LYRICS
HELPLESS
Help me IÕve fallen
Help me IÕm falling again
Reach out to me now
Reach out to me save my life
Well these situations have taken control of my mind
Throw me a line
One more time
Alone and IÕm scared
This is real
Help me
IÕm falling down
IÕve hit the ground I feel so lost inside
Help me
I canÕt believe
This bottle has got a hold of me again
Help me
Get off the ground
Get off myself
Get up IÕm feeling so
Cold now
IÕve hit the ground again
Say that you need me
Say that you need more of me
Depression strikes ten fold
Here come the voices again
Hands shaking
Sweat breaking
Losing all my self control
Well open your heart
And you will see
Alone and IÕm scared
This is real
Help me
IÕm falling down
IÕve hit the ground I feel so lost inside
Help me
I canÕt believe
This bottle has got a hold of me again
Help me
Get off the ground
Get off myself
Get up IÕm feeling so
Cold now
IÕve hit the ground again
Tell me
Everything you want from me
And IÕll try
Tell me
Who am I supposed to be
In your mind
Help me
IÕm falling down
IÕve hit the ground I feel so lost inside
Help me
I canÕt believe
This bottle has got a hold of me again
Help me
Get off the ground
Get off myself
Get up IÕm feeling so
Helpless
Helpless
EMMA DEAR
Sliding down this waterfall with you
and I'm so happy that you're right by my side
holding hands as we slide on down
and there is nothing that can stand in our way
Sunny Day
Wash away the rain
and I stop
and I look
I see you
you're starring right back at me
and I smile
and you laugh
we're happy as can be
look at you
look at you oooo
you're my child
you're my love
you're my pride
Sunny days will return some day
until they do I'll keep you dry from the rain
Come with me and we can dance on the clouds
but if the clouds get to high hold my hand
Sunny Day
Wash away the rain
and I stop
and I look
I see you
you're starring right back at me
and I smile
and you laugh
we're happy as can be
look at you
look at you oooo
you're my child
you're my love
you're my pride
Don't be scared if it gets dark outside
Cause I'll be there to turn on the light
Emma dear you're gonna be alright
you're my daughter, you're my love, you're my pride
and I stop
and I look
I see you
you're starring right back at me
and I smile
and you laugh
we're happy as can be
look at you
look at you oooo
you're my child
you're my love
you're my pride

KICK ME
Gather round my friends
I've got another story
about another girl that got away
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
took her out on the town
on Sunday night
Took her back to my place
for a while
for a while
it's alright
you caught me by suprise
you hug me, squeeze me, tease me love me
then you kick me to the side
that sunday night was full of glory
we drank some tea and talked all night
the night was long
the moon was shining
but when I woke up
she was gone

it's alright
you caught me by suprise
you hug me, squeeze me, tease me love me
then you kick me to the side
LITTLE GIRL
This little girl so
far away
I think about her every day
I think she knows who I am
I am not so sure, but that's ok
It was The 4th of July
When I first saw that pretty smile
You looked at me, those big brown eyes
I knew right there I was outta my mind
There goes my little girl
Look at how she flies
And when she smiles at me
She lights up my whole world
There is no other
I gotta have her
That's why I love her
There is no other
You think you know how it goes
You think you got it all under control
Until one day you step outside
You see the girl she's passing by
You say hello
She turns around
She looks at you, up and down
She gives you a smile
She gives you a wink
She turns back around
And she disappears
There goes my little girl
Look at how she flies
And when she smiles at me
She lights up my whole world
There is no other
I gotta have her
That's why I love her
I gotta have her
My girl is so pretty
She makes all the boys
In the band go
LA LA LA LA LA
There is no other
I gotta have her
That's why I love her
There is no other
There is no other
I gotta have her
That's why I love her
There is no other

If one plus one
equals two
Then I wanna know
Well if your love for me is so strong

NEVER SAID GOODBYE
Sitting here starring at your picture hanging on my wall
Remember all the times when you lift me up so high
You never let me fall
I wish that you could see the person
That IÕve grown up to be
ItÕs because of you
All because of you
I never said goodbye to you
I never even had a clue
That it would be the last time that I ever spoke to you
Wish I had more to say
Wish I had one more day
Just so I could see your face
Just so I could tell you
All you mean to me
But lifeÕs just not that way
Could have said goodbye to you
Now IÕm looking through the windows of my life
