My First Mistake

Well my first mistake
Was the one I made 
When I said hello
And the rest, you know 
Is history
For you and me

And mistake number two
Were the words “I do” 
All the plans we made
I was so afraid
Of losing you

Nothing was the same
Everything had changed 
When I knew I’d I made my first mistake 

I knew right away  
That my last mistake
Lowered my defense
Which I’d do again 
Any day

Will you need me
Never leave me
Love me keep me
Always need me 


Looking Back at Me 

Was it up to me
Was there any other way 
This was gonna be

Did I have a chance
Could I change my mind and then
Take a different stance

Turn out the lights
Shut the door
Even more 
There is nothing left to see
Looking back at me

Keep on walking 
No one’s talking to me
Save yourself and

Make this easy
Take what’s left and be free
Tell them I’m the mastermind 

Nothing left to see
Looking back at me


We’re An Idea

Here we are, here we stand
Watching minutes turn to hours
Lost in space, stuck in place
Wondering if we have the power

To be what we want to see and to hear
We’re an idea

Long ago, far away
Unprepared for stormy weather
Made it through, thought we knew
We would always be together

Someday maybe we can get it right
Even if we can’t agree
One day, maybe we’ll give up the fight
And simply let each other be


Girl With A Broken Heart

I’ll be here tonight
Cause I fell in love
Cause I fell in love
With a girl with a broken heart

You’re with me tonight 
Cause you fell in love
Cause you fell in love
And we don’t want to be apart 

And I’ll be standing by your side 
I’ll make sure that you’re all right 
I’ll be everything you 
Want right now

When the heavens tear apart
I will always play my part
One day you will see my heart is broken too

I’ll be by your side
Cause you fell in love
Yeah you fell in love 
And you don’t wanna be alone 

You can cry all night
Cause I fell in love
Yeah I fell in love
With a girl I have always known

Don’t you see me standing here
Can’t you see and can’t you hear
Don’t you know I won’t be here forever?

I’ve been waiting oh so long
Written you so many songs
Pretty soon you’ll know it’s now or never

 

The World is Waiting

You will go
As I know
I’ve always understood
Make your way
Find your place
I did the best I could

Go ahead 
Don’t forget
The whole wide world 
is waiting there you for you
To see what you will do

When it’s time
I won’t cry
Cause things will be okay
Disappear
I’ll stay here
Yeah that’s the deal we made

And like a bird in flight
You’ll fly away one night
And I know it’s gonna be all right
Tonight

Tried to sleep
Counted sheep
There’s too much on my mind
Yesterday’s
Gone away
What happened to the time? 

To The Stars

I never knew about anything 
Everything always missed me
Out of tune when I want to sing
If I could then I would be

Standing up and tearing up 
the songs you want to hear
That blow away the fear
And all the kids could cheer

Make me shake me 
Take us far
I’ll be the one to
Save you take you
To the stars 

I think about it from time to time
In my mind I was killing
Ricocheting from rhyme to rhyme
I would go, they were willing 

Cool Kid At The Party 

She’s the cool kid at the party everybody wants to know 
Maybe that’s why she’s protective of her time 
While she’s cruising down the highway listening to the radio
You don’t ever have to ask what’s on her mind

While her friends are making plans she sits oblivious at home
Wondering who would want to go out every night
She’s a walking contradiction by now everybody knows 
That she’s an introverted party socialite 

She walks, she goes, she speaks, she knows
That nothing feels as good as being free
She hears, she reads, she talks, she sees 
She’s the person everybody wants to be
She’s the cool kid at the party

She knows exactly what she thinks and she will always speak her mind 
She’s the best friend that her friends will ever have 
And even when she’s furious she’s rarely impolite
Still you might not want to ever make her mad

Her friends invite her out most every single night 
They never want to do a thing without her 
She doesn’t care

A Place In Time

We could fly to Majorca
It’s just a day from Barcelona
We’ll do only what we please
Sleeping by the sea day after day

The summer sun up in the summer sky
Your summer skin and then your summer eyes
We’ll find a blanket and a beer
Swim in the ocean clear and we will play

You’ll see every little part of me
You’ll see how it can be
And we’ll find right over this horizon line
We’ll find a place in time

We will vacation like the Germans do
Eating squid and drinking red vermouth
All the olives we can stand
Again and again, just you and me

We can sail out on the ocean blue
The perfect color it was made for you
The sunset dancing on the shore
Like none I’ve ever seen before just wait and see

In the rain, on the beach, everything we want is in our reach
In the day, and the night, it’s the feelings that we satisfy
Arm in arm, hand in hand, sharing every day without a plan
Like a Sunday, every single day

We’ll rent a bike and go explore the town
Try not to knock too many people down
Cause we haven’t got a care
No troubles anywhere it’s really just as well

And if Majorca seems too far away
Then we can save it for another day
So many other things to do
Like how ‘bout me and you go back to our hotel?

Tenterhooks

You know what love is
That’s how it seemed
You used to say that all the time 

And now you tell me
It was a dream
Am I supposed to read your mind?

You say you’re confused 
But I know I love you
Some things are not the way they look 

Once we were lovers
Or so you said
We’d lie in bed all afternoon
Is that the same thing
You told your friends 
When I told mine that I loved you?

You say you’re confused 
But I know I love you
Some things are not the way they look 
You pick up my heart  
You tear it apart 
Can’t live my life on tenterhooks

I’ll wait for you a long, long time 
But I won’t wait forever 
I know I’ll be on tenterhooks 
As long we’re together 

Float Away 

Baby, can you save me
Can you lift me up enough 
So my head is up above 

The water, getting colder 
Like a king without a crown 
I’m the one who’s sinking down
      
But you show me what to do
And you make it all feel new                    
And I don’t want to let you go

Oh then you take my disarray 
And make it yesterday 
And I can feel waves behind 
Float away

This ocean, of emotion
It’s like everything is wrong 
I’ve been treading for too long

The swimming, is beginning 
I can see that’s someone’s there
And I’m coming up for air 

I’ve been swimming with the sharks
I’ve been searching in the dark
I don’t know what to do or say

I’ve been looking for a sign
I’ve been waiting for the time
You and I can simply float away

We Can Stay

We don’t have to do anything
We don’t have to go anywhere 
We could be anyplace
We don’t have to be anyone
We don’t have to see anyone
We can stay

What if we stayed
We just never went back
We were planted like all of the trees?
What if we strayed, from the plans that we had
And we followed the warm ocean breeze?

What if we held, to the promise we made
When we said we would never forget?
What if we stopped, ever being afraid
And we looked for a way to say yes?

What if we thought, we were being betrayed
By a feeling that we’ve never known?
What if we knew, we could always have stayed
And we could make anyplace home?

It isn’t easy to pick up and leave
But maybe there’s another way 
We could decide not to pick up and leave 
We could decide to stay
