IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
If you don’t want me then that’s alright but don’t leave me by a silent phone
You never call when you say you will and I end up alone
Every time we kiss goodnight and all the world seems fine
Then you vanish in total darkness leaving me behind
Then you call me up in the dead of night
Still waiting for you
I try to sleep but it may as well be light
In the dead of night
For a while I’m in your life then you cut me clear to the bone
Sick from all the damn medication, pulling me through mind zones
I’m sick of you and I’m sick of hearing promises you don’t keep
Why don’t you just leave me dear so I can get some sleep
Then you call me up in the dead of night
Still waiting for you
I try to sleep but it may as well be light
In the dead of night
I’d be through, through with you if you’d just let me go
And if you stay, that’s okay, but you gotta let me know
I’m sick of you and I’m sick of hearing promises you don’t keep
Why don’t you just leave me dear so I can get some sleep
Then you call me up in the dead of night
Still waiting for you
I try to sleep but it may as well be light
In the dead of night

SOMEONE ISN’T ME
There’s a weight upon you and the body’s tense
And there’s no time now for makin’ pretend
You’re digging through the mire that is our love
And all the time you knew there were other places I could’ve run to
All I need is a chance to break free of this mess you left behind
‘Cause I’ve run out of patience so you’ve run out of time
So now don’t you worry ‘bout who the next someone will be
All I know is someone isn’t me
Longing to remember, lost in memory
But, it’s the only thing I got that I can hold onto
You’d make it last forever until you drained me dry
And all that’s meant to last forever now has to end
All I need is a chance to break free of this mess you left behind
‘Cause I’ve run out of patience so you’ve run out of time
So now don’t you worry ‘bout who the next someone will be
All I know is someone isn’t me
Oh, I remember you
Now, I’ll never, never, never forget
All I need is a chance to break free of this mess you left behind
‘Cause I’ve run out of patience so you’ve run out of time
So now don’t you worry ‘bout who the next someone will be
All I know is someone isn’t me
Isn’t me
Someone isn’t me
Isn’t me
Someone isn’t me
Someone isn’t me
Someone isn’t me

PROMISE ME A NEW START
Maybe I tried too hard
Maybe I didn’t try hard enough
Things I could’ve done
Things I didn’t notice much
I coming back again
Mind’s made up, you’re where I wanna be
Yeah, I coming back again
Try to work it out together baby, you and me
Say what’s on your mind
And I’ll try to say what’s in my heart
I need more than words
I need a promise, so promise me a new start
I coming back again
Mind’s made up, you’re where I wanna be
Yeah, I coming back again
Try to work it out together baby, you and me
Went out searching but something went wrong
Where was the love I missed?
Ending up hurting and nights were so long
Can’t go on living like this
Well, I made it through the darkest night when things were all out of reach
And I’m still holding on
Maybe we can take it easy
No sense in coming on too strong
Maybe we can take our time
Get things right before we get ‘em all wrong
I coming back again
Mind’s made up, you’re where I wanna be
Yeah, I coming back again
Try to work it out together baby, you and me
I coming back again
Mind’s made up, you’re where I wanna be
Yeah, I coming back again
Try to work it out together baby, you and me

WHEN I’M AWAKE
Throw me a line, throw me a weight
Left there to drown while you laugh on the beach
All that I give you, and all you could take
All the forgiveness, and all the mistakes
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
Live through the good, fight through the bad
You tell me to run, but there’s nowhere I can
Hopelessly flawed and hopelessly rash
Walking the wire like a drunk acrobat
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
I can’t be with you when I’m awake
I’d sleep forever if that’s all it takes
But things that I hope for and things that I dream
Mean nothing without you, I know and it seems
That only two people of such different castes
With nothing in common have nothing to last
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
Look at me once just to see who I am
Maybe there’s something we’d both understand
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
I can’t forget you, I can’t even try
but I can keep dreaming the rest of my life
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me

PRAY FOR RAIN
The first thing I remember of all the times before
Was watching you walk out on me while I stood in the door
You in your favorite dress dragging our old suitcase
And IU just prayed for rain to wash it all away
Anyway I’ll wait
Try to get on with the day
Then tonight I’ll pray for rain
Another time this friend of mine stabbed me in the back
Sold all my possessions and all the time he laughed
He used to his advantage the friendship we had made
And i just prayed for rain to wash it all away
Anyway I’ll wait
Try to get on with the day
Then tonight I’ll pray for rain
And I never, I never wanted for this life to bring me so far down
‘Cause it’s never right, it’s never right so let the rain come pouring down
When I’m dreaming and laying in my bed
I think about the things I should’ve done and should’ve said
And each scenario runs on like a play
And I just pray for rain to wash it all away
The last thing I remember of all the times before
Was saying goodbye to all the world outside my door
It’s safe inside here, I’m an outcast anyway
And I just pray for rain to wash it all away
Anyway I’ll wait
Try to get on with the day
Then tonight I’ll pray for rain

PICTURE ON MY WALL
I want to tell you girl
Say everything ‘cause you don’t know
Sweet angel of my dreams
I’m wanting you to be with me
Do you notice me when we’re together?
Do you think of me when we’re apart?
I got your picture on my wall
Cause you’re the only one I at all
I tell it of the things I wanna do
When I find the courage I’ll find you
Oh, honey rescue me
From everything that I don’t know
And learn to love me too
Just like the way that I love you
Do you notice me when we’re together?
Do you think of me when we’re apart?
I got your picture on my wall
Cause you’re the only one I at all
I tell it of the things I wanna do
When I find the courage I’ll find you
I hear a symphony whenever you walk by, even in a crowd
And when you’re away from me
I wanna call your name out loud …scream it out
Don’t walk away from me
Give me a chance, you never know
Come out and play with me
Let’s do the town, come on let’s go
Do you notice me when we’re together?
Do you think of me when we’re apart?
I got your picture on my wall
Cause you’re the only one I at all
I tell it of the things I wanna do
When I find the courage I’ll find you
I’ll find you
I’ll find you
I’ll find you