Tracing back the steps IÕve made
My choices were not always right
And though youÕre not here right now
I hope I made you proud
ItÕs because of you
Yeah, because of you
I never said goodbye to you
I never even had a clue
That it would be the last time that I ever spoke to you
Wish I had more to say
Wish I had one more day
Just so I could see your face
Just so I could tell you
All you mean to me
But lifeÕs just not that way
Could have said goodbye to you
If only for a moment I could talk to you
ThereÕs so much more to say
I never said goodbye to you
I never even had a clue
That it would be the last time that I ever spoke to you
Wish I had more to say
Wish I had one more day
Just so I could see your face
Just so I could tell you
All you mean to me
But lifeÕs just not that way
Could have said goodbye to you
I went to see you yesterday
Put another rose by your name
GIRL ON THE 705
HereÕs a story of a girl on the 705
Used to love to watch you walk down the line
Sitting near a window next to me
You tell me everything you want to be
Share your dreams with me
And as the train slowly pulls away
I remember you like it was yesterday
Turning around to see your beautiful eyes
Starring back at me
And when you said goodbye to me
You set me free
Now times have changed
I know that youÕre not alone
Well look at you darling
You made it so far
Remember we used to
Make fun of it all
And I know that you did for me
That I couldnÕt do for you
Sitting here
After all this time has passed
IÕm wishing you nothing but all the best
Just thinking about the way things might have been
If you were by my side
But when you said goodbye to me
You set me free
Now times have changed
I know that youÕre not alone
Well look at your darling
You made it so far
Remember we used to
Make fun of it all
And I know that you did for me
That I couldnÕt do for you
And IÕll keep riding on
Starring out the window at the sun
And IÕll keep moving on
Watching all the shadows run
Now times have changed
I know that youÕre not alone
Well look at your darling
You made it so far
Remember we used to
Make fun of it all
And I know that you did for me
I KNOW
I know
what's on your mind
Cause I've been
here before
Every day in your special way
You show me that you're fine
But I know
I know
There's something wrong
I know
something aint right
My heart
can't take another break
No my heart
for you won't break
Why are you
So far away
We both know
What I mean
Every day in your special way
You show me that you're fine
But I know
I know
There's something wrong
I know
something aint right
My heart
can't take another break
No my heart
for you won't break
I'm sitting here calling on the telephone
There's something going on my darling
I know that things have changed between you and me
But is it for the best?
But I know
I know
There's something wrong
I know
something aint right
My heart
can't take another break
No my heart
for you won't break
No my heart
for you won't break
NYC
I grew up in NYC
Where no two blocks here look a like
I spend my time in NYC
Give my regards to the Jersey side
NYC NYC
You're so beautiful,
you're Natural and free
You're so wonderful, you're Musical To Me
I fell in love in NYC
On a hot rainy summer night
I walked her home under her umbrella
I softly kissed her good night
NYC NYC
You're so beautiful, So Natural and free
You're so wonderful, So Musical To Me
From Bronx to
Brooklyn
ItÕs a subway ride
From Roosevelt Island
I can ride the sky
They say there's no
stars above NYC
But if you look close you'll see the lights
Reflecting off the Hudson River
In the distance you'll see her shine
NYC NYC
You're so beautiful, So Natural and free
You're so wonderful, So Musical To Me
I watched the planes
fly over the city
Things would never be the same
All the streets that burned with fire
Those streets now bear heroes names
THE ANSWER
Excuse me Mr.
I never meant to cause you harm
I only came to find the answer
cause I've been feeling down
for so long,
and I've been trapped inside these
fours walls!
Cause I've been looking a long time running in circles in my head, O and you,
you've been preaching, you 've been teaching everyone that you know
Excuse me Mr.
they say you know a thing or 2
about the things that I've been after
cause I've been looking round
in my life
and I've been asking round
no reply
Cause I've been looking a long time running in circles in my head, O and you,
you've been preaching, you've been teaching everyone that you know
another time
another place
where we can meet and understand
the things about the life we live about the things that we all need
Some years have past since my last note
and so I sit above this cloud
I''m looking down
I'm looking round
Across the universe!!!
