I expect some more anticipation I expect some more of an explanation I expect you to come back to me and do it My way, my way, yeah I expect your full participation They say it’s the journey not the destination I expect you to come back to me I defy you to wait and see I expect you to come back to me, and do it My way, my way, yeah You can consider it your invitation It will serve as your oblation I hope that you to come back to me I defy you to wait and see I expect you to come back to me, and do it My way, my way I hope that you to come back to me I defy you to wait and see I expect you to come back to me, and do it My way

White Lies 04:23

Don’t tell me your white lies Don’t tell me this is paradise Start your engines, run for cover, Burn your bridges, don’t love another Don’t tell me your white, white lies I will shake you I will break you I will be forever yours Live forever, stop at nothing, I’m so lonely, can’t have something Don’t tell me your white, white lies Don’t tell me your white lies Don’t tell me your white lies I will tend you And defend you I will be forever true Will you miss me When you’re happy I will run away with you I will brace you and embrace you We will hold each other tight Will we regret things that we said? Surely things will be alright Don’t tell me your white lies Don’t tell me this is paradise Don’t tell me your white lies Don’t tell me your white lies

If Your Days Are Numbered 03:30
lyrics
buy track
If your days are numbered or they’re full of doubt You’ve probably been wondering and trying to figure out Why there’s so much distance caught between Your dreams and where you find yourself (again and again) Listen to your body and listen to your mom I think she knows you better than anyone She taught you how to dress yourself; she Taught you what’s important and what’s not so much (time and again) Suddenly, it’s all too much Lo-lo-lo If and when your days are numbered Hold me close and pull me under If you ever cannot find me, Close your eyes and just think of me When your mind is wandering and picking Through the haze You’ve probably been thinking about those Better days and why there’s still that distance Left between your dreams and where you see yourself (now to the end) Suddenly, it’s not enough Lo-lo-lo If and when your days are numbered Hold me close and pull me under If you ever cannot find me, Close your eyes and just breathe If and when your days are numbered Hold me close and pull me under If you ever cannot find me, Close your eyes and just breathe If and when your days are numbered Hold me close and pull me under If and when your days are numbered Hold me close and pull me under

I was walking down the street (I fell) And I tripped on a stone (I fell) And you picked me up (I fell for you) Even though I was left alone (I fell for you) I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up No one ever looks at me in class I feel like I’m behind a glass No one ever looks at me me in class Staring at each other is for fun But you are the one Staring at each other is for fun, yeah I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up I bought tickets to a baseball game But guess who came I bought tickets to a baseball game When the home team hits the home run I know for sure, I know you are the one When the home team hits the home run, yeah I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up I fell for you and you picked me up It felt like sunrise when you touched me I fell for you and you picked me up

Blind Spot 03:42
lyrics

You were my blind spot, I didn’t see you coming Til you were already on your way You’re my affliction, attraction, my crazy-lover-action You turn darkest night into brightest day I don’t wanna leave you lonely I never wanna leave you at all You were my blind spot, you were my blind spot You were my blind spot, blind spot, blind spot One quick glance in the side-view mirror Made me think that the coast was clear Turns out you were just outside my view I don’t wanna leave you lonely I never wanna leave you at all You were my blind spot, you were my blind spot You were my blind spot, blind spot, blind spot One moment of hesitation I swerved to the side in concentration And you were there, I crashed right into you You were my blind spot, I didn’t see you coming Til you were already on the move You’re my obsession, depression, elation, deflation You turned bitter sadness to constant love (solution, absolution, addiction, conscription) I don’t wanna leave you hanging I never wanna leave you at all You were my blind spot, you were my blind spot You were my blind spot, blind spot, blind spot I don’t wanna leave you crying I never wanna leave you at all I don’t wanna leave you broken I never wanna leave you at all I don’t wanna leave you ever I never wanna leave you at all You were my blind spot, you were my blind spot You were my blind spot, blind spot, blind spot

