Not In Love

You got me in a mess. 

The words we speak are not enough for you I guess.

You had me for one night.

But your not part of me.

 

I’m sorry.  I’m not your clover.

And you won’t find out cause you’re so green.

When you wake up it will all be over.

And what you taste is, not what it seems.

I’m not in love.

 

You got me in your heart.  You live without a name in me but still you are. 

Important to me life, you’re not part of me.

 

Only love will give you more than you see here.

You’re telling me that I’m the one, and it’s not fair.


Lately

 

Anytime at all, I can remember.

The summer we were caught, out in the rain. 

And my heart don’t break that easy. The summer had it all. I don’t want to work. I just want to lay here.

With someone in my arms and nothing to say.

The only trouble now is where to begin.

When you wait around, their ends your beginning.

  

And Lately, all I ever, want to do is find out weather.

If I could stay forever, knowing I just don’t belong. Somewhere I just don’t belong.

 

Any kind of move, you try to recapture.

The wonder that was lost, working for pay.

 I don’t want to know, I don’t really want to come back.

So give me half a smile and the hour to waste.

The only trouble with tomorrow today, forget to joy in the life I’m living.

  

Say bye bye to what we had, the beauty of this is just beginning.


Stars

 

Before the water and the wave.

When the world was coming out.

They had to author the pages

So we could know that

Out of a little love came the one.

That they said would save you.

Cause you can’t save your self.

 

They tell you why you’ll never run.

They made a star out of a son.

 

Even thought you’ll never be a star

You know that you are the lighter side of me.

Even though the world will often lie.

I don’t we we fail to try, to find out

What we can do for you.

Even though you’ll never be a star

Just like me.

 

Before the lightning and the burst.

With no birds to sing about.

There was a feeling without words

That no one talked about.

But if you ever got down to the little things

In the other persons life.

If you ever got down the real things

They’d take you on a little ride.

 

And you’d never run.

Out of their life. You’d never run.

 

Even thou I have arrived

I suppose there things that I should

Do for you without giving up a little

 


Ballad of a Fool

 

What the hell do you want from me.

I’ve been working on the sorcery

and the world is turning nice and cold.

Oh don’t you lead me under.

 

I’ve been listening to the radio.

There is no one there I want to know.

Lincoln Park and so-called soul.

Radio is a sad salvation.

 

There is something you should know.

You will never grow.  Living in the lie.

Can’t look me in the eye,

I am worrying for you.

The ballad of the fool.  In his final days.

You will never change.  You will never change it.

 

There’s a song that I use to know.

Now it makes me feel so damn old.

They never played it on the radio.

Oh it’s a cold December.

 

It’s like a million miles from here.

The sound that’s in my ear.

The sound is like a friend

that I just can’t remember.

 

There is something you should know.

You will never grow.  Living in the lie.

Looks like I would cry for everyone of you.

Those who never knew.

What they want to do.

The ballad of a fool.



Wonder Where You Are?

 

If I returned tonight

and you were lost buried in apology.

Placing all that matters in a hole.

Suddenly your right,

you don’t know what you see inside of me.

Did he drop a ladder for control.

 

And the waters flowing out.

And I don’t believe your lost.

And you won’t come back now.

 

And I wonder where you are? On a sliding slope.

And I wonder where you are? And I still can hope.

I wonder where you are?

 

 

I’m burning in her eyes.  I’m not alone.

I’m always in good company.

Everyone is guilty that she knows.

She says, “If you don’t mind, I’d like to go.

Everyone is after me.

I’m never coming back here any more.

 

And the waters flowing out

and I don’t believe your lost.

And I won’t be back now.

 

And the water flowing out.

And I don’t believer your lost and I won’t be back.



Somebody Else's World

Out here in the darkness,
it's never really going away.
I know you decided,
the hour you would end and the day.
Come out with the lifeless,
cause he knows what you're trying to say.
I know you been lonely,
so get outside of you life into the silence.


In and out of my life,
waiting for the sunlight and
no one told her how she got older.
She will never find out,
if she let the light out.
And I once told her it's Somebody Else's World.

