how can I see there is no light
I can't tell one from another
I think about one every night
and she asked me to come over this summer
but if she knew what I had planned
she'd walk to me and sit down on my lap
and hold and won't let get
I'd tell her things she might not want to know
this time I'm writing down exactly what I want
and if you want to get the story straight
then you have got to let me know
tell me if you want me, tell me if you hear me calling
tell me if you want me, I'm running out of years, you know
yell out if you want me, the silence now would kill me slowly
tell me if you want me

I'll Take My Only One
03:25
|

one down and many years to go
two steps, look up and find a place to sit down
one more time except now
the summer sweat's still sticking to my clothes
and to my back but what do I care
that's how it goes
I look around who do I know
then I turn back my head to see
was she familiar or was she going to be?
the next weeks we get along just great
we shared passions, mathed/laughed it up
but what can I say it was my time of day
the next week I stop before the door
as I feel my heart pound I ask myself
what is this for?
I had to stop myself and say, "be cool
just be yourself. you'll be okay."
but the reason why I got so scared
was that she got more beautiful every day
so here's to all the loves I've found
that make another song come out
I'll take my only one over them
I'll take my only one over them
a school girl crush that leaves you wanting more
I'll take my only one over them
to dreams fulfilled but used to fill a hole
I'll take my only one over them
to feeling close but never really knowing
I'll take my only one over them
to all the things I've yet to find
so as we finished our exams that day
I didn't wait for her - I walked away
and as the leaves began to fall and fade
as did my memories of those days
so now all I have left to say
is that she got more beautiful every day
and chelsea, all I have left to say
is that you got more beautiful every day

Should Have Kissed
04:03
|
|||
fall came around I was so new in town
I came when they asked me to
(what did I have to lose?)
I felt like a ghost to them
she found me, we worked inseparably
we talked for a while
(there was no awkward silence)
and then I felt something old
I should have kissed her on the dance floor
I should have kissed her on the dance floor
but I wanted to stretch things out
as long as I could
and I just wasn't ready to get over her
evening came, we got some food we drank
we took two hours and we made them ours
and then I danced with her
she had eyes full of times I was never a part of
like the kind that you find when you played in the yard
as a child then she's pulled from your life
like some old tragic play that we all have a part in
but I should have kissed her on the dance floor
and I should have kissed her on the dance floor
I should have kissed
because I knew before long I'd get over her
I should have kissed her on the dance floor

Spark
03:44
|
|||
Careful now, I'm ready to feel alive
letting go to all that I feel inside
Let's lose fear and never want it again
I'll be your friend
just slow down, no need to move so fast
let's just ease in
Drifiting out we feel with our fingers and toes
as it goes with the light racing forward
I want to stop - I look over you're with me
I won't leave you ever we're in this together so..
Let's lose fear and never want it again
I'll be your friend
Left behind, the jealous and doubtful
we'll have what they
always wanted but couldn't find
put walls up and closed down inside
they'll never chase their spark
it starts with a spark
and it ends with us both right here

Incomplete
04:22
|
|||
I've been waiting for you all this time
try my best to make up for our lost time
I told this to my friend and he said it was a dream
another break in the school routine
I got my friend to drive
we're both on pins and needles now
and we both know why
two months is too long to be spending without you
I arrive under a silver moon
my bag drops as I rush the door
our eyes meet from across the room, don't talk
don't talk - just hold
I knew if I waited and wished this would come true
I've been waiting for you all this time
try my best to make up for our lost time
I told this to my friend and he said it was a dream
but what could it mean?
to be without her would make me incomplete
Driving home on a winter road
we sing along to the radio
you smile at me when I miss a note
you would, you know
even though I'm alone I'll pretend you're here with me
I thought about calling you today
you know it won't be long
and when my friend sees you in my arms I'll prove him wrong
afraid I may be, but we're safer in my dreams
I've been waiting for you all this time
try my best to make up for our lost time
I told this to my friend and he said it as a dream
don't tell me it's a dream
to be without her would make me incomplete