Cause I've been looking a long time running in circles in my head, O and you,
you've been preaching, you've been teaching everyone that you know
All you need is love
Love is all you need
love
I WOULD (FOR YOUR LOVE)
And IÕve been feeling so alone, again
CanÕt get your face off my mind, lately
And I can only see you now, in my dreams
Yes I can only see you smile, in my dreams
I would
I would
For your love I would do most anything
IÕll take you to the moon if I could
For your love IÕd climb any mountain high
And IÕll take you with me to the top
Yeah and IÕll take you with me to the top
And IÕve been thinking long ago, about you
And all these feelings in my heart, are true
And I can only feel you know, in my song
Yes I can only reach you now, with my song
I would
I would
For your love I would do most anything
IÕll take you to the moon if I could
For your love IÕd climb any mountain high
And IÕll take you with me to the top
Yeah and IÕll take you with me to the top
For your love
I would do
Anything you want me to
Everything that I do for you
I did for your love
For your love
I would do
Anything you want me to
Everything that I do for you
I did for your love
For your love
For your love
For your love I would do most anything
IÕll take you to the moon if I could
For your love IÕd climb any mountain high
And IÕll take you with me to the top
Yeah and IÕll take you with me to the top
CRAZY OVER YOU
Don't say it's over
Cause it's just begun
You know I love you
But I lost my mind
You think I'm so full of it
I know what I've done was wrong
I am here to make it right
We're strong enough
Loved long enough
I'll work it out
I'll try real hard
Cause I'm crazy over you
The way you make me feel inside
I feel so high
I never wanna come back down
If you take me back again
I'll love you all the time
And I'm never gonna let you down again
Oh no no
Turn back the time
You know I would for you
The past is gone
There's nothing I can do
So I sit
I wait for you
I hold my promise to be true
Give me one more chance
To prove my love for you
We're strong enough
Loved long enough
I'll work it out
I'll try real hard
Cause I'm crazy over you
The way you make me feel inside
I feel so high
I never wanna come back down
If you take me back again
I'll love you all the time
And I'm never gonna let you down again
Perhaps another chance you'll see
That you and me were meant to be
Together for this life
Together for this life
Cause I'm crazy over you
The way you make me feel inside
I feel so high
I never wanna come back down
If you take me back again
I'll love you all the time
And I'm never gonna let you down again
Oh no
I love you
But I fell down, messed up, heads up
I know I will never find someone like you
Don't go don't you leave me now
My heart cries for you how
Don't go don't you leave me now
My heart cries for you
THE GAMES
I KNOW THE GAMES
YOUÕRE PLAYINÕ
ARE NOT ONLY IN MY HEAD
I KNOW THIS TIME AROUND
I WONÕT CARRY THAT WEIGHT
YOU TELL ME IÕM THE ONLY ONE
WHO MAKES YOU FEEL THIS WAY
BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED
IÕM NOT THE SAME
IÕVE LEARNED FROM MISTAKES
LET ME SHOW YOU MY HEART
CAUSE IÕBEEN HIDIN' FAR TO LONG
TRYING TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN
AND YOU WERE DOING FINE
AND I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL
BUT IÕD BE TELLING YOU LIES
NOW ITÕS TIME I WALK AWAY
AND LEAVE WITH NO REGRET
IÕVE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING THAT I CAN GIVE
AND NOW THEREÕS NOTHING LEFT
LET ME SHOW YOU MY HEART
CAUSE IÕBEEN HIDIN' FAR TO LONG
TRYING TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN
AND YOU WERE DOING FINE
AND I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL
BUT IÕD BE TELLING YOU LIES
YOUÕVE BEEN WALKIN' A TIGHTPOPE
ITÕS LOOSING SLOWLY
AS IÕM WATCHING YOU FALL
CAUSE IÕBEEN HIDIN' FAR TO LONG
TRYING TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN
AND YOU WERE DOING FINE
AND I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL
BUT IÕD BE TELLING YOU LIES
TILL TOMORROW
I don't care,
If you break my heart
I wont cry, I'll be alright
I promise that I'll be just fine
But if you go
Don't you look behind
Don't look my way
I wont be there
For you to change your mind
Please baby girl
Don't make this hard on me
It's hard enough
Just go
You and I both know
That it's going nowhere
And you just don't care
Time was on your side, yeah
We were one
But now you're gone
But that's ok
I'll make through another day
Without your touch
Without your soft parade
Please baby girl
Don't make this hard on me
It's hard enough
Just go
You and I both know
That it's going nowhere
And you just don't care
Time was on your side, yeah
We were one
But now you're gone
Sitting on a park bench looking up counting the stars again
We used to sit here count the stars together
Now that you're gone there's too many stars to count alone
To count alone
You and I both know
That it's going nowhere
And you just don't care
Time was on your side, yeah
We were one
But now you're gone
BREAKDOWN
I thought about the time that we first met
How you stood there smoking your cigarette
You looked at me from across the room
I should have known better with a girl like you
That you would do those things to me
Communication breakdown
And that IÕd have to set you free
Communication breakdown
And there youÕre standing on your own
Now IÕm here Trying to figure it out
Why donÕt you just leave me alone
Get out of my life
Up down left right
You donÕt know
Make up your mind
We used to sit here watching the telly
YouÕre by my side
WeÕre cuddling now
I think about those times we had
Oh well so long take care goodbye
And now IÕm sitting all alone
Communication breakdown
ThereÕs no one calling on the phone
Communication breakdown
And there youÕre standing on your own
Now IÕm here Trying to figure it out
Why donÕt you just leave me alone
Get out of my life
Up down left right
You donÕt know
Make up your mind
Swing me around now sugar
Dip me to the ground now baby
I wanna fly away with you tonight
And there youÕre standing on your own
Now IÕm here Trying to figure it out
Why donÕt you just leave me alone
Get out of my life
Up down left right
You donÕt know
Make up your mind
Get out of my life!
