Too Long
02:33
|
|||
|
Dear it's been too long
Since we last spoke
Think of these words as a poke
A gentle reminder
I'm still around
Waiting for you like a clown
'Cause I've tried to give you my heart
Still even though you won't take it
It won't do
And that's fine
Here I'll be
Safe in my home
Don't mind me
I don't need you
The things I tell myself
While I'm alone
Comfort me like a lost home
'Cause knowing you don't care
Hurts so much more
Than accepting a truth I can't bare
'Cause I've tried to give you my heart
Still even though you won't take it
It won't do
And that's fine
Here I'll be
Safe in my home
Don't mind me
Though I still need you
(Instrumental bridge)
(Melodica solo)
'Cause I've tried to give you my heart
Still even though you won't take it
It won't do
And that's fine
Here I'll be
Safe in my home
Don't mind me
I'll stay alone

Gigi
Are you confused?
Mom and dad are gone
Neglected and abused
Oh Gigi
Could you express?
Your anger and sadness
Under such duress?
Now you're old enough
To hold yourself
Cycle break
Don't let those same
Patterns take
You down
As they did them
Gigi
Now you're alone
Look outside to make sure
Nobody's home
Gigi
Protect yourself
No man be an island but think of your health
Gigi
Hold on
Hold onto the good that begot your dawn
Gigi
Try to forget
Forget words used to wound
In stone you're not set
Gigi
Are you confused?
Gigi
Are you confused?
Gigi
Are you confused?
Gigi
Are you confused?

Thinkin'
About what we could be
Could your love be true?
Would I be true to you?
Only one way to know
Living
Inside a fantasy
Dreaming of what was
And all that could be ours
But I'm still stuck here
(solo)
Thinkin'
About what we could be
Could your love be true?
Would I be true to you?
Only one way to know
Thinkin'

But For Now
02:54
|
|||
|
I’ve tried and I’ve failed
To be
A lover here, just what you need
From me
Chorus:
But for now
I'll stay alone
I'm no good but on my own
Cause my heart
Needs to mend
I’ll go
Until we meet again
Interlude:
Could you understand?
The thoughts trapped my head
Would lend an ear?
When I'm mute from fear?
Could your arms hold me tight
Through the pain and the strife?
If you're willing to try
So am I
We’ll cast aside loves from the past
With a sigh
But for now
I'll stay alone
I'm no good but on my own
Now my heart
Needs time to mend
I’ll go
Until we meet again
I’m here
Should you so need a friend
Our love
Would never meet the (end)
(vocal harmony break)
Don't worry hold on and see (repeat coda)

Stowaway
03:08
|
|||
|
Since we last spoke
I've been doin' fine
Drifting out and straying
From you
Now I've spent my time in a
Pale drink
But skies are clear
So I'll tell you what I think
You weren't
Exactly fair
And my responses
Were guilty of their share
But now I'm certain
There was never room for me
You had a stowaway in your heart
So sad that we should have to
Drift apart
You had a stowaway in your heart
Siren calls took wing
That tune, I heard you sing
A child's song
Rehearsed and tuned
Presenting an image of
Frailty
To scuttle in
To my chagrin
And sink
So you weren't
Exactly fair
And my responses
Were guilty of their share
But now I'm certain
There was never room for me
You had a stowaway in your heart
So sad that we should have to
Drift apart
You had a stowaway in your heart
Siren calls took wing
That tune, I heard you sing
Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na
I wrote one too
Many songs about you
I wrote one too
Many songs about you

Don't Believe a Word
02:02
|
|||
|
I don't believe a word
They say
No I don't believe a word
I've heard what they all say
About our love and how we play
And how we're just too young to know
Anger and jealousy
Go hand in hand with cuddling
But your love has so much more to show
Lovers bound to strict ideals of the past
Their love failed, so how 'bout
We make our own path?
So I don't believe a word
They say
No I don't believe a word
And don't you believe they say
No I don't believe a word
(Guitar solo)
Lovers bound to strict ideals of the past
Their love failed, so how 'bout
We make our own path?
So I don't believe a word
They say
No I don't believe a word
And don't you believe they say
No I don't believe a word

Play Things
02:45
|

|
Time goes on
Love is gone
Does she think of
Of the way she lied?
Feeling low
Where to go?
Who will I be
In a few days time
I...
Want you to know
I'm not mad anymore
But you really did me in
And I'm not afraid
To love anyone
But I'm afraid of loving you
Your love was plainly just untrue
Woe is me
Time has passed
I'm still here
Holding myself
Together with twine
Play Things rust
Under moons
Gone so pale
I'm a shell
Of what I once was
Can I return
To a better man?
To a better place?

Chat

|
Should you need to call and chat
Don't wait
Just phone
You already know my name
A brief update
I won't bemoan
Know I've opened the line
So call if you need to
I'll make the time
If you should so need to
Chat

Maybe
02:17
|

|
Maybe I was just too naive to understand
Maybe I played the fool who trusted too early
Fell victim to your sick plan
As those dark clouds
Gathered on high
I bid adieu, my love we're through
And yet from time to time my thoughts drift back to
You
What never could be
A lovely little lie
I lie awake and wonder
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe amidst another time; another place
Maybe the very thought of you wouldn't leave a pained expression on my face
As those dark clouds
Gathered on high
I bid adieu, my love we're through
And yet from time to time my thoughts drift back to
You
What never could be
A lovely little lie
I lie awake and wonder
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
