Put it in the trunk, she said
The sky was gray and her eyes were red
I just didn't want to see
She was really leaving me
You don't have to go, I say
She shakes her head and looks away
I see a tear come trickling down
She was really leaving town
I don't know why I'm
Always the last to know
When love comes to an end
I don't know how I
Always do the same thing
Turn a lover...into a friend
I'm going over everything
My mind is still reeling
I just cant believe we're done
I thought that she might be the one
She gives me one long last look
All the pictures that I never took
So much that I needed to say
I just watched as she drove away
I don't know why I'm
Always the last to know
When love comes to an end
I don't know how I
Always do the same thing
Turn a lover...into a friend

I've got a crush on you
Everybody knows it except for you
For the life of me I don't know
What I'm gonna do
But Ive got a crush on you
I cant sleep at night
I wish that you were here to hold me tight
You just have to know that it would be so right
But I cant sleep at night
Loves a crazy thing, makes it hard for me to think
It leads me to the water, but it wont let me drink
I just can figure it out for the life of me
Love takes me to the movies, but it will not hold my hand
I'm trying so hard, but I just don't understand
I just cant figure it out and its killing me
Ill have a heart attack
If I tell you that I love you and you don't love me back
Id die her on the spot you know and that's a fact
And Ill have a heart attack
'Cause I got a crush on you
Everybody knows it and now so do you
For the life of me I don't know what I'm gonna do
'Cause I got a crush on you...

Pretty Please

Someone told me you were
Trying to leave this world
And it made me so sad
'cause you were always the one who
was so invincible
And I don't understand
You always said you would be there
You always said you would take me anywhere
Now I'm falling - down on my knees
Say we'll be together, forever
Pretty please
And I'm calling - I just cant believe
And I wont believe it never, ever
Pretty please
I still remember when you
were so young and so
hard to understand
You were always talking
About your crazy theories
About life and God and
Grains of sand
You always said you would be there
You always said you would take me anywhere
Now I'm falling - down on my knees
Say we'll be together, forever
Pretty please
And I'm calling - I just cant believe
And I wont believe it never, ever
Pretty please

Samantha

Something you should know is true
I'm more than half in love with you
I'm holding back as hard as I can
'Cause we both know I cannot be your man
One thing that you ought to know
I'm in deep and I cannot let go
Don't know exactly what to do
We both know I'm not the man for you
Something crazy going on inside of me
My head is spinning and it makes it hard to see
Samantha you've been holding up my heart
And I know its hard
And you didn't ask for any of this
Even with this pain in my head
I remember every word you ever said
And my heart just cant stop on a dime
I'd try to be your man if there was time
Something crazy has been making me smile
My head is spinning faster all the while
Samantha you always been my best friend
And I know its hard
Being here in the end...

Eight Ways
03:12
|
|||
|
She means everything to me
But she don't see what I see
That love is fleeting and
Self defeating but
Anything else is cheap
And she got a long ways to go
But when she gets there she'll know
That love is fleeting but
There's no retreating and
We all have to go
Shes got eight ways to make me turn my head
And a smile I know hI will never forget
And the years may come and go
But, years from now I know
I still wont be over it
Shes a bit out of my reach
And I should practice what I preach
And though I knew it
I think I blew it
I should have kissed her on the beach
She got eight ways into my heart
And a smile I know that can just tear me apart
And the years will come and go but
She will never know
That I loved her from the start
She got eight ways to knock me off my feel
And a smile that makes my heart miss a beat
And the years may come and go
But for now I know
Its a lonely one way street...

Its About Time
03:39
|
|||
|
Well, it’s been years since I’ve seen you - And a lot of miles in between
I left home with my guitar and some songs - And you stayed back in Abilene
My Mom said you finally left that guy - The one who never did treat you right
You took your cat and your records and some clothes - And just drove off one night
This is not about me being lonely, And I’m not saying that you need to find a man
This is not about rewriting the past, Or going back to where we began
But it’s about me
And it’s about you
It’s about time
I’ll be home in the morning – and you will hear me knocking on your door
My hair is longer, and the years have been hard – I can’t be without you anymore
It broke my heart you didn’t leave with me – I guess I was angry for awhile
The years go by and it all turns to dust – but I never could forget your smile

Loving Somebody
03:07
|

|
Sometimes its hard to know
When to just let go
When you're loving somebody
And they don't want to know
Sometimes its for the best
To just give it a rest
When your loving somebody
And they have no interest
Its hard to love somebody
When they don't love you
It hurts to want somebody
When they don't want you
I don't want to be somebody
Waiting for you
I wish I had a clue
'Cause I don't know what to do
I'm in love with somebody
And I wish that they knew
Its hard to k
hold somebody
When they wont hold you
It hurts to feel so much
When they don't feel you
I'm not gonna be somebody
Anymore for you...

