Give Up

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

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
|
|

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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|

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
|
|
||
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

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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
