Wrong Way Street
Released February 2008

Tracks:

Fine Alone
The story ends the same way it came to be
Long before it ever began
Show me I'm wrong, tell me I'll heal with time
Cuz i can't forgive this crime

The choice is hard, alright
When you're not what you seem
So I'll sleep alone tonight
When I dream
And I'll be fine alone

Illusions of love do wonders for confidence
But push comes to shove and she straddles the fence
"Decisions are tough, but loneliness worse," you'd say
"Life can be rough that way."

The choice is hard alright
When you're not what you seem
So I'll sleep alone tonight
When I dream
And I'll be fine alone

And in the end everything will be fine
The branches that pain can be pruned
And with the grapes we can make sweet wine
And the time will heal all the wounds
The time will heal the wounds
Time will heal all the wounds

Forget the World
You promised yourself that you wouldn't fall victim to falling to fast
You made yourself swear that you'd pass it all by if you came on the chance
But is seemed so far away
You didn't think you'd have to fight it so soon
But still, fight it you will

Forget the world, I will show you all you need to see
I assure you
Forget the world, leave your fears behind and come with me

It's not for lack of want, but restrictions keep us apart
And you refuse to give in to what would take me
This would break me

Forget the world, I will show you all you need to see
I assure you
Forget the world, leave your fears behind and come with me

I will live, I will learn
I will light myself with love and I'll burn
I will show you there's no risk here
No, this is everything
You won't miss anything

So forget the world, I will show you what you need to see
I assure you
Forget the world, they will lie to you, but I won't deceive
Forget the world, leave your fears behind
Come on

Tommy's Song
I could reach up into the sky
And trace your name through the clouds
But you won't even read it
You say you've seen enough of me
And you think you've reached the end
Well I'm just getting started

You can run away from me
You can ignore me when I call
But I won't let you go
You can tell all your friend
That you don't love me anymore
But I won't let you, I will not let you go

So stop joking around, you know we're meant to be
And for the last time, I'd like you not to be so mean to me
You're just bringing me down

You can move to another country
Get a new name and change your face
But I won’t let you go
Cuz I know you'd regret it
And you would come crawling back to me
Yeah, I know what's best for you
So I just won't let you go

Don't say that you're scared of me
Cuz nobody likes a tease
And I know you think you're being funny
But it really cuts me deep when you duck out the back door when I come over

So stop joking around, you know we're meant to be
And for the last time, I'd like you not to be so mean to me
So stop your messing around, no need to call the police And just this one time, why can't you understand what you mean to me? You're just bringing me down
Yeah, you're bringing us down

The Sign
(Originally written and recorded by Ace of Base)
I got a new life
You would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
How can a person like me care for you
Why do I bother, when you're not the one for me?
Is enough enough?

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?

Under the pale moon
For so many years I've wondered who you are
How can a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon
Where I see a lot of stars
Is enough enough?

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?

I saw the sign, and it opened up my mind
And I am happy now, living without you
I left you all alone
I saw the sign, and it opened up my mind
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign

The Plan
You will take me out
Treat me like no one else is around
We'll flirt over coffee
And I will hang all over you
We'll talk about the future
And how I can't wait 'til you meet my friends
Then we'll walk out together, like it's been us forever
And I'll say

Do not show me affection
Don't try to express how you feel
You'll hide that you need me
If you want to be here
With me

Your will's obsolete
A romancer, albeit discreet
So by the end of the night
I will have you aching, wanting, weak
And I'll concede you a hug
But that's as far as we go
There'll be nothing misheard
Cuz I won't say a word
...but obviously...

Do not show me affection
Don't try to express how you feel
You'll hide that you need me
If you want to be here
With me

But don't get me wrong
I applaud you taking a chance
And I suppose my lip-biting glance
Well, it was just misdirection
But it got your attention
But do not show me affection
Don't try to express how you feel
You'll hide that you need me
If you want to be here
With me
Yeah, unless you like rejection
I do not want to know how you feel
So don't think this is real
You will just leave me be
To stay here with me
To stay here with me
So stay here with me

Volition
Am I searching for a cause?
I am not running away
Is tomorrow what it was?
For I am gunning for it

I don't pretend to know the way

But don't call me lost
I'm not alone
Don't say I'm gone
I feel right at home

I am breathing foreign air
A mystery is sewn
I will show what will not bear
Chasing truths untold

So are you undertow,or will you let go?

