Lyrics

Bullet

I dream in colors that are vivid in life

She dreams primarily in black and white

I walk in rhythm in a city in bloom

She strangles her emotions in a sheltered groove

I know there's nothing for me here

It’s too bad, you’ve got the look that lights a fire

That's been burning in your atmosphere

She don't want to talk about it and I won't let her live it down

I took a bullet for her for what

I don't get it

It's time for a change before this love starts wearing me down

Oh, starts burning me down

I’m a junkie that's addicted to love

It’s hard to let you go when its never enough

I hear you running but you're standing still

I'm just waiting for that moment I can get my fill

She don't want to talk about it and I won't let her live it down

I took a bullet for her for what

I don't get it

It's time for a change before this love starts wearing me down

There's no time to figure this out

There’s no time

There's no time to figure this out

There’s no time

If I took a bullet in the heart (There's no time to figure this out)

Would you take a bullet in your soul? (There’s no time)

Would you beg me not to leave (There's no time to figure this out)

Or would you show me to the door? (There’s no time)

If I took a bullet in the heart (There's no time to figure this out)

Would you take a bullet in your soul? (There’s no time)

Would you beg me not to leave (There's no time to figure this out)

Or would you show me to the door? (There’s no time)

She don't want to talk about it and I won't let her live it down

Down down down

I took a bullet for her for what

I don't get it

It's time for a change before this love starts wearing me down

Oh, it starts wearing me down

Before it starts wearing me down

Hard to Resist

She wants to know me

Yes, she'll try anything to catch my eye

Hard to resist her when she's so unbelievably so desirable

She wants to know just who I am

What I believe in

Where I stand

Hard to resist her when she’s so unmistakably unforgettable

My mouth is dry

My breath is short

I can't stand still

My thoughts distort

An all-time high that's not just chemical

A miracle

I feel this need to hold her close and never ever let her go

But for now I'll just hold onto hope

She wants to know just where I go

When I'm getting high or feeling low

So hard to resist her when shes so damn delectable

So encourageable

My mind just froze

I'm two drinks in

I'm lost for words

I'll try again

This room is so square

The walls are closing in

I'm struggling

I feel this need to hold her close and never ever let her go

But for now I'll hold onto this hope

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

Holding on

She wants to know me

Yes I'll try to give her any reason why

Hard to resist me when I'm so available

So obtainable

I want to know just who she is

Where she's from and where she's been

So hard to resist her when shes so unbelievably so adorable

Unmistakably unforgettable

Unbelievably so desirable

Never Left LA

I miss the sunset in your eyes

The red and gold that illuminates

Your smile across your western sky

The winds that blow down through your canyons

As they scream on through the night

Against my skin so warm and dry

Should have never left LA

I'm finding it hard to find a palm tree with those hips that sway

Should have never left LA

Never left LA

Dark circles mingle with your make-up

Matted in your hair

A loaded gun is what you are

Your naked walls expose the loneliness that you can't escape

Can't wait to hold you in my arms

Should have never left LA

I'm finding it hard to find a palm tree with those hips that sway

Should have never left LA

Never left LA

Young and running with the sand beneath my feet

Red moon rising as you softly kiss my cheek

I swore I'd never leave this place

But here I am slowly dying in this foreign land

The music haunts me as your sirens wail through the night

The open heart that brings relief

Someday you'll find me lying by your side with no regrets

Awake for all eternity

Should have never left LA

I'm finding it hard to find a palm tree with those hips that sway

Should have never left LA

Never left LA

Apartment in the Sky

On this windowsill we'll watch the city lights

Flicker on and off from my apartment in the sky

The state of world affairs won't matter much at all

We'll take it all in stride from my apartment in the sky

No rainbows needed here because tears are not allowed

Never be depressed

Can't find no reason to be down

Locked inside our world swirling in the clouds

We've reached a brand new high in my apartment in the sky

Hopeful vengeance will all cease to exist

Mindful caring will be ours if we persist

Take my hand together and we'll discover what the fuss is all about

In my apartment in the sky

Let’s watch the moon escape behind a solar wall

Then watch reappear with a million stars at its beck and call

Forever I will pray that you'll stay by my side

And live here in peace in my apartment in the sky

In my apartment in the sky

In my apartment in the sky

In my apartment in the sky

Shadows and Dust

It’s been a week and a day since I last heard your voice

I wish I could say I'm no better for worse

Who knows?

