BEDFORD STOP
I'll meet you in the afternoon
Don't worry, I can come to you
I'll meet you at the Bedford stop
Won't matter what you say
I only need to see your face
and I'll know what you're going through
So how you doing now, sister?
Call it what you want to call it
But no need to lie to me
Take only what you need
I'll never let you down
Always gonna be around
Even when you want me gone
So how about it now, sister?
One look is all I need
Sister, don't cry
It's only when you fall apart
Then you really recognize
Where you started
And it's the same for me
Seeing you will comfort me
Just thought I'd let you know...

BEFORE YOU CAN LEAVE ME
I don't want to be, I don't want to be around when you leave town
I don't want to be, I don't want to be around when you walk out
Time would tell, I had not enough to fulfill your needs
So i'll leave you before you can leave me
Love - it can deceive you
Love is trying to break you down again
Time could tell, none of what you want to believe in me
So I'll leave you before you can leave me
I'll leave you...

Waiting On A Breeze DEMO

WAITING ON A BREEZE
Was waiting on a breeze to knock me off my feet
When you came through and took me out
They could tell us where to go, but I don't want to know how bodies break
I rather look the other way
I look for you now in places we've talked about
Dear, how dare you leave me?
Without any word you left me lost and unaware
You just don't know or you just don't care?
Well, most would walk away but I can hardly wait
My body aches, but I like the pain
Only one thing left unsaid... "너를 사랑해"
I look for you now in places we've talked about
Dear, how dare you leave me?
Without any word or any leads
I look for you now in places we've talked of
Dear, how dare you leave me?
You left me lost and unaware
You just don't know or you just don't care?
So it goes, that you never know
So much for the ones you love
So much for love and so much for us

I'M FALLING (BY THE WAY)
Excuse me, do you know when the next train leaves?
I need to run to a new scene, anywhere far from here
Exhausted most of a promise, when all said and done
All of my optional outsets felt like broken leg
I'm falling (by the way)
I need to ease the pain
but not like this, no
Answer, bum me a smoke off a stranger
Borrow a light from a savior - save me the argument
I'm falling (by the way)
I need to ease the pain
I know, you like running away from your mistakes
But don't get carried away
Not like this, no
I'm falling...

A VIEW OF THE COURTYARD
A view of the courtyard from your hospital bed
I waited the hours, while you talked to the dead
And watered the flowers, held onto your hand
And I don't want it to end this way
I'm not ready to lose you
I'm not ready for what you came here to do
Without putting up a fight
At least for another day
We walked through the alley to get to the car
That's where you stopped me to tell me what you knew all along
That our love was a lot like, singing a song
And you don't want it to end this way, today
Without sense of reason, without you
I'm not ready to lose you
I'm not ready for what you came here to do
Without putting up a fight
At least for another day

SHE'S THE KIND OF GIRL
She's the kind of girl, you want to make her smile
She's the kind of girl you want on your side
She's the kind of girl you picture when day dreaming
She's the kind of girl I like
She's the kind of girl you have her eyes memorized
You've got her on your mind most all of the time
She is held responsible for at least a hundred heartaches
She's the kind of girl I like
I'll ask her to join me on the balcony to dance
She's that kind of girl you ask
You picture her there next to you
She is everything you need
She's the kind of girl for me
You are happy when she's stays longer than she's allowed
It's a pity, such a shame when she goes away
She can save the day, she has that effect on you
She's that kind of girl
Yes, she's that kind of girl
She's the kind of girl I like
She's the kind of girl I like

Coming Undone DEMO

COMING UNDONE
Calling all of the cynical and anyone who likes to spoil the fun
Saving up for retirement in case of the chance that you escape dying young
Suddenly lights make me uncomfortable
Caught me stuck and completely surprised
Call it strange or prophetical
You lose it all before the actual fight
Taking the train just for something to take
To get your mind off of shit that you hate
I bet I can guess why she didn't show
If these walls could speak what nobody knows
All of the signs would point to you
She fell in love with a criminal
He took off with my life
Now I'm stuck in a fairy-tale
Where the hero eventually dies
You get to keep everything that you've won
Till you get the feeling like you're coming undone
Pushing right past all the fallible lies
But then you ask now how the hell is this right?
All of the signs they point to you
You're all fired up from what you left unsaid
But time it reveals what you really meant
Stuck at the scene now you're rubbing your eyes
Some kind of sick trick of the mind
All of the signs they point to you… one at a time
Nobody notices all that you do with your life
Not on your life, not till you die
And then when you're gone
They finally like and sell all your art
Sound familiar?