Blue Blue Blue 02:33
lyrics

I see a blue, blue, blue time coming It’s been there all summer long I didn’t know it was coming Until two days ago I guess I seem alright to you But you should know that that’s not true All summer I thought we were okay But something happened just the other day I see a blue, blue, blue time coming I thought our love was so strong A blue, blue, blue time’s coming How could you do me so wrong? You called me up and brought me down Changed my perceptions all around I parsed our conversations in my head And finally realized exactly what you said I see a blue, blue, blue time coming It’s been there for so long A blue, blue, blue time’s coming I thought our love was so strong. The summer started out like this I never wanted for your kiss But then you faded like the evening sun Before I knew it you were gone I see a blue, blue, blue time coming I thought our love would carry us on I didn’t know it was coming But you were already gone I see a blue, blue, blue time coming It’s been there all summer long I didn’t know it was coming Til you were already gone You were already gone You were already gone You were already gone

How Do I Get Through The Day? 03:01
lyrics

How do I get through the day when everything is not okay? My boss is cruel and I’m a fool cuz I think I will get away. How do I get through the night when everything is not alright? My nervous and my anxious side keeps my poor eyes open wide. I don’t know how I make it through the day I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know how I make it through the day when I’m away from you It happens every day of the year I get home and have me a beer My wife is deep in a comatose sleep So I sit down and watch her snore At least one day of my life I want to be with my wife She’ll take care of me okay But first I must get through this day I don’t know how I make it through the day I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know how I make it through the day When I’m away from you I don’t know how I make it through the day I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know how I make it through the day When I’m away from you I don’t know how I make it through the day I don’t know what, I don’t know what to do I don’t know how I make it through the day When I’m away from you

Heartache 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Our lives are broken When words are spoken, spoken Illusions battered The windows shattered, shattered What does it matter? I can’t hear a sound, when there’s water coming down And the newspapers talk about heartache There’s gas in the car to take me to where you are Take me to where you are Beyond the window Expectations dwindle, dwindle Imagine mistakes Rejection, heartache, heartache Like an earthquake I can’t feel a thing, numbness follows sting And the bloggers, they write about heartache Add fuel to the fire, take me to where you are I wanna be where you are

All of the Above 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Long legs and flip flops on All the better to catch the sun Long hair of deepest brown, baseball cap can’t hold it down Pretty eyes with playful glint Show someone should take the hint Sweet smile, the whole shebang, that’s what it’s all about, love By the time you arrived I was already waiting By the time you sat down I forgot what I was saying All of the above, love All of the above, love You’re all of the above, love Red lips as you read The poem you wrote just for me The way you move down a crowded street, always keeping an invisible beat Sweet kiss in the dark Always comes straight from the heart Slow motion shivering, that’s what it’s all about, love By the time you arrived I was already waiting But I can’t choose just A, B, or C All of the above, love All of the above, love You’re all of the above, love Long legs and flip flops on The way you groove when hip hop’s on The way you lean back, close your eyes, and worship the sun, everything about you All of the above, love I can’t pick just one, love All of the above, love, love, love All of the above, love Don’t make me choose just one, love All of the above, love, love, love All of the above, love All of the above, love All of the above, love, love, love

Grandmother, Grandmother, why you disrespecting me? We’re all family, I’m tired of this enmity I get the funny feeling that you don’t really love me Grandmother, Grandmother Grandmother, Grandmother, why are you so very mean?

It’s a travesty How you berate me endlessly and insult me so stupendously Hours and hours and hours go by, time flies my inspiration dies How’d you get to be so notorious, you’re vainglorious and laborious, that’s not how the story goes Grandmother, Grandmother Grandmother, Grandmother, why you disrespecting me? We’re family, everybody knows that and you should too So why you picking on me when I’m just playing it true Grandmother, Grandmother Grandmother, Grandmother, why you so mean Grandmother, Gram you’re a mean, angry queen Grandmother, Grandmother you so rude Grandmother, Gram you’re a real bad dude Grandmother, Grandmother, why you so mean Grandmother, Gram you’re a mean, angry queen Grandmother, Grandmother you so rude Grandmother, Gram you’re a real bad dude Grandmother, Grandmother, Grandmother, Grandmother, oh
