Be Your Fool
03:14
|
|||
|
Wouldn’t be the first time love made a fool of me
I showed you everything you weren’t supposed to see
Now you saw my dark eyes
You know how my heart hides
Wish that I knew the same about you
I think this time I’ll go and get a bit too close
And when I lose you you’ll be my favorite ghost
That makes me drive through town
Right by your old house
Past the shadows on the wrong side of the street
While I was breaking my own rules
You were just playing it cool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
Let’s go ahead and put some miles in between
It’s a temporary way to sew up every seam
Now you’re done hanging round here
You’re seeing it so clear
But you never tell me where you’d rather be
Well I’ve been breaking my own rules
Letting you treat me so cruel
While you’re playing it so cool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool

Get Along
03:23

If I could turn back time and see you now
I’d see the pain behind your eyes
Knowing I hurt you less with things I said
But more by the times I turned my head
Here we were trying to get somewhere
When you’ve always been right
And I’ve never been wrong in my life
Yeah, I think we got a real good chance of getting along tonight
I see the porch light on outside my home
Thought maybe you’d be passing through
Where the time goes, I don’t think heaven knows
Woah, but I’m sure you left too soon
Here we were trying to get somewhere
But you’ve always been right
And I’ve never been wrong in my life
Yeah, I think we got a real good chance of getting along tonight
We’re here and we’re all trying to get somewhere
But you’ve always been right
And I’ve never been wrong in my life
Yeah, I think we got a real good chance of getting along tonight
Ooh, we’re gonna get along tonight

What Dreaming Is
04:08
|
|||
|
With the way that I’m heading nowhere
You’d think that I was trying to go there
In my lonely room where no one gets in
I can’t give the day a chance to begin
Then here she comes
She tells me all my work is done
And when I lose her kiss
Then I’ll know what dreaming is
Standing on a ledge behind the church
If I jumped, would you leave me in the lurch?
I got my worried mind and this clamor in my head
But I’m nowhere now, ought to go somewhere instead
Then here she comes
She tells me all my work is done
And when I lose her kiss
Then I’ll know what dreaming is
And these little heart attacks
Hope they’ll be coming back
Then here she comes
And I know all my work is done
And when I lose her kiss
I’ll know what dreaming is
That’s when I’ll know what dreaming is

Where Love Can Start
05:16
|
|||
|
Tonight I’m going nowhere
Yeah I’m staying right here
Been runnin’ round for so long
Forgot to tell you how I feel
And I’ve been trying to remember
What I was hoping to find
I guess all I really wanted was
Someone to help pass the time
Hey baby
You’re special to my heart
But maybe
We’ve been lookin’ for love where love can’t start
We got new dreams to dream now
New places to go
You wanna know if we’ll be back here
Well honey how could I know?
And I know we’ve had a good thing
And it’s been growing so fast
But there’s things in myself
That I just can’t see past
Hey baby
You’re special to my heart
But maybe
We’ve been lookin’ for love where love can’t start
Ooh, we gotta go where love can start
Hey baby
You’re special to my heart
But maybe
We’ve been lookin’ for love where love can’t start
Ooh, we gotta go where love can start
Ooh, we gotta go where love can start
Woah, but we don’t have to go right now
Hey baby

Cry All My Tears
04:11
|
|||
|
I’m gonna cry all my tears tonight
I shoulda known it couldn’t turn out right
‘Cause if I knew then
You weren’t anything like you said
I wouldn’t be a goner driving with my lights out
So I’m gonna try to cry all my tears tonight
Yeah, I’m gonna try to cry all my tears tonight
Went out on the night and I played the fool
Well it was different when it was me and you
When someone said that tomorrow’s just around the bend
And someday I’ll wake up without you in my head
So I’m gonna try to cry all my tears tonight
Yeah, I’m gonna try to cry all my tears tonight
Yeah, I’m gonna try to cry all my tears tonight
And when I’m finished with my sorrow
I’ll try and love again tomorrow

Don't Work Anymore
04:14
|
|||
|
I’m driving you home
First time in so long
Turn the radio on
And it’s just like I’m alone
Outside your house
You tore the playground down
Guess you didn’t want
Nobody playing around
You said when I was lost you’d always take me in
Now you say that there’s no way you’re doing that again
Well I thought you could open some door
But that just don’t work anymore
I’m getting gone
Up in my bedroom
I’m singing my favorite song
But the words just all sound wrong
I’m sailing on a ship, baby, that don’t come in
Wondering how it feels to even try to win
Well I thought it could open some door
But that just don’t work anymore
It just don’t work anymore
It just don’t work anymore
Mmm

