words

all to say

Verse
How to say to you
What I wanted to
If you only knew
How much you mean to me

You're my everything
You make my heart sing
That's what your love brings to

Chorus
What can I do, what can I say
To show you are perfect in every way
These words are simple but they are true
All to say I love you

Verse 2
Through the months and years
With smiles and with tears
I hope it seems clear
How much you mean to me

Sleeping through the night
Holding you so tight
I know it feels right to me

Chorus 2
What can I do, what can I say
To show you are perfect in every way
These words are simple but they are true
All to say I love you

Verse 3
How to say to you
What I wanted to
If you only knew
How much you mean to me

barefoot

sittin' still and quiet on the beach
or runnin' drunk and barefoot down the street
there's nowhere else i'd rather be
and noone else i'd rather were here with me

and i don't mind if you know
that you drive me wild
when you kiss my cheek
and i'm not scared to tell you
that i feel complete
when you're here with me

and i'm sorry that i'm not who i should be
and i'm sorry for always sayin' sorry
and i'm sorry 'cuz i probably shouldn't tell you
but i'm really starting to believe i love you...

i love you......

and i need you.....

better

there's times i wonder what we were thinking
when we told each other we cared
i guess there's really no better reason
than you were lonely and i was scared

you don't need to explain what happened
i can see it like i was there
the look on your face as he kissed your lips
and ran his fingers through your hair

but it's not too late to say you're sorry
it's not too late to prove me wrong
but i can tell from the look in your eyes, sweetheart
that you'll feel better when i'm gone

so i hope you're having fun in montauk
with all thsoe pretty east coast boys
but doesn't it seem just a little bit messed up
that i sometimes miss being one of your toys

and you don't need to explain what happened
you were lonely, he was there
you can say that i'd have done the same in your place
frankly my dear i don't give a damn

and it's too late to say you're sorry
you've already failed to prove me wrong
but i've got a hunch that this time, baby
we'll both feel better when i'm gone
we'll both feel better when i'm gone
we'll both feel better when it's done

butterflies

come closer sleepyhead
use my body for your bed
i'll keep you safe through the night
you will dream of waterfalls...
and butterflies...
the starlight, in your eyes
shines so bright...
and your face, in the moonlight
looks perfect tonight...

good morning dreamy eyes
i've found my place inside your smile
i know the time has come to go
i wish there was a way for you...
to know...

that my name, on your lips
sounds so sweet
and with your head, on my shoulder
i am complete
i'm sorry, that i made you leave...
and i'm sorry, that i couldn't see...
that you...made...me...

dark star

the sky shines bright
with stars and satellites
you shined so bright
in my darkest night
dark star
your heart

this is my greatest secret
you are my greatest regret

in my arms
you lay still
"i promise", you said
"i never will"

dark star
your heart

this is my darkest secret
you are my greatest weakness

and so i gave everything
just to be near where you are
and you shined with the stolen
light of a thousand murdered stars
but your gravity's too strong now
not letting any light escape
and your event horizon
swallowed all the love i gave

all the love i gave

dark star
your heart

everything's gonna be alright

i'll be here when you need me to be
i will do all the sweet things i know you'd do for me
and i will try to be all you want from me
i'll be here for you

i know there's times you wanna pack your bags and leave this town
wherever you go my dear you know that's where i will be found
so if you get the urge to jump right outta your head
well i'll jump too just take my hand
yeah i'll jump too just take my hand

when you're here i know you're everything i need
when you're gone i honestly find it hard to breathe
so lay with me here though i know it's getting late
when you're here i know we're safe

sometimes it feels like you're gonna slide right off of the bed
i promise i won't let you fall down and hurt your head
sometimes you feel like you could just go right outta your mind
trust me baby, you'll be fine

baby you'll be fine

sometimes i make you wanna scream at the top of your lungs
so go on baby scream at me there's no need to bite your tongue
just never doubt that you're the most important part of my life
and trust me, everything's gonna be alright
trust me, everything's gonna be alright
trust me, everything's gonna be alright

we're gonna be alright

fore

neither of us ever learned to skateboard very well
and i have to admit i rather liked it when i fell
you were beautiful in spite of your clumsiness on wheels
and you'd come to help me up and your kiss, my wounds would heal
oh-oh

it always seemed strange how you gave up so easily
after so long you wrote me off with the greatest of ease
you'd think five years would have warranted more than that
at least a kind word or two before you killed me where i sat

and i-i-i-i-i

honestly think i'm doin just fine
just fine without you in my life
it's gettin' better all the time yeah
and i'll still be there when you call
but i'm not gonna fight for you at all
'cuz you're not worth fighting fore

i hope to God this is the last song i write for you
it seems i'm inspired by the hell you put me through
but if the price for creativity's the pain you caused
i'd give it up in a second and i wouldn't mourn the loss

