BELIEVE (2006)
Don't look back
Now that the tide is rolling in
There's no time to think of all that could have been
Here and now
We're never gonna live again
One of a kind, still finding who we are
We'll never be lonely
If you just find out what you want
We'll never be holding back
This heart attack keeps me on my feet
 
And now I find out where I started from
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
 
Don't look back
All of the emptiness you left far behind you
There's no space to weigh you down
Taking down
All of the memories you kept
Take a long, hard look at all you've been
We'll never be lonely
If you just find out what you want
We'll never be holding back
This heart attack sweeps me off my feet
 
And now I find out where I started from
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Take a glance at your last chance
The time is now, believe
Believe, believe we'll make it out alive
 
We'll never be lonely
If you just find out what you want
We'll never be holding back
This heart attack sweeps me off my feet
 
And now I find out where I started from
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Can't stop from fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun
I need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
So, come on, take a glance at your last chance
The time is now, believe
 
 
BLACK COFFEE (2008)
I swear I've gone in circles, dodging yellow machines
Tryin' to get my head straight
I try to keep in mind that this is only a scene
And I am just a stowaway
Thought I could relate to the glass-covered mountains
Gliding through a smoke-screen
Quarters fill my pockets with the need to feed the homeless man
Inside the alleyway
 
Preacher's scream of Jesus while you wait for the train
Where am I going? Won't you show me the way?
Hold on, check my reflection, look at everything change
My former-self is gonna push me away
 
Black coffee, pouring out these strangers hanging out
All wake up to nothing at all
 
I bought myself a compass, breaking free from the map
Lost here on the subway
Then drank up all the water, pouring out of the tap
Aw, damn, I made another mistake
 
I'm going crazy, sirens sing me to sleep
So, what's the hurry, people? Lining the streets
A million street-walkers always seem so pretentcious
Oh, not to mention, cut the sound of the engines
 
Black coffee, pouring out these strangers hanging out
All wake up to nothing at all
 
This is the sound of my feet moving on, they're moving on
And this is the sound of my head holding on, it's holding on
This is the sound of my soul breaking down, it's breaking down
And this is the sound of my heart-
Break
 
Stuck in a slot-car, got my face to the glass
Deep in the blur, I see my clarity pass
Is my reflection gonna show me the past?
Cause I see myself goin' nowhere fast
 
This is the sound of my heart
Break
 
 
OH JENNY... (2008)
Say beautiful, you make me sick!
It’s been a while, she’s wondering: “what happened?”
She brought up every letter that she’d sent
I politely explained: “I moved far away, and I’m sorry”
Oh I know we had some fun, but you know I’ve gotta run
Now, I’ve got so much to do, cause I’ve found someone new
And in fact I think that she’s the one
But when you asked for my new number, I said: “okay”
But deep behind my breath I’m screaming: “no way!”
 
 
Oh no, I don’t wanna make her heart break
Oh-oh-oh, but can’t you tell when a smile’s fake?
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first kiss
Oh-oh-oh, Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
 
Hey beautiful, you make me sick!
You sung the words to “Secret”, I’m embarrassed
Still she asked me why she never made my friend list
Replied: “there’s just room at the top for friends that matter”
Oh, I’m sorry for the mess, I never stole your innocence
She said she taped an outline to the floor,
Right where I slept the night before
You kept my shirt for years, pinned to your doorway
So on your way to school you get my smell all over you
 
Oh no, Looks like I missed another birthday
Oh-oh-oh, I won’t be jumpin’ outta your cake
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first kiss
Oh-oh-oh, Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
 
Call a doctor cause it’s time you had your prescriptions re-filled
Bi-polar opposites never attract, see, you’re gonna get me killed!
Now don’t you think I would’ve shown up with roses at your door?
Obviously, don’t you agree?
I think you best forget the past and leave me
 
 
But she’s too sweet to make her eyes swell up
She’s too sweet to let her make-up run
She’s too sweet to be in love with a fool like me!
 
Oh no, I don’t wanna make her heart break
Oh-oh-oh, but can’t you tell you were a mistake?
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first kiss
Oh-oh-oh, Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Oh no, I don’t wanna make her heart break
Oh-oh-oh, but she's still waiting on the first date
Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Away from you
Away, away, away
 
 
LET ME DOWN (2008)
Here’s a pair of shoes and a parachute
I’ll walk you up the mountain, just to let you down
I’ll be on the ground, with my arms stretched out
I won’t let you find your feet, I’ll just spin you round
And round again, round again
And down again, you’re down again
Should we stop?
Should I let you down again, down again?
 
