lover, i lost my way tonight
somewhere in the tresses of your hair
frozen, a deer in the headlights
you left me gasping for air

so close yet so far, face to face
passing the time with our favorite sin
tangled there in this strange embrace
where do you end and where do i begin?

nothing in common?
well we both breathe the same air
nothing in common?
two hands, two feet, one heart

lover, i lost my way today
in this dark place your smile always lit
funny, you never realize
what you've got until you've lost it

so far yet so close, miles apart
waiting for the phone to ring again
deafened by the sound of my beating heart
where do you end and where do i begin?

frozen, a deer in the headlights
where do you end and where do i begin?

02  stay awhile  [top]

you're putting on your lips tonight
you're putting on the dress that always looks just right
did you dress that way just for me?
or are you looking for anybody?
either way, i want you here by my side
either way, nothing to show or nothing to hide?

take off your clothes
and stay awhile
i want you

take off your clothes
and stay awhile
take off your clothes

riding the bus after midnight, 65 in a 30 zone
like a child without a mother, like a child without a home
gas tank on e, ignoring the warning signs
lost without a map, we've other plans in mind
come stand too close to the flame
make some more noise, scream out my name

take off your clothes
and stay awhile
i want to see all of you

take off your clothes
cause only i know
the dark side of your moon

the monkey says its love
the monkey says its love
the monkey says its love
the monkey says

won't you stay awhile?
won't you stay?
won't you stay awhile?
the night is far from over
 

03  wednesday  [top]

it was wednesday
an unassuming afternoon
a day like any other
i wished it were over soon
the sky didn't crack
the clouds didn't roll back
i never knew

it was wednesday
a cold and cloudy night
the moment would have passed me by
if i wasn't looking right
but here we are
and everythings different now
who would have knew?

where are we going?
i don't even know where we've been
what are we doing again?

it was wednesday
are accidents really meant to happen?
earthquakes and tornados
a letter sent, return to sender
best laid plans are laid to waste
the tortoise always wins the race
or so i've heard

it was only wednesday
things like this are meant to happen
friday or saturday
or a special occassion
sometime when the birds are singing
flowers are in full bloom
and the world's at peace

where are we going?
i don't even know where we've been
what are we doing again?

it was wednesday
it was wednesday
it was wednesday
 

04  poetry   [top]

saw you just the other day
standing in your special way
looking so good
i could just swallow you whole

but you are so far away
out of reach
even when i stand right next to you

now i know there are words i could say
to make you mine
so why play these silly games
when you could just tell me, tell me

because..

i want to write poetry
with my tongue on your skin
i want to write poetry
something half as beautiful as you
i want to write poetry

now you turn to me and smile
wave and say goodbye
as if you've no idea whats on my mind
don't go, don't go

if you could just see
whats in my heart and mind
you'd never walk away
you'd come closer, come closer

because..

i want to write poetry
with my tongue on your skin
i want to write poetry
something half as beautiful as you
i want to write poetry

i want to write poetry
to stand the test of time
to make you mine
to haunt your mind
to make you blind
to anyone else but me
to help you find
what you've been searching for
all this time

i want to write poetry
 

05  apple a day  [top]

you can get up at seven am
run five miles to work
get your eight hours sleep
eat three meals a day

and you can take all your pills
see the doctor for all of your ills
eat a low carb, high protein diet
get a yearly flu shot, treat yourself right

an apple a day
it doesn't matter
you're going to die anyway

you can go to church every sunday
say a prayer each night
follow all the ten commandments
love your neighbor as yourself

you can have your plastic wrapped sex
or never touch anyone at all
wash your hands before each meal
use an exfoliating gel

an apple a day
it doesn't matter
you're going to die anyway

so burn the candle at both ends
live every day like its your last
(because it might be)
leave no stone unturned
never look back
 

