Most of the days I keep sitting on my shelf Emotions get away from when I’m sitting by myself You got the best of me and now I know just why If I’m ever gonna run I will only sit and cry If you hold love in the palm of you hands (There’s no rest for me and you) Why ask why to understand Help me play won’t you? I spend most of my time on my own If you know the way to me won’t you bring it on home I’ve spent enough of my time all alone Hope you know the way to be when I’m all alone If you hold love in the palm of you hands (There’s no rest for me and you) Why ask why to understand Help me play won’t you? She’s been listening Hell bent on lies They’ve seen enough of me Now I know why Helps only gonna come Once in a while Help me won’t you See while I lie If you hold love in the palm of you hands (There’s no rest for me and you) Why ask why to understand Help me play won’t you? Should’ve known better what you held in your hands If you gotta ask you’ll understand…hey Should’ve known what you had Never mind if you are band Never say anything to anyone ever again Help me won’t you Help me if you can I wanna try Should’ve known what I had Should’ve never ever been bad Should’ve lied Should’ve never cried Should’ve been happy Should’ve always been happy I should’ve never lied I should’ve never cried I should understand what I’m having Help me play…won’t you?

House At The End Of The World 03:47

Do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do Jenny sits all alone And she waits for the one With a hand full of charm She will bring back the sun She's been waiting inside at her house at the end of the world Alone... Alone... She sees vision of futures, but not of her own And she cries when she thinks of her empty home She's been waiting inside at her house at the end of the world Alone... Alone... End of the world Alone... Alone... End of the world Do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do fo do Jenny sits And she hope for a knock at her door For a saviour, a king Or someone to adore She's been waiting inside at her house at the end of the world Alone... Alone... She sees vision of futures but not of her own And she cries when she thinks at her empty home She's been waiting inside at her house at the end of the world Alone... Alone... End of the world Alone... Alone... End of the world Do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do How will you ever see the end to this is you never leave? This little house you hide inside, This little house that you keep You say You'll never feign this distance from this house on a hill You know it makes you cry and covers you and holds back the wind How will you ever meet the one who could bring back the sun? You live inside yourself And now this house is the only one

Catch Me If You Can 03:50

Watch if you will Someone's coming after me Over something I said And now I have to leave It's cruel mean world That loves a dead girls words I'm there to entertain you Haven't you heard Catch me if you can I'm not going down that easy Sure that somehow I can save myself You've heard it all before I swear you must believe me Only you hold the power to heal me Don't hide Don't lie Don't give them the run around Don't turn from the cameras As the crowd settles down Be sure to feel your feet on the smooth hard ground It's the only thing that keeps you up As they turn on the TV sound Catch me if you can I'm not going down that easy Sure that somehow I can save myself You've heard it all before I swear you must believe me Only you hold the power to see me As their faces close in I'll pretend that they're not there Nobody can really tell that I'm laughing inside here And my best defense Is a good run at an offense At least they'll remember 15 minutes of my presence Saying Catch me if you can I'm not going down that easy Sure that somehow I can save myself You've heard it all before I swear you must believe me Only you hold the power to heal me

Heaven Have I told you lately That I love you I just haven't found the words perfect enough This is beautiful Angel baby To love someone the whole way through It could so nice Listening to loves' advice It could be like heaven In its own right Surrounded in his arms at night All the words coming out right Telling me that everything is gonna be alright This is new to me It's amazing See I've been hurt worse than you But it's not worth wasting a single moment So I keep on trying to trust the way you do It could so nice Listening to loves' advice It could be like heaven In its own right Surrounded in his arms at night All the words coming out right Telling me that everything is gonna be alright

Love Sweet love Watches over me from the heavens above When I'm lonely and I've had enough Shaking my fist at a world that isn't measuring up When I'm questioning all the answers Wondering what is real Real What's it mean to be real Truth is different for all of us sitin here But if there's one thing that stands alone It's the love you share with someone That makes everything strong Stop questioning all the answers Wondering what is real Stop questioning all the answers Tell me how you feel Sing Holy Sweet talkin angel are you lonely Gather me up and whisper slowly I wish me well tonight Stop questioning all the answers Wondering what is real Stop questioning all the answers Tell me how you feel Holy Sweet talkin angel are you lonely Gather me up and whisper slowly I wish me well tonight If A fool and his pride ain't parted Very quickly for his life Then fear will only surround him He'll only slip and slide Permanents that answer It is written all around If you don't tend to yourself You're only gonna drown So don't you do it Love yourself and just get through it All those promises, promises, promises Reach them Keep them Don't you settle for less Stop questioning all the answers Wondering what is real Stop questioning all the answers Tell us how you feel Sing Holy Sweet talkin angel are you lonely Gather me up and whisper slowly Wish me well tonight

