7-11
I’ve been losing track of days,
In all this elegant sin,
Seconds slowly slip away,
No one knows the mess I’m in.
Psychedelic furs, over and over,
Well, what was I to think,
When I saw you standing there,
All pretty in pink?
We were in our glory,
Another New York story,
Double mojitos and pink champagne,
Jumping through puddles of acid rain.
Silver spotlight shining down,
There is beauty in this din.
All of heaven if I choose to go,
Chemicals have locked me in.
Stainless steel miscalculations,
Starry-eyed and stunned,
Futures floating just above our heads,
Another smile, I come undone,
Undone.
Undone.
We were in our glory,
Another New York story,
Double mojitos and pink champagne,
Jumping through puddles of acid rain.

Gravity
Close your eyes, and you will see,
There’s a light that shines inside of me,
Every time you’re in the room
And if push would come to shove,
I would say this can’t be love,
I can’t feel this way so soon.
But, you’re pulling me so close
And, I’m losing all control
We’ve been out for ages now,
Circles turning all around you,
Arcs of color make me stare.
Can’t explain the way you move,
With your midnight hair
and your satin groove,
I am breathing in your air.
And I’m falling, falling
Here you stand before me,
Everything you are for me,
You’re the star on my horizon.
Here I stand before you,
Let me capture stars for you,
Let me be the light in your eyes.
As I’m falling, falling
Falling, falling
Yeah, I’m falling, falling
Falling, falling...
Circles turning all around you
Stars are falling all around you

Baltimore
And you were standing,
Buying roses from a girl,
And, I was silent,
Frozen in a silent world,
The rain was falling
Rainbows swirling down the drain,
And, I was dreaming
I was dreaming in the rain…
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When the world falls into place?
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When you see a pretty face?
And, you looked through me,
Like a shadow in the rain,
But, were you smiling?
I’m invisible again,
Yet again.
And, you were leaving,
Roses hanging in the air,
I might have called out,
If it mattered more,
I wonder if you’d even care,
Do you care?
And the rain was falling,
It was falling to the ground,
And, I was laughing,
I was laughing at the sound.
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When the world falls into place?
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When you see a pretty face?
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When the world falls into place?
And, ain’t it simple,
And, ain’t it simple,
When you see a pretty face?

One Step
You hold my hand
You catch my fall
Your sacred fire baby
Won't protect us all
You burn my soul
Your savior kiss
How could I ever know
That it would come to this?
Your hardened heart
As black as night
Your truth is wrong
Your lies are right
One step
Further than I wanted to be
I've been
Waiting and I'm starting to see
Make up something
Make up something
Make up something
So that I can believe
You hold my hand
You lift me up
I’m drinking deep now baby
From your golden cup
My hardened heart
As black as night
The truth is wrong
The lies are right

Waking From A Dream
I
Was walking through the world
Holding hands with a girl
I never noticed she was gone.
They looked all around
And all that they found
Was that
I
Fell through a hole
And buried my soul
At the bottom of a well
Well, what can I say?
It was a beautiful day,
Anyway…
Counting the stars with my head
on the ground,
Standing in place while the world
turns around me,
Everything changes,
And everything always stays the same.
I
Was swallowed by the sun,
Dropping charms on everyone,
Cause they never knew my name.
I was flying oh so high,
But you never told me why,
I
Was walking down the street,
Golden sandals on my feet,
So bright that everyone would stare,
But I never could contain,
As the angels fell like rain,
All the pain...
I
Was waking from a dream,
Searching for a seam,
In the darkness of your shoulder.
But, I never could explain,
How the thunder and the rain,
Could make you
Smile
Falling through a hole,
Waiting for my soul,
Coming on the day's last train.
Still I never understand,
Why we're making our plans
To fly away…

Stars Fade

Stars Fade
Young and extreme,
Always running, hot or cold,
Everything to everybody,
Nothing left for me to hold.
All that time that I’d been wasting,
Imagined demons we were chasing,
Sweating bullets every night,
Still I could not make things right,
For you.
You liked to tell me
you never shed a tear,
For all the times
your heart’s been crossed,
Was I not the one
picking up the pieces
Of all the things you swore
you never lost?
Spare me now from looking back
I’m waking from a distant dream
I’m calling out, and no one hears,
Things are never what they seem.
All that time that I’d been wasting,
Imagined demons we were chasing,
Sweating bullets every night,
Still I could not make things right,
For you.
Stars fade,
As the night, it runs away,
You’re one of them now,
You’re one of them now,
You’ve got nothing to say.
Scars fade,
California’s far away,
You’re one of them now,
You’re one of them now,
You’ve got nothing to say.