Don't call me lost
I'm not alone
Don't say I'm gone
I feel right at home

Why so scared
Of my volition?
Your eyes are cold, wasted and bare
Have a little vision
See for yourself
There's nothing here to keep me
So don't call me lost
I'm not alone
Don't say I'm gone
I feel right at home
And I am not alone

Back to Me
Honestly, I never saw this coming
I thought there were just two hearts here at stake
Please know that I don't blame you
It was just choice you had to make
So I will do what I must
I will bow down to fate, and hand her my trust

And I will set you free
I will set you free
I will set you free
And I will wait for you to come back to me

This is 180 degrees
From where we left off
We'd finally found what we'd been needing
We wanted what we had
But now that's lost
So even though I need you here I will let you go
And I will bury myself in anything at all
When I am dying for you to show up at my door
Or trying not to wait for your call
Or a letter
Or anything at all

I will set you free
I will set you free
I will set you free
Please come back to me

Your mother should know that sometimes it's just not right
To have to work so hard for all that you need
And it's easy to cry, "This is just a honeymoon high!"
From the outside, where she can't see
That this is higher than any honeymoon can fly
Still you've got some answers that you need to find
And I love you
I need you
So goodbye

Promise me that you know I'd die to hear your voice right now
I'm only not calling because you need to know
What would you do without me?
And can he make you happy, like I can?

I will set you free
I will set you free
I will set you free
And I will wait

For the Better
I suppose it's gonna take
One day at a time
Years and years 'til I find
Where is my piece of mind
And you know that I can't understand
Yet I hear you saying that I can
But what am I gonna do without your hand
There to guide me?

If you must go, I want you to know
My heart will truly be with you forever
But I guess this is it for us, for now
Sometimes it's for the better

This doesn't make sense at all
How could you be so hurt by something that's so small?
And you've made it through this long, hard haul
But now you will fall
I had always thought that you could pull yourself together
But you're not faking that your aching so bad
Still you wonder why I linger so on all that we had
And why does this make me so mad

If you must go, I want you to know
My heart will truly be with you forever
But I guess this is it for us, for now
Sometimes it's for the better

Sometimes it's for the better
Well, if this is the better
Then maybe better isn't better after all
Some days you like the pain
Well I can read your mind
Oh, and I don't like what I see
So it's time for you to get in line
Or get out of mine
And let me move on

Pick up and move on
And look for someone else to love
I've got to find someone who'll make me forget all about you
So no one will ever be enough
Oh, your expectations, they exceed me
When you concede to me
That, after all, you must leave me
top

48 Days
You spread the truth, you walk the line
Comfort of home, you left behind
You're on my mind
So far away, so strange a place
Bet you could use a friendly face
So make your way home
When they leave you seeing red
And all you need's a place to lay your head

They say anger lacks divinity
But twice the sin is apathy to bear
And though they know, they don't care
So you stretch your arms out to the foe
And reach in for the soul you know is there
Somewhere

Their heads are harder than their words
You argue well, but they're so sure
They will let you down, girl
They will feed you wine and bread
When all you need's a place to lay your head
Your anger is a tragedy
But half the sin of apathy to bear
And it's not fair, but don't you dare give up
There's nowhere left to go from here
Keep reaching for the soul you know

No, don't run away
They'll come around any day
Show themselves mistaken
Have to take that to their graves

48 days and nights spent sweating
So much faith, but nobody ready
To hear what you've got to say
Still you scream it out
Time too short for such a tall order
Heads too hard for such a soft shoulder
Still you try to save the world
But it's too late now

They stake their claim to righteousness
And blind their eyes with selflessness in prayer
But they don't care
The afterlife will come too soon for them
When lives are lost, their own are spared
It keeps them there

On a Wire
I had a dream I was high on a wire
I was walking alone
Sky was dark, air was cold, it was raining
I was soaked to the bone

Straightjacket's tight and my muscles are aching
Struggle's wearing me down
Beautiful siren, I yearn just to touch you
For I'm in love with your song

You don't know, but I'm right here inside you
Deep and dark in your mind
You can't see, but I'm right here beside you
I will protect you and night
No, you won't leave my sight

I have a dream you are high on a wire
But you are not alone
Sky is dark, yes it's cold and it's raining
But I'm in you, warm your bones

You wouldn't ask, but I'm here to protect you
You, my love, draw me near
You don't hear as I whisper of longing
Just feel the breath on your ear
But I will always be here
top

If I Care
I'm plain
My favorite color is mud
My veins
Are flowing with brown blood
Dull, but not disgusting
Indifference bears no friend
And I don't know
If I care

I'm drab
Drown you in monotony
Not sad
But that will not stop you from praying for me
You swear I could be so much better
If I would just try a little harder
But I don't even know anymore
If I care

Stop staring at me, please
You know I hate being seen
So I will disappear
I will fade from here
I will fade away

top

Let You Know
Believe it or not, I have been here before
Just not as many times
Like it or not, no one is keeping score
So no more neverminds
No more words confined
Just treat me like anyone else

And I will let you know
If you're hurting me

It's quiet in this car
Save our breathing, there is nothing left to hear
The rain pours down from angry skies
Blinds us to the world outside
And you remind me not to close my mind to others
But there is no world outside
And I see no one else but you
So do with me now what you will

And I will let you know
If you're hurting me

My surprise...what did I find?
You were picture perfect, and I was blind
And though I hadn't seen you coming
I'll be ready this time
So don't worry tonight
