THIS AND THAT

 

You tell me everything, but I don't wanna know

Some things are better left unsaid but even so

 

"Lemme tell you this, lemme tell you that"

I've had enough of hearing talk like that

Can't walk away from what you gotta say

And I don't wanna hear you talk like that

 

I let you corner me and now I pay the price

The same old stories told, of course you're always right

 

"He told me this, then he said that"

I'm sick of hearing talk like that

"I'm feeling this, I'm feeling that"

How can you feel when you talk like that

 

We could be close, words seperate

'Cause you only want to talk like that

I BELIEVED IN YOU

 

 

I believed in you, don't think that was asking for so much

I believed in you, doesn't mean I pressured anyone

 

I believed in you, didn't think entrusting could corrupt

I believed in you, guess believing wasn't quite enough

 

Was a time that I found and lost

And wondered what went wrong

Was a time when I ached for you

It didn't last too long

 

I believed in you, now I see that it was so misplaced

I believed in you, never wait for one who hesitates

 

Now's the time that I think of you

And wonder where you've gone

Past the time that I can follow you

'Cause you've been gone too long

 

I believed in you, guess that was the worse thing I could do

I believed in you, never knew that'd be the end of you

I believed in you, should've loved and kept it to myself

I believed in you, should've saved it for somebody else

 

You didn't see, you never heard

You talked but you forgot one word

We started off straight but you started to bend

I'd forget about it all if I could see you again

Come to old, come to new come to love something new

Come to know, come to see, come forever, come to me

 

I believed in you

REDEEMED

 

 

Love has a way of going bad

Love turning into something sad

 

Somebody says that it's no good

If somebody cares for me

How to admit to the one you love that

Love can't be redeemed

 

Love, you don't know which way to turn

Wait and you hope for one good word

 

Somebody says that I'm no good

That's good enough for me

I'm not the one that's gonna fight you back 'cause

Love can't be redeemed

 

Love has a way of turning bad

Try to remember what you had

 

Somebody says that it's no good

If somebody cares for me

How to admit to the one you love that

Love can't be redeemed

 

They say that love can't be redeemed

SOMEDAY

 

 

Someday I'll figure out the right way

To tell you how much I have come to need you

And someday you'll see I got my own way

Of showing you just what I need you to see

 

'Cause even though I feel so sure

It's kinda hard to let you know

And I'm afraid that I might just scare you away

 

So I wait for the right day, and I search for the right way

And I hope that my someday will be good for you

 

I've tried, but I'm always coming up dry

When I think of what things I could say to you

And I'm kind of tired searching my mind

I think it might be time for you to help me

 

'Cause if you just give me a hint

That you feel the way I do

You know I'll come up with the words I need to say

 

So I wait for the right day, and I search for the right way

And I hope that my someday will be good for you

 

I could write you a letter, but that's not conversation

Put a bottle in the water, but I'm running out of patience

I got something on my mind that you might wanna hear

But first you gotta tell me, tell me, tell me...

BAYBEE

 

 

Baby,

You're knocking me down, knocking me down my baby

Baby, your head's in a cloud, your head's in a cloud my baby

Baby, there's clouds all around, it's raining around my baby

Baby, she's wearing a frown she's wearing a frown my

Baby, baby, baby wears a frown

 

Baby,

You're thinking too loud, you're thinking too loud my baby

Baby, you're dragging me down, you're wearing me out my

Baby, baby, baby wears me out

 

Wanna look? I don't mind

Something more you won't find

I can wait, that is true

'Cause I know it's for you

 

If you can, settle down

Just forget what's around

Why not say we can be

Not afraid - you and me

 

Baby,

There's something around, there's something surrounding my baby

Baby, there's something you've found, you're finding me out my

Baby, baby, baby found me out

DREAMS COME TRUE

 

 

Sometimes I can see waiting a long time

But waiting can be such a hard thing to do

When you find someone new

So now I'm stuck in the middle

Between just wanting to live and to

Try to make sure that my dreams come true

 

So I'm looking for the sun, so there's no sun there for me

I just close my eyes and your light is blinding me

 

How can anything happen if I don't

See that there's something for me that you feel

And I've something for you

And how can I ever be happy if

I don't let you convince me that

You only want all my dreams to come true

 

So I've felt this before, and I know there's not a cure

I'd trade all I have if I'd only be sure

 

So if I make you impatient I hope you

See that I wanna believe you're for me

And that I'm here for you

'Cause if you mean all the things that you

Say then I can assure you

Together we'll watch all our dreams come true

Together we'll watch all our dreams come true

Together we'll watch all our dreams come true

DOWN HERE

 

 

You cover my footsteps

And look at the sky

It's all come to ruin

Now it's your turn to cry

 

Down here, watching you watching you

Down here, watching you watching you

Down here, watching you watching you

Down

 

You dull all my senses

And I don't know why

I feel only sadness

Like it's my turn to die

 

Down here, watching you watching you

Down here, watching you watching you

Down here, watching you watching you

Down

GOODBYE PRINCESS

 

 

I been hearing conversations

'Bout how much you get around

In one ear and out the other

But as of now I'm losing count

 

You must think I'm not too bright now

But I'm smart enough to know

When we've pushed a little too far

And when it's time for me to go

 

Goodbye princess

Well you won't see me for a long long time

Goodbye princess

It won't be the same

 

I could wish I was in Dixie

But I think I'd miss the cold

Even though you'd bring it with you

You're not worth the trouble so

 

Goodbye princess

Well you won't see me for a long long time

Goodbye princess

It won't be the same

 

Goodbye princess

It's been fun but that's all over now

Goodbye princess

It won't be the same

WHEN MORNING COMES

 

 

Open my eyes

Sun coming through the window

Come close to me and we can both be warm

I close my eyes

Don't want to think about

What the daylight brings and what it takes from me

 

Just let me hold you tight

Pretend that it's still night

'Cause when the morning comes

That's when you always go

When the morning comes

 

Stay here with me

We can watch the shadows move

Around the room, as the day goes on

Golden and new

We don't have to move

For a long long time, 'til night comes again

 

I can't get used to this

Saying goodbye to you

When morning comes

That's when you always go

When morning comes

 

What can I say to you

To keep you here with me

When morning comes

That's when you always go

When morning comes

THE HEARDER

 

 

Wait for the moment, hidden from sight

Some kind of magic I save for the night

And though I try and try and try, I can't stop

'Cause I see you

Only you

Only you

 

I got an image and it's burning through

The hole's getting bigger, I crawl into you

And though I try and try and try I can't wait

'Cause there's one

And it's you

Only you

 

Clocks start their ticking, stars reappear

Wind in the willows, and you standing near

And though I cried and cried and cried I won't stop

'Cause I need you

Only you

Only you
