Music & Lyrics by Jeff Riley

Blue were her eyes, as blue as the ocean
As far as I can see,
Blue is the only color that matters

Soft was her skin, so soft like heaven
As far as I can tell,
Soft is the only touch that matters

She is mine, she is mine,
Pulls upon my leash

Sweet was her kiss, so sweet like honey
As long as I recall,
Sweet is the only taste that matters

Mellow was her voice, like marijuana
As far as feelings go,
Mellow's the only high that matters

Get me high, get me high
Sweep me off my feet

She brings me life, like a breath of fresh air
As long as I have known,
She is the only one that matters
She is the only one that matters
She is...

Things That Matter

Music & Lyrics by Jeff Riley

It's like I'm always dreamin' (just like I told you)
There's nothing like this feeling (let it control you)
I stepped outside to meet you, that's when I felt sunshine for the first time...
It burned so good

Good love came in the month of May
It's one hot summer (2x)

I can't control myself... (3x)
Around you

Rays break apart the storm clouds (it's like a blessing)
I used to be so strung out (over aggressive)
I finally woke up on the right side of the bed for the first time...
With you by my side

Days are fine in the summertime
With my flower child (2x)

I can't control myself... (3x)
Around you

Flower Child

Music & Lyrics by Jeff Riley

I see the sun rising up behind your shoulder
I felt the chill of the night warmed by your laughter
If part of you is broken, I'll fix it
Put you back together
Back in perfect shape... back in perfect shape

I fall down. For you, I fall down.

I feel as though I could die. It's a happy ending.
Living without you around isn't really living.
I could go on rambling about you, 
Because I've loved you
Every single day... every single day

I fall down. For you, I fall down.

Down

Music & Lyrics by Jeff Riley

She was born when the sun was going down
She was born in a sinful town
She was born with blackness in her heart
She was born to tear my world apart

And now I'm asking for help. A beggar on the long road of love, or is it Hell?
Can someone please take me home?

She took breath when the moon was hangin' high
She caused storms with a wicked cry
And she broke hearts using just a smile
I knew all this and still was hers a while

And now I'm feeling so numb from all the feeling I showed to a girl who knows not of love.
She wanted me to take it slow.

She was born to corrupt and sin
We share a bond, she's like an evil twin
That girl was spooky from the very start
Gets her kicks from tearing men apart

And now I hate to admit, I'm just another zero who thought I could be superman.
I tried to be her hero.

Spooky

Zodiac (Instrumental)

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Riley

Finally, the morning's come.
Bust the window open wide.
You and I, morning sun.
You and I. Just you and I.

Finally my day has come.
Bust the world open wide.
And they'll be sorry, everyone.
Everyone, but you and I.

Finally, the nightfall comes.
Got my eyes open wide.
Haunted house. Insomnia.
No sleep tonight for you and I.

You & I (Demo)

Music & Lyrics by Jeff Riley

You are light. I am just a darker shade of night.
You are pure. I am just a sickness with no cure.
And still I think that maybe,
You and I, we are a family.

You are hope. I am just the punchline of your joke.
You are great. I am just another face of hate.
And still I think that maybe,
You and I, we could be happy.

Now who wants love?
All you need is love.

You are free. I know nothing but captivity.
You are saved. I am slowly digging my own grave.
And still I think that maybe,
You and I, we could be something.

Now who wants love?
All you need is love.
Who wants love?
I don't deserve love.
I don't deserve your love.
I don't deserve...

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Riley

I'm in Heaven. Yes it's true.
Come inside for a while.
You're my girl.
All alone.
Insecure. Insecure…

Is this pain that I'm feeling?
Or is it love?
Is it fear?
You're my girl.
I'm your man.
All alone. All alone.

I'm in Heaven. Yes it's true.
Come inside for a while.
You're my girl.
All alone.
Insecure. Insecure...

Galaxy

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Riley

Separated at birth,
You are a twin of mine.
Go through life as though rehearsed.
We know it line by line.
You and I are but one,
There is none but we.
We are sun and moon above.
We are Earth, fire and sea.

I didn't get to say,
I didn't get to say goodbye. (2x)

Pulled away at first breath,
We share a chemistry.
To meet again upon our death,
Now, that's just destiny.
Like untied strings, one for life,
We are a unity.
A coupled dream, side by side,
Pulled close by gravity.

I didn't get to say,
I didn't get to say goodbye. (2x)
