Forget About You
04:17
|
|||
The wine should have stayed in the bottle
And I should have just walked away
And left you there
At your front door
Let the days pass us by like I never cared to know
Nineteen seventy something
Songs more compelling than the wine
You moved over to me
Like a picture were our feet
Touching and bare, where we sat on the floor
And I would not guess if that night meant to you
Like it might have meant something to me
But the way that you kissed me, there was something you knew
Forgive me if this is not true
And I’ll try to forget about you.
The wine should have stayed in the bottle
But I couldn’t just walk away
From a sound I thought I heard
Somewhere under your words
Between both our lips
Like someone you never met, but you missed
Bridge:
And so I’m left guessing
And I thought I knew
Should be nothing to me
What’s nothing to you
And maybe you’ll write me
But never to send
No second thoughts,
I don’t dare to pretend
And now I’m left guessing
And wondering why
The wine should have stayed in the bottle
But here are you are guessing what you already knew
The music was good
You stayed `cause you could
But sometimes
It’s better this way
And I just don’t know if that night meant to you
Like it might have meant something to me
In the way that I kissed you, and you kissed me too
You probably already knew
That I should try to forget about you

Rusting in the Rains
04:46
|

And I know I won’t see you again
I just need to let it go
What grew so well in the early summer
Is now buried in the snow
And I know I won’t kiss you again
Feel the pressing of your mouth
After falling with you so far up
I’ve had to walk myself back down
I understand what you are saying
I understand what you’ve been through
And what time will heal
I thought that we had jumped together
You caught yourself before the fall
Too late for me
Just not time for this to be (Hook is over D#add9 and Gm11 )
(hook x2)
I tried to free you from your tangles
You tried to tell me they were chains
And in the storm of my denial
I watched us rusting in the rains
Bridge:
You said that you’d like to run to me
Would you have come if I’d said no
We made this real and now it’s gone
It’s done, it may be over
But is it ever really over
I understand what you are saying
I understand what you’ve been through
And time it takes to heal
I thought that we had jumped together
You caught yourself before the fall
Too late for me
Just not time
I understand what you are saying
I understand what you’ve been through
The time it takes to heal
What did you really think would happen
I don’t know why it’s been so hard
For me to see
Just not time for this to be
I am not what you need, It’s just not time for this to be

The Summer Thief
03:52
|
|||
As the rain came down
I pulled her close and kissed her
The taste of Spring had faded from her lips
With that farewell touch
She stole from me the summer
And left me with a tempest in it’s place
The window is open
And I have been hoping
That she’d come through
And give it back to me (hold C)
June, July and August
Hung like wind chimes in a storm
And rang as loud as broken wedding bells
When the fruit is gone to ripen
I will climb up in that tree
Was a bitter fruit to Adam, but the kiss of Eve so sweet
The window is open
And I have been hoping
That she’d come through
And give it back to me
The door is closing
And time is frozen
The blame is all on the
Summer thief
Well, she’s wandered away
She took the sun
She took the stars
She took the universe, and left me in the dark
She's only running from herself and won't get far
The window is open
And I have been hoping
That she’d come through
And give it back to me
The door is closing
And time is frozen
The blame is all on the
Summer thief (Ooooo ooo ooo x1)
The door is closing
And time is frozen
The blame is all on the summer thief (Ooo ooo ooo out)

Passengers
03:23
|
|||
I packed up my suitcase
And headed to the garage
I sit inside the car and drive
Without the engine on
The lightbulb in the ceiling
Has now become the moon
I’ve come to pick you up again
Could never come too soon
It’s true that you were never one
To hitchhike in the midnight sun
But I can tell you, rest assured
I’m glad you are my passenger
Cause I am just a passenger with you
By streets signs in the kitchen
And stop lights in the halls
We’ve been on roads so far from home
It’s easy to get lost
A billboard up on the stairway
A girl who looks like you
I’ve passed that sign a thousand times
It means we’ll be home soon
It’s true that we were never ones
To hitchhike in the midnight sun
But you believe me, take my word
I’m glad you are my passenger
Cause I am just a passenger with you
(Instrumental break)
It’s true that we were never ones
To hitchhike in the midnight sun
But you believe me, take my word
I’m glad you are my passenger
Cause I am just a passenger with you

Turn Like a Wheel
04:16
|
|||
How long can I take this?
This siege on my heart
The gates to my fortress have always been open
There’s no need to starve me out
My soldiers have all turned against me
My guard has abandoned his post
And you, the good news, never came through the lines
When I needed some good news the most
If love turns like wheel
Does a chance come back around again?
I’ve been spinning so much, and I want you to win
But I want you to spin back to me
If love turns like a wheel
A ghost of a lover you once were
A ghost of a man who was me
Sometimes I think their returning together
For a semblance of peace
But the roads in the dark keep on changing
And there’s precious little to tell
And all I can do is surrender to time
Though it sometimes puts me through Hell
If love turns like wheel
Does a chance come back around again?
I’ve been spinning so much, and I want you to win
But I want you to spin back to me
If love turns like a wheel
Bridge:
Holding on like a tattered sail in a storm
(Tearing to pieces in the wind and the waves)
I never want you to feel lost and alone
(I could carry you over this ocean)
I will carry you home
If love turns like wheel
Does a chance come back around again?
I’ve been spinning so much, and I want you to win
But I want you to spin back to me
If love turns like a wheel
Love, turn like a wheel
And you
Turn back to me
Been spinning so much
That I want you to spin back to me
If love turns like a wheel