and i-i-i-i-i

honestly think i'm doin' alright
alright without you in my life
it's gettin' better all the time yeah
and i'll still be there when you call
but i'm not gonna fight for you at all
'cuz you're not worth fighting fore
you're not worth fighting for
you're not worth fighting for
you're not worth fighting fo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-or

honestly think i'm doin just fine
just fine without you in my life
it's gettin' better all the time yeah
and i'll still be there when you call
if you need me for anything at all
but you're not worth fighting for
no you're not worth fighting for
no you're not worth fighting for
not worth fighting for

hold on

cry until your tears are gone
and lie, 'till all the lies have gone
don't let anybody try to tell you who you are
or where to be
don't let anybody try to tell you who you are
especially me

tear all the walls away
tear, till only dust remains

hold on to what you'll find remains when you've let go
of everything

and i can't let you go
but i can't make you stay
i just need you to know
i'll always feel this way
i'll always keep you safe
you'll never be alone
always keep you warm
and i will always love you

so cry, 'till only hope remains
and lie, till only truth remains

i know that you will find yourself where no one else...
ever could

i never meant to hurt you and i hope you know...
i never would...

home sick

plain white t-shirts on the floor
it's hard to tell which is mine and which is yours
i don't know what you want me to say
i can only take this day by day
day by day

i can kiss you where it hurts
will that help or only make it worse?
your voice crackles on the telephone
when i hear it it feels like comin' home
comin' home

home is when i'm by your side
home is drownin' in your eyes
home is in each tender kiss
when you're away, i'm the one...
who's home sick...

withered petals on the dash
i wonder how i fell so far fast
in memory i'll keep this rose
and wait for the day when you'll be comin' home

comin' home

home is when i'm by your side
home is drownin' in your eyes
home is in each tender kiss
when you're away, i'm the one...
who's home sick...

home is when i'm by your side
home is drownin' in your eyes
home is in each tender kiss
when you're away, i'm the one...
i'm the one...
who's home sick...

if

did he make you smile, feel like you were safe,
did he make you feel like you were complete?
did he keep you warm, underneath those sheets,
was it hard to forget the love that you betrayed
if you had loved me, you wouldn't have left me
you wouldn't have killed me with your words
but you did.
yeah you did

did you say to him the words you said to me
when you promised i would always be
forever yours, you were forever mine
was forever too much time?

if you had loved me, you wouldn't have left me
you wouldn't have killed me with your words
but you did.
yeah you did

and it's under my skin, i can feel it crawl
never lets me sleep, never lets me go
so i sit in the dark, desperate searching for hope
just a glimmer of light, to let me know i'm alive
and i try not to think, keep it out of my head
image of you in his arms, 'cuz it's drivin' me mad
and i'm tryin' to forget, but i can't let it go
i don't want to ask, but i have to know...

...was he worth it?...

if you had loved me, you wouldn't have left me
you wouldn't have killed me with your words
but you did...yeah you did
and if you had loved me, you wouldn't have hurt me
you wouldn't have ripped my heart out laughing at my pleas...
but you did...yeah you did...

look to you

Verse

As I go about my day
From one thing to the next
All I want is to be the guy
That I've come to expect

I see all that I've become
I know I could do more
I'm scared I won't come to fulfill
What God has planned me for

Chorus
When I close my eyes, I want you here with me
I want to know, That you're please with what you see
So fill my heart with your refreshing peace
Tonight that's how I want to fall asleep

Verse 2
Can these thoughts of
Doubt and sin fully go away
I want to live my life for you
Every single day

This life I lead is simple
But can overwhelm with ease
I look to you for guidance
And to hear these humble pleas

Chorus 2
When I close my eyes, I want you here with me
I want to know, That you're please with what you see
So fill my heart with your refreshing peace
Tonight that's how I want to fall asleep

mr. nice guy

you can say whatever you want
you can walk all over me
for any reason you can blow me off
you can pinch me until i bleed
still gonna be there when you call
still gonna catch you if you fall

still gonna be the one who listens, when you're cryin' on the phone
still gonna buy you little presents, when i'm out away from home
still gonna watch your dumb tv shows, so you don't have to watch alone
still gonna be the one who loves you, if you want me to be
if you want me to be

you don't have to listen to me
you don't have to return my calls
you don't need to do anything for me
all you gotta do is call

and i'll be right there by your side
even if you're just using me for a free ride

i don't know why, guess i'm mr. nice guy
i've tried not to be oh god knows i've tried
but you can hurt me, ignore me, leave me, you can shoot me down
still you know that i will be around

note to self

don't wait for phone calls that you know will never come
don't hold your breath that she'll regret the things she's done
don't wait for her to realize that she was wrong
don't argue when they say that you need to move on
i don't know how to let you go
but you've become too hard to hold

i can't believe that i believed that i was something that you need
i can't believe i thought i loved you, there's no such thing as meant to be
i hate the way that i can't hate you, my head won't hold an angry thought
i hate my naive self for believing it'd be different this time around

don't listen when she tries to tell you she still cares
she'll never mean it, don't get lost inside her stare
don't take offense when your friends try to make you see
you are the one whose blinded eyes refuse to see...

