I have been a poet all my life With really not too much to say So you can push me anywhere you like But you can't push me away My life is written down on papers in my room And yours is bottled up somewhere So I'll send you letters from half across the moon An...

Colors confuse you Light in your eyes will abuse you You are weak and hollow Blinded by beliefs that I cannot swallow The world will condemn you Your beliefs will release but never defend you You are cold but you boil You are lower than dirt but not worth the...

In the depths of the deep blue sea There's a blue as blue as me Where a quiet symphony plays for the lonely I could just let it all go Sink down to the world below Where I don't breathe but I don't know Cause I'm breathless When it's love It will rai...

They say it ain’t complicated Any fool can understand Until the fuse is lit and It blows up in your hand It all looks good on paper Step by step, you follow the plan In the sky watch the desperate vapor Til It blows up in your hand Love is rocket sci...

Ruby's shoes would take her A mile or so to school every day Where the white people hated her They'd scream and hold signs and tell her to go away But Ruby's will was stronger Than the bigots with the signs could ever know She stopped every morning on the cor...

I pay for my room And i try to forget it It’ll kill me I knew The memory, if I let it Hearts don’t fly but they can run like hell when we have to I didn’t leave you a note I didn’t leave you a photo I didn’t leave you a chance But I left you, I guess...

(Verse) Don’t leave me is all I hear you say Somehow it keeps me from all the plans that I’ve made Your promises sparkle, I tell myself not to believe The things that I want lose out to the one that I need (Chorus) Time does not waste itself A dream ca...

(Verse) You should be able to sleep at night You that I know used to have light in those eyes When you breathe in, it shouldn’t hurt You should be living the life you deserve (Chorus) I know the world just repeats itself And I know you’ll never feel an...

Laundry hangs by a wire in our yard but I've no desire to go and pick it off one shoulder at time But I must, how it calls me Broomed out the rugs in the hallway Another day again, not a moment goes by But I've left my head in your jacket Could you ch...

(Verse) Downtown dinner, doors are locked Old man got no way to talk And complain about tomorrow’s rain That tore down the little white church A big mall grew out of the dirt A bigger lawn, a parking lot This town is getting smaller and smaller (Choru...

The dog is barking the coffee is cold And I didn't sleep last night The say is still young but I'm one more day old Those kitchen towels used to be white Oh starlight star bright What the hell happened to you I've wished and wished night after night B...

It's late enough all you kids should be home The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own You remember wondering what his wife Thought about his occupation He knows that you were just chasing a dream To the town line and then back and over again...

St. Peter says “You picked a real good day” Your lungs fill back up with air - your worries float away Jesus smiles - he’s a handsome man He’s taller than you thought - eyes so warm - reaching out his hand In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn For all y...

Thanks for meeting me here I know it's late but I've been up all night I got the strangest feeling that my worst fears might be right Someone said that they saw him with a woman and she wasn't me And he's staring off in the distance and he's talking in...

(Verse) Susanna, what’s he gonna do without you? When you know he’s not meant for this world alone Susanna, who’s he gonna sing to now that you’re gone? (Chorus) Cause you never come back from a love like this And I’ll never forget the taste of your lip...

You say you think you can help me Think of me as someone who bleeds Well I never told you to love me That's your sort of greed I can make my own decisions I can do what I want to do And I don't have to share my addiction With any of you I'll be just fi...

Next time he tries to leave I’m gonna help him to the door Won’t be no sorrow from me cause there’s no sorrow anymore I tried like hell to make him happy but lord I’m no magician Just don’t know what happened to my sweet disposition... My daddy and my sis...

(Verse) When you’re some place just out of reach or worse When you’re lost among the stars When you’re drifting all upon a memory Search in your secret heart (Chorus) Take me with you when you’re gone I want to walk beside you now We’re not meant to b...