You say you love the way, that you’d do the same to me
We just let each other down, but love is always on the way
When you let me down
You let me down
 
Should I push you into the pool again?
You scream, tread the cold water, but I know you can swim
When you're in the mood, I'm not into you
I get off the way you pound on my door and you beg for more
 
Cause I love the way, that you’d do the same to me
We just let each other down, but love is always on the way
When you let me down, w
ould you lift me up
When I’m on the ground?
With a kiss, good luck, oh you will
 
Everybody stares, we’re the perfect pair
Misery loves company; throw my burdens in a row
Line them up for you, like I always do
And I roll with every punch
Cause when I’m down, you lift me up
 
And you love the way, that you’d do the same to me
We just let each other down, but love is always on the way
When you let me down, would you lift me up
When I’m on the ground?
With a kiss, good luck, oh you will, you will
Let me down
 
 
WRECK (A BITTER SONG) (2008)
God damn, I'm a sensitive wreck
Cut my losses, readymade to collect
I've been down, I guess I've been here before
My intentions on the cutting-room floor, oh hell
I'm at war with the world, all because of a girl
I'm at war with myself, along with everybody else
It don't feel so good to be outside, I hide away, away
 
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another word to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
 
God damn, all my senses have burned
Lost all feeling 'fore I swallowed the worm
But this ash fits better than a heart on my sleeve
Could I swap this disease for much less than I need?
 
Been at war with the world, all because of a girl
Like I'm at war with myself, along with everybody else
Now, I don't know who I've become
I cleanse my soul, betrayed
 
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another world to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
I'm a wreck
 
I couldn't tell you why I'm not the same
It's still a mystery to me
I crack a smile, thinking you're to blame
I live and die by history
But I'd let it go, if I knew how to turn my back on you right now
Today is not the day
I wish this life away
 
I'm at war with the world
I'm at war with the world
I'm at war with the world
All because of the girl who stole my life away
Hooray!
I'll remember the day when I tried to escape
I'm a wreck, I'm afraid I might need someone to be someone
 
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another word to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
I'm afraid I couldn't be someone
I need someone, don't say another word to me
Replace this smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
 
 
A LIFE WITHOUT (2006)
Hello world
Where ya been?
It's been a long time since I've lived
Smell the air
Taste the sunlight
Cause this just might be the last day of my life
 
So alive
I'm reborn
It's like I finally know what I'm here for
It took a while
To realize I'm all I have
And I will be just fine
 
It's not the end of the world
Living a life without love
It's not the end of time
 
In my soul
Douse the fire
Take the cold from the air
Tonight I dance in the rain
No more complaints, I could die on a day like this
 
It's not the end of the world
Living a life without love
It's not the end of time
 
Change the locks before I lose my mind
Ticking clocks that never told the time
I won't waste the day again
Because in my head, I'm gonna be okay
Without love
 
Hello world
How've you been?
I never thought we'd meet again
Since I've lived a life without love
Without love
 
Oh, if I die alone
It'll be worth while
But seeing as I'm here
I'll live my life in style
No regret to hold
It's all within my power
I will seize the days, weeks, months in all the hours
All without love
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
 
 
SECOND TIME AROUND (2005)
I try my hardest not to call
How hard could it be?
I could erase your number from my phone
But temptation might come over me
And knock me right back off my feet again
We can build a big house
Build it high upon a cloud
You could be my muse, baby, I could play the clown
Oh, we could paint the town
But first, we'd better knock the old one down
Knock it down
 
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope we're still alive to spend our lives together
We could do this right the second time around
 
When the wine has gotten sour
And the drugs go out of style
We've been on the road for oh, so many miles
I'm wishin' you were still around
Cause I can't keep the sky from coming down
Knock it down
 
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope we're still alive, to spend our lives together
Yeah, we could do this right the second time around, oh-oh
 
I'll be clinging to your wall
No, I'll never drop the ball, oh no
The love was good, the sex was fun
But now you got me on the run
In time, we could work this out
 
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope I'm still alive
Cause I'll love you more than ever
Distance makes things better with time
And when our souls collide, we could do this right
Cause I'm tired of these lonely nights, watching my life pass me by
Gonna love you, I'll love you the second time around
We could do this right
 
