Prepared
02:52
|
|||
=================================================
All the time that we've spent
The things that we've been through
I get the feeling now and then
I can't live up to you
Can my actions all defend
A life lived next to new?
On how I feel it all depends
But this I know is true
The thoughts inside my head go on and on and on
As I try to keep myself prepared
But when the time comes and it's all said and done
I know that you'll meet me there
Sifting through the sands of time
I long to see my soul
So I see what I can find
But all there is is gold
I catch myself falling behind
I can't carry that load
Until I think of the next rhyme
By then it starts to show
The thoughts inside my head go on and on and on
As I try to keep myself prepared
But when the time comes and it's all said and done
I know that you'll meet me there
The thoughts inside my head go on and on and on
As I try to keep myself prepared
But when the time comes and it's all said and done
I know that you'll meet me there
Yes, I know that you'll meet me there

Pop Song #2
03:57
|
|||
================================================
As the days creep by
It's hard to think that I could be someone
That means so much to you
And though I don't know why
Still I look to find a reason
Why it's true
I just can't explain what it puts me through
I can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do
Will you ever know?
If you only knew
Can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do
And in the midnight sky
How the stars they shine
Just waitin' for a day that's new
It'd be a big surprise
When they realize
How much brighter they could shine
If they knew you
The whole world stands still when I'm with you
I can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do
Will I be enough to satisfy you?
I can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do
The greatest thing I've ever known
Sits right next to me
With the purest love that can be shown
She sets me free
When the rain hits hard on the ground
I know it can't bring me down
'Cause she is all around
And she loves me
More than you
I just can't explain what it puts me through
I can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do
Will you ever know?
If you only knew
I can't stop thinking about your love
And what it might do

Shoes on the Roof
03:01
|
|||
================================================
It started to rain
That's when she went insane
That's when she could not take it anymore
She got in line
For the last time
And she made her way out my door
But you left your shoes on the roof
You didn't know what was coming to you
You left your shoes on the roof
You left your shoes on . . .
She got halfway
That's when I heard her say
That I would not be seeing her anymore
Then she walked on
She didn't care if she was right or wrong
She just kept on swimming towards her shores
But you left your shoes on the roof
You didn't know what was coming to you
You left your shoes on the roof
You left your shoes on the . . .
As weeks went by
I asked myself why
I had lost the one that I adored
But it's a fact
Yeah, I know that she'll be back
'Cause there's something here that she just can't ignore
You left your shoes on the roof
You didn't know what was coming to you
You left your shoes on the roof
You left your shoes on the roof
On the roof
On the roof
On the roof
On the roof

Back when I could be heard
I could fly like a bird
Not aware of the day I'd die
But standing here on the curb
I am forced to observe
All these people with all their lies
And nothing seems to satisfy
The longing that I hold inside
To figure and undecide
What is going on and on . . .
And on . . .
Wherever you go
There you are
Wherever you go
There you are
You don't have to look very far
'Cause wherever you go
There you are
So try again says a man
With a sock upon his hand
In the end it will be all right
I was fine until then
'Til the thought of the end
Crept back into my mind
And the elements that make me bored
Are cut in two with a whirling sword
My spirit is thrown overboard
Then I start to fall and fall . . .
And fall . . .
Wherever you go
There you are
Wherever you go
There you are
You don't have to look very far
'Cause wherever you go
There you are
When everything is going down;
Your whole world is turned around
Everything is going down;
Your whole world is turned around
This is how we figure out
This is how we figure out
This is how we figure out
Who you are
And who you're not;
What you want
And what you've got
Wherever you go
There you are
Wherever you go
There you are
You don't have to look very far
'Cause wherever you go
There you are
There you are

Good-Time Song
04:00
|
|||
================================================
In the morning sun
The day has just begun
I search my mind for a reason
To go on
Then I turn around
When I hear that sound
It's something that will make a life
A little bit more fun
It knows the right way
To make a brighter day
It gets inside your head
And never lets you go
You know just what it is
It's sang by all the kids
You can't miss it
It's on the radio
It's that song
It's a good-time song
It's a good-time song
It's a good-time song
You go and face the world
You're thinking of that girl
It must be so nice
To be loved by her
You wonder if she's real
You wonder what she'd feel
If she were more than something
In that song
In the good-time song
It's the good-time song
It's a good-time song
Why can't she be more like that girl?
Is there one out there in this world?
And, oh, the way she makes you feel
Even though she's not real
That song
It's a good-time song
It's a good-time song
It's the good-time song
You never know just when it comes
You sit around twiddlin' your thumbs
Then before you know a thing
You begin to sing . . .

Anna ~
Don't you know that I need you?
I can't help but believe you
And everything that you say
Anna ~
You're my one & only
When my days get lonely
You make the pain go away
And when the rainclouds move in on my life
You are always there to make things right
And while the rain keeps falling from dark skies
The Sun is always shinin'
In your eyes
Anna ~
I'm so lost without you
All my dreams are about you
And your wondrous grace
Anna ~
Don't you know that I love you?
It's clear my dreams have all come true
With one look at your face
And when I face the battles in my life
You are always there to lead my fight
And while the rain keeps falling from dark skies
The Sun is always shinin'
In your eyes
Anna ~
I need to know that you're out there
My whole world is a nightmare
When you are away
Anna ~
You're my one & only
When my days get lonely
You make the pain go away
And when it looks like there's no hope in sight
It's your love that gets me through the night
And though the forecast calls for cloudy skies
I know the Sun is always shinin'
In your eyes
Tomorrow there'll be rainbows
In you eyes
'Cause the Sun is always shinin'
In your eyes
The Sun always shines
In your eyes

