hearts of stone

up up and away to the other side so you think it’ll be easier but to your surprise one night of sin and you’ll come running back again but it’ll be easier this time cause I’ll be on your side I’ll take what you will give and hold it in my hands admit that I was cold in the night admit that I was wrong in the light and I know now that hearts of stone are never broken even when you’re alone I know that you hurt admitting all the pain no matter where you run you’ll always have the same heart of stone you run away when you hear my name I never tried to prove anything more than I’m alive we broke every promise made the ropes that tied us down they were all cut away we both were searching in the night we just were chasing two very different lights and I know now that hearts of stone are never broken even when you’re alone I know that you hurt admitting all the pain no matter where you run you’ll always have the same heart hearts of stone are never broken even when life’s unknown so baby if you run don’t ever turn around don’t ever be afraid or lay down your heart of stone I believe after all this time that you still feel the pain in this heart of mine up up and away to the other side you know I thought it would be easier but to my surprise hearts of stone are never broken even when you’re alone I know that you hurt admitting all the pain no matter where you run you’ll always have the same heart hearts of stone are never broken even when life’s unknown so baby if you run don’t ever turn around don’t ever be afraid or lay down your heart of stone

true to love

true to love I’ve been looking for someone true to love who won’t take my heart and run from above looking for true love well I’ve been in love before in and out so many doors but I’ll forget the past if  I just get the chance to set my sights on someone new who’s true to love I’ve been looking for someone true to love who won’t take my heart and run from above looking for true love I’ve seen pictures of my friends and all their fun that never ends my heart starts to pound sends signals all around looking for somebody who is looking too true to love I’ve been looking for someone true to love who won’t take my heart and run from above looking for true love my life needs something new someone who will keep me satisfied but like a child inside a candy store maybe just one more that I ain’t tried true to love who won’t take my heart and run and hold me in her arms when the night gets lonely whisper in my ear that she’s my one and only girl who’s true to love looking for true love

man in the moon

been thinking lately about you baby it seems my memory won’t let go of that dark night you were my bright light I’ve still got scars where you burned my soul we both knew that there would come a day we’d be letting go heading our separate ways but there’s that promise I made when you’re looking out at the starlit sky from the window of  your hotel room and you’re wondering where in the hell am I look up I’m the man in the moon and in the evening when you’re feeling as you think that your heart might break I’ll be beside you or right behind you following every move you make don’t forget that I told you where I’d be shining down through the clouds through the miles and the memories when you’re looking out at the starlit sky from the window of your hotel room and you’re wondering where in the hell am I look up I’m the man in the moon when you close your eyes tell me do you believe in every shooting star baby there’s a dream that’s waiting there for you and me when you’re looking out at the starlit sky from the window of your hotel room and you’re wondering where the hell am I look up I’m the man in the moon the man in the moon
 

killjoy 

what’s with you you don’t come ‘round anymore last night I heard our song on the radio it doesn’t matter what you think of me it’s probably best if I don’t ever know you kill my joy do I bring you down do you want me ‘round anymore still here we are is it too late to fix it should we even try it’s not worth the time we’ve already spent so just stop calling yeah just let me be I don’t think I want to hear your voice again it kills my joy do I bring you down do you want me ‘round anymore still here we are I wished it all away when you turned out the light is there an end to this road is there and end to this life there’s always something missing we’ve been pushed way too far because after all of this time still here we are in the night I look over everything just fades to black damn your eyes for they tell me everything I’m afraid to ask

two hearts run

two hearts run to the sea from day one were meant to be something that is more precious than gold something that is alive we wonder while our hearts run in the night searching for guiding light testing faith is part of life that we sometimes put on hold our hearts grow old not always wise sometimes even cold two hearts run to the sky once were tied but by and by we teach and learn each others faults and we start to recognize the things that don’t belong to us are seen in others eyes two hearts run across the land holding on to other hands time has come and it’s passed away and our feelings sometimes fade all in all the bond we share time will take away two hearts run two hearts die one grows up amen one will try and try again two hearts run to the sea form day one they were meant always meant to be one

come alive

do we just believe in only what we see if that were true we wouldn’t even need a chance to dream but even as we sleep a child is weeping and in his eyes we all can see the secrets that we’re keeping come alive do we speak the truth in everything we say we color lies and tell ourselves that everything’s ok but as we seem content a child is dreaming that someday he will own his life and understand its meaning come alive he doesn’t want you to be sad or sorry for your life he only wants you to realize realize you are alive and there’s just so little time maybe we believe in hat we haven’t seen and everything we do until we die is in between but even as we pray a child is dying showing us the value of a life to short for crying come alive

goodbye america

a man sleeping down by the river shore worked for food then he begged for more there used to be enough for everyone goodbye america sins living in shadows on every street there’s people killing people on our own tv’s a quaint little number you’re sure to love goodbye america if I had my old mans job once was respected but now is not cause money talks and the bullshit walks goodbye america maybe I’m older and I can’t recall what it was after all that made my heroes look so tall goodbye america I used to know my neighborhood it seemed we all kind of understood the differences between bad and good goodbye america do you ever feel like it’s all been lost everything we were so proud of whatever happened to that land I love goodbye america

bells and whistles

johnny jr. used to talk to himself people thought that he was crazy he used to sit and do nothing all day no one though he just might be lazy janey used to walk through dinkytown looking for a ride back home they’d flash the cash and she’d tongue her lips but she always knew she’d spend her nights alone no matter how high we get we’re gonna fall we’re gonna fall we take our chances with lies in the wind somehow to prove we can stand tall but it’s just bells and whistles see the people on the street every night they all wonder who’s the king sometime’s it’s just like that mirror on the wall we’re all searching for some finer things like when they say everyone’s gonna die it’s alright well it aint all right sometimes we think the pain is much too strong but in the end you cannot hide from those bells and whistles we see all your shiny faces you all think that you’re on top of the world but here I stand before you here I stand before you with my bells and whistles

kiddo

Lost in your movement satisfied by sight gifted by your presence holy by your light nothing is forgotten no words needed to say no guard around my heart it’s for you to take away you are here to give your touch is all I need to live throw away hide away chase away your tears walk away break away run away from fears no need to be forgiven so that was the beginning a stare into the eye now we have come full circle to true words of goodbye and I wonder how I’ll breath I wonder how I’ll stand your thoughts they just consume the child inside the man you are here to give your touch is all I need to live
