Honest Eyes

Well if there's a way

N' if there's something

That you want to hear me say

If there's a little hope

Somewhere inside you for us both

Would you please reconsider

This drastic means of giving in

To our givings

Would you please take my hand

N' help me understand

What the problem is

(Chorus)

I think we've got to

Look at each other with honest eyes

Got to tell each other how we feel

Leave nothing inside

Give me your heart

And I will give you mine

But first we've got to start with

Honest eyes

Maybe you could direct me

To the right - the right train of thought

Because you see I don't think that I am on it

'Cause it's foggy down here

I'm along and I'm scared

All I can hear is

Your beating heart

Your beating heart

Your beating heart

(Chorus)

Well if there's a way

Yes n' if there is hop

Would you please reconsider

Would you please reconsider

Reconsider

Well it's all in the shoes

And the jeans

It's all in the walk and the thoughts

That move to your mouth from your dreams

N' it's all in the breeze

That cools your lungs

N' help you to see

Just how crazy

This whole world is

N' how important it all really is

Sing me a happy song

Yeah sing me a happy song

'Cause I am sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

Sing me a happy song

So when time moves fast

You've got to give up a lot

To make it last

And when time moves slow

You've got a grab your head

Remember all you know

'Cause it's all in the desire

Desires designed like drip castles

N' always, always eat red red apples

N' remember where you've been

Sing me a happy song

Yeah sing me a happy song

'Cause I am sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

Sing me a happy song

Sing me a happy song

Yeah sing me a happy song

'Cause I am sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

Sing me a happy song

Hello daddy

Are you drunk again

I've been waiting on the back porch

Waiting to come in

N' good evening daddy

You are asleep again

Lying on the T.V. couch

With you eyes hid under

Your rim

(Chorus)

But you know that you can't

You can't fool me

I know that you still love me

N' I know that it ain't all of your fault

You're just a strong headed man

With a brittle-weak-heart

N' you're waiting, yes you are waiting

For your daddy

'Cause he's going to come and he's going to

Tear you apart

But why can't you hold me

Like the other the other daddies do

And why can't you love me

Like I was a part of you

(Chorus)

Good-bye daddy

Guess that I'll be seeing you around

Because I am old enough to understand

But still too young ... I am just too young ... I am still too young

To know how

Hello daddy

Are you drunk again

I've been waiting on the back porch

Waiting on the back porch

I am still waiting on the back porch

To come in

What Have I Got To Lose

There's a blue moon crying

In my heart tonight

But you look at me n' you smile

Sayin' everything

Everything's gonna be alright

(Be alright)

But there is a place in me

That I can't hide

N' you've gotta

Got to take a little deeper look inside me

Because my heart

My heart is stronger than you'll ever know

N' god damn you

If you make me let it go

Gonna let it go

Got to let it go

Because I have

Give you my freedom

I've given you my right to choose

N' I have

I've given you my love and compassion

So tell me

What have I got to lose

You say one thing and then you do another

How am I to be your lover

If you keep changing your mind

I am telling you that I

I will change mine

I've given you my freedom

I've given you my right to choose

N' I have

I've given you my love and compassion

So tell me

What have I got to lose

I've given you my freedom

My right to choose

My compassion

What have I got to lose

N' I have

Give you my freedom

My right to choose

My compassion

What have I got to lose

Well you ask me

To sing you

A love song

N' I smile

I smile 'n say

Hold on

Let me think

That would be an old one

N' how strange

At twenty-one

Never even had one

How strange

I don't even know

Where to go and get one

How strange

How strange

A request for a love song

N' I don't even know how to sing one

Well hold one

I can't

Lie on that side

'Cause it just doesn't

Feel nice ... at all

And I am sorry

That I cannot

Make you fall in love

With my love song

I am sorry

That I cannot make you fall

But how strange

At twenty-one

N' I never even had one

How strange

I don't even know

How to go and get one

How strange

How strange

A request for a love song

At twenty-one

But you ask me

To sing you a love song

N' I smile I smile and say

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on ...

