Song Lyrics

Only Love

Forget about tonightForgive away tomorrowSpeak of only loveDespite the deepest sorrowForget about the wordsForgive the reckless actionsSpeak of only loveThe queen of all distractionsBut Iʼm the king of everythingTake this cup away from meLet it pass before I leaveTake...

Be Yourself

I ainʼt seen what youʼve seen  I ainʼt been where you have been  I never claim to, I never want to  I never will be just like you  Canʼt you see that Iʼll never be the epitome of this American Dream? But who called it a dream anyway?  Weʼre always searching for...

Last Train

[Verse 1] I remember being free  I remember everything  He wanted us all the same  So evil plans were made    [Verse 2] All too weak to fight  So they treat us all alike  But none of us look the same  On this God forsaken train    [Verse 3] Thereʼs sadness...

Connie & Blyde

We are not lovers  But making love is easy  Boy/Girl, believe me  Oh you know that I could never be your girl/man  But I could stay out every night and dance under the moon with you But youʼve heard it all, Iʼm nothing to put your faith in  Before you hold my hand,...

Play

Look at this place around us  Look at all the people  Watching and waiting  And looking for something thatʼs thereʼs for the taking Something to make sense out of this crazy world that weʼre living in Out of this ultimatum that weʼre dealing with  Just look at the...

Dream Song

As you sleep, everything is at peace  You start to dream and anything becomes possible  You lie in your bed and visions coming swirling through your little head  Youʼre all alone for now    But all I can think of is the worst  I canʼt keep these thoughts away  I...

Will We Ever Know

He spends his days screaming at the sky  Haunted by a lover, he canʼt seem to sleep at night  Finding fault in everything, shouting up at God  Looking for a reason, looking for something    He roams the streets at night in search of another her  Too many faces...

Take It In Stride

I do not like the way  That you throw your life away  But who am I  Am I  Am I  Am I  To be giving you advice  I donʼt know why I even try  But who am I  Am I  Am I  Am I  Hurricane is blowing through  But you take it in stride  You gonna take it in stride  Itʼll blow...

Gotta Have You

You could whisper  Almost anything  And it would immediately steal my attention Bite your bottom lip  Act like you donʼt know what youʼre doing    Iʼm just boy and you know just how to get me going  Is this responsible, I think not, baby  This is spontaneous ...

Blindman

I have seen the seven seas  The blindman said to me  I have held the treasures of a thousand kings    I was there before  Someone decided to bite the apple  And Iʼll be right here  Preparing for the final battle    Are you the one I heard about?  The one...

Surrender

I want you to know  That I will go most anywhere if you are there  Edge of the earth  Baby, I donʼt care, I will  Make your dreams come true  Try my damndest to be the man thatʼs good enough To love the girl heʼs proudest of, I swear  I swear  If you wanna cry, I will...

Work

Another battle, another war  And its all over the news  How could losers be so sore?  How could you be so confused?  Then again, Iʼm not surprised   Because they love to lie to you  Broken people, dry your eyes  Weʼve got a lotta work to do  Donʼt try to cover up the...

Possibility

Softest lips in all creation  The sweetest lips Iʼve ever tasted Speaking words so soft and sacred Youʼve got what it takes to make it  My lovea you got it all  My lovea you got it all  Early morninga lying naked  I awake to fingers tracing  Girla your teaching me...

Today

You look tired of this sleepy townLike a broken toy in the lost and foundLike a saxophone that wonʼt make a soundYou seem to beat odds with the worldYou seem to be confused if you can even moveWith those cement shoes and mid-summer bluesIt donʼt matter if you win or...

Questions

Looking across this balcony on this beautiful eveningWith all of our friends falling all over one anotherThe world is starting to move in an uncontrollable mannerIʼm getting a little bit dizzy,I've had a bit too muchBut how much is too much? Whoʼs to say that I'm...
