See me weaving through these rain drops.
Pick it up. Take it slow.
It’s not the only way the pain can stop,
But it may be the only way I know.

See me weaving through these rain drops.
Cut ‘em off. Cause a scene.
Wishing it could be the way it was
But isn’t that the way it’s always been?

Since the last time I let ya down, I let ya down
All I did was fall in love.
She did her magic and she kept me round, she kept me round
But I can’t have it all at once.

I wrote a letter and I signed my name, I signed my name
But don’t know who to give it to.
The choice is obvious and I’m to blame, yes I’m to blame
I’m sorry. It was always you.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So, please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

Don’t put me out. I promise now,
you’re the only habit that I wanna fall into.
See my eyes. Realize.
I’m the man you love and holy shit do I miss you.

Hand out. I stand down,
fully at your mercy as I pray that you reach back.
And I know, you move slow
But she don’t, I can’t do it on my own.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

Painkiller (Live Demo)

She very well may be
the Bonafide manifestation of intangibility
articulated to me
in a language that's both eloquent yet so inexplicable.

She's the funky drum line to my smooth jazz melody.
It's hitting me suddenly, but softly
like a summer day sea spray.
She's cool and refreshing
and it's giving me the chills.

So, all I wish is that she'd stay a while.

A lot of love gets lost between hearts and satellites.
Won't you stay around my way, my dear?
A lot of love gets lost between hearts and satellites.
I wanna keep it in our atmosphere.

So, all I ask is that you stay a while.

You got a little bit more than a little bit
and I'm a little more than a little bit sure bout that!
In fact, I think I might say you got it all
'cause there ain't nothin' I been lookin' for that you lack.

And when you're next to me
I feel it like ecstacy.
But when our love ricochets in from outer space
I know something gets lost along the way

So, all I ask is that you stay a while.

A lot of love gets lost between hearts and satellites.
Won't you stay around my way, my dear?
A lot of love gets lost between hearts and satellites.
I wanna keep it in our atmosphere.

Stay (My Way, My Dear)

On her heels, on her lips
Lies, Lies, Lies...
but her hands are honest.

In her blouse, in her hair there's
Lies, Lies, Lies...
but her eyes are honest.

She don't hope, she don't dream, she just
Dies, Dies, Dies...
as she tries to make a living.

With her head in her hands, she
Cries, Cries, Cries...
'cause she knows they're not lying.

She's just a woman.
She's just a woman.

Oh Damsel, how long can she go on
coloring her feathers
and never spread her wings?

Oh Damsel, she put her all her chips down
betting on a full house;
her cards never came.

Now she's just a woman.
She's just a woman.

Don't take my picture.
There's a cop behind the lens.
I'm not sayin' that I'm doin' something bad but,
I guess the less they know, the better off I am.

Somebody told me once, you should never wake a sleepwalker.

Don't take my picture
'cause I can't see behind the lens.
These internet privacy settings may be
the biggest oxymoron there has ever been.

Somebody told me once, you should never wake a sleepwalker.

I ain't now Socrates. I ain't no Cornell West.
I'm just a regular guy with a head up on my neck,
but I don't need no Einstein to see that times are changing.

And I ain't no Nietzsche. I ain't no Aristotle.
I'm just a regular guy sippin wisdom outta bottle,
but I don't need no Newton to see the gravity of things.

Somebody told me once, you should never wake a sleepwalker,
but never told me why or what would happen if I did.
So, you can bet I went ahead and woke a sleepwalker
and she thanked me, 'cause last time she fell down the steps.

Don't take my picture
and give it to this world to see
'cause I don't know much about this world,
but whoever runs it sure as hell knows you and me.

Somebody told me once, you should never wake a sleepwalker.

I ain't now Socrates. I ain't no Cornell West.
I'm just a regular guy with a head up on my neck,
but I don't need no Einstein to see that times are changing.

And I ain't no Nietzsche. I ain't no Aristotle.
I'm just a regular guy sippin wisdom outta bottle,
but I don't need no Newton to see the gravity of things.

