If Tonight
03:32
|
|||
If tonight is the night,
Know you’re the one that I’d like
Little darling, let’s go out of our way
To really shake things up, yeah
‘Cause I know what you better not say
It’s been a while, I’m a little nervous
It’s not a question of what or where
Lets not complicate it
As long as we don’t wait forever and a day,
We’ll be alright.
If tonight is the night,
Know you’re the one that I’d like,
To be taking me right
To places that I’ve longed for
Honey child, what drives your heart?
Dreams we can build together.
If we give it everything that we’ve got,
Should be enough to last forever
I can’t feel if you don’t feel it too
And I shouldn’t have to tell you,
‘cause you know we’ll be alright
Honey child, lets go out of our way
Tell our dreams, and build together
If we give it everything that we’ve got,
Should be enough to last forever

Taking Me Away
04:02
|
|||
The sun shone down
And I knew it was over
This time it was clear
We both were falling out
Time drags on
Drags far too long
When you can't make any love
With the one you love
She'd laugh at everything I'd say
I know you'll treat me better
She said she'd kiss it all away
I know you'll kiss me better
Was wrong to think it was ok
Don't try and tell me it's alright
I know you're taking me away
What's left is dead
Let's bury this old heart
Guess I just hadn't...
Hadn't earned it yet, baby
She'd laugh at everything I'd say
I know you'll treat me better
She said she'd kiss it all away
I know you'll kiss me better
Was wrong to think it was ok
Don't try and tell me it's alright
I know you're taking me away
I know we both can feel it
I know you're taking me away
Away

Fall
03:21
|
|||
There’s so much to assume when you fall each time.
That it has to be you,
Only wrong you can do
When it comes to these things in life.
You tell yourself that it’s just bad luck,
Eventually you’ll be past the struggle.
But as the air grows thick, it gets harder to breathe.
When you see her tonight,
You will fall for the millionth time.
When you see her tonight,
You won’t know why.
Nothing that you say will make it better.
And nothing that you do will be alright.
When you see her tonight,
You won’t know why.
You fantasize, then you agonize.
All the things she could do, if your heart she would choose.
You can’t see the truth in her eyes.
You tell yourself it will be better next time.
Eventually you will find it in someone.
But then the air grows thicker than the last time.
Rinse and repeat night after night.

Half of Your Heart
03:07
|
|||
You know you had it all,
Everybody was jealous of you
I used to think we were so damn lucky,
And our friends would remind us too.
Trying times, they test us all
Separate the frail from the firm
You’ll convince yourself that I’m the one who’s wrong
You’ve lost your nerve, girl,
Everyone knows it too
And I can’t stop you from breaking my heart,
But it’s breaking me everyday
You said you could only give me half of your heart
Who gets the other half now, babe?
You know you let it fall
Let them take all your time and energy
Ever think what you were giving up might have been
what your life really needs?
I can only say it so many times
Won’t plead and won’t beg for you
To stay in my arms
You’re on your own now
Wish you the best
But you’ve only hurt yourself, girl
Everyone knows it too
Don’t cry for me
I’ve cried enough for the both of us
And I can’t stop you from breaking my heart,
But it’s breaking me everyday
And I never thought that we’d be falling apart,
Like we fell in love that day
You know that I can’t stop you from breaking my heart,
But it’s breaking me everyday
You said you could only give me half of your heart
Who gets the other half now, babe?

Fairy Tales
04:17
|
|||
Blackened hearts abound
Tainted souls breed more
But not through any fault of their own
Can’t give anymore
No love left to give
You said all the right lines,
Playing tricks on your mind
Never thinking of the pain you might cause
Could’t give anymore,
No love left to give
But honey I tried to do things right,
Take our time, but be your light
You just couldn't help yourself,
You just had to run away.
And say you don't believe in fairy tales
They're not for you
They're not for you
You said our love was like a fairy tale,
And that's bad for you,
That's bad for you?
Too bad for you
Caution was my name
Was the name of my game
I never let it go too far, no
But then along came you,
And all the things you would do
I felt you were the one
I didn't think you would run,
When faced with the truth of love
You gotta work at it too, you know, my dear
And honey you know I treat you right
Take my time, but be your light
You just couldn't help yourself,
You just had to run away
And say you don't believe in fairy tales
They're not for you
They're not for you
You said our love was like a fairy tale
And that's bad for you
That's bad for you?
You thought true love would drive you off the rails
What could I do, what could I do?
You don’t believe in fairy tales
But I still do
Is it in your heart?
Or has it broke apart?
Is it in the cards?
Or is it just not ours?
But darling I tried to do things right
Take our time, but be your light
You just couldn't help yourself,
You just had to fuck it up
You said you don't believe in fairy tales,
They're not for you
They're not for you
You said our love was like a fairy tale
And they don’t come true
They don’t come true
You let the fear blow in and cut our sails
What could I do, what could I do?
You don’t believe in fairy tales
But I still do
I still believe in fairy tales
I still believe in fairy tales
What's wrong with living in a fairy tale?
I still do

