Love Her Again
02:36
|
|||
|
Think I don’t love her anymore
But i mustn’t tell her till I’m sure
‘Cause if I tell her now it will break her heart
And she will cry and I will start
To love her again
Seeing her like that in so much pain
I would love her again
I don’t want to love her again
I do not want more of the same thing
I make a sacrifice but it’s not enough
She thinks she’s always right
When it comes to us
But it isn’t like what it was before
I think I don’t love her anymore
Love her again
I don’t want to love her again
I can’t go back there again
Love her again, I don’t want to love her again
Please don’t take me there again
Last night she beat me on the chest
But I was strong, I didn’t say anything
Lucky for me she didn’t cry
Though I could see the hatred in her eyes
But I just laughed ‘cause it didn’t hurt
I didn’t let it out, didn’t say a word
‘Cause if I tell her now it will break her heart
And she will cry and I will start
To love her again
Seeing her like that in so much pain
I would love her again
I don’t want to love her again
No I don’t want to love her again

Cash Out
03:09

|
The faith you have in daddy
Was something that he never had
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you to cash out
The things we took for granted
Were granted to no one else
When the judgments landed I saw the morning
My sleeping little angel
We’ve been sleeping for too long
But I’m honored to be the one to wake you
Cash out cash out cash out
Cash out cash out cash out
The only way out is to go through
I said the only way out is to go through
And I’d like to be the one to take you
Cash out cash out cash out
Cash out cash out cash out
The things we took for granted
Were granted to no one else
When the judgments landed I saw the morning
Cash out cash out cash out
Cash out cash out cash out
Cash out cash out cash out
Cash out

Supermartyr
03:21

|
As soon as you arrive you’re planning your getaway
As soon as you arrive you’re planning your getaway
You’re hobbling on your favorite ball and chain
Virtue is just repression waiting to go bad
I said virtue is just repression waiting to go bad
So you say you’re just a warm-blooded lad
Oh you bore me so, go rip that M off your chest
And wave goodbye to the sorrows
For you are destined to be a lover in this life
The Lord he gave you two feet for walkin’
The Lord he gave you two feet for walkin’
He showed you how but you were busy talkin’
Oh you bore me so, go rip that M off your chest
And wave goodbye to the sorrows
For you are destined to be a lover in this life
You bore me so, go rip that M off your chest
And wave goodbye to the sorrows
For you are destined to be a lover, destined to be a lover
Destined to be a lover in this life

Fairyland
03:22
|
|||
|
Don’t tell me you love me if you can’t show me
Don’t try to appease me
I know you know how to please me
Life is not a fairyland
You’ve got too many questions
If you keep on like this you’ll never get an answer
Time to let go came and went but still i held on tight
Until the clearest message sent arrived in my blackest night
I didn’t know but I should have seen
I didn’t see but I should have known
My precious bruised and torn
My fabulous weathered and worn
Life is not a fairyland
Don’t tell me you love me if you can’t show me

Do I make you happy
Do I make you smile
When the world is falling through the sky
And though the planets chase around and around
Will they be there when you’re down
Do you like my body
Like i love yours
Have you ever felt this way before
And though the sun is full of holes
It’ll be there when you’re cold
Your shell has made you weak
It shieds you from the sun
Your shell has made you weak
This love will make you strong
Do i write you letters while i’m away
When june starts slipping back to may
And though the sun has lost its shine
It’ll be there every time
Your shell had made you weak
It shields you from the sun
Your shell has made you weak
This love will make you strong
This love will make you strong….

Inside Song
02:28
|
|||
|
You’re telling me a story again
And my inside song begins
Only I can hear the words
They run alongside yours
Maybe you’ll see
Your mouth moves but your eyes melt mine
And my inside song remains
On and on you’re talking to me
But I don’t hear, ‘cause I’m silently singing
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful, beautiful
You’re beautiful
And my voice drowns yours
And I smile at your mouthful of words
‘Cause I’m not listening
All I can hear is my inside voice
Whispering you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful, beautiful
You’re beautiful, beautiful
You’re beautiful

And Now She Loves Me
03:50
|
|||
|
And now she loves me
The world is still the same
The Mississippi river doesn’t go to Spain
The wall of China doesn’t lead to Rome
And the girls of Argentina don’t live in Barcelone
And now she loves me
I’ve still got work to do
There’s a hundred thousand people on the avenue
And none of them have faces and none of them have souls
But she says I’m gonna make it and I wonder how she knows
She loves me when it’s cold outside
She love me when the summer comes
She’ll love me on a desert night
She love me in the morning
And ever when she’s angry I know she’ll apologize
She’ll tell me that she’s sorry with those sweet tears in her eyes
And now she loves me
I’m as I was before
The same old disappointments, now I blame them all on her
And the world is just as ugly and just as beautiful
Still I’m happy that she’s with me to give some meaning to it all

One Too Many Goodbyes
03:46
|
|||
|
When I disappointed you did your heart break?
Because you wanted more from me
Or were you just turned off by my dishonesty?
Whatever it was I apologize
Whatever it was I’ve been cut down to size
When i ran away did you miss me?
Or were you relieved
To be free of all the lies you wanted to believe?
Whatever it was I’ve been cut down to size
Whatever it was it was one too many goodbyes
I won’t be back but I won’t forget
Instead of running back for more
I’ll stay away out of respect
I won’t come knocking at your door
Whatever it was, whatever it was
Whatever it was, whatever it was
Whatever it was I apologize
Whatever it was I’ve been cut down to size
Whatever it was I did not realize
Whatever it was it was one too many goodbyes

Lover
03:58
|
|||
|
You smile the sun on my face
I take you with me anyplace
Your voice on the phone
Soothes and stirs me
Elsewhere i roam
And you accompany
As the breeze
Sweet sweet lover
You precious magic
You sun you moon
You lovely mess
You song, you symphony
Ocean of sensuality
Life will carry us in its arms
You are not an ideal,
You are real
Swimming on the sky of your breast
My love I have come to rest
Sweet sweet lover
You precious magic
You sun you moon
You lovely mess
You song, you symphony
Ocean of sensuality
Life will carry us in its arms
Sweet sweet lover
You precious magic
You sun you moon
You lovely mess
You song, you symphony
Ocean of sensuality
Life will carry us in its arms
in its arms
in its arms
in its arms

There is a silence between us
Deep as the soul
Sturdy as stars
Gulf of the intended and possible
Wordless
Not dark, not light
But pure in its flight
From the preconceived
We talk, we talk
We walk through our days
Dancing sidelong the precipice
Begging for the quiet to lift and toss us
Blindly
Into grace

Time to let go came and went but still i held on tight
Until the clearest message sent arrived in my blackest night
I didn’t know but I should have seen
I didn’t see but I should have known
My precious bruised and torn
My fabulous weathered and worn
Life is not a fairyland
Don’t tell me you love me if you can’t show me
