Nowhere To Go 03:32

I didn’t set my alarm I couldn’t hit the snooze Today’s a brand new day I can do what I choose My place is sparkling clean You could eat off the floor I got the day off from work Who knows what’s in store Doesn’t matter if it’s sunny today Gonna have myself a blank slate kind of day Dont need to get dressed Today I got no stress Don’t have to comb my hair I’m not going anywhere Cause I got nowhere to go And all day to get there Its such a perfect day I don’t have any cares I’m living the life Like I’m a billionaire Maybe I’ll hit the gym Or catch a new flick Catch a fish, cook a dish make a wish Don’t know what i’ll pick Doesn’t matter if it’s sunny today Gonna have myself a blank slate king of day Dont need to get dressed Today I got no stress Don’t have to comb my hair I’m not going anywhere Cause I got nowhere to go And all day to get there Doesn’t matter if it’s sunny today Gonna have myself a blank slate king of day Dont need to get dressed Today I got no stress Don’t have to comb my hair I’m not going anywhere Cause I got nowhere to go And all day to get there Cause I got nowhere to go And all day to get there Cause I got nowhere to go And all day to get there

Sometimes you take it as it goes Sometimes You Say It Isn't So This time You are going to chalk it up to Greed Sometimes you left before you cry Sometimes you live before you die This time You’re taking everything you need Big bets, cold sweats, Sly wink, fishnets it at all makes you feel so funky huge risk, French Kiss, you was want to top this I guess you’re an adrenalin Junkie Sometimes you leave before the end Sometimes you do do it all again This time You’re going to make it brand new plan Sometimes you're the one to blame Sometimes You feel so ashamed This time You’re moving'about as fast as u can Big bets, cold sweats, Sly wink, fishnets it at all makes you feel so funky huge risk, French Kiss, you was want to top this I guess you’re an adrenalin Junkie You’re always wanting more Enough is never enough What are you searching for You have the right stuff Sometimes you look before you leap Sometimes you take what you can keep I This time You’re trying to be the best u can be Sometimes you practice what you preach Sometimes you learn before you teach This time You’re going to pass the third degree big bets, cold sweats, Sly wink, fishnets it at all makes me feel so funky huge risk, French Kiss, I was want to top this I guess I'm an adrenalin Junkie

You never say you love me you never say you don’t You tell me that you’re leaving I’m betting you wont You say I’m putting up walls They’re so hard to break through But you’re the one building I’m not asking you to I know I am not easy bend you until you break If I had a halo…babe it’s bent out of shape You want to plan for the future I only think of today I’m driving you crazy but I like it that way I know I am not easy bend you until you break If I had a halo…babe it’s bent out of shape You say you are leaving I must say I’m surprised But for ever sun setting, another will rise I know I am not easy bend you until you break If I had a halo…babe it’s bent out of shape You never say that you love me but you wont say that you don’t

Paris 04:20
lyrics

Never been to Paris Or walked the coast of Spain Never skied down a mountain Or leapt from a plane No regrets for the things that Ive never done No regrets, except maybe one I want to write a song in Paris A love song with a French rhyme Feel the rain on the banks of the Seine So I better find time Never been to Kiev where my father was born Never driven a race car or blown a French horn Never been to Vienna or seen the great wall Never met any Beatles I loved John most of all I want to write a song in Paris Just to see how it feels Strum and stomp by the Arc de Triomphe To make my French love song seem real Never been to Boston but eaten lots of beans Never been to Chile or danced In New Orleans I missed the Eiffel tower And the Champs de Elysses Never went to the Louvre or had a real French crepe I want to write a song in Paris But I’m stuck here in the snow when I get there by God I swear This is how it will go

Tender 03:41

You’ll always be the captain of my heart Although there’s time’s when we’ve drifted apart Tender are the nights I spend with you Tender is the life I spend with you Remember when forever wasn’t long enough We gazed out to the starry night Everywhere I look I see your face Tattooed on my mind, I won’t erase Tender are the nights I spend with you Tender is the life I spend with you Remember when forever wasn’t long enough We gazed out to the starry night Remember when the stars shone bright enough They were our diamonds in the sky Tender are the nights I spend with you Tender is the life I spend with you Remember when forever wasn’t long enough We gazed out to the starry night Remember when the stars shone bright enough They were our diamonds in the sky

I've Been Young 03:59
lyrics

Young Beauty checks out the mirror Can’t see past pimples or thick thighs Grandma squints at the Black and White photo Admiring her long forgotten locks, and bright eyes Oh sweetheart, take a moment to listen What I’ve got to share is gold You know I have been young But you’ve ain’t never been old The youth travels so surely Carrying little wisdom wherever she goes The elder packs heartache and sorrow SeemsThe more she learned, the less she knows Oh sweetheart, take a moment to listen What I’ve got to share is gold I know you’ve been young And I haven’t yet had to be old They both have something they can offer The other doesn’t want to hear One worries about tomorrow The other lives today They have it figured out t’s all so crystal clear Oh sweetheart, take a moment to listen What I’ve got to share is gold You know I have been young But you’ve ain’t never been old

Too Close to the Fire 02:57
lyrics

Come stand by the fire The campfire's warm and the spirits free Drinking moonshine under the shining moon. Holding you close as we start to play The flames start to soar as our bodies sway Heat is rising, I feel this is starting too soon We’re dancing too close to the fire He flames are fueling desire The stars shine above I’m falling in love with you The sand feels so cool on our barefoot toes Your hair flies around as the cool wind blows Dancing close to the sound of electric guitars The heats so intense that our bodies melt I’m feeling a feeling I’ve never felt We are falling as fast as a shooting star We’re dancing too close to the fire The flames are fueling desire We’re moving so fast, I want it to last don’t you? We’re dancing too close to the fire He flames shooting higher and higher The stars shine above I’m falling in love with you But if we fall into the pit That will surely be the end of it It would feel so tragic to ruin the magic this night had spun We’re dancing too close to the fire The flames are fueling desire We’re moving so fast, I want it to last don’t you? We’re dancing too close to the fire He flames shooting higher and higher The stars shine above I’m falling in love with you Come in from the cold and come dance with me......

Another Friday Afternoon 03:54

Another Friday afternoon And I'm watching for you you walk in at 3:15 like you always do and you order the same soup ana a pot green tea another Friday afternoon and you don't see me I don't remember the first time it was ages ago when you brightened that Dungy Cafe with an Angelic glow I spend my whole week waiting for 15 minutes past 3 another Friday afternoon and you don't see me it might seem like I'm stalking you that's so far from true if you ever noticed me I'm not sure what I do I'm just happy to watch silently in Glee A m another Friday afternoon and you don't see me Don't meet your idols wise man said Theyll never live up to what's in your head Another Friday afternoon again you failed to show i watch the door until after dark Then I decide to go it's been months now and one become so Crystal Clear Wvery Friday afternoon I wish you were here