MY SWEETEST SONG FOR YOU
Tell me something I donÕt know
Ready set go
IÕve got questions on my mind
ItÕs gonna take time
Gun in my left hand bullets in right
Am I going to make that trip tonight?
If I donÕt get your face out of my mind
ItÕs gonna be a long lonely night
Cause I want to know
Are you ready to
Let me go
So I wrote it all down in words (So you can hear me honey)
Death is a great price to pay (Remember the good times darling)
This is my sweetest song for you
Situations come undone
Where did I go wrong
Where did I fuck up
IÕve given you thrills
IÕve given you chills
IÕve given you lalala love
Cause I want to know
Are you ready to
Let me go
So I wrote it all down in words (So you can hear me honey)
Death is a great price to pay (Remember the good times darling)
This is my sweetest song for you
WORLD OF DREAMS
Look,
Look what youÕve done
YouÕve broken the only thing
IÕll ever know
Now
Tell me IÕm wrong
Tell me IÕm right
Because IÕm losing you
Was I living in a world or dreams
Was I living in a world of dreams
Everything is not what is seems
Am I living in this world of dreams
Why
Why should I hurt
Why should I cry myself to sleep at night
Now
Now that youÕve gone
Now that youÕve taken everything from me
Was I living in a world or dreams
Was I living in a world of dreams
Everything is not what is seems
Am I living in this world of dreams
Girl
Well I was always there for you
Cause I thought youÕd be there for me
But I said girl
You left me sitting all alone
Making shadows on the wall
Of images of you and me
I was living in a world of dreams last night
Saw your face in the moonlight
I couldnÕt believe this was happening to me again
I was living in a world of dreams last night
Saw your face in the moonlight
I couldnÕt believe this was happening to me again
Yes IÕm living in this world of dreams
CanÕt get out of this world of dreams
Everything is not what it seems
Yes, IÕm living in this world of dreams
TELL THEM
Why is the world spinning upside down
Why is it me who's always wrong
Maybe I should sing a lullaby
And close my eyes and say goodnight
Maybe I can write a letter to the government
And tell them what's on my mind
Or maybe I can climb the monument
And look on down
I'd look
I'd look on down at you
Meanwhile I'll just be another soul
I'll be another number on your wall
Killing me is your evolution
It's just another formula
For your solution
Maybe you can write a letter to the government
And tell them what's on your mind
Or maybe you can climb the monument
And look on down
you'd look
You'd look on down at you
Maybe in a year or two
You'll figure out exactly what you need to do
But as for me I'll be long gone
I'm sure you'll have another with a smile!
Maybe we can write a letter to the government
And tell them what's on our mind
Or maybe we can climb the monument
The monument so high so high so high...
MARY
Mary I can always tell
When your face is full of those little tales
and you telling all of your friends around
you say that IÕm the lucky one
and I say thatÕs itÕs all true
and pretend itÕs alright
Mary youÕre the one for me
Can you tell me everything
Mary I can marry you
Make your world so wonderful
But youÕre telling all the people
And youÕre telling all the lies
And all the people all around you
Who keep you in the dark
And I can ask you many questions
And you can tell me many lies
You can answer all of them
But you know none satisfy me
Mary youÕre the one
That I have always thought about
In all those windows and the doorways
On the corners of the bars
And all those times I passed you by
And you never looked my way
And now IÕm just a little older
And I have so much more to say
But you
Keep me down and out
In this marry-go-round
The empty spaces in your heart
I know you think it all sounds wild
And all the people in your field
And all the girls are running round
And your father in the sky
Oh Mary,
I tried so many times
To be right there by your side
But all you did was push me back
Til the angels passed me by
And no thereÕs nothing left inside me
And thereÕs nothing left to say
But you will always be there man,
You know that IÕm ok
And you tell me that youÕll live your life
With all your new found friends
They comfort you all the time
They say – angel youÕre the one for me
You see
Well Mary I can ask you now
The time has just passed you by
Oh ya
And all that you do is cry now, cry now
You never really knew
All the situation that I felt
And all the little angry pills
That I had to take and take
And I feel fine
No, I feel fine
PleaseÉ.. goodbye
SOMETIMES I WONDER
Sometimes I wonder why life happens
so fast
Sometimes I wonder how much longer I'll last
Sometimes I wonder will you be there when I die
Sometimes I wonder will you lay rest by my side
Running down a hill and my eyes are closed
Colors are flowing and my mind is still
Roses and flowers and all of your dreams
Reminds me of our first believable kiss
Too too too too
Sometimes I wonder if you and I will survive
Sometimes I wonder if you and I will get by
Sometimes I wonder if you will be there when I die
Sometimes I wonder if you will lay rest by my side
Running down a hill and my eyes are closed
Colors are flowing and my mind is still
Roses and flowers and all of your dreams
Reminds me of our first believable kiss