Killing Katie
02:22
|
|||
|
Late night on the freeway
I'm driving to the sea
The only cars out this late
Are drunks and cops and me
I'm driving to forget her
Though we never were together
Id always hoped that
Maybe we might be
I'm killing Katie in my heart
Before we ever had a start
Before we ever had a chance to fall in love
And then drift apart
I'm killing Katie in my mind
Before she has a chance to find
I'm not running away
I'm just running out of time
Somebody once told be
You gotta take all you can get
But sometimes you are better off
Letting go instead
And sure I probably love her
But it would be cruel to tell her
And if its up to me she'll never ever know...
|

Girl I gotta hide my heart
Hide it away from you
Somewhere deep and dark
Where nothing can get through
I'm gonna hold my breath
And pray that you don't see
That I'm in over my head
Look what you've done to me
And its not that I don't love you
No its not that at all
But you're the only one that gets me
And I don't want you to see me fall
Boy you better hide that heart
'Cause I'm coming for you
I know you feel the spark
'cause I can feel it too
I wont give up on you
Even though you think I should
We got so much to do
And together we're so good
So I wont say that I love you
'Cause I kinda understand
I just want to be here for you
And hold you as long as I can

Brave Face
03:38
|

|
I'm almost ready to go
I'm putting on my brave face for you
I don't want you to know
That my time is nearly through
But I know - and now I see clearly
What I never did before
And I get so weary
Of explaining why and what for
So I put on my Brave Face
To make you feel good inside
I hope when I'm gone
You'll forgive me for the lie
Cause I put on my Brave Face for you
And I put on my Brave Face for me
You see me on the town
I'll tell you everything is fine
Well, yeah I'm doing well
Really dodged a bullet this time
But you don't know
The bullet's still in me
And its never going away
So I tell you what you want to hear
Instead of what I want to say
And I put on my Brave Face
So I don't have to explain
How I really feel all the time
And how there's still so much pain
So I put on my Brave Face for you
And I put on my Brave Face for me
I put on my Brave Face for
Everyone to see...

Hello Ray
04:06

Hello Ray, I'm in love with your daughter
I'm trying to fight it but still
I know she could do much better
I'm sure she probably will
We've been driving all night now
Through the rain and the snow
She just stares out the window, Ray
I think she already knows
So tell me something about her, Ray
Something to make me turn away
I cant be in love with her right now
Or if you've got a second, Ray
Maybe something to make her stay
She might be the one that could figure me out
How about it, Ray?
We've been driving for days now
We'll be in Vancouver by dawn
Not sure what i will do then
I guess I'll just move on
But sometimes she gets so quiet, Ray
And I can see that shes in pain
I ask her whats wrong and she shakes her head
And she never does explain
So can you give me a clue here, Ray
I'm running out of things to say
And this is not a usual problem of mine
I could be making a big mistake
So tell me what to avoid here, Ray
I'm starting to think that without her
My sun wont shine
Help me out, Ray
How about it, Ray?

Perfect Song
03:30
|
|||
|
I was wondering - if you - could see me
As more than just a friend, eventually
And I was hoping - you could love me
'Cause I'm in love with you, and always have been
There's another side of me - that no one gets to see
I hide it all away - because I'm so afraid
There's another side of you - the one I know is true
You've been hurt before - but this I know for sure
I can write you the perfect song
I'm gonna make it last - I'm gonna make it long
And it might take me fifty years to finish
But if you're here with me - here where you belong
You can help me write it
Write the perfect song
So now I'm wondering - what you're - thinking
Thinking about me - now that you can see
And I'm hoping - that you will love me
'Cause I'm so in love with you
And I don't know what to do
There's a place inside of me - that only you can see
I keep it locked inside - cause I' 'm so scared to try
There's a place inside of you - I know I can get through
We've both been hurt before
But this I know for sure
You can write me the perfect song
Make it from your heart, you can make it strong
And it might take a lifetime to finish,
But I'll be there with you
If you want me to
And I will help you write it
Write the perfect song...

Last Song
05:46
|

|
This is my last song
I swear it wont take too long
I need you to be strong, for me
If you could just hold my hand
And tell me you understand
This isn't how I had planned, to leave
If I don't see you in the morning
Please don't worry
If I don't see you ever again
Don't you cry for me
Its time that I am free, finally
I was the crazy boy
Always so full of joy
Making a great big noise
Its true
When I first saw your face
Everything fell in place
I was in outer space
For you
If I never again hold you
Im so sorry
I know I should have told you
Didnt want you to cry for me
Its time that I am free, finally
I never loved in moderation
(So many tears I have cried)
Ive always followed my heart
(I tried and tried and tried)
I only wanted to be with you
(Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh)
but I never knew where to start
(Start right now, start right now)
I never dreamed I'd be this lonely
(I never dreamed this at all)
I'm going out of my mind
(You've got to hold on for me)
You never know whats important until
(Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh)
You find yourself all out of time
(You've got time, you've still got time)
I'm tired of hearing how strong I am
(I just want to help)
Sometimes I cry all day
(Hush now baby, hush now baby)
We only get this one life so
(Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh)
Don't you let it get away
(You've got to got to got to)
I never loved in moderation
(So many tears I have cried)
Ive always followed my heart
(I tried and tried and tried)
I only wanted to be with you
(Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh)
but I never knew where to start
(Start right now, start right now)
I just never knew where to start...
