stand
Got a heavy weight on my shoulders
It's all fun and games 'til you're older
I've grown bored and tired and colder
I'm not the same, not the same
Yesterday is over
Tomorrow waits
Look fate in the face and say
It's what I make, what I make
(Chorus)
My hands are capable and
I am unshakable and
My feet are stable; so I stand
I am; what I am, what I am
I know what I mean and
I mean what I say
Don't take it the wrong way
If you...
It's all fun and games 'til you're older
I've grown bored and tired and colder
I'm not the same, not the same
Yesterday is over
Tomorrow waits
Look fate in the face and say
It's what I make, what I make
(Chorus)
My hands are capable and
I am unshakable and
My feet are stable; so I stand
I am; what I am, what I am
I know what I mean and
I mean what I say
Don't take it the wrong way
If you...

Carry me
Can't you see I'm crying
I might not show it
But I'm crying
Can't you see I'm trying
It's hard to fight it
But I'm trying
Can't you see you're hurting me
You might not know it
But you're hurting me
Can't you see I'm dying
I might be hiding
But I'm dying
(Chorus)
It's the last step and I can't breath
I trust my knees when my feet are too weak
But I'm still too far and I can't reach
Can't you see, I just need
someone to carry me
Whether my hearts open or closed
I'm alone
You can say my...
I might not show it
But I'm crying
Can't you see I'm trying
It's hard to fight it
But I'm trying
Can't you see you're hurting me
You might not know it
But you're hurting me
Can't you see I'm dying
I might be hiding
But I'm dying
(Chorus)
It's the last step and I can't breath
I trust my knees when my feet are too weak
But I'm still too far and I can't reach
Can't you see, I just need

Whether my hearts open or closed
I'm alone
You can say my...

What's your name
I like it fast
I always have, but
If there's a hill to climb
I don't mind putting in the time
But I won't waste mine
I've been known
To misbehave
And I won't
Give the time of day
If you don't say what you came to say
(Chorus)
Hey, if you want me just come this way
Hey, if you need me all you gotta do is say
Hey, what's your name
What's your name?
I'm easy to please
But you gotta speak
You won't find me
Begging for your time and
I'm not trying to read your mind
You got games?
You might not...
I always have, but
If there's a hill to climb
I don't mind putting in the time
But I won't waste mine
I've been known
To misbehave
And I won't
Give the time of day
If you don't say what you came to say
(Chorus)
Hey, if you want me just come this way
Hey, if you need me all you gotta do is say
Hey, what's your name
What's your name?
I'm easy to please
But you gotta speak
You won't find me
Begging for your time and
I'm not trying to read your mind
You got games?

I'll see you again someday
Oh to see your face again
With that smile Again
Oh to see your hands
Reaching out again
What I wouldn't give
To have that chance again
What I wouldn't say
To see you walking in
instead of going away
(Chorus)
I don't mind how much time it takes; I can wait
It's fine if your going away; I can stay
I won't cry cause your waving goodbye
I just say; I'll see you again someday
Oh, what I wouldn't do
Just to get some time again with you
No, not a price I wouldn't pay
Cause I never felt better any other way
...
With that smile Again
Oh to see your hands
Reaching out again

Bound to lose
Take a look, take a chance on the hand at play
We ride on deciding; pass or stay
We begin and end by the moves we make
(Chorus)
We can talk about drawing lines all day
But the bottom line is
The rules don't change
The game's always the same
And we're bound to lose
We're bound to lose
Place your best moves and your strategy
Take us to places that we've never seen
In this game of risk we're too blind to see
That we're bound to lose
Don't rush my moves in this Russian roulette
Be careful just where you place...
We ride on deciding; pass or stay
We begin and end by the moves we make
(Chorus)
We can talk about drawing lines all day
But the bottom line is
The rules don't change
The game's always the same
And we're bound to lose
We're bound to lose
Place your best moves and your strategy
Take us to places that we've never seen
In this game of risk we're too blind to see
That we're bound to lose
Don't rush my moves in this Russian roulette
Be careful just where you place...