i don't know how to let you go

i can't believe that i believed that i was something that you need
i can't believe i thought i loved you, there's no such thing as meant to be
i hate the way that i can't hate you, my head won't hold an angry thought i hate my naive self for believing it'd be different this time around

i can't believe that i believed that i was something that you need i can't believe i thought i loved you, there's no such thing as meant to be i hate the way that i can't hate you, my head won't hold an angry thought i hate my naive self for believing it'd be different this time around

san francisco

don't just tell me what you think i wanna hear
that's just the kind of thing that landed us here
scared to leave and scared to say we don't wanna go
afraid of what we've seen and all we don't know

and if you don't, baby just say you don't
but if you do, please won't you tell me that you do
and if you won't, well i think that i'd rather know
and if you wanna go to san francisco....then go
just go

and i won't cry for you i won't waste no more tears
i'm not gonna let my life be ruled by fear
if you leave me now just like you left me them
i swear to you this time i'll have no regrets

if i'm not what you want then baby just say that i'm not
but if i am, please won't you show me that i am?
and if you won't, well i think that i'd rather know
and if you wanna go to san francisco...then go
just go

sometimes i wonder just how it makes you feel
when i tell you how beautiful you are to me
do you know that what it is i really mean
is that your face is the most beautiful that i've ever seen?

sometimes i wonder if you understand what i mean
when i tell you that i love you
sometimes i'm not sure if you know what i'm trying to say
is that i don't think i could live without you, oh no no

baby don't go

oh no no

can't live without you...

skin (the world ends with you)

you said you weren't all you used to hope
so i peeled my skin off of my bones
and draped it across your fragile frame
sayin' "you can be me for a while if you think that might help

your new body fit remarkably well
and you didn't need me anymore
so i was left alone, naked and cold
sayin' "don't mind me, i am just the ghost of someone long gone"

let's throw it all away
if you don't need me anyway
i'll laugh out loud as it burns

i gave you everything
all that i had in me
still i promise i'll always sing your song

death will come callin' for us both
but i am already a ghost
what will you have to show to him?
what have you done with your life in the skin off of my back?

you threw it all away
to prove that you don't need me
i watched you laugh as it burned

but i'd do it all again
if just for the chance to mend
the scars that i left in your mind

and i swear right here and now
that i always knew somehow
that i could never be the one

the world ends with you and me
there's nothing else i can see
so i'll sing your song 'till the day i die

sleep

at work i fell asleep and dreamed i was at home
it was beautiful
last night in my sleep, i dreamt you were here with me
you were so...beautiful
i fell asleep, won't you wake me up?
i fell down, won't you pick me up?

sitting all alone, staring at the phone
waitin' for your call
what if you don't come, what if you don't care?
at all.....
at all.....

i fell asleep, won't you wake me up?
you fell down, i can't pick you up...

well you came by after all, you built me up
so i could take the fall
but tonight as i sleep, i'll dream you're here with me
it'll be...beautiful

i fell asleep, please don't wake me up
'cuz in my dreams, i can still feel loved
i fell down, please don't pick me up
'cuz if i lay here, on this cold ground...
i'll never have to fall

last night in my sleep, i dreamt you were here with me
you were so...beautiful

spring again

Verse
I can see you, in every single day
You're in the breeze, that takes my cares away
Warmth in the sunlight, that travels to my heart
The subtle ways I see you, in this perfect work of art

Chorus
Standing in these leaves
Around these lonely, lifeless trees
(where could I be)
At one time they grew and thrived
They were green and so alive
(can you find me)

Verse 2
A season fades, while another starts anew
Leaves that were green, being to turn an amber hue
This lonesome heart, it waits for Spring once more
I think of you, you're the one I do adore

Chorus 2
Standing in these leaves
Around these lonely, lifeless trees
(where could I be)
At one time I grew and thrived
I felt like I was so alive
(can you find me)

Outro
How I want you
How I need you
I could never do this on my own

You've blessed me with
All I have yet
I still feel this yearning in my soul

To see you clearer
To love you deeper
To know my life is under your control

All my days I want to give to you

story

another night alone in my room
'cuz there is nothin' else to do
another night alone with my gloom
all i can think about is you
and if you knew my story
would you still laugh at me?

