The Road (Intro)

How’d we get so far from the one dream
How’d we get so far from being who we are

Linger
03:34
|
|||
When you’d go away from me
I’d stay and wait for you
And when you’d sleep at night
I used to pray you still cared for me
I say I saw you dared to walk away
Though you know I knew you
Such a shame your frivolities my mind can’t erase
They deride my value
And it’ll haunt you in those quiet times when no one’s around
The silence in your sound of mind I’ll haunt you wherever you go
Was it my fault who dropped the ball when it was ready to be served
It was your turn
And now it’ll linger in the quiet of your heart
And I’ll wonder but ain’t goin’ nowhere
And I’ll whisper for all time watch it linger
That ghost is yours and mine
I’ll linger to forever
He said ‘I’ll leave her’
Though he didn’t go nowhere
Linger
Linger, linger and I’ll whisper
I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Watch it linger in the quiet of your heart
And I’ll wonder but it ain’t goin’ nowhere

Might Be Eternity
03:29
|
|||
They rarely come to the valley
If I didn’t live here would I even come and see me
Dodging my way through the alleys
Avoiding the neighbors and those I don’t wanna see
He said pour me a drink will ya
Let us take a load off imagine the both of us free
I’ll go for a walk with ya
We can tune out the world then sit under our favorite tree
Oh I don’t know when this day will end
So pull up a chair it might be eternity
Boom an unforeseen gamble
Swallowing language counting from one to three
Still find myself in a scandal
Guess it don’t matter they’ll still question your loyalty
They say pour out your eyes will ya
Put your pointer to thumb until your mind is empty
I stand in the sun with ya
Let the lotus unfurl remind myself what makes me, me
Oh I don’t know when this day will end
So pull up a chair it might be eternity
Oh I don’t know when this day will end
So pull up a chair it might be eternity
Oh I don’t know when this day will end
So pull up a chair it might be eternity

Call Your Name
02:55
|
|||
I didn’t call your name
Visiting each night in my dreams
And in the waking game
Pretending you don’t think of me

Be a Smart Girl
01:43
|
|||
All of that sweetness that swam in your mouth
Some found it harmless I had my doubts
Sift your intentions what I didn’t do
I surrendered you withdrew
What if we don’t win this
Do I get lost up in it
Can’t believe I lost all my good senses
Be a smart girl this cannot happen again
Very good show here’s a slow hand-praise
Thought it was real and now it’s too late
Coming undone from the sound of your voice
Running for cover is my only choice
What if we don’t win this
Do I get locked up in it
Can’t believe I lost all my good senses
Be a smart girl this cannot happen again

Cleo and the King
03:06
|
|||
I survived it you and I know that
I designed you but they don’t know no no
When I get scared and retreat underneath my two shells
The king waits for me brave and silently
He won’t punish me like the others have done
Like Cleo who sought the warmth of other suns
Held by an army of love in return
That he did not deserve
They don’t know but you and I do
The role of you the role of you
Perfectly casted and played by us two
Played by us two
Cleo destroys me over and over again
My grace it belied all the torment I knew as your friend
Standing for you but discarded at whim
‘til I learned to use my own legs by its end
But I’m crawling
I’m barely crawling
They don’t know but you and I do
The role of you the role of you
Perfectly casted and played by us two
Played by us two
I did not deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
deserve it over and over again
over again
over again
over again
over again

The Ceiling
05:00
|
|||
I’m climbng up the wall it’s what I do it is not my fault
My mind ran wild when I couldn’t reach you
It’s twenty after one I sure do hope you had fun
While I’ve been sitting here going crazy
Never mind the texts and the thirty-four calls
And disregard the bottle on the bedroom floor
You think it’s such a problem that I don’t stay calm like they do
Like they do
Oh no there I go again boy you got me seeing red
And I can’t blame you when you go ‘cause I lose all self-control
Though it’s not an easy ride I promise I’ll be good next time
‘cause I’m feeling like I pushed you to the ceiling
The silence is so loud in here cuts through the air razor clear
It’s like the walls are caving in on me
I know you’ve had enough if I could find a way to stop
Life for you and me would be easy
Hurt people hurt people endlessly
And when I don’t feel safe I will fight for me
Even if that means that I won’t make nice like they do
Like they do
I know I go too far
But I’m trying hard to be the girl you love
I forget myself and I scream and yell
No one can put me out when I’m this fired up

Seems So
03:54
|
|||
I’m used to walking in a straighter line
I could learn to love a zig zag but it’ll take a little time
Wild and free you are but me I lost my roar
I should learn to scream sometime open up a little more
‘Cause I love how you say what you want
(hey hey)
And I love how you don’t give a mutha-
(hey hey)
And I wish I didn’t think so much
It seems so wonderful
You know that war between logic and the heart
I can tell what side you’ve won and I knew it from the start
When you said you wanna be with me until you’re older
You sure you really mean that ‘cause once I love I don’t let go
But I love how you do what you want
(hey hey)
And I love how you don’t give a mutha-
(hey hey)
And I wish I didn’t think so much
It seems so wonderful

Little Girl
02:28
|
|||
There’s a little girl
Deep inside you
She don’t trust nobody no,
Not even you but tell her
That I won’t ever fail
Fail her no
‘Cause this love is not for sale
I can let you go if you want
Let me tell you this
You’ll never find a sweeter love no
And I would be remiss not to tell you
That I won’t ever fail
Fail you no
‘Cause my love is not for sale
I won’t ever fail
Fail you no
‘Cause my love is not for sale

Old Man
04:07
|
|||
There are things that I wanna do but I don’t make plans
Don’t you see that I’m struggling here baby won’t you give me a hand
Won’t you be quiet and face all the music going through my head
And I won’t be over it ‘til I go through it and reach the end
Am I crazy
Sometimes I think I am
Or just lazy
Let me lie here ‘til I’m an old man
There are days when I’m made of iron and can’t be destroyed
But the truth is sometimes I get tired power unemployed
Where is the valor to tell you the stories running through my mind
When I can’t be honest or even wholehearted I’ll try to be kind
Am I open
I like to think I am
Or just broken
Let me lie to you like an old man
You see that I’m struggling here baby
You see that I’m struggling here baby
I’ll just lie here ‘til I’m an old man
Wake me up when I am an old man
I’ll just lie here ‘til I’m an old man
Let me lie here ‘til I’m an old man