 
SLOW DANCING (2007)
There she hides, beneath the sheets
With all the treasure I could seek
And I can’t wait to find you
Silently, she breathes my name
I leave the lights and spark the flame
And now I’m coming for you, oh
Can we slip away?
Can I pull you close to me?
While we spin around, where our feet don’t touch the ground
Tonight I’m slow dancing, slow dancing with you
Rest my hands upon her hips
And slowly, slide my fingertips
All senses, taking over
All that she craves, I make her wait
She begs for more, anticipates
Hard breathing, heart beating
She’s never felt like this before
Can we slip away?
Can I pull you close to me
While we spin around, where our feet don't touch the ground
Oh, tonight I'm slow dancing, slow dancing with you
 
I took a quick look in her eyes
My stomach filled with butterflies
Your body fits me like a glove
That I can never love enough
I’ll start with kissing on your lips
Until there’s nothing left to kiss
Oh, I’ll do anything and everything for you
So, can we slip away?
Can I pull you close to me?
While we spin around, where our feet don’t touch the ground
Tonight I’m slow dancing, slow dancing with you


YOU BROKE MY HEART (2003)
Bury me deep in the ground
'Cause I can't bear to feel the sun beating down on me
Build my home water tight
Cause it's safe to say I've had my share of rain for one lifetime
I'm drowning in quicksand, but it's better than the clean air
Cold and without feeling, but maybe that's a good thing
Someday I'll be ready to love again
I'll love again
Oh, but now I have no feeling in my heart
You broke my heart

Send my soul straight to the clouds
Way up high, I'll never hear a sound
Scream with all my might
Maybe loud enough to haunt you for a whole lifetime
If you want me, you can have me, and it's safe to say I'm lonely
My heart is frozen-cold and dead, I'll never have to love again
Someday I'll be ready to love again
I'll love again
Oh, but now I have no feeling in my heart
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
If you wanna leave me let me know
There's a chance I'll let you go
Or I'll never let you go
Oh, you know I loved you from the start
And you had to break my heart
You had to break my heart
Someday I'll be ready to love again
Now I have no feeling in my heart


SATELLITE (2007)
Satellite, you’ve caught my eye, looking for a peace of mind
Lost between the pages of my life
I can’t find a place to hide, nothing left to hide behind
I walked upon the four-leaf clovers
Crushing all the luck left over, now
Satellite, satellite
Won’t you show me the way back home?
Satellite, satellite
 
Satellite, I’ve taken strides
Chances are I’m getting by, but love is just so hard for me to find
Never had a valentine, that lasted on through Christmas time
I’m breaking all new resolutions
An annual state of confusion, now
Satellite, satellite
Won’t you show me the way back home?
Satellite, satellite
All I really need is hope
Satellite
 
I don’t know how much more I can take
I could use a light
No, I couldn’t find my way without a satellite
 
Satellite, you fill my life
But, couldn’t you just turn on the lights?
My world is filled with cold, dark corners
I can’t find my way to love without my satellite
 
Won’t you show me the way back home?
Show me the way back home
Show me the way back home
Show me
 
 
DREAM OF LOVE (2007)
My car has just run out of gasoline
My phone is almost out of battery
And now I’m stranded somewhere in between
The love that hides here inside of me
 
I look around only to find my queen
The one that hides in all my fantasies
But in this weather, she remains unseen
Just a lover only found in dreams
Just a lover only found in my dreams
 
My feet will wander through the darkness
My eyes will climb into the sky
Cause all I do is dwell upon this dream of love to be alive
 
Will life just spit me out?
When all I dream about is
Sweet love, breaking me down
I’ve had enough of waiting
Reoccurring dreams of scenes
Indifferent to the make-believe
Cause I will always dream of love
 
I check the time, I see it’s getting late
Should I hitch a ride, or hesitate?
I wonder just how long I’ll have to wait
For the pleasure of her shining face
Come and take me far away from this place
 
Will life just spit me out?
When all I dream about is
Sweet love, breaking me down
I’ve had enough of waiting
Reoccurring dreams of scenes
Indifferent to the make-believe
Cause I will always dream of love
 

TIME BOMB (OUT OF MY HANDS) (2006)
Too late to pull apart your enemies
No time to pull yourself together now
Somehow this life has got the best of me
Now all the pieces scatter all around
 
Nowhere to hide from all the agony
The sands of time are turning me to stone
Maybe this fate has been my destiny
A time bomb is getting ready to explode
The downward spiral of a black hole
Swallows the future of humanity
Even the gods supposed to save souls
Cannot escape the pull of gravity
 
