see the sun
Oh you can have it all and wrap it in the world
You can have everything
You can have love and lots of other things
To make you think
But when it all comes down to you girl
Yeah no matter what you do
Take a look at yourself and realize
I've been good to you
I've been good to you
Oh no! I didn't mean to say what I did say
All about lovers and how they should lay
That was never for me to say and say
Don't you see now how I pay
I see the sun rising
And all you see is its fall, fall, fall
So come on up
Wasn't it you who said life was like a plastic cup
To be used and then disposed of
Yeah but thats no way to live a life like yours
Don't you see now how i pay
I see the sun rising
And all you see is its fall, fall, fall
For all the times i never never turned away
And now she is there on someone else's arms [x4]

always where i need to be
Say whatever you want
Oh, I could never judge you
Be whoever comes into your head
Oh, you know I'll take you there
You know I'll take you there
'Cause I'm always where I need to be
And I always though I would end up
with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do...
Say whatever you want
Oh, I could never judge you
Say whatever comes into your head
Oh, oh you know I just don't care
You know I just don't care
'Cause I'm always where I need to be
Yeah, and I always thought I would end up
with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do...
I want mine...
I want mine on the sea
Oh let me be, let me be
I want mine on the sea
Let me be, let me be
'Cause I'm always where I,
where I need to be
I-I-I always, always thought...
I would end up with you eventually!
Always where I need to be

mr. maker
Mr. Maker he's got it made
A beautiful wife and a baby on the way
And his bills are already paid
No need to skimp, no need to save
But all around him, the world grows hard
He thinks to himself, he must have played a lucky card
If he was alone he'd give it all away
To people and things, that he wanted to save
But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's alright, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...
Doesn't stop to think it's because of he
Always doing right, he stays healthy
The girls in the alley won't get a hold of him
He's got no time for that kind of sin
And he, he's not a member of the Catholic Church
The pastor of his town got sent down for dirt
He sees the boys from Sunday school
It's hard to believe what he read in the morning news
But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's all right, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...
Heart beat, stay heavy
Love us all please, stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet for me
But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's alright, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeeeeah...

gap
So per span it in the words,
"You're mine,"
It's easier to work,
But I don't mind,
You're better in defeat so,
Just don't try
To take away all the things
I'll do in my life.
I have to break down all
the corners of the world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I need you.
I do.
But don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Well leave your lover now,
it's your turn.
And see your mother now,
I hope she's okay.
You're better in defeat so,
let's not try
To take away all the things I'll do in our lives.
I have to break down all the corners of the world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I need you.
I do.
But don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
All of my life,
trying to understand.
All of my life,
trying to hold a hand.
I have to break down all,
the corners of this world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I love you.
That's true.

love it all
See I've got this woman here
She loves me all the time
No need for excuses
No pressures in my mind
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
My heart was living down
And I've been pushed over the line
But on your hand, it'd be broken
And I'll be all over this time
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
Love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all

stormy weather
You ?? a stormy weather
from my window
You ain't, yeah, you ain't so clever
You got it all made up
But it feels like love, love, love
Oh yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
I sit around to pass the time
I try to get it off my mind
And I live in a world oh so small
That I can't get around at all
And it feels like love, love, love
Oh yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
Oh, I didn't mean it
What did I do
Or take of you?
Oh, I didn't mean it
Oh, oh, I didn't mean it!
I'm not saying it's all made up
It's people there, to comb your hair
And I'll think out another song
Won't kill that, so beautiful
So it feels like love, love, love
Oh yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
Oh, I didn't mean it
What did I do
Or take of you?
What did I do?
Oh, I didn't mean it
Oh, oh, I didn't mean it!
And it feels like love, love, love,
Yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch...

sway
Say whatever you have to say, I'll stand by you.
Do whatever you have to do, to get it out and not become a reaction memory
To hurt the ones you love you know you never meant to but you do
oh yeah you do
Be whoever you have to be, I won't judge you
Sing whatever you have to sing to get it out and not become a recluse about how to come out
I know you never meant to but you do
oh but you do
Still I need your sway, because you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul because your always soulful
And I and I need your heart, because your always in the right places
And take whatever you have to take, you know I love ya
come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out
Tttttake it out on me, take it out on me
I'll give it you all, I give it you all,i give it
I give you all I give it you all, yes I will give it you all
Cause I need your sway, because you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul because your always soulful
And I and I need your heart, because your always in the right places
Oh yes I will, I will give it you all
Still I need your sway, because you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul because your always soulful
And I and I need that heart, because your always in the right places.

shine on
Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look beautiful all the time.
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
Your magazines, at people at the seams
But you still read
I must admit, I don't believe in it
But I see how you get sucked in
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
(Sha la la la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
Because your not done
Why do you buy the hand that feeds you

Why do you buy the hand that feeds...you!
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
(Sha la la la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care
You look beautiful all the time.

down to the market
I'm gonna take you down to the market, lover
Cuz that's where the trouble starts
You gotta get it into your heart
There are people out there to make you feel bad
But don't you listen, baby don't you listen Because I know you feel that way
But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication
I'm gonna take her down to the market today
Cuz that’s where the trouble starts
You don't want nobody else
There are people out there to make you feel good
But don't you listen, baby, don't you listen Because you know they want it all
But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication.
Oh I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication.
Communication, communication

one last time
Can I hold you one last time
To fight the feeling that is growing in my mind
I know I did us both all so wrong
I know I'm not always all that strong
A-b-c-d-e-f and -g
Oh that reminds me of when we were free
Before life began to tear us apart
Remember those classes when we thought we were so smart
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
We were lovers in every way
Left school together, went back to my place
Now I can hardly remember her face
Before I met her I was ..sad
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
And can I hold you one last time
To fight this feeling that is growing in my mind.

tick of time
Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as im here.....
Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that
But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am
What did i do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is
And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.
What did i do to deserve her love,
I have to ask myself.
When i am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.
