On a Tuesday in December,
When you walked out I remember. You were smiling as you turned around, In the hallway, you lingered in the doorway. And still the words you said to me, make me think of how we used to be. Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned. She said, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me. In the back room of a mansion, You are planning your deception. Always calling, never phoning. I'm a victim of another's war. And still the words you said to me, Come ringing in your silent symphony. Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned. She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me. And still it hurt so bad, (I thought I'd get one over on you), You know, I hope you're sad, (you deserve it more than anyone). I could give you one good reason. You could be my winning season. All the things we could have been, just fell away. Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned. She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me. I get so burned when you are close to me. |

You're a long walk in a rain storm
You're a cut that refuses to heal You're a dull ache that I can't shake You're a cold that's clogging up my head Or a broke watch keeping time still Till you pull me in pull me in And I can't fight If the night is cold And you're feeling old And the morning cuts you Like a knife And you're wearing thin Feel you're giving in In the darkest hour of the night You find daylight You're a stalled car in the desert You're a song I can't get off my mind And in a dire strait With no hope at all in sight You come rushing in rushing in With a lifeline If the night is cold And you're feeling old And the morning cuts you Like a knife And you're wearing thin Feel you're giving in In the darkest hour of the night You find daylight Pull me closer to your breast I need you finally I confess I'm drifting I'm drifting I love you but I hate you too God only knows what I could do I'm drifting I'm drifting Come on give me one reason Come on find me in daylight Come on give me one reason Come on find me in daylight If the night is cold And you're feeling old And the morning cuts you Like a knife And you're wearing thin Feel you're giving in In the darkest hour of the night You find daylight You'll find daylight |

Girl, your daddy's knocking on your door
I hear your footsteps on the floor to me Stumbling back to your room Pain it is a thing I can't explain I only feel it when you go away I'm waiting for you to return Don't fight it if it feels good (Don't fight it girl) You hide it but you never should (Don't hide) Don't listen to voices in your head What are you and me but monkeys in a tree? It's only natural Na-na-na-na natural Hey, I know your mother's off at work You say your daddy's such a jerk to you Why can't they just all fade away Girl, is that the way it's going to be? I'm only happy when you're down on me You can be my honeybee Don't fight it if it feels good (Don't fight it girl) You hide it but you never should (Don't hide it) Don't listen to voices in your head What are you and me but monkeys in a tree? It's only natural Na-na-na-na natural Don't fight it if it feels good (Don't fight it girl) You hide it but you never should (Don't hide) Don't listen to voices in your head What are you and me but monkeys in a tree? It's only natural It's only natural It's only natural Na-na-na-na natural (don't fight it girl) It's only natural (don't hide it) Is it the colour of your hair? Is it the silly way you stare? (don't fight it girl) It's only natural Na-na-na-na natural |

north light comes uninvited
through the window to where you lie disjointed, dust and silence quite at a loss CHORUS: i feel strange i feel changed i feel strange.....overcome...overcome by you i fell in too deep but i learned to swim in an undertow since i'm giving in i feel strange i feel changed i feel strange...overcome...overcome I'm a little bit wiser, I'm a little bit sadder I'm a little bit less, you might have guessed But if you could be staying Tell me now, darlin', I think I'm fading I swear I'll never trade your love for a lie (CHORUS) (overcome..overcome... sometimes it helps me to give it up in some ways you're never gonna get it some nights i feel i'm gonna give it sunlight...every night overcome...overcome) ...hold still, come on and save me ...hold still, come on and let me ...hold still come on again... ...hold still, come on and let me ...hold still, come on and let me |

