So I Don't 04:30
went for a drive last night pulled over and sat underneath a moonless sky I asked myself why I haven't written you in a while thought about it and figured it's nothin' you've ever done cuz everything you've done is the furthest from anything that could make me want to run then I realized that it's my fear that you might want more that I so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't say a word about the way I feel so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't you've put new lines around my eyes you've put new lines around my smile you understand everything I can't say the back-ass-wards way I communicate sometimes I get lured to be concerned about the way we can have a conversation without ever saying a word and I've felt that I must keep some distance cuz I don't want you to think there's more than friendship between us so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't say a word about the way I feel so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't say a word about the way I feel so I don't, so I don't say a word so I don't went for a drive last night pulled over and sat underneath a moonless sky

Play 03:31
tired of this, all of this tired of selling myself going around in circles it's me I miss just wanna get out on the open water and sail away towards the sunset towards my soul towards my mother ship I can't wait till we get together again and play it was just another Monday just another Monday night you showed me the light made me realize I was too caught up in this buisness it was blocking my vision so I could not see the sky thank you for coming down and being so willing sorry I was so shy but it made me so high made me so high, made me so high I had an endless, sleepless night I can't wait till we get together again and play I don't know if it was fate or destiny the way you came down and found me but I think we work so well together we've got some good chemistry you've shown me how my groove it can grow and I'm so honored that you'd join me just thought I'd let you know I can't wait till we get together again and play

Is Right 05:49
lonely and tired been like this for a long time looking for someone who I can trust and talk to been looking the wrong way all of my life I gotta know what I feel is right I've been trying to fight it for so long hide it like I don't belong well, you know I can't change who I am I've been doing without love for a big part of my life I gotta know what I feel is right now I'm so confused don't know what I should do what I really want to do is share with you how I feel I've been trying, been trying but resisting for all these years now I think it's time to overcome you know, I usually can be strong but this is so hard I want you to know my pain I want you to know why I feel so ashamed and you've got to know you've got to know you've got to know what I feel it is right is right
5.
Finally Here 05:06
the end is finally here what I've been waiting for all these years I never thought I'd be this way never thought I'd feel sad about leaving but I've been thinking about my friends and how I'm gonna miss them I'm gonna be strong I'm moving on we can't stay here forever, no gotta take what we can use it to build on let the memories remain clear remind us of those we've met here it all started a day ago at a party, and it was time to go we all gave our good-byes like we've always done then someone said to me, "i don't know if i'll see you again" it hit me then, oh yeah I'm gonna be strong I'm moving on we can't stay here forever, no gotta take what we can use it to build on let the memories remain clear remind us of those we've met here I'm standing alone in my room reminiscing about a good time how this is come so soon I've been packing up my stuff and it's hard, hard for me to do but, I've gotta get on the road and sing some tunes I'm gonna be strong I'm moving on we can't stay here forever, no gotta take what we can use it to build on let the memories remain clear remind us of those we've met here

I should've said somethin' before you left cuz now all I think about is what I could have said but there was no way I thought it could be only two weeks we'd known each other and you were leaving now you're gone and I think differently wish I would have turned my head and listened to the words my gut had said the words fell freely from my mouth whenever I was with you I could just let them out but there was one thing I kept hidden behind my fear that one thing, now I wish I would have let you hear and strangely enough I don't want you to hear this song I know it'd only make things turn out wrong this is nothing new to me just another one of those missed opportunities I've gotten too close never grown too attached and I seem to do fine just like that I should've said something before you left cuz now all I think about is what I could have said but there was no way I thought it could be only two weeks we'd known each other and you were leaving we are heading down two different paths and I know our life's wouldn't come together being apart like that

I used to think that I would never grow old and I used to think that at the end of a rainbow lay a pot of gold I used to think that martians on Mars were for real and I used to think that yellow lines in the road were for motorcycle wheels I used to think life was a breeze and everything would come to me but each day as I grow I find there's so much more I need to say I used to think that I could fly reach out like Mr. Superman and touch the sky I used to think that television was for real for a million dollars just dial 1-800-lets-make-a-deal I used to think life was a breeze and everything would come to me but each day as I grow I find there's so much more I need to say I used to think that love was forever I used to think that people got married and then they stayed together I used to think that tricks were for kids and I used to think that dreams come true and hey, I still do, yeah I used to think life was a breeze and everything would come to me but each day as I grow I find there's so much more I need to say

Holding On 02:14
I've been holding on to these tears holding them hostage for so many years that it's time to set them free I hope in your life you can be yourself walk down the road not feeling like I've felt but it's a world where we are taught who we should be I've been holding on I've been holding on to these tears holding them hostage for so many years that it's time to set them free

Fading 04:45
walked in your front door just the other night when I left, felt like I could cry I didn't feel comfortable at all felt like our friendship had escaped into those white walls we had not one thing to say made me start to wonder how things could turn out this way I don't wanna loose you I don't wanna watch us fade away I don't wanna be the bearer of this pain but I was thinkin' maybe it's just me our friendship is one that's hard to come across never thought it could ever it would ever be lost but now it's found it's way to some desolate vacation spot maybe someday it'll make it's way back and erase this thought I don't wanna loose you I don't wanna watch us fade away I don't wanna be the bearer of this pain but I was thinkin' maybe it's just me ever since the day we starred in that play we've gotten to know each other better but now I'm afraid cuz the play is over now and we've already finished our last call but I'm not gonna sit around for all these hours waiting for the curtain to fall I don't wanna loose you I don't wanna watch us fade away I don't wanna be the bearer of this pain but I was thinkin' maybe it's just me

I Will (free) 03:18
opening up reaching out asking for forgiveness learning what honesty's all about words can't express how much you mean to me even after all the lies I've been told your love I receive if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you just ask, just ask and I will struggling trying to be comfortable with myself revealing the colors for all to see fear had the best of me but your arms were open and inviting after all was said and done you assured it wouldn't change your feelings if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you just ask, just ask if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you if I can do anything for you just ask, just ask and I will I will
