Coffee
02:36

I drink coffee in the morning
To get me out of bed
And I turn to the Sunday newspaper
To see what Dear Abby said
I walk to the nearest bookstore
Since google couldn’t find
The girl behind the counter smiled
And said, “Love, you need love, you need love”
I’ve read all the greatest poets
To seek solace in rhyme
Even the good book says it
five hundred and eight times (OH)
I’ve sought professional advice (so they could shrink your mind)
They say your head
works just fine
Yes your feelings are perfectly normal
It’s just love, you need love, you need love
Though I hate to admit it
I put up a good fight
Yes I hate to admit it
But maybe everybody’s right
(instrumental)
Yes I hate to admit it
I put up a good fight
Yes I hate to admit it
But maybe everybody’s right
So I drink coffee in the morning
To get me out of bed
And I turn to the Sunday newspaper
And check the personal ads instead

Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
But if not now?
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
But if not now then when
So many people talking
They shake their heads
And say the world’s not working
So many people talking
But they don’t do a thing
At the end of the day
I don’t want to say
I ‘coulda lived my life that way
Oh no no
At the end of the day
I don’t want to say
That I ‘coulda, ‘shoulda, ‘woulda didn’t
But now it’s just too late
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
But if not now then when
So many people watching
They watch their world
Through a box that’s talking
So many people watching
Their lives on ABC, BBC, MTV, CNN
When does it end?
At the end of the day
I don’t want to say
I ‘coulda lived my life that way
Oh no no
At the end of the day
I don’t want to say
That I ‘coulda, ‘shoulda, ‘woulda didn’t
But now it’s just too late
Bridge
Heyyyyeah yeah
Ooooh ooooh
Heeyy yeah yea
Ooooooooooh
Why do we wait
Why do we hesitate
We give a little too much too late
We paralyze our minds
By things we never done before
You ‘gonna keep on looking out the window
Or are you ‘gonna open up the door.
Heyyyyeah yeah
Ooooh ooooh
Heeyy yeah yea
Ooooooooooh
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
Someday I’m ‘gonna make it happen
But if not now

Seal it with a Kiss
03:15
|

|
What would you do
If I told you how much
you meant to me
what would you say
if I told you I like the way
would you climb a mountain?
would you take a fall?
would you do for me?
what I’d never do at all
so long
I’ve admired you
from a near distance
so long we’re
friendly strangers
or what you’d like to call acquaintances
and I never thought
that it could be like this
so all I ask of you now
is would you seal it with a kiss
And I never thought
That it could be like this
So all I ask of you now
Is would you seal it with a kiss
With all these years behind us
And those ahead
Would you keep it
all within you
All that you’ve said
How you’d always be there
Even when my eyes can’t see
Visions of you exist
Only in my memory
And I never thought
That it could be like this
So all I ask of you now
Is would you seal It with a kiss
It’s a kind of inspiration
from which I’ve learned
you taught me how to love
how to make my heart yearn
and deep inside my soul
I know the future’s told
And I never thought
That it could be like this
So all I ask of you now
Is would you seal it with a kiss
Seal it with a kiss….

Dark Refrain
03:38
|
|||
|
I know you like Jesus
But you can’t
take away from his fame
When you gonna realize
That there’s no one here
There’s no one left to blame
How can I show you
How can I guide you
To all the right ways
When you gonna realize
That there’s no one here
There’s no one left to save
The skies have fallen
And the land’s taken by the rain
A world of wonders
And the prophecies to claim
All that’s left here
Is heaven no dark refrain
Yea yeah, no dark refrain
yea yeah
I know you like politics
But your fear
Doesn’t let you speak your mind
How can you be heard
How can we be told
If it’s all kept inside
I know you like being different
But you can’t stray away from this parade
When you gonna realize
That the answer here
is not to misbehave
(chorus)
When I came here
Things were strange
There was a cold, cold rain
When I left here
Somehow things
Well they just weren’t the same
You were a mystery
And that was all that I knew
The sands of time the tables have turned
Now that I’ve seen you
(chorus) 2x
The skies have fallen
And the land’s taken by the rain
A world of wonders and the prophecies to claim
All that’s left here is heaven no dark refrain
All that’s left here is heaven, no dark refrain.

Jerusalem
02:45

Oh Jerusalem
I think I understand
What it is about you
Well your complicated situation
Always sparks a conversation
And it’s all in the name of you
Oh, Searching
yeah everyone’s searching
For meaning in your land
Craving yeah everyone’s craving
To call you their own
How they hunger for your throne
Well the whole world’s watching
The people talking
Like they understand you
But they got you all wrong
And it’s all in your name
The source of your fame
You’re the city of peace
Gone to pieces
Oh Jerusalem
Your walls are made of sand
You lure the hearts of man
‘Cause they fight and then they fall for you
Just the way that lovers do
And it’s all in the name of you
Praising
Yea everyone’s praising
Your name in poetry
Craving yeah everyone’s craving
To call you their own
How they hunger for your throne
Well the whole world’s watching
The people talking
Like they understand you
But they got you all wrong
And it’s all in your name
The source of your fame
You’re the city of peace
Gone to pieces

