Give Up 04:11
lyrics
Hey, I’ve been seeing, I’ve been seeing your carved name In the trees where we played. And I think back, I think back to what we said Said we’d always be the same. But that could never be, now we’re older And it’s all too easy to falter Got too many years left to catch up And it’s all too easy to give up, just to give up Hey, I’ve been dreaming, I’ve been dreaming of those nights Only soft drinks and no fights Now I wish that, wish I could be as wise as then But kids turn fools when they’re men And I’m as foolish as them, now we’re older And I couldn’t take a minute to call you Got too many years left to catch up And it’s all too easy to give up, just to give up

Suckers For Love 05:21
lyrics
So, you dont want to deal with goodbyes you'd only see my eyes and they'd say way too much about you No, you dont want to hear from both sides dont care where the truth resides well that tells me so much about you There must be something, some part of you Asking a question of what you're about to do You know you're just too hard but that's you When you can't tell your wrong from your right How do you sleep at night? I guess all that booze well it must sure help Well I might be cut from strange wood My mainstream insights not so good But that don't make me the worst now does it? There must be something, some part of me I'm missing something that you can clearly see I'm just too soft yeah but that's me Well where do we go from here? My minds all grazed and nothing is clear So How's it look from your side honey I guess we're just to tired and drunk fighting about useless junk its time we let it go now There must be something, some part of us We're feeling something that we can't touch I guess we're just two suckers for love

Heart & Soul 05:07
lyrics
When first I met you, I didn't get you Then after a while, I noticed your style Then you tore the heart and soul out of me Oh yeah, you tore the heart and soul out of me You tore the heart and soul from me How I want you, how you haunt me This empty feeling, its just not healing Held out for a while, I can't hold on You tore the heart and soul out of me Oh yeah, you tore the heart and soul out of me You blew so hot and cold I did what I was told But you tore the heart and soul out of me oh yeah Try to fix a life that ran so smoothly Till you came along and ran right through me yeah My head's on fire, I want to sleep My head's on fire, I'm in too deep Cause you tore the heart and soul out of me Yeah you tore the heart and soul out of me It seems we crashed and burned I hope I lived and learned Cause you tore the heart and soul out of me oh yeah Try to fix a life that ran so smoothly Till you came along and ran right through me yeah

So Tired Of You 03:40
lyrics
So tired of you, you don’t move me, You've built me up to something I’ll never be And when we're out, you scream and shout You'll keep me up all night I have no doubt I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you And now of late, you hesitate to tell me that you love me, because it grates I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you She treats me like a child and still expects to see me smile Why don't you hang on for a while, wait and see? I dont think so I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you More and more I have to build myself up for this chore And just to say, we do ok It's not enough for me to be this way I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you I'm tired of you, so tired of you

Everyone 03:37
lyrics
Everyone's against you Everyone offends you No one will make friends with you But you'll get them all in the end Everyone deflates you You think that they all hate you Buses will not wait for you Buit you'll get them all in the end Crybaby, crybaby, run home with your ball Crybaby, you can lose them all And it hurts like hell And more than you can tell I hope you do get well But in the meantime you'll remain crybaby No one understands you Your parents didn't plan you They couldn't give you all their love But you'll get them all in the end None of us is perfect You've got to have some respect Let us do what we all want to And we'll all get there in the end Sure it hurts like hell And more than you can tell I hope you do get well But in the meantime you'll remain crybaby

Nothing But A Love Song 04:55
lyrics
It's about time we had a talk Just for once dont turn and walk Like you usually do Seems clear now that our love it fades Got to face up now the future ain't so good Like we hoped it would But I'll still try to keep you by my side And I won't hide the way I live my life It's nothing but a love song I'm trying to sing to you But you make it so hard to get through It's nothing but a love song I'm trying to pass your way But you won't let me have my say It's been falling apart right in front of our eyes Who made mistakes? Who told the lies? Oh yeah, I guess we know To put it all aside, its not about blame Its about a choice that you've got to make Oh yeah, what you going to do? If I were you I'd make a move quite soon At this point we dance to different tunes It's nothing but a love song I'm trying to sing to you But you make it so hard to get through It's nothing but a love song I'm trying to pass your way But you won't let me have my say

