There's four ways I could go on this road Which path I choose does not determine that I know What you would do if you were in my shoes I smell that jet fuel in the sky Remindin' me time after time Of all the lonely nights and many flights I wasted on you How I wish that I could change the past You made me believe that it would last Oh, oh You took it all away with those dirty games you played And you threw my little heart to the creatures of the dark You never once looked around But babe, I don't want you back Guess I'm not the one to blame for what you lack And I wanna take you down Ya told me you had it all figured out But baby, what you been talkin' about You're confused as a little school boy You don't know which way's up or down Emotions on a ride, spinnin' round and round Take what you came here with and leave no lies behind Try to touch real life, and it's a shame Now you're lost without a name Back to the cold, worn world you've always known Oh, oh You took it all away with those dirty games you played And you threw my little heart to the creatures of the dark You never once looked around But babe, I don't want you back Guess I'm not the one to blame for what you lack And I wanna take you Down to the train tracks, I can hear it comin' on Right toward you, baby, and you know where it's comin' from Straight from the depths of an unheard place Gonna take you back where you belong I'll pretend I never laid eyes on your face Goodbye and so long Cuz you took it all away with those dirty games you played And you threw my little heart to the creatures of the dark You never once looked around But babe, I don't want you back Guess I'm not the one to blame for what you lack And I wanna take you down, yeah

We could have danced To the rhythm of the midnight breeze Under the clearest skies That you ever did see I would have kissed Away all your pain I would have made it sweet Like candy rain You would have been my love But you said "so what" You made up your mind To color in the lines And settle for less Less than the best You really thought you knew And I pity the fool She had you rushin' At her every beck and call You tried to hush it But you just couldn't rush over fast enough It was then that the wheels started turning Around in my head It was a bust I couldn't trust to be your only The one and only one you had You would have been my love But you said "so what" You made up your mind To color in the lines And settle for less Less than the best You really thought you knew And I pity the fool Since I left, last I heard She was packin' her bags for a new town All that runnin' around Went and told on you now Since you thought that I'd care You tried to blend back into my life How's the taste of my door in your face? I laugh that you'd even try You had the chance To be my man Then you blew it, nothing to it, get a clue 'Cause you seemed so much smarter back then Should have thought about your lonely heart Before you went and tainted your name because I would have made it sweet Like candy rain You could have been my love But you said "so what" You made up your mind To color in the lines And settle for less Less than the best You really thought you knew And I pity the fool Oh, I pity you, you fool -scat-

Idiosyncrasy 03:55
Unfamiliar place we're in, I made a mess of my heart again What did you have to offer me? I have time to spare but I would rather not wait for you to care That I made a mess of my heart again You'll drift away, you won't hesitate Won't get very far again, won't hesitate to leave me in a state of regret Your idiosyncrasy knows how to get the best of me Your peculiarity and the tangled truths that tempt to drive me wild refuse to fan the flame and set it right Can't read inside these lines, you send a message I'm on your mind What do I have left to lose? The moment I decide it could be worth it, you fail to communicate and go along unscathed While I make a mess of my heart again You'll drift away, you won't hesitate Won't get very far again, won't hesitate to leave me in a state of regret Go on with your eccentricity, you must have found a new simplicity I watched it wither in a matter of days I said you'd drift away, wouldn't hesitate to leave me in a state regret All too familiar place I'm in, I've made a mess of my heart again And what did you have for me?

Now and Then 04:26
I recall being younger always Taking time to find the love In the broken-hearted days As of late these cloudy skies are always Raining on my parade I need to find the balance in life I recall being younger always Having you beside me Walking hand in hand in the summer heat As the time passes faster, fades away We grow further apart I wish we could go back to where we started from Every now and then I wonder how you are I used to cry my eyes out My river's run dry Now and then I forget who you are Your name is unfamiliar And my heart beats on A baby birdie said "Have patience, by and by It gets easier to keep the hurt inside, And keep hope alive When tales from long ago come to close The shades are drawn Then shadows form Just like that The past is gone, gone, gone" Every now and then I wonder how you are I used to cry my eyes out My river's run dry Now and then I forget who you are Your name is unfamiliar And my heart beats on Turn around, I'll freeze frame your face And I'll keep it locked away for when I miss you Turn around, these moments seem so unlike what I knew You're like a ghost of you Every now and then I wonder how you are I used to cry my eyes out My river's run dry Now and then I forget who you are Your name is unfamiliar And my heart beats on Every now and then I wonder what you meant When you said you'd be here That we would still be friends You'd think by now we'd have made amends I guess sooner or later, everything ends

Mystery Man 02:30
A spell came over me I think it was your eyes They're so intriguing I bet you do this to all the girls There's a chance you don't I could deny my fascination, but I won't I want you to say hello Mystery man I don't know your name But I see everywhere Every time you look at me I have to stop and stare Mystery man Won't you come around, come around You're giving me room to breathe I'm fueled by my own curiosity Stop tormenting me with your mystery You're looking sharp, dressed to kill Momma must have raised you well Never seen so much class Written over you again and again Let me give you a hint As to how classy this could be, you and me I want you to say hello Mystery man I don't know your name But I see everywhere Every time you look at me I have to stop and stare Mystery man Won't you come around, come around You're giving me room to breathe I'm fueled by my own curiosity Stop tormenting me with your mystery I'd like to delve into your mystic mind Unravel more behind these cryptic lines Just make your move so we don't waste our time I guess we'll never know till we say hello Mystery man I don't know your name But I see everywhere Every time you look at me I have to stop and stare Mystery man Won't you come around, come around You're giving me room to breathe I'm fueled by my own curiosity Stop tormenting me with your Mystery man I don't know your name But I see everywhere Every time you look at me I have to stop and stare Mystery man Won't you come around, come around You're giving me room to breathe I'm fueled by my own curiosity Stop tormenting me with your mystery