a day behind a dollar short
no mercy nothing of the sort
that's the story of my life
fearing that no one cares for me
nobody ever really sees
that's the story of my life

another night alone in my head
remembering all of my failures
another sleepless night in my bed
knowing i'll fail again tomorrow
and if you knew my story
would you still love me?

a day behind a dollar short
no mercy nothing of the sort
that's the story of my life
ashamed of what i have become
afraid of things i haven't done
that's the story of my life

another night alone in my room...

suddenly simple

i love the way...you hold my arm
and i love the way...that you smile.
i love it when...you lead me on
and i love it when...you laugh like a child
i'm not all you need
but don't give up on me
i will try to be
'cuz you are all i need

i love your strength, and your resolve
and you know that i love all your faults
i'll do all that i can to make you be
as happy as you have made me

i'm not all you need
but don't give up on me
it's suddenly simple to see
that you are all i need

i love you

the show

well i'd never ask, and you'll never tell
so i'll assume the worst, maybe that's just as well
it still doesn't feel, like you're really gone
i still hear your voice, when i am alone
so i'll close my eyes, and try not to think
about where you are, and how you're not with me

'cuz you're letting go, and you're moving on
from all that i know, and all that went wrong

i know what i need, it's not what i want
i want you to stay, but i need to move on
well maybe this space, is just what we need
we've never been apart, for more than three days
but when i close my eyes, and i see your face
it's so hard to recall, why we parted ways

but i'm movin on, and i'm letting go of all that went wrong, and all that i know and i'll cut the strings, that bound you to me so we can both go, on with the show

but we're letting go, and we're movin on of all that we know, and all that went wrong and i'll cut loose the strings, that bound you to me so we can finally go, on with the show

waiting

it's friday night in a city that can only
be described as a poor man's santa barabara
it's cold outside but i've got my coat
to ward off the chill as we walk i'll hold you close

and i've been waitin for someone to save me
i've been waitin for you

it's friday night and my room is bathed in
the familiar blue glow of my tv set
it's a little cold but i'll be fine
as i sit and wonder where you are tonight

are you waiting somewhere just for me to call your name?
well i've been waiting patiently for you to do the same
and now i'm trying with everything i am just to pretend
that i don't miss you...

but i've been waitin for someone to save me
i've been waiting for you
and i've been praying that you won't forget me
i'm still waiting for you

but i can't wait forever
yeah i can wait forever
don't make me wait forever
i'll try to wait forever

i'm still waiting for someone to save me
i'm still waiting for you
and when you're ready for someone to save you
i'll be here waiting for you, for you
for you, for you
for you, for you
for you, for you
for you, for you
for you

i'm still waiting...

we all got lost

i never learned to listen
i only learned to cry myself to sleep
i don't know what i'm missing
i only know i'm not who i thought i'd be

but we all got lost
we all got lost
we all got lost on the way to scarborough fair

if only you could see
the world the way it shows itself to me
if only you could hear
the rapture in a strumming guitar's strings

but we all got lost
we all got lost
we all got lost on the way to scaroborough fair

i'm not sorry i'm not perfect
is anyone really perfect
at least i'm trying to reach it
you're not even trying

but we all got lost
we all got lost
yeah we all got lost on the way to scarborough fair

we all got lost
we all got lost
yeah we all got lost on the way to scarborough fair
on the way to scaroborough fair

what i love

i love the way the sunbeams brush your face
as they're falling through your window
in the morning
and i love it when you let your hair hang down
in front of your eyes
when we're alone
i love how good it feels to hold you tight
when you've been gone for so long
feels like forever
you feel like heaven
and i wish that i had never let you down
i wish that i had never made you cry
i hope that i can make you see
and i hope that i can be all that you need

i love the night we sat out on the bridge
and i put my arm on your back
so you wouldn't fall
and i love the dreams that i have about you
i love waking up
to find they're true
and i love the way the sunbeams brush your face
as they're streamin' through your window
in the morning
you look like heaven

i wish that i had never let you down
and i wish that i had never made you cry
and i hope that someday i can make you see
and i hope that i can be all that you need

but i can't promise that i'll never let you down
i can't promise that i'll never make you cry
but i promise i'll try to be all you need
'cuz i love you, and i hope that you love me

words

i didn't want you to be my first one
i wanted you to be the only one...
for me...
i loved you then, i love you still
i can't forget, i never will...
the pain you caused
because i loved you
you...
your face is still inside my head
your voice is all around me
i know i'll never find someone i love as much as you
...as much as you...
but i'll be alone forever
before i'd be with you again

i believed the lie you told me, everyday...
when you said...
...you loved me...

you said you loved me
you said you loved me
you said you loved me
you said you loved me
you said you loved me, you loved me, you loved me....
you loved me...
