Hate Song
02:56
|

|
Even though you act as a cover for me, I can't pull you off. I can't fall asleep. All I want is a little less from you, but all I feel are your tremors coming through. Though I love you some, I still love my solitude. Don't be mad. It's only the truth. After all, you drain into your sea. You scoop up a cup of you soul to feed me. All I want is a little less from you. Yeah, all I want is to decimate your troops. More or less, we're all moralless at heart. You keep pulling me in, and it's pulling me apart. In the end, these conquests, no, no, nevermind. That's not what I meant at all.

So Long
02:02
|

|
I can admit that all we had before were my sweet little things and my tie around your door, but now when I pick up my jeans from the floor you stare at me like, "What are you waiting for?" And I pick up my pants, I look at all the ants walking down Lexington Avenue. And the sunrise fills the room, and I leave before the afternoon. So long, have a nice day.

Surrender Your Love
02:51
|
|||
|
Love, love, love, love. The past is gone. The past is forever. Surrender, surrender your love. Before we made our connection you needed protection. Surrender your love. Surrender your love. I don't need your wisdom. I don't need your trust. I don't want the heartache. I just want you to surrender your love. I will carry you through tomorrow. I will carry you across an angry sea. I will lift you up from the sorrows if you give your love to me. Surrender your love. Surrender your thoughts. Give in to your heart. Surrender your love. Give in to your heart. Listen to your love thoughts. Surrender to your love. Your love, your love, your love, your love is enough. Your love, your love, your love, surrender your love.

Why Wait So Long
05:49
|
|||
|
Why did I wait? Why did I wait so long? Never settle, for fear of being wrong. Why did I wait? Why did I wait so long? Stay silent, instead of being strong. Now you don t even know that this is your song. The mark on the wall you thought was a snail, mistaking life for a fairy tale. Trying to write the opera where you belong. The script's not even done, and she's saying, "so long." Now you don t even know that this is your song

Life is a Masquerade
01:56
|
|||
|
Things naturally fall into place when you leave it up to grace, when you look life in the face. Real love doesn't wear a mask, and if you ask it won't tell you its name. Don't be afraid, life's a masquerade. At night, the mask will say that you're lovely. Just one cup of coffee before you go. Can't you pull off your mask just once and let me see the face behind? Can't you just show me once? One more chance. Don't be afraid, life is a masquerade. Carpe diem. Life is a masquerade, yeah!

Seven
02:41

I can't tell if I'm running to you or from you. Is that a thunder cloud or silver crown above you? I don't mean to play on your sympathies, pardon me. Don't you remember all those nights that we spent in heaven? Nobody's perfect, nothing wrong with coming in seventh. I rode the Lake George log flume and enjoyed it. I've never been much of a poet. I stayed up all night, trying to break the charts. I know I'm not hallow, but I know I'm not smart. Where you go I'll follow. Yeah, I'll follow my heart. I may have to leave, but right after that I'll come back. You know it will go away, but it will come back. Don't you remember all those nights that we spent in heaven? Nobody's perfect, nothing wrong with being track seven. Nobody's perfect, nothing wrong with coming in seventh.

Thinking Of You
02:42
|

|
Things stayed casual for a month or two. You were a little confused. I was thinking of you. You were thinking of me too. You were thinking of me too. I was thinking of you. I was thinking, I hope it doesn't take me too long to answer all your questions. There's always something I forgot to mention. Oh, the questions, so many questions, but things stayed casual for a month or two. I know you're a little confused. I'm still thinking about you. You're still thinking about me too. Oh, so many questions, so many questions. There's always something I forgot to mention. Always.

Sentimental Man
01:28
|

|
Just because I'm a sentimental man doesn't mean that you can make me cry. Just because you think you have a plan doesn't mean you have a reason why. I'll try to forgive you, if you try to forget me too. I will try to forgive you, if you try to forget about me.

You Don't Belong To Me
03:40
|
|||

You're not going to be my woman. I'm not going to be your man. I just want to keep your soul free, even when you're beneath me. And when you let me have a dance, I'll believe you when you say you don't belong to me. You're not mine. You moved back to Carolina. We still keep in touch. I miss you so much. I'll wait October, come on over. You don't belong to me. You're not mine.

Lonely Road
02:28
|

|
I rowed. I slowly rowed. I slowly rowed. I slowly rowed you across the lake. It was my first mistake. This lonely road. This lonely road. This lonely road seems to stretch too for me to carry this load. I dreamt of you. I dreamt of you. I wrote you back, but I guess my letter never came through. Little girl, little girl. Little girl, little girl. What have you done with the one we all love? I slowly rowed. I slowly rowed you across this lake. It was my first mistake.

Trapped In A Well
02:37

Trapped in hell. Trapped in a well. Trapped in hell. Trapped in a well. Trapped in a hell. Trapped in a well. Trapped in a well. Trapped in hell. I am trapped inside this water. I am hoping you bring down a bucket. I hope that I can get out. I think I see the moon. I think I see the moon. I think I see you. I think I see you under the moonlight. I think I saw you inside my dream tonight. I think I saw you inside her night light. I think I saw you inside a dream. I think I saw you inside of me. I think I saw you inside outside a flower. I think I saw your outside of Broad. I think I saw you outside the bar. I think I saw you enter the hall. I think I saw you inside the hall. Inside you're tall. Inside you're really tall. I thought you were kind of real. I thought you were into a different fear. I thought you were all sorts of things that I thought were weird before, now you've opened the folklore. I think we're onto things, onto things that people usually aren't into. Life is sort of surprising, soul-rising. Look at the sunrise. Look the sun, look at the sun come over the hills. It's coming up through the shades. It's coming up through the rain. It's coming; it's going to fade. It's going to fade. It's going to come to like a minstrel. It's coming to you like you never thought of. You thought you were inside of her. You thought you were inside of me. I thought I saw you outside of the...

Dreamers
03:03
|

|
When you're born with dreams in your eyes there are some things that are hard to shake. Seduce me. Reduce me. Destroy me, like a drug. Now I've traveled a thousand miles, but still have not escaped. Seduce me. Reduce me. Destroy me, like a drug.

Wishing Well
02:01
|

I dropped my wish into a wishing well. I wrapped it up and then it fell. Down to the depths, straight down to hell. I dropped my wish into the wishing well. I had a life, lived it well. Went to school and learned to spell. Found a girl who rang my bell. Got a job and learned to sell. I dropped my wish into a wishing well. I cast it off and then it fell. Before too long things got dull. I made a life but had my full. Things began to lull. Can't help but feel the pull. I dropped my wish. I cast it off.

Old lady luck has been trying my trust for a little to long. Come on, brother, can't you fix me a drink so that I can get on? Abysmal at best-- this pain in my chest feels like a pain of the heart. I should have bailed when I was on top, now I'm falling apart. Boom. I think I've been looted. Let's all gets zooted; it's the end of the night.
