Far Away
Wide awake, you can’t sleep as you look at the light from the shades
Close your eyes, but it doesn’t help you forget the hurt that resides
Yeah my heart goes out to you, or anyone who’s felt this way
I can’t lie, I’ve been there too with sadness I can’t place
Cause I know how you feel right now
When it all looks surreal & the morning light feels close
But you’re far away
You should see everything in color, no room for black & white
Start living, there’s no time to get hung up on all that sucks in life
Yeah my heart goes out to you, or anyone who’s felt this way
I can’t lie, I’ve been there too with sadness & the growing pains
And you’ve reached for the stars, but never gotten that far
Where’s the joy that lived inside your life
Has it died, or are you holding yourself down
__________________________________________________________
I’ve Fallen
I’m feeling like I never should have opened up
Cause sometimes I’m better off leaving my big mouth shut & not say so much
I’m pleasing you by musing you, it don’t take much
You’re intertwined in my crazy mind, more than the rest
So I’ve said, from the things I’ve learned in you
I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen, while the world keeps spinnin around
You tell me simple minds are amused by simple things, there’s nothing new
So why is my sky so blue, is it true that you love me like I love you
So who are you to tell me these things may not be true
Then who are you to say
When you never look away past your front door
To see the love you’re waiting for
I’ve found the love you’re looking for
I know the love you’re dying for
Yeah the world keeps spinnin while I keep falling
The world keeps spinnin while I keep falling
The world keeps spinnin while I keep falling in love

I Will Be Your Friend
I can’t say I’ve been there
I can’t say I understand
I can’t say I approve or that I want to
I won’t tell you something if you already know
I won’t believe in less then the you I’ve come to know
I will carry you wherever you need me to
I will be your friend
However lonely the road
You will not go alone
Cause I will be your friend
From the way I see it you’re the biggest star
I’d be so lucky to be half of what you are
So if you need a perspective
I’ve got a different view
I’ll show you everyday until you see the truth
I see that life can bring you down in the simplest of ways
Yeah, I feel it’s time you hear it again
That I will love you until the end
I will hold you high
Take you closer to the light
Cause I will be your friend
Yeah, I will be your friend
No matter how far away
I will always stay
Cause I will be your friend

W/O You
I thought I heard your voice
But all I heard was void
Remembered by the sounds of life
Without you
I thought I saw your face
But all it was, was me in a daze
Hypnotized, mesmerized
Without you
Oh oh whoa without you
Oh oh whoa without you
What should I do without you
You think ya got me down
But all you did was turn my world around
You made me smile, made it all worth while
Without you
You’re the song I’ll never sing
The melody that haunts me in my dreams
My one & only sad lullaby
The one that made me cry
But it’s alright…I didn’t die
My life seems cruel without you
There’s nothing new without you
So what should I do without you
__________________________________________________________
Hold on Tonight
You sail away on the water of endless time
Fighting demons all around in your mind
I pray to God that it’s not too late for you
You have so much right here left to do
I hope you do
Can’t you see
You got me going crazy
So I promise you something true
More than broken words & hearts
I know leaving is all you’re seeing
But it’d kill me too if you’d part
So can’t you just hold on tonight
Yeah, hold on tonight…tonight
Life’s too short to go home sooner than you have to
It’s more than a game, it’s your life you take
I hope you stay
Cause I love you
Yes I do
Yeah, I promise you something new
More than broken words & hearts
I know feelings are all your leaving
But it’d kill me too if you’d part
So can’t you just hold on tonight
Can’t you just hold on tonight
Yeah, hold on tonight…tonight
I love you more than life itself
I’ll hold you when you need to be held

Room to Dream
Say hello to the rest of your life
It’s all the same every night, you realize
So you say goodbye to your life
But I wish you knew the dreams that were still inside of you
Cause they still know you
You try to fly so high
On wings broken in disguise
But there’s still room for you to dream
Feeling down you try to say
Everything that makes you want to run away
I feel your pain when you look amazed
That all you know is all you’ll ever be
It’s sad to see
You cry your eyes to sleep
But if you’d wake you’d see
That there’s still room for you to dream
Yeah, there’s still room for you to dream
There’s still room for you to dream
There’s still room, yeah there’s room
There’s always room for you to dream

