smile
04:07
|

|
it’s time to paint it on again
adjust my smile smooth down my dress
make sure the shoes both match, and leave
jump in the car, i’m fast asleep
and all the people in my dreams
seem so much happier to me
than all the people that I see
in real life and on the tv
this is a circus
the crowd, waits for you to sing
this is a circus
it’s time, to step into the ring
make us smile
when I awake, the worlds the same
open the door, step into the light
with all the other painted faces by my side
the more you clap and shout the more we hide
and all the people in my dreams
seems so much happier to me
than all the people that I see
in real life and on the tv
this is a circus
so high that everything seems small
this is a circus
the crowd, waits for us to fall
make us smile
send in the clowns
and when the light begins to fade
i’m all alone upon the stage
the crowd is gone and no one sees
remove the mask, reveal the real me
this is a circus
the crowd, waits for you to sing
this is a circus
it’s time to step into the ring
this is a circus
so high that everything seems small
this is a circus
the crowd waits for us to fall
make us smile…

eternity
03:54
|
|||
|
seems like I felt this way before
but my memory is not to be trusted
so many things flashing through my brain
was it real or a dream or something else
you’re staring at me like a criminal
but i’m not the one at fault this time
are all my questions just too hard to reply
it’s not a riddle, just open your mind
all this time i’ve been waiting for you to believe
eternity would seem to me to be the way to go
i’m not afraid of being alone again
but I would rather be with you
seems like i’ve said this all before
but I don’t trust it, I don’t trust it, I don’t trust it
are you feeling anything at all
cause your indifference has got me climbing up the walls
all this time i’ve been waiting for you to believe
eternity would seem to me to be the way to go
i’m not afraid of being alone again
but I would rather be with you

several things
04:03
|
|||
|
I am, wasting away
the older I get
approaching the end of the line
I never meant to be
here at this time
but circumstance and chance have me
behind, is the glass half full
does it matter, I can always fill it again
throwing caution into the wind
come what may, cei la vie, oh well
i’m taking the road most traveled
in spite of myself
I have several things left to say
left to do, left to see
the whole world’s calling out
take a chance, come and see, come and see
in a perfect world nobody cries
and no one gets hurt from a broken heart
skies are blue in the day
and the rain only falls in the night
when everyone’s sleeping
finally everything falls into place
I have no more cares or worries
and the last thing of the several things
that I want you to know before I have to go
down the road most traveled
in spite of myself

counting hours
05:10
|
|||
|
tic, of the clock marches forward
wait, for the bell to chime noon
patience, I can’t tell when it’s coming
think, that it has to be soon
wasting all my time counting hours
rather be drifting out to the sea
or gathering moss in a field full of flowers
time won’t wait
so i’d better get going
sound, shuffling feet march along
weight, of the world sinking down
patience, softly singing the words of a song
all hope, lies in this truth
wasting time in a line going nowhere fast
refuse to be trapped like a rat on a sinking ship
if there comes a choice between this life or the one in my dreams
i will fly like a butterfly
across the warm summer breeze
i will run to the forest
and live there among the trees
i will never look up on the wall at the clock
and wonder what if…

Maybe
04:37
|
|||
|
you used to be
someone I could believe in
someone much better than me
and now you’re no better than the others
i’m sorry to say…
you weren’t so smart
locking yourself in your house
and no one to call with a key
no one except maybe me, maybe
the sun will always brings a new day
after a while
this feels like the place to be
and all of your dreams are still dreams
they’re starting to fade
well i’m here to say
that you are still my hero
and i’m going to show you the way
just reach out and grab it
the sun will always bring a new day
the dream, is the key
imagine where you want to be
search deep inside
and you’ll find the answer
maybe
the sun will always bring a new day

Tighter Still
03:58

|
wait a day
might as well stay, awhile
here with me
where the breeze, blows
just say now
time grows shorter
then we dream
awake a scream, out loud
leaving leaves a hole
kicks around my soul
shoulda, might as well
coulda, hard to tell
face this, face to face
in our quiet place
hold me tighter still
tighter still
wait a day
i’ve got so much more to say.

it's not too hard
04:45
|
|||
|
if you believe in the miracle of trust
and that karma’s hands always touch
everything, whether near or out of touch
gotta keep on reaching, cause it never hurts
to try, it’s not so hard to try
in the end, you see there’s no purpose
except to live your life to the fullest
and protect your soul from this world of corruption
to treat each other with respect, cause it never hurts
to smile, it’s not too hard to smile
cause you won’t ever change a thing without trying
and you won’t ever make em sing without smiling
i know it seems harder than this, i know it’s not easy
just try and smile
its not too hard
any change
just a little
can help you along
just try and smile
it’s not so hard.

As You Wish
04:44
|

|
as you wish said the boy
to the girl with the sparkling eyes
so it goes, so they say
he was taken from her that day
and her deep blue eyes went silent
just another sad tale, so sorry
so her heart grew cold
as the time passed by
but she still held a spark
for the boy inside
who was sailing away
on the ocean blue
but she never knew
as you wish said the man
who went tumbling down the hill
so it goes, so they say
the man was the boy she loved
and he bested a giant to save her
inconceivable, so sorry
at the end of the tale
you’ll wiping your eyes
all the good people lived
all the bad peopled died
and true love waits
at the end of the page
so they say
but the saddest part
as they rode off into the sunset
is that everyone
won’t be smiling tomorrow
it’s a lie you’ve been deceived
there’s no such thing as happy endings
so sorry

Cease and Desist
04:27
|
|||
|
lover cease
and desist what you say
cause there’s a ton of trouble
coming your way
lover be strong
it’s gonna be a crazy ride
but when it all hits the fan
i’ll be the one with the plan
and i’ll be right here by your side
just lay low, undercover
it’s in the star, this was meant to be
keep your mind open and you will see
this soon shall pass if you keep your mind open

She Said
03:55
|
|||
|
way to go
great escape
such a clever girl you are
made the grade
change the course
all because of what she said
climb up the ladder
release the lion trapped inside
all our thoughts are clearer now
never surrender
release the lion the trapped inside
all our thoughts are clearer now
someday is now
long ago
you remember
young and full of ideas
made a choice
took that vow
disappear inside
weighted down
full of guilt
too much responsibility
painful memories
living in harmony, but dead inside
thoughts are clearer now
thoughts are clearer now
I accept me, for me
someday is now
