Lyrics
Fever
On a bed of stone I held you tight
Down those darkened halls we danced all night
All you had to do was look my way
You cradled all my restless days
I had a fever then
It kept burning up inside
My temperature would warm our bed when you were by my side
I had a fever then
I thought there was no cure
But the moment that you left that fever left for good
When I came home late you were by the door
With open arms I didn't need much more
We would talk until our tongues were blue
And sometimes stay in bed all afternoon
I had a fever then
It kept burning up inside
My temperature would warm our bed when you were by my side
I had a fever then
I thought there was no cure
But the moment that you left that fever left for good
I had a fever then
It kept burning up inside
My temperature would warm our bed when you were by my side
I had a fever then
I thought there was no cure
But the moment that you left that fever left for good
I had a fever then
It kept burning up inside
My temperature would warm our bed when you were by my side
I had a fever then
I thought there was no cure
But the moment that you left that fever left for good
Fingerprints
I wanna hold you until your sky turns black and blue
Make sure that you’re never out of view
Take your bed of roses
Make sure that there's room for two
By the waters edge your thoughts will flood my mind
As a breeze blows through the Sound I'll be paralyzed in time
Thinking of the many ways I can make you mine
Leaving fingerprints
Little imprints on your heart
I'll try anything just to light a spark
I'll make sure that these puddles from your tears evaporate for good
If you only knew, I would
I'll be the needle that injects your veins with hope
Make sure that you're covered
Keep you safe and warm
Be forever present
So you never feel alone
I'll be the shadow on the wall that sticks around
The pillar that you lean on
The cloud that breaks your fall
No matter where life sentences you to be
I'll be there when you call
Leaving fingerprints
Little imprints on your heart
I'll try anything just to light a spark
I'll make sure that these puddles from your tears evaporate for good
If you only knew, I would
I won't be like the mist that disappears as the sun comes up
Or that buzz you always lose just when you start to have some fun
I'll be the only voice you hear when this storm of yours decides to blow through
I would
If you only knew, I would
I would
If you only knew, I would
Leaving fingerprints
Little imprints on your heart
I'll try anything just to light a spark
I'll make sure that these puddles from your tears evaporate for good
If you only knew, I would
6 Month Love Affair
It's 4 am and I'm kicking myself for feeling the way I do
I've tried to make some sense of this crazy thing I'm going through
Those lines around my eyes can't hide the simple truth
That I'm trapped inside this 6 month love affair I have with you
My day begins with me stumbling and crumbling at the sight of you
So much for being the one who always claimed to be the stronger of the two
But those circles surrounding my eyes can't hide the simple truth
I'm trapped inside this 6 month love affair I have with you
Today I swear that change is on its way
But then the sun reveals your silhouette
Forcing me to stay
Tomorrow I'll be so much stronger than today
I'll disavow those memories that just won’t go away
It's 4 am and again and I'm kicking myself for feeling the way I do
That bottle of red only made me forget the why I'm still in love with you
But those bags beneath my eyes can help explain the simple truth
That I'm trapped inside this 6 month love affair
Stuck inside this 6 month love affair
I’m still inside this 6 month love affair I have with you
A 6 month love affair
I’m trapped inside a 6 month love affair
Because of You
Being raised in the arms of self-encouragement
Believing everything I ever did was right
But oh how things have changed and everything is different
Now that you have taken over my mind
So I go na na na na
Na na na na because of you
I just go na na na na
Na na na na because of you
It's so hard to change my ways and just be through with you
It’s a struggle that I never seem to win
Every time I see your face I get delusional
You're my hurry up and wait to won't go away
So I go na na na na
Na na na na because of you
I just go na na na na
Na na na na because of you
You
Because of you
Because of you
You
Because of you
Because of you
You
Because of you
Because of you
You
What if we took a chance and see just what becomes of this
Does it really matter if anything at all
I got time to kill and I think you should be part of it
Can't think of any better way to watch me fall
So I go na na na na
Na na na na because of you
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na because of you
Between You and Paradise
The raindrops fall from a cloudless sky
The thunder roars beneath the stars at night
I'm staring into space with my eyes closed tight
I’m stuck in the middle between you and paradise
That dusty old road has no end in sight
The sun is beating down in the heat of the night
A lover that’s told that love is blind,
I'm stuck in the middle between you and paradise
I’m stuck in the middle between you
I'm stuck in the middle afraid to get hurt
I’m stuck in the middle
Surrounded by her
With that sun sinking fast and the moon drifting by
I'm stuck in the middle between you and paradise
Between a heavy love and a life that is cold
Warmed by a fire or left all alone
Stuck with my shadow or starved by desire
I'm stuck in the middle between you and paradise
I’m stuck in the middle between you and paradise
I’m stuck in the middle between you
I'm stuck in the middle afraid to get hurt
I’m stuck in the middle
Surrounded by her
With that sun sinking fast and the moon drifting by
I'm stuck in the middle between you and paradise
I'm stuck in the middle afraid to get hurt
I’m stuck in the middle
Surrounded by her
With that sun sinking fast and the moon drifting by
I'm stuck in the middle between you and paradise
One of These Days
I wake up each day and I march right out the door