The Same
02:49
|
|||
================================================
Looking back on my simple life
I can see just how it's gone
Even the eyes of a perfect stranger
Can tell there's something wrong
I hope that I can find a sign
That leads to the right way
But lately it's been hard to find
I guess I'll stay the same
The water from my shower
Flows down the drain
I think of how for countless hours
My life has done
The same
Is it a crime to go on this way?
I can't make up my mind
My sight is sold to a different day
But sill I feel I'm blind
It's always been so hard to avoid
All of the relentless guilt
But as I die and soak up the lies
My world begins to tilt
The water from my showers
Flow down the drain
I think of how for countless hours
My life has done
The same
The water from my showers
Flows down the drain
I think of how for countless hours
My life has done
The same

Girl of My Dreams
05:25
|
|||
================================================
On this night of all nights I'm alone
I lie balled up on my bed
And it's getting a little bit cold
There is nothing that I could want any more
Than for the girl of my dreams to show up
Waiting at my door . . .
But who could want what I've got?
Who could need someone like me?
What kind of girl would want to share my world?
She'd have to plead to insanity
I can't wait to meet this girl of my dreams
When she finally shows up waiting at my door
Then I hear her footsteps coming up the stairs
I see her walking beautifully
With flowers in her hair
I wait there for her to be my one & only call
But it's just the neighbor that lives down the hall
But after all . . .
Who could want what I've got?
Who could need someone like me?
What kind of girl would want to share my world?
She'd have to plead to insanity
I can't wait to meet this girl of my dreams
When she finally shows up waiting at my door
I know that she will be the one
When she comes for me
But up until that point in time
I'll wait patiently . . .
But who could want what I've got?
Who could need someone like me?
What kind of girl would want to share my world?
She'd have to be crazier than me
I can't wait to meet this girl of my dreams
When she finally shows up at my door . . .
When she shows up at my door

Shenanigans in 'D'
03:05
|

================================================
Hopeless dreams of gold
Instilled in my soul
I never really know
Just where to call my home
I guess it will come to me
When the time is right
I guess it will come to me
Whenever I like
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
The world is growing old
I'm wanting to explode
I try to break the mould
But in the end I fold
I never know where it starts
Or where it ends
I never know if it will
Come back again
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
It just can't be true
That there's nothing here that's new
The world just can't be
So user-friendly to me
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

=================================================
I doubt you know just how much
Your smile means to me
Every time I seem to be down
To get it up, your face I see
And just like a light bulb, you
You always brighten up a room
I wonder how hard it is
To be the life of a party
Be the center of attention . . .
Oh, and every time I look around, I see you
I see you smiling
Everyday and every way, I know
I know you're with me
Every time I look around, I see you
I see you smiling
Everyday and every way, I know
I know you're with me
Should I compare you
To a bright & dawning summer's day?
You know I think you'll make the Sun feel bad
And keep the Moon at bay
So how could you not see
How beautiful you are to me?
I know there's a mirror on your wall
And it joins me in singing . . .
And every time I look around, I see you
I see you smiling
Everyday and every way, I know
I know you're with me
Every time I look around, I see you
I see you smiling
Everyday and every way, I know
I know you're with me

Surreal
03:44
|

================================================
I wake up to hear her calling
Shouting my name out loud
Silence is gently falling
It's falling without a sound . . .
The timing is right for the future
But what happened to right now?
The heavens all introduce her
Her beauty is all around . . .
It's the way she makes me feel
The deepest love that can reveal
She appears like morning sun
Then my world starts to become
Surreal . . . surreal . . .
Nothing's the same thereafter
Everything's just a blur
She brightens the world with her laughter
Miracles start to occur . . .
Somehow I know that she loves me
Her love I can't live without
She's larger than life because she
Will never be figured out . . .
It's the way she makes me feel
The deepest love that can reveal
She appears like morning sun
Then my world starts to become
Surreal . . . surreal . . .
Surreal . . . surreal . . .
It's her love that can make me feel surreal . . .
Surreal
It's her love that can make me feel surreal . . .
Surreal
It's her love that can make me feel surreal . . .

Rescue
05:16
|

================================================
Left & right I search
For a way out of here
Trouble up ahead
I know I sound like
The other ones
But they're all dead
Everyday there's
Something in my way
I don't know what it is
Maybe I will
Find out someday
If I get to live
But I've never asked for more than
What was given to me
I've never looked for answers that were
Plain to see
Time goes by all the hours
Add up to something to forget
If you stand out in the rain too long
You're gonna get wet
What you know
Is what the others teach you
You've gotta learn for yourself
I think so
Searching for
The pieces to complete you
You've gotta find them yourself
'Cause I won't rescue you
Who am I to tell
You what to do?
Was I wrong or right?
But you can bring
Your broken heart to me
I'll glue it right this time
Loneliness keeps
Knocking at your door
Why don't you make him a key?
Tell him all of
Your pitiful stories
But don't tell 'em to me
'Cause I've never asked for more than
What was given to me
I've never looked for answers that were
Plain to see
Time goes by all the hours
Add up to something to forget
If you stand out in the rain too long
You're gonna get wet
What you know
Is what the others teach you
You've gotta learn for yourself
I think so
Searching for
The pieces to complete you
You've gotta find them yourself
'Cause I won't rescue you
Look inside & you will find
Something that is better than you
One by one around the Sun
And when it's done . . .
I will rescue you