Ten Friends

Well I've got ten friends

N' a run down car

I've got three old lovers

That I left at the bar

N' I've got two pairs of shoes

N' five pairs of jeans

Am I getting through

I think I'm falling in love with you

What a life

What a trip

I can't believe I'm making it fit

What a buzz

What a ride

Do you wanna jump inside

There's room for two

There is room

Well I've got ten friends

N' a run down car

I 've got three old lovers

That I left at the bar

I've got eighth dreams

Millions of stars

Am I getting through

I think I am falling in love with you

What a life

What a trip

I can't believe I'm making it fit

What a buzz

What a ride

Do you wanna jump inside

There's room for two

There is room for two

Now I've got eleven friends

And a brand new car

N' you love me

You love me

You love me

Yeah I am ... Yeah I am

For Once In My Life

You told me

That you would love me forever

N' you told me

That you couldn't love anyone else

So you left me

To study in the country

Now I find

That you're just studying

Somebody else

N' for once in my life

I was loyal

For once in my life

I was strong

For once in my life

I was honest baby

N' for once in my life

I was wrong

But I'm not

I am not gonna try to save you

N' I'm not

I am not gonna try to change you

If she is how you really want

You'd better let me know

'Cause my emotions

They are starting to get out of control

N' for once in my life

I was loyal

For once in my life

I was strong

For once in my life

I was honest baby

N' for the first time in my life

I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.

But you see

You told me

That you would love me forever

N' you told me

That you couldn't love anyone else

So you left me

To study in Pennsylvania

N' now I find

That you are just studying

Somebody else

Yeah, now I find that you are just

You're just studying somebody else

I am left

Just studying myself

Blue Sky Night

Julie skips the light

Saves her cigarette

For later tonight

She grabs the hand of

Johnny's hip

She loves the way that they fit

They walk below the stars

Talk of dreams and traveling far

Steady in these streets of rage

They wander endlessly

In this blue sky night

The streets are lit

And their hearts beat tight

They're wandering through

The blue sky night

So they sit in a garden's grass

Talk of their love

And how it will last

Johnny says "Love's forever only 'cause it will die"

Julie says "Yeah but then we can dance in the blue sky"

The blue sky

Johnny feels his head swell

He writes another page

Of the silent yell

Julie feels him drifting away

N' she kisses him hard and brings him back to stay

In this blue sky night

The streets are lit

And their hearts beat tight

Wandering through

The blue sky

Wandering through

The blue sky

Wondering through

The blue sky night

Massive Blur

Why does it keep coming up - You ask

I want it to go away

It keeps coming between us

N' I am tired of turning away

But I'm so angry - So angry

I am so damn scared

Don't leave me now

Just hold me

Talk about anything

I don't care

Ta ta ta ta tuck a tangent

Tuck a tangent

Anywhere you like

'Cause I'm not just gonna get through it baby

Well it's not gonna happen tonight

Because it is

All in the timing

And the placement of words

You know I can chase it

I can beat it

I know it's absurd

I just can't face it - Can't face it

Because all that I see

Is a - Mass-ive Blur

So it's these women

They keep coming into my life

N' they've got the same damn story

Yeah they're living in my strife

But you see they're from a different town

N' they got a different last name

But we've got the same lonely frown

Yes n' we know how to play this game

N' we said that it is

All in the timing

And the placement of words

You know we can chase it

We can beat it

We know it's absurd

We just can't face it

Can't face it

Because all that we see

Is a mass-ive blur

So why does it keep coming up - You ask

I want it to go away

It keeps coming between us

N' I am tired of turning away

Well, it keeps

Coming between us

N' I am tired so tired ...

Take Me All

I've got an idea

I got it in my hand

N' I'm gonna turn it around

Throw it up and down

'Cause it's an idea

It's gonna make you move

Closer

It's gonna make you wonder

Why you have waited so long

To take me all

All until I fall

Take me all

All until I fall

Until I fall in love

Until I fall in love

You have got this edge

You've got it in your heart

N' my idea is t walk it

I will walk you like a plank

Like a prophet

Take me all

All until I fall

Take me all

All until I fall

Until I fall in love

Until I fall in love

Until I fall in love

Well, I'm falling ... Yeah Yeah ...