PICK UP THE PIECES
When sadness comes creeping as the clouds unfold
Carries with it the allure from days of old
I’ll be sitting in the station coming in from the cold
When your heart is empty and you’re all on your own,
Need the touch of someone who captures the old
A spark, a thought, a feeling to latch on and to hold
If you feel like you’re losing your mind one day at a time
When life has treated you so wrong and so unkind
I’ll be there to pick up the pieces one more time
All things come full circle, back and forth we go
And we learn much more than we were ever told
But something brings us back there to things we never figured or resolved
If you feel like you’re losing your mind one day at a time
When life has treated you so wrong and so unkind
I’ll be there to pick up the pieces one more time
Like a mystery running wild that I long to solve
But it feels like we’re the only ones involved
And the road that leads me back there looks different now that you’re gone
If you feel like you’re losing your mind one day at a time
Well just hold now, it’s gonna be alright
I’ll be there to pick up the pieces one more time

MAKE IT ON OUR OWN
The purple sky and bluebirds in the trees
Looking down on you and me
Under a roof shaded from the sun
We’ll live our dream
And whatever may come our way
We’ll stare it down and walk away
You’d better leave us alone
We’ll make it on our own
Speeding on a highway to the sun
Just the chance to be as one
On a road to nowhere fast
We’ll live our dream
And whatever may come our way
We’ll stare it down and walk away
You’d better leave us alone
We’ll make it on our own
If they try to build a wall between us
Divide us into pieces
Oh, why can’t they just leave us alone?
We’ll fight until the final round and see
It will still be you and me
We’re the ones who would do anything
We’ll live our dream
And whatever may come our way
We’ll stare it down and walk away
You’d better leave us alone
We’ll make it on our own
We’ll make it on our own
We’ll make it on our own
We’ll make it on our own
We’ll make it on our own

LOSE IT ALL
Hey, why you make us wait?
We got our bags all packed and the man’s been callin’ our name
Wait, gotta feed my brain
‘Cause everybody knows we may never be around again
So we pushed up against the wall
And we tried to make it fall
And as the mortar fell around us we were ready then to lose it all
And as the days fell into night
And the fires cast their light
We knew that in the morning we’d be ready again to lose it all
Hate, why you make us hate
You take until there’s nothing to take and then you take some more
Shame, you got yourself to blame
And we’re leaving you with nothing and that’s exactly what you had before
So we pushed up against the wall
And we tried to make it fall
And as the mortar fell around us we were ready then to lose it all
And as the days fell into night
And the fires cast their light
We knew that in the morning we’d be ready again to lose it all
‘Cause there’s no Cinderellas here or any day
And we aren’t asking this of you
But there’s a reason and you are right here anyway
So now the guesswork’s over
So now the guesswork’s over
So now the guesswork’s over
Overwrought and over you
Great, that’s all there is to say
You can talk until you’re blue in the face and nothing’s gonna change
Shame, you got yourself to blame
And we’re leaving you with nothing and that’s exactly what you had before
So we pushed up against the wall
And we tried to make it fall
And as the mortar fell around us we were ready then to lose it all
And as the days fell into night
And the fires cast their light
We knew that in the morning we’d be ready again to lose it all

NOW FOR GOOD
Where do we go from here?
Lie and tell me it’s all right as we hold each other tight
Is it just a fear of love?
Are you scared to death like me wondering how it’s gonna be?
Baby, said you got me waiting
Waiting for you now
Is it true you love me now for good?
We’d meet at morning’s light
Watch the day turn into night, never thinking of goodbye
You know I’ll always have a hand to lend
That’s why you’re always gonna be my friend that I love until the end
Baby, said you got me waiting
Waiting for you now
Is it true you love me now for good?
And our waltz plays on and on
So neither has to say what words fail to convey
Baby, said you got me waiting
Waiting for you now
Is it true you love me now for good?
Darling, are you really staying?
Staying with me now
Is it true you love me now for good?
Baby, said you got me waiting
Waiting for you now
Is it true you love me now for good?

IN THE NAME OF LOVE
A handful of moments dance in time
Reflections on the water ripple the sky
All’s well in the moment, so sublime
Acting on a foggy notion of what’s right
We just act and never stop to think of
The consequences of just who we have become
And what we do are the worst things in the name of love
Never stop to wonder or ask why
We hurt the ones we love most every time
Deciding in the moment, without design
Acting on a foggy notion of what’s right
When we learn what once was truth is just a lie
Meant to build you up, then tear you down to size
And what we do is to learn to live with alibis
Never stop to wonder or realize
To forgive the ones we love most every time
In the end what is left for us to see
We blur the lines of fiction and reality
And what we do is just to side with what we most believe

RELEASE ME
How many more times should I call?
How much longer can I wait?
She said, “Release me and let me go”
Release me, release me
And let me be alone
Oh mother what should I do?
I have been such a fool
Don’t take no pity on me
Don’t feel sorry for me
I’ve built a wall around us all
Release me and let me go
Release me, release me
And let me be left alone – alone
Underneath the sycamore tree
I plot out my destiny
I’m chasing my dreams
Though the journey has left me tired and empty
She said, “Release me and let me go”
Release me, release me
And let me be alone
