Charlie 03:04
I know I'd like what's unlikely, visions of grandeur follow me and paint a picture of charlie, someone rather charming. Charmed by a leaf caught in the breeze, you dance on skies that are blue, your eyes, they tell stories too, don't try, I hate warnings after I've seen you here beside me… my darling I'm a fan of dreaming. Just for once fall asleep like me, embrace the night before morning, wake me with your snoring, I don't mind losing count of sheep, as long as you are awake with me. Your friendlier face I see a sign of day, pouring through you a ray of light breaks through darkness, I thank you regardless you gave me something I should keep, a friend, I'm glad we met charlie, later lets get coffee, room for two lemon bread for me, one of my favorite memories we share.

Perspective 03:36
I make my decision Decisions not based on so called facts. I lay my head on a chest I rest well slept in my choices not weighted, not colored not lacking Any perspective Any view thats untrue I speak from the heart That heart knows love A love for you. I apply my logic And my morals are lined with truth, true testament. I've cried for balance, For modern virtue and some new age principle; a commitment. Not lacking any perspective Any view thats untrue I speak from the heart That heart knows love A love for you. Not holding any agenda Any plan to subdue I think with my heart That heart knows love A love for you.

With You 05:35
Have you been there on the the lonely side of this city where the water shines from pale moonlight? that view can be so pretty, like you. Have you been there the empty parts of the country where the valleys ring when hummingbirds sing? The sound can be so lovely, like you. I miss you now and again with the howl of the wind and the hello of a hanging chime I cry aloud and again with an owl at eleven There's an echo of the changing time I have been there; the sadly swaying willow tree weeps for you and I, weeps for those with tearless eyes for me who was never meant to be with you.

Nothing makes me smile anymore, nothing's turning out like it should be. Everything has changed, and isn't it a shame, that candy doesn't ever seem as sweet? Nothing makes me laugh like I once had, summer seems like fall and day like night, everything's a mess, and now I must confess that something changed and in no way feels right. People come and go, and over time you learn, that life will pass you by, and time you'll never earn the morning that you left I wondered through the park, and with the sign of evening you vanished in the dark. Nothing makes me happy, only sad, day can come but I won't see the door there in front of me, opportunity, but nothing makes me smile anymore, not like you could so easily before.

Happy 03:30
Maybe... Maybe we're too honest for eyes to see. Is it just me or has your mind and heart been distracted lately? I think far too much and move far too fast for anything to last. He doesn't see I've been breathing. Here in my room Needing someone more More than before Forward motion I long to give My devotion. For life For fear of fear It's trust It's pulling near the stars For us For you my dear For faith You are thus far Making me Happy. It's a funny feeling feeling happy, We don't need our words to explain, It's a funny feeling feeling happy, When we smile it conceals the pain, No more rain on our window panes. It's a funny feeling feeling happy… There is the smile I've been needing. You see the hurt lying in my eyes. I want to free you from binding who long to wear a disguise For life?

I smell the raindrops I feel the wind, I think that I can fall in love again I think of him. We had our setbacks, we had our times, I think that I can put you in the back, the back of my mind. But of course I find myself here staring at pictures from our first winter. Eyes never here so blue. I know that I'm lonely; it's hard to be only here thinking of you. I take a deep breath, I say goodbye. I hope to see you looking back at me just one last time...

Without Love 04:14
I only know so many words and only have such little time, to find within these simple words these feelings that are undefined. I've tried to string a masterpiece of synonyms and metaphors, i wonder if my intentions are one that you were hoping for. I only know that words are empty if actions don't support there meaning. I meant to say how I felt all the days we were apart, I saw myself looking for something else within my heart. But what is a heart without love to fill it? Yes what is my heart without you to steal it? I love you, I love you. I organized my memories, and abandoned the darker nights, those arguments were tidal waves, that washed away our boundary lines. We've spent a short time without touch, our last a single kiss goodbye, I told myself I would be strong, I told myself I'd be alright now that I'm looking deep in your eyes, I'm seeing you again for the first time. I meant to say how I felt all the days we were apart, I saw myself looking for something else within my heart. But what is a heart without love to fill it? Yes what is my heart without you to steal it? I love you, I love you.

Good Enough 03:55
Certainly I've never felt so uncertain I'm used to playing my role behind the scenes in love I wait patiently behind the curtains for a cue to enter stage left but like others, you haven't called for me Baby am I just playing along lost inside a song I don't understand wanting something you'll never give to me, Foolishly seeking out a hand that won't reach out and be all that I can see. honestly I've never been so impatient working for intangible touch a feeling that burns hotter than resentment is that worry here again that I'm just not enough Baby why am I playing along; lost inside a verse I don't understand wanting something you'll never give to me, Foolishly seeking out a hand that won't reach out and be more than you ever thought you would, if you only could be all that I can see. Are we wasting precious time, staring at a word we just can't understand wanting something I'll never be for you, foolishly looking into my hands like I could pull you through in ways I feel I'll never be that man and even if I could would I be good enough good enough for you?

Chalk 04:30
Chalk, chalk, chalk and Crayola both are tamers of my nostalgia. Macaroni and paper plates have a way of reminding me of better days. and I plead to anyone don't you remember I'd beg don't you have a memory of that first semester? I make friends that are there for me. "An under dog for you? An under dog, we'll see." We read books wrote by Doctor Suess, we pack up our things leave a quarter after two... and I plead to anyone don't you remember I'd beg don't you have a memory of that first semester? On my street there's a sprinkler we all take our turns sprinting through the water. The chalk we used has now washed away we'll draw another picture, a memory for another day.
