Wedding Dress
So could you love this bastard child? Though I don’t trust you to provide With one hand in a pot of gold And with the other in your side ‘Cause I am so easily satisfied By the call of lovers so less wild That I would take a little cash Over your very flesh and blood
‘Cause I am a whore I do confess But I put you on just like a wedding dress And I run down the aisle, I run down the aisle ...

You Are Mine
Everyone has their obsession Consuming thoughts, consuming time They hold high their prized possession That defines the meaning of their lives You are mine There are objects of affection That can mesmerize the soul There is always one addiction That just can not be controlled You are mine

Heavy Heart
Unpacking boxes, lighter things went on top Down at the bottom all the things I forgot My heavy heart
Hard to empty Hard to carry up another flight All the time it takes to hold it right… My heavy heart

Shoeboxes
So I suppose you’ll be in every song I sing If not written in my words, you’ll be hidden in these strings Cause how could I ever forget my first love My first woman, first truth, first child from above But why do I hang onto your pictures Why have I not just thrown out that dress Cause it kills me to see you, but it kills me not to It kills me to remember, oh and it kills me to...

Ungodly Hour
And I am short on words knowing what’s occurred She begins to leave because of me Her bag is now much heavier I wish that I could carry her But this is our ungodly hour

Broken Bones
One fine day you’ll sing Your inevitable love song Inevitable lie song Inevitable cry song Time bends broken bones Time bends broken bones ‘Til they wrap around your throat And snap around your fingers This is a story ‘bout the three of us Down by the water and the tide is rising This world is burning and I’m terrified I need a little more time with you, oh

Our love was just one of your discarded jewels You think back to its price and oh you feel a fool But in that certain light, it looked so beautiful

Break Free
I’ve seen many places, fine women and wine, But through the course of my days it’s often yours on my mind. And it hurts me so, to see you so intertwined, For that man you’re with is gonna’ make you lose your mind Break free, my lady, come live here with me, If insight serves me right then it’s time that you by my side. Want you by my side.
Through all the bumps in the road Til’...

I lost all of my vanity when I peered into the pool I lost all of my innocence When I fell in love with you I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here Where all of my wounds they turned into gold when I kissed your hair

Keep It Lose, Keep It Tight
I’m in love with a girl, Who’s in love with the world, Though I can’t help but follow. Though I know some day, She is bound to go away, And stay over the rainbow. Gotta learn how to let her go. Over the rainbow. Sometimes we forget who we got, Who they are. Oh, who they are not. There is so much more in love, Than black and white.

You and Me
It’s been a real long time since I seen you girl It’s been a real long time in another world Well I got scars to prove that I don’t need you But my heart knows that I always do ‘Cause you and me Can never be We’re forever leaving You and me
And I couldn’t tell you what I needed But it’s hard to speak when you’re barely breathing Does it take a...

Forever
Not talkin’ ‘bout a year No not three or four I don’t want that kind of forever In my life anymore Forever always seems to be around when it begins but forever never seems to be around when it ends So give me your forever Please your forever Not a day less will do From you
People spend so much time Every single day Runnin’ ‘round all over town ...

There is a Light That Never Goes Out
And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Old dust, old dirt, they’re mine and only mine I’m just some mortal, you are so divine You control the game without playing it right Raise high in me what once did sink below All dark within now radiantly glows Come on take me back all that time ago Our love was just one of your discarded jewels You think back to it’s price and oh you feel a fool But in that certain...

A hundred thousand words could not quite explain So I walk you to your car and we can talk it out in the rain And we are leaving some things unsaid And we are breathing deeper instead

First Day of My Life
Yours was the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I’ve been But I know where I want to go So I thought I’d let you know That these things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized how I need you And I wondered if I could come home

I Don't Buy It
I can’t swallow fake Give it to me straight I don’t buy it Today I threw away every book I own Today I pulled the cord from my telephone Today I put my foot through the TV set Today I didn’t smile at a soul I met Today I drove my car till the motor died Today I left my front door open wide

Pink Tulips (Just Not Today)
We were married in the winter Just a small affair drawn up on a note But your fingers were gentle as the falling snow Brushing confetti from my coat I sang the night a love song Which entertained the guests We drove away at the break of dawn You had a babe upon your breast

This Morning Blue
Woke up next to you this morning blue Your eyes they open so slow To the things they did not want to see And, lord, I’m praying that it wasn’t me You say you love me sometimes I say I love you way too much You got a different way of showing things And now knowing you is killing me The only thing I know is true Is when I close my eyes at night The only thing I see is you And I believe...

A Bird in Your Hand
when I put my arms around you I mean it when I’m too drunk to stay up with you I mean it when I slam doors ‘cause I’m pissed at you I mean it when I put on a suit and say “I do” I mean it you know what you are to me don’t make me say it over and over again

Late Last Night
Days will come when I’ll miss you some And I’ll pray to God to have you back home But I will not move, I’ll just watch you fly away And I will dream a thousand scenes Where I will watch come to me No, but I will not move, I’ll just watch you fly away.
Late last night, I was holding you tight And I blinked my eyes, and you were in flight.

Let Me Die In Your Arms
Babe you’re all I dream about, and all I’m hoping for You gave me your spare key, now I can’t find the door Yeah I think that we should get away, the world is ours to ignore Just say the word, and we’ll be gone
Let me die in your arms Let me drown in your charms Let’s get married and buy ourselves a farm Oh let me die in your arms

The Calculation
So we made the hard decision And we each made an incision Past our muscles and our bones Our hearts were little stones Pulled ‘em out they weren’t beating And we weren’t even bleeding As we lay them on our granite counter top We beat ‘em up against each other We beat ‘em up against each other We struck ‘em hard against each other We struck ‘em so...

Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes I’m still running You broke the bonds And you loosened the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Oh my shame You know I believe it But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
