Give Yourself A Moment
02:58
|

Give yourself a moment,
Collect your thoughts,
I think there's something you forgot,
You're wasting time now,
Don't take too long,
For if you do then I will just move on,
If it's too much for you,
Then walk away (walk away)
There's nothing else that we can say,
If you still want me then you're too late (you're too late)
These shorter moments bought you a long wait,
You had your moment,
Of scrambled thoughts,
I think there's something you forgot,
But you can't have me, Oh no,
'Cause you're too late,
These wasted moments bought you a long wait,

North By North-South
03:11
|

Stole away from home,
Set out to make them see,
The trees are softer here,
Made to bear the leaves,
(Northern Neck) he's bound to love and hold,
(His blood and bones) were sewn to match the cold,
Southern Ground,
He's bound to miss,
It's where his heart is at.
And it ain't no shame (no no)
It ain't no shame (no no)
Who's to blame, who's to blame?
Southern Yankee's in a northern game,
The streets are thinner here,
To hold the dreamers back,
They pack them tightly near,
A well no pennies lack,
(Toss them gently) and see them realign,
(Find the bottom) where are the dreamers lie,
To miss the ground,
Sounds foolish within itself,
But I'll never trade for the north,
And all its wealth,
And it ain't no shame (no no)
It ain't no shame (no no)
Who's to blame, who's to blame?
Southern Yankee's in a northern game,

Moving On
04:29
|

I wish I knew,
Just what it is about you,
'Cause now that we're through,
I'm gonna find another to pursue,
*Chorus*
What did I love about you?
Was it something you are,
Or something that you do?
I'm gonna find what we had,
And I want it to be true,
I'm gonna find, and I'm gonna find it in,
Someone that's new,
What was so special about hold you to my chest?
You think it wouldn't be the same with any of the rest,
You might be good girl, but you're certainly not the best,
I can find the same, plus a little zest.
*Chorus*
"Here we are. For one night only. The Figures!"
*Bridge*
*Chorus*

She Waves Goodbye
03:07
|
|||
And then she waves goodbye,
Knowing that love never dies,
Bound to emotion so frivolously,
Gesture so simple and soothing let's me,
Know that wherever she is,
I'm never truly alone,
And when she's here,
Running her hands through my hair,
Both of us learning how close love can be,
Wondering when one us has to leave,
'Cause it's never too long,
Before she waves goodbye,
Before she waves goodbye,
Knowing that love never dies,
Bound to emotion so frivolously,
Gesture so simple and soothing let's me,
Know that wherever she's near,
I'm never truly alone,
And when she's gone,
Running through days all too long,
Both of us yearning to keep love alive,
Wondering when one of us will arrive,
'Cause it's always too soon,
Before we wave goodbye.

Girl,
Tell me when the sunrise sets,
Behind the fiery lines,
And when your peaceful sleeping mind,
Rests for one more time,
Girl,
Get it all out on the floor,
Put it to the sinking sands,
To swirl and whirl and whirl,
As the hourglass fills,
You toss and you twirl,
*Chorus*
Anything less than everything is too little,
Anything less than everything is too little,
For me,
And girl,
Take me by the hand,
Lay your body next to me,
Just one more time,
And when I stand to leave,
Please stay behind,
Stay forever this time,
Girl,
Give it all to the wind,
Spill it out it in jagged form,
Cause the rougher the tears,
The better off you'll be,
Don't you know we gave it a whirl,
*Chorus*

Loss Of My Composure
02:32
|
|||
I got the bills racking up in the page,
Love dying out in a rage,
Dog's barking loud in his cage,
And it's another justifiable loss of my composure,
I borrowed out to pay my expenses,
No one's gonna float me when rent's in,
The judge took away my defenses,
It's another justifiable loss of my composure,
*Chorus*
Trying to make ends meet,
When both ends are a thousand feet apart to be mended back,
And it's another justifiable loss of my composure,
She left me with a frozen expression,
She shrugged off a plea for affection,
I offered her my only confession,
It's another justifiable loss of my composure
*Chorus*