The Box
03:39
|
|||
It’s not an issue I thought we’d ever face
Did all the right things and still it fell out of place
Thought we were stable
Thought you were true
But you turned on a dime,
And changed your mind straight out of the blue
Why would you do it, sweetheart?
How could you just go?
If you saw problems with us
Why couldn’t you let us know?
And I can’t seem to close the box of you
And I can’t seem to rid my heart of you
I guess the trips and the gifts didn’t mean a thing
But I notice it took you a while to give back the ring
I fought for our future
I fought for our love
But you let it die
How could you be so careless, girl?
Why would you do it, sweetheart?
How could you just leave?
You said you were so in love
And that you never ever would hurt me
Now I can’t seem to close the box of you
And I can’t seem to rid my heart of you
Oh, and I can’t seem to close the box of you
Though I’ve tried
And I’ve tried,
To show you what you’re letting go
With love there comes an ebb and flow, my dear
When you’re alone at forty-two,
Or with someone that won’t love you,
You’ll think of me
Why would you do it, darling?
How could you just leave?
You said you were so in love
And that you never ever would hurt me
Now I can’t seem to close the box of you
And I can’t seem to rid my heart of you
Oh, and I can’t seem to close the box of you
Though I’ve tried
And I’ve tried
But I still love you
I still love you

Recoil
03:36
|
|||
She floated onto the stage, read her soliloquy
He played the fool and got taken far too easily
She moved in close, he started,
To start what he thought she wanted
One can never know what a girl who has it all could want.
No need to recoil
No need to slow down
Fight all temptation for it
And you can believe
There’s love all around
But harvest the patience for it
She kept a piece of him while he had nothing of her
Never got a response, never another word
A sliver of a chance, so he waited
Days pass, gets left frustrated
One can never know what a girl who has it all could want
And you can believe in love

Your Nature
03:23
|
|||
Now that the dust has settled down
You can think back
Though I doubt you ever will do that
If you could somehow look within,
To your nature
See your pride just loses you your friends
For you it’s just a payday,
But for me it is my life
I may play guitar,
But don’t expect me to play your fife
This precious ego, grown so large,
That you cradle
And will defend at any cost
You’re questioned once, you get enraged
Are you able,
To appreciate what is now lost?
Soon this will be over
I’ll move on and away in style
And I’ll admit that I hope you suffer,
At least a little while
It’s just your nature
It’s just your nature
It’s just your nature
Is it just your nature?
Retaliation is a tempting thought,
But I won’t waste a breath on you
Though I hate that you’ll go on like this,
I’m not the last one that you’ll screw
It’s just your nature
I couldn’t ever be like you,
It’s my nature

Little Hero
03:34
|
|||
I can only dream of affection on this scene
Affection, oh, I’ve seen the way your soulless antics
Serve you in your mercenary scheme
I have worked with you at this for more than seven years
In all that time, I’ve lived the golden rule,
And watched you never give a damn for all that’s right
I could let it go,
Sell my current life away,
Adapt the ways of those like you,
Who ploy and conjure
I could let it go,
Sell my current life away,
But you would still be just the same without me
You would go on poisoning the world
Little hero
I’m still here,
Not giving you the time of day you crave
I’ve realized, that time is too finite to care
For those who seek advancement through pure spite

Make Things Better
04:34
|
|||
If there is a place where comfort blossoms
It’s here, with you
And I can admit your warmth has calmed me
Calmed the doubt,
And the storm surrounding me
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be left for this to fall
Take for granted, and all is gone
If I could change it for the stars to shine our way
If each time it could be just a longer stay
And together is the drug I’ll always take
That would make things better
That would make things better
Yes, there are things that sometimes come first
Come for you, and they come for me too
I patiently wait and I know you do too
Wait for love,
To return when we do
We know this is now
We know this is ours to keep alive
This frailty is not to be ignored
And you’re the one that takes me where I’ve never been
Think I should sacrifice to never let it end
If we could be like this tomorrow once again,
That would make things better
That would make things better
I want to hold you in my arms again today
I want to take you out again to see your ways
Tell me how we can, and that you feel the same
That would make things better
That would make things better
