Amsterdam 03:38
lyrics

"Amsterdam" Wake up late, I'll start the day With a meal and a joint in some café Watch the crowds go passing by The sun gets higher and so do I The world goes by at a rapid pace But my time ticks in a slower space Drifting off at 3pm In this coffeeshop in Amsterdam A hot blonde waitress collects her tip Gotta see what she's doing after the shift She reminds me of the one I left behind I lean back and lose the time The world goes by at a rapid pace But my time ticks in a slower space Drifting off at 6pm In this coffeeshop in Amsterdam Tracing back I still feel her Gros bisous dans Côte d'Azur Why can't I get her off my mind? Someday I may know all the answers But only when it no longer matters The world goes by at a rapid pace But my time ticks in a slower space Drifting off at 10pm In this coffeeshop in Amsterdam The world goes by at a rapid pace And I cannot forget her face Waking up, it's 3 again In this coffeeshop in Amsterdam

"Liquid Confidence" My stomach burns as the butterflies crash into the walls I hold my sweat in my hands I seek the words that make her laugh and smile and feel comfortable Stand up straight like a man Memories of all the dipshit things I've done in the past Are running round my head Take a swig, make sure it's big and it will flush out all the fear And I won't feel so stupid When I ask her for her number Should I wait three days to call her Should I ask her for her number Should I wait three days to call her Sometimes I think that when I drink I'm able to speak more freely The mood gets lighter with my glass I hope I don't screw up and tell her something I shouldn't this early I really want to get into her pants Memories of all the dipshit things I've done in the past Are running round my head Take a swig, make sure it's big and it will flush out all the fear And I won't feel so stupid When I ask her for her number Should I wait three days to call her Should I ask her for her number Should I wait three days to call her Memories of all the dipshit things I've done in the past Are running round my head Take a swig, make sure it's big and it will flush out all the fear And I won't feel so stupid Memories of all the dipshit things I've done in the past Are running round my head Take a swig, make sure it's big and it will flush out all the fear And I won't feel so stupid

"TV Star" I want you to be straight with me I already handed in my résumé All I want to do is spend some time with you But I'm not certain if that's okay with you I call you on the phone and talk to the machine I wait for the callback in front of the TV I watch couples in shows, that's where I want to be If you could hear me, you would hear me shouting Come and get me Come and get me Come and get me Come and get me If she likes my act, will I get the part When she calls me back, will she tell me when to start I want to try to live successfully But if this doesn't work, I'll just watch it on the TV She calls me back and agrees to go to lunch She sounded excited, but she didn't say too much I wait impatiently for noon the next day At that time, I hope to hear her say Come and get me Come and get me Come and get me Come and get me If she likes my act, will I get the part When she calls me back, will she tell me when to start I want to try to live successfully But if this doesn't work, I'll just watch it on the TV

"Catch Me If I Fall" Blue sky at night Tears from my face, coming home Would you catch me if I fall in love with you Would you catch me if I fall in love with you Would you catch me if I fall tonight Arms crossed over my shoulders Blue sky at night Tears from my face Well I've been around this fireball About 26 times now I've learned a thing or two But I haven't learned it all And I'm hoping that you'll let me stay Just a little bit longer Would you catch me if I fall in love with you Arms crossed over my shoulders Would you catch me if I fall in love with you I feel so alive You and I feel so alive You and I feel so alive You and I feel so alive...

Walk Away 04:18
lyrics

"Walk Away" Walk away, it's the only thing to do He will either follow you or he won't Walk away, do it for you 'Cause if you keep chasing him, you're just chasing him away Walk away Dream away, do anything you can do To pass the day Dream away, fill your head with dreams The nights are long and so are days But dreams will carry you away Dream away You spill your coffee, look up, and notice him He's been looking at you from across the room You cannot move, you're losing it, there's nothing that you can do The years go by, but the feelings still remain Walk away

Castaway 03:17

"Castaway" This light inside my eyes Keeps me on the ground These carefully laid plans require folded hands But the wind doesn't seem to be around While I can sink I'd rather dream And I dream of being on top of waves While I can sink I'd rather dream And I dream of better days Everything around me when I open my eyes Ripples, but it stays the same Each passing day is a day of my life That I'm working just to stay sane While I can sink I'd rather dream And I dream of being on top of waves While I can sink I'd rather dream And I dream of better days

"Beauty Runs Away" Don't tell me what I'm thinking, 'cause I gave it up Don't tell me what I should've been I've got a question, but I won't ask it I just want to get my ass kicked Beauty runs away Carve out your eyes and learn to see again I can stand the pain But beauty runs away Maybe I passed you by when I wasn't looking Maybe my lazy eye forever changed our fate I've got a question, but I won't ask it I just want to get my ass kicked Beauty runs away Carve out your eyes and learn to see again I can stand the pain But beauty runs away Let's all fall asleep and doze through all our days Let's all stop tempting fate Wait, wake up, wake up! You're dozing off Gonna miss the best part Oh well, it's too late

Pot Of Gold 04:27

"Pot Of Gold" Baby, let's turn to the left or the right Don't know where we're going, let's get there tonight Ahead of the storm we're leaving behind Come on, baby Dozens of colors reflecting the light I've never seen such a beautiful sight Your tear driven face has cornered my eye What's wrong, baby? It's the end of a rainbow, is this the right side? The leprechauns sure know how to hide Unless it was all a gratuitous lie Where's my pot of gold? Lately the wind's been singing a song Those that can hear are singing along Those who cannot don't know what is wrong Call me crazy Another bigoted homicide Superior minds are justified If nobody's wrong then nobody's right Call me crazy It's the end of a rainbow, is this the right side? The leprechauns sure know how to hide Unless it was all a gratuitous lie Where's my pot of gold?

