Memory lane

lyrics

I'll keep you warm at night
if you'll keep me cold hearted
distract me through my days
and kiss me every time my stare goes blank

i hate everything i'm doing to you
you make me content you're a tool that i use
it hurts me to be your mr right
i know i'll break your heart just like she broke mine

i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights
i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights

she's half a world away
dancing in the rain

i'll keep you warm at night
if you'll keep me cold hearted 
my heart doesn't beat for you
but what's a lonely man to do

i need you here by my side
to keep thoughts of her from plaguing my mind
i party to help fight the blues
but when the party dies i die too
when the party dies i die too

i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights
i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights

she's half a world away
dancing in the rain
she's half world away
and i'm drinking through the pain

i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights
i need fresh air and starry nights
she loves the noise and city lights

Lyrics 

beautiful stranger
come back and dance with me
beautiful stranger
like you do in my dreams

you're lovely in black and white
perfect for just one night
and perfect is how you'll stay
as long as you stay away

stay away, stay away
stay away, stay away

beautiful stranger
beautiful stranger
beautiful stranger
beautiful stranger



Beautiful Stranger

Lyrics

I kiss your picture every night
just before i close my eyes
would you be my sweet
my sweet surprise

you are something rare
you make time slip away
I am drawn to you 
like the moth is to the flame

my passion is my poison
my vice is my delight
sins and second chances
will make everything alright
sins and second chances 
will make everything alright

i thrive on self destruction
like the stars thrive on the night
sins and second chances 
will make everything alright
sins and second chances
will make everything alright

i know out of sight
isn't always out of mind
i think of you
at the strangest of times

seattle will steal
all of my sunshine
but one day you'll be back
and that day you'll be mine

that day i'll be king
and you will be my queen
and just for one short moment
life will be a dream

life will be a dream
life will be a dream
life will be a dream
life will be a dream

i thrive on self destruction
like the stars thrive on the night
sins and second chances
will make everything alright
sins and second chances
will make everything alright

my passion is my poison
my vice is my delight
sins and second chances
will make everything alright
sins and second chances
will make everything alright

i kiss your picture every night
just before i close my eyes
and i wonder if you you're thinking of me too

Sunshine and Surprise

Lyrics

She spits pretentious affections
she rests her hand upon my leg
she's got a lot of lovely tricks
to make all of the fella's beg

her lips are shining ruby red
the lies are rolling off her tongue
and as her fingers brush my neck
i feel like i should turn and run

she'll softly sing seductive songs
just like the sirens on the seas
you know i've learned from sailors past
she'll never steal my heart from me

words whispered at the perfect time
i see the twinkle in her eyes
but i'm not like those other boys
i have the power to deny

seduction is a form of art
and she's the queen of broken hearts
she'll light a fire inside your soul
to feed off of its warmth and glow

temptation is her favorite tool
her smiles play you for a fool
but i see past those pearly whites
i see the heartless bitch inside