Tick tock, murder all of the hours here
That I have fought so hard to save
Locked up, you've taken all of my powers
And I can't find an exit
 
Tick tock, no, the world never stops
There’s a time bomb ticking
A time bomb ticking away
Tick tock, it’s the fate of the hour
The tides will raise and wash us all away again
I turn to dust because I gave everything
I’m starting to rust all because I gave everything to you
It’s out of my hands, out of my hands again
 
Volcano’s slide into an earthquake
Flood waters boil under hurricanes
I guess it’s better than a heart-break
A river pouring blood, out from my veins
 
Volcano’s slide into an earthquake
Flood waters boil under hurricanes
I guess it’s better than a heart-break
A river pouring blood, out from my veins
 
Tick tock, I’m inside of a clock
It’s a time bomb ticking
A time bomb ticking away
Tick tock, it’s the fate of the hour
The tides will raise and wash us all away again
I turn to dust because I gave everything
I’m starting to rust all because I gave everything to you
It’s out of my hands, out of my hands again
 
 
MARIONETTE (2005)
How long, how long will it take to set you straight
I just don’t know how long I could go on like this alone
Oh, when everything goes wrong, I shrug your challenge off
But you drag it out so long
“So long”, is all I want to say
 
I’ve had enough of you
Cause I gave it all
And now that I’m drained away, there’s nothing left to lose
Oooh, I gave it all to you
 
Now all that you mean to me, means nothing in your eyes
Why do I even try?
It’s so hard to make ends meet, they’re frayed besides
How long, how long will I live with the choice you leave me with
Before I break in two, until I’m done with you
This bullshit mind I’ve held too tight
 
I’ve had enough of you
Cause I gave it all
The sunlight fades to rainy days, there’s nothing left to lose
Oooh, I gave it all to you
 
Such a long way down
Such a long way down
Spun round and round
Such a long way down
Why do I even try to find the brighter side of you?
 
Tired of the leash you’re holding
Held so tight, to keep me choking
Tired of living hopelessly
In all the shit you pull with me
I’m tired of the melodrama
Every time you run I want to
Let you find a better love
To have, to hold, to push, to shove
Tired of losing, tired of giving
Lies swallow the hope we’re living
Tired of cleaning up your mess
So tired of being second best
Tired of being tired of every thing you do, so sick and tired of
One more time, so fucking tired of telling you I love you back
 
 
SOLDIER OF DESIRE (2006)
I move along, a sole survivor
On a white horse, riding through
Now I’ve been searching, soul searching
Only dreams provide the sight of you
 
I’m taking chances, so many chances
I lay it all down on the line
I plot a course, I make advances
I won’t sleep at night, or close my eyes until I find you
 
Surrender
Gonna hold you, don’t put up a fight, cause it’s alright
Surrender
Gonna kiss you anywhere I’d like, if you don’t mind
 
I’m a soldier of desire
Throw the bullets in the fire
I’m a soldier of desire
So, let your guard down

I’m growing old, I’m growing tired
Her candle’s burning at both ends
If I could find the time to hold on, or move on
Or pretend to fill the emptiness
I worry that I may never have the taste of love again
 
I move in to kiss those sugary lips that I have been waiting for
I’m losing my grip, I’m starting to slip, its something you can’t ignore
And if there’s a way you may push me away, then I’ll only ask for more
Just one quick kiss stuck to your lips, no, I won’t miss, oh, I insist
So, what’s wrong? It’s alright
So, you wanna get on with your life
It’s time you made your mind and found the time to keep me
Could you keep me here?
No, stop. I searched the whole world to find you.
Now, doesn’t that mean a thing?
I thought I found a love, but love could never be enough to Disarm you,
Disarm you, Surrender
 
 
SYMPHONY OF THE WEREWOLF (2006)
Hunter of the darkness
Harbinger of fright
Killer of the innocents
Prey on them tonight
Blood is your desire
The full moon has arrived
Burning like a fire
Inside your hallowed eyes
 
Howling in the shadows
Frighteners beware
Sinking in his teeth
With a devils stare
I can feel its breath
Beating on my skin
The souls he will collect
Rest inside of him
 
The moon is full
Its skin has pulled
An animal of animals
 
Echoing so dire
The beast will not give in
Murdering all liars
Let the night begin
The moon is full
Its skin has pulled
An animal of animals
 