It’s 1:52
And I’m thinking of you
And I’m trying
To understand what it is that I feel
It’s 1:53
And I’m looking at me
And I’m laughing
At how dumb I am
Have I forgotten?
That this is what life’s about
First you find love
Then you learn it and you love and you leave it
Yeah isn’t that what life’s about
And we cry to ourselves
How lonely we feel
When we chose to love and lost
And we paid the price
But we didn’t know the cost
Of falling in love
Of falling in love
20 to 4 I cant take anymore
what is this I see here
some people busy counting sheep
while I lay here and dream of sleep
maybe an hour or two
::pause::
(or maybe not)
‘cause I’m too busy thinking of you
And we cry to ourselves
How lonely we feel
When we chose to love and lost
And we paid the price
But we didn’t know the cost
Of falling in love
Of falling in love
Yeah
(Bridge)
who am I kidding
how presumptious of me
to think that I could figure it out
using logic
and reason and rational
three buddies of mine anytime else
woah except now………
‘cause I’m falling in love
20 past seven and the
sun came down from heaven
and shined on me
did I really just stay up all night
wondering if I’ll get anything right
beyond a shadow of a doubt
yeah isn’t that what life’s about
And we cry to ourselves
How lonely we feel
When we chose to love and lost
And we paid the price
But we didn’t know the cost
Of falling in love
Of falling in love
Of falling in love

Confession
02:47
|

|
I
I've got something on my mind
Something to say to you
‘Cause I
I’ve got feelings deep inside
The kind
That I can’t hide
So I’m hoping that you’re listening
To what it is I say
And I’m hoping that it won’t scare you
Enough
To run
Away
‘Cause, I
I got a little confession to make
When I see you
My heart starts to break
So I’m hoping that you’re listening
To what it is I say
And I’m hoping that it won’t scare you
Enough
To run
Away
Away
‘Cause I’m so in love with you
And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause you make me lose my mind
But I just want to call you mine
Oh,
I got a little confession to make
I said ohhhh.
I
I got something on my mind
Something to say to you

Lovers' Plea
02:13
|

|
Tonight I’m gonna
Celebrate our love’s romance
And I wish that you could celebrate with me
You always said we’ll be together
Well, now things changed
And I’m lucky
If I’ll ever see you again
Some of them plead for mercy
And some of them don’t even try
Now honey how could I leave you
With those tears in your eyes
(instrumental)
I tell you once I’ll tell you again
This is where the stories end
No more fooling
And crying myself to sleep
So as I sing myself to sleep
I’m dreaming of something sweet
And this is the end of a lover’s plea
Some of them plead for mercy
And some of them don’t even try
Now honey how could I leave you
With those tears in your eyes

Thoughts of You
02:18
|

|
Sunday what a sunny day
No clouds are standing in the way
All my thoughts turn skies of grey to blue
Monday starts a brand new week
I’m back to work back on my feet
Here’s to the first week without you
But Tuesday comes around
And I can’t get my feet back
on the ground
I come across a picture of you
Oh I miss you smile
I miss your face
Wish we could go to our secret place
But all I have are thoughts of you
Wednesday’s here, Give out a cheer
My friends have come
to make things clear
With I told you so’s,
now let’s go have a beer
‘Cause all my friends, they are so smart
They got the answers
from the start
Here’s what they say to do:
don’t pick up the phone
If you’re feelin’ alone
Starin’ at a picture won’t make you feel better
Forget about the past, remember you
I can’t believe I didn’t see
Thursday’s light you stole from me
Blinded, by all these thoughts of you
Friday and I’m almost there
I’m over it, old news I swear
Time for a walk to get fresh air
And just as I get to the street
I see you there
And our eyes’ meet
What should I say
What should I do
Oh if only you weren’t so complicated
If only you ever concentrated
On anything but you
Saturday my mind’s at rest
It seems as though I’ve passed the test
I made it through a week
without you
‘Cause I’m done with crying
No more tears
Time to catch up on my lost years
I spent, thinking these thoughts of you
Yes I’m done thinking these thoughts of you (3x)

So Long
03:32
|
|||
|
So many ways to say goodbye
So many reasons why
And sometimes it hurts to go our own ways
But sometimes we cannot wait
Blinded by love
I couldn’t see
It was so foolish of me
To think that I couldn’t be
Anything on my own
I wish that I’d known
So long farewell
Here I am
Without you by my side
I’m doing fine
So long farewell
It’s time to say goodbye.
Cuz it’s about time
To check you out of my head
You had your fair share of space
Now that your shadow has lifted
I feel the sun on my face
Blinded by love
I couldn’t see
It was so foolish of me
To think that I couldn’t be
Anything on my own
I wish that I’d known
So long farewell
Here I am
Without you by my side
I’m doing fine
So long farewell
It’s time to say goodbye
Don’t let the door hit you
Where the good lord
split you baby
I know it may sound harsh
But it’s the downright truth baby
(instrumental )
(chorus)
