Save Me
From the album 2000
released 12/00

Lately
I’ve seen a hole across the sun
And I can’t get past the thought
That this is bigger than both of us
Maybe
If I decided to let you go
Can we get back to the days before
In the early November cold
Will I finally find an answer
Staring at the sky

Come on and save me
Save me from this mess
Come on and save me
Save me from myself

Lately
I want to tell you I’m not the same
And you have brought about a change
In the way I live today
Take me
To the place we used to hide
So I can know I really tried
To take a different road this time
Will I finally find my answer
Staring at the sun

So I’m not who you expected me to be
Is it so wrong to think your problem isn’t me?
So if we can’t see eye to eye
You’re doomed to fail unless you try
Why can’t you just admit you’re wrong
Your memories won’t keep you strong

Market Street
From the album 2000
released 12/00

Let’s stop for just a minute
My heart’s not really in it
I can’t remember why we’re fighting
And it doesn’t even matter now
You just gotta know

I’ll be these things
I’ve never been before tonight
And make things like they used to be
In our place on Market Street

Our words seem so damn useless
When no one wins or loses
And we pretend we didn’t hear them
And how we got here, I don’t know
Because just a year ago . . .

And it just can’t be the same
No matter how we try
But I won’t gve up on this love
Without a fight . . .

And it doesn’t even matter now
You just gotta know

Bodyshot
From the album 2000
released 12/00

Another Friday night, like any other night
And that’s when she arrived
And then she blew my mind
A little scared at first
Didn’t know what to do
And so we started off
With just a shot or two
All of the sudden - next thing I knew
She said “Here, let me show you what to do . . .”

She took the salt, the lime
Said “Lick it one more time”
Showed me how to do it
Opened my mind
I said “Okay - Alright”
“We’ll always have tonight”
Everything was moving
She got me hot
With a bodyshot

I want to feel it again

Believe
From the album 2000
released 12/00

I believe that in a dream I caught a glimpse of heaven
Sailing on the open seas, just you and I together
And I believe it can be that way
And everything we’ve ever done can be forgiven
I believe

I believe that everything that lives and breathes around us
Connects upon a higher plane than we have comprehended
And I believe we will know someday
And everything we’ve ever loved can live forever
I believe

Though at times we’re all deceived
Therein lies a stronger need

Just believe the sun will rise
Just believe in changing tides
Just believe I’ll be by your side
And I won’t give up
And I won’t be denied
I believe

I believe the sun will rise
I believe in changing tides
I believe we’ll be alright
I believe I’m living this life
It will be that way
I believe we’ll know someday
I believe

Believe that I need you

Be
From the album 2000
released 12/00

When I see you walk beside me
I can’t believe you’re really there
And I might forget, so you remind me
Where I’d probably be without you here inside me

I can be the one that saves the day
I can see the fire to light our way
I can dream, and in my dreams I hold you tight, all night
I feel you in my arms, and then you fade away…

There you are, out on your island
You look so close, but yet so far
If I thought that I could stand the silence
Would you let me come inside the place you are?

And I know I can’t stop change, it’s gonna come
Then I hear you say, “I can never stay”
And then you fade away…

I can be the one that saves the day
I can see the fire to light our way
I can dream, and in my dreams I hold you tight, all night
I feel you in my arms, and then you fade away…

I can be your reason for tomorrow
I can see an end to all this sorrow
I can dream, and in my dreams I hold you tight, all night
I feel you in my arms, and then you fade away…

I can be

Flight 19
From the album 2000
released 12/00

The way your touch stays with me
The way my eyes seek out your face
And though it might be risky
We crave a safer place
My God, It feels like ages
Since we found time to open up
And though the fire still rages
I’m not the giving-up kind

I will, I will
I’ll make this right again
We can’t go on
The way we’ve always been

Courageous may seem better
But this room’s much too dark to see
And if we stayed together
We’d make this Flight 19
Mayday! the speakers blasted
But no one cared to take the call
And though our journey lasted
We never left at all

And I will not be broken
And I will not be saved
And time will not wait for love

Without You
From the album 2000
released 12/00

I can’t believe what you do
And I’m so hung up on you
My feelings never show through
And it’s time you knew the truth

Without you in my life - nothing’s right
Without you by my side - I can’t survive
I can’t explain the way you make me feel
Without you here tonight
My life just isn’t real

All of the times I’m away
I never know what to say
You always say it’s okay
But inside I’m counting the days

I don’t know why I am calling out your name here in the middle of the night
And sometimes I want to tell you that I’m feeling so much inside

Just a Little Bit
From the album 2000
released 12/00

I can tell that you feel uncomfortable
Say the word if you want me to go
But I won’t deny that I’d rather stay
If you’d just admit that you feel the same way

I won’t be there - I’m not lying
If you’re not playing straight with me
If you want this - don’t deny it
Have a bit of reality

One by one we’re all killing time
Til the right one comes and you jump into line
When it seems your time is just running out
I’m a rope of truth in a world filled with doubt

So I held on strong
For much too long
While you played your game
But I never will again
No, not again ….

