Talk…
Catch your eye, and I see you all the time,
In my sight, is a girl who feels alive,
All the time, you’re laughing in your life,
Same as me…
(but I) Can’t say the words, that describe how I feel,
And I’m scared if I do, that it won’t become real,
But I still have feelings…
(and) What will I do, if I say that I do,
And you don’t share the feelings that I have for you,
Will you still talk to me?
Lost for words, and I need three drinks to speak,
How absurd, but my knees are getting weak,
Hold my breath, you’ve taken it from me,
Once again….
Spin my head, with your personality,
Going red, and I know that you can see,
Right through me, your touch is heavenly,
Shivers me….
(and I) Know I can’t say what I really must say,
And the feelings inside me will not go away,
But I’ll wait here for you…
(and if) I make a fool of myself next to you,
Then I’m sorry for speaking what I call the truth,
But I’ll still talk to you,
I’ll still talk to you,
I’ll still talk to you,
I’ll still talk to you,
I’ll still talk to you…

Walls
It’s amazing what you see, just walking down the street,
Lights and windows, doors are closed, what’s behind do you suppose?
(And I said) What goes on behind those walls?
(And I said) Hey?
A thousand lives that I don’t know, all within one small row,
Houses stand like sentinel trees, dank and wet in the breeze.
People walk at the strangest times, have they performed serious crimes?
Or do they hold some lighter sin, like betraying one of their kin?
Secrets hide in sardine tins, never knowing what lies within,
Crowds of people glancing eyes, good or bad they’re holding lies.

Home…
When you laugh in your sleep,
I get the feeling that I know where your thoughts are,
It’s where you go in your dreams,
The only place that you hold in your heart…
There it is, there it is, there it is,
That sweet smell of home,
Take me back, take me back, take me back,
To the place that I belong…
And when you’re laughing on your phone,
I know that’s when you feel the least on your own,
I see the twinkle in your eye,
When you think of flying in the sky…
You’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go,
To the green isle that you call your home,
Find your smile, find your smile for a while,
And take it with you wherever you go…

Alethia…
I just can’t speak anymore,
What do I talk for?
Don’t have to talk to me, but I’ll speak the truth that I see…
I just wanna lend a hand,
And in my way I’ll be a man,
I know the truth can hurt but I’ll make it sweet if I can,
Oh Alethia…
You show me what to do,
When I haven’t got a clue what is right…
Oh Alethia…
You’re taking care of me,
Even though I cannot see all the time…
I just don’t know anymore,
What do I think for,
Don’t have to think of me but I’ll know the truth that I see…
I just wanna be a friend,
And if it falls then it will mend,
I know that it is hard but I’ll make it sweet if I can…
I just feel alive,
Taking each day at a time,
Don’t have to be with me but I’ll live the truth that I see…
I just wanna be around,
Through the ups and through the downs,
I know that it could work and I’d make it sweet if I can…

Happy
What would I be, if I didn’t laugh at everything?
What could I do if I didn’t write my songs and sing?
Who would I be, if enthusiasm walked away?
But this is me and I’m happy…
So I sing…. When I’m happy,
So I sing…. When I’m happy, when I’m happy…
Is there something wrong with being Mr nice guy?
Do I make mistakes when all I seem to do is try?
Does it scare you that a smile is on my face?
But this is me and I’m happy…
It’s not the best way to wear my sleeve upon my heart,
But it gets me through my life and that’s the most important part,
And I’m not gonna change the fundamental parts of me,
Cos’ I’m free and I’m happy…

Hope
Do you hear more than one voice?
Do they give you more than one choice?
Do they take away all your dreams?
So that nothing is quite as it seems?
So I’ve been there before,
And I know what you’re looking for.
I can try to explain,
If it takes forever and a day.
But it all comes down to this,
Use your heart and you will never miss.
When you find that you’re troubled so,
Remember that there’s always…..Hope.
Do you struggle for words to say?
Do you find yourself in dismay?
Do you want to scream your words at me?
To find a whisper’s all you hear?
Do you find it hard to decide?
Just where it is you should be?
Do you feel that you cannot win?
And that you don’t know what I think…