The coffee shoppe around the corner Brews a cup or two A steady stream of friends and lovers Then there's me and you The coffee shoppe around the corner Likes to play the tunes Of sad and lonely star-crossed lovers It creates a kind of mood A tale that's as of yet untold Or one that cannot be All we'd hope would soon unfold If we'd wait and see I find we're stuck inside the in-between A different point of view It's safe to say that's me and you The coffee shoppe around the corner Where conversations cast a hue Shadows on the wall show colors It's giving me the blues An atmosphere that gets me thinking Of sapphire tides That always yearn to glisten When the light is right They show a mystical reflection To those who dare to gaze I could stare into your eyes for days Once again imagination runs away with me I begin to watch the others What might their stories read Are they entangled in a romance Is it something new? Maybe it's nothing, much like me and you The coffee shoppe around the corner Brews a cup or two A steady stream of friends and lovers And then there's me… And then there's you...

Oblivious 03:46
Your imperfections are gonna be the death of me Yet you carry yourself so seamlessly It's getting complicated to figure out a way To make you hip to the secret You're just the kind of beautiful I've been waiting for Cliche depiction of the boy next door I'd rather not be just friends, but if ignorance is bliss Better you stay like this, oblivious I'm the furthest from your mind You're at the forefront of mine This distance from you is the cruelest kind of test You can't help it you're oblivious This captivation's becoming a vice, you see Alluring nature unknowingly It's getting overly twisted, and I'm contemplating How to make you hip to the secret You're just the kind of beautiful I've been waiting for Cliche depiction of the boy next door I'd rather not be just friends, but if ignorance is bliss Better you stay like this, oblivious I'm the furthest from your mind You're at the forefront of mine This distance from you is the cruelest kind of test You can't help it you're oblivious -guitar solo- I'm the furthest from your mind You're at the forefront of mine Let's get our stories intertwined This distance from you is the cruelest kind of test You can't help it you're oblivious

Wicked 04:37
Time and time again I run into you Another Latin lover What did I get myself into It's a strange, very strange situation Where am I gonna go from here This is out of my hands Got to face my fear I've been stricken and strewn around And I know I'm gonna get let down Though my mind says you're something wicked My heart can't let go of you Baby, you've torn me in two A certain kind of man I tend to run to Another one of those hopeless cases It's been long overdue Is it just my imagination Where am I gonna go from here This is out of my hands Got to face my fear I've been stricken and strewn around And I know I'm gonna get let down Though my mind says you're something wicked My heart can't let go of you Baby, you've torn me in two Spinning in circles, circles I can't catch my breath It's just what you do to me baby Like before when I said I've been stricken and strewn around And I know you're gonna let me down Though my mind says you're something wicked I'm breaking my own rules Letting you break me down My heart can't let go of you Baby, you've torn me in two

It's 4am And I'm wide awake as I always am The world's sound asleep around me It came and went Whe whole day spent in a tail spin Now that I'm alone I can breathe I wish that I could fall asleep Without the thought of you Here's to hoping I make it through In the witching hour What keeps me up all night Is awaiting some reply And these love songs I write Drunken words spill the truth Sober lips tell lies The strangest power In the witching hour It's lingering This feeling that only you can bring In the garden of honest dreams you spoke Lines on a page How you sparkle and fade my heart away I wonder if you'd care to read what I wrote I wish that I could fall asleep without the thought of you Here's to hoping I make it through In the the witching hour What keeps me up all night Is awaiting some reply And these love songs I write Drunken words spill the truth Sober lips tell lies The strangest power In the witching hour If there was a doubt before, you sent the cure to prove You never really had a thing to lose In the witching hour What keeps me up all night Is awaiting some reply And these love songs I write Drunken words spill the truth Sober lips tell lies The strangest power In the witching hour This jaded night Behind these tired eyes of mine I knew I was right 'Cause drunken words spill the truth Sober lips tell lies The strangest power In the witching hour

Don't get ahead of yourself little girl, a wise woman once said She had a flower in her hair and smoked a cigarette I had to turn my head You've got the world at your feet, the wise woman said to me Stop counting into the future of your years Live for right now, that's all we really know anyhow Do a favor to yourself, do away with your fears I saw the lines on her face from experience and heartache Wise woman knew the score and I wanted to know more With the saddest smile I'd seen in my whole life This to me she advised The journey's incomplete without a cause, so find one When you do, hold it tight Changing your mind means you didn't believe and wasted time How about do a favor to yourself, do away with doubt Live for right now, that's all we really know anyhow Do a favor to yourself, do away with fear and doubt What are you rush in for? Afraid of getting older All the while, not getting any younger Father time thinks you're a fool That's why you've gotta play it cool Time's only got one rule and that's keep tickin' Keep tickin', tickin' Father time's got it out for you That's why you gotta play it cool Time's only got one rule and that's keep tickin' Keep tickin', tickin'