Well, I'm falling ... Yeah Yeah ...

Take me all

All until I fall

Take me all

All until I fall

Take me all

All until I fall

Take me all

All until I fall

Until I fall in love

Until I fall in love

Well I'm sitting here

On this park bench

With the sun in my eyes

N' I touch the leaves

As they fall to my knees

N' I just wonder why

Now I'm walking along the lakeside

With the pavement pulling my stride

Look down

Think of turnin' around

Jesus it's no surprise

I wonder why well I wonder why

Now I'm following my footsteps back

To the place I already was

N' I taste my tears

As I have touched the fear

Of pushing the dealer aside

But I can't be bothered

By silly

By silly arguments no no

N' I have decided

That it's all

It is all

It is all in my head

So I'm sitting here

On this park bench

With the sun in my eyes

N' I touch the leaves

As they fall to my knees

N' I wonder why

Well I wonder why

I wonder why

Well I wonder why ... Oh Oh ...

Yes and I wonder why

And I wonder why

N' I wonder why

N' I wonder why

The Meaning Of Love

This world is not ours

As much as we'd like it to be

It is someone else's

Something bigger

Bigger than you and me

But it's brought us together

Today

So we should take this thing we got baby

For everything

Everything it has to say

N' make it good

Make it happen

Hold the hand of love

Make it perfect

For just a moment

'Cause that's the meaning

That's the meaning of love

This world is not ours

As much as we'd like it to be

It is someone else's

Something bigger

Bigger than you and me

It makes you

Makes you whisper when no one's around

Makes you feel lost

But you got to put your feet

Got to put them back on the ground

N' make it good

Make it happen

Hold the hand of love

Make it perfect

For just a moment

'Cause that's the meaning

N' make it good

Make it happen

Hold the hand of love

Make it perfect

For just a moment

'Cause that's the meaning

That's the meaning

That's the meaning of love

In A World Like This

Trees that grow

against brick walls

Reach for freedom

Reach for sunlight

And stretch for certainty

In their lives

N' the slated sky

Grey with indecision

It wants to shine

It wants to cry

But it doesn't know the difference

It doesn't know the difference

It doesn't know the difference

N' neither do I

'Cause in a world like this

Dreamers are born everyday

In a world like this

These dreamers get in my way

And the heat it shakes

It shakes out the chill

That the wind sends up its back

During the dry season

Everything is still with a fear

Of never coming out

Never following through

Never ever finishing what we wanted to do

'Cause in a world like this

Dreamers are born everyday

In a world like this

These dreamers get in my way

N' the slated sky

Grey with indecision

It wants to shine

N' it wants to cry

But it doesn't know the difference

It doesn't know the difference

Yea well

... Neither do I

Breaking Vows

Love

Spreads like desire

Like a disease

All across my body

In my headaches everyday

For this lack of

Par-ti-cipation

In the other half

The talk it out and make it last-half

That's supposed to make up a good

Re-lation-ship

But this ship

It ain't going nowhere

This ship is

Docked-out

Parked-back

Stuck on this rock

With a hole in the bow

And she is breaking

Yes she's breaking

Yeah she is breaking

This vessel is

Breaking vows

N' my heart

Spreads like a flag

In wicked wind

It tears at the end

Straight out

Cutthroat

No give at the rope

Fly-high

Full-mast

Dear God this wind had better last

Or I'm gonna break

And mutter

Do it again do it again

Do it again do it again

But this ship

It ain't going nowhere

This ship is

Docked-out

Parked-back

Stuck on this rock

With a whole in the bow

And she is breaking

Yes she's breaking

Yeah, she is breaking

This vessel is

Breaking vows

Do it again do it again do it again

yeah ...
