TIME SPENT
Out where the warm winds blow
And under a full Moon that glows
I built up my life to what it is now.
Some things have been left behind
Except portraits of those I call mine
When I was the one with her head in the clouds…
Yeah
Could I hold onto all that was?
Would that be asking…asking too much?
If you see me there and I’m crying it’s not ‘cause I’m blue, no
It’s just from the love and the Time Spent
Time Spent with you…
Time with you.
Letters from days gone by
Phone calls that replay in my mind…
Pictures of us caught just being ourselves.
I freefall into what will be
But I pray for the faces I really must see
To fill empty frames that wait on my shelves.
I ask you
Could I hold onto all that was
Would that be asking…asking too much?
If you see me there and I’m crying it’s not ‘cause I’m blue, no
It’s just from the love and the
Time Spent
Time Spent with you…
Time with you.
Yeah, yeah
my memories work like magic
keeping us close even though we’re far apart.
Yeah, yeah
Tears leaving me might seem tragic
But it ain’t nothing compared to the way that I feel in my heart
If you see me there and I’m crying it’s not ‘cause I’m blue, no
It’s just from the love and the Time Spent
Time Spent with you…
Time with you.

WALK AWAY
I won’t let you Walk Away and leave me –
I won’t let you it’s not that easy.
Walk Away but don’t you know
I won’t let you go…
I won’t let you Walk Away and leave me –
I won’t let you it’s not that easy.
Walk Away but don’t you know
I won’t let you go…
There’s something to be said for this…
The distance and time in between you and me
I wonder if it’s still right.
When I look for you
But you’re nowhere in sight
It’s the coldest day, the darkest night.
When I come to you but you don’t hold me tight
Well I know the truth but I’m too tired to cry
Did you say
I won’t let you Walk Away and leave me –
I won’t let you it’s not that easy.
Walk Away but don’t you know
I won’t let you go…
If I could turn back time and
Stop where it doesn’t hurt
Would the past be better than the future we deserve?
When I hope for you
Well, it’s all I can do
Because the trust is gone
But the pain is true
When I come to you with that fear in my eyes
Will you turn away?
Will we die with lies?
I won’t let you Walk Away and leave me –
I won’t let you it’s not that easy.
Walk Away but don’t you know
I won’t let you go…

ISLANDS
If you build up the walls
I will knock till they fall
Because nothing else matters more.
And if you stand on that mountain
I will scream from the shore
Because nothing else matters.
The color fades from the mist as one more day begins.
He lifts his head
She washes her hands
Time passes like a kiss
Making eternity hard to resist and a mystery they try to understand
Oh, but sometimes nothing makes sense.
Sometimes there’s a big distance
But just before the feelings change
one or the other will stop and say hey
If you build up the walls
I will knock till they fall
Because nothing else matters more.
And if you stand on that mountain
I will scream from the shore
Because nothing else matters more.
Beneath the setting sun and under thick wet palms
They try to grow
They try to have and to hold on.
Looking for some redeeming grace
Instead of some quick escape to the dark corners of their Islands.
If you build up the walls
I’ll knock till they fall
Because nothing else matters more.
And if you stand on that mountain
I’ll scream from the shore
Because nothing else matters more.
Don’t ever shut me out.
Don’t you know what we’re about –
I won’t live without you!
If you build up the walls
I will knock till they fall
Because nothing else matters more.
And if you stand on that mountain
I’ll scream from the shore
Because nothing else matters more.

SMILE
It can so hard sometimes…
Emotions change along with our minds.
Something precious, somewhat true
But don’t you know
sharing a life isn’t easy to do.
I’ve seen those
Skeletons behind every closet
It don’t matter -I’d rather forget
And try to find a new way to make you Smile
With maybe just a wish or sweet desire
Cause when I find a new way to make you Smile
Then I know we’ll always share the fire.
If I could only make you Smile.
Tell me everything
Tell me nothing.
Take those chances but give me them, too.
So much pain in so much attention
Sometimes I think we hold our hearts for ransom.
It takes a fool to love like a fool
If that’s me loving you forever it’s true.
And try to find a new way to make you Smile
With maybe just a wish or sweet desire
Cause when I find a new way to make you Smile
Then I know we’ll always share the fire.
If I could only make you Smile.
I really hate to see you cry
So I’m doing my best and stealing us time.
Sharing love and conversations
Growing through every situation.
I know
It takes a fool to love like a fool
If that’s me loving you
Forever it’s true
And try to find a new way to make you Smile
With maybe just a wish or sweet desire
Cause when I find a new way to make you Smile
Then I know we’ll always share the fire.
If I could only make you Smile.

SMALL LIFE
At the low point of celebrity
Something vengeful and ancient crawls up to me begging for a light.
It seems everyone here comes searching for that
With pockets full of wonder
Wallets full of pain and this night
It gets me thinkin’
What do they see on their side-
On the opposite street in their Small Life
Is it alright now?
Maybe it’s some misty dream or big time
On the opposite street in their Small Life
Are they alright, now?
Is it just right, now
In their Small Life?
Nothing to say and no say in things
Sometimes he grumbles and sometimes he sings
and walks east and west and east and west.
Strangely romantic how he smiles and waves –
Memories are hard to save but he still loves baby best.
I ask him
What does he see on his side-
On the opposite street in his Small Life
Is it alright now?
Maybe it’s some misty dream or big time
On the opposite street in his Small Life
Is he alright, now?
Is it just right, now
In his Small Life…Small Life?
And it’s the same damn scene when it comes to you-
Except for the comfort of a middleclass fool
Keeping you stuck when time is all that moves.
What do you see on your side-
On the opposite street in your Small Life
Is it alright now?
Maybe it’s some misty dream or big time
On the opposite street in your Small Life
Are you alright, now?
Is it just right, now
In your Small Life…Small Life…Small Life?

HEART OF THINGS
She’s learned to read the faces –
Maybe they tell her too much.
So many say the same thing and hide what we’re not.
Expecting the unexpected in everything we do –
Living those slice-of-life stories but never as a fool
Hey!
She’s in the Heart of Things
Deep in the Heart of Things
She’s in the Heart of Things
Don’t let her out.
Sometimes I hear her shouting –
She only needs to speak.
She’d throw blankets on the fire if it’d save what she needs.
She knows the right thing to do, even if it’s not what you say
Chances are fine but few and she won’t give them away.
She’s in the Heart of Things
Deep in the Heart of Things
She’s in the Heart of Things
Don’t let her out.
Well, I’m rolling down the windows just to get a better look, while 99% play dumb.
Thanking my feelings for the roads I took, trying to get out of the slum.
I know the right thing to do, even if it’s not what you say
Chances are fine but few and I won’t give them away…
hey
She’s in the Heart of Things
Deep in the Heart of Things
She’s in the Heart of Things
Don’t let her out.