 
BRAND NEW DAY (2006)
I cannot wait until tomorrow
Let the new day come
Wake up the sky and morning, reign
This wild sensation
Out of the darkest clouds
That I’ve been hanging in so long
Blackout the stars and hang the sun
Right back where it belongs
 
In this sky of mine
And I feel so high
I can’t wait to start a brand new day
 
Walking along this winding road
With everyone I know
And if I end up back where I started
I’m better off alone
So much faith in all my friends
They’ll surely lead the way
Turn your back on me again
You’d better stay away
 
In this sky of mine
Cause I feel so high
I can’t wait to start a brand new day
 
And I don’t need another helping hand
Only me, and my shadow understand
It took so long to find, but it was with me all along
Now I don’t want this brand new day to end
With these tired eyes
I have been so blind
Cutting all my ties
For the warm sunshine
In this sky of mine
Now I feel so high
Cutting all my ties
For the warm sunshine
In this sky of mine
Now I feel so high
 

TO MY LOVE: I'M LEAVING YOU (2006)
To my love,
It’s safe to say I’m finally moving on, so, good luck
I know you’re strong enough to carry all your weight around
Without another one to hold you down
Not another sound, I’m leaving you
 
To my love,
It won’t be hard to find another soul to be loved
They’re lined up on your doorstep in the cold
I’ve turned my head away, I’m hiding all my tears this time
Not another sound, I’m leaving you
 
So, goodbye, so long
I need to find where I belong
I’ll no longer find a safe-haven in your arms, no
 
To my love
I’ve taken all my things, I’m leaving you
Had enough
I’m cutting free from all of the abuse
There’s much that I would change, but you stole all my faith away from me
Not another sound, I’m leaving you
Not another sound, I’m leaving you
It’s goodbye, so long
Not another sound, I’m leaving you
 
 
TOO QUICK, TOO SOON (2006)
I've been thinking you've been missing
Always preying on your taking
So where have you been hiding lately?
I've been waiting on you to wake me
 
Here, there is nothing left to keep me awake
Here, there is no one who needs me to stay
Oh, won't you come along and show me the way
Just goodbye, too quick, too soon to lose you
 
I've been thinking of your kisses
Head to the door, lonely, listening
So where have you been staying lately?
I'll be dreaming, won't you come wake me?
 
Here, there is nothing left to keep me awake
Here, there is no one who needs me to stay
oh, won't you come along and show me the way
Just goodbye, too quick, too soon to lose you
It's goodbye, too quick
 
Stuck inside this box, you're on the other side and you're laughing
Sometimes I get so hot, I'm just lost in love, it's all the way I feel
Wish me away, when I need to stay, but you always leave me out
Just goodbye, too quick
 
When you give, you're only giving out from dreaming
When you give, you're only giving out
 
Hoping, praying, I've been missing
From you, do you wish to kiss me?
Willing, able, on your way home
Come show me, I'm lonely, be my one and only
It's too quick, just too soon for goodbye
Then I lose you
 

FLIPSIDE OF A PHOTOGRAPH (2004)
If I told you that I love you, would you turn around and walk away?
And if I brought myself to kiss you, would you get me back?
Or laugh right in my face?
If I gave you space, call it emptiness, or your saving grace
And if I use all my faith, would you do the same for me?
 
Would you say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
Everything we said, all the words we meant
I could use a little faith
 
If you say that you're my friend, then why do I feel like the enemy?
And when you told me "it's the end"
Then why did you leave, and crawl right to my feet?
And if I beg you, please, to try
Well, could you at least put a little faith in me?
And if you tell me it's okay to cry, then why do I get no sympathy?
 
Would you say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
Remember me, remember me
You're all that I have left, all that I have left
I could use a little faith
 
Did you want me to be yours again?
Did you want me to be your saving grace?
Did you want me at all?
Did you want me to crawl
 
Say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
You're all that I have left
Staring back at me through a photograph
 
 
MADE FOR ME (2006)
Caught inside those heavy eyes
They’re searching through my troubled mind, oh yeah
I could sing sweet lullabies
But you can see through my disguise, oh yeah
I start to see you were made for me
From the first impression, did you notice my attention?
Never fades away, you were always made for me
 
Edges are so rough around my silhouette
You smooth them out, oh yeah
Straying, I’m so far away
My shadow vanished in the shade, oh yeah
I start to see you were made for me
Words are unlike any action, not a thing like your distraction
I believe you were always made for me
 