Inside here so often,
we keep the things we should throw away.
Beside mother orphan the helper
and the high life will stay.
Get out of the darkness,
and show me why I should go away.
I see that the hour is closing
in the step of silence here comes the violence.

You move in and out of my life,
waiting for the sunlight and
Five years older, nobody told her.
She will never find out, until the lights out.
And I once told her it's Somebody Else's World.


 

She

 

Sunlight fading across the farm and I see through you dress.

You hold me at a length of your arm and I’m fallen in love I guess.

I hold you up so high, and you want me to go down.

Innocence and alibi’s are there to keep me around for you.

 

She…Is gonna teach me everything I need to love you.

I know that…

 

She don’t love me cause those words are not allowed.

Summer is just sinking in and I’ve been holding out.

She… is fallen in love with me.

 

Behind the church I field of grass is calling to us now.

My attempt to remove your clasp was all…all that I could do.

I will hold you up so high, cause you give it up so well.

Innocence and tangle lies, surprise what am I to do.

 

She…

 

She said, “I don’t love you cause those words are not allowed.”

Her father is preaching and we’re rolling on the couch.

And…she…Is falling in love with me.

 

She don’t love me cause those words are not allowed.

The last time we made it I was making my way out.

She… is fallen in love with me.

 


Wonder

 

Will I waste all of my life, on butterflies,

alcohol and things that bump in the night.

I got words coming out of my head,

like alligators, nasty words drift around,

I don't understand it.

I'm a bear on the road at night.

There's another one there.

Like Lyle Lovette I sit and stare.

 

Save me from a life of Wonder.

When all I need is you and me and my design.

All we ever really do is Wonder.

All I need is you in my design.

And you're all that I've been hoping for tonight.

I don't know tonight.

 

There's a change coming under my skin.

A caterpillar learns to walk, I'm a butterfly on a pin.

I'm going out of my way.

To find what can't be done.

And I'll drift on past, purple haze.

And Jimi didn't live my life, DYNAMITE.

And I love you too. How I'd like to break on through.

 

I got nothing left to say to you.

It's just something I do and I don't know way.

In my head I got no reply for... I got to home to you .

That's what I do. Got to get away, got to get on through.

My lover please...

 

And do you really wonder, cause it's killing me and my design.

And do you really wonder, cause you're giving me my design.

And you're all that I've been hoping for tonight.

 


Suffer

 

Will I wait.  Will I suffer.

Till everything that you purpose is finally brought to light.

And I breath and I blunder.

Minute turn to hours and I’m driving thru the night.

 

And it’s real and it’s right.

It only takes a miracle to fly.

The only thing I suppose, I would miss is out here on the road.

 

And I wait to steal your thunder.

With lighting in a bottle and poison on your pen.

And I sneak, out from under.  You are just the same as me

And I don’t know of one thing I can do.

 

To make it right. And silence is no cure for a fight.

The only thing that I suppose I will miss is out there on the road.

 

But I don’t know if a was ever meant to grow.

Some how you’ve think I would know.

I don't know because my heart is too light.

There sunshine here ever night.

 

Will we live to uncover, everything buried in is finally half alive.

And now I am wondering, why your waiting for me.

Ooh…if I die tonight.  The only thing I’d miss is to write.

The other things I suppose, you’ll never even notice till there gone.

  die, I’ll never know

When you say that I’m not dreaming and you say that it’s for real.

Then I rise up in the air and make you feel.

 


Wonderland

 

Out of the black and into the Wonderland.

I don't know why I don't mind.

I know I'm wrong.  I ain't learn nothing yet

to save me this time.

 

Sometimes it feels like it just isn't right.

Over the winter I learned that I'm,

Out of the Black and into the Sun passing by.

 

Out of my mind, there's nobody out there. 

Selling what I have in store.

Either I'm wrong or this mind is a Wonderland. 

Taken me out this far.

 

Lately it feels like the timing is right.

Over the winter I learned that I'm

Out of the Black and into the Sun passing by.

 

Well I know that the timing is right.

And I know that I will pass you by.

Over the winter the Sun put the light in my eye.

 

And I know, I will be running.

I don't care if I will fall.

Fallen down is easy as running.

Falling forward.