Love
Where do we go from here?
I need to know, where you go without me.
I want you to know something,
I love you so, and I miss you now more than ever.
And I love you…
And I love you…
I still think about you watching me,
And I see your eyes and I see your face within me,
I feel you around every corner,
Your guarding me, and protecting me forever.
I hurt everyday with your memories,
And it hurts like hell, and can’t you tell that I’m crying.
I love the pain I’m feeling,
And it goes away and it comes again to haunt me.
I think about the past, and the future,
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you.

Scared
Another amazing weekend, as you smile when you walk out the door,
And little did I suspect, I wouldn’t see you anymore.
Walkin’ by your side, I see that look in your eye,
Talkin’ in your dreams, and I know that you’re thinkin’ of me.
I’ve got to say, why did you runaway?
I’ve got to know, why did you get up and go?
I’ve got to see, why don’t you marry me?
Cos’ you’re too scared.
And I know you have a tear, as you lay on your own late at night,
It’s only been three years, since I made everythin’ alright.
And the dust has settled gently, as we learn and we grow from before,
But I’ve got to see you fighting, fighting for what you adore.
And I won’t go away, if you trust me like yesterday,
And we’ll be scared, but together for another day.

Shoes
Took a train down to Georgia just to see what was on my mind,
Got a harp in ma pocket so that I can sit and unwind,
Jack’s drinkin’ with me with a coke tight in his hand,
Have a smoke with a Cuban and I’m in a different land.
And I’m okay, take off ma shoes,
Just another case of the good time blues.
So I find myself a bar on the eastern side of town,
With a band tunin’ up and getting’ ready just to get down,
And Jack’s made it here with his friends all standin’ in line,
So my feet start tappin’ as ma neck reaches up to the sky.
A glance to the back and there’s a girl as cute as can be,
And for some stupid reason she’s stood lookin’ straight back at me.
So I take off my hat, give a smile and offer a drink,
So she sits down with jack and knocks him back before I can blink.
The band’s packed up and even Jack has gone home alone,
And this girls askin’ please could I trouble you for a lift home,
So we stroll in the dark until we hit a familiar sign,
And it’s in for a coffee in the bedroom so we can unwind.

Enemies
Where are you off to? Where is it next?
All you are proving, is you don’t know best.
Stay awhile, face the music,
You’ve got a head, learn how to use it.
I need to know now, just how this came to be… insanity,
Is this real? Have we come to be… enemies?
You know I’m here, for you anytime,
But don’t you look at me in that tone of voice.
Why did you say that, I had it made?
Did we have conversation, or is it all in my head?
Just spit it out boy, you know that it makes sense,
I can’t handle this now, it’s getting too intense.

Claustrophobic
Why do I feel the way that I do?
My heart is tense without you,
Anxiety is a killer for me,
I’m shaking all over, can’t you see?
I’m feeling claustrophobic,
I need to get out quick,
It’s getting too hot,
In this life that I have got.
I’m sweating like mad in here,
Though I’m sitting down,
And I’m not moving yet,
And I can’t help but frown,
Being taken for a ride,
And I just can’t hide,
How I feel for you,
There’s nothin’ I can do.
My head is swimming,
With thoughts about you,
And I don’t feel safe, no, no,
Do you feel this way to?
I’m in a spin,
Need a tonic and a gin,
To calm down my nerves,
I won’t speak a word, yeah.

Falling
Don’t know what to do,
Like you think I do,
Not sure what to say,
All the time but most of it.
And it feels like falling,
Falling from grace.
Decision time, don’t you know,
My time is mine I feel slow,
I guess it’s up to me,
Why’s this happening?
Control is nice, or so it seems,
Everlasting to extremes,
I don’t know what to do,
All the time but most of it.
And it feels like falling,
Falling from grace,
And it feels like dying,
Dying too late, dying too late…
