Girl Of My World

Girl Of My World
She's the girl of my world
she blows my clouds away
her sunlight echoes beautifully
in the valley here each day
she knows that I'm expecting
someday to follow through
and find the girl of my world
beneath her sky so vast and blue
Girl of my world
where's your window?
your mirror looks fine
I can't see your shadow
if I search for you, my love
will I search in vain?
Girl of my world
you need me
to keep you precious company
there's memories to shelter us
from the fire and the rain.
When twilights gold is waning
I can see her silver vail
Stretched across the evening
celestial diamond rings on its trail
the moon becomes her blue eye
that watches life below
her teardrops deepen the seas
because we'll never be alone
Girl of my world wait for me
someday we will be in reach
if I search for you, my love
just will I search in vain?
Every night I count your stars
wondering just where you are
there's memories to shelter us
from the fire and the rain.

I Don't Follow

I Don't Follow
My fun
is no one's
I'm one
to be alone
no heart
or offense
is meant
to be given
I'm brave
I'm saved
she's strange
they say
(chorus)
but I don't follow
sure don't follow
any heart but mine x2
I stay
inside
I hide
while they play
but I've got
my record collection
my head
and my faith
they try
to make me cry
she's strange
they say
(chorus)
When I leave here I will go to where the European kisses blow
where there's something new to learn and see everyday
where I can find the friends in my own kind of people
they're out there
far away
My fun
is no one's
I'm one
to be alone
I don't follow any heart but mine.

Love You Tuesday

Love You Tuesday
I dream for your comfort I dream for your smile
So I tried not to let on that I'd changed my style
under the streetlight moments together
under the starlight forever
(Chorus)
Tuesday sends me over to you babe
brings me back to you now
now
Tuesday sends me over to you babe
brings me back to you now
now
My life was confusion my heart had no name
too many evenings were spent here in shame
under the streetlight moments together
under the starlight forever
(Chorus)
(Bridge) When I'm alone I find something is growing inside
I can't hide
She comes to me oh so strong
so strong that I don't belong to you
Time will press on I will say my goodbye
and I will love whoever stays with me tonight
under the streetlight moments together
under the staright forever
under the streetlight moments together
under the staright forever

I Wish I Could Hate You

I Wish I Could Hate You
I wish I could hate you
but it's hard to find faults
I'm looking in the right place
I've opened up your vaults
You don't seem very happy
to hear me complain
I wish I could hate you
or meet you halfway
meet you halfway.
I wish I could outsmart you
know what you're all about
I'm always asking the wrong things
forget you don't like to shout
and you say you're too sensitive
I'm not trying to make you insane
I only wish I could hate you
or meet you halfway
meet you halfway.
I wish I could berate you
like you do to our friends
like how we thought Chris was crazy
for hitchhiking his ass out west
I'm not playing the judge here
without saying first I'm a big ape
I wish I could hate you
or meet you halfway
or meet you halfway.

Dream Of Holding You Again
Whoa If I've been to your mansion house
looking to take you to my home
you'll see I'm tired of walking around
I might want to relax on your front door
your daddy might want to kick me out on the street
your mama might eat you alive
for looking so pretty getting all these city boys
wanting you all the time
(chorus)
When I take you to the station i'll say,
"Will you marry me on the midnight train?"
When I take you in my arms I'll say,
"Will you never make me have to dream of holding you again?"
I'm trying to tell you for the 40th time
I'm not with anybody because I'm holding out for you
you know what kind of loving is on my mind
it's the kind that gives you shivers but it's warm and true.
I want to tell you my life ain't complete
but I'm a happy man
it's happiness I'll need in order to treat you the best that I can
I can't believe you think I'm putting you on
you say you think I'm a tease
but I'll try to tell that I'm a desperate man
dying of love's disease.
(chorus)

The Dark Summer Mountain
See if I care
If you don't hear
what's going on in my mind
wish I could do that too
I'm taking a trip
a nice long picturesque trip
and I know that you're blind
so I doubt that you'll come too
(Chorus)
Oh the dark summer mountain
will have us back anytime
Oh the dark summer mountain
staying there shouldn't be a crime
Everyone there sits in the heat
running after dreams to meet
everybody's in despair
they got wounds in their eyes
it's kind of hard to make
out who's real and who's fake
everbody's the same
they've got something to hide
(chorus)
Waiting for the winds of change
to burn out and fade away
standing in the waiting line
me and many other friends
bending what should not be bent
something deep inside our minds
knowing there's no place to hide
(Chorus x2)

Killshiver
You run your scheme so well
you plan my pain so well
do I need to love your shell?
(chorus)Because I really don't want it now
Because I really don't want to care
I'm talking to thin air
I guess you think it's fair
to kill
to shiver
to kill
shiver
Poison me with lies
it's better than advice
go roll your fucking dice
(chorus x2)

