DONE
04:00
|

|
I think I’ll take up smoking,
Never have before,
To keep my fingers busy
And my body off the floor.
You had me at your silhouette,
You and your hat and hair,
And when I saw you in the light,
I had to get some air…
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?
Well lately I’ve been hungry,
But I can’t seem to stomach food,
Because you make me so damn nervous
It’s the strangest truth.
I wrote that script out in my head,
“The one where we were friends,”
And somehow it made sense to me,
But I couldn’t read the end.
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?
And you think that I’m a robot programmed from my youth,
That I don’t make my choices or consider other views.
But the truth is…
The truth is…
But the truth is…
That I got a little drunk last night,
And lost all of my clothes,
And woke up with you on my mind
I’ll never let you know…
Done to me,
Done, done to me?
Done to me,
Done, done to me?
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?
What have you done to me,
Done, done to me,
Done, done, done to me?

THE ISLAND
02:57

He said, “Honey you may have angels keeping you in the light,
But I’ve got these demons and they’re holding me tight.
So if you’ve a moment and can spare me the time,
I’m in over my head, won’t you throw me a lifeline?
“ ‘Cause I’m lost in the ocean, searching for the shore
You’re the Island, that i’ve been looking for
I hope you let me land, cause I can’t bear to let you go.”
He said, “Love, I’m a man, I’ve been wandering so long,
I’d almost lost all hope you existed at all,
But I see you and I feel you, you cant be a ghost,
If you’re willing to see me then I have to know.
“ ‘Cause I’m lost in the ocean, searching for the shore
You’re the Island, that i’ve been looking for
I hope you let me land, cause I can’t bear to let you go.”
You’re my sunshine, my refuge, my peace in the storm,
You’re the reason I’m seeing stars I’ve never seen before.

ALL WE NEED
03:03
|

|
Somedays you never know what hits you in the face,
Was it love? Was it allergies or falling out of grace?
Sometimes you never see what stops you on a dime,
Was it greed or prosperity or stepping out of line?
Everybody wrestles with their demons,
Everybody’s fighting to find freedom.
Everybody needs an absolution,
Everybody wants something that moves them,
And all we need is love.
Somedays you think you’ve heard the truth instead of lies,
And then the light shines through the darkness and fictions’ all you find.
Sometimes you think you know both sides of the debate,
And there’s a fight and you get angry and start giving into hate.
Everybody wrestles with their demons,
Everybody’s fighting to find freedom.
Everybody needs an absolution,
Everybody wants something that moves them,
And all we need is love.
———
Everybody wrestles with their demons,
Everybody’s fighting to find freedom.
Everybody needs an absolution,
Everybody wants something that moves them,
Everybody wrestles with their demons,
Everybody’s fighting to find freedom.
Everybody needs an absolution,
Everybody wants something that moves them,
And all we need is love.
All we need is love.
All we need is love.

GIVE A DAMN
02:58

I’m not your mother, I’m not your lover,
I’ve got no built in rights.
I’m not your father, I’m not your doctor,
But I can tell it’s serious.
Don’t say you’ll be there soon,
When you’re in a hospital room,
I love a good joke, but this one isn’t funny.
You’ve got a broken heart, you’ve gotta f—n’ start,
Letting your friends give a damn.
Oh because I’m a friend,
And I care about you dear,
I wish that you cared more about you too.
‘Cause if you don’t care,
The battle is twice as hard,
‘Cause I have fight you and try to convince you that you’re worth it.
I’m not your mother, I’m not your lover
Oh but honey, I give a damn.

I COULDN'T SEE
03:21

We took a plane that summer to Seattle, we were four months in,
Said I loved him, though, I didn’t like when we were kissing,
I started growing my hair out, he said he liked it long.
Mondays at the Red Eye Fly, playing to an empty bar,
He was in the corner waiting there to get my stuff into the car,
Thought it sweet, I couldn’t see there was something deeper going on.
He’s telling me, he’s telling me,
That I’m the one…
There was a night we sat in darkness in my car and I confessed,
I thought him safe because of faith, but was condemned and feeling stressed,
He took me to a field and tried to pray it out of me in tongues.
He’s telling me, he’s telling me,
That I’m the one,
I couldn’t see, I couldn’t see
What I’d become…
Bit by bit I lost myself in his dream,
And somehow I still feared he was my last opportunity…
He’s telling me, he’s telling me,
That I’m the one,
I couldn’t see, I couldn’t see
What I’d become…
Every now and then I think about him late at night,
How he was the worst thing and the best thing at the same damn time,
And why the hell it took so long to find the will to run.

