track 1

 

how much

 

i saw you today

you  were crossing the street

you looked so sweet

you always do

and on the other side

i had my arms open wide

you ran right into them

i kissed you again and again

 

how much should i tell you

just a thing i don't know

 

i'm going out of my mind

because you're so fine

i'm losing my head

and you're not blind

 

how much should i tell you

just a thing i don't know

 

i can hear that devil man

telling me i won't get my man, again

 

how much should i tell you

how much is enough

how much do you want to hear

how much would make you disappear

i don't know

these are things i don't know

 

i saw you today you were crossing the street

you looked so sweet

you always do

 

track 2

 

lose your fear

 

don't waste this beautiful evening

thinking about uncontrollable events

the past is the lesson

the future , it's not here

now is all you have

so hold yourself dear

 

you are here now

where you belong to be

lose your fear now

tomorrow can't be seen

 

let go of the habits

that rode you thru the land

they had their time

it's best to free your hand

breath in the characters

the fun and the love

happiness is everywhere

below and above

 

you are here now

where you belong to be

lose your fear now

tomorrow can't be seen

can't be seen

 

 

track 3

together


He tells her she’s cool


Sweet and a treat


She tells him he’s smooth


Delightful and neat


 


Oh together they learn


Life and it’s turns


Oh together they learn


The heart and it’s burn


 


He tells her he’s sorry


He didn’t mean those things


She tells him it’s ok


Because of the joy he brings


 


He winks at her


With adoring eyes


She blushes


And she looks down at her thigh


 


Oh together they learn


Life and it’s turns


Oh together they learn


The heart and it’s burn


 


track 4

 

tryin'

 

broomstick against the wall

candles burning

blue light down the hall

cat purring

 

i'm tryin'

i'm tryin' hard

do they know

do they care

i'm tryin' to stay unaware

 

a doll given to me

by a person i rarely see

pink shoes, 2 TVs

 

this is what i see

but these ain't the aches in me

i look around and i try to be

but instead i sit and think about me

 

i'm tryin'

i'm tryin' hard

do they know

do they care

i'm tryin' to stay unaware

 

why do i care

i'm tryin' not to care

 

 

track 5

 

breezy

breezy leaves and horns beepin

branches crash the windows

the sun shines it's glow

and all should start to flow

the blue in the sky

and it's overseeing eyes


today today

smile i say

sing if ya may

have fun today.


i give myself the talks

trying desperately

not to hurt

it's truth

it's learning

experience

so it's good

logically , i know this

i wish emotionally i could


when i get home

i feel much better

out of sight

out of my ears

home is less tears



breezy leaves.....


 


track 6


the move (is you)


looking for attention again
planning your next move
will you write a letter
will you change how you move
the answers are simple my friend
there are people all around picking up your signals
and laughing them into the ground

the move is you
to what you do
you love it all
yet you move slow
you move too slow

you see him all the time
nothing seems to change
that feeling in your chest
below eyes so wide
you play a game of i'm ok
the past is left behind

beneath the surface that's not true
beneath the surface you've lost your mind

reaching outside yourself
thinking he could save you
but that you must do
must do must do



 track 7


say it softly



say it softly

say it nice

ya know you have it in ya

you know

come on

roll the dice

 

that past is getting smaller

the future is under a beaming red sun

turning colors all the way

on the way to what you 'll become

 

keep it simple

keep it true

keep it honest

that's all you do

 

( repeat..)

 

 

track 8

 

oh please

 

what's been happening

how  ya been

i think of you

as i'm pushing thru

about this new girl

is she for you

do you know yet

i was wondering

 

'cause if you don't love her yet

oh please

hear me

 

so what's been going on

relationships, they're hard

is it what you hoped

or do you feel like a dope

 

it's not that i want you sad

i just want to kiss you so bad

and it's making me mad

and it's making me sad

 

so if you don't love her yet

oh please

hear me

 

so what's been going on

i'm still wondering

is she the one

and is my hope done

 

i'm glad we're friends

but i admit

i find i'm curious

is she passing your test

 

so if you don't love her yet

oh please

hear me

 

 

track 9

 

so long

 

that's where i am today

thinking about getting away

oh it's hard to pretend

hard to pretend

i'm beginning to see

i won't get you in the end

and it's hard to pretend

hard to pretend

 

so long my mate

i guess we'll never have that date

kiss and relate

 

i thought some things

i thought wrong

oh it's hard to pretend

hard to pretend

i want you to think

that i'm real strong

but it's hard to pretend

hard to pretend

 

so long my mate

i guess we'll never have that date

kiss and relate

 

those eyes

never tell

and that smile

turns me to gel

what went on

well it was summer

i was wrong

i love summer

 

so long my mate

i guess we'll never have that date

kiss and relate

kiss  kiss

so long,,,,,,so long

 

 

track 10

 

ties of yesterday

 

if that's who he's in love with

well then that's all right with you

you're not that

nor do you want to be

so there's no need for jealousy

 

let it go away

let it go away

ties of yesterday

 

she's beautiful

thin

infatuated with him

he's all fun

infatuated with her

 

it's nice when lovers meet

hard to watch under defeat

he looks at her in a way you recall

you nod

you smile

feeling completely small

 

let it go away

let it go away

ties of yesterday
