Deeply

So I wait
What am I s’posed to do?
Sit around like a little kid so someone can complete my jigsaw
So why do I feel bitter
When I know the reasons why she left
And I knew that she would have to go
And I think myself asleep at night
And spend my time alone
I know she’s not waiting for me
And even if we tried to plan
We could not fight this twisted situation
If you look too deeply everything breaks your heart
Don’t let it tear your life apart
I know I’m wasting time for her and I know that it’s unreal
So I don’t tell her how I feel
I call her when she’s not around
And I hear her talk on her voice machine
But I never leave a message
I know that’s being clandestine
But if I had the guts I would leave her rhyme and song
Well I could sit and drink to understand
To make sense of it all
But why do it if she’s not waiting
And I’ve lost more things than she’s given me
But it doesn’t help this twisted situation
If you look too deeply everything breaks your heart
Don’t let it tear your life apart
I know I’m wasting time for her and I know that it’s unreal
So I don’t tell her how I feel
If you look too deeply everything breaks your heart
Don’t let it tear your life apart
I know I’m wasting time for her and I know that it’s unreal
So I don’t tell her how I feel

One on One
04:07

With the lights down low
You almost look like her
With my eyes closed
You almost feel like her
Cover me
Take it all off
All these cares
Take them all off
I want some one on one
Don’t wanna play no games
And it’s no fun
When you act strange
Wear these clothes
They were her style
Wear your hair that way
Smile that smile
Sugar me
Cos I’ve been sour
For so long
Sugar me.
I want some one on one
Don’t wanna play no games
And it’s no fun
When you act strange
(Trust me)
I want some one on one
Don’t wanna play no games
And it’s no fun
When you’re strange
You can trust me
(take me down low, where I can forget her
Take me down Way down low
With my eyes closed…..)

Wise
04:27
|

I stayed off the highway
Stayed in at night
Never talked to strangers
Or accepted their rides
I stayed out of trouble
Whenever I could
But I still took your poison
And it did me no good
Cos there was a time
I could have ended it all
And I was losing my mind
But you, you didn’t care at all
Dont be stupid or too wise
Learn to see their traps and lies
Always follow good advice
It won’t help you in your life
The minute I saw you
I knew I was lost
Like a child in a toy shop
Doesn’t know what he’s got
You were a fatal addiction
Eating me alive
I still stumbled towards you
Offering all I could give
Cause there was a time `
I could have ended it all
I was losing my mind
But you
You didn’t care at all
Dont be stupid or too wise
Learn to see their traps and lies
Always follow good advice
It won’t help you save your life
You you didn’t care at all
Dont be stupid or too wise
Learn to see their traps and lies
Always follow good advice
It won’t help you save your life

Beautiful Loser
04:07
|

She’s a beautiful loser
And I’m a hopeless gambler
I can’t get odds on her just breaking my back
And blowing my stack
She believes in beauty
And I believe in lies
She’s got me tangled up and tantalized and mesmerized
She thinks she keeps on winning
Gotta keep my head from spinning
Gotta stop me wanting her around
But she always me crazy
Always made my days seem hazy
Took my heart and gave me broken love
She swoops to conquer
While I wait to surrender
She walks on hallowed ground
Where she keeps me down where I’m gagged and bound
She comes home in whispers
And fills my life with wishes
I wait here for her blessing and
Wonder if I can still get by
She thinks she keeps on winning
Gotta keep my head from spinning
Gotta stop me wanting her around
But she always me crazy
Always made my days seem hazy
Took my heart and gave me broken love
Broken love

Blue
04:29
|

So I slammed the door and drove away
I would have only begged you anyway
Without a reason left to make me stay
I just disappeared
I think about you every now and then
and if you'll ever change your mind again
Well I don't understand what changed before
You just disappeared
I'm coming out of the blue again
I never thought I'd see you again
But I miss you when I'm sleeping
I can't let it go
Going into the black again
Never thought I'd be back again
I remember when we were closer friends
I can't let it go
What was it we used to talk about
In the middle of those lost evenings
When we couldn't admit we could live without
Each other
All the evenings when your phone rang out
And all those nights when we would hang about
And all those days when I just couldn't live without you
Till I just disappeared
I never used to dream at night that much
Until the two of us fell out of touch
Then all the lights went out I don't remember much
you just disappeared
I'm coming out of the blue again
I never thought I'd see you again
But I miss you when I'm sleeping
I can't let it go
Going into the black again
Never thought I'd be back again
I remember when we were closer friends
I can't let it go
What was it we used to talk about
In the middle of those lost evenings
When we couldn't admit we could live without
Each other
In the evening at your parents house
On your knees and turning round to me
The moon below your eyes was haunting me
Till I just disappeared
I'm coming out of the blue again
I never thought I'd see you again
But I miss you when I'm sleeping
I can't let it go
Going into the black again
Never thought I'd be back again
I remember when we were closer friends
I can't let it go
What was it we used to talk about
In the middle of those lost evenings
When we couldn't admit we could live without
Each other

