LYRICS: 

 
"Kiss Me"

I want you to know
That I won't ever go away without you
At least in my heart you'll always be right here by me side
I close my eyes and I can almost feel you kiss me

I wait for your touch
That seems to matter so much to get me through the day
When your on my mind I know that you'll never leave me
And I close my eyes and I can almost feel you kiss me

[chorus] I can always see you when you're not there
And I hear your voice in every song I hear
No matter where you are you're not where I can see
No matter where you are I can almost feel you kiss me

I look in your eyes
And I, I realize that maybe someday
You will be out of reach but you'll always be
Close enough that I, I can almost feel you kiss 

[chorus]

"Turn You Around"

Dark the heart of the disenchanted
Gold the color of all youth
One windswept shadow
Seeks a flower in a meadow
For quiet walks and a love of truth

Leave it up to me
And I will turn you around

Dead the marriage I’m involved in
No fruity drink will wash it by
One stoic dreamer
Seeks a horizontal screamer
Wanna-bees need not apply

Leave it up to me
And I will turn you around

"Without"

Alone again, as I often am
Candles burn slowly at both ends
Who am I? Why am I here?
Can I learn to overcome this fear?

Or will it cripple me, the way it’s crippled you?
Just one simple thing is all I beg of you

And I laugh sometimes, though it’s more infrequently
And I still love, but now it’s everything but me
So let’s discuss the greater scheme of things
Life itself, and the pain it brings

Well it’s too much for me, 
Is it too much for you? 
Guess a change of scene is so long overdue

She checks her watch, and she dries her eyes
Tells me it ain’t that great to be alive
And I must agree with her…

And everyone believes in destiny
While fate she laughs in silent apathy
And now I see it all so clearly
The world turns with or without me

She checks her watch, and she dries her eyes
Tells me it ain’t that great to be alive
And I must agree with her…

"Someone on the Side"

Baby, baby, baby
You know my hands are tied
And seeing you sweet baby
Sends me on a ride
If I can’t have you baby
Be the one who you confide
If I can’t be your everything
I’ll be your someone one the side

Baby, baby, baby
Gimme seconds to explain
I just see you smiling
And I’m stricken with love’s pain
Baby, baby, baby
I’m a sellout with no pride
And if I can’t be your only one
I’ll be your someone one the side

Baby, baby, baby
I’m giving muir and frankincense
Listen to me closely 
It’s gonna all make sense
Baby, baby, baby
I don’t wanna be your bride
Just a few encounters 
I’ll be your someone on the side

"Maybe She Will"

Maybe she will forgive you for all 
The times you betrayed her trust
Maybe she likes the rain, but can’t accept the rust

Maybe she’s just waiting for you 
And maybe this isn’t something 
She wants to get used to

So don’t let her go
‘Cause she loves you still
Ask her to stay…
And maybe she will

Maybe she’s unhappy because of 
The things that you didn’t do
Maybe she just wants to be loved
The way that she loves you

Maybe she’s tired of holding your hand
And maybe this isn’t something 
You were meant to understand

And I know it’s not entirely your fault
But this ain’t about who’s to blame
The more time you wait
The less time remains

BACK TO TOP

 

"Day to Day"

She looks in the mirror
She questions herself 
And the pain she is holding deep in her soul
She’s looking for answers
But the questions aren’t clear
And all her illusions won’t disappear

And she’s waiting for someone
Who will take her away
And she’s screaming for someone to speak
The words that she can’t say
‘Cause she lives her life from day, to day

There’s lunches to make
And laundry to fold
She tries to remember when she got so old,
She’ll see her reflection
And she’ll practice her smile
And sweep her whole life into a little pile,

And she’s talking to herself
‘Cause she’s lost the will to pray
And she won’t think about the month ahead
And the bills that she can’t pay
‘Cause she lives her life from day…

Today she saw a homeless man
And she didn’t have a penny to pay
Scared she might be like him soon
On the street in the same way

And she’s waiting for someone
Who will take her away
So she won’t think about the month ahead
And the bills that she can’t pay
‘Cause she lives her life from day, to day

"Windows Down"

She wasn’t much to look at; there was never much to see
And she didn’t always get me from point A to point B
And she spent more time at the station than she ever spent with me
Well her cruise control broke long ago, her heater never worked to well
But she was always there to pick me up anytime that I fell
And I told her all my secrets cause I knew she’d never tell

Well I miss the nights we used to waste, my Pontiac and me
When all I’d ever do is drive around
With all the windows down, with all the windows down

Anytime I fell asleep she would gladly steer
And my objects in her mirror are closer than they appear
And I always got home safely when I’d had too many beers

Well I miss the nights we used to waste, my Pontiac and me
When all I’d ever do is drive around
With all the windows down, with all the windows down
With all the windows down, with all the windows down

I miss her smile, I miss her dented fender, I can’t explain 
The jealousy I feel knowing someone I don’t know is behind the wheel

Well I miss the nights we used to waste, my Pontiac and me
When all I’d ever do is drive around
With all the windows down, with all the windows down

When all I’d ever do is drive around
With all the windows down, with all the windows down
With all the windows down, with all the windows down

"Let You Down"

Now I hope you don’t expect to stay with me,
‘Cause you know I’m only gonna let you down

Sweet fall, recalling the wind on my shadow and all
Drunk on the bare moon
I see, I’m no good for you now
Nor will I ever be, the one that you want to be

Now I hope you don’t expect to stay with me,
‘Cause you know I’m only gonna let you down

Exhale, exploring myself in a way that you want
I lay in the darkness empty
There’s no words to explain
I’m free as your words and you’ll never catch me

Now I hope you don’t expect to stay with me,
‘Cause you know I’m only gonna let you down

I had a dream last night
A premonition of you
Even in sleep it’s not right
I found myself away from you

"What You Wanted"

I believe that you could see the forest 
If they’re weren’t so many trees
I believe that you would be forgiven 
If you’d just get off of your knees

If everything has a place and time
Our time together is through
And when I’m gone you can
Do what you wanted, baby
Do what you wanted to do

I believe that we could have a future
If you’d just let go of the past
And I would stay at your side forever
If you just had the courage to ask

If everything has a place and time
Our time together is through
And when I’m gone you can
Do what you wanted, baby
Do what you wanted to do

"Here With Me"

Got my heart on my sleeve
And it need laundering 
And this heart is starting to swell
From too much wondering

I watch as the world spins around
You walk down the stairs and all is quiet

Your voice you haven’t spoke
But silence completes you
And your eyes, your beautiful eyes
I kneel and I kiss you

I forgot what point I just knew
And I would do all I had to

You’re the ocean
I’m at sea
You’re everything
And I want you here with me

The sky looks perfect tonight
So maybe I’ll just hold you
Love your hair, the way it curls
I’m sure that I told you

"Different Kind (of Girl)"

As a little girl I thought 
The world was made for me
A private fortress, protected easily 
Confident, confused, 
And yet always feeling strange
I knew to be myself 
The world would have to change

Why can’t they understand?
This is not what I had planned

I come from a different time
I am a different kind of girl

Suffering the judgments 
Based on other people’s fear
The world’s a jury 
Not constructed of my peers
Standing alone outside of all that I held true
I learned to be myself 
This world would never do

I want them to hear my voice
‘Cause my life was not a “choice”
