But someday you will..

It's a backward attraction
To your forward eyes
But you're so far sighted
That you can't place trust
In what or who you recognize

I think your bruise was understated
'Cause you can't feel this anymore
It's getting bluer and you can't keep faking
That you can't feel this anymore!!

One last time...

Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away
like every day I said I would.
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen to
that voice of reason inside my head
telling me that we're no good.

But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you.
You're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.

But tonight,
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow.

I'll be stronger.
I'm not gonna break down and call you up
when my heart cries out for you.
And tomorrow, you won't believe it,
but when I pass your place,
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to.

Baby when we're good,
you know we're great.
But there's too much bad for us
to think that there's anything worth trying to save.

Dreaded future..

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.


Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.


I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.


Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."


You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days


Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Stay!!

Darkness comes, on my own,
I don't know, if I'll survive,
One more lonely night
Every day, insecurities,
How they creep, into my mind,
They break me every time
You got the cure that I need
You give me something to take away the pain

Hmm,
So baby give it to me
I need your lovin' to make me feel again

I want you to stay
Let me take your love up to the morning light
Just stay
I know you can help me make it through the night
Cause when you're holding me, from reality
You keep the tears away
Just stay

Set me free, insanities,
Drivin' me, out of my mind
You can make it right
Hold me close, deep inside,
Take me to heaven tonight,
I'll leave myself behind
You got the fix that I need
So come on baby put sugar on my pain

Take me deep inside the moment
Give a little sweetness to my soul
Can't you feel my body callin
Baby don't you go

I Was Once A Loyal Lover

Will I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions

All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

I was once a loyal lover
Whose lips did never seek anothers
But now each love's more like a match
A blinding spark that burns out fast

And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

If you deem it so
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb..

Familiar?

With every sun that sets I am feeling more
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
With an eroding beach disappearing from underneath

And when my mirror speaks, it never minces words
Because these eyes don't shine half as bright
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while

Because I'm a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
With nothing on either end

I always fall in love with an open door
With a horizon on an endless sea
As I look around the ones who were
standing right in front of me

And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
Like a soldier I can't command
It sees a child in the body of a full-grown man
And he's a man who hides from all that binds

And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
there's nothing on either end

A new position for a different view
And nothing changes but the slightest hues
And I am standing, face to face

With a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end..

You Are A Tourist

This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed

This fire grows higher

When there's a doubt within your mind
Because you're thinking all the time
Framing rights into wrongs
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me

This fire grows higher
When there's a burning in your heart