Big Wheel
05:16
|

A pretty woman with an ugly mind has got her claws in me
I gotta pay for any fun I get cos nothing ever comes for free
She’s only ever really happy when she’s got me begging on my knees
Says “Daddy I’m just being unkind because I’ve got to make you see
That every single one of us got a weak link in our chain
We don’t let it get on top of us. Stand or fall on what you feel.
Every single one of us has an unlucky number in this game
I don’t let it get on top of me I just spin the big wheel.”
Got a friend who says he lost his mind when he lost his heart
Found a woman who put him back together whenever he fell apart
Now he’s doing 90 in his car hoping maybe he’ll lose control.
Said he never really thought that he could end up being so cold
Cos every single one of us got a weak link in our chain
Don’t let it get on top of us we stand or fall on what we feel
Every single one of has got an unlucky number in this game
I don’t let it get on top of me I just spin the big wheel

Retro
05:40
|

You infiltrate my dreams
And capture all my thoughts
Till I can’t think so clear anymore
And in between my dreams
And your reality
I’m drowning in an ocean of doubt
And don’t you worry (you infiltrate my dreams)
There’s nothing I could do anyway (capture all my thoughts
So many miles and no lucky breaks (till I can’t think so clear anymore)
But we’re edging closer (and in between my dreams)
Under cover of conversation (and your reality)
And where we touch my skin is on fire (I’m drowning in an ocean of doubt)
Chorus
Well you’re hard to forget so
I guess I’ll just have to miss you
And then you tell me that I’m so retro,
Cos I fell in love with you
Well I got here too late so
I guess it’s true that I missed you
You make me act so stupid and reckless
Cos I fell in love with you
I never said a thing
That I didn’t mean
But does it mean anything to you?
If you would tell me now
To come and set you free
I don’t know what could keep me from you
Don’t you worry (I never said a thing)
I’m coming on a train full of meaning (that I didn’t mean)
Tell me the number and I’ll be there (but does it mean anything to you?)
We’re edging closer (If you would tell me now)
Under cover of conversation (To come and set you free)
And where we touch my skin is on fire. (I don’t know what could keep me from you)
Chorus
Well you’re hard to forget so
I guess I’ll just have to miss you
And then you tell me that I’m so retro,
Cos I fell in love with you
Well I got here too late so
I guess it’s true that I missed you
You make me act so stupid and reckless
Cos I fell in love with you
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry
Chorus
Well you’re hard to forget so
I guess I’ll just have to miss you
And then you tell me that I’m so retro,
Cos I fell in love with you
Well I got here too late so
I guess it’s true that I missed you
You make me act so stupid and reckless
Cos I fell in love with you

Dark Side
04:35
|
|||
Well you came up on my blind side
And now with 20 20 hindsight
I can see you don’t want me to leave you
I was looking for a good time
Then you came and blew my mind
Don’t believe me? Well come up and see me
If I say you’re too good to be true
It doesn’t mean I don’t believe in you
But sometimes we’re afraid to be happy
To sleep perhaps to dream
They might just all come true
So come on take a ride on my dark side
Well you nearly passed me by
You nearly didn’t catch my eye
Wasn’t looking when you got the hook in
You’ll probably see my dark side
I hope you learn to let it slide
I believe you, believe me I need you
If I say you’re too good to be true
It doesn’t mean I don’t believe in you
But sometimes we’re afraid to be happy
To sleep perhaps to dream
They might just all come true
So come on take a ride on my dark side
Sometimes I’m not too easy
It ain’t easy to please me
But with you on my side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side
Yeah with you on my side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side
Yeah with you on my side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side
Maybe we can escape from my dark side

No Words
04:24

I watch her sleep
I think about her past
It’s another world now
I wish I had been there
All the things we could have shared as children
All the summers playing in the garden
I watch her hair
Spread out on the pillow
I watch her move
I wonder what she’s dreaming
Well I don’t care today
Cause I’m not listening
To all the things they say on the breakfast radio
There are no words for this feeling
I think I must be dreaming
Still I wake up and she’s there
And then my head goes through the ceiling
I just wanna start screaming
Kick my legs around in the air
I get out of bed
And I look out the window
It’s morning morning
And we’ve got nowhere to be
Every now and then
Something happens
The planets fall in line
Or you just get lucky
Just out there
is a world of trouble
And glass is thin
I shouldn’t feel so safe
I don’t care today I’m not listening
To all the things they say
On the breakfast radio
There are no words door this feeling
I think I must be dreaming
Still I wake up and you’re there
And then my head goes through the ceiling
I just want to start screaming
Kick my legs around in the air

Seed
05:00

I was a seed that fell on stony ground
You were a flower in the desert
I was a tree that fell without a sound
While you were walking in a forest
Don’t you
ever
say that I don’t want to live my life
Don’t you
ever
tell me how I’m gonna live my life
(In any case nobody’s listening)
I was waiting for the world to end
And you were making all your dreams come true
I wasting time on bitterness
You were crowding in the hours
Don’t you
ever
say that I don’t want to live my life
Don’t you
ever
tell me how I’m gonna live my life
