200 MILES AWAY
Are you really still out there
It’s so hard to see you
When you’re 200 miles away
Voice’s drifting off to nowhere
It’s so hard to hear you
When you’re 200 miles away
Help me now I’m falling fast
I don’t what to say
Help me now I’m falling fast
Get on my knees and pray
We seem a little disconnected
It’s so hard to feel you
When you’re trying to get away
I sense a little complication
It’s so hard to love you
When you’re 200 miles away
Can’t figure you out
What you’re trying to say
I don’t know what to say
Help me now I’m falling fast
Get on my knees and pray
Voice’s drifting off to nowhere
It’s so hard to hear you
When you’re 200 miles away
I can see that we’re dying
The waters deep
It’s all gone black
it’s judgment day
I SAW THE TRUTH
Sitting by myself one day
It dawned on me
And suddenly I saw the truth
There’s two kinds of folk in this world
The kind you love
The kind that don’t love you
That’s my point of view
And that’s when I saw the truth
Standing right there looking at you
That’s when I saw the truth
Sometimes life gets the best of you
Sometimes it hurts to live
You just wanna re-do
The last 15 years of your life
But don’t kid yourself about it all
Your arrogance grew
As you sat there and watched me fall
Disappeared
Outta sight
Sitting by myself one day
It dawned on me
And suddenly
I saw the truth
So don’t call when your life goes to shit
You weren’t there for me
The messiness and reality of my life
Scared you away
PARTY GIRL
You look like a party girl
You’re so beautiful
You just might be the one
I see you dancin’ in the club
You got me in your sights
I’ve got you on the run
You look so damn good from here
A little drunk perhaps
But then you disappear
And then you’re dancing next to me
You wanna be the one
You look like hell
So what the hell
You look like a party girl to me
Could be the drugs -- could just be me but
You look like a party girl to me
I see you standing in the club
You look so beautiful
You seem to float above
All of the other wannabes
Could be your platform heels
Could be your navel ring
And then I see just what you want
You like the microphone
You grab my microphone
PAY FOR ALL MY CRIMES
I’m getting drunker with every weekend
Just to pass the time
I’m going further off the deep end
Slipping right on past my prime
But I’m not gonna stop the bleeding
If it means
I pay for all my crimes
I didn’t’ come here to cause trouble
I just came to get a drink
You stepped right into my nightmare
Something I wish you would re-think
But I’m not gonna leave here, baby
Even if it means
I’ve pushed us past the brink
I’m not done drinking thru my problems
I’m not done looking in my soul
My dark past haunts me every moment
There's more to this than you will ever ever know
So babe please just go
I’m getting drunker with every weekend
Just to pass the time
I’m going further off the deep end
Slipping right on past my prime
But I’m not gonna stop the bleeding
Even if it means
I pay for all my crimes
SAVE ME
Save me from myself
I need some healing
I’m a long way gone
I’m standing on the edge
Of this singular moment
I’m so withdrawn I’m so withdrawn
Don’t look now I’ve lost my soul
Drifting away With nowhere to go
This life of mine’s so out of control
Save me, someone save my soul
Save me from myself
I need some healing
I’m a long way gone
If you wanted to know what
This fire felt like
Just carry on
Are you part of the faithful
Or are you one of us
Come follow me welcome to Exodus
Just let the waters run over my head
There’s no use now I’m already dead
WHERE IT ALL ENDS
This is where it all ends
This is where it all stops
Today is the day
The innocence ends
This is where
My heart starts to mend
This is where we all bleed
This is where we all die
Pick yourself off the floor
I’ll be sitting right here
Waiting for you
Counting backwards from a million
Wondering when I’ll hear
From you again
I’ll be sitting right here
Waiting for you
But until that time comes I’ll sit right here
Just wondering when
This is where the clock stops
This is where the dark begins
Now is the place
That we fear the most
The emptiness
Can haunt like a ghost
This is where the pain consumes
This is where the doubt resumes
Just pick yourself off the floor
This is where it all ends
This is where it all stops
Today is the day the innocence ends
This is where my heart starts to mend
Today is the end of naivety
This is where it all crashed for me
Today is where It all stops for me
And I said don’t you
No, don’t you take away
What I have worked on for so long
What I hoped for all along
The one that finalized this bond
The one I swore would
Right my wrongs
WHO’D BE YOU
She said I want to be like
Sheryl Crowe, I swear
As she walked right by me
Winked & smiled and tossed her hair
And so I looked at her and said,
“Who’d be you?”
That’s when I looked at her and said,
“Who’d be you?”
Couldn’t stand for a single moment
To be with someone else
The thought of you being someone different
Is completely meaningless
That’s why I looked at her and said
“Who’d be you?”
And I’ll still look at you, baby
“Who’d be you?”
We trip through this world together
You are the one I chose