Guess She Doesn't Know
03:59
|
|||
Guess she doesn't know how I need her
how I long for her and I
struggle when I'm not around her
but maybe I need this
maybe it's good for me and I
will find good in me and why
she might need me
And I know you said you had to be okay alone
before you find someone to love
but sometimes when I'm away from the one I chose
then I don't feel like going on
so as you're mine I am your everything
we are one life in different places at one time
there are no goodbyes, we are the air we breathe
the electricity that powers me to life
I've arrived at a new place
I swear to you I've changed
I've turned over a new pile of leaves
I shut the windows locked the doors
I've looked through every shelf and drawer
I know I won't disappoint you this time
so girl, you are my everything
we are one life in different places at one time
there are no goodbyes, we are the air we breathe
the electricity that powers me to life
we broke our hearts from telling lies
(we broke our hearts)
we cursed the spark in both our eyes
(cursed the spark)
we locked down every open door
(every open door)
we said in time we said we'd make it work
(we'll make it work)
redemption for the time it took
(the time it took)
are we both wanting something more?
but I know you said you had to be okay alone
before you find someone to love
but sometimes when I'm away from the one I chose
then I don't feel like going on
so as you're mine I am your everything
we are one life in different places at one time
there are no goodbyes, we are the air we breathe
the electricity that powers me to life

Cover
02:58

Jealousy is a bitch and that's all I can say
try not to think about as I go about my day
but when I've got a girl like you
I know that other boys can see it too
we went to the city just the other night
went to that record store you said that you liked
that dude with sleeves was pushing stock
and I know that you both like to talk
First I judged you by your cover
now I'd never want another
sometimes you take a risk
there's no predicting this at all
He's got tats and lots of piercings
but my girl she sees past these things
she knows what she's got
you don't need ornaments to rock
so let me tell you 'bout this new song that he's got out
I had to hear him live to see what it was about
he may rock harder than granite but no one could understand it
cuz he was screaming so loud
First I judged you by your cover
now I'd never want another
sometimes you take a risk
there's no predicting this at all
He's got fans that throw him g-strings
I've got fans since 2003
we know what we've got
we don't need ornaments to rock
I hear your ringtone, your phone's within my sight
I wanna check it but I don't think it would be right
I know your passcode but I don't need to know
'cuz you'll be with me 'til I'm singing all my last notes
first I judged you by your cover
now I'd never want another
sometimes you take a risk
there's no predicting this at all
never thought I'd be so lucky
I love you I know you love me
I'll think of this song when I worry
we'll have a house and kids but there's no hurry
tell me sweetheart, anything for you

We Were Just Posers
02:33
|
|||
my life's not a path just an example of existence
just one of 6 billion others
and I can't see anything when my eyes are closed
and I don't claim to know anything that nobody else knows
there are fifty-thousand different ways to make things right
and a million other ways to describe them
but no one's trying anymore to write another metaphor
they just keep saying the same things over and over
one thought for one second, too long ago to mention
don't find it worth my time at all
we fucked up and moved on, I'm sure you're still a moron
some time I might give you a call
one thought for one second, too long ago to mention
don't find it worth my time at all
the time's passed, it's over. we were just fucking posers.
the time's passed, it's over. we were just fucking posers.

I Have a Bike

I have a bike and
I think you'll like it
let's get excited and hang out
I have some new friends
I'll go outside and
they're all invited to hang out
so take a year to get inspired
come back with guts and eyes of fire
point out the fakes and all the liars
let's visit grade school
hang out on the rooftops
let the dew soak into our backs
and relax right here
we'll talk about the old times
while we fill our eyes with night sky
blue and red lights flash on the slide
let's get out
so take a year to get inspired
come back with guts and eyes of fire
point out the fakes and all the liars
is it monday night or is it tuesday night?
if I sleep a little longer will it be alright?
I won't see straight 'til the beeps wake me up
Work all day while I'm out on the road
then I drive all night just to get back home
I'll stay up late I guess sleep can wait again
so take a year to get inspired
come back with guts and eyes of fire
point out the fakes and all the liars
so take a year to get inspired
come back with guts and eyes of fire
point out the fakes and all the liars
I took a year to get inspired I
came back with guts and eyes of fire and now I
point out the fakes and all the liars
I have bike and I think you'll like it
let's get excited and hang out
