Realized today I’ve been seeing in gray for a while
And I noticed it’s harder to breathe when you’re faking a smile
But while I’m not breathing, and seeing in gray,
All of your problems have faded away -
And if you’re doing okay, I guess I’ll be fine.
Painting the town with a ray of forget me not blue,
Best [...]

Your reasons are building blocks,
In a child’s playroom,
Mixed with whiskey on the rocks.
Please open your eyes and look,
We’re on different pages
In a burning book.
And it’s crazy, mystifying,
Even though we both know that
There’s not point in trying.
We’re stuck on a freeway that never ends,
The rainbow only fades and bends -
But we’re falling, falling together.
Let’s pretend [...]

Boy I swear we were lovers in another life,
Cause when your lips touched mine, I finally felt alive.
And I know we just met the other day, but
I’m already floating away –
Please tell me that you feel the same way.
Cause it’s nice to think we’ve got a thousand memories
Locked up in our hearts where [...]

Her eyes are blue, her hair is long,
And she’s the reason he writes love songs.
Her name is Amy, he thinks she’s lovely,
Oh Amy high above me -
And I don’t know just
Where to go from here.
He calls her every day,
Says Baby how’re things going?
He writes her love songs,
Just to make her dreams come true,
And I [...]

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Bed is empty, not a peep,
No dog, no man, no company tonight -
Coz you left me broken, baby,
Why’d you leave me all alone?
Frozen, baby, this house is not home.
Coz all I’ve got is a broken box,
To lay my dreams in.
All I’ve got is a brand new lock,
On a [...]

Watching you stare out the window
At the cars going by,
Counting the days til you’re gone
And I’m wondering why?
I know you’ve dreamed of
Finding the perfect
Girl to adore you,
Who’ll still love you back –
And I’m stitting here waiting
For you to see, that it’s me,
That it’s me.
I need you, I’ll be there for you,
It’s my turn [...]

Once there was a little girl,
Watching the prosperity
Of people selling bottled things,
On her big flat silver screen,
Wondering what they would say,
To make her sadness go away -
And she said,
Mommy when I grow up,
I wanna catch a butterfly.
Keep it in a crystal jar,
Instead of dancing in the sky.
Maybe then the world will see
That beauty comes [...]

He says he’s there for me,
Encourages my dreams,
He’d be there if I was
Falling apart at the seams.
I’m holding my breath,
And I don’t know why –
I can’t let it out, and
I can’t even let myself cry.
He’s there for me when I need a friend,
But I can tell you how this story ends-
I’m lady-in-waiting to [...]

Everybody’s doing it,
So why shouldn’t you?
Everybody’s doing it,
Why can’t you?
Running the race and getting tired,
Going nowhere and not inspired,
Push your way ahead of a child,
Take the short cut into the wild,
Cause everybody’s doing it,
So why shouldn’t you?
Everybody’s doing it,
Why can’t you?
Cut to the front of the line,
Justify it by not having the [...]

Oh, I miss Romeo
From way back when we first fell in love,
Underneath a calico sky,
Stars lighting the night.
Oh, I miss Romeo,
Why did you have to go?
It just goes to show
Love don’t always grow.
I miss Romeo.
Looking down the road, I know,
I’ll never have to go it alone
I have you, forever and for now,
Don’t you want [...]