They say life gets better after change I just don’t know But I guess I’m going to find out I’m not afraid That’s something I’ve left behind It has no place Where I am going Singing, time’s gonna bring me (watchful eyes) Something new (never go to sleep) Whether or not (wondering) I want it to (where is my soul to sleep) The most I can do (watchful eyes) Is take just one step (never go to sleep) The rest doesn’t matter (wondering) Not Yet (where’s my soul) Believe you me I understand hard hard times When everything you thought was true All falls away The reasons are clear But the picture ain’t comin through You find yourself on your knees Praying like you never thought you’d do Singing time’s gonna bring me (watchful eyes) Something new (never go to sleep) Whether or not (wondering) I want it to (where is my soul to sleep) The most I can do (watchful eyes) Is take just one step (never go to sleep) The rest doesn’t matter (wondering) Not Yet (where’s my soul) They say life gets better after change I just don’t know But I guess I’m going to find out I’m not afraid That’s something I’ve left behind It has no place Where I am going Singing, time’s gonna bring me (watchful eyes) Something new (never go to sleep) Whether or not (wondering) I want it to (where is my soul to sleep) The most I can do (watchful eyes) Is take just one step (never go to sleep) The rest doesn’t matter (wondering) Not Yet (where’s my soul)

Hope 06:31

Bottles and pills Powder the hill Little boys cry They can’t do what they will Surrounded by friends Or what they think fits the bill It’s sad sad Sinister Gina sheen Innocent yet mean You were just dumb enough To give her what she needs Don’t look at me Cause I’d have asked you heed All mass destruction Hope roll me on over With the back of your hand Hope won’t you come over Stand in the door light Maybe hold my hand Shouts and screams Give us the scene Cool as you want it Fake like a dream I will admit That I used to think It was almost everything Hipsters and style Pass after a while I hope when you look back You’re wearing a smile Chances are you going to carry a heartful Of fine fine bitterness Hope roll me on over With the back of your hand Hope won’t you come over Stand in the door light Maybe hold my hand Hope Won’t you come out and play me Save me Hope Won’t you rest my eyes today Won’t you do what you say Say what you mean I guess you tried But you just couldn’t deal I like to think that I like to feel Almost everything This was my sad miss mystery But you can kiss my ass I won’t miss this This is my fine bitterness Hope roll me on over With the back of your hand Hope won’t you come over Stand in the door light Maybe hold my hand Won’t you hold my hand Don’t you wonder how it’s gonna be Sitting round with all your memories So many questions have gone unanswered It was silly when you asked If I was angry at the act How could I feel anything but sadness What a waist and mystery Two lovers hoping to be Without responsibility Don’t you wonder how it’s gonna be Sitting round with all your memories So many questions have gone unanswered

Invitation 04:56

I sat by the sea Waging war with my misery You came along and changed everything Now I can see Life's pleasures waiting for me Everything looks different To me There's an invitation Coming over me To change my life The way I want it to be No I know how many times it's gonna take for me fall Before I get it That every time I go and make a choice without my heart I will always regret it There's an invitation Coming over me To change my life The way I want it to be I sat by the see Holding hands with my destiny Arms wide open Fearing nothing I had the choice Love was waving me in I could either choose to sink or swim There's an invitation Coming over me To change my life The way I want it to be

Out There Tonight 03:16
lyrics

Baby, it’s been getting late and you went crazy tonight All of us are wondering what is going on Inside your house tonight Baby, I don’t the reasons why you live this way But baby, Most of us are wondering what is out there tonight You don’t have to be so crazed Check inside yourself So you feel safe Help us if you can tonight With a little luck It will be alright I don’t know what goes on inside your mind Baby, don’t you see the pain is reaching all of us this night Even though you might only see the things in front of you for sure Barely are the reasons why Help us if you can to cry We don’t know the way out of our lives Baby, things will seem a little clearer Inside of morning light I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know What’s going on out there

Only Me 05:36
lyrics

I picked up the guitar to write this And I want the words to be priceless But I have a feeling they're just going to come out plain Cause I hear that voice again Talking like a friend Why are the songs all so sad Does it seem that way Do I seem sad today It's just whats rolling in my head It's only me that puts my heart ease And I am hoping there's a righteous path in front of me Always I've had in mind This dream of mine To play in some kind of band Maybe I'd sell some records Put out a couple tunes that I keep rolling in my head But it ain't be easy But some of it's be fun Mostly it's left me deaf, blind and dumb And regrets, I have a few But only one or two Not worth keeping in my head It's only me that puts my heart at ease And I am hoping there's a righteous path in front of me Sometimes I feel I've been at this way to long And then it rushes on in Sometimes I feel tired and not so strong

Catch my back I want to meet you on the ground Figure me bad and show me what you got Turn yourself around, crisscross and stitch Turn yourself away I'm sick of your shit All I know is I deserve better Better than you and your back and forth heart Better than a man, with no spine I'm better with someone who has got my back Better with a man who can see he's mine All I know is I deserve better You can see me trying to sing my song Music does me good and never done me harm Music is my kind of therapy If that scares you boy, better get away from me All I know is I deserve better
