sing me something that lasts as long
as this path that I've been walking
between your house and mine
I've been wearing holes in my sneakers
coincidentally passing by
why don't you come and see
what kind of trouble
we can get in tonight
tell me all your simple dreams
yeah tell me that you want to
hey I've got somethin' for you
come and put your hand in my pocket
your trust in my offer, please
why don't you come and see
what kind of trouble
we can get in tonight
why don't you come down sweet darlin'
I've got a feeling you’re burning inside
I've been waitin' all night
gonna show you some of my softer side
I'll be waiting here for you
if you decide you want to
yeah you know where to find me
come and put your needle on my record
there’s some words I think you might like to hear
why don't you come and see
what kind of trouble
we can get in tonight
why don't you come down sweet darlin'
I've got a feeling you’re burning inside
I've been waitin' all night
gonna show you some of my softer side
I'll be waiting here for you
if you decide you want to
yeah you know where to find me
why don't you come down sweet darlin'
I've got a feeling you’re burning inside
I've been waitin' all night
gonna show you some of my softer side…

who was the one
came to your window
stood in the rain till the coast was clear
waited till nightfall
climbed your garden wall
dance with the one who brought you
here
think I'll sit out 'take me home tonight'
you can swing from the chandelier
'let it be'
'take on me'
dance with the one
with the one
with the one who brought you
here
shined shoes
I've outgrown
a rented tux
and I'm walking home
you can have
'the way you make me feel'
'billy jean' and the 'man in the mirror'
'fools rush in'
'against the wind'
dance with the one
with the one
with the one who brought you
with the one
with the one
with the one who brought you
here

Dreamer's Heart
03:21
|
|||
when I was a kid
I worked so hard
trying to make straight A's
I thought it meant
something in life
now I look back these days
and I should've
followed my dreamer's heart
cared a little less about what was on the test
and just tried to follow my dreamer's heart
I went to college
for six long years
I thought I'd never graduate
I finally did
what did I get?
a pile of debt that I can't pay
and I should've
followed my dreamer's heart
cared a little less about what was on the test
and just tried to follow my dreamer's heart
I'd like to tell myself at eight years old,
you don't have to be so worried about it
you can't trust the life that you've been sold
listen to your heart it won’t leave you in the cold
you're the only one who knows what's in your soul
I could get a job
that I can't stand
and start a weekend cover band
that nine to five
that perfect life
I haven't ever felt less alive
inside my head
I'm just a girl
tryin' to figure it out
inside I'm perfect
I am not fragile
I live in my own world
still trying to

A Little Rain
02:44
|
|||
all we’ve been getting is rain these days
the water’s so high I can't see my legs
I had to buy a canoe to get back to you
then I went and threw the paddles away
sometimes all you want is a little dry land
a break in the tide to give relief to the sand
a little hole in your shoe and you’re soaked right through
I guess you know what makes me think of you
I’d rather sit right here in this boat
than listen to another single line of this joke
I didn't think it was funny till I figured you out
guess who's laughing now
I didn't think I'd get so high that I'd be fallin'
I didn't think a little rain could take down every thing
things were looking up and I was optimistic
if there was a sign you know I must've missed it
then the sky opened up and that's when I knew
I've done just about all I can do
I've done just about all I can do
I’d rather sit right here in this boat
than listen to another single line of this joke
I didn't think it was funny till I figured you out
guess who's laughing now
you know ever since that muddy water started to flow
all those little cracks they've been starting to show
ain't it amazing what you learn to ignore
till you just can't take any more
I just can't take any more
it seems that until now it's been a slow leak
and I could always bail you out
but now you'd better find somebody who can laugh at your jokes
cause I'm through foolin' around
I said, I'm through foolin' around
I didn't think I'd get so high that I'd be fallin'
I didn't think a little rain could take down every thing

the neighborhood is quiet there's nobody out tonight
I can't help but feel like I'm on the outside
I'm running down the list of my apologies
if any one I've missed I'm sure you'll remind me
got this bed to myself but it's nothing like I thought it'd be
I didn't know I'd miss you, I never thought you'd really leave
it's time to be moving on I should be past this place
I've got to get on my way
on my way
been living in this car, suitcases and truck stops
try to do what makes us happy 'cause we only get one shot
it's not enough to say we did the best we could
it's not enough to say we did all the things we should
it's time to be moving on I should be past this place
I've got to get on my way
on my way
on my way
I just wanna stretch my legs try my shoes on another street
and wake up, under a different sky