BUT I WILL, EVERYDAY
One of us was waiting around for no one else
I've got enough, well I guess for now
With a brick on the balance, but too little to weigh a reason down
I've got a lot to figure out, so it seems
But I'll love you and you and you alone
I won't have to tell you what you'd already know
But I will, everyday
We just have to find a way to meet each other
So much for wasted time, and all of the drinking alone
Buying the bullets without a gun
I want the feelings, I want a part in your life
I want to pair your hand, your hand with mine
And I want to love you and you and you alone
I don't have to tell you what you already know
But you know I will, everyday
We just have to find our way to meet each other

ZOOEY, YOU'RE OKAY
Zooey Dechanel I wish I was your type
And I wish I was a part of your life, I like your style
I know that this can't be
Just take a look at me
but I'll say it anyway
Zooey, you're okay
Something would need to change, drop Mr. what's his name?
Only if he was borderline lame, aw shucks he's not
I know I don't have any shot
Heck I don't have a lot
but I'll say it anyway
Zooey, you're okay
I'll throw in a joke for a smile, save your money
Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha
Zooey Dechanel I wish I was your type
and I wish I was a part of your life
to make you laugh and cry... but the good kind

You Make Me Smile DEMO

YOU MAKE ME SMILE
I know some find it - hard to believe it
That someone like me is with you
Stars were aligned in the right place and time
When I saw you that afternoon
And I'm like them, I am in agreement
I'm lucky to be with someone like you
You are wonderful
You are, you are
You make me smile
Some are afraid of, that they are unable to
Find what I have with you
I was like that, now I'm a believer
Now I believe dreams can come true
Just so you know it, and never forget it
You mean the world to me

All Is Well DEMO

|
ALL IS WELL
It's a lie, we all tell
All our lives, it keeps happening
It's alright, all is well
I will never sell you out
Heart to break, wait a turn
Hard to say if it passed you by
When we try, all is well
I will never sell you out

Through These Eyes DEMO

|
THROUGH THESE EYES
Everyone thinks I am out of my mind
But I disagree, I'm just ahead of my time
Don't think of the world in your pictures of grey
Think of it now in a colorful way
All you know is what you believe
But through these eyes you just might see what I mean

Time To Ourselves DEMO
03:18
|

|
TIME TO OURSELVES
Sometimes we want it
Time to ourselves
But sometimes against our will
We find something else
I think I might…
Take it apart and start all over
Take my chances
You might want to come over
Something is happening
About to take flight
I've seen the worst of it
Passing us by

Where Are You Now? DEMO
00:53
|

Every now and then I think of sunlight
Shining on the days of where you are
You could spend a lifetime on the details
But it wasn't your fault, even I know
Where are you now?
Where are you?

A CHARGE TO THE BLOOD
Same time next week
I'll need to recover
With the same kind of relief
Turning the wheel on
Constant repeat
I'll spring for another
Charge to the blood
Electric pulse through my veins
A skip in my step
A lack in the armory
With a forecast - ill regret
Start it again for
One last retreat
Signs of the times
And a charge to the blood
A chain reacted pulse runs through my veins

All Bets Are Off DEMO

ALL BETS ARE OFF

Now, ready or not
You coming or what?
Get it, give it your all
At last, you shakedown what's in the past
Now on to the next one...

Love Like A Down DEMO
04:36
|

|
LOVE LIKE A DOWN
Somebody told me that love was a lot like a down
How you feel when doing nothing while standing around
As you wait for someone to relate, till it takes you away
Before you knew it came and your off
To follow some rules you don't understand
You're still a little confused on how to feel
There was a time that I thought love was blind
Till it opened my eyes, and I saw I knew nothing
But don't take offense, it's not meant to make sense
Often that's how it goes and yet nobody knows how to stop
Or where it might end, and could this be love?
Would we try try again to no avail
Somebody told me a lie
To be fair no one knew at the time
For a word undefined it's not worth to break ties
So a part of you is still is a part of me
There's nothing to gain but addiction to pain
When surrounded by walls all your thoughts will betray you
The longer you stay the greater the weight and the harder the fall
I hope that you find your way out
Do I have your attention?
You don't need to know but you have to believe
In a world unattended we look for the answers
and ask the wrong questions, and we are all wrong and we are all right
Somebody told you a lie
To be fair no one knew at the time
For a word undefined it's not worth to break ties
and a part of you is still is a part of me