Just in Love With You
One day I walked outside
Saw the world in a different light
Tried to pick up the pieces where they were left
But it was one filthy mess
It’s all just fun for now
Sometime later I’ll have to take you out
Hey baby, just how does that sound
I don’t know what it is with you
Hey baby I’m just in love with you
I don’t have the slightest clue
Hey baby I’m just in love with you
I don’t know what I should do
Since I’m in love with you
One day I ran outside
Saw your face reflecting the sunlight
I was never expecting just what I saw
I think that’s why I took that fall
I sensed a different feeling coming over me
Something new that I never had seen
Hey baby, looks like it was meant to be
Some think I’ve lost my mind
I think they’re jealous they can’t find
What it is that I’ve found in you
Some think I’ve lost my mind
I think they’re crazy they can’t find
What it is that I see in you

No More Flowers
Mary lost her perfect world
Grew up to fast for sure
No one cared, or so she’d swear
About no more flowers
Mary had a way with words
But all her lines were always blurred
So she stayed, always in Rahway
To find no more flowers
Mary had her way with men
Always got what she wanted from them
But love & time, for that she’d die
To find one more flower
The morning cries with the bee’s that fly
Cause there’s no more flowers

My Heart Breaks Through
Written by TW
I see you fall alone
As you try to find a home
Wanderin for your soul
In places you fear to go
You’re always a beat to slow
You know it’s always sad to hear how the story goes
With you…
It’s you my heart breaks through
It’s you that breaks my heart
Into a million different parts
It’s you my heart breaks through
You try to find a theme
Longing to be free
Wonderin to believe
Anything from me
I talk about crazy things
From time to time but these words I’ll always mean
Now you come crawling back
Afraid to face the fact
That memories & fears have hidden your life
I know you’ve had enough
You say you’re just down on your luck
But I know there’s more than can be seen with my eyes
__________________________________________________________
I’m Not Good Enough
Midnight calls to the rain that falls
This night has reached its end
Like parades that pass away
You’re gone like the wind
Yeah you not me
Memories fade like yesterday to the setting sun
Picture us in a still frame with every sigh it’s done
Yeah you can’t see
That I’m the one who understands
That I could never be your man
With all I try still I know I can’t
Cause I’m not good enough
Yeah, I’m not good enough
Walk by our hiding place where we could always confide
Forget the past like the photographs so quick you deny
Yeah you not me
I hope you find your way
To a light of a brand new day
I hope you come back down
To a place where you can be found
Yeah you not me
Yeah, I’m the one who understands
Yeah, I’m the one without chance
Now I know I could never be your man
Cause I’m not good enough
Yeah, I’m not good enough
You can’t really lose what you’ve never had
Hard to grasp, sometimes a little sad
But it’s ok, yeah, it’s allright

Only Lonely
You’re my Autumn Walker
Oh how you’ve grown, but somehow
No you would, no you never would know
So how do you fair thee
Isolated from the world you try to take on your own
You fall like rain today
You drown into each passing wave
I’ve seen your smile fade
It washed away
Change moves slowly
I’ve seen your heart crack
It turned back
Leaving you only lonely
Taken in sometimes with your life
You’re living on the line
Running inside your mind
I’m trying so hard
I’m desperate to find you wherever you are
You are so beautiful tonight
Wanting to shine so bright
How many times does this have to go the same way down before you figure it out
And how many times can you fall before you break
__________________________________________________________
Nothing Else Can Take Your Place With Me
You’re my hope in this sad forsaken place
Breathing life in me in every step I take
And I know that nothing else can take your place with me
You’re my saving grace
You are my unseen silhouette
Taken me in when no one else would see fit
And I know that nothing else could take your place with me
You came & saved me
And I don’t deserve you even on my best day
And I see you everywhere
And nothing can compare to you, to you, to you
And I know you’ll always be
Cause nothing else can take your place with me
You’re my redemption
You are my first love
More then any other I could ever dream of
And I know that nothing else could take your place with me

This Shows Over
Taken back, surprised
There’s no compromise that there’s an end
To every word & rhyme
One day there’ll be no more to hide behind
So take a seat, take your bow
There’s no use running now
When this show’s over
This show’s over
This show’s over soon
We get one take in life
Line by line with little time
Some get themes & plots
When story boards was all you got
I hear you say “if time were only on our side”
I know I’d lay my head & cry
Cause I’d forget why we were here at all in life
Every perfect line means nothing when you die
When this show’s over
This show’s over
This show’s over fast
No more ticket stubs to keep
No more credit lines to read
When this show’s over
No more theatre darkened halls
No more curtains left to fall
When this show’s over