SUPERSTITIOUS
02:59
|

|
Impossible to be here when my magic mirror
Keeps moving at the speed of light,
Sugar in my pocket, wish I could stop it,
But it feels so good to be liked.
We want what we can’t have and are afraid may never find,
My mind is reeling, a superstitious feeling and it keeps me awake at night.
OO
I find a picture and I remember back when you were mine,
Our love was hectic you were electric a current moving up my spine
We want what we can’t have and are afraid may never find,
My mind is reeling, a superstitious feeling and it keeps me awake at night.
OO
OO
If you wanna ride this roller coaster,
You’re gonna have a hell of a time.
You don’t know how low you’ll have to go,
To get a little hit of that high.
We want what we can’t have and are afraid may never find,
My mind is reeling, a superstitious feeling and it keeps me awake at night.

WHAT WE DAYDREAM NOW
03:06
|
|||
|
Pull up a chair and on your way over
Bring me another beer.
It’s fine cause I ain’t driving,
Everybody’s coming over here.
Nobody’s leaving, nobody goes
Until we pass around the guitar.
And when the sun burns out over this town
We’ll be wishing on the shooting stars.
Staying up too late, smiling as the fire dies down,
And I can see your face, funny what we daydream now.
I don’t really like big crowds
But I’m missing them today.
I miss the heat on the street
and the sound of the beat of the music playing.
I never longed for the open road,
Until I couldn’t leave my home.
And I’d even by fine just standing in line
If I had anywhere to go.
Trying on a sunburn, spending like it don’t run out,
Never any concerns, funny what we daydream now.
What we daydream now,
What we daydream now.
Cutting holes in all the things I used to complain about,
‘Cause they don’t seem to matter much now…
When this is over you’ll come over
And we won’t think twice,
We’ll be glad we can, say “Remember when,”
And, “Isn’t this nice?”
Staying up too late, smiling as the fire dies down,
And I can see your face, funny what we daydream now.
What we daydream now,
What we daydream now.
Staying up too late, smiling as the fire dies down,
I wanna see your face, funny what I daydream now.

IN MY DREAMS
03:56
|

|
I discovered you in a parking lot,
My second trip to music town,
We met again in a bar in New Orleans,
And ever since I struggle to put you down.
You’re just sitting there in the cupboard shadows,
Patiently waiting cause you know that I know
That just as soon as I can justify it,
I’m coming for you cause you never tell me no.
There was a time you were never on my mind,
And now it seems you’re even in my dreams.
I never believed in the magical,
Until you cast your spell on me.
Just like a bug in the blue light of death
I put my faith in technology.
There was a time you were never on my mind,
And now it seems you’re even in my dreams.
When does distraction become an adiction?
The line’s too thin to know,
You’re so beautiful (you’re so beautiful)
You’re so beautiful, I don’t wanna let you go…
There was a time you were never on my mind,
And now it seems you’re even in my dreams.
There was a time you were never on my mind,
And now it seems you’re even in my dreams.

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME
03:13
|
|||
|
Why do I try so hard, why do I fight
Every single thing you say?
Why do I complicate and twist your words,
Is it that I’m afraid of what I’m worth?
Don’t give up on me.
Don’t give up on me.
I want to love with everything I am
But I’m afraid of loving you.
How will I be changed?
How will I be moved?
Don’t give up on me.
Don’t give up on me.
Don’t give up on me.
Don’t give up on me.

SEE YOU AGAIN
04:19
|
|||
|
My earliest memories took place in your home
When all us kids would spend the night.
We’d get up early to watch cartoon shows
Until we smelled pancake delights.
Each holiday, the whole family came
For your Cranberry Jubilee,
And all our goodbyes were a wave and a cry of
“I love you,” and, “See you next week.”
And we’d hug and we’d smile,
Leaving was always easy when
“Goodbye,” was only for awhile,
And I knew that I’d see you again.
Each Sunday morning I’d sit in your pew
Taking in every gospel song.
You were the first alto I heard
Though I thought you were singing it wrong.
As I grew and matured and found my own church
We started drifting apart,
A couple tattoos and a city of blue -
I found my way under different stars…
But we’d hug and we’d smile,
Leaving was always easy when
“Goodbye,” was only for awhile,
And I knew that I’d see you again.
The last time we met, you looked at me funny
And asked if you knew me “from before?”
For all my life you’ve been family,
Now I’m a stranger you don’t know anymore.
So I work up a smile and hold out my hand,
I won’t let the tears show.
I can’t get back the you from my past,
The person I lost long ago.
When we’d hug and we’d smile,
And leaving was always easy when
“Goodbye,” was only for awhile,
And I knew that I’d see you again.
Now it may not be till the light at the end of
The Tunnel shines all around…
But I swear with every fiber in me,
That I will see you again -
I swear with every fiber in me,
That I will see you again.
