1.Pictures
when i cant see you
your always near
back right pocket
i keep you there
safely hidden
for all those times
when nothing else at all
can get me by
billfold out
deep inside
a botched ID and credit cards
i reach in to pull out
a thousand words of photo art
wallet sized
never bent or ever torn up in the least
i take good care of you
you mean so much to me
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
when ever i get weak
they keep my head up and my heart unbroken
hair is flowing
eyes and a smile
jump off the paper
and over a mile
to bring you to me
almost for real
no matter where i am
or how i feel
billfold out
deep inside
a botched ID and credit cards
i reach in to pull out
a thousand words of photo art
wallet sized
never bent or ever torn up in the least
i take good care of you
you mean so much to me
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
when ever i get weak
they keep my head up and my heart unbroken
its so hard spending time away
even short hours much less a day
i might as well tear out my lungs
becuase we fit together
nobody knows me better
without you
i'll come undone
undone
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
when ever i get weak
they keep my head up and my heart unbroken
my heart unbroken
2.Turncoat
Sink your teeth into me please
Cause wouldn't that be easier
than how you're going about it now
Cause I know you're trying hard
to stab me in the back but
Scilence doesn't work as cover
when you're found out
It used to be i knew you closely
or was i mistaken only
Fooled by this called friendship
upon which i thought we need more
But reflection is so pointless
when the bridge is burning right
So i'll just show your apitept tonight
Turncoat sinks me down
and everybody knows it
Turncoat sinks me down
and no one sheds a tear, tear, tear
At first i refuse to believe
I said there was no way
that words so cool could ever come from you
But you lost a bit, a bit of doubt
and now i could care less
which agony your fire, you're thrown to
Most times enimies last long
Through good friendships cause they're stronger
Never fased by time or distance
they will carry on
So accept delivery of my worst fear
reguard to read it twice
I hope this time you're heart'll come back to life
Turncoat sinks me down
and everybody knows it
Turncoat sinks me down
and no one sheds a tear, tear, tear
3.Broadcast
She puts on the light
She looks in the mirror
And cries to herself
It's becoming much clearer that
He's not where he says
He's not hanging with her
She flicks off the light
And she turns with a shiver
And when he comes home
He blood races cold
It's like being caught
In a rough strangle hold
They've done it so long
But for now she'll just keep hanging on
Cause the little things remind her
Of the good times they have had
Whenever she recalls those things
It's hard to think that he's so bad
It seems no matter where she goes
She hears this song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
And no matter how hard she tries
She can turn it up
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's driving her to ruin
She's falling in love
With a new boy and his smile
But she can't admit
To herself her hearts run wild
Her story time dreams
Of a fairy tale life
Are holding her back
To keep fighting this lost life
So she still holds on
To the hope he might change
But one hundred percent
Of the time he's the same
And now her heart has been smashed
The wheel has been broke
But she clings to the end of that rope
Cause the little things remind her
Of the good times they have had
Whenever she recalls those things
It's hard to think that he's so bad
It seems no matter where she goes
She hears this song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
But no matter how hard she tries
She can turn it off
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's driving her to ruin
It seems no matter where she goes
She hears this song on the radio, radio
And when she does she smiles to it
But no matter how hard she tries
She can turn it off
Or let it die, let it die
Even though she knows
He's driving her to ruin
4.Postcards Home
Eyes open as the light streams through the curtain
only half closed and the kink in my neck
and sleeping in my clothes again
reminds me that I'm not home
gotta go because we're leaving on a fifteen hour drive
but I'll call you sometime soon to let you know that I'm alright
do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
to see the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye
It's three am and we're driving through the desert
and the moon's bright so bright in fact
that I can almost write you without turning on the map light
but I gotta let you go now because it's my turn to drive
but I'll have so much to tell you at home when we arrive
Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
to see the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye So long goodbye
Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
to see the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye
5.Intermission
If the world should end, and we both die tonight.
I'd have no more time to say the things I might.
Had I known that this last hour would come so soon.
I'd have spent the last year speaking just to you.
And they'd be awkward all the things I would have said.
And that's the reason they have not been spoken yet.
But they mean too much to let them go unheard.
Even if I cannot really find the words.
Everyone's moving
I'm standing still
I stand frozen, stooped in headlights and I watch.
As fate rolls up near and strikes me where I'm stopped.
So I look as all I've wished for fades away.
Because fear grabbed a hold and kept me stuck in place.
But now I swear to everyone I've broken free.
And most of all to you I vow to be
The best of everything which I know that I can.
Because now I'm sure I'll always understand.
