IT WON'T END WITH ME

I belong, but never feel a part of

What it is you try to make of me

I'm just something that you'll never finish

Take my eyes, I'm sure that I won't miss them

Take my lips, they weren't made to kiss

Do it now, before I start to harden

There is never justice in emotion

There is never peace inside of me

Even though you set it all in motion

It won't end with me

Shape me up and sweep away the pieces

That you felt the need to scrape away

Save them all and use them for another

I've been built, but where is my foundation?

There is nothing there supporting me

If you see a flaw in my creation

It won't end with me

See my arms, they weren't made to hold you

See my lips, they weren't made to kiss

Look at me and see what you've created

I've been built, but where is my foundation?

There is nothing there supporting me

If you see a flaw in my creation

It won't end with me

DON'T CRY

Don't Cry

Don't cry

It's all gonna be a memory and it won't occur again

You're the victim if you can't forget and live for now, not then

Don't cry

It's not the world that keeps you down, or the way people think

You let it all funnel back to you and you tip your head and drink

Don't cry

You've been in mourning now way too long, get on your feet and rise

So much to see gonna make you smile but you gotta dry your eyes.

Don't cry

WASTING TIME

Well, I'm sitting here wasting time

Got nothing on my mind

Wanna get away but I guess I'm gonna stay

I'm sitting here wasting time

Being lazy suits me fine

People see but I don't mind

I wanna get up but I can't get up

I'm sitting here wasting time

Got nobody

I don't want nobody if she's not like you

So much distance

It don't make a difference

Cause there's no one else like you

I'm sitting here wasting time

You're all that's on my mind

Just can't wait but I guess I gotta wait

I'm sitting here wasting time

If you tell me

You ain't got nobody, I will go to you

When that day comes

I will be your loved one

And I won't waste my time with you

I'm sitting here wasting time

Nothing on my mind

Wanna get away but I guess I'm gonna stay

I'm sitting here wasting time

RUSH IN

Sometimes it's hard to be lonely

Sometimes it's better that way

Sometimes I think that it's only

Something you're trying to say because

When we fall so close to the edge you know they all rush in

You know what they're trying to see

You know they're so happy to be

The very best of fair weather friends

Some say you shouldn't show it

I guess I'd rather not know it

When they come running closer to see you know they all rush in

You see them all marching in step

You know it's forgive and forget

To let such words come in between

-Two lovers lost on their way

-Two sides to every play

-Did you know all along, I tried too hard to be strong

Some say you shouldn't show it

I guess I'd rather not know it

Gotta throw it on the line when they all rush in

Speaking words from behind as they all rush in

Will I be stronger next time when they all rush in

INNOCENT

It all went wrong but she still went on without a clue

In a mixed up world she remained a girl who trusted you

You brought her down, led her around

She lost her way and can't be found

She was an innocent

But she couldn't stay that way

You fed her dirt, she began to hurt but not for long

She had enough and she got so tough that she went wrong

It's not because of what she does

She had to change from what she was

She was an innocent

But she couldn't stay that way

When she re-appears she will see more clearly that is true

But I will remember that September smile for you

You led her on 'til you were done

And now the girl she was is gone

She was an innocent

But she couldn't stay that way

YOU

You who made my heart start jumping

You who made the world seem easier

You who made love so tempting and

You who took it all away

Words are soft but they still get through

The more you say just confuses me

Seems the more there is to understand

The walls around me can't protect me from

You: you had all the answers

You: you let me follow you

You: who brought me to my senses and

You: who took my life away

I try to love you but I don't know how

I can't keep up and you won't slow down

I wasn't put here to drag you down

There's nothing in this world can simplify...