Who cares

It’s something we both don't share

Just maybe I'll call up an ex and we'll see

If you'll react just a little angry

Who knows?

It might be a start to a wonderful fight

We're so reckless

Cannonballs fly and our world is in flames

We could take it all back but the problems remain

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

Cannonballs fly until we run out of gas

Then we start to make up and hope to hell that it lasts

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

So it’s come to this

It feels a little bit strange

I’ll factor the good but it all sounds the same

It’s just a bust

We're just shadows and dust

The comings and going of a daily routine

To rejoice in the norm would be a welcome reprieve

Who knows?

It might be something we both can't hide

We're so reckless

Cannonballs fly and our world is in flames

We could take it all back but the problem remains

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

Cannonballs fly until we run out of gas

Then we start to make up and hope to hell that it lasts

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

Cannonballs fly and our world is in flames

We could take it all back but the problems remain

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

Cannonballs fly until we run out of gas

Then we start to make up and hope to hell that it lasts

Show me a love that is stronger than this

And I'll show you a heart that won’t break when it’s pissed

Modern Day Love Song

I mean nothing to you

You mean nothing to me

But we get along as we fumble through life's insecurities

You like it when I'm not around

I like it when you can't be found

But we get along as we laugh at life's improbabilities

Oh, I'm just this endless parade of mistakes

That I can't seem to get out of my head

And you're just this magnet that seems to attract

All the worst of whatever is ahead

I find nothing in you

You see nothing in me

But we get along just because that's just how it's meant to be

You fuss and I wallow

We hide in a dream that's as cloudy as the day is outside

But when we're together

As rare as they are

Those moments are hard to describe

Where in the world is it written in stone

That love is this feeling of perfect entitlement

Time and again I've seen that old story book end

So what if she's someplace other than here

I'm probably somewhere that's not even near

Living each day like we haven't a care

I mean nothing to you

You mean nothing to me

But we get along

Regardless of what others might want to believe

Long Long Ways to Go

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long way to go

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long way to go

Long long way to go

It's Friday night and I'm already broke

I’m calling a cab

I’m not hanging no more

I’m wasting my time trying to make me right

I’m grabbing that cab before I lose my mind

Got to get home is where I change my sheets

And sleep away the night

But when the morning light finds me on the floor

I know I lost that fight

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long way to go

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long ways

Long long ways to go

Long long ways to go

I heard she met a guy and she moved away

Staying out of the mud

Stepped away from the gray

I hope to hell it all works out fine

She's got more to lose than a house this time

It’s like a train wreck on the loose

Unsinkable heart with nothing to lose

As for me my hearts been broken

So many times its like deja vu

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long way to go

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long ways

Long long ways to go

I got a long long ways to go

Love smiles and it feels so good

Your head is in a cloud and you’re caught on a hook

But then her words start to sound so mean

When did this bitch arrive?

Was it when you were asleep?

Now your walking the streets and you’re all alone

It’s hard to believe that you fell this low

But the bad will change in this ebb and flow

As for me I got long long way to go

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long ways to go (Long long ways to go)

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long ways

Long long ways to go

I got a long long ways to go

Just the other day I caught a glimpse

Of how my life would be

I was fired up

Living a life that was meant for me

So I'm learning to love again learning to live again

I’m learning to smile again learning to laugh again

I'm learning to love again learning to live again

I’m learning to smile again learning to laugh again

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long way to go

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long ways

Long long ways to go

I got a long long ways to go

Living in monotone

Rocking the lowfi show

I got a long long way to go

She's locked in her dreams having a blast

Not me

I got a long long ways

Long long ways to go

I got a long long ways to go

What You Mean to Me

You're that little pot of gold that always has me wanting more

And I will never

Never get enough of it

When that sun sits on a breeze and your eyes look back at me

I will never

Never get enough of it

I'm careless

Usually forgetful

I’m overcome with details when it comes to you

I acknowledge, I'm not very assertive

Very slow to anger when it comes to you

You're that honey on my tongue

Whose taste just seems to linger on

And I will never (never)