Are you real?
Are you real or just a dream? It's been so long I don't know. I can feel, I can feel you with me now, Even though you're far away. And some are special, come back, racing through your mind. You are special; your light, your heat will never die. I was lost. I was lost and I found you. I will know no further love. People move, come in close, and fall away. Your love, you refuse to fade. And some are special, Come back racing through your mind. You are special; Your light, your heat will never die. So regretful. How could I ever be so blind? You are special. I thought I'd never lose my mind. I was pulling far away; you were begging me to stay, and I thought I was losing you. Funny how the opposite was true. Real enough, whole enough, I'd settle for a lie. Some are special, come back racing through your mind. You are special; your light your heat, will never die. So regretful. How could I ever be so blind? You are special. I thought I'd never lose my mind. |

We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you And I could have spent a life with you But those days were over You were calling my name when your face faded from view And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day And wasn't it you who told me: Angels fly in the air tonight Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake? And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night? I remember waking up with you The days doing nothing You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew. But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star A poet at a Nobel seminar I hope the world never tore that out of you Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day Yeah wasn't it you who told me: Angels fly in the air tonight Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake? And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night? And what ever happened to the things you loved And the songs we played, and the indian days Whatever happened to the things you gave away? Like Harold and Maude singing Like Harold and Maude singing I was waving as you drove away The sunlight was falling You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane Angels fly in the air tonight Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake? And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night? |

Well they say your life was marked
And you were wondering if it would ever start Stop Sunlight on a razor blade Three different souls And the lives they made I grew up in the 80's In the pallisades I was listening to Devo And everybody catered to their needs All voted most likely to succeed Holly came out And Billy got paid But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid All my rage Sits inside When even the finest things Are leaving you hollow And all my days Left behind And even the finest things Are leaving you hollow Cut to an interior view Holly married well but so did you One was black one was blue I was watching the days go by Could you be seen in a silly dream Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine Holly got her GED living in maternity Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost All my rage Sits inside When even the finest things Are leaving you hollow And all my days Left behind And even the finest things Are leaving you hollow And the sky is blue And so are you Mary takes a drag off a cigarette And the stereo is coming up behind her Like she needs someone to remind her That life is richer in a minor key Bill and Holly disagree But I don't think so All my rage Sits inside When even the finest things Are leaving you hollow And all my days Left behind And even the finest things Are leaving you hollow Sunlight on a razor blade Three different souls and the lives they made Well Holly came out and Billy got paid But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid |

I am bending
Made of steel I am stumbling Towards something real How can you forget this feeling Of standing straight while the world is reeling? Don't leave me here alone You're as close as it gets to home Don't look down You might fall Life made rookies of us all In our finest year Don't wait up We'll be fine Somehow we might get it right In our finest year I am hopeful Full of doubt And I am trying to work this whole thing out So how can you just sit there sleeping When your worlds on fire And your chest is beating? And I want to think you feel the same Don't look down You might fall Life made rookies of us all In our finest year Don't wait up We'll be fine Somehow we might get it right In our finest year In this moment While you're breathing If the future leaves you needing Will you be the one who stayed? As your life just slipped away? Don't leave me here alone You're as close as it gets to home I'll be there if you fall Love made suckers of us all Don't look down You might fall Life made rookies of us all In our finest year Don't wait up We'll be fine Somehow we might get it right In our finest year |

Here you are now
Fresh from your war Back from the edge of time And all that you were, Stripped to the bone I thought youd want to know That when you feel the world is crashing All around your feet Come running headlong into my arms Breathless I'll never judge you I can only love you Come now running headlong Into my arms Breathless Lay down your guns Too weak to run Nothing can harm you here Your precious heart Broken and scarred Somehow you made it through I only ask that you won't go again When you feel the world is crashing All around your feet Come running headlong into my arms Breathless I'll never judge you I can only love you Come now running headlong Into my arms Breathless So glad to see you smiling So good to hear your laugh I think that you've found you even Missed yourself I'm only asking this because I think that Truth be told Oh, you'll never go again Again When you feel the world is crashing All around your feet Come running headlong into my arms Breathless I'll never judge you I can only love you Come now running headlong Into my arms Breathless Breathless |
