Leave me behind

Thought I’d tell you yesterday that you were on my mind
But I can never catch up to you I’m left so far behind
(and) leaving me behind you is how you get ahead
well this is the very last time cuz its over

And I won’t be waiting
Til you come back to me
You’re outta the picture
Go away and let me be

Leave me behind – let go of my dignity
Leave me behind – you’re not the catch you used to be
Before I go I’ll close the door and wish you far away
I won’t be waiting like I did for you
So many times – before

Walking way ahead of me ‘cause you never hold my hand
I feel like I’m constantly burying my head in the sand
(so) now its time to tell you that its time for you to go
take your things on outta here ‘cause its over


Here's to Feeling Free

So I took off my golden halo
Took off my coat and shoes
Felt the grass under my toes
Felt the sun above my eyes

Forgetting what the reason was
I knew things didn’t look so good
Then all the things I felt important
Now I knew they never were

Its was a matter of time
Til I found myself standing in a new light

Here’s to feeling free
No more worries to ever be again
Here’s to feeling free
And that's enough for me

No more looking out the window
At things I used to do
Playing in the modern daydreams
As a kid in different shoes

Its just a matter of time
Til I found myself standing in a new light

Here’s to feeling free
No more worries to ever be again
I'm on heavens time
And that's time enough for me



Another Rainy Weekend

Another rainy weekend
Pre-monsoon
Moving all around us
Feel the pound of

Tongues in water
Ours to swallow
Drowning in our
Sinking boat

Another day
Another rainy weekend
One more day
Come get the rain

Raining in a thunder
With no minute
To catch our breath
In the air

This brilliant weekend
This real wet weekend
Is set to continue
One more day!

Another day
Another rainy weekend
One more day
Come get the rain

Another day
Another rainy weekend
One more day
Love the rain!

So Long (Maybe)


If I hadn't forgotten myself
If I hadn't forgotten myself
If I hadn't forgotten myself
I'd be on time

If I hadn't forgiven myself
If I hadn't forgiven myself
If I hadn't forgiven myself
I'd be a wreck

Cuz' I didn't mean to make you cry
No, I didn't mean to make you cry

So Long Maybe
So Long Maybe
So long Maybe
So long So long till you find a new plan

If I hadn't forbidden myself
If I hadn't forbidden myself
If I hadn't forbidden myself
You'd be in me

If you leave me I'll let you go
If you leave me I'll let you go
If you leave me I'll let you go
If you come back

So Long Maybe
So Long Maybe
So long Maybe
So long So long till you find a new plan


Weary Eyes

There's some trouble in your weary eyes
Trouble I have seen so many times before
As I think of all the many times we've sat around to talk
(I think) About the world and all the things that were to come

Finding the light to bring you home again
Looking up I see you trying to hide your fears
Moving somewhere else to break the chain that started this affect
Your so set to fix it all up in your mind

In a dream you said you saw a face that came to say
There was only but a chance that we'd survive
And in this dream the people never once got up to dance
They were mourning about the never coming rain

There's some trouble in my weary eyes
The trouble you will never ever see again
You were gone before the issue changed and I'm left now here alone
Tell me what do I do now to carry on


Your Girl

You’re the kind of guy who always get his way
And I never realized I could make such a bad mistake
You’re the kind of boy who leads the others on
And I never thought that I could fall so very hard

And I wanted to be your girl
And you never wanted nothing less than all the world
And I wanted to be your girl
For now – ‘til I’m thru with you

I’m the kind of girl who never comes undone
And you’re the kind of boy who questions where he’s coming from
I’m the kind of girl who lands on her two feet
And you’re the kind of boy who’s dug his holes so very deep

And I wanted to be your girl
And you never wanted nothing less than all the world
And I wanted to be your girl
For now – ‘til I’m thru with you



Something In Between


I've got something sweet
It's fresh and complete
It's ready to go
But your stupid

It's standing next to you
Whatcha gonna do, love
Something that remains unseen

It's what it's all about
You could go without, love
Something you have never seen

I've got something sweet
It's fresh and complete
It's ready to go
But your stupid

Instead of letting go
Of everything you know, love
When you know just what you need

You've seen the other stuff
But it's not enough, love
You need something in between

I've got something sweet
It's fresh and complete
It's ready to go
But your stupid

