind me of a time when you were around
And these sad songs, there is only pain
What was and what became of a sad song

It Will Mend In Time
02:53
|

I know your mind - I know it wanders from time to time
Just remember that I'm wandering by your side
And though you cry each and every single night
Just remember that my tears are on your side
Still there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
But I will only hurt you more
The longer that I stay
But it will mend in time
I know you're tired - I know you don't sleep through the night
Just remember that I'm restless by your side
And though you're lost and you feel like you could drown
Just remember that I'm right here on the ground
Still there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
But I will only hurt you more
The longer that I stay
But it will mend in time
And though I say these words
Don't know if I believe
But it doesn't hurt
But it doesn't hurt

Even If I Tried
03:30
|
|||
Sunday afternoon and all is still and all is calm
Except the pounding in my head of a drunken drummer that doesn't know the song
Days of wine and roses gone but the memory remains the same
I may not think as clearly now but it haunts me just the same
So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait
But I can't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried
It's not like we never tried to mend what had been torn
I wear my heart upon my sleeve; my jacket cruel, unkind, and worn
Lookin' back it ain't the smartest thing but at the time it's hard to tell
Like my reflection in the mirror - eyes closed heaven, open hell
So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait
But I can't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried
If I tried would you take me back
If I tried would you take me back
Back to a time when I didn't have to try

No Star (In The Sky)
03:31
|
|||
Stuck in a rut
Going nowhere fast
Laying low while my life flashes past
I think about it every minute of the day
Don't know what lies ahead
Don't know where I am
I know I came from somewhere but I'll never understand
I think about it every minute of the day
And there were choices I probably should've made
A little different but I was too afraid
I think about it every minute of the day
And there's no star in the sky for me
I had you in my corner when I was on the ropes
You threw in the towel when I would've choked
I think about it every minute of the day
No I ain't perfect
Never claimed to be
I pushed you away when you meant everything to me
I think about it every minute of the day
I threw a million quarters down that old wishing well
We all got a story that we'd rather not tell
I think about it every minute of the day
And there's no star in the sky for me
I keep searching but I cannot see

Deeper Shade Of You
02:56
|
|||
It's the nights when I get lonely
When the lonesome turns to blue
I never knew that such a sadness could turn a deeper shade of you
I'm still looking for the answers at the bottom of a glass
When I know full well I won't find it there when I'm too afraid to ask
Now I'm living in a dream of yesterdays
At a loss for words when there's so much I could say
You know we've had our ups and down
You know we've had our back and forths
I tried to make amends but it breaks and it bends
I guess I used a little too much force
Now I'm picking up the pieces but they're scattered all around
I tried to cry for help but I can't help myself
I can't seem to make a sound
Now I'm living in a dream of yesterdays
At a loss for words when there's so much I could say

Better Place
03:51
|
|||
Like riding 'round in a broken down limousine for two
Someone's at the wheel I guess but I don't know if it's me or you
If it's me or you, if it's me or you
I know you've been thinking hard but it's still news to me
I never saw it coming, babe, but I always tried to see
To see it your way, to see it your way
When I see your face
Think to myself am I in a better place
But I know it's not true
There must've been a time or two when we didn't fuss or fight
But I can't remember when - out of mind and out of sight
Out of mind and out of sight
'cept when I see your face
Think to myself am I in a better place
But I know it's not true
We gave it a go we gave it the ol' college try
We're both getting older and I'm still asking why
When I see your face
Think to myself am I in a better place
But I know it's not true

If It Ain't Me, Babe
02:42
|
|||
Somedays I'm a catch, others a release
Sometimes I'm a war and others I'm peace
But that don't help us now
No that won't help us now
Somedays I'm the light, others I'm the dark
Sometimes I'm the rain and other times the spark
But that don't help us now
No that won't help us now
There's a window and there's a door
And one's left open a little more
If you should lose your way
Well I'd wish you'd stay
At least until you find
That little stitch in time that you've been waiting for
Somedays I'm a gem, others I'm black coal
Sometimes I lose my mind while others I'm in control
But that don't help us now
No that won't help us now
Somedays I'm insane, others I make sense
Sometimes I stand my ground and others I'm on the fence
But that don't help us now
No that won't help us now
There's a window and there's a door
And one's left open a little more
If you should lose your way
Well I'd wish you'd stay
At least until you find
That little stitch in time
At least until you find what it is you can't define
And if it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, if it ain't me, babe
I don't know what you're looking for, babe

Over My Head
03:20
|
|||
Too scared to put the pen down to the paper
Can't take it back when it's written in stone
All's I've been thinkin' is, baby I love you
Too soon to tell you but my cover's blown
Gonna lay it all out, out on the line
I've been in love but it's different this time
Moving too fast or moving too slow
I get the feeling that you'd rather not know that I'm
Head over heels with a ten gallon hat
Now tell me, babe, what do you think about that
Gonna lay it all out, out on the line
I've been in love but it's different this time
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head and I wouldn't change a thing
Now tell me, babe, what's on your mind
Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine
Just don't go runnin' with my heart in your hands
Don't leave me hangin', I can be a better man
Gonna lay it all out, out on the line
I've been in love but it's different this time
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head and I wouldn't change a thing

Runnin' From The Wind
03:04
|
|||
Go, grab your clothes, pack your suitcase and the radio
We won't be here in the morning, we may not get fair warning
Let's just hold each other tight tonight
Somehow we balance on blade made of fire some might say
We're just waiting for the smoke to clear before we go
So let's just hold each other tight tonight
And oh, we're just runnin' from the wind
Afraid to turn around and start all over again
Are we running out or are we running in or just starting to begin
To erase the past that never seems to last
Let's just hold each other tight tonight
And I've been trying to tell you for so long
I've been trying to help you even though you say you're so strong
There's a feeling in my head - I think too much and I turn to lead
But I wanna run with you and I think that you do too
So Let's just hold each other tight tonight
And oh, we're just runnin' from the wind
Afraid to turn around and start all over again

Offa My Mind
03:05
|

I know we may not be meant to be together, baby
But I can't get you offa my mind
I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, ain't it time you settled down
I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, ain't it time you settled down
You've got your whole life waiting for you
While mine's passing me by
I know we may not be meant to be together, baby
But I can't get you offa my mind
I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, no one's getting any younger here
I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, no one's getting any younger here
You've got your whole life waiting for you
While mine's passing me by
I know we may not be meant to be together, baby
But I can't get you offa my mind
