So come on and lie to me
Lets let the world see what we've got
So come on and do it to me
I'll show you one thing, ha
It's been a long time coming but soon enough we'll be saying back in the day
And my words can't explain it any more
You've got a lot to learn about me
Suddenly my words can't explain it any more
And haven't you been a little bit curious
I said haven't you ever been just a little bit curios
Come on and lie to me
It's not what you expected
Something you could have never seen, ever
I said come on
And haven't you been a little bit curious
I said haven't you ever been just a little bit curios
Yea, haven't you ever been just a little bit curios

Head Back to the Middle
03:42

I know the showers in April bring the flowers in May
And I wake up each morning on different days
Count on the facts that this will happen again
Light in the morning and dark in the end
Because it all feels the same
It all feels like the same day
It all feels the same
Just in different ways
And if this hurts to watch then turn away
If its hard to stay I can show you the way out of this
But we both know the light I cast shadows the frame of my desire
A short inspection of your inclusion in fact
Has lead me to believe that we were not for each other
Regardless of impressions that made me believe that we still had a chance
It was a moment that bound us to future with out it
Finding comfort in excess bade me to see this die like the rest of those love biting drones
We should head back to the middle when the sun comes up again
And swim to the surface your hair blows in the wind
And then we'll hike down the mountain and walk across the bridge
Dancing on the fire, some would say it's sin
But we're better off without it and let's not try and kid
We fight through the winter, a snow and icy mix
As we write down for pages everything we can
The night falls upon us but morning comes again
The morning comes again
And for a second I caught you staring back at me
Out of the corner of my eyes

Stick to Lovin' You
03:43
|

|
Call in sick to work and leave your books at home
We'll waste the day away
Give me a time and place where we'll meet up
Forget our outside life
I'll make up stories and things to make you feel real good
That's the best I've got
Get lost in time and day
It'll be just us
I'll stick to lovin' you
I'll stick to lovin' you
It's the best that I've got
I'd like to see you again if you don't mind too much
But you told me you did
It wouldn't matter where or who we're with
Unless it does to you
I'll bring you flowers and things to make you feel real good
That's the best I've got
Get lost in time and day
It'll be just us
I'll stick to lovin' you
I'll stick to lovin' you
It's the best that I've got
I'll stick to loving
I firmly do believe that our instincts will set us free
If we listen and try to see what's different in you and me

More Fingers

My day's great
I'm ok
I'll say anything, I'll tell you want I want to hear
My mind's gone
I'm all wrong
I swear I'll tell you what you wanna hear
So come on tell me what you wanna hear
It could be a little round-and-round
It's a round-and-about but its ok
It'll be a little round and about but its ok
It's ok
Said a picture takes space while sound spans time
But its all up to perspective, so you shouldn't mind
Cause its the vast majority of the complex parts that we are focused on
Its a divine intervention, a series of questions brought up by me
And couldn't you see how this could be too much for me now
Too much for me
Hey, its not enough to withstand now
Then again you've got to look before you leap
On the other hand
Could be more fingers you need
I've been feeling a little worn out
Used in fact
Chewed up and spit out
And then brought back to the start
Where it cycles around and around in my head
I'm jotting numbers and notes, I step down, I jump, I fall, I recognize
I should be biting my tongue and stand by
Instead I'm digging holes
See me staring daggers
You watch me live alone among the wild
Lit up like burning coals

Wide Awake
03:15

This isn't where I wanted to be
Wide awake and lonely
What a weekend you told me
Lying awake now
And I've been dreaming of you
It seems impossible with my consciousness peaking through
I'm feeling good now
I'll be regretting it soon
Wishing these cards were in play while you were still in the room
You hear the hands click of the clock
It's at the top of the hour now
Wide awake and lonely
What a weekend you told me
I'm awake with your eyes looking at me
It's too late with the clock ticking past me
This isn't where I wanted to be
Why do we get lonely
It's amusing what you told me
When I get up in the morning
I'll be wide awake and lonely

Can't Make You Stay
03:18
|

Everything is a battle
A struggle if you will
Between two parties both with good will
For all I know you were right and I was wrong
But as far as I can see the forest ain't nothin' but a bunch of trees
And why can't I just let it go
Sometimes I can't face the day
Show you but I threw that half away
I know its due in part to the fact
That I can't make you stay
Sometimes I can't face the day
Show you cause I threw that half away
Its due in part to the fact that I
Can't make you stay

Stranger

This guy at home who can't seem to get things straight
He figures tonight is the night
So he packs up his things and he goes out alone
And left it behind
Swore he's never going back
As time went by, he feels cast out inside
He remembers what he had at home
And wished that he'd never gone out alone and left it behind
Cause there ain't no turning back
There's a stranger lying there in your doorway
And you're never gonna see him again
Said get up and go without ever knowing the name of the man at your door
Then one night, just to get out of the rain, he sat down and stared at the stars
Little did he know someone was there
Honey I'm home
No you're not welcome here
But honey its me, and I'm back
No you're not welcome here
Go