You: you made it all so simple

You: it's all crystal clear

You: who made the world seem easier

You: who tossed it all away

WONDER WHY

They wait and wait until a cross wind blows

It lifts and carries them away

To where they gather on a distant shore

To where they'll never be afraid

The noise of living falls on deafened ears

The sirens wail but they're not heard

There's something bursting but no one will care

No one will ever speak a word

Do you wonder why

You can't hear them cry

Do you wonder why

They face the east because they understand

The kind of power they can see

There is no thunder just a flash of light

Reflecting them upon the sea

They form a circle and their heads bow down

A single thought that they select

A silent cry they send it far away

For other forces to protect

Do you wonder why

You can't hear them cry

Do you wonder why

GO ON THIS WAY

Don't know if I wanna go on this way

Don't think that I wanna go on this way

I went down to the snack truck now

Got a meal on wheels and I don't know how

Don't think that I wanna go on this way

If she calls don't hand the phone to me

'Cause that's the one voice I don't need to hear

'Cause that's the one voice that sounds too clear

If she calls don't hand the phone to me

Don't know if I wanna go on this way

Don't think that I wanna go on this way

'Cause that's the one voice that pierced my ears

Now I gotta listen to a girl in tears

Don't know if I wanna go on this way

SEW LONG

She got the wings of a mosquito

She got the eyes of a fly

And she got something gonna sting you

You'll wanna let her suck you dry

I'm her long-legged daddy, she's my flying queen

Best darning girl that I ever seen

So sew long, sew long

Story#1: frozen little dog

You know you feel like you're in Heaven

With all that gossamer around

Your body aches but you don't notice

You know she'll never let you down

She's my alligator girl and I'm a regular guy

Got her jaw clamped shut and I'm ready to fly

So so long, so long

Story#2: curlew

Story#3: presidents on TV

NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT

Don't say a word, she was unhappy

I couldn't know, no one to tell me

She must've gone long before leaving

Mind was made up a long time ago

Hey hey I can't make her happy

Do all that I can but my timing's not right

All along I thought I knew all the answers

But the questions all changed

And now nothing seems right

I never learned, patterns all shifting

Souls left behind, changing for nothing

Cool on her lips, words that are cheerful

Say your goodbyes to love inconsistent

Hey hey I can't make her happy

Do all that I can but my timing's not right

All along I thought I knew all the answers

But the questions all changed

And now nothing seems right

MORE THAN THIS

Find a way, try to see

Don't expect more of me

More than this , I can't be

Nothing spared, no mystery

'cause I've looked inside and outside

I can't change what I can't see

So don't make it so hard to satisfy

More than this won't be real,

So you hurt to make me feel

More than this, I can't bear

As I fade, the less I care

I remember when I loved you

But I don't remember why

It's time to end the lies that keep us whole

More than this, I can't be

God I've tried, can't you see

More than this, I can't say

Nothing more, no other way....

WALK AWAY

There's a clearing sky going to blind our eyes

And there'll be no way to see

As the darkness falls I can hear you calling

But you're not calling me

Is there some way to

Explain how sorry that I am to you

Would you ever listen or would

You prefer that I not say anything

And walk away from the love I knew

I wish for goodness' sake to wash away the ache

That I've been feeling inside

But when I talk to you I just can't get through

The tangles in your mind

Is there some way to

Explain how sorry that I am to you

It's as though you're hoping to

Forget in time, but it's not that simple to

Just walk away from the love you knew

There's a clearing sky going to blind our eyes

And there'll be no way to see...

ARROWS

The burnt end of a twig that's broken from the hanging tree

It draws a circle on a stone and proves its symmetry

It draws you, just you

The failings of the guardians that watched you as you fell

A dressed up figure eight beside you promised not to tell

Of you, of you

Try to keep us all as one

Try to make us the same

We have failed to see our way

We must take all the blame

The feathered arrows shooting by are numbered one to three

With each a message sent with love and piercing endlessly

From you, just you, from you, from you

LET ME LOVE YOU

Let me love you, love you,

Hold you 'til the sun goes down

Let me be there, darling

'cause the sun is going down

Been a long time coming

But I'm here now and I want you so

Let me love you, love you

And I'll never let you go

As love grows I gather it for you

Can it make you feel any better

Want my heart to beat inside of you

Take my soul, make it your own

Let me love you, love you

Hold you, I won't make a sound

Let me be there, darling

I won't let the sun go down

If you let me I will make you whole

Everything I have I will give

If you need me I won't ever go

'cause you're the one reason I live

Let me love you, love you

Hold you 'til the sun goes down

Let me be there, darling

I won't let the sun go down.

SOMETHING'S GONNA CHANGE

Wonder 'bout a life that can't be shared

Wonder if there's something more

If I let you in here I will fall

Is it all worth fighting for

If you're going to take me

Please just come and take me

Promise you that I won't mind

No surprises for you

Open arms to greet you

Something's gotta change in time

Every minute one more breath to take

Clock is ticking on and on

If I never wind it up again

Will it mean my time is gone

If you wanna take me

Come alon and take me

Promise I won't change my mind

I won't try to hold on

Just don't want to hold on

Something's gotta change in time

It's just too hard to go on believing

It's just too hard to never doubt

So if you see a way I expect that you will show me

'Cause on my own I'll never find out

Wonder 'bout a life that can't be shared

Wonder if there's something more

If I let you in here I will fall

Is it all worth fighting for

If you're going to take me

Please just come and take me

Promise you that I won't mind

No surprises for you

Open arms to greet you

Something's gotta change in time
