Memory Lanes

Today, I saw her face,
And beside her was a man that I can tell
Holds her heart now.
And to my disgrace,
I'm still hoping, waiting for a chance to take
It back somehow.
I've strolled down memory lanes for a while,
Nothing new to see here, and I shouldn't be here.
Don't matter how many steps I take,
Nothing new to see here, and I shouldn't be here.
I feel like I've lost my home,
I feel like I've lost it all.
I'm nothing but alone,
Tell me where do I go from here?
When our eyes met,
That second felt like hours and I can't,
Oh, I can't forget it.
I wonder if you'll let me think of your
Simple wave goodbye
As closure to our time.
I've strolled down memory lanes for a while,
Nothing new to see here, and I shouldn't be here.
Don't matter how many steps I take,
Nothing new to see here, and I shouldn't be here.
I feel like I've lost my home,
I feel like I've lost it all.
I'm nothing but alone,
Tell me where do I go from here?

Flowers

Step outside, test the weather for me, what does it feel like? Will the cold cut our cheeks, Or the Sun soothe our skin? Your heart may have been broken, but your soul remains strong. Tell me all about your life since I lost those blue tide eyes.
The flowers by your bed are long gone, baby, Somewhere near the photo you loved. Everything will be forgotten, maybe,
On a summers day far from now.
Step outside, do you see what I see, or is it sunlight? Are the fields evergreen, like I hoped you would find? My time ran out to keep you, 'cos we both know I'm not all right. There's nothing left to find, when I still dream you're mine.
The flowers by your bed are long gone, baby, Somewhere near the photo you loved. Everything will be forgotten, maybe, on a summers day. Hold your head high, no don't cry baby, This wasn't meant to darken your mood. I've just been so damn choked up lately,
But I know, I'll be fine...
And the sun will rise to forget the night, And the clouds will leave for clear skies.

Up High

I was in trouble, been drifting down that road so long,
In a bubble, a little place that I felt I belonged.
Would she tremble, if she knew how I'd been feeling since we
Separated, though maybe it's best not to care.
In a picture, painted by my own self doubt,
I found problems, ones that I could have done without.
So I left them high on a shelf that's out of reach, And now I've grown a smile.
'Cos I'm up high,
Wondering why I was so up tight,
Souring the skies now.
Got lots to learn, but I'm alive and singing
Happy now that's out the way,
Happy now that's out the way.
In the future, I'll pay a penny for my thoughts.
Not to keep them, just to settle feuds already fought.
If I'm lucky, find the pot of gold I'm searching for, It'll be worth it if the journey hasn't taken toll.
'Cos I'm up high,
Wondering why I was so up tight,
Souring the skies now,
Got lots to learn, but I'm alive and singing Happy now that's out the way,
Happy now that's out the way.
I'm sorry for the mess I made,
It was long ago and my mistake.
Call me your friend, now.

A Place To Rest
04:48

Fallen trees, they surround me where I subside.
Laying peacefully, I seek comfort in the stars.
My Father told me, decisions made cannot be changed, So live your life, son, the world has no place for regret.
But I can't shake the feeling I've been wondering around abandoned streets. A wasteland left behind
By those who know what's best.
Something left me broken many months ago, It cured my fear of the sea and it's unknown depth.
As they pass me, faces never seem to change.
No expression, but to them I may look the same.
A reckless culture, the sublime power of the mind.
A friendly gesture, priceless gifts worth our time.
But I can't shake the feeling I've been wondering around abandoned streets. A wasteland left behind by those who know what's best. Something left me broken many months ago, It cured my fear of the sea and it's unknown depth.
When you find me, tell them I've found a place to rest. And when I come back, I'll be nothing but the best.

Sail Away

How did I get here?
I've lost my mind here many times before.
In the mist of passion,
There's a faint distraction that we can't ignore.
I don't know how to think, I guess I'm always lost. And I don't know how to sing the love song that you want.
So find it in your heart,
To sail away.
Make a fresh start,
Things will be okay.
Evidence suggests
We've got a lot to learn about ourselves.
Before taking chances
On a strange romance that doesn't work so well.
I don't know what to think about you any more. And I am done with the days of feeling insecure.
So find it in your heart,
To sail away.
Make a fresh start,
Things will be okay.