Beautiful Magical

Listen up again I'm coming back to tell on you
You left me off to somewhere and not much was left of you
You kicked me on the ground I think I even saw you laugh
I'm going in a circle just to make myself go somewhere
Out of time

Beautiful Magical everything is Wonderful
Even so I don't know if all my work is over
Over

Maybe if I warn the world I wouldn't have to cry
The sympathy I'd get would make you hang my tears would dry
Unhappy as I've been I can't believe you don't agree
That what we had was better than the nothing left for me you shot me
Out of time

Beautiful Magical everything in Wonderful
Even so I don't know if all my work is over
Over


Like The Sun

I wanted to stay alone in the shade
And never be the kind of girl who needs
And he came slowly like the sun
To warm my love

I wanted to stay behind the pain
And never reaching past today
And he came slowly like the sun
To warm my love

And I won’t run away
I remember everything
And I won’t lose my way with him

You wanted to stay
I needed to roam
Thinking I’d always be alone
And then he came to take your place

I wanted to stay alone in the shade
With love a memory faded grey
Then he came slowly like the sun
To warm my love

And I won’t run away
I remember everything
And I won’t lose my way with him

Everything and More


There’s a girl I used to know
Every day she would follow me home
Then one day I got lost
That’s the day that she got lost with me
And I found something


There’s a girl I know
There’s a boy I know
Why Can’t I have everything and more
He said
There’s a girl I know
There’s a boy I know
Why Can’t I have everything and more
She said


There’s a boy I used to know
Everyday he would walk me home
Then one day he got lost
And led me to a secret hideaway
And he found something 


There’s a girl I know
There’s a boy I know
Why Can’t I have everything and more
He said
There’s a girl I know
There’s a boy I know
Why Can’t I have everything and more
She said



This Day

He once told her that he’d be
Around for evermore
And she could count on him
Then one day the tragedy
Began to unfold
Like the coming of the rain

& she cried don’t take my love away – this day
No not this day
And the taste of his skin began to fade – away
This day

This day won’t be like any other
This day I will lose my love
This day will last forever
This day I will come undone
Today – no not today

He once told her never go 
Alone into the dark 
Where she could lose her way
But today is not a day 
Where she could find the strength 
To keep her demons at bay

& she cried don’t take my love away – this day
No not this day
And the taste of his skin began to fade – away
This day

This day won’t be like any other
This day I will lose my love
This day will last forever
This day I will come undone
Today – no not today

Synthia

Driving around in my old beat up town
I always see her fixing her hair
It looks so unusual because she's so different
You can tell by the way all eyes are on her

Wish I didn't care cuz' I got better things to do
Every step she takes seems to be in front of all who loves

Synthia
Everybody wants Synthia
I'm sure you've heard about Synthia
Synthia Synthia

Like a circus trapeze she'll walk a straight line
I secretly hope to see her take a fall
I feel so attracted to all things about her
I feel so repulsed by her the very same time

She's the falling star that makes you wish she'd go away
Every time her name comes up I wanna wanna wanna kick

Synthia
Everybody wants Synthia
I'm sure you've heard about Synthia
Synthia Synthia

Wish I didn't care cuz' I got better things to do
Every time her name comes up I wanna wanna wanna kick

Synthia
Everybody wants Synthia
I'm sure you've heard about Synthia
Synthia Synthia


It's Just You


I picked the one like u to be
Everything I’m not
Cos when im sad and feeling blue
Well you make me smile a lot
It’s not complicated
It’s just you

And now won’t you take a walk with me
These are turning into happy times
As you’re singing for the trees
And I could fall beneath the weight of it all
& the trees drop their leaves to watch them
sail to your feet
it’s just you
only you
it’s just you
& me too

I wrote a song today
About everything I’m not
Started as a lullaby then quickly
Turned into a love song
It’s not complicated
It’s just you



NEVERMIND LULLABYE (2007)

Spill

Cross my heart and hope to be
Free of you and misery
You can't say a single thing
Please leave my door before the morning

CHORUS:
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Quit spilling on me
Spilling on me

Even standing by your side
you pushed me back and said I lied
About the things you knew weren't true
your looking good cuz' it's all about you

CHORUS:
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Quit spilling on me
Spilling on me

BRIDGE:
Noisy sounds that fill my head
Play to every word you said
Quit spilling on me
You’re dragging me down