Never get enough of it

You're the laughter in my lungs

That part of life that's always fun

And I will never (never)

Never get enough of it

I never worry

Though at times T should be

Never in a hurry when it comes to you

I'm far from mental

Marvel at the good times

Smile at the bad ones when it comes to you

I will never find the words to say just how it feels

When you take my empty words and heal my broken dreams

In the twilight of my day

As the sky slowly turns dark

I know its you I'm waiting for with open arms

You're the laughter in my lungs

That part of life that's always fun

And I will never (never)

Never get enough of it

Never get enough of it

Oh, I’ll never get enough

Oh, I’ll never get enough of it

I’ll never get enough of it

Oh, I’ll never get enough of it

Right Now

Well its Monday

Or is it Tuesday or Wednesday?

Don't have the courage to call

Can't seem to handle the fall if I fail to get a positive response at all

Perhaps I'll wait

Tell myself that I'm busy

I'll bury my heart in my work

Knowing that later this evening I'll be lost and full of remorse

That's right

I'm king of this castle I live in

But why am I here all alone?

That's right

I won't take no for an answer

So tell me why am I still here all alone

Her eyes her eyes will never release me

I'm constantly under a spell

Oh, and her skin so soft I can imagine the feeling

Just holding her close I just melt

She moves in ways that seem to amaze me

Most times it’s so hard to ignore

Oh, to submit is my only reaction

She's got me begging for more and more and more

So why am I so afraid to approach her?

Am I so weak?

I’m a trembling fool

So why am I just a rock in a soft place

Holding strong to a dream once more

Right now she's got me thinking about her

Right now I can't seem to get this under control

I've got this parachute to soften my landing

Right now this storm is blowing me off course

Hey, is it the weekend already?

These days it’s so hard to tell

It’s obvious I've failed to make an impression

So it’s just as well that I act like I'm not really troubled

By thinking that she might be with somebody else

I'll carry myself in a fashion that shows the world

I'm impressed with myself

That's right

I'm king of this castle I live in

But why am I all here all alone?

That's right

I won't take no for an answer

Tell me why am I here all alone

Right now she's got me thinking about her

Right now I can't seem to get this under control

I've got this parachute to soften my landing

Right now this storm is blowing me off course

Right now she's got me thinking about her

Right now I can't seem to get this under control

Right now this storm is blowing me

Blowing me off course

Oh, that's right

I'm king of this castle I live in

But why am I still here all alone?

That's right

I won't take no for an answer

So tell me why I’m still here all alone

Blame It On The Cold

Hellbent on staying up with all my friends

But lately I've been noticing I can't keep up with them

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

I’ll blame it on whatever suits me best

The girls I sometimes meet on the fly

They never pass the grade of what my family has in mind

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

I’ll blame it on whatever suits me best

Could it be the sands of time aren't letting go but holding tight?

At this point in my life

Just seems like yesterday I had control

Now everything around me seems so much faster than before

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

I'll blame it on whatever comes to mind

The minutes turn to years before my eyes

I do remember losing you but I sure as hell don't remember why

I’ll blame it on the cold

I’ll blame it on whatever suits me fine

Could it be the sands of time aren't letting go but holding tight?

A thousand stars that stare at me at night

I never feel alone

It always just feels right

I rise each day and take a breath and thank god I'm alive

Never once surrendering this will just to survive

But I know

I know

But I know its just not up to me at this point in my life

Hellbent on staying up with all my friends

But lately I've been noticing I can't keep up with them

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

Yeah, I’ll blame it on the cold

I’ll blame it on whatever suits me best

My Song of Songs, Chapters 1 and 2

Outside the orbit of your tender care

I fell upon a feeling that was floating there

Too scared to see if it was meant for me

A lotus blossom in a swamp of weeds

A canopy enclosed by evergreens

You are by far the summer of my dreams

The dawn breathes light

The night just slips away, yeah

Awakened by the music and your fragrance

The dawn breathes light

The night just slips away, yeah

Awakened by the music and your fragrance

Outside the orbit of your tender care

I fell upon a feeling that was floating there

Too scared to see if it was meant for me

A lotus blossom in a swamp of weeds

A canopy enclosed by evergreens

You are by far the summer of my dreams
