There she is i can see her eyes across the room
I canfeel your tenderness I can sense your touch
you see me and smile I cannot move I can’t even breathe
all I do is stare at your lips with no defenses to stop myself
there’s nothing I can do but stand here wishing what could be
would be
I don’t want to think of you
I can't really say I wish we could find a way
that's all i can think about every day
destiny denied
destiny denied
I feel like I'm standing naked for you and i want to run and hide
I know you can see my eyes they give away what's deep inside
I wanna get caught alone feel the air get fuzzy and tight
when I grab you in my arms and you whisper it's alright
I don’t want to think about you
I can't tell you how I feel
I thought I could handle it OK
until I saw your face to day
destiny denied
destiny denied
I don't want to dream about you
oh god I'm way to scared to say "Gillian
I wish that we could find a way, until then come what may."
destiny denied
destiny denied
I don't wanna think about

A coffee and a sofa
I study in public and watch your life unfold
everything’s a buzz around us
a career or so I’m told
he doesn’t care, shows his distaste in public
I never would go there
everything is cold around you
and I do is stare
This time of year can be so cruel for me and you
A coffee and a notebook
I’m educated Mr Cool and so suave
I try to seem to distant
but I hear every word you say
it seems to easy to convince myself I’d just be in your way
and as the tears grow in your eyes
you’re gone
This time of year can be so cruel for me and you
Your eyes covered in love’s disguise
but I still recognize a wounded girl
The hours have passed by
another chapter is read and left behind
these useless facts control me
but they’re the last thing on my mind
I don’t look forward to my walk home
I walk the cold alone
you’re left to his warm car
and all those broken bones
Your eyes covered in love’s disguise
but I still recognize a wounded girl
this time of year can be so cruel…

Waiting For A Whisper
03:01
|
|||
|
everything green has gone away
when I had so much more to say
and I think back to yesterday
no time to turn away
let me hear you whisper you live me
now I know who you are
now I know just what you mean to me
I walk alone with you
we've got nothing left to do
I'll never fall for you
until I hear those words so true
let me hear you whisper you love me
now I know who you are
now I know just what you mean to me
we'll always wonder if we can
but will you ever understand
hold your heart out to this man
I'll fall for it again
let me hear you whisper you love me

standing out in the rain shivering from the cold
I close my eyes to the windy sky
feeling 43 years old
it's been so long since I felt this way
or maybe I always did
and I just can't fight it with you
I'm going to risk it all and say "The hell with him."
listen this is hard for me 'cos I've always been so strong
and when you drop me off again tonight
I'll know I can't bear it on my own
what I'm trying to say - will you sleep with me?
don't leave me here alone tonight
what I'm trying to say - will you sleep with me
don't leave me alone anymore
on paper it would never work
we couldn't be more different
but look at us tonight again
could we be anymore the same?
just look into my eyes and admit it all
you know a smile from you makes me feel 9 feet tall
let's forget everything throw the present and past away
so I have no pain, you have no man
we have nothing but us today
I'm trying to say - will you sleep with me?
don't leave me here alone tonight
what I'm trying to say is will you sleep with me
don't leave me alone anymore
you've got it made you've got nothing to gain but me
and having me would give you twice the love you've ever seen
I've starting over now I'm going dutch reborn at 23
I can't promise you but happiness so what are you waiting for?
I want you I need you baby
now what I'm trying to say is will you sleep with me?
don't leave me alone anymore

Nothing Without You
05:47
|
|||
|
i am cold
i am empty
i am nothing inside
nothing without you
nothing without anyone
i only find more emptiness
like god i am alone
i was hurt
i was wrong
wasting time
nothing without you
nothing without you
it’s getting darker and harder to breathe
something has to happen to me
where did you go?
where am i now?
just once more before the light fades away
twisting inside but i know you won’t stay with me
i can’t remember when i was warm
turn me away don’t live another day
without meaning
it’s snowing all around
melting down into the ground
am I dreaming?
i am nothing at all
i mean nothing to me without you
no one to hold me near
no one to drag me under here
now trapped alone my loving is waste
forget what you told me
don’t lie to my face
turn me away don’t live another day
without meaning
it’s raining all around
and i’m melting down into the ground
am i screaming?