Dreaming of You
02:58
|

|
How’m I gonna stop dreaming of you
How’m I gonna stop dreaming of you
How’m I gonna stop dreaming of you
Nothing gonna stop me dreaming of you
When you gonna stop acting like you do
Stop breaking my heart, baby, right in two
How long ‘til I know this feeling ain’t new
And I could find some way to get to you
Ooh, I want you in my arms
Ooh, so I hold you from afar
Then I go too far
How long ‘til I know this feeling ain’t new
And I stop getting my hopes up like I do
Well I just can’t wait to see you
Yeah, honey can’t you see I’m nothing new
Ooh, I want you in my arms
Ooh, but I’ll just hold you from afar
Then I go too far
How’m I gonna stop dreaming of you
How’m I gonna stop dreaming of you
And when you’re not the one I thought I knew
Yeah, honey I’ll just keep dreaming of you

New Love (Will Last)
03:30
|
|||
|
You say you’re leaving here tomorrow
Then your days won’t be filled with sorrow
But that’s just another lie
That won’t get you through the night
When all you’re scared of is time
But don’t walk out so fast
I know this new love will last
Won’t happen fast
But I know this new love will last
‘Cause if you ever left something good
Think how bad you’d feel
No sense in just standing here crying if you were
Doing it for the exercise
EIther way I’ve
Run out of ways to show I care
And when I come home I know you won’t be there
But that’s fair
‘Cause if you go for good
You know it’s understood
I know you’d stay if you could
But don’t walk out so fast
I know this new love will last
Won’t happen fast
But I know this new love will last
This new love will last

Songs We'd Write
03:05
|
|||
|
Last night the music was never-ending
We dreamed of a love that was always beginning
You held me so tight
The feeling was right
Before we let it die
We knew that no good could ever come from this
From each longing look on a sordid night of bliss
The words left unsaid
Turning our heads
Before we let it die
And our hearts so filled with fright
Too scared to hear the songs we'd write
Back home there's nothing that could undo this
Now that strangers lie in the lovers midst
They're fighting so frail
Loving tooth and nail
They should let it die
They're gonna let it die
They're going to let it die

We Don't Even Try
02:13
|
|||
|
Honey I want control right now
I wanna get satisfied, not get let down
Everybody loves a happy ending
Where nobody cries
But we don’t even try
And I know there’s gotta be more than this
More to the whole thing than just a hug and a kiss
You say you wanna make it work
But you’re so scared of getting hurt
So we don’t even try
And oh, I think you’ve never been hurt before
Been knocked on the floor
Yeah, you’re so scared of love
Never had your heart touched without a glove
Well the hurtin’ comes when the whole thing is done
Yeah, and we didn’t even get to the part that’s fun
There’s still tears in your eyes
Well that’s no way to say goodbye
So we don’t even try
Yeah, we don’t even try
Yeah, we don’t even try

Fun To Pretend
02:27
|
|||
|
So you wanted a song
That we could always turn on
When the day was getting dark
I put a microphone to our hearts
And I heard one heart singing how
He was just so proud to love you
And your heart was crying so loud
Well I’ve heard enough
Yeah, it’s just more fun to pretend
Well I got nowhere to go
And a new suit of clothes
But I won’t say goodbye for good
Like I know you wish I would
When the fire is fading out
I’ll throw a spark just to keep it burning
It’s not my nature to give up
When I’ve had enough
Yeah, it’s just more fun to pretend
It’ll never end

Don't Hold Me To That
03:07
|
|||
|
It’s the first time you’ve not come home
And I’ve been missing you
Don’t know how our love got torn
Wish I was kissing you
And I’ve started thinking about
How on Earth I’ll live without you now
But don’t hold me to that
If you want I’ll take it all back
I was just trying to
Picture my world without you
But don’t hold me to that
It’s what I said when I was sidetracked
Yeah, I never meant to
Live in a world without you
My how the roses have grown
Outside our bedroom door
Well they must have liked the warmth
But that’s not there no more
You were tired of the tears in my eyes
But were there not good reasons to cry?
But don’t hold me to that
If you want I’ll take it all back
Yeah, I was just trying to
Picture my world without you
But don’t hold me to that
I’m not saying it was all bad
Yeah, I never meant to
Live in a world without you
Yeah, I never meant to
Live in a world without you

Young at the End
03:03
|
|||
|
There’s a light that will return
Woah, don’t let it fade out
Though your plans have crashed and burned
Still in a dream you can make out
The heart that was so young at the start
Is now looking for another spark
It appears we had no choice
With how the loneliness rolled in
We’re pulled along by that old voice
‘Til we forgot what we came with
The hearts that were so young at the end
Are still clinging to what might have been
We file the pain into the past
‘Til it’s all that we’re good for
The promises we swore would last
Well they all just fell short
And we’re right back on the street again
Two hearts so young at the end
