I Can't Look at You
02:54

I can’t look at you without crying
I can’t look at you anymore
I can’t look at you without smiling, oh
And I can’t look at you
I can’t look at you in the morning
I can’t look at you anymore
I can’t look at you across the water, oh
And I can’t look at you…
Cause I don’t have a clue where I’m hiding
And I don’t have a clue anymore
And I don’t want to hear your good-bye-ing, oh
Cause then I can’t look at you
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
I can’t look at you without crying
I can’t look at you anymore
I can’t look at you without smiling, oh
And I can’t look at you
I can’t look at you, whoa
And I can’t look at you anymore.

These days, you need
someone to take care of ya
Just let go of your pride
Absence makes the heart grow blinder
Please be kinder, I don’t wanna be
Out of Sight,
Out of Mind
You fail, you fall,
but I won’t let you break
One day you’ll realize
I’m the one who gave what you needed
I refuse to let you stay…
Out of Sight,
Out of Mind
When you need me I will be there
I will hold you
you know I’m the one who will dare
Be your cover, be your other
And I swear you’ll never be
Out of sight,
Out of Mind
One day, you’ll find
I’m not the one who failed ya
It comes as no surprise
I am standing right here waiting
Eyes wide open now you’ll never be
Out of Sight,
Out of Mind

Someday Soon
03:44
|

Someday soon I will rearrange my notes and organize
Someday soon I will juxtapose the truth into my rhymes
Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon I will be myself, stop wearing my disguise
Someday soon I will learn to leave my troubles at the door
Someday soon I will pick my broken heart up off the floor
Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon I will keep myself from always wanting more
Looking away, over my shoulder
Back to yesterday
Retrace the path, mull it over
What was then someday, has passed away
Someday soon I will start to read my books between the lines
Someday soon I will finally rediscover the divine
Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon I will learn to turn the water into wine
Looking away, over my shoulder
Back to yesterday
Retrace the path, mull it over.
What was then someday, has passed away-ay-ay…
Someday soon I will sail the seven seas to every shore
Someday soon I will find the guts to show up at your door
Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon I’ll admit that you’re the one that I adore.
Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon I will build that little cabin in the woods
Someday soon
Oh, I know you think you knew I thought I should
Someday soon,
Oh, A visit to the woods would do me good

Believe in Yourself
03:38
|
|||
Another weekend is gone,
slipping by, ticking time, ever slowly
They’ll try again in a while,
but for now, nothing gained, losing something
They tell themselves it’s hard to score
The courage to get out that door
But this time will be different, I can feel it...
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
if nobody else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then somebody else will
He’s got to make it this time,
she’s out there, she’s the one, and he knows it
She’s building up her resolve,
there’s a boy, that she knows, she tries to control it
Orbits without gravity
There’s so much more out there to see
They know it’s true,
but they just can’t seem to believe it...
It’s time to stop this sight unseen
You’re going out for Halloween
It’s time to get out
and show the whole world that you’re ready
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
if nobody else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then somebody else will
Sometimes he feels so strong
(it’s already slipping away)
Sometimes she feels so beautiful
Turn around, feeling’s gone,
oh god the nights are so long...
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
if nobody else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then somebody else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then everyone else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then everyone else will
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
You’ve got to believe in yourself,
then everyone else will

When It Began
03:58
|
|||
Mmm. Oh yeah. Uh.
When it began was just the other day
Then it became all night
We were just people in the
right place at the wrong time
When it began was just alright.
Mmm. Oh yeah. Uh.
When it began was just the other night
Everything’s good it just felt right
It was like watching all the words just
Find their rhythm and rhyme,
When it began was just alright
Before it began You were so far away
I never knew you were so right
We never said goodnight
When it began was just alright…
Mmm. Oh yeah. Uh.
When it began was just before the end
And we have tried with all our might
But things just never seem to stay
the way they started
But when it began was just alright
Before it began You were so far away
I always thought you were so right
And now we’ve said goodnight
But When it began was just alright…
Mmm. Oh yeah. Uh.

Bluefin Bay

Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
All my troubles melt around me
I can feel them drift away
And they ne’er again shall find me
As I’m sailing on the bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
The Sun is on the water
Tears are in my eyes
Through the wind and waves I wander
Feel my soul is on the rise
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
The depths below are calling
But there’s another way I’ve found
It’s the sails keep me from falling
When I’m back standing on the ground
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay
Sailing on Bluefin Bay