Captured
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

I feel the cold wind blowing stronger everyday
I should be listening when I don’t know what to say
I’m captured by your heart - captured by your spell
Captured by that feeling that I know so very well
Could it be, what I feel inside’s my heart just breaking
Could it be, the distant sound of love awakened

‘Cause I’m captured by the words
Captured by the truth
Captured by the memory of that night alone with you
Here I am - the one who’s always been there for you
Here I am - waiting for my chance to show you

If you want me, If you need me tonight
If there’s something not there in your life
If you’re lonely, girl, I’m feeling it, too
If you want me you know what to do

If I say it enough, will you start to believe?
If I offer my heart, are you ready to receive?
No, I can’t wait another day
I give my love - is that enough to make you stay?

Sometimes it just don’t seem enough
(Close my eyes and turn away)
I’ve waited so long for your love
(Baby, please don’t turn away)
No, babe, it just don’t seem enough
(I can’t wait another day)
I close my eyes and you just fade away

If you want me, If you need me tonight
If there’s something not there in your life
If you’re lonely, girl, I’m feeling it, too
If you want me you know what to do

Spirits
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

Can you understand what’s inside of me?
Is it real, or traces of what I used to be
Something so unreal
Something living, something dying

Inside of me
Something moving, something breathing
Inside - you’ll see
Something taking control of me

All my innocence has been stripped away
No shelter for me
Have I lost my grip on reality
Something hurting, something burning

Inside of me
Someone lying, someone dying
Inside of me
Someone crying, someone trying to face reality
(Because none of this is even real)
Learn the truth again
Someone tell me what it all means

Betrayed
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

Here I am, missing you again
As I wait for you to come home
Nobody’s here, to hear me crying
Has your world just passed us by?

I hear your voice, I hear you crying
As you’re lying here beside me
Are we miles apart inside?
Can we both escape our foolish pride?

And no one will ever love you more than I
I could say forever, but that would be a lie
I’ll be here beside you, through your darkest days
If someone could tell me why I’ve been betrayed

As time goes by I see more clearly
How everything we love is gone so quickly
And I have to wonder why
Are we born here just to die?

And no one will ever miss you more than I
And love lasts forever, that’s the biggest lie
Who’ll be here beside me through my darkest days
Just this stone reminder that you’ve been betrayed

And suddenly I feel like everything I’ve known is gone
And I don’t know why, I just close my eyes
For the pain, it’s always there
When your life’s too much to bear
And he’s lying there, you’re crying there
You’re dying there beside him

And suddenly I feel - all the pain will go in time
And still I know that letting go
Is the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do
And you’ll swear you made it through

When suddenly you’re betrayed

All Through the Night
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

I want you to love me
You barely even know me
But that won’t change the way I feel

I can’t speak - my tongue’s tied
I’m screaming on the inside
Sweet surrender - I fall under again

All through the night
All through the day
You are my light
Don’t go away

The moment our eyes met
I swear I’ll never forget
Help me baby, you can save me from myself

All through the night
All through the day
You are my light
Don’t go away

Walk Away
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

I close my eyes - you’re in my head
I can’t stop thinking about all those things you said
I should have known - it always ends up this way

Those nights alone - thinking about you
I’m sick and tired of being your fool
Comes down to this - I need an answer today
I gotta know for sure

I’d just turn and walk away before I’d hurt you
Is there nothing I can say to make you forget about the past
How can you force yourself to stay
Baby, turn and walk away

Time after time, I’ve dreamed about you
Night after night of being without you
Can’t take no more - I need an answer today
I gotta know for sure

I’d just turn and walk away before I’d hurt you
Is there nothing I can say to make you forget about the past
He never loved you anyway
Baby, turn and walk away

And I can almost feel you here with me sometimes
And there are moments when I swear I’ll find you
Waiting in the night

Wherever you go, I will be found
No matter how far the higher ground
Sometimes I can almost feel you here
Wherever you go, I will be there

Pandora’s Box
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

You - you just don’t have a clue
The way she’s playing you
You come off like her fool

I - I used to be that way
But when the music fades
You’re left with no one but yourself

Now she’s coming around with her jokes and her smiles
Always using the best of those feminine wiles
And you’ll promise the moon and the stars up above
And she’ll lie to your face when she tells you it’s love…

Hey, you - You don’t know what to do
You want her so damn bad
But you gotta keep your cool

Oh, man - It’s hard to understand
The way she’ll take control
And sure screw with your head

And you’ll find that there’s no one around you can trust
And she’s clouded your brain with a permanent lust
And then little by little she’ll tear you apart
Leave you walking around with a hole in your heart