The Last One Standing
When the night comes,
And you close your eyes
You hear the drumbeat
Of a thousand lies
But, I’ll be the last one standing,
The last one standing.
And when the stars fall
Down from the sky
Oh, when the mountains crumble,
The waters rise,
I’ll be the last one standing
The last one standing.
You’re standing still,
but I know you want to run
Oh anywhere,
Anywhere
You’re reaching out,
You’re trying to find the one,
You think there’s no one there,
But, darling, I’ll be there
So, when your world comes
Crashing down around you
You feel those walls
Closing in all around you
Don’t you know that I’m the
last one standing,
The last one standing.
You’re looking up
You see the pieces falling
Everywhere, everywhere
And through the madness,
I can hear you calling,
You think there’s no one there,
But darling I’ll be there
So, when the night comes,
I’ll be right beside you
Just let my heartbeat
Be the sound that guides you
Cause I’m the last one standing,
The last one standing.
Oh, I’ll be the last one standing,
The last one standing
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The last one standing,
The last one standing.

You Say You Love Me

You Say You Love Me
And when you say you love me,
I wonder if you really love me,
I’ve got a feeling that it isn’t true.
And when you say you miss me,
You’ve got a special way
when you kiss me,
And, nothing else matters,
I’m still falling for you.
There’s a storm that’s brewing
behind your smoky eyes,
You’re holding my hand,
but you’re scoping out other guys,
You say the words that soothe me,
That you never, ever wanna lose me
But something inside me says things
just ain’t right.
And when you say you love me,
I wonder if you really love me,
I’ve got a feeling that it isn’t true.
And when you say you miss me,
You’ve got a special way
when you kiss me,
And, nothing else matters,
I’m still falling for you.
There’s a shadow of a doubt I feel
when I hold you near,
But losing you baby
just ain’t my biggest fear,
I’m the man hanging on the line,
Wondering if you’re really mine,
Or am I just waiting for you to disappear?
And when you say you love me,
I wonder if you really love me,
I’ve got a feeling that it isn’t true.
And when you say you miss me,
You’ve got a special way
when you kiss me,
And, nothing else matters,
I’m still falling for you.

Something to Believe
You
Stand in the shadows,
Never
Seek out the sun.
Lightning,
Off in the distance,
You say,
The war has begun.
You
Talking in circles,
Sharpen
Your sword on the stone.
Thunder
Off in the distance,
You say
The damage is done.
Close your eyes,
Say your prayers,
Hope like hell heaven hears.
There's something more,
We'll swim to shore,
Through this sea of tears.
You
Stand in the shadows,
Never
Seek out the sun,
God,
She wasn't watching
Waiting
For no one to come.
Close your eyes,
Say your prayers,
Hope your will be done.
There's something more,
We'll swim to shore.
Better days will surely come.
If you need
Something to believe,
There is always love.

You Are Not Alone
You’re shooting in the dark,
You’ve missed your mark again,
You’re going nowhere fast.
And all the reasons that you leave
behind, the lies you did believe in,
Ghosts fading in your past.
And, everything you want,
And, everything you need,
Is everything you ever wanted to be.
And, everything you want,
And, everything you need,
Is everything you ever wanted to be.
You see faces in the crowds,
You see angels in the clouds again,
Flowers fall on you like snow.
And, all the while you tried,
Keeping secrets locked inside of you,
There’s nothing now we need to know.
And, everything you want,
And, everything you need,
Is everything you ever wanted to be.
And, everything you want,
And, everything you need,
Is everything you ever wanted to be.
Turn the radio up too loud,
Don’t care what the song’s about,
And, you can find your way back home,
You are not alone now.