Wrap Me In Your Hair
Now I'll make it up to you
Spare a little juice
I surely pull you through
We'll take this point of view
and put it out of use
wrap me in your hair it's time we played
You see the way we stand right now
you wonder if I care
I doubt that I'd know how
because for all this time
I've told you I don't lie
when you try to read my mind
my feelings change
Na na na na...
Now I'll make it up to you
Spare a little juice
I surely pull you through
We'll take this point of view
and put it out of use
wrap me in your hair it's time we played

So Deeply Inside Of You

So Deeply Inside You
No one told me when I was alone
I'd meet someone who I loved and turned around
but it's happened before and I'm facing the floor
hoping that this gets off the ground
Last time I met somebody so fine
it fell apart like a tall ocean wave
and it came in so fast
and it never went back
and I never felt so high again
(Chorus)
Do You feel like I do -
do you feel me so deeply inside of you
Do You feel like I do -
do you feel me so deeply inside
Now I'm waiting for the lonely days to come and take you away again
will I ever feel the same
doesn't anybody care anymore?
(Chorus)
No one told me when I was alone
I'd meet someone who I loved and turned around
but it's happened before and I'm facing the floor
hoping that this gets off the ground
(Chorus)

People Turn To Look My Way
If I backed out
I know that you'd show me the way to go
If I felt strange
with all the cool, smart people
on the high school stage.
Would you tell me the kids won't be this way forever?
If you tell me there'll be a change in the weather
I won't hide
When people turn to look my way x3
Your kind of friends don't laugh at me when you're around
When you're home i pretend I know my own ground.
Please won't you shove them around because they've roughed me up?
When I told them that we were friends they told me "shut up"
I won't hide
When people turn to look my way x3
When people turn to look my way x3
I won't hide
If I backed out
I know that you'd show me the way to go
If I felt strange
with all the cool, smart people
on the high school stage.
Would you tell me the kids won't be this way forever?
If you tell me there'll be a change in the weather
I won't hide
When people turn to look my way x3

Wish It Would Rain

Wish It Would Rain
I wish it would rain and wash away the tears I feel
coming down keep me in place make me feel I can hide
all alone and I know she feels the same
and I've really grown
it's fate you choose
and truth you ignore
I wish it would rain satisfy my deep sorrow
I can't be this down on this sunny day
with all the birds in the trees
and oh why is it her who leaves me this way?
and I've really grown
it's fate you choose
and truth you ignore
I wish I could blame her for the trust she's stolen from me
brand new scenery brand new place
look at my face it hasn't changed
but it's me I know it's me
nothing is easy anymore
I ain't got a home
it's fate you choose and truth you ignore

My Only Friend (Is God And My Guitar)
I always see my old friends passing by
how can I be so alone?
They never talk to me they think I never try
They know that I'm unknown
(Chorus)
My only friend is God and my guitar
I don't need no one to contradict
There's no way on earth I'll ever go crazy
Because this is the best that I can get
this is the best that I can get
What's gonna happen when I'm depressed
God makes it last less than a week
love songs inspired me like all the rest
now my music's about what I want to be
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
People think that I'm a fool
They all judge me by the rules
they all judge me by my past
but this had better not last
'cause I don't need no one judging me
If they're going to try it
they're crazy - but they're not
and I'll be what I'll be.

Over And Over Again

Over And Over Again
This was all the pain I could bear
Life is not lonely anymore
I was not one with myself
I tried too hard to make sense
of rejections to my body
nights that came and went
over and over again
what then is spiritual growth?
if you can't share it alone.
Now that you wait for me
Life is not troubled anymore
I want to hold you with all my strength
The beauty never leaves
You stand on my wishes too
and I trust you with my needs
over and over again
and I'll take the pain for granted
'cause you can't share it alone.
you can't share it alone.
you can't share it alone.

Growin'

Growin’
I know how it feels to be growing
I'm sending this message to you
I've come all this way to be lonely and I've grown a city in my mind
The message is familiar
But now I'm so empty from fears
I'll never know if I've been chasing dead ends all these years
(Chorus)
And comfort will find me a pillow of fears
for selling my soul to be jaded and old is a sin if I can't feel new
I know how it feels to be shrinking
away from the curses and fists
now I'm in too deep I'm as old as a creep
there's no child in my mind
but I can't do away with reflection
and the sandman still visits my dreams
but dreams teach me only of mornings I don't wish to meet
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

Into The Unknown

Into The Unknown
There's someone that I'll love
with a heart that grows
we'll grow old together
into the unknown
We'll make many memories
we'll share many woes
as we walk together
into the unknown
into the unknown
(Chorus)
Someday I will find my own true love
she will be as bright as the sun
with love
There's someone that I'll love
maybe many years from now
When I hear her calling
I'll follow the sound
Maybe she will find me
Maybe I already know
with whom it is I'll travel
into the unknown
into the unknown
(Chorus)