Gimme The Keys 02:23
lyrics

"Gimme The Keys" Someone died alone in their bed last night Someone died alone on the couch Nobody had told them at 3am An earthquake would destroy their house This school of fish is getting so crowded now Everybody is first class I'm surrounded by people, but I can't feel Tell me how long is this supposed to last? Gimme the keys I'm drunk again I can get us Much closer to heaven Everybody's running in circles now Making their way around the map Since Columbus discovered the world is round Everyone's been spinning in the trap The fool moon's out tonight and I'm sober enough to drive Let's not waste money on a cab The barkeep was expecting another round But I think we've done and closed our tab Gimme the keys I'm drunk again I can get us Much closer to heaven Let's forget how to feel Let's forget how to feel Just gimme the keys Gimme the keys

"Dream Together" No one ever expects it But you'll know when it comes Just be ready to catch it And hold on The wind is the weather That's been tickling your ear As we dream together Don't worry, I'm here I wait all day for the night Just to stay up all night And watch you dream Everything's right When I'm holding you tight I will count your sheep I wait all day for the night When I'm holding you tight And we blend our dreams Baby, I love you The summer's on the horizon And we've been making waves of heat As we've been realizing We share the same dreams Our patience will always be tested Time ain't always too kind But as I'm lying here beside you I found my peace of mind I wait all day for the night Just to stay up all night And watch you dream Everything's right When I'm holding you tight I will count your sheep I wait all day for the night When I'm holding you tight And we blend our dreams Baby, I love you You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one

"Wish You'd Calm Down" I've been walking on the ceiling in my dreams I've been floating past so many different things Obstacles on the ground are now just curiosities And I wonder why I've never tried this before Wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down Wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down I've seen sinking ships float once they've made it all the way down Back up to the top and sail back into town A ship of great power, its strength renewed It's hard to believe, but it's true Wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down Wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down A blind man once told me of beautiful things That his eyes would still allow him to see The images he described so vibrantly I could almost see them myself I could almost see them myself Open your heart, open your head We're here for you, my friend Open your heart, open your head Open your heart, open your head I wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down Wish you'd calm down Wish you'd come down Wish you'd calm down

"X'ing Off The Days" And so it begins, another test of will But this is the last time I swallow that pill I'm out the door, can't believe what you do X'ing off the days til I forget you X'ing off the days X'ing off the days X'ing off the, x'ing off the X'ing off the days For the first few days, the X'es get heavy As the anger escapes through each slash of the X But soon the anger will fade and the X'es will soften 'Cause the bad times were few and the good times were often You'll plague my thoughts for a week or so Your face will appear wherever I go I'll cloud my head and try to get through X'ing off the days til I forget you X'ing off the days X'ing off the days X'ing off the, x'ing off the X'ing off the days I thought this time would be different, thought we had it made All the way up to the very last day I woke up by your side, but didn't sleep there that night You always had a thing for the element of surprise You always had a thing X'ing off the days X'ing off the days X'ing off the, x'ing off the X'ing off X'ing off the days X'ing off the days X'ing off the, x'ing off the X'ing off Well, I don't know why desire's so clever Seems I have to forget for you to remember When I stop X'ing, you'll come back to me then X'ing off the days til I see you again When I stop X'ing, you'll come back to me then When I stop X'ing, you'll come back to me then When I stop X'ing, you'll come back to me then X'ing off the days til I see you again

Tides Of Time 03:10

"Tides Of Time" You took to the river I took to the sea It sent us a shiver Occasionally Sometimes we tread water Sometimes we cut loose Sometimes we're the engine Sometimes the caboose I've been thinking of coffee And giving it up I swear to my higher self This is the last cup Well, I said the last cup Not the last refill Gotta have energy Pushing stones up a hill And the tides of time Take me for a trip The waves inside my mind Are piloting the ship I'd try to take control But I gave up long ago The moon has got its eyes on my soul I've been noticing monthly The rises and falls We have been sailing Over the squalls Just like a circle We're high and we're low Trying to fight the tide Then letting it go And the tides of time Take me for a trip The waves inside my mind Are piloting the ship I'd try to take control But I gave up long ago The moon has got its eyes on my soul The moon has got its eyes on my soul The moon has got its eyes on my soul

"Letter To A Future Child" I open my hope up to you Before you even appear Before I even know your name I know of much you will do I have been there just the same And I hope that I will still understand When you get sent home from school When you don't believe in me When you don't know quite what you mean I'll open the world up to you I'll do the best that I can I'll build a room with infinite doors So you can go anywhere So you can do anything So you will live better than me And someone somewhere might call you a name And someone somewhere might lead you astray And when the stars in your sky do not shine I will go turn them on for you And when you fear all the things that you hear I will turn down the volume for you I open my hope up to you Before you even appear Before I even know your name And someone somewhere might call you a name And someone somewhere might lead you astray And when the stars in your sky do not shine I will go turn them on for you And when you don't like the things that you see I will cover your eyes for you And when the stars in your sky do not shine I will go turn them on for you And when you fear all the things that you hear I will turn down the volume for you
