Only One For Me

5:00 am, yeah you caught me at a bad time
Once again, I'm feeling like I wanna die
You don't think that it was something
And I feel it was everything
But when all is said and done
I'm still waiting, give me a sign

Please don't
Don't try, don't try to fight it
Please don't
Don't try, try to deny it now

In the rain, I'm feeling like the lonely guy
Break the chains
Well I know that I gotta try
It's a secret I've been keeping
Just can't hold it anymore
Well I have to tell you once
What I got in store

Please don't
Don't try, don't try to fight it
Please don't
Don't try, try to deny it

When I'm near you
I feel so high
My heart belongs to you
I'm asking you to feed my pride

And if you won't
Don't expect me to rollover
I'm not the guy
The guy that gives up easy on

Yeah there's things that I've been taught
And yes, there's songs I've been writing
It's just every time I see you
Yea, The feelings more exciting

You, yes you, you are the only one for me
I've been showing you all the signs
Please don't refuse to see
You're the girl that I've been living for
And I'm not trying to hide it
And I know that you've been doing your best to fight it now

Please don't fight it now
'Cause you're the only one for me

Please don't
Don't try, don't try to fight it
Please don't
Don't try, try to deny it

Am I the only one who sees
That you're the only one for me
The only one for me
The only one for me
The only one for me
Am I the only one who sees

Heartache

Walking your tight rope
It's too late to come down
I've burned all my bridges
They're just ashes on the ground

Got a one way ticket
With no return fare
I'm coming in for a landing
Hope to find your runway there

It's been a hard pill to swallow
It's been a hard pill to take
But I would down me the whole bottle
If I thought I could lose this heartache
This heartache

In the middle of your ocean
And there is no land in sight
I'm going down for the third time
Won't you please drop me a line

I woke up on your island
And there is nothing here but sand
I'm in need of a rescue
Won't you please give me your hand

It's been a hard pill to swallow
It's been a hard pill to take
But I would down me the whole bottle
If I thought I could lose this heartache
This heartache

It's Not Happening For Me

If I let you know what would you say
Would you laugh at me and then just run away
If I got the nerve to look you in the eye
Would I see you smile or would I see you cry

'Cause every night I lie awake
Just dreaming in my head
I hold you close, I feel your breathe
We're sharing the same bed

But I, I don't see this happening
It's not happening for me

My secret's safe, but that's not what I need
Got these words in my head and I can hardly breathe
And as the world turns and time slips away
I don't want to regret the thins that I didn't say

'Cause every night I lie awake
Just dreaming in my head
I hold you close, I feel your breathe
We're sharing the same bed

But I, I don't see this happening
It's not happening for me

Take it down

If I let you know what would you say
If I let you know would you run away
If I let you know
How I really feel

One Horse Town

I think it is time I stopped running this race
It takes some time when you've been slapped in the face
I'll stay away, I won't call
But I'll still be around
To pick you up when you fall
So you don't hit the ground

'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town
You can pick me up when I am feeling down
'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town for me

Everything changed but my feelings stayed the same
Kept them to myself, guess I am the only one to blame
Looking back I was such a fool
To throw it all away
But in my heart I always knew we'd meet up again someday

'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town
You can pick me up when I am feeling down
'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town for me

So don't be sad 'cause you're the best I've ever had
So don't be sad for me

No I can see what's perfectly clear
Want to spend my life with you
So you don't have to fear
Can't stay away, I have to call
I'll always be around
To catch you when you fall
So you don't hit the ground

'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town
You can pick me up when I am feeling down
'Cause you're the only girl in this one horse town for me

So don't feel sad for me
Don't feel sad for me

Favourite Waste Of Time

This all started long ago
When the seeds you planted they began to grow
Now I try to fill up empty days
Without you around I am in a purple haze

All my friends just say forget her
She'll just spin your wheels don't let her
But love is not always kind
Let me in I'll fix what is broken
I'm not leavin' 'cause I know that one day you'll be mine

But until then you're my favourite waste of time
My favourite waste of time

She loves me, she loves me not
You used to tell me that you did, have you forgot
Gonna buy myself a crystal ball
Then I'll know just when the time is right and when to call

All my friends just say forget her
She'll just spin your wheels don't let her
But love is not always kind
Let me in I'll fix what is broken
I'm not leavin' 'cause I know that one day you'll be mine

But until then you're my favourite waste of time
My favourite waste of time
And it is time well wasted
Time you're my favourite waste of time

Go after the life you choose
Cause if you don't you'll surely lose
Time starts slow and then moves fast
Don't let this moment pass

But until then you're my favourite waste of time
My favourite waste of time
And it is time well wasted
Time you're my favourite waste of time

That's What I Want

I've seen the truth
I don't like what I see
I've looked in a thousand faces
That don't look back at me
That's what I want from you

I've been with you
And I've been without
If there was ever a question
Now there is no doubt

This time I am not second-guessing
You think you've been wrong before
I know just what I am missing
I am asking you for one more chance