So to summarize your mystery
You love building up a bitter scene
Someone always has to pay
This sad sad boy's still crying mayday

CHORUS

So Glad You Dig Me

Too many people are trying to turn each other upside down
Too many people are trying to buy real love anywhere around
Then I turn as I see you there as you've been there and I'm
So glad that you dig me even though I'm out of my mind

Too many people are trying to kill the ones the love the most
I often wonder what they do to make their dreaming lover's cold
Then I turn as I see you staring deep into my eyes
So glad that you dig me even though I'm out of my mind

Sometimes I wonder why I feel the way I do
It shouldn't matter having somebody like you
Stick by me in a silly world
That gets me down inside sometimes.

Too many people are trying to tell each other what to do
Too many people are trying to get it right, like I try too
Then I turn as I see you smile at me so tenderly
You're the reason sweet dreams replace these thoughts inside of me

I feel so helpless when I think if you were gone
Strangely inspired by a world that rubs me wrong
In a panic like a little girl
on a scary roller coaster ride

So many people are trying to find a love that's true or kind
So glad that you dig me even though I'm out of my mind
Though I'm out of my mind
Though I'm out of my mind

Need To Be

VERSE 1:

Hard to remember myself without you
I don't wanna spend another day without you
You show me who I want to be
When you hold me
When you reach for me
When I seek you
When I breathe you in

CHORUS:

You were born to be the one
That I was born to love
Deeper than the sea
I was born to love only one
And you were born to echo back to me

The need to be
The need to be
The need to be

VERSE 2:

Every day forward brings me closer
To knowing my next breath won't desert me
This love reminds me how to breathe
When you hold me
When you reach for me
When I seek you
When I breathe you in

CHORUS:

You were born to be the one
That I was born to love
Deeper than the sea
I was born to love only one
And you were born to echo back to me

The need to be
The need to be
The need to be

When you hold me
When you reach for me
When I seek you
When I breathe you in

You were born to be the one
That I was born to love
Deeper than the sea
I was born to love only one
And you were born to echo back to me

The need to be
REPEAT

Ageless

Things seemed so simple before
When I look back
Meeting friends down in Los Angeles
That I hadn't seen in two whole days

Now see how things can really change
It seems so long ago
Some have gone
And still new faces came along
And some friends still hang on

We move on through the songs
We're ageless
Memories carry on
They're ageless

In a time where a dream
was still the place we needed to be
An ounce of future all lit up in a glass
Put out in a puff of smoke

Lullabies in the shape of our lives
We shared it all
And goodbyes were never easy
So we just slowly walked outside

We move on through the songs
We're ageless
Memories carry on
They're ageless

To see the faces out again
And their lookin' at me strange
Guess I'll just remember it for what it was
So that it always remains

I still see friends I used to know
We still say hi
Old friends remembering us
But we pass them by

We move on through the songs
We're ageless
Memories carry on
They're ageless

We move on through the songs
We're ageless
Memories carry on
They're ageless


She Said

Come up to my window
Let me see your eyes
She Said - she said

Come up to my window
Let me feel your hair
She Said - she said

CHORUS:
(She Said) Come up to my window
(She Said) I'll be waiting for you
(She Said) A happy ENDING’S JUST a story without an end
(She Said) And just like Mother told me
(She Said) When she read the story to me
(She Said) I wanna see if it comes true
And then I'll leave you

Come up to my window
Let me whisper in your ear
She Said she said

Come up to my window
Take me to your world
She Said she said

(She Said) Come up to my window
(She Said) I'll be waiting for you
(She Said) A happy ENDING’S JUST a story without an end
(She Said) And just like Mother told me
(She Said) When she read the story to me
(She Said) I wanna see if it comes true
And then I'll leave you

BRIDGE:
Chapter 1 had told me you'd have hair of sun spun gold
your eyes so hot with fire and your hands so good and warm
Chapter 2 had told me you had come to take me away
Dreamers often change the world but they need to be free

Come up to my window I have seen the light in your eyes and your hair
Let me feel your lips pressed close to mine your eyes like fire let me see your eyes

Fall Down

Whisper to me
Your darkest dreams
And I will keep them in my heart
As shadows fall
Upon your face
The wind blows my mind in two

And I don’t know where I stand
Can you feel my indecision
You circle around me
And my knees go week
And I fall down
I hit the ground
And I fall down