Letters To Rachel 04:27
lyrics
I send letters to Rachel When things are on my mind She is patient, she is kind I send letters to Rachel To get things off my chest She knows better, she knows best She's older than me Maybe she can teach me something new We walked by the sea Maybe we can start on something new I think I'd like to I get letters from Rachel I think she's feeling low Just want to tell her that I know I get letters from Rachel Both had a rough time I know her's, she knows mine She's older than me Maybe she can teach me something new We talked by the sea Maybe we can start on something new I think she'd like to I get letters from Rachel Who knows where they'll lead We'll just have to wait and sea She's older than me Maybe she can teach me something new We walked by the sea Maybe we can start on something new We talked by the sea Maybe she can teach me something new We kissed by the sea Maybe we can start on something new Are we going to?

Not Wait An Age 04:13
lyrics
There's a ceiling that each idea hits then it falls stone dead to stay idle instead I've a feeling a marker has been crossed that's waited too long now its time to move on Want to send you a message just to let you know This thing's for real, it's not for show Someone's filling your head with things you don't need to know It's time I set you straight girl I just want to sit you down and wash away this sea of sadness We really need to do this now not wait an age Double meanings confuse me everyday and I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say Though your hearing you don't listen to the words and what starts as fact ends up abstract Want to send you a message just to let you know This thing's for real, it's not for show Someone's filling your head with things you don't need to know It's time I set you straight girl I just want to sit you down and wash away this sea of sadness We really need to do this now not wait an age

Outside Of An In-Joke (free) 03:47
lyrics
download
I find myself in a room of fools And I don't really fit, I wonder what I'm doing So I search around, look for an excuse to leave They chat away but I don't hear I word And then I'm struck down by a rising mirth And whatever's just been said's gone over my head I'm on the outside of an in-joke I'm nodding my head but its just a token gesture I don't get these jesters I watch them falling, laughing, reeling They're slapping my back but I can't disguise the feeling I don't get the meaning Laughter continues and I silently wait For this to moment to pass, for my discomfort to abate But then the giggles get a second wind and off we go again I'm on the outside of an in-joke I'm nodding my head but its just a token gesture I don't get these jesters I watch them falling, laughing, reeling They're slapping my back but I can't disguise the feeling I don't get the meaning

Exit Wound 03:56
lyrics
Nothing's for certain, well that's for sure But I stopped laughing when she slammed the door I laughed no more I tried to keep up with your ever changing heart Pushing and pulling it tears me apart Monday morning, a stranger's room Christmas day in a hotel room She's gone too soon Now I'm not doing fine, I'm doing time Trying to shake her from off my mind There is no drink or pill that I ain't tried Somewhere inside that I might hide Nothing's for certain, well that's for sure But I stopped laughing when she slammed the door I laughed no more Now I'm stuck here in this stranger's room Feels like I'm living in a waiting room If she comes back it will not be too soon She's gone, and left me with an exit wound I'll make you love me, make you miss me, make you want me all the time

Signs Of Life 06:03
lyrics
Recurring dream studied silent Prevents much needed sleep I watch the hours pass slowly by me Attention starts to seep like December thaw Rising pollen, burning iris Sinus starts to itch We're lying low so they don't find us These idiots they rule like an errant child Will the last one standing turn the lights out when we sink? Give me, give me signs of life - perhaps a nod or just a twitch When your time is coming it seldom happens as you think So give me, give me signs of life cause I don't want to watch your dying kick At this moment you can test my faith At this moment you can test my shape Will the last man standing turn the lights out when we sink? Give me, give me signs of life - perhaps a nod or just a twitch When your time is coming it seldom happens as you think So give me, give me signs of life cause I don't want to watch your dying kick At this moment you can test my faith Acid moment you can stretch my shape At this moment you can test my faith