Skeleton Man
03:34
|
|||
If you glare right at the flesh
You're sure to hit the bone
Why must we pass so cautiously?
And act like no one's home
His brittle stance on living,
Keeps him standing alone
Skeleton man, skeleton man
Has to believe that his flesh is damned
Skeleton man in a skeleton home
Thinks that he's hiding and he's all alone
Think all he wants to but his body is gone
And what we see is bone
Lovers beware of holding on
His grasp will always fail
Let us take care in letting go
His touch will soon grow stale
Our subtle hold from giving
Turns his skin to pale
Skeleton man, skeleton man
Has to believe that his flesh is damned
Skeleton man in a skeleton home
Thinks that he's hiding and he's all alone
Think all he wants to but his body is gone
And what we see is bone

How's It Gonna Be?
02:44
|
|||
Taking inventory,
Of moments passing by,
I shuffled through the pages
To finally realize,
How it's gonna be,
Holding back a truth,
That's too hard to define,
It's time to roll the dice,
It's a gamble for your time,
So how's it gonna be?
*Chorus*
I walk the faded lines
That led me to believe,
And I'll take a little time,
To tread more carefully,
And though the subtle signs,
And insecurities,
They make me wonder,
How's it gonna be?
Time floats softly by,
Haven't slept a wink,
And as I lay alone,
All I do is think,
Yeah, that's how it has to be,
Yeah that's how it's gonna be,
So how's it gonna be?
So how's it gonna be?
So how's it gonna be?
So how's it gonna be?
How's it gonna be?
How's it gonna be?

About Her
04:55
|
|||
It's tough to tell what's on your mind
when the backlights casting your shadow on the shorter side of the line
You gave me every hope
And left your world a little smaller than it was before
Burning through the light beyond its empty
Shaking off the tears on 64
Parking her car near the guardrail
She takes a leap towards the stars
Crossed her hands, then her heart
And made her peace with the end that she bought
It's hard to judge when to stop
with both hands pushing you forward while your feet are tied to the block
You'd trade dreams for a chance
to wrap yourself in a colder comfort and a light romance
Burning through the light beyond its empty
Shaking off the tears on 64
Parking her car near the guardrail
She takes a leap towards the stars
Crossed her hands, then her heart
And made her peace with the end that she bought

Trina's Song (If You...)
02:48
|
|||
I sit here waiting,
To here from you,
'Cause I need to know,
What you're up to,
You still around,
Or have you gone,
Were you strong enough to see the dawn?
Well you told me,
That you tried,
But you're still here,
And the tears they haven't dried,
You know I meant it all,
When I said I'm on your side,
I just couldn't take it,
If you...
What does the silence mean?
It could mean nothing that is true,
But you've got me scared, and thinking,
Oh, what did you do?
If I could just hear something,
To know that you're still here,
We could face whatever haunts you,
But this is my one fear...

She Takes Her Time
02:58
|
|||
I must be mad,
But I don't mind,
She's looking at me,
And taking her time,
All my thoughts aside,
I can't look past,
She's got me tied,
I'm her's at last,
*Chorus*
Well she's a woman,
(She takes her time)
Well she's a woman,
(I'm losing my mind)
Well she's a woman
(She does what she can)
And I'm her man,
And I understand,
Then across the room,
I let her know,
She hands me my coat,
And says "Let's Go",
*Bridge*
Out for a smoke,
Pass her a book,
She gives me the look,
Rush for a cab,
One last drag,
Off to her flat,
*Chorus*
Once we arrive,
It's time for be,
"Thanks" at the door,
Is all she said,
*Chorus*
And I understand...

Ballad Of The Wind
06:29
|
|||
There she was...
Lying in the darkness of my room,
Now she's gone,
And took with her all that she could,
It wasn't much,
She left a tear,
I keep it close so I can see her,
But when I look,
I see her eyes though their disguised,
It's snowing out,
It's so cold out,
She's so far away
I miss the way,
Her flowing hair would gently lay,
Upon her breast,
The candle light clothed all the rest,
But that was yesterday,
I won't fall,
I won't fall for you,
I won't fall,
I won't fall for you,
It's in the way she holds my hand,
No one else would understand,
But that was yesterday,
I won't fall,
I won't fall for you,
I won't fall,
I won't fall for you,
She is gone,
And sent her love here with the wind
