listen to the mp3
i wrote a song, it starts off ‘i love you’
but i don’t know who to send it to
i’ve always traded my heart away
to anyone who promised to stay
but they never do, they leave me alone
with a blaring tv and a silent phone
i make excuses like paper airplanes
they don’t really work, they just drift away
does everyone face these these fears?
walk around hiding their tears?
is life really what we make it?
can i fake it?
they want to see smiles, and i should pretend
after all, the truth is a hurtful friend
if you make me laugh, you make me glad
but i can’t fix you when your sad
is there some place for those who still care
who feel the pain of others despair
for those who wait for love’s sweet glow
to find them, hold them let them know…

listen to the mp3
the evening raced to midnight
now you sense each second pass
an awkward cough, an “i should go”
i goodbye on the grass
talelights fade behind the bend
you know this day is done
the lights are off, the door is locked
you don’t pick up the fun
it’s cluttered on the floor
like some old memory
you’ll clean up in the morning
for tonight just leave it be
lay your head down, drift to dream
stay anchored on the night
the words, the tone, the meaning
she will, she won’t …she might
did you make a fool of love
could see what you pretend
is this feeling finally real
or just another friend?

you’ll have to try harder to hold me
i’m getting better at running away
i cannot see how it all works out
i don’t believe a thing that you say
if i am special, then i’m rare
and that makes me harder to find
but i’ve been picked up and put down
i have been left behind
tell me something that i know to be true
say i’m broken and i don’t know what to do
i want to believe you
so tell me what’s wrong…..with me
like old Rip Van, i’m up and confused
i feel a hope that beaten and bruised
still i slip it on with a big grin
no matter what i’m holding in
you would shoot in like the sunshine
you’d convince me to see everything bright
now it’s a fake, tired old line
your more of a flourescent light

listen to mp3
i want to cry on your shoulder
and tell you about my day
i want you to hold me
and say “everything’s ok!”
but i can’t do that anymore
in 5 minutes over phonelines
these days i only get
time enough to say goodbye
and i don’t have anything new for you
i’m just calling to hear your voice
you’re sunshine to these shadows
and i have no choice but to miss you
the days grow shorter, the skies grow grey
the sun never seemed to so far away
and i heard rumors that you were crying
but if i asked, you wouldn’t say
i’d love for you to bring me down
and tell me why you cry
let me try to change your mind
i want to dry your eyes

i whispered for you this afternoon
i handed a prayer to eager hands
God held it to His ear
smiled, and sent His angels
clouds broke open and showered down
but sunshine found your frown
all the while i thought of you
life will turn around
i’m here for you
no matter what you do
but i can’t fix you
but i can’t fix you
you walk in darkness in search of light
i saw you stumbling, afraid
trusting lies that hold your hand
leading you out of the promised land
so i am a sympathetic ear
telling you what you don’t want to hear
you are lost, yes you’re alone
but there’s no reason to fear