Perfect

how can I tell you what I need?
I can’t even remember what it was I used to be
alone in my heart I stayso tell me, tell me, tell me that i’ve found a way
it would be perfect...
I must be crazy to try this again
I can’t even even remember how we got this far
hold me know, make the worldgo away
dead is heaven, dead is the sky except for one bright shining star
it would be perfect...
I look at the mess my life has been
sometimes I think i’m better off to just hide away from everyone
but tonight you held me close
so never, never, never ever let me go
please
it would be perfect
perfect in every way
perfect
perfect you and me today
perfect

i have a friend who keeps me warm
she makes me feel all buzzed inside
in the morning I love her she wakes me up
and then she keeps me up at night
I feel pumped I feel high and I cannot try
to exist without her I would surely die
this addiction it runs me into the ground
she makes me so nervous and tightly wound
sometimes she can be bitter that that's OK
she's so sweet when I'm feeling down
when I'm lonely and tired I trust in her
she's saved me more times than I can count
baby I want you
baby I need you now
to show me I'm in love tonight
baby I need you
baby I want you now
to share in my love tonight
she's the one who knows my need
I have no fear that she won't be there
in the future I'll come to depend on her
she might hurt me but I don't care
she's hot she's cold she's to have and hold
with one touch on her body I shine like gold
her names may change and so will the taste
but her drug is something I should never waste
so quiet and alone when she's there for me
when I need her she's strong
I hold her in my arms and she warms my heart
no one can tell me our love is wrong
baby I want you
baby I need you now
to show me I'm in love tonight
baby I need you
baby I want you now
to share in my love tonight

End
04:07
|
|||
|
go away
at the end of a beautiful day
i always felt so warm in your arms
but you could have been anyone
is there anything behind your eyes?
i’m not the one to save you
i’m out of favour with him too
a broken heart before we even start
when i look into your eyes
i can see what it is you mean to me
when i look into your heart
i can feel the end of you and me tonight
daydream’s reality
when i hate what’s in front of me
time is up time to move on
you don’t wanna feel down
break up the little world you’ve found
i would die for you and i don’t want to
we had nothing to say
then went for a drink and stayed in bed all day
it’s easy to fill the emptiness
it’s the life of the living dead
as we pour another glass
when i look into your eyes
i can see what it is you mean to me
when i look into your heart
i can feel the end of you and me tonight
go away
at the end of a beautiful day
when i look into your eyes
when i look into your heart

summer days are coming around wait and see
someday you’ll be southbound come and see
california republic
leave the small-town-let-me-down-again crowd behind forever
citywalk to santa barbara beach you and i together

someday when you get older summer nights on your shoulder
city air connects you to her one more time
california republic
you’re single and alone
regret and hope are all you have
but somehow everything’s better
when you’re soaking up culture on melrose ave.

Love Me If She Dance
04:19
|
|||
|
many years long ago it seems
we knew each other well
and even though we’ve been apart so long
to look it’d be hard to tell
day by day, year by year
I have to know - where did it go?
first you then me, then the rest of the world
you’d think we’d have nowhere else to go
babe I need to know
does it show?
when we’re dancing toe to toe together
it’s just me and you
until tomorrow
something always kept us close together
life kept us apart
even after all these years on our own
there’s still something here inside our hearts
I can see them staring at us
talking about us tonight
it feels like we’re in a big glass cage
and baby you’re centre stage tonight
babe I need to know
does it show?
to the outside world we know we're old friends
so let's play along until tomorrow
tonight you stood there
smiling and silent
looking deep into my eyes so hard I blushed
you told me I was dangerous
then you gave me a dangerous touch
babe I can’t let go
tonight I want more
but when apart we understand
in this life we’ll never know what we had in store
but do you let it show
that you love me so?
when we’re dancing all alone
there’s no one else that means more
until tomorrow
babe I need to know
does it show?
when we’re dancing toe to toe together
it’s just me and you
until tomorrow
babe I need to know
does it show?
to the outside world we know we're old friends
so let's play along until tomorrow