So nervously
I try to breathe
Your eyes burn into my fears
Your using me
But its so indiscreet
How will it make it all ok

And I don’t know where I stand
Can you feel my indecision
You circle around me
And my knees go week
And I fall down
I hit the ground
And I fall down

And I don't ever want to say
That you can never find your way
Without me by your side
And I don't ever want to be
Trapped between the sound of you coming
While you say goodbye

And I don’t know where I stand
Can you feel my indecision
You circle around me
And my knees go week
And I fall down
I hit the ground
And I fall down

Alexander Zabriel

I went sailing on the beach
When I spotted a black cheetah
I anchored and swam ashore
Said I’m happy to finally meet cha
Hearing music somewhere around
Possessed me body going up and down
I couldn’t stop me feet
Drove me wildly with each beat

I can’t Stop
I can’t Stop

CHORUS:
Tell me tell me tell me tell me your name is Alexander Zabriel
Alexander Alexander Alexander please oh please won’t you ring me bell
I know you are the only one to stop this magical spell that you call fun
Please Alexander Alexander please oh please won’t you ring me bell

VERSE 2:
Me feet were finally aching
And me back felt out of place
This dancing is like a devil
With a tail I’ve got to chase
My days are numbered fatal
You have tricked me, me evil cheetah
The boogie that make me dance
Gives me hives in me underpants

I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop

VERSE 3:
So the end of my strange tale
Is not the end of cheetah’s fun
This dancing will not stop
Till cheetah say when I am done
Funny how people smile
as they pass me on the beach
I guess prophecy is this for me
As long as I can make these people happy

(8 TIMES THE LAST TIME THIS IS DONE)
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop
I can’t stop

Please Alexander Alexander please oh please won’t you ring me bell
Please Alexander Alexander please oh please won’t you ring me bell (goes high on last note)

Reach For Me

I remember a time I would wander
I remember the sound of my footsteps crashing down
Waves of silence broken by the sound
I remember a time I would falter
As I reached past the point of no tomorrow seemed so calm
Now I know what it means to carry on

CHORUS:
And I would follow you to
The place I wanna be
And I would follow you thru
The sky and earth and sea
And I would find myself complete
As only I can be
When You Reach for me

VERSE 2:
You bring light to the darkness I was under
You bring light to the warmth of the sun that follows me
Into the night and thru your smile in dreams

REPEAT CHORUS

LEAD

As only I can be
As only I can be
As only I can be
When you reach for me

REPEAT CHORUS

Falkner's In Love

You don't have to leave
You don't have to stay
Love me or leave me
When my love goes away

Your book of pages
Leaves a lasting impression
But how can I get it all
When you leave no real confession

You take me in and I get hypnotized
Wish I could feel you
I can dream oh I can live this life I used to own

J
Oh J
Falkner's in love

Mornings and after
I'm wanting to cry
You are the reason I wont say goodbye

Lyric 11 has her torn between lovers
But how can you set that up when you're the one between the covers

You take me in and I get hypnotized
Wish I could feel you
I can dream oh I can live this life I used to own

J
Oh J

Reciting a passage from your eloquent letters
But you'll never give at all
And I'll go on obsessing forever

You take me in and I get hypnotized
Wish I could feel you
I can dream oh I can live this life I used to own...

Take me in and I get hypnotized
Wish I could fill you (yes, fill this time)
I can dream oh I can live this life I used to own
J
Oh J...
Falkner's in love
Falkner's in love
Falkner's in love


PopSound

PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul
PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul 

It's a drag that we can't hear it all the time
It's a craze that the undergrounders have in mind
Oh yea! I'll take you there

Just close your eyes and take my hand
I'll take you far away and take you to this place I can
Take you there

Just close your eyes and you'll be gone
Into a place you can belong
Here it comes here it comes
Here it comes 

PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul
PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul 

Open your eyes and see the colors clearly
Understanding's yours and it is yours sincerely
For you, for only you

Listen to sounds that tickle you inside
With love and laughter and all that feels alright
Yea, it feels all right!

Just hear the sounds that come alive
And let the music be your guide
Where's it all coming from
Cuz' here it comes!

BRIDGE:
Don't you wanna take a ride tonight
Don't you wanna blow your mind tonight 

PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul
PopSound get around don't let go
Put a little rhythm down in your soul