I will tell you anything you want to hear
So listen close, my deepest fears are waiting to be told
As long as you keep me warm
A hiding place between your arms
Between the sheets, it’s you and me
Steady until dawn
And February, draw the shutters down
And gently press upon your mouth
Oh love, it must be love
 
Please don’t let me be forgotten
Please don’t let me get away, no, no
You’ll never be forgotten
I swear you were made for me
you were always made for me
 
 
I. L.O.V.E. Y.O.U. (2006)
I is for the hope I hold inside
L is for the love behind my eyes
O for arms wide open, though the words are left unspoken
Stretched around your empty space
Baby it’s a sin to know you’ll never fill it in
The only thing I do is pray for ‘I love you’
 
V is for your virtuosity
E is for every thing, indeed
Y there is no question, how I love you, not to mention
You’re the best thing that I ever did have
 
But it’s a shame you’ll never know, and our love will never grow
You left me so sad
But there’s nothing I could say, to bring me closer anyway
All that I can do is say I love you
I love you
 
O for arms wide open, though the words are left unspoken
Stretched around your empty space
U are all I need, before my heart begins to bleed
I’d die to see your shining face
But there’s nothing I could say, to bring me closer anyway
All that I can do is say I love you
 
Maybe it’d be better to write a message on this letter
Open it you’ll see
There’s nothing I could say, to bring me closer anyway
All that I can do is say I love you

SANTA FE (2006)
There's a long, hard road ahead
And I may never see you again, but don't you give up on me
And there, safe inside my head
A thought that's never fading away, while I'm counting the days
Holding the hope in the dreams I've saved
And now, there's a good chance I could lose you
Cause now I lie awake all day, I pray to god I'll find you waiting
 
Under the blackest clouds, I feel no rain
And though it is coming down, I'll shine again
And you will be mine
And the sun will shine
But it's such a lonely, lonely road to Santa Fe
 
I stare into the great unknown
The only road that I've ever known, and I'm dying to chase it down
But there's a bright light up ahead
A smile that's shining brighter than sunlight filled the sky
When that summer morning filled my eyes
And now, there's a good chance I could lose you
Cause now I lie awake all day, I pray to god I'll find you waiting
 
Under the blackest clouds, I feel no rain
And though it is coming down, I'll shine again
And you will be mine
And the sun will shine
But it's such a lonely, lonely road to Santa Fe
Santa Fe
 
Oh, caught in a landslide, feels like a road to nowhere
If you were here with me I'd last forevermore
No, it's been a long time since I've felt this helpless
But soon we'll be sharing every sunrise
Our love will carry on
 
Under the blackest clouds, I feel no rain
And though it is coming down, I'll shine again
And you will be mine
And the sun will shine
But it's such a lonely, lonely road
Under the blackest clouds, I feel no rain
And though it is coming down, I'll shine, shine again
And you will be mine
And my soul will shine
But it's such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely road to Santa Fe
Santa Fe
And you will be mine
And my soul will shine
 
 
 
SOUL MACHINE (2007)
I feel safe for now
I felt safe, oh when I had you
Cause now I'm lonely, so alone, my girl
In this soul machine, I’m coming clean
All because I’m tired of singing along with myself
I’m tired of waiting around for you
I think I’m ready for someone new
 
This soul machine sends me for a turn
Don't look now, cause I won't look down
I'm so high, afraid, I’ll one day hit the ground
How am I supposed to feel?
How am I supposed to breathe here without you?
I'm tired of singing along with myself
I’m tired of waiting around for you
And I don't mind that you don’t mind
I think I’m ready for someone new
No, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
This soul machine, kill my hopes and dreams
All the laughs and the screams, in a shell that’s weakening
I’m tired of singing along with myself
All done with singing along with myself
Maybe I don’t mind you’re suicide
Don’t cast your spell on no one else
No, no one else, but me
Anyway, I don’t mind that you don’t mind
You’re just so shady, but you’re always on my mind
I’m tired of waiting around for you
I think I’m ready for someone new
I'm crazy for you
So crazy for what you put me though
Maybe I’m the fool, but maybe, maybe I’m just so in love
Hold my hand, you're driving me crazy
Don't let go, won't you be my baby, please?
Let's dance away, we can fall in love anytime when we feel it
I think I feel it now
No, I don’t mind
I’m tired of waiting around for you
I don’t mind that you don’t mind
I think I’m ready for someone new
No, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
This soul machine, fueled by broken dreams
With a laugh and a scream, in a shell that’s weakening
I don't mind that you don't mind
No I don't mind singing along with myself
I’m tired of, so tired of, I'm tired of singing along with myself
I’m tired of, so tired of, I’m tired of, so tired of...
 