Like it or not
Like it or not
Like it or not
That is what I want
From you
What is what I want
From you

Some time has past
And I still feel the same
This combination is something
I will never find again

This time I am not second-guessing
You think you've been wrong before
I know just what I am missing
I am asking you for one more chance

Like it or not
Like it or not
Like it or not
That is what I want
From you
What is what I want
From you
That is what I want
From you
What is what I want
From you

'Cause I don't want to sleep alone no more
No I don't want to sleep alone no more
Don't leave me standing in the rain
'Cause I want you and I need you back again

Under Your Spell

The last kiss you gave me
That is when I fell
There was no way to fight it
And there was no way to tell
It's not like black magic
It's more like heaven above
Or an endless summers night
Just wishing on stars above

Double double, toil and trouble

I'm under your spell
I'm under your spell

As you may have noticed
I'm not quite myself
I've never felt these feelings before
And I think I could use some help
I've tried the doctors
And I have tried the drink
Spent some time with some other girls
And they only make me think
How much I miss you

Double double, toil and trouble

I'm under your spell
I'm under your spell

Spell, I'm under your spell
Spell, I'm under your spell

I don't think
That this feeling's gonna change
I feel it growing stronger every day

The last kiss you gave me
That's when I fell
The last kiss you gave me
The last kiss you gave me
I'm under your spell
I'm under your spell
Double double, toil and trouble

Draw A Line In The Sand

Gotta stop lying to myself
You haven't said a word
But it is loud and clear
It's time I learned to face the truth
Even if it means facing my fears

I'm gonna draw a line in the sand
And I won't cross it if I can
Stop myself from giving in
And stop myself from remembering

I know I shouldn't make the call
I only end up bouncing off the walls
I'll stay away 'cause all I get is hurt
And everything that comes from feeling like dirt

I'm gonna draw a line in the sand
And I won't cross it if I can
Stop myself from giving in
And stop myself from remembering

When there was a time
When you were mine
When you were mine
Everything was fine

There is a piece of you in every song I write
But that won't help me get through tonight

I'm gonna draw a line in the sand
And I won't cross it if I can
Stop myself from giving in
And stop myself from remembering

It's not easy to do
But I'll get through
Without you

How Can You Blame Me

This old heart has been asking questions
When you come around ti seems to skip a beat
I never had any trouble walking away
But girl you really knocked me off my feet

I don't need Mona Lisa
And Cleopatra's just not my style
Take a look in the mirror and you'll see
Who I'm in love with
How can you blame me

Spend too much time thinking about yesterday
And all the tomorrows that may never be
You're the missing piece of this puzzle of mine
How long is it going to take for you to see

I don't need Mona Lisa
And Cleopatra's just not my style
Take a look in the mirror and you'll see
Who I'm in love with
How can you blame me

When mountains crumble into the sea
There will still be you and me
I've always known you can't fight what is right
And that means you and me together every night

I don't need Mona Lisa
And Cleopatra's just not my style
Take a look in the mirror and you'll see
Who I'm in love with
How can you blame me

Yes I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
How can you blame me
I'm in love with you

1985

Well it was 1985
I never felt so alive
But this boy just couldn't be c aged
I was only acting my age

While my folks were up at the lake
In my room I tried to make
Love to you
But you said it was too soon

When you walked away I was strong
Didn't think you'd be gone long
Well I didn't have a clue
Someone else had their eye on you

Now I still got my friends and my time
Most summer nights you still cross my mind
Sing old songs and I play my guitar
And when the morning breaks I look to the stars

When you walked away I was strong
Didn't think you'd be gone long
Well I didn't have a clue
Someone else had their eye on you

It's Only Time

I’ve seen the future, forget the past
Cause something real is here at last
Don’t try to fight it, that’s no good
Just pretend, if you think you should

You can’t just walk away
It's only time that stands in our way
So I’ll wait

Another check mark, on another day
The only way that I can pass the time away
It’s getting closer, I’ll hold my breath
I’m not a gambler, but I would bet

You can’t just walk away
It's only time that stands in our way
I know you're not ok
It's only time that stands in our way

Step outside eyes open wide
The years are gone before you know it
And be aware that life’s not fair
You get one shot so don’t you blow it

You can’t just walk away
It's only time that stands in our way

Some Kind Of Magic

What you have is some kind of magic
You used it on me and the results were quite tragic
Now I am here to remind you
'Cause you put this whole thing behind you

And what you left me
Was an empty apartment
And a cold double bed
That you've broke my heart in
Now I try to avoid it
'Cause you, you nearly destroyed it

I come from a long line
To find all that glitters doesn't shine
I come from a long line
To find out

What you did
You got yourself a new boyfriend
I saw you in that dress
That one you used on me

Now I can't pretend that I am choked up
'Cause I, I finally woke up
To what you did
To what you did

I come from a long line
To find all that glitters doesn't shine
I come from a long line
To find out

What you did

Your weekend with your colleagues
Didn't turn out like you planned
So you grabbed a piece of something
Just grab a piece of something

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But you will never hurt me again
