I’ve been missing the sun
And the nights spent burning
I’ve been missing each of you
Growing up is hard to do
Now we’ve all got our debts to pay
And there’s no room left for us to play
‘Cause they only want something new
Growing up is hard to do
Last night I heard a song
In my sleep now it’s long gone
I don’t recall the words or tune
Growing up is hard to do
Don’t recall the last breath I drew
Growing up is hard
Growing up is hard
Growing up is hard to do

Heartless Kisses
04:03
|

There’s little left to offer
We’re caught on the edge of love
The truth may knock us over
But pretending just ain’t enough
We started off like a rocket
Burning hot and high
While charging all the others
With simply floating by, on
Heartless kisses
They warned us with their laugher
I guess their right it seems
Everything was cool ‘til
We got stuck in between, those
Heartless kisses
I don’t know what happened
We lived in every moment now life keeps passing us by
Please tell me there’s a future
With something more to love, other than
Heartless kisses
They ain’t enough

I’m learning to love loneliness
It’s like an old wooden door that always sticks
I can count on it with every kick
It will always open for me
I’m learning to love loneliness
Each passing day I miss you less and less
Everybody says that time will heal every wound
But I’m not yet sure
Now I’m learning that life is full of tests
Full of questions with no simple guesses
Locked doors and pretty fences
That may never open for me
Well I’m learning to love loneliness
Each passing day I miss you less and less
Everybody says that time will heal every wound
But I’m not yet sure that it’s true
It’s been so hard to get over you
But I’m trying to hang on the mundane to see me through
I’m learning to love loneliness
Each passing day I miss you less and less
Everybody says that time will heal every wound
But I’m not yet sure that it’s true
I’m a mess
But I’m learning to love loneliness

Baby, I’m So Over You
03:28
|
|||
I picked up the phone today like I’ve done before
I dialed your number a hundred times or more
I never let that call go through
‘Cause baby I’m so over
I wrote you a letter though I ain’t sure what for
I threw it in the trash then I wrote you a hundred more
I’ll probably trash all those too
‘Cause baby I’m so over
Please won’t you release me
You’ve got me oh so confused
One moment I want you madly
The next I’m so over, baby I’m so over you
Should you find me baby pacing back and forth
Know I’m going crazy now crazy’s at your door
I won’t knock yeah I’m no fool
‘Cause baby I’m so over, baby I’m so over
Please won’t you release me
You’ve got me oh so confused
One moment I want you madly
The next I’m so over, baby I’m so over you
Baby I’m so over, baby being over, baby I’m so over you

Stranger
02:47
|

I’m just a stranger in this place
A one in a million lonely face
What distinguishes me in this race
Is it being numbered or the things I embrace
Well it’s a strained life I lead
As I’m always in between
Running away and walking tall for you
It’s a narrow gate indeed
But still I believe
That I am just a stranger without you
I‘m just a stranger in this land
With a one-in-a-million losing hand
What distinguishes me from the righteous man
Is it peace of mind or my foolish plans
Well it’s a strained life I lead
As I’m always in between
Running away and walking tall for you
It’s a narrow gate indeed
But still I believe
That I am just a stranger without you

Are We Running
03:56

he sun is rising the sky is clear
Been awfully gray and cloudy ‘round here
Dry your eyes and let it go
Here he comes with the deed in hand
Toss him the keys let him walk right in
Don’t look back leave the bags let’s go
C’mon baby can you blame me
There’s got to be something better
If we don’t feel the wind blow
Then how will we know
There’s nothing better around
Go on roll the window down
Let your long hair blow around
It don’t matter what people think
We’ve been living for way too long
To the rhythm of someone else’s song
It’s time for us to break free
C’mon baby can you blame me
There’s got to be something better
If we don’t feel the wind blow
Then how will we know
There’s nothing better around
So are we running now
Been so long since we left that place
And the limits of time and space
But we ain’t free just yet you know
There’s a stone that’s deep inside
Trying hard to beat alive
And it ain’t gonna break itself
C’mon baby can you blame me
There’s got to be something better
If we don’t feel the wind blow
Then how will we know
There’s nothing better around
So are we running now

One Kiss at a Time
03:37
|
|||
Abandonment then cigarettes
And other things to help you forget
‘Cause wishing wells and steeple bells don’t work
Caught in a cloud of criticism
You wake from a dream you’ve been living in
Only to find you smell of the vine you thirst
Don’t you know that you’re worth more
Than the sum of your
Oh the sum of your curves
Some have grown while you’ve grown old
Though others have been torn from the fold
It’s time to forgive time to let yourself go
Time to flush the demons down
In the name of the father who wasn’t around
Then emerge from the water and see the beauty you are
Don’t you know that you’re worth more
Than the sum of your
Oh the sum of your curves
Some will put up a fight
And some may go devout
No one’s immune to flight
While working salvation out
Don’t you know that you’re worth more
Than the sum of your
Oh the sum of your curves

I'll Be Waiting
02:44
|
|||
On a bed dressed in white
Under the moon’s phasing light
I’ll be waiting for you
In a room softly aglow
With the television low
I’ll be waiting for you
I’ll be waiting
‘Til the timing’s right
I’ll be waiting
For that kiss goodnight
Within the walls of a home
Where no one should feel alone
I’ll be waiting for you
I’ll be waiting
‘Til the timing’s right
I’ll be waiting
For that kiss goodnight
In the quiet place inside
Where the heart learns to hide
I’ll be waiting for you

This Time of Year
04:08
|
|||
Winter has gone
Trees awake but they are still bare
Children making their way out
Mix laughter with new spring air
There’s something very lonely
Something’s just not right
Something very lonely
This time of year
Warmed by a drink from the sun
In its crisp sugary sky
Blue washed above us
Should bring the color back to our eyes
There’s something very lonely
Something’s just not right
Something very lonely
This time of year
As we sit and talk with our eyes locked fixed on the glare
The cloudy clock with its tick and tock reminds us we’re going nowhere
To answer your question
I know how you feel
But I don’t know just how to say it
It’s like a wound that just won’t heal
There’s something very lonely
Something’s just not right
Something very lonely
This time of year

Beyond the Fence

Walk to the fence my love
And climb higher than us
Please try and see
If there’s anything for you and me
Beyond the fence my love