Waiting on me
You wouldn't say a word
If I hadn't said it first
You wouldn't make a move
If I hadn't come to you
But I couldn't let those sleepy eyes
Just pass me by
And I couldn't leave this room
Without walking out next to you
It might just be my curiosity
I've always been a cat like that
But I know what I see
I like it and I won't look back
This might be hard to believe
But I think you've been waiting on me
Yeah, I think you've been waiting on me
You wouldn't take a chance
If it wasn't in your hands
But I'm not...
If I hadn't said it first
You wouldn't make a move
If I hadn't come to you
But I couldn't let those sleepy eyes

And I couldn't leave this room

Mirrored glass
Theres so much time between us
memories marked like mirrored glass
the useless little stories
twist and bend the shattered past
promises we couldn't keep
built momentary fire
silver tongues know talk is cheap
when fabrication fuels desire
every bite was empty
I made the taste inside my head
Tried to fill what I was missing
painted notions of you instead
Now I'm calling this for what it is
I place no blame and claim no debt
I've stopped to count my losses
there's no case for the time I've bled
words could never give...

Roads
I might bend, but I won't break
The bones under my skin
Are hard and cold
from where I've been
I'll be better someday
But I'm strong enough to take today
I bet you wouldn't know
-- I'm a traveler
But you better believe
My feet will carry me
Where ever I tell them to go
Everyone has walked a road
I don't claim mine to be any more high or low
But what I know
I won't be taking any road
That someone else told me to follow
See, I've had enough of that
I might bend, but I won't break
The bones under my...
The bones under my skin
Are hard and cold
from where I've been
I'll be better someday
But I'm strong enough to take today
I bet you wouldn't know

But you better believe
My feet will carry me
Where ever I tell them to go
Everyone has walked a road
I don't claim mine to be any more high or low

Pink memories
Memories are like painted toes
Bright and new
To begin
But as the time goes
Both memories and toes
Lose their glow
They chip and they fade
Both painted pink toes
And memories of you
Fade away
I'm painting my toes today
There isn't much left of the old
Most all have weathered away
Both memories and toes
Started to fade
Long before it turned cold
I remember the day
It was warm
I painted them fast
We had plans --
On the day before
We met last
I...
Bright and new
To begin
But as the time goes
Both memories and toes
Lose their glow
They chip and they fade
Both painted pink toes
And memories of you
Fade away
I'm painting my toes today
There isn't much left of the old
Most all have weathered away
Both memories and toes
Started to fade
Long before it turned cold

The first of anything
I like the first of everything
First time, first trip, first place
I hold each one with splendor;
The first of anything
First look or first embrace
They always bring a feeling
A new and fresh replace
For empty, darker space
A special time for me;
The first of anything
First time, first trip, first place
I hold each one with splendor;
The first of anything
First look or first embrace
They always bring a feeling
A new and fresh replace
For empty, darker space
A special time for me;
The first of anything

Story of my life
I'm seeing lines
In the mirror
They tell of times
I can't remember
Life time of lines
Tell each story on my face
The tales may be forgotten
But these lines; I can't erase.
It's a strange thing
When silence brings
You to wondering
Have the days gone by
Just slipped right by
Without noticing
Time was drawing lines
With all my history
Keeping place across my face
I'm too young to be old
I'm too bold to be wise
But it's written 'round my eyes
I'm starting to realize
The age that's...
In the mirror
They tell of times
I can't remember
Life time of lines
Tell each story on my face
The tales may be forgotten
But these lines; I can't erase.
It's a strange thing
When silence brings
You to wondering
Have the days gone by
Just slipped right by
Without noticing
Time was drawing lines
With all my history
Keeping place across my face
I'm too young to be old
I'm too bold to be wise
But it's written 'round my eyes
I'm starting to realize

Take me away
Lets do it again
That natural sin
That place where you take me away
Lets spend the night
Perfecting the plight
Of taking each other away
I love the place
The emotional race
On the tips of our lips;
We can't say
Take me again
That place where we've been
That place where you take me away
That natural sin
That place where you take me away
Lets spend the night
Perfecting the plight
Of taking each other away
I love the place
The emotional race
On the tips of our lips;
We can't say
Take me again
That place where we've been
That place where you take me away