Feel the Sting
03:40
|
|||
You’re watching. You’re waiting.
You’ve got to spring this trap and soon
You’re hungry, you’re needing
Some fool to stumble into you
They know you, you’re hiding,
No one has ever seen your face
They don’t dare come knocking
They fear your deadly cold embrace
You want them,
you need them,
you’ve got to try…
You’re getting older
Whoa-oh, there she go es
Oh no, you’re getting bolder
Whoa-oh, there she goes again
Oh oh, you’re getting colder
Whoa-oh, there she goes
Oh no, you’re getting… getting…
You’re getting older,
you’re getting bolder
You’re getting colder,
I’m getting over you
You feel it, there’s something
You know you’ve got to see this through
You’re moving, you’re stalking
He’s walking right straight into you
Now finally, you have him
But something steals away your eyes
There’s something you’re missing
You’re going to Feel the Sting this time
Can’t fight it, you tried it,
and now you fly…
You’re getting older
Whoa-oh, there she go es
Oh no, you’re getting bolder
Whoa-oh, there she goes again
Oh oh, you’re getting colder
Whoa-oh, there she goes
Oh no, you’re getting… getting…
You’re getting older,
you’re getting bolder
You’re getting colder,
I’m getting over you
You’re getting older,
you’re getting bolder
You’re getting colder,
I’m getting over you

Flipped
03:02
|

What a trip the world has flipped
And now we're upside down
That hole I dug to China
Twisted backwards underground
Good thing for fate to stop the spade
That could have put me down
For hidden in the dirty dark,
A shocking line was found
For all I know I hit that thing
And now I'm far beyond
You're all imagination
In a world that's been and gone
The pen I grasp is flashing neurons
Prompted by the jolt
A lifetime's worth of memories
Stored in a… a lightning bolt
So now you know your origins
So question now what's real
For your soul is my creation
In my mind your fate is sealed
Never underestimate the
shocked mind of the fool
Can't you feel your short-lived life
Tick away slowly by the joule?

Gathering for Winter
02:33
|
|||
We are gathering for Winter,
As the Sun turns down its flame.
We're preparing for the long cold lonely days,
We have reaped the fruits of summer
And the Autumn's final days
Have drifted by now only memories remain.
We have prepared a little nest for us to cozy in,
Four sturdy walls with insulation from the storm,
A simple world with simple gifts
No pain no strife, no broken rifts
It's beautiful and wonderful
And it’s rarer than a unicorn…
We are gathering together
Some out of fear some out of strain.
There are times when friend must gather, come what may.
As the world keeps growing colder
We must protect what still remains
Of what is real and good and beautiful and strange.
But who knows what the future brings
We may get bit and feel the sting
Forsaken by the powers that will be
It's hard to muster hope at times,
To find the words and make the rhymes
When nothing's making sense and
There's nothing left to read between the lines…
We are gathering for Winter,
As the Sun turns down its flame.
We're preparing for the long cold lonely days,
As the world keeps growing colder
We must protect what still remains
Of what is real and good and beautiful and strange.
Mmm…. Ahh.

Startup Man

Startup man
(Sending out the air)
He does all that can
There is no other man
Can do it like you do
Why won’t he talk to me?
(Cuz He’s the Startup Man)
Why won’t he talk to me?
It’s like he doesn’t see
Or sees right through me
He’s following her
(sending out the air)
He knows his way around
He’s falling to the ground
She’s got a lover
The hour’s calling you
(The hour’s calling you)
The days just disappear
It’s getting Late to tell
(It’s getting late to tell)
She’s slipping away
Startup man
(Sending out the air)
He does all that can
There is no other man
Can do it like you do
Can do it like you do
Do it like you do
Do it like you do
Do it like you do

Wake Up With You
04:12
|
|||
I want to see, I want to try
I want to be something you need
Something you feel, something you like
Something real that you can believe
I can’t keep it pent up inside
I just needed to say…
I just wanna Wake Up with You
Wake up with you
It’s so surreal, something inside
Telling you that this can’t be real
Sometimes you feel this isn’t right
Something’s there you cannot reveal
Then you say you can’t tell a lie
Tell me what’s on your mind…
I just wanna Wake Up with you
Wake up with you
I want to see, you want to try
Let’s be something we really need
Something we feel, something we like
Something real that we can believe
There’s no need to keep it inside
What else is there to say?
I just wanna Wake Up with you
Wake up with you

Little Big Things
In the quiet times
In the alone times
The little things get washed away
in the flood of the everyday
Become as big as they should be
when nothing else is in the way
Little Big Things
In the quiet times
In the alone times
We are here together
We are here alone
We have only to look around
To see how we have grown
Little Big Things
In the quiet times
In the alone times
I remember
You lived what I became
Don’t sweat the small stuff
But learn to play the game
I remember
I remember
Our time is through
But your love shines through
Little Big Things
In the quiet times
In the alone times
Taking things for granted
Is not what’s good and true
I’m gathering my rosebuds now
And sending them all to you
Little Big Things
In the quiet times
In the alone times
Little Big Things
