Discography
If I am -- my ultimate favorite song.
So you're walking on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl
I love you (cover)
You came along from far away and found me here
I was playin' around, feeling down, hittin' the beer
You picked me up from off the floor and gave me a smile
You said you're much too young, your life ain't begun, let's walk for awhile
the price (cover)
How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh I've tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew
another day
when you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there
I'm not the one who sits across from you, who, returns your stare
and I watch as you grow quiet like you always did
and I wait to get what I deserve
it's the part that doesn't die that makes it hurt...
7 Windsor Ct.
And I know this broken road won't last for long
I know there's no windows for me anymore
There's a big black hole in the heart with a face in the middle
She was my whole world I watched her crumble to dust in my eyes
I remember she'd to stand on the steps just to reach for a kiss
How we tried to hold on
A Bit of Truth
I'm glad I can still help you with your songs
Your words, you're such a poet, you think of it all
At least you could have given me some one of the song
And not a joke from your circus you circus show clown
But you never think twice
behind an old blue vase
Lying here on the floor
Wondering where my absent friends are
Been sleeping on a bed of thorns
It's my faith in you that keeps me warm
bitter
I don't ask for your forgiveness
I don't care much for your actress
That's just you though shallow and selfish
castles burning
They'll tell you it's too late to change
They'll promise you things look better
Listen to the voices that matter
dirty poet
And it's more then I can bare
To watch the tears fall through your hair
As you shake your head
From side to side
You lie and say your alright
But I can tell the fountains
From the well
Cuz your my heaven
I'm your hell
And you make a wish on falling stars
Wish I could fall into your arms again
down with the ship
Well it's been past four years since we went down in flames
In the mouth of the lion's den
While we held our heads
We held our breath
And one by one we lost our only friends
We traveled in fast company and kept up with the pace
But that's no guarantee that we could ever win this race
emily
Now Emily stands at the door
a picture lies in pieces on the floor
the one where we walked on the beach
the wind blew waves
that crashed upon the shore
oh we are
forever more
everything
I know that there's nothing in this world that you've known,
that I've shown, that could hurt you this way
and I wish that I had no part in this play,
and that we hadn't wound up this way
favorite song
The better place you wished for
Is right outside your front door
Still it never seemed so far away
Summer gave no reward
Until this day was dreamed for
Wait to feel the sunlight on your face
Good Friend -- This is a good song for friendship. one of my personal faves.
I used to wish that I was someone else
then I'd dream away the day
those dreams have made me into someone new
and its true what they say
there is no better time than today
if this is
Good Bye to you and Me
what a good friend you've been to me
and I owe it all to you
every good thing that I do is you
Greener Grass
Well, a man has two faces
But still he's half blind
Well, he searches with one eye
For what he won't find
Well, he looks for her far
When she is near
When he calls out her name
She pretends she don't hear
I feel fine
Long ago I dreamt of you
the memories are nothing new to me
and now you're coming back to me
you're everything I wanted you to be
but I see you talking here
and I can't believe it
I try to make it clear
that I think you mean it
I'm just as through with you as you are through with me
There’s a box of memories, your own admission,
To pull the strings on our emotions if we let them go,
There’s a pot of coffee brewing in the kitchen,
Two cups of conversation, resolution for the road,
Don’t you think we owe it to each other?
Leelee
These feelings I have don't grow on trees
Anymore
And it's not as if you don't know
How your hair breaths when the wind blows
I am so moved
long hard road
I didn't call to make your mind up
I didn't call to say I'm sorry
I just came to say I missed you
lost you
Thrown upon roses
The darkness we feels spawns wounded hearts
Retreat from denial of my own
And the thoughts have been caged deep within my self
What if I lost
What if I lost you
making amends
I still got this old coat but the ind don't sympathize
It slips right through, makes itself comfortable on my bones
but Sarah, she's a blanket, that covers up my heart. she don't let the cold outside get in
She's got stars up on the ceiling that give her piece of mind tonight
Clear away the distance
marvelous
Does my name still come up?
Was I marvelous?
