Here and Now
Something's wrong, you've gone cold
But there's fire in your look
and that look has grown old
hidden well, not at all
there's an absence in presence
and hollow-toned calls
well it's on again, off again,
inside my head
if it's gonna be borrowed
I'll take nothing instead
Whatcha think? What went wrong?
You sat on your worries and angers too long
But now it shows

here and now, nothing else,
nothing more, nothing less
here and now, before you go
was I all that you wanted,
or all that you've known

Something's wrong, something's changed
you always seemed helpless,
the role's rearranged
go ahead, and begin
to wrestle your demons,
you know you won't win
but all I can hope to do,
to keep me from losing you
is become as cold and hope we see it through
so I wait, well aware
I'm reaching for stars that I know are not there
But now it shows

Come On
Here it is, well I guess you're happy now
You got your problems all worked out
And all it took was time
So what's more, you got your ear down to the floor
You're frozen to the core
And you think that's just fine
Well you're sure you'll keep winning and by the beginning, the end will be bringing as long as you're singing out

No one's gonna show you how, no one's gonna slow you down, nothing's gonna stop you now

Well I guess, it's like you always said
Success is in your head, when you're resting in your bed
So hang on now, don't get your panties in a bunch
While daddy's out to lunch and baby's being bad

Well you're sure you'll keep winning and by the beginning, the end will be bringing as long as you're singing out

No one's gonna show you how, no one's gonna slow you down, nothing's gonna stop you now

Let Yourself Out
This story played out,
how I thought it would
And when I'm feeling down,
you keep me there for good
So if it's really it,
I'm ready to let go
of all we could have been
and all we could have known

oh now, well I, I guess nevermind

Take a look at yourself
take a look at you now
you let yourself in
now let yourself out

It may be over, maybe not
but I put this to you
And if we drift apart
there's nothing I can do

oh now, well I, I guess nevermind

Take a look at yourself
take a look at you now
you let yourself in
now let yourself out

It's the same,
it's a shame what happened to you
From what I hear,
what I fear's already true
back to top

Moving On (Goodbye)
Here we are at last, you are moving on
I was living in the past, now the past is gone
You pick up all the pieces, then you move along
You pick up all the pieces, then I'm left with none

When you find yourself weak
and you feel it in your knees
when there's no one there to speak
and no one there to please
Your thoughts are incomplete
this feeling of defeat
Remember that it's you that made it out to be like this

You're standing by me now
Soon you will be gone
If you're ever feeling lonely
You don't have to be alone
You pick up all the pieces, then you move along
You pick up all the pieces, then I'm left with none

When you find yourself weak
and you feel it in your knees
when there's no one there to speak
and no one there to please
Your thoughts are incomplete
this feeling of defeat
Remember that it's you that made it out to be like this

If we never meet again, if we never cry again, if we never laugh again, we all could die, but then, if we never live again, we never love again, if we never try, that's just fine, that's just fine with me

cause I am moving on
back to top

But I Don't
The new has gone old or so I'm told
these days you never know
I've been up watching war hoping for
a way to let go

The new love craze had me in a daze
but then again true love is so passe
I guess

But I want to breathe, I want to need, I want to fall at your feet
I want to miss the taste of your kiss and crave your skin's heat
I want to know just how overblown I made our differences seem
But I don't

There's talk about waging a war that's making us safe from other wars
But I've heard the lines and I know this time it's never worked before

The new love craze had me in a daze
but then again true love is so passe
I guess

But I want to breathe, I want to need, I want to fall at your feet
I want to miss the taste of your kiss and crave your skin's heat
I want to know just how overblown I made our differences seem
But I don't

There was a time when I thought we'd find ourselves renewed
But those days are gone and all that is wrong will stay with you

Remember When
There’s a pain, an aberration
A strange invasion, A broken dream
There’s a word for the danger
Before it takes you away from me
Like a frame on the mantle
A roman candle, coming threat
From the banks of a river
It makes me shiver to think of it

Remember when
We thought we’d win
And we’d begin to take control
Remember when?
Not again, not for you

Next thing I know, I hear you screaming
You’re barely breathing or so it seems
All the violence in your silence
All the meanings lost inside us

Remember when
We thought we’d win
And we’d begin to take control
Remember when
Not again not for you

And now that winter’s gone
The chills and all the winds have calmed
For now
And now that we are here
Alone to face the coming year
Somehow, somehow

A divided nation
An aberration
A plea for help
Lost in translation

Internet Killed the Video Star
I fixed my breakfast down at Samuel’s bar
I watched young lovers, loving from afar
Singing Internet killed the video star
I brought you flowers for the trunk of your car

I woke up sweating, getting at your feet
And fixed myself some artificial meat
I listened to bonnie Tyler’s “hero” on repeat
And I iced my trousers to try and beat the heat

But your sour kiss, little Miss Marie
Imports happiness and exports misery
I trade my rupees for manifest destiny
I trade my honey for cold complacency

Singing

It’s a crying shame
The Internet’s to blame
Some say “heads or tails” but I say they’re the same
Come on hun I heard you like it that way

Southern soul kiss or southern hospitality
Your soiled silk, your spoiled milk they all trick me
I walked across the border a quarter passed three
And looked you up in the old directory

Singing

It’s a crying shame
The Internet’s to blame
Some say “heads or tails” but I say they’re the same
Come on hun I heard you like it that way

Bend
So go now, get on your way
You’ve got no more reasons for you to stay
A hangover queen, never looked so sweet
Now you’ve got to find what you’re going to be
Don’t let anyone slow you down
And you’ll be the brightest star around
You could fail and you could end
But you’ve got more than the best of them
So when you think you’ll break
You’ve got to learn to bend
I knew it all along, you can make it on your own
Use everything you took, you can do it with a look
In all that you do, we all move to you
Y ou don't need to be afraid, now you've got it made

It Goes On
I've been combing for answers but, these clues just aren't enough for me
Call me irrational, aligning with the fashionable, but it seems
It's true it's more than medical, hypothetical toxins in the distance
Undead spoon-fed it's been said, but we can't wait for this to go on

And in the morning rituals, tune out the habitual if you can
Long nights getting longer and spotlights getting stronger but again
It seems it's more than medical, hypothetical toxins in the distance
Undead spoon-fed it's been said, but we can't wait for this to go on
back to top

Forget I Said Anything
Well it’s about time to say goodbye
It could have gone better, but then again I think it’s fine
Or maybe not, or maybe not
I crossed the t’s, and dot the eyes
And colored inside all the lines
But look what I got
Well it seems to me
Nothing’s ever meant to be
And all you have are actions and missed opportunities
And I’ve got plenty
You say something’s wrong with you
But I’ve already thought it through
And I know what I have to give will never be enough for you
So maybe that’s more on me, maybe that’s more on me
And running through my head
The lovers who you took to bed
And nights I could’ve gone and made something of myself instead
But that won’t happen again, that won’t happen again
Sometimes it seems to me, nothing’s ever meant to be
And even if you give it all there’s no guarantee
That you’ll receive anything in return
And I told you that I love you
I told you that I need you
I told you I would never even think to ever leave you
But now I am telling you kid
Forget I said anything