Long Day
03:18
|
|||
|
streetlights through the window
casting such strange shadows
you’re so still but i can’t sleep
i only want to leave
and everything feels so cold inside
so nearly out of time
another sin i must commit
i will give in to it
end of a long day
give me all your blame
end of a long day
i will accept all blame
too many seconds expire
fell my heart grow tired
sweet accusations you will state
infect me with your hate
and everything feels so cold inside
so nearly out of time
another sin i must commit
i will give in to it
end of a long day
give me all your blame
end of a long day
i will accept all blame
in time you will decide
all transgressions are mine
then only silence you will give
where harmful words should exist
and everything feels so cold inside
so nearly out of time
another sin i must commit
i will give in to it

Charity
02:55
|
|||
|
stare into an empty camera, watching it fall to earth
no compromise in her sweet eyes deciding what it’s worth
looking upwards she turns her back and never turns away
she stays the course with no remorse no matter what i say
no to another world
goodbye my perfect girl
oh i’d give up heaven for her affection
charity
ordinary and wonderful the future hers to hold
bend not breaking and hesitating she waits for her reward
confused and used left wondering no longer reality
eternity too long to wait to feel her next to me
no to another world
goodbye my perfect girl
oh i’d give up heaven for her affection
charity
nothing new just sit and wait and watch as she grows old
goodness comes to those who wait is what she’s always been told
nothing left but emptiness and things that might have been
now i’m leaving while she sits dreaming of lovers never seen
no to another world
goodbye my perfect girl
oh i’d give up heaven for her affection
charity
no to another world
goodbye my perfect girl
oh i’d give up heaven for her affection
charity

Say Nothing
03:18
|
|||
|
tickets came cheap for this
one little stolen kiss
you’re better than the rest
i think that i come next
take the move outside
the only death is mine
tied to the track
with my own regret
if it’s not me then it’s someone else
and it’s so easy to say nothing
it’s always easier to say
nothing
never be close to me
getting hard to breathe
only so much control
before things let go
could be our time
now i’m inside your mind
if you could only give yourself away
to me without shame
i am not stone
and if it’s not me then it’s someone else
oh it’s so easy to say nothing
it’s always easier to say
nothing

Don't Cry
05:25
|
|||
|
it never meant to be this way
we were the perfect ones
but I’m dead today
and when I turn around and see your smiling face
I can feel another broken heart again
please don’t cry
maybe you’ll be mine again
everyone can see but you
they just watch in silence
they know there’s nothing they can do
and when you close yourself and take away your hand
you leave behind a broken hearted man
please don’t cry
maybe you’ll be mine again
baby don’t you leave me
cause I can’t live without you
and you can’t live without me
no matter what you do
what will I do now?
you built me up for so long
just to rip it all away
just when I was so strong
all those years together
and promises you swore
are gone in one whisper
just like that you don’t love me anymore
I don’t have anything now
I don’t have anyone now
I don’t know anything at all
I don’t understand how
I don’t understand why
I don’t believe it - nothing will ever break my fall
except three words I’m longing to hear
and I know you want to say to me
I know you don’t believe me now
but I can read it in your eyes, it’s plain to see
please don’t ask me how I know cause I can’t say
but I can feel it inside - you’ll be back again someday
please don’t cry
baby you’ll be mine again
we’ve come so far
love shouldn’t have to be so hard
please don’t cry
maybe you’ll be mine again
if I believe...

Newport Beach

|
running on down our private beach
gazing through smoky eyes
any one mistake couldn’t last so late
or is she simply telling lies?
forget about the past
does something this good ever last?
and i just can’t seem to take this off fast enough
i just can’t seem to get close enough
everything moving on automatic
watch my fingers run through her hair
getting caught up in electro-magic
something dangerous but i don’t care
forget about the past
does something this good ever last?
and i just can’t seem to take this off fast enough
i just can’t seem to get close enough
wanting to tame the ocean and
promising another time
inside and out with no one else
as i charm her so sublime
forget about the past
does something this good ever last?
and i just can’t seem to take this off fast enough
i just can’t seem to get close enough
strumming so soft a whisper
secrets in the night sky
holding her close in eternal moments
feel the sweet of a naked sigh
forget about the past
does something this good ever last?
and i just can’t seem to take this off fast enough
i just can’t seem to get close enough
forget about the past
does something this good ever last?
and i just can’t seem to take this off fast enough
i just can’t seem to get close enough