06  dirty mind  [top]

im only a man
god only gave me two hands
oh, but i wish i had more
for what my mind has in store for you

but now you won't even kiss me
because you say ive got a dirty mind
i cant deny it
ive got a dirty mind

so go ahead and stare at me
see what you can find
behind all this serenity
ive got a dirty mind

ive only got one tongue
but ill whisper dirty things in your ear
and ill use it to lick you
...everywhere

it's funny..
i never once heard you complain
when your head was buried in the pillow
and you were screaming out my name

when we were up against the wall
so wild, hot and free
you moaned "harder"
i didnt see you stopping me

so go ahead and stare at me
see what you can find
read the sign on the marquee
ive got a dirty mind

so go ahead and lose yourself
speak whats on your mind
ill do whatever your little heart desires
ive got a dirty mind

so ive got a dirty mind
sue me

so ive got a dirty mind
use me
use me
use me
 

07  now is the time  [top]

too many yesterdays
too much of life has passed you by
too many things you could've done
if you'd only tried

jump out of a plane
drive fast around the bend
climb a tall mountain
follow the rainbow to it's end

now is the time
tomorrow never comes
now is the time
you can have what you want

somewhere there's a place
where no one comes to harm
thought we'd finally found it
just another false alarm

drink the finest wine
fill your cup til it overflows
make love by moonlight
feel the sand beneath your toes

see the worlds seven wonders
try to find number eight
live the moment
tomorrow may be too late

now is the time
tomorrow never comes
now is the time
you can have what you want
 

08  lose control  [top]

im a good boy
except when im not
shy and innocent
except when im caught

cant you see whats behind my smile?

the sunlights faded
but it's never too late
i see the look in your eyes
there's no need to wait

why later when you can it have now?

i know what it's like to lose control
i know what it's like, what it's like

i always do
except when i dont
i always will
except when i wont

can't you read the truth within the lie?

this life's much too short
let's enjoy it while we can
turn down the lights
strike up the band

we can do anything you want to try

i know what it's like to lose control
i know what it's like, what it's like
i know what it's like to lose control
i know, i know

09  take it   [top]

i stay awake
to keep the wolves at bay
your lips dont move
but i hear every word you say

world full of noise
full of sound and fury
but not you
your voice is music to me

here is my hand
reach out and take it
here is my heart
reach out and take it
reach out and take it

the finest gifts
were made to give to you
ive made you a cake
so you can have it and eat it too

here is my hand
reach out and take it
here is my heart
reach out and take it

though all of this shall pass
the years may come and go
though everything changes
there's one thing i know

i cannot forget
this moment set in stone
things will never be the same
on my own

10  my other life  [top]

in my other life
you're laying right beside me
sleeping peacefully
your breath comes soft and slow

in my other life
you're only thinking of me
on your tv set
i’m the star of every show

in my other life
the sun is bright and shining
in this cool breeze
i bring joy to your heart

in my other life
i shower you with riches
take you everywhere
make you the finest art

it's only just a dream
i know it's only just a dream
but i'd rather
keep dreaming

in my other life
you never feel the winter
untouched by harm
you never taste the sour

in my other life
roses have no thorns
in each others arms
we wish away the hours

in my other life
there's no such thing as someone else
in our secret world
there's only you and me

in my other life
there's only happing endings
our own fairytale
you're laying right beside me

it's only just a dream
i know it's only just a dream
but i'd rather
keep dreaming

keep dreaming…

11  goodnight  [top]

another night on the town
to lose yourself in the crowd
but everyone disappeared
as you walked out the door

you feel so alone
it's a quarter past two
but somewhere beyond these walls
someone's dreaming of you

goodnight
sweet dreams
maybe tomorrow will be a better day

goodnight
sweet dreams
even the darkest cloud floats away

two lovers kiss
their last kiss goodbye
two strangers meet
who'll be lovers for life

what are we doing here?
how long will this last?
this crazy world spins & spins & spins & spins
every moment becomes the past

goodnight
sweet dreams
maybe tomorrow will be a better day

goodnight
sweet dreams
even the darkest cloud floats away

the grass is green
the sky is blue
what really matters more?
what you think or what you do?

and none of this makes sense
nothing seems to fit
nature or nurture? life really is
what you make of it

goodnight
sweet dreams
maybe tomorrow will be a better day

goodnight
sweet dreams
even the darkest cloud floats away
