The Romantic 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Pinpricks in the sky They’re not stars she tells me Well I’d take satellites Long as she’s beside me Shadows climb the bricks of solitude they’ve built to cage us in Here we are alone again To give those lips a kiss would use up every breath she’s left in me She’s all I have

Shoshana 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Stars were shining bright that night Oh you looked so pretty in the pale moonlight I made a promise to myself, that there would be no one else Waking at the break of day, finding that you’d run away I remember when you’d smile and say you’d be here every day Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing You’ve stolen my heart I’m lost in your beauty and I’ve fallen apart Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing I’m calling your name How long ‘til I can see you again? I find flaws in everything, to hear you laugh is all I need Come to me and make this right, we’ll set the summer skies alight Running through these D.C. streets, the gentle rhythm of our feet Will beat the anthem of our time, A toast to love and life Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing You’ve stolen my heart I’m lost in your beauty and I’ve fallen apart Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing I’m calling your name How long ‘til I can see you again? Never thought I’d see you again, and I’m always trying to find Memories of you in my head, and images of you in my mind I bottled up the pain, in an hourglass we slip away With nothing left to find, but a piece of you and peace of mind Woah, Shoshana Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing You’ve stolen my heart I’m lost in your beauty and I’ve fallen apart Oh Shoshana, oh sweet thing I’m calling your name How long ‘til I can see you again? How long til I can see you? See you again How long til I can see you again? Well, How long til I can see you again?

Lost 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Lost your place, somewhere in the storm That raised the roof of all that you’d call home Lost your head, lost the one that you love No sense of place makes sense in this world Tales from the radio When I am on the other side, when I am alone Yeah, I’m sure I’ll find the way back home The time has come to tell yourself the truth Surpass the lies that bottled up your youth To sell yourself to the one that made you great That train has come but you were just too late Tales from the radio And when I am on the other side, and when I am alone Yeah, I’m sure I’ll find the way back home Tales from the radio playing all night long Tales from the radio stuck on the same old song Tales from the radio playing on and on in me Tales of a heart that’s left on broken glass And the shattered mind of the man that’s left Tales from the radio playing on and on in me They play on and on and on and on in me On and on and on and on in me On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on They play on and on and on and on in me

Fraying Hands 04:31
lyrics
buy track
You took me in and hung me out, A ragged man I brought you down The only heart I had to give, Was growing old and wearing thin Yeah My fraying hands lay at my side, Only wanting yours in mine And as the rain ran down my face, I watched another take my place And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that Bloody, battered, bruised, and beat, I cried for shelter from the street A fog of darkness filmed my eyes, And numbed the pain I felt inside That timid cricket in your mind, Was a conscience none too kind But it won’t matter what you say, You’re meager words came far too late And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that

For You 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Caught up in the heat of your smile Trying to write it down in time Tie it up with colored thread A bundle of words unsaid to you Say it, say it’ll all work out Tired, tired of running ‘round My heart plays a lonely vow for you Headstrong, keep it all inside This cage leaves nowhere to hide Broke down, and I’m coming clean Hold out for dreams of me and you Say it, say it’ll all work out Tired, tired of running ‘round My heart plays a lonely vow for you Ooh, tell me what to do Ooh, to prove my love for you Ooh, it’s all for you it’s true Wingless, I am crashing down Heartache, utter not a sound Fire, burning it all down for you Say it, say it’ll all work out Tired, tired of running ‘round My heart plays a lonely vow for you Ooh, tell me what to do Ooh, to prove my love for you Ooh, it’s all for you it’s true (simultaneously) Say it, say it’ll all work out Tired, tired of running ‘round My heart plays a lonely vow for you