You should have asked yourself before you turned me down
mexico
I've been battered, you've been shuttered, we're both in tutters
I know it doesn't matter
Well, my days and nights are cluttered
Well I've discovered I'm unkind
I think I better find My love
miss alva maria
I know i'm young, but its the oldest i've ever been
I'm 23 now, halfway to 24
I'll never see these years again
So don't make me ask again, and hold out this old tin cup
Just reach out for my reaching hands
And pull me up...
muddy water
rolled over on nickels
Rolled and got out
I just kept on walking
Not knowing who I was
Where was I scarred and bleeding
Through blurred vision I saw freshened lines
Across the horizon
I was out of my skull, I was torn, I was tired
See no one
my brother
My guardian angel over my shoulder
My days in awe as I grow older
My brother and I are side by side
He took away my fear of dying
What you cannot see you cannot fight
But it's ok I'll be alright
nine days of rain
If only I could get there today
I wish it was simple like a train
Ride behind windows invisible while towns pass like sand through fingers
I wish it was simple like color flashes in the soul
Like two phones connected to imaginary friends that you might not know how it gets
That you might not know how it gets
ocean - i really love this one as well.
pieces fall along the way
scattered thoughts of yesterday
if I could find a way
to put this back together again
a dream you keep inside your mind
and if you wake up near me
you will find
oklahama city
But they don't like to see the children play
they don't like the government so what have they done
all the toys are covered in blood
a little fire truck is broken
on her way to boston
Parked outside in a car down by the church this mornin'
We never knew we'd get this far
The songs I played are chosin'
Never thought I'd see you leave
outside yourself
You can't just come around here making wars without faces
No identities left for mistaken
You look just fit to be tied in your own vacation trying to make your presence stable
Oh I've seen most of my friends makes themselves right and able
In their own little world of a fairy tale
regrets
Who's got time for faded words
There's nothin' new we haven't heard
I wish to hell that I could tell the truth
From all the lies we keep inside
Behind closed doors
Inside our minds
road you go down
Well in my time allowed I'm wondering where I'm going so what you doing now?
For what I've done's outlasting my place to be proud
Trust worthy of my music so I sing it to the crowd
And they'll point my direction of where, of where I want to be
The road to go down, down, down, down, down, down, down
see you in a crowd
sometimes I think that maybe you still care
then I realise that you'd still be there
to let me touch your shoulder
to watch as we grow older
then I realize that life ain't fair
shipwreck water
harsh memories no matter how deeply buried
survive, they emerge
all my betrayed water runs
between soles of her feet
their average is torn
shoes on the bed
Some dreams mean somethin' that you'll never know
Some dreams mean nothin', just a river that flows
Moonlight has magic through the window
When it shines on the one you love
Don't step on cracks in the street
Make your wishes count on the clock
You don't leave your shoes on the bed
If you want to be with the one you love
so far away
Do you wish upon a star?
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away?
Nothing seems to change
Let alone you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
still here
And I will be there to soften your fall
And I will be there for the good of it all
I will not let you feel you've wasted all your time
And every day we have is one more day that you'll be mine
If my life is a flight and a crash in the sea
I'm still here but I can not speak the words
the end of agent bobby roe
But with the fall of old town bosses
Old traditions starts to fade
What should have been the end of the story
Would mark the end of Bobby's day
the joneses
I love you the most when you are fast asleep
and whatever I do for you I'm still the creep
I realize that I'm not good enough
it's tough for sensitive men in a world that don't give a fuck
things we said
By the town where you said you'd still love me
By an ocean just seven miles wide
We could walk across that bridge
Watch the water flow under
Leave all our troubles behind
Well maybe you don't quite remember
this music
Well as I drive from rehearsal I drive down past familiar places
These songs and old aquantance you can scrape their faces from the pages
Oh I when I first, when I first met you, you came as a crisp clean face on a sleeve
I've grown to some religion and I fall down to my knees
And I don't know if I could make it by without you
two ghosts in the graveyard
There's no tomorrow
The past forgotten
Well who writes the poem then hides it
Who lights the fuse then smothers it
Again, again
waiting on the corner --> take this song too. please. i will beg.
Well we missed again, that's alright
we'll try once more another night
it's days like these, that make it hard
you try my patience, you try my heart
where you going now
Where you going now that you ain't been before?
The same worn out roads behind the same old doors
I could wait here for you for a thousand years or more
But I probably won't look all that good then so why won't you just come around now
wonder
Hidden thoughts that lie within the apathy of my own goal and dreams
I cry myself to sleep with all the insecurities of love and life itself
This big old rock
Has fallen smack in the middle of this road that I have sought for so long
Absolutely (Story of a Girl) --> another must-have. trust me on this. download it.
How many days in a year?
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real

Sorry the zip is in 6 parts. i wanted it to be just in 3 or something but the internet here sucks and it takes soooo long to upload one single zip file for me that i just had to cut it in smaller pieces since i can't leave my computer on 24/7.
Btw, does anyone happen to have 257 weeks, Revolver and a Girl in California? I have much more missing but those are the ones on the top of my head. If you do have them, could you please upload them for me? Pretty please? They're a bit of an old band and things before 2004 are a bit hard to find. Any server for me is fine. :3
if you enjoyed this band, feel free to check out more songs along their alley with my Alternate Acoustics Playlist.
