Melt

Posted over 3 years ago

I’d give up all my tomorrows
Reach back for my yesterdays
As all my memories lie there
I can’t throw any of them away
I don’t make miracles happen
Or make wishes when a star dies
I just know you will come back
Since you never did say goodbye

Chorus:

And someday, your cold soul
Will melt right into my hand
That will be when you open up
And choose to understand
Instead of walking away
I’ll melt that frozen hea…

I Owe It All To You

Posted over 3 years ago

As you chase sleep from your bedroom
I’m sitting up to think tonight
Of what we have, of what we need
And of how empty I would feel
If I didn’t have you in my life

Chorus:

Cause you and I own it all
Stars in the sky, rain that falls
Whether polished or now broken
And all we wished to come true
Are happening because of you
Truer words have never been spoken
When I say I owe it all to you

I don’t know what t…

Get Over You

Posted over 3 years ago

This house just feels so empty
But these walls have become my friends
I try not to tell them the truth
Still it comes back to haunt me again

I said I’d never live it down
If I had to waste another moment on you
And I swore to live with lies
If it meant forgetting the truth

Chorus:

So tell me what’s it going to take
To get you out of my mind?
To keep you out of my life?
To pick myself up and get over you…

Stone

Posted over 3 years ago

And so…
So it goes
Just like any story told
Of how one heart turns to stone
No one
No one ever is to blame
They both took part in the game
And they all turn to stone

There’s no happily ever after
When you reach the final chapter
You wonder where it all went
No one is going to be saved
No road to redemption is paved
Your time wasn’t well spent

But then…
Then you open up
Because you can’t enough
Though your heart…

Good Feel So Bad

Posted over 3 years ago

I don’t want to spend another minute
Dreaming of what should be
I don’t want to dig any deeper
Into my cuts or I’ll bleed
All I know is that it’s over
You weren’t worth being in my life
So tell me how, tell me why
I’m longing for you tonight

Chorus:

I’m far away from you
And I know I will be fine
Why long for what I’ve never had?
I made out and I’m free…

Earth and Sea

Posted over 3 years ago

When the nighttime falls
Your eyes blinded by my stars
Through it all, you see the way
That shows me where you are
Put your hand in my heart
Put my soul in your hand
And across the ocean between us
Let your waves touch my sand

Chorus:

I let you walk on my earth
You let me drown in your sea
I took all you had to offer
You’ve had everything from me

The morning light dawns on us
We shake the sleep from our eye…

On Your Side

Posted over 3 years ago

Baby, oh baby, your memory
Running through my veins
Flip the switch inside
And drive me insane
Take me, come take me
Wipe tears I never cried
Find me a hole where
I can live in and hide

Chorus:

You’ve got a way
of twisting the truth
You’ve got a way
to make it all brand new
You’ve got a way
To get me on your side

Darling, yeah, my darling
Addicted to your drug
I’m taking it all in stri…

Not Your Only One

Posted over 3 years ago

You said you were sleeping alone
When I called you up yesterday
I heard that tone in your voice
As you tried to get me away
I heard someone else speak
A voice I didn’t know before
I guess you decided it was time
To even up the score

Chorus:

But I’m not your only one
No, I’m not your only one
I can’t be your only one
When she’s at your door

If this is real, what’s to hide?
It’s not like I won’t find out
I’ve …

Jaws of Lust

Posted over 3 years ago

You standing in the corner
Cigarette clamped between your lips
You give me that evil eye
Got me dancing on your fingertips
Buy me a drink when I come
Pull me in with that good old charm
Whisper to me with cold breath
Swear to me that you’ll do no harm

You’re a sadist who likes the pain
And you like turning me insane
You’re a devil walking this ground
You turn me out and spin me around

Chorus:

You’ve got me…

To Chase You Down

Posted over 3 years ago

My hands are tied down
The weight’s around my feet
Just another sign to give in
And just admit my defeat
This water is too deep
For me to make it to shore
I want to swim to you now
But I can’t reach you anymore

Chorus:

Over my head, out of my mind
Tell me why I’ve wasted time
Trying to chase you down
Far from light, close to dark
Tearing the seams of my heart
Wanting to chase you down
Tell me what more can I …