I'm prepared to evade all the ugly that's out there waiting wanting more
I make up my mind to see the only things I like
Like that girl on the street or the sun keeping beat to the music in my mind
I know its a crazy way to live but its the only way I know
Oh oh oh
You take a little bit by bit and hope that little bit will grow
Oh oh oh
Wait a minute wait a minute what's this I hear
Am I really in trouble or you just egging me
I don't remember or I don't recall
That picture doesn't look like me at all
Stop, take the time to breathe
Hope this all goes away
I can see myself laying on a beach chasing rainbows while I sleep
But I know its a crazy way to live but its the only way I know
Oh oh oh
You take a little bit by bit and hope that little bit will grow
Just a little bit by bit
One and two
One of these days I'll get my act together
Make my mamma proud and my children glow
One of these days I'll get my act together
Make my mamma proud and my children glow
One of these days I'll get my act together
Make my mamma proud and my children glow
One of these days I'll get my act together
Make my mamma proud and my children glow
Someone
Again
Fussing and feeling like I'm overdue
Hoping my luck will change
Got this hundred pound weight hanging on my heart
Dragging me down but then
It’s alright
It’s OK
Let’s stop and do it again
Some days are a bore and as the nights get rough
(You stop and go because it never ends)
The cycle just never ends
(Once you stop you start again)
Every girl I meet lies between the sheets
(You stop and go because it never ends)
It’s hard to break the trend
(Once you stop you start again)
But it’s alright
It’s OK
Let’s stop and do it again
Get away, get away, get away from me
I'm not ready to go home yet
There's a garden I see that’s waiting for me
But hey, I'm not ready to go home yet
Tropical regrets
The desert leaves me a mess
A piece of ground where I can lay my head
But I'm not ready yet
But it’s alright
It’s OK
Let’s stop and do it again
That crooked smile and that tousled hair
A train wreck in my bed
Tossing and turning like a who knows what
But life ain't finished yet
It’s alright
It’s OK
Let’s stop and do it again
So get away, get away, get away from me
I'm not ready to go home yet
You stop and go because it never ends
Once you stop you start again
There's a garden I see that’s waiting for me
But hey, I'm not ready to go home yet
You stop and go because it never ends
Once you stop you start again
You stop and go because it never ends
Once you stop you start again
You stop and go because it never ends
Once you stop you start again
You stop and go because it never ends
Once you stop you start again (Never Over)
So There
Carry on my hopeless thoughts that bring me to this point
I'm lost
My faith grows weak when we're apart
So there
I heard a rumor that you've found
A heart that fits your scattered love
How rumors go they make the rounds
So there
And yes I think the changes in the air are in my head
They’re in my head
And my fears of losing you are
They’re in my head
Head
He called to inform me that his time's been wisely spent
Loving me was his intent
So there
Why I constantly torture myself is anyone's guess
Simply I'll just blame my ignorance
So there
And yes I think the changes in the air are in my head
They’re in my head
And my fears of losing you are
They’re in my head
Head
And yes I think the changes in the air are in my head
They’re in my head
And my fears of losing you are
They’re in my head
Head
And yes I think the changes in the air are in my head
They’re in my head (Yes I think the changes in the air)
And my fears of losing you are
They’re in my head
Head
And my fears of losing you are in my head
They’re in my head
Times Like These
I've seen the pain that love leaves on the heart
I've felt the hurt that cries out in the dark
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
She thought her life was ready to burst
Her only wish was to be rid of this curse
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
It's times like these I reach for the stars
And hope that my heart won't get torn apart
It's times like these I shoot for the moon
With each day that passes brings me closer to you
I've seen the days that roll into nights
That become years that make up a life
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
To measure a gain that makes up a loss
To gather up hope before it gets tossed
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
It's times like these I reach for the stars
And hope that my heart won't get torn apart
It's times like these I shoot for the moon
With each day that passes brings me closer to you
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
I've seen the pain that love leaves on the heart (Oh to be free of it)
I've felt the hurt that cries out in the dark (Oh to be free of it)
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
I've seen the days that roll into nights (Oh to be free of it)
That become years that make up a life (Oh to be free of it)
Oh to be free of it
Free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
Oh to be free of it
A Thousand Times
A thousand suns have past
A thousand moons are gone
What will it take for me to have you back in my arms?
This rusty road I find my feet are drifting on
Will take me so much further
Than the thousand miles that I left behind
And every memory gone bad
Is a thousand miles away
Every good time I have ever had
Is a thousand miles away
All that’s left are the memories drifting in the past
So I'll pray a thousand times that those memories will last
A thousand lonely days
A thousand lonely nights
My fear is that this loneliness will suffocate my life
So with every breath I take I fill my lungs with hope
That each and every day will bring me
A thousand miles closer to your arms
And every memory gone bad
Is a thousand miles away
Every good time I have ever had
Is a thousand miles away
All that’s left are the memories drifting in the past
So I'll pray a thousand times that those memories will last
A thousand suns have past
A thousand moons are gone
What will it take for me to have you back in my arms?
