Well I bet you were just the one to see thisAnd call me on it she's been 
Wasting her time living from the bottle baby she's a model in every sense of the word
Look at her standing in the corner with a body made to order and an eye for a good time
Am I the only one who seems to notice?

Gotta get your girl right off my mind
(Headed for the back door)
You and I, for once, will cross this line
(Love is what we live for)
Don't tell me you know better
You're no better, no
And there we go
I lay it down on the line just one more time
(Headed for the back door oh!)

Now she's walking across the room to the bar scene
And counting on it she's been
Taking her shots semiautomatic
Sudden and sporadic as she makes her way to the floor. 
How could I even try resisting
When her body keeps persisting and her eyes keep calling.
Or am I the only one who seems to notice?

Gotta get your girl right off my mind
(Headed for the back door)
You and I, for once, will cross this line
(Love is what we live for)
Don't tell me you know better
You're no better, no
And there we go
I lay it down on the line just one more time
(Headed for the back door oh!)


Better safe than misunderstoodOthers wear it on their sleeve,
I've keep mine layered underneath
I've kept it deeper than I've wanted to
But these walls don't come down easy, do they?
Not like I've got much to lose
But I'm sick with hesitation climbing up to expectiatons
Holding back just like I'm wont to do
But I'm breaking out, I'm breaking down

I'm not the kind to make advances
Given up for other chances
I don't think I live enough I'll try
Woah
Hey, is this seat taken for the evening?
Hard enough to ask believe me 
If you wan't to play along that's fine
Yeah.

In love with how she won't shut
Up about the ocean
I don't think she knows but
I'm gonna drown
Darling pick your poison
I won't pick it for you
Dreams of California
No I don't think I'm walking out.

Every moment's under fire
From a criticizing mind and overanalyzing eye
The pressure's building, building all the time
Every lines a loaded gun, now pull that trigger, hope you won
We'll take our time... she's breathin' fine...
I can tell just what she's thinking
Cause she says it like it's easy
Spinning chambers empty every time.
So I set it down, I've said it now

I'm not the kind to make advances
Given up for other chances
I don't think I live enough I'll try
Woah
Hey, is this seat taken for the evening?
Hard enough to ask believe me 
If you wan't to play along that's fine
Yeah.

In love with how she won't shut
Up about the ocean
I don't think she knows but
I'm gonna drown
Darling pick your poison
I won't pick it for you
Dreams of California
No I don't think I'm walking--

Suddenly, I find in me
The strength to let my anchors go
But subtlety is lost on me
I know

In love with how she won't shut
Up about the ocean
I don't think she knows but
I'm gonna drown
Darling pick your poison
I won't pick it for you
Dreams of California
No I don't think I'm walking out.


Pick Your Poison

Well I must say that I'm surprised you're hereI heard you swear you'd never go out
Just a brief exchange, embers from a dying flame
With no one kindling the spark

Since then it's been 3 mixed sherries,
4 Hail Mary's, and 2 strawberry gins

But no I, I won't dance with you
Sunshine, walk away no I
Don't mind saying such
Cause that's over, over
Cold stare, you could say that it's
No fair, and that's just great cause
Don't care anymore
Cause that's over, over...

Well, I had hoped that you had other motives
But I was clearly wrong this time
I guess the past was not as dead as expected
Resurrected in your mind

Let's keep it dead and buried
Cause I'm not ready
To fix my heart again

But no I, I won't dance with you
Sunshine, walk away no I
Don't mind saying such
Cause that's over, over
Cold stare, you could say that it's
No fair, and that's just great cause
Don't care anymore
Cause that's over, over...

Well I shouldve known you would,
But you never said anything, 
Oh you and all your petty things you rectify
By leaning in and whispering
That you don't mind the wait
Well don't hold your breath...

No Time For Sunshine

Well it's been a long time comin'But I'm finally on my own
Wanted to try for somethin'
But I'm better off alone

Back to the old roads travelled
Hopin' that I still know the way.
But no matter where I'm goin',
You can't ever be too far away.

I stood by
You gave a little, didn't give it to me.
Kept your lips shut tight
Throw it on me I can give it right back to ya
I was cast aside
And overlooked like you were finished with me
No more wastin' time
You throw it on me I can give it right back to ya

Not like I'd fallen for ya,
But I never thought you'd let me down
But I don't feel all that shaken
Cause I never hit the ground

I stood by
You gave a little, didn't give it to me.
Kept your lips shut tight
Throw it on me I can give it right back to ya
I was cast aside
And overlooked like you were finished with me
No more wastin' time
Throw it on me I can give it right back to ya

All my lonely days seem to be goin' away
Since leavin' you behind
Lost my hiding place, but cast off all of my weight 
And found my peace of mind

I stood by
You gave a little, didn't give it to me.
Kept your lips shut tight
Throw it on me I can give it right back to ya
I was cast aside
And overlooked like you were finished with me
No more wastin' time
Throw it on me I can give it right back to ya


Long Time Coming


You had a man on his knees, left him reaching as you walked away.Was only aiming to please, hit the mark you dropped him anyway
You want the world in your hands, a knight to save you in a motorcar
To drive you into the sunset happy endings til the castle falls

Pulling on the reins, the pedestal you claim is never high enough
Shaking in your skin, cause even if it is, it'd never hold you up

Hearts and hand grenades ticking down time
Blow themselves to bits into the sky
Flawless til you're held up to the light
Golden til the gold catches your eye
Alright

Well loving you is a risk and I can't call myself a gambling man
Cause I won't bend for no bitch who would break me chasing her horizons yeah
You say you know what I need and I say you could use some therapy
Because you can't seem to tell when you're not the one who's suffering 

You don't want a man, you just want a fantasy and can't wake up
Kill it when it starts, I won't be a martyr for your part time love

Hearts and hand grenades ticking down time
Blow themselves to bits into the sky
Flawless til you're held up to the light
Golden til the gold catches your eye
Alright

I would think you would run out of tears by now
As much as you use them
Some twist arms but you twist faces
I can reach anything that I want, but not the way you did
No never the way that you did, what are you doin?

Hearts and hand grenades ticking down time
Blow themselves to bits into the sky
Flawless til you're held up to the light
Golden til the gold catches your eye
Alright


Happy Endings

Lyrics:

Well I'd like to see you again, but I don't know if I could handle it
Cause we can both play pretend, but I'm not so frail
Cause I don't strive for innocence, and I'm not living just to get by
Heartbeats are not unlimited, so I've no intent to waste one of mine

No we don't waste time and we dont think twice just keep your light on
Everything comes fast heavy feet won't last won't last,
No well baby we don't

I want to see you again, but it's not easy when you're going to war
The battle's won but it's just another false charge.
See you can drift with everyone over the waterfall and that's fine (yeah it's fine)
But just for once come up for air, and see the things that make it worthwhile

Orange Joe