Times never frozen
I will move on
6.Burn Tomorrow
It's the kind of day that starts bad in the morning
When I wake up to the feeling that nothing is quite right
But circumstances forces me to make a smile
And so I head up to my destination feeling all the while
Cause I burn, I'm burning so fast
Burning up from the inside
Fighting bad emotions fuels the fire
When someone burns,
Burns all day long and it pain, it just never subsides
Left them with what one desire that
Tomorrow please come cause today is
Too much to take and I know this
Never thought you would break and it's showing
Tomorrow please come or I'm going
To break out and cry, cause this has been
The worst day of all, always kept it
I was falling apart and i need it
I hope the morning comes soon cause I need it, yeah
So feeling unhappy situation
From a place with something that I didn't want to face at all
And it weighs me down, like concrete shoes in water
But I have to keep a straight face, and that makes it so much
harder
Cause I burn, I'm burning so fast
Burning up from the inside
Fighting bad emotions fuels the fire
When someone burns,
Burns all day long and it pain, it just never subsides
Left them with what one desire that
Tomorrow please come cause today is
Too much to take and I know this
Never thought you would break and it's showing
Tomorrow please come or I'm going
To break out and cry, cause this has been
The worst day of all, always kept it
I was falling apart and i need it
I hope the morning comes soon cause I need it, yeah
Tomorrow please come cause today is
Too much to take and I know this
That without you I will break
And I can't take another day like today
Tomorrow please come
7.Sleep
And my eyes shut tight as the eyes of dark slip away
And I'll drift through dreams till the dawn of the day
When the sun comes up and I'll be here alone
Time plays the same joke again
Where it drags out forever a longer
Always could last only seconds as shorter
Those sweet hours when you're here by my side
And all these days are never ending
All the time life grew long and bye
I'll sleep long and well tonight
Because in dreams you're in my sight
When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore
And everything within the world is right
And a voice on wire is a sad replication if best put
The phone is the only means that I have
To bridge the lonely distance back to you
Hang up and long for your touch
Which I've missed now for weeks since aside
That being apart isn't easier with time
I can only count the seconds until I hold
And all these days are never ending
All the time life grew long and bye
I'll sleep long and well tonight
Because in dreams you're in my sight
When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore
And everything within the world is right
I'll sleep long and well tonight
Because in dreams you're in my sight
When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore
And everything within the world is right
8.Always It Will Be The Same
sat around and checked my watch
as I waited for the midnight hour
and I thought about the things
that happened
on this day that began thirteen years ago
I started on this journey
I started on this journey
yeah, I smile when I think about it
Know I can't live without it
laugh and go on about this all the time
never have i felt this way
always will it be the same
here i am infatuated
never thought that it would take me up this far
when i picked up a guitar
and learned to play it for the first time
but here I am and here we are
doing what we want to do
I'm lucky beyond luck
and i won't mess it up
yeah, I smile when I think about it
No I can't live without it
laugh and go on about this all the time
never have i felt this way
always will it be the same
here i am infatuated
smile when I think about it
No I can't live without it
laugh and go on about this all the time
never have i felt this way
always will it be the same
here i am infatuated
yeah, I smile when I think about it
No I can't live without it
laugh and go on about this all the time
never have i felt this way
always will i be the same
here i am infatuated
Yeahhh....
9.Follow The Leader
She walks down the sidewalk wondering
Lost in thought as the cars they pass her by
Wondering whose life this is and why
All of the things she had moved on
There's things she cannot quite understand
They're so happy following tradition
And she just can't
Lungs are breathing, Heart is pumping
This means she's alive but they say
Something's wrong with her feeling this way
Afraid to find years(?), come out and see
Those same people following her lead
Hoping that what she has is now what they all need
When she looks at them now she just smiles
As mis-led souls trample untold miles
When if they just followed their hearts they could be
Gifted for the rest of their trials
Lungs are breathing, Heart is pumping
This means she's alive but they say
Something's wrong with her feeling this way
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel, feel it
Can you feel anything, can you feel anything at all
10.Louder Than Words
Pin this one last
because it was the hardest
Yet it meant the most to me at the same time
Feelings are tough to explain
when what i feel is bigger than any word that i can find
So i wrote you this song
To tell you i love you
But I know that thats much less than you deserve
It's all so much less
Then these feelings i'm feeling
I hope my actions speak louder than words
Call me whenever, and i will come running
I'm ready and waiting for ever for you
I'll give you my whole heart
To hold as your keepsake
If you should ever need proof
Remembering the times that we spent together
I know how good it feels to be in your arms
Im always so happy and filled up with laughter
when ever i'm with you i feel safe and warm
