CAROLINA
Carolina I can’t let you go
No matter how I try
But if it’s over now then just say so
You don’t have to tell me why
But I’m feeling out of place
You spun me ‘round and you dragged me down
And you’re gone without a trace
Solitude now it can fill you up
With the echoes of lost time
Drinking cheap wine from a Dixie Cup
As the past starts to unwind
Now I see what you mean to me
But I’m feeling out of place
You spun me ‘round and you dragged me down
And you’re gone without a trace
And all the world’s a hollow space
Carolina I can’t let you go...
UNCOUPLING
When you arrived you were in style
With your charm and with your smile
We were bound to fall
Our angel from above
Like the bard we fell in love
You just seemed to have it all
But time it flies my friend and it seems we’ve reached the end
Can’t take it anymore
When you tell us where you go,…who you’re with, who you know
We’re so tired… Just so tired of having you around
Our love was so whole-hearted
But now I fear we’re through…
Uncoupling can be the hardest thing to do
I wish it wasn’t true
Tell us how we’re s’posed to be
All the things we need to see
Your favorite place in spain?
Show us all that we could get
If we weren’t so deep in debt
How’s life in your skyplane?
Living your ambition - Perfection’s such affliction
Kinda makes us feel small
It’s a SNAP to spend your time, elucidate us on fine wine
When we’re just tryin’, we’re just tryin’ to make it thru the day
Back when we started
Our love was so whole-hearted
But now I fear we’re through…
Uncoupling can be the hardest thing to do
Comment Allez Vous?
It must cause you such consternation
We pepper you with indignation
Every time you try… To show us the perfect day…. Our better angels fly away
Back when we started
Our love was so whole-hearted
But now I fear we’re through…
Uncoupling can be the hardest thing it’s true
Tell us what what to do? To do? To do? Yeah yeah yeah…
Tell us what are we to do??
KILLING TIME
Sunday morning she’s been up all night
Driving home trying to beat the light
Thinking about all the things she will say
Summer Sunday it’s a losing bet
When you know it hasn’t happened yet
What makes you think it’s gonna happen today?
Is it a chemical reaction that makes you feel this way?
Some kind of physical attraction to a place that you can’t stay
It’s a gift, and it’s your burden so it should come as no surprise
That when it’s time to beg forgiveness you’re still looking for an alibi
Losing control at the end of the day
Killing Time is easy soaking up the scenery ‘til you’re wastin’ away
Forget all you know surrender your pride
Killing Time is easy but you’re holding the key if you’re willing to try
With every heart that you destroy
Comparison is the death of joy
Thinking about all the games that you play
It’s a habit that you just can’t break
It’s a feeling that you just can’t fake
Yeah, it’s real but that don’t make it OK.

Killing Time is easy soaking up the scenery ‘til you’re wastin’ away
Forget all you know surrender your pride
Killing Time is easy but you’re holding the key if you’re willing to try
Tell the truth, what ya come here for?
Take it all then take a little bit more
It’s all the same and it’s bringing me down
CAUGHT IN BETWEEN
What if you laugh to mask the sorrow
What if you sleepwalk through the day
What if you changed your ways tomorrow?
Could you get by another way?
You’re caught in between all the colours you’ve seen
And the wine goes straight to your head
You wrestle with dreams tell me what do they mean when ya’
Wake up in a strange bed
Yesterday’s scars have left you reeling
Let it all go, live today
Maybe you’ll find another feeling
Maybe it all will fade away
You’re caught in between all the colours you’ve seen
And the wine goes straight to your head
You wrestle with dreams tell me what do they mean when ya’
Wake up in a strange bed
And you’re never learn
Watch it all burn til the embers float away
Now come down…
SERENADE THE SILENCE
Searching for the answer but there’s nothing there to find
You can cut away the cancer but the scars are left behind
I know just where you’re coming from, yeah I see your point of view
Go on and serenade the silence like you do
He’s been out there on the road, seems to long
The yellow line is home
Heard ya’ say, sometimes the dream is the only thing that’s real
I know exactly how ya’ feel
Searching for the answer but there’s nothing there to find
You can cut away the cancer but the scars are left behind
I know just where you’re coming from, yeah I see your point of view
Go on and serenade the silence like you do
Cause we both know he ain’t coming home to you
Searching for the answer but there’s nothing there to find
You can cut away the cancer but the scars are left behind
I know just where you’re coming from, yeah I see your point of view
Go on and serenade the silence Baby Blue
Cause we both know he ain’t coming home to you
FADE TO WHITE
She doesn’t call you much anymore
She needs some time alone
Never meant to let you so deep inside
Now she’s heading home
And she lives for today
Tomorrow might be too late
She’s running away
When she fades to white turn away
You know you’ll miss her in your selfish way
The laughter in her eyes
And will time absolve me, am I so cliche
Just another to despise
She lives for today
Tomorrow might be too late
She’s running away
When she fades to white turn away
Why should I even try if I can’t save myself
If I don’t love myself anymore?