Somebody told me once, you should never wake a sleepwalker,
but never told me why or what would happen if I did.
So, you can bet I went ahead and woke a sleepwalker
and she thanked me, 'cause last time she fell down the steps.

Don't Take My Picture

The way the wind blows,
the way to clouds roll by,
the way the dawn knows how to make the songbirds sing.

The way the stream flows
freely down the mountainside.
That's the way our love goes; we don't have to force a thing.

'Cause I know you
and you know me.
Our love is comfortable.
Our love is easy.

It's automatic, natural, in fact it
feels as though there's no control, but no reason to panic.
Like a heartbeat; easy as an ocean wave.

Law of vibration, simple syncopation,
feelin' our two rhythms like a single sensation.
I don't ever have to wonder if you feel the same.
I know...

'Cause I know you
and you know me.
Our love is comfortable.
Our love is easy.

Comfortable

Somewhere out there
in the winds of the Himalayas
there is a man.
He lived his life
dreaming of reaching the peak of Everest.
Now there he stands.
As he looks out
at the pearl white cotton candy ocean,
his mind fills with wonder.
A single tear
fails to fall before it’s frozen
and for a moment he’s younger.

It’s not too late.
It’s not too late
to realize
that every morning I wake is another chance that I have
to do something great.

That’s why I’m makin' these pancakes.
Yea I’m makin' these pancakes.
I’ll stack em high with the syrup on top and
a little butter in between.
You can watch while I’m doin my thing
with these mother ---- kin pancakes.

Somewhere out there, 
there’s a good man running for public office
changing hearts and changing minds.
Somewhere out there,
there’s a good old fashioned family practice
doing their part, saving lives.

Somewhere downstairs,
there’s a boy with a mind as bright as
the photon blast of a cosmic flame
Somewhere downstairs,
There’s a girl with a heart of gold
and a voice that brings truth to her name.

Pancakes

I’m calling out today
There’s not much to say
If I’m being honest, there’s just someplace else I’d rather be

Always doing what I ought to do
And now I laugh at all I thought I knew
Cuz if I’ve learned anything at all it’s that this life is fleeting.

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life
But one thing is for sure.
When I’m 84
I’ll never wish I’d worked more.

Took some time off a bit ago
I gave it up to watch the kids grow
I’m satisfied ‘cause somebody wise told me they're only young once.

So, throw the money out the door.
Fuck it I can always make more.
You can take it all away cuz the money can’t replace these summer months.

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life
But when I reach my end,
Reminiscing about back when
I know I won’t regret a second spent with them

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life,
But this one is a fact
The ones you love and the days you have
There’s some things in life you just don’t get back

Not Much I'm Sure Of

Give me 1. I want 2.
Give me 2. I want 3.
Gimme Gimme Gimme your time and love. Give it all to me.

I want your past, your present, your future
I don’t think that I’m asking for much.
All I want is your outer space ‘cause your world is just not enough.

I want more!
I want more!
I want more from you.
Take a bite. Sink my teeth into you.

I want to have your cake. I want to eat it too.
I got my eyes on your ice cream.
Gimme Gimme your tasty treats. Give 'em up to me.

I want all of your business, your pleasure.
I don’t think that I’m asking for much
All I want is your sleepless nights, ‘cause your days just ain’t enough.

I want more!
I want more!
I want more from you.
Take a bite. Sink my teeth into you.

More!

You & I

Colorado Springs

When your down and out
With a head full of doubt
Like who could ever love you at your worst?

I do.

When you think
No one sees the sacrifices you make
All the give and no take.

I do.

When the days are long
And it feels like no one sees beyond 
the face that you’ve been putting on

I do.

Until the seas run dry
And the stars fall from the sky
No one’s ever gonna love you like
I do.

You and I
Through the fire
I see it. I do.
Do you think
We can make
This last forever? I do
Until the sun burns out
My final breath is for you.
Believe it when I say it.
I do.

I vow,
For as long as fate will allow
To put you first in everything that

I do

To be your calm,
and love you still,
Even when the thrill is gone.

You and I
Through the fire
I see it. I do.
Do you think
We can make
This last forever? I do
Until the sun burns out
My final breath is for you.
Believe it when I say it.
I do.
