Memories

you seemed so innocent broke my heart and start again, still just kids
one step at a time, hold tights to the line, eyes dead ahead
and raise your eyes, so that i can see my friend
and raise your eyes, and take my hand
-----------
so deal the cards, but turn the faces back down,
so deal the cards, but turn the faces back down,
and slap jack innocence, chocolate wagers break the fence....
and friends watch as we fall....
so fight fight it’s alright, mom won’t know we’ll keep it quiet
she won’t know, until tomorrow comes and goes...
-----
-----
and now that child, is superman, once again,
and now the child, is superman, once again,
so fly fly, until the cry, and run to mom, one last time
so lie white for just tonight, while the red hand has nothing left say
and we plead forgiveness with those blinking eyes
like puppy love the guilt is inside

A Lullaby For No One
03:28
|
|||
|
----------
a lullaby for no one, no one just close your eyes tonight
and deep breathes and short steps,
and we will, we will fly,
we will fly......
---------
and peter pan in neverland, straight to the light on to what’s right
fairy dust is all we can trust tonight
-----
-----
head against the glass as we drive so fast, did i miss it all
as we drive all, through the night
you see trunks as we see trees, but its more than that its my dream
but thats O.K., because it’s you and me
not sure where we’ll eat or sleep tonight but that’s alright
as long as you smile back at me that’s all i need
as i close my eyes to sleep
-----
-----
fly...... fly........
they say a picture is worth a thousand words...
i say we burn them all
instead lets frame each moment in happiness, in eternal bliss
---
lullaby for someone, lullaby alright, and close your eyes ‘cause its alright
lullaby for someone, lullaby alright, lullaby for someone, that someone is here tonight

Paper Flowers

|
But what if I can make you smile
What if I can be enough
What if I am a better person
Because of who you are
-----
There is a chance that this won’t work
That we will fall apart
A chance that we could unwillingly
Break each other’s hearts
-----
-----
You might bring me closer to
What I want t o be
You might show me things
That I have never seen
-----
-----
Memories are made from these broken wings now fly away
Memories are made from these paper wings now fly away

I started out atlanta bound
and all the signs pointed me on my way
but halfway there everything disappeared
and now i know, that atlanta’s not there
----
so how do i turn this train around
i thought that i was atlanta bound
but i was wrong
----
so maybe its nashville
or maybe just tennessee
i never felt that new york
held anything for me
thinking we were outcasts
but knowing that was never true
just not wanting... ----------
----
----
and its icecream and tears
say what you want to say
and its icecream and tears
say what you want to say
i started out atlanta bound
but halfway there everything turned around
am i lost or am i found
i’m halfway there but i’m so scared
-----
-----
and its ok, that we didn’t find a way
to fight, to fight the good fight today
and its alright, that we didn’t didn’t find a way
and i will sleep, just fine...... as two separate hearts beat

Games
02:57
|

|
and there’s something that we
that we never talked about
there’s something that we
never said out loud
----
played our games and we felt just fine
turned and walked away didn’t blink an eye
sometimes
it feels it never happened
----
and the scenery has changed
but some things still remain
despite what we think
and what we want to believe
----
played our games and we felt just fine
turned and walked away didn’t blink an eye
sometimes
it feels it never happened
----
and they say ignorance is bliss
and that love is in a kiss
but i think it comes down to context
----
played our games and we felt just fine
turned and walked away didn’t blink an eye
sometimes
it feels it never happened

open your eyes to light
a soft voice calms you down
and you wave your arms
and you cry aloud
------
we’ll take it slow now
let’s leave out the pain
we’ll take it slow now
let me take away your pain
*
so rally the men
give them one last call again
say goodbye, cause you know its not the time
and make amends
with all your friends
------
the picture frames are fallen
and the memory’s just begun
and memories are flying
but we didn’t live a one
-----
we’ll take it slow now
let’s leave out the pain
we’ll take it slow now
let me take away your pain
*
so rally the men
give them one last call again
say goodbye, cause you know its not the time
and make amends
with all your friends

Christmas Song
03:42
|
|||
|
-----
And as we sit here, looking back at life
I often wonder, why we are floating in our trials,
Ya life looks hard, ya life is hard,
-----
But would we have it any other way
You gotta think twice, you gotta think twice,
Full of sins and omissions, and all of the above
I often look at the world and wish there was more love,
but then I open my eyes to the heavens above
And thank, God
And thank, God
For forgiving a son, and forgetting all of sin
for seeing the helpless, and lending a hand
for a life full of trials, never too hard
And gratitude is in my heart,
for the scars and trials that set me apart
for all, the love
-----
-----
And I look up and say, a little prayer
Then I close my eyes and pretend I’m there
-----
-----
life is hard, but we just go on,
we must go on

Midnight Drive
02:45
|
|||
|
-----
midnight drive in the summer
we talked as friends of failed attempts to be better
-----
try and define where the feelings lie
i know it feels so one sided sometimes
but we drive on
* guitar bridge
all the signs they point again
i just don’t want to lose a friend
so here we are lets say it all
let it out and brace for the fall
i never thought i’d kiss and tell
but its seems it didn’t work too well
on that
-----
on that midnight drive
-----
and honesty is a policy
thats always been hard for me
and so i’ll walk around again
and pretend that you’re just my friend
on this
-----
midnight drive
we talked as friend
of failed attempts
-----
but to be true
but to be true
i
i love you

Farewell
04:12

Slow down
Slow down, and take the time to look around
Take the time to admire the world
And admire the world
-------
Is it more than you asked for
Is it more than you can place
Is it hard to ask the question
Is it more than you can take
I can’t wait
I can’t stand still
I can’t wait
I can’t stand still
One foot in front of the other
Hand over your heart
Walking towards tomorrow
Where we’ll be apart
Is it more than you asked for
Is it more than you can place
Is it hard to ask the question
Is it more than you can take
------
Brake lights in the distance
Forgive me now for what I say
Redemption seems lost now
As we fade away
You walked away without a word
Meant for love and not for hate
Does it even matter
Now that it’s too late
Now that its too late
As we fade away
-------
-------
I guess now its too late
Second chances gone
Nothing left but to
Move… move on
Was there fault
Is there blame
Are we both
Are we both O.K.?
As we fade away
As we fade away
As we fade away
Now that its too late
Now that its too late
Now that its too late

Slow Bird
04:51
|
|||
|
and you watch the slow bird,
almost every day
and what have you hear
what did you mean to say
and I.... I am sorry for the all things I’ve said
and I.... I am sorry for the all things I did
----
and winter is ill
all the trees are dead
and people have all
these sad thoughts
in their heads
of what is to come
a melody is a tune stuck
in your head
you hum it around and
wish that it were dead
until you listen
and these words aren’t mine
but i’ll pass them around (along?)
cause it seems like the right time
right time
----
and the longest beat
never goes (falls?) where you want it to go
and no one’s ever stopped you, you know
and I... I am sorry, for all the things I’ve said
and I... I am sorry, for all the things I did
----

Dreams
03:51
|
|||
|
rest your head
close your eyes
i’ll count for you
and hold you tight
the stars may fall
and the storms will come
but the sun will rise
bringing in new life
----
Dream with angels
in a bed of butterflies
follow that rainbow
chase tomorrow’s skies
and once again you’ll come back from the end
----
And i slowly turn the pages
will you read that part again
the part about the dragons
and how they win in the end
----
----
breathe slow now
think deeper thoughts
go find your horizon
i am here to watch
