Better World
Why are you staring holding me down
You act like I’m useless Do I look like a clown
Why do you run away Why won’t you fight
folding me over like you can’t see the light
Ohh your life feels empty like it never began
whispering so so softly let it begin
Do you feel alive Do you feel the reverence
Do you feel the hope Hope of a better world
Why are you falling when you’re trying to run
Why is your hand raised like you’re holding a gun
Ohh, your heart is bleeding bandages turning red
whispering so so softly when will it end
Why You Went Away
When you were little, you showed the world your smile
So precocious. I loved to see the world through your eyes
You had the biggest laugh that you shared with everyone.
I thought that all your days would be that kind of fun
I made a picture book and filled it with the life of yesterday
And kept it in my head so it would never ever go away
One day was different like it was meant to be
Your smile faded became a memory
what came so easy Became a test of fate
And all the sunshine well, it all just went away
I’d give it all to see the laugh come back to you
sell my soul to see your smile coming through
There’s nothing else in here that really really matters to me
I would give it all just for you
And now I’m watching I look for little signs
And wonder why. why. why you went away
Why you went away
Goodbye I Love You
Saw you walking past the other day
You turned and started looking right this way
And you were saying
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I love you
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I care
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I need you
Goodbye! I love you
And then you walk away
So you found me lost and laying low
If only I could find a place to go
If I knew that you’d be walking by
I’d put my running shoes on and wave goodbye
and I’d be saying.
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I love you
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I care
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I need you
Goodbye! I love you
And then you walk away
It’s not that I am weak, I’m just not strong
I don’t think that I could last that long
If I put a ring on, you’d be mine
But I couldn’t please you all the time
And you be saying.
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I love you
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I care
Goodbye! Can’t you see that I need you
Goodbye! I love you
And then you walk away
I’m Still Here
Early Saturday morning I’m here all alone
you said you were busy and you never made it back home
you didn’t want to bother me You’d be sleeping all day
I heard the voice in the distance and I knew
yeah, I knew
See me, rolling my eyes as you’re weaving
a story that just isn’t true
Trying with words to deceive me
you’re losing
See me, Looking away when you’re near me
I couldn’t believe what you’d do
trying your best to defeat me
But I’m still here.
You made me an offer You held out your hand
You promised promotions You promised me everything
I chose to believe you gave you all that I had
My sacrifice wasted I shouldn’t put dreams in your hand
See me, walking away as your screaming
Won’t let you into my head
Trying with words to defeat me
It’s amusing
See me, throwing away what you gave me
I couldn’t believe what you’d do
trying your best to defeat me
You couldn’t believe you could beat me
Try all you want
But I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
I Can’t Wait To See You Again
In this world In this place And all I see
No matter Where I go It’s you and me
You’re the place I want to be
Home feels so far away when I’ve been gone for so long
Not much left inside my suitcase Just enough to stay strong
I drove so many miles Just to get here today
I can see it in the distance It’s not that far away
I can’t wait to see you again
This has to be the last time There’s no more sites to see
And even if there were The world can see them without me
There’s nothing so important They’re just clouds in the sky
I’d rather miss it all I don’t need a goodbye
I can’t wait to see you again
I’ve seen so many, so many places in this beautiful world
They’re not as beautiful, not as beautiful
not as beautiful Not As Beautiful
I’ve seen so many, so many places in this beautiful world
They’re not as beautiful, not as beautiful
not as beautiful as you
I can’t wait to see you again
Hold Me Closer
Walking in Fairfax City You said the sun hurts your eyes
I said it’s time to run away Get out as fast as we fly
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
It’s early in the morning we don’t have to go now
Just set the house on fire and we’ll just figure it out
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
Maybe we’ll be outrageous Start running through the park
I don’t think we’re courageous It’s crazy.
Maybe we’ll find an airplane and fly far far away
Until we find an island And go crazy
We could listen to music maybe I’ll sing one for you
find a street corner preacher and ask him what Bruno would do
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
You better hold me closer Hold me closer
And when the day is over
I won’t care what we do
as long as I can spend it
with you.
Run Me Over
Do I seem nervous? Afraid of what you’re thinking?
I try to hide it but it’s here for you to see
See my hands shake? Notice the fear in my eye?
I pull my cap down lower Maybe I can try to hide
oooohhh try to hide oooohhh try to hide
Look out, you might see my falling by.
Every morning It’s always the same old thing
Try to build my courage and fall right on my face
So many words in my head that won’t fit inside my mouth
All the best things to say yet nothing’s coming out
Look out, you might see me fall again
You run me over You run me over
You run me over You run me over
Every morning Every night
Even when I’m sleeping You’re still running me over
You run me over You run me over
You run me over You run me over
Look out. You might see me falling by.