Better Than Gold

baby
you know I can love you better
she thinks she can change ya
I'm not gonna let her
my love's something that I think you should try
give it time I'm gonna
make, you, mine
baby
she thinks she can cheat you
I might not be a sweet saint
but I know how to treat you
I've got something that I think you should know
baby we could be
better than gold
I can't get next to you
I only wanna get next to you
it's the same old sorry
the same. old. song. and dance
baby
you know I can love you
you know I can love you better
she's only gonna mistreat you
bring you down and leave you bitter
maybe the stars will be on our side
my fortune teller says she's
always right
I can't get next to you
I only wanna get next to you, next to you
I can't get next to you
it's the same old sorry
the same old song and
same old sorry the
same, old, song, and dance

Don't You Be Lonely
03:31
|

baby don't you be lonely don't you walk away
maybe I could be the only game that you play
oh, spin my wheel
tell l me pretty baby how does that feel
step in line
spend some time
let's get a little bit crazy on this carnival ride
baby don't you be lonely don't you walk away
maybe I could be the only game that you play
don't pass me by
you light me up like a carnival lights up the sky throwing darts
try to pin my heart
meet me under the farris wheel when the fireworks start
I could be yours if you want me
yours if you ask me to stay
come on baby don't leave me this way
don't you even see me?
yeah you keep walking away
if you could only be me, oooh
I know you would know what to say
you'd say baby don't you be lonely
baby don't you be lonely
baby don't you be lonely
baby don't you be lonely
I could be yours if you want me
yours if you ask me to stay
I could be yours if you want me
ooh
I could be yours if you want me
I could be yours if you want me
I could be yours if you want me to stay

Suzie and me we sure have fun
we do a lot of things you might call dumb
we're having a blast just raising our glass
and if you don't like it, I didn't ask
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
we drink cheap tequila from a brown paper bag
She ain't a lot of lookin' but she ain't no drag
She's just gettin' hot about eleven o' clock
and it might seem to you like we don't know when to stop but
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
when I'm with Suzie I do what I want
I do what I want and I take what I need and
she does what she wants, does what she wants with me
you know some of us have a little more sense but then
some of us haven't got a clue
and when I'm alone I find myself asking, what would Suzie do?
I take her downtown cruisin' looking to park
cause everybody knows what she do in the dark
you tell her she's fine, she doesn't give you the time 'cause when the cruisers are cruisin' you'd better get in line
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
when I'm with Suzie I do what I want
I do what I want and I take what I need and
she does what she wants, does what she wants with me
you know some of us have a little more sense but then
some of us haven't got a clue
and when I'm alone I find myself asking, what would Suzie do?

Loving You
04:06
|
|||
are you gonna take your time?
are you gonna waste mine?
leaving me to wonder
what's coming down the line
those stakes were high
egos were higher
at our best we were magic
at our worst we're shattered
I'm gonna take my time loving you
want you to take your time loving me
I remember it well
a t-shirt I held
up to my face cause it was
drenched in your smell
those days were endless
our hearts were hopeless
somehow we managed not to lose our focus
I'm gonna take my time loving you
want you to take your time loving me
you came upon me now it’s safe to say
for burning bleeding hearts I've got the taste
for what was innocent has been replaced
you were harder to align
and I was getting lost trying
all I wanted to know
is are you gonna be mine?
I've got you now
won't let go
be my 'forever' I'll be your 'for sure'
I'm gonna take my time loving you
want you to take your time loving me
I'm gonna take my time loving you
want you to take your time loving me
