Sunday's Lullaby
04:50
|
|||
|
You could feel the storm coming
You could smell the rain before it fell
And the air was charged with lightning
The thunder told of the coming tale
I knew it was over before your bags were packed and gone
You would leave without saying and by morning you’d be gone
I cried all day Sunday hoping to find some solace in my tears
The rain against my window pane was the lullaby I needed to hear
I buried myself under the covers
Let the tears flow freely down my face
I picked up the phone but I made a different choice
Cause this lullaby it didn’t need your voice
All my friends tried to warn me
About the calm before the storm
Deep down I knew I should listen
For the truth I didn’t wanna hear
I ignored the storm around me thinking it wouldn’t bring us down
But I could feel the ground slipping from under
And balance was no where to be found
I wanna feel the rain, I wanna feel the pain
I wanna hear that sad lullaby
Cause it will get me to the other side

A Little While Longer
04:25
|

Just a little while longer let your fingers linger
A little while longer let your lips rest
A little while longer let me hold on
Just a little while longer let me stay in the moment
Oh a little, a little while longer
I don’t know how long you plan to stay
But each morning I’m hoping for another day
As I pour the coffee, I think I like the way
Mornings go when you are here and the smile on your face
I rest a little better, I smile little longer
My heart beats a little faster when I hear you say my name
And I don’t know if you realize
That all my hopes and dreams
Are caught up in your eyes
I keep waiting for you to say you’re mine
Cause I’m already your’s let’s waste no more time
I hope a little longer, I dream a little bigger
I breathe a little deeper, I hold on a little tighter
Let your lips rest, let your fingers linger
Oh a little, a little while longer baby

Second Place
04:51
|
|||
|
I know I’m not the one you want
But I’m the one you got
I know you’re thinking of her and not me
And in your heart she’ll always be
I wonder if there’ll ever be
A little place in there for me
In the night, I dream that you are mine
but dreams will fade with morning light
I placed my heart in your hands
But your’s is out of grasp
I wonder what you think of me
Holding out for something that may not be
So I wait, in hopes to fill her space
Then I’ll no longer take second place
That you’ll make room for me, room for me
Cause in my heart I want to be
The one you want, the one you need
I don’t know what she’s done to keep you there
Stuck between a love that's gone and one that’s here
And I wonder if you’ll ever see
All the love that's waiting here for you and me
And I wonder if you will ever see
She’s the one who left you and baby not me

Close to Me
03:37
|
|||
|
I’ve been driving far too long
Watching those lines fly by as I head on home
Cause I love spending all my time with you
I hope my sweet perfume is still stuck on you
I know it hasn’t been that long
But it feels like forever when I’m in your arms
And I still feel it like the day that we met
Oh the power of love when it fell on my chest
I want you close to me
Where our hearts and skin meet
And I feel your breath on my cheek
I feel your hands brush over me
I don’t retreat
I just want you close to me
I like the way you whisper in my ear
How my skin tingles when you pull me near
When you say those things that make me blush
I feel the fire ignite and I want you so much
I don’t like it when there’s distance between
Cause you and I belong
Within the same three feet
Yes we do

Gypsy Heart
03:45
|
|||
|
As I take in the river and I stare down the road
I know I’ll drive through some storms before I’m home
I wonder if they’re waiting and I wonder if they’re gone
I wonder if this is a place I can still call home
I’ve been gone so long
My gypsy heart has taken me to places I belonged
I know you don’t understand
Why I had to leave to find my own path
But this gypsy heart is coming home at last
I’ve traveled many miles and I’ve stood along the shores
My mind is full of pictures that my heart now calls home
I’ve met so many strangers I now call friends
I found my dreams were waiting at every trail’s end
I took you with me every place that I would go
I felt you hold me oh when life would bring me low
I hoped you knew I’d always find my way back home

Ray of Light
03:43
|
|||
|
I wonder when I’ll see you I want to more every day
I think I’m falling for you but I’m too afraid to say
You’re like a drug I need
Please, please, please don’t stay away
Whenever we’re together our flirting intensifies
Our touches linger a little longer each time
Look out heart I think I have a crush on you
You’re my little ray of light
The sunshine in your smile makes everything all right
You don’t even know I feel the way I do
Cause baby I keep playing all my silly games with you
Oh you are my little ray of light
My heart skips a beat thinking you’ve figured me out
Then I realize you’re missing all the signs
So it remains a mystery would I be the one you choose
Will it be a hug goodbye or a little kiss on the cheek
Unexpected twists and turns keep me guessing on my feet
Will you ever have the nerve to ignore the danger sign
Come on baby where we going with this
Are you ever gonna take the risk

Come Sit by Me
05:08
|
|||
|
Come sit by me
Tell me all your dreams
Over a glass of cab
We’ll become friends that last
Your smile entices me
As your hand brushes over my knee
I began to see
What draws you to me
As I sit here beside you
I dream of what I could do
Run my hand across your thigh
Kiss your lips and press-up against you
And hope that you can read my mind
As you talk I get lost
In the twinkle in your eye
And the glistening of your mouth
When you whisper in my ear
I just want to draw you near
It is getting late
But we were destined by fate
As you help me with my coat
I wonder where this will go
As you walk me to the car
Will it be your home or mine
I know there is something that I should say
But the words just come out all the wrong way

Her Own Strength
04:36
|
|||
|
She wasn’t even one years old
When you left her on her own
She could count on one hand
All the times she saw you in her past
She learned to live without you there
Not with bitterness or despair
She learned that love could be found elsewhere
And all her dreams did not have to end there
Out of brokenness comes mending
Out of loss comes strength
She learned her life didn’t depend on
The choices that you made
And she could go on in her own strength
It wasn’t always easy when she was a child
She fought through the issues
Created by the holes you left behind
As she grew older and stronger
Any need for you was left behind
Not to wound or to destroy
Just a part of life‘s journey left behind
She’s not responsible to help you
Make up for the choices of your past
You need to find your own way
To come to terms with what you left behind

Trapped
05:05
|
|||
|
I couldn’t see all the trouble you would bring
I just opened up and let you see all of me
Cause you were there and you took all that I bared
You crushed me before I knew what was happening
You read me like a book
And you caught me in your trap
You found my weaknesses and never looked back
Cause you whispered
All those things I needed to hear
You had me believing
I couldn’t live without you here
I fell so deep and low
And now there’s no place for me to go
And I’m stuck
And I cannot find my way out of this hole
At first we seemed to fit together so naturally
You made me feel safe in your arms
And you took all of me discarded it so easily
And I can't understand the indifference of your plan
Oh I sit here wondering
What broke you to make you treat me like that
I shouldn’t waste any more time on you

Croak
03:36
|
|||
|
I thought we'd be together forever you and I
Until you found a new love
And kept her out of sight
Now I’m not so sure of what to do
Your clothes are tossed across the lawn
A lit match will be their doom
I try to think of something nice to say
As you walk away
I hope that you don’t find true love
I hope you're cheated on
I hope that someone steals your car
I hope you’re always left with wanting more
I hope you get an STD
I hope that you smoke some bad weed
I hope you gamble all your money away
I really wish that you would croak
What did you think that I would do
When I found you and her in our bedroom
You best run and get far away from here
Before I lose my self-control
And there’s nothing left to lose
It’s probably a good thing
I don’t own a shotgun or two
And the lesson you should learn
Is not to underestimate
The woman who is really pissed