 
BAD REPUTATION (2008)
Annie was a school girl; still she had some room to grow
I met her by the jungle gym while she was climbing the poles
I asked her if she liked to swing
And she said that she’d try anything
And from that moment on, I was whipped and couldn’t leave her alone
When high-school came, there’s Annie typing on her phone
Said, “Remember me; I used to watch you climb the poles?”
Pulled out her cherry, lolli-pop, and that’s when I felt my heart stop
Kissing on my neck in the bathroom, she was ready to go
When she showed me her tattoo, my head was ready to blow
 
It’s just the way you swing those hips around
Looking for someone new to fit your lips around
You’re the talk of the town, the one you slept around
You got a real bad reputation, but a taste that’s sweeping the nation
She’s the choice of a whole generation
Look out boys: here she comes
Sure to chew you up, but never let you down
Look out girls: here she comes
Ever wonder why your man is never around?
 
She dropped out of school, trying to make her life on her own
I heard she had a kid and her boyfriend hit the road
With red lipstick, she turns her tricks, but I still need to get my fix
Right now she’s hung over and she’s cleaning up her broken home
And those high-heeled boots have got the boys all over the road
It’s just the way you swing those hips around
Looking for someone new to fit your lips around
You’re the talk of the town, the one you slept around
You got a real bad reputation, but a taste that’s sweeping the nation
She’s the choice of a whole generation
Look out boys: here she comes
Sure to chew you up, but never let you down
Look out girls: here she comes
Ever wonder why your man is never around?
So keep on dancin’, dancin’, she keep on dancin’, dancin’
Swing those hips around
So keep on dancin’, dancin’
I hear you even turn the ladies on, keep on dancin’, dancin’
Makin’ all the fellas jealous when I hit the acapella
But I never meant to ruin your game
You see I had my chance at the high school dance
But she drank too much hard lemonade
So tell your girl you’re working late because you want another taste
So she can fill her trash with roses, add a box of Chardonnay
You see whatever love that comes her way
She’ll chew it up and spit it out, So tell me what's the fuss about?
 
Annie got a job at the club; she’s taking off all her clothes
I heard she’s hanging upside down from the poles
She’s not the girl that I once knew
Her brown eyes turned to black and blue
And now she’s backstage with her dollar bills, feeding her nose
While her kid’s at the jungle gym, and she’s climbing the poles, oh no
Look out boys: here she comes
Look out girls: your man’s already messed around
Look out boys, look out girls, you better make your reservation
Here she comes, she keep on dancin', dancin'
She keep on dancin', dancin', she keep on dancin'
 
 
KEEP YOURSELF TOGETHER (2008)
Summer's here, so run and play
I think I'll just lay here and say: "I've had enough of everyone!"
I'm doubling the medicine
Late-afternoon, I'm buzzed again and feeling alright
All the streets are lined with supermen
But no one lends a helping hand, sayin': "Fool, you're on your own"
I caved myself in emptiness, and lied when I said: "no regret"
Lord, look what I've become...
I'm comfortable and numb
 
Dream a champagne dream
You're only smiling cause you're sleeping
Tryin' to keep yourself together
Gotta keep yourself together, oh
 
For every hour, come and go
Some are high, but all are low with lips that taste like wine
My shoes are filled with wet cement
And it rained on all my cigarettes
I swear I'm on a roll...
But I got no plans to go
 
So dream a champagne dream
You're only smiling cause you're sleeping
Tryin' to keep yourself together
Gotta keep yourself together, baby
Rain that novacaine
Just enough to give it meaning
When the world is hard to swallow
Maybe better luck tomorrow
 
Sleeping with a stranger isn't hard when you're alone
You know where you could go, it's out there
People everyday are only looking for a break
Tomorrow only waits outside your window
So smile, open wide, there's a world that waits just outside
Could you spare some money to borrow?
For better luck tomorrow, baby
 
Dream, dream, oh yeah
Come on, rain that novacaine
Just enough to give this meaning
Cause the words are hard to swallow
Better luck tomorrow
 
 
CRY TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD (2008)
