It's Now Can't

Under the water,
Its cold and its grey.
My torrid autumn,
Another season decays.
Open up the Hollow,
And my walls come down.
I tell you it’s a problem,
Just when no one’s around.
But then,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will draw a line.
I will draw my line.
Look at all of these peoples, Tragic little people,
They smile and then they don’t know what for.
But then,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will blur my line.
I will blur my line.
Our houses are haunted, Dark and deserted,
They’re made of my secrets and shame.
Baby I want it I know I’m not worth it,
I can’t even tell you my name.
Again,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re wrong,
You took it all away from me.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will cross my line.
I am crossing my line.

Look Again

You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me
And look, look, look what you've done
Well, you took all the best of me
So come get the rest of me
And look back, finish what you've begun
Be done
There is someone you ought to meet
It's me, Mister Incomplete
Look at what I've become
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two
Look, I said back, finish what you've begun
Be done
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide
And we'll try to decide
What you've needed
But from where I stand today
I can't think of a way
Or the words that I might say
That could change your mind and make you stay
Oh no, not for all the times I've pleaded
Look what you've done
You have taken the best of me
So come get the rest of me
Look back, finish what you've begun
Oh, be done

The End

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye

Love Me

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
My guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
I love you I really do
Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again

What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And listen to my sad guitar

It Is

Don't you know it's true
I belong to you
Don't you know it's just how it is

Dont you know it's so
I won't let it go
Don't you know it's just the way it is

Long Time

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over guys you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

Hers

She seemed so cold to me
and I remember when I loved her
She seemed so cold to me
but I remember when I loved her
Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her
Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her
when I loved her
when I loved ... her

Heaven?

I look at you
And before my eyes it's true
The girl of my dreams
Is not quite what she seems

Open your door
Turn on the light
Show me some more
Tell me it's alright

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

I look at you
At everything you do
The words in your head
Still remain unsaid

Open you eyes
Inflatable girl
Lose the disguise
Release me from your spell

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

Little

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand and walk with me, my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling me to close me eyes
Some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to feel this way
Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
My body safe to shore
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
I'll tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, and buried in the past
I used to play outside when I was young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right.
My mind is playing tricks on me my dear
Don't listen to a word I say

The screams all sound the same
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing I can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Lost

Excuse me? Doctor? If you have a moment?
A moment? What's the question?
More of a situation, a gentleman in exam 3
What's the problem?
That is the problem, we're not sure.
You got the chart?
Right here.
Hmm.. Not much here is there
No doctor, no obvious physical trauma. Vitals are stable.
Name?
No sir.
Did someone drop him off? Maybe we could speak to them. Let's get some
on this fella.
No ID. Nothing and he won't speak to anybody.
Well, let's say hello. Good Morning, I'm Dr. Wasson. How are you today? How are you today?! Look son, you're in a safe place. We wanna help in whatever way we can. But need to talk to us. We can't help you otherwise. Now what's happened? Tell me everything.

All By Myself

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Those days are gone

Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

Congratulations

Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations, you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need
This morning I looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night, I lay alone in my bed
With an image of you going around in my head
Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations, now I'm sorrow bound
Congratulations, you got a good deal
Congratulations how good you must feel
I guess that I must have loved you more than I ever knew
My would is empty now 'cause it don't have you
And if I had just one more chance to win your heart again
I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend
Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations, now it's too late
Congratulations, you came out on top
Congratulations, you never did know when to stop

The Night Before

we said our goodbyes
the night before
love was in your eyes
the night before
now today i find, you have changed your mind
treat me like you did the night before
were you telling lies
the night before
was i so unwise
the night before
when i held you near, you were so sincere
treat me like you did the night before
last night is the night i will remember you by
when i think of things we did, it makes me wanna cry

Swan

i rearrange my feelings
like an oragami
paper swan
so i don't have to feel you
and i can just
travel on
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
caught in the net
of loves regret
my heart is beating on
the wind
a bird is worth more in the hand
i tried to give you all within
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
like a pirate on a bender
a five course surrender
a hole in my heart
and it meddles the start
of the shipwreck of you
the shipwreck of you
how can you say that we started this way
now that our loveship is sinking
you got along like a dream and your gone
everything just floats away
just floats away
you run around like a pirates crown
on the open seas of my heart
you think i'm some kind of carousel ride
oh look there goes a floating swan
but you caught my eyes
it was glding by
and now i feel i'm lost
inside your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
shiver me timbers
my hearts all in splinters
give me some rum
and a fist like a drum
and it's shipwreck of me
shipwreck of me
you took your aim
when there is no blame
and now you've captured
all my flags

Fall to Grace

In the deepest frozen doubt
There's a thawing, lifting out
This ending rope
My ray of hope
There's no reason to believe
But the heart rolls up it's sleeve
This day's not done
While I paint a sun
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain
An eternal fall to grace
Playing out in decaying space
Oh travel on
It won't be long
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain

How do you feel (Summer '07)

Would you like to say something before you leave?
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel.
You said goodbye before we've said hello.
I hardly even like you.
I shouldn't care at all.
We met just six months ago.
The music was too loud.
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year.
And I would like to know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Not a single word was said.
Delights still without fears.
Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need?
I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of eleven five.
My friends are playing in the sun, I wish I was there.
Next year brings another love, another girl like you.
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just to let me know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Goodbye to you.
Charlotte Kringles too.
I've had enough for one day.

Christmas

No, there won't be Christmas for me this year
For the simple reason being you're not here
There won't be eggnogs by the cozy fire
There won't be glasses of mulled wine either
There won't even be a Christmas tree
'cause you're not here to light it up with me
Oh, Santa won't you bring my baby back to me?
'cause i miss her yes, i miss her oh so dearly
I haven't sent her a Christmas card
'cause that would mean we really are apart
The Christmas stockings are as empty as my heart
I know you're away doing something good
But just this once, baby, if you could
You know you can, and you know should
'cause Christmas won't be Christmas…
without you

Millionaire

Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love ev'rywhere
Give a little love to me
Take a lotta love from me
I want to share it with you
I Feel like a millionaire

Once we were mad we were happy
We spent all our days holding hands together
Do you remember my love
How we danced and played?
In the rain we laid
We could stay there for ever and ever
Now I am sad you are so far away
I sit counting the hours day by day
Come back to me
How I long for your love
Come back to me
Be happy like we used to be
Come back come back to me
Come back come back to me
Oh come back to me oh my love
How I long for your love
Won't you come back to me?
My fine friend
Take me with you and love me forever
My fine friend
Forever forever
Make me feel like a millionaire

The End of the World

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
