forgive me if i drive you crazy
forgive me if you can't make sense of me
you really wouldn't want it any other way
you can't tie me down to a timetable
I'm so damned unpredictable
and when I come you're never sure I'm gonna stay....

Beautiful

we could
could have been beautiful
I'd always hoped for better
we
entered a state of war
I had no choice but to surrender....

We're Okay

standing on the corner
waiting for an angel-train
or some other much-needed lift to a higher plane
i wasn't looking
while I was waiting
and that's where you found me
in the grey light of day
all the clouds fell away
i felt the sun in my eyes
for the first time in a long time
and I honestly say
that if the only thing I do for you today
is make you smile like I smiled, then
we're okay....

All That Glitters
02:35
|
|||
|
when I look back and see your face
I don't wanna cry
strength and affirmation - I'll owe it all to you
I don't wanna be forever asking "why?"
and I know this situation's still so tight and new
but like the lions are drawn to the sunset
I will bathe in the light of your smile
and when they roar at the onset of darkness
I will be
softly seeking all that glitters in your eyes....

Distance
04:58
|
|||
|
distance makes a heart grow stronger
but I can't wait here, any longer
these walls you build - you build them well
now I'm falling all the way to hell
you said you didn't mean to let me down
pure inaction is the only way to drown.....

While Angels Pray
04:02
|
|||
|
from dusk to dawn there's a curfew here
I know what the people fear
but I ain't going anywhere anyway
I finally found where I belong
my heart is singing it's own song
and something this good can't be wrong
so here I'll stay
hold me here in your arms
we'll keep each other safe from harm
and you're the only good luck charm I need anyway....

Any Day Now
04:16
|
|||
|
any day now I'm gonna walk out of that door
I'm gonna walk out in the desert
I can't do this anymore
any day now I'm gonna step up to the board
I'm gonna go and face my demons
I know they're waiting for me....

You Should Know
04:08
|
|||
|
you should know you stand out from the crowd
you don't even have to talk that loud
still, I am forced to notice you
I just want to let you lead this dance
I'm captured by your spell, I'm in a trance
a poor, charmed creature of romance.....