Though I can read between her lines
Just don’t want to say goodbye
Bye bye.
Now she’s poised to fall
She lives for today
Tomorrow might be too late
She’s running away
When she fades to white turn away
IT’S OK
Another sunny day, they all feel the same
When what you’re looking for gets lost inside the game
Repeat a lie enough, and it becomes the truth
‘Til the curtain falls away and you’ve wasted all your youth
When you lead me on do you feel the shame
Of what you have become, it seems so insane
So I’m leaving tomorrow
Though the stars are all I have to light the way
I’m leaving tomorrow
The stars are all I have and It’s OK
Can you say you love me?
Will you say you love me?
Don’t say you love me
You’ve know what you need, and you know what you want
Or so you’d have me think, but no what have you got?
Then I see you there lying on the floor and you you know you cannot hide
That you’ve been there before
Soon this will all end and time will pass you by
When you reach for me I’ll be waving goodbye
‘Cause I’m leaving tomorrow
Though the stars are all I have to light the way
I’m leaving tomorrow
The stars are all I have and It’s OK
Can you say you love me?
Will you say you love me?
Don’t say you love me
‘Cause I’m leaving tomorrow
Though the stars are all I have to light the way
I’m leaving tomorrow
The stars are all I have and It’s OK
You say you love me, but the stars are all I have today
Can you say you love me?
Will you say you love me?
Don’t say you love me
NO ONE BELIEVES HER
Gimme a call, cause I want it all, get me away from here
Got her chakras aligned, time to get redefined, she ain’t waiting another year
She’ll step right over you, if it’s what she must do, yeah she’s making it real clear
And if the feeling is right, maybe tonight she’ll blow you away
So she cries at night
From the darkness until the light
Doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
No one believes her they all wanna please her
So it begins, the sooner you let her in the sooner she’ll let you down
Free your soul from your mind, let your spirit unwind, there’s salvation to be found
But you can’t let it go even with all you know, you’re addicted to the sound
And if you give up the fight maybe tonight she’ll blow you away
So she cries at night
From the darkness until the light
And you don’t know what’s going on
Just gotta make it ‘til dawn
Now the morning is drawing near
Beg the world to disappear
You know it’s her only fear
No one believes her they all wanna please her
Ready to go, time for the show, then let’s get outta here
It’s not hard to forget, burn down all the regret, she ain’t shedding a single tear
To the past we are chained, the future’s ordained, it’s an illusion to disappear
But if the feeling is right maybe tonight she’ll blow you away.
So she cries at night
(When ya’ know you really need it)
From the darkness until the light(You never can achieve it)
And you don’t know what’s going on(And it all starts slipping away)
Just gotta make it ‘til dawn(Hey hey!)
Now the morning is drawing near(The edge of terror and attraction)
Beg the world to disappear(Illicit fear is satisfaction)
You know it’s her only fear(It catalyses the reaction)
No one believes her they all wanna please herPRETTY DILEMMA
Why don’t you come over
So I can see you bathed in the summer’s sky
Take a drive to the ocean
Taste the sea air and count the reasons why
You left me so broken
When I thought that I had a friend in you
Pretty Dilemma has spoken
But I just couldn’t believe those words were true
What don’t you come over?