I must be stone out of my head
And now she’s lying in my bed
I didn’t take my own advice
Guess lightning strikes the same place twice
I should know better, but I don’t
I saw her face - that’s all she wrote

Forever
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

I turned away when you needed me
I thought the fire would burn forever, you see
I’ve made mistakes, but you’ve always pulled me through
You stood by me, that’s why I’m standing by you

If I had shown you these feelings I felt inside
And if you would grant me just one more wish before you go
I’d only want you to love me
I only wish you’d love me
Only forever

I’ve felt the pain, I’ve seen the shame
I tried everything just to keep you here with me
And when you still turned away, I couldn’t believe my eyes
That everything we did is just a memory in your life

And why should I keep holding on to something that you let go
And if it’s so easy - then just take your heart and go
Because I’m the only one
I’m the only one who’ll love you forever

And when your heart bleeds
I’ll give you all you need
And I’ll be yours, because I’m the only one

And when you wake up, and you realize that I’m the only one
That’ll ever be your fool forever

And when your heart bleeds
I’ll give you all you need
And I’ll be yours forever

And when you’re lonely
You’ve got a friend in me
And I’ll be yours forever

And when you’re crying
I’m the one who’s dying
You know I’m still your fool
And I’ll be yours forever

L
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

I got your picture from a magazine
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen by far
You stole my aching heart

My head is spinning like I’m in a dream
That pretty face will be the death of me
Will you ever see?
I just don’t know

Wanting you close - needing you near me
Feeling your touch - I need you to hear me

Can’t you hear me crying
I think my heart is dying
I need you - I need you now

Cream Soda
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

One day I’m up, the next I’m down
You got my head spinning round and round
Too much confusion, no one to blame
No matter what you do, it’s all the same

But I guess I’m finding out
What this world’s all about

Look in the window - to your surprise
I know it’s not the way you fantasized
Just keep your faith, don’t lose your pride
Sometimes we all need a place to hide

And I feel it coming on
Feel it deep down in my soul
And the way I’m feeling
I won’t be lonely for long

I’m telling, telling you girl
That I’m lost inside your world
And I don’t want to go home

I don’t like this game you’re playing
And I don’t care what they’re saying
We could try to stop this feeling
But I’ll just keep right on believing

And I’m lost inside your world
(Tonight I’m feeling)
And I’m crazy for you, girl
(Tonight I’m giving)
You all you need, and everything you want, and more and more
Everything you’ve ever dreamed is coming true, just for you
Everything you want, and more and more

And maybe tonight things will go my way just one more time
And maybe I’m right - maybe inside you’ll know
Tonight I’m feeling

Laid Back
From the album Betrayed
released 9/95

Soft wind blowing through the trees
As they stare in disbelief
Those looks don’t mean a thing to me

I don’t want your sympathy
Because my one philosophy is
I just want to be left alone

I don’t want no luxuries
No high-priced legal fees
I just don’t need the finer things, no

I’ll make my own decisions
I don’t want your intervention
I just want to be left alone

It’s just the way that I feel
You don’t have to agree
Keep your opinions to yourself
And take your comments somewhere else

I’ve found my own way to get by
You live your life - I’ll live mine
So come on, baby, let’s not fight
Just lay back, enjoy the ride

You and I know what to do
We can make it if we muddle through
Wind’s blowing through the night
And we can get there, baby, side by side
Feel the magic in the night
So come on, baby, enjoy the ride

Chances
From the EP Fortune Cookie
released 10/92

Thinking back on all the days gone past
On all the times I let your love slip by
Here we are again
Thrown together by the wonder waiting in disguise

Yeah, you look so fine
I want to make you mine

Baby, I’ve been waiting all my life
Now it’s time that I should
I’m gonna take my chances, girl, tonight
And my chances are good

I just don’t know why I lose control
Everytime she walks into the room
Where’s my sense of pride?
If I only tried to show her all these things in me

Tonight’s the night
I’m gonna do it right

Baby, Ive been waiting all my life
Now it’s time that I should
I’m gonna take my chances, girl, tonight
And my chances are good

Baby, I’m tired of wasting time
I’m gonna lay my heart out on the line
Girl, you and me - we’re in too deep
There’s better ways of losing sleep…

Magic
From the EP Fortune Cookie
released 10/92

Look out - it hits you from behind
Like nothing ever before
Oh, no - They just put out the light
And now they’re closing the door

Mirror - what’s on the other side?
Can it be just the same?
Look out - because in a flash of light
You’re blinded by the feeling again

Illusion - comes from reality
But how were we to know
Dreaming - I’m lost in fantasy
And just about to lose control

And now I’m lost in time
(You know the feeling so well)
Like someone stole this heart of mine
(Looks like the magic is real)
I keep believing in you
That’s what the magic can do

Open Your Eyes
From the EP Fortune Cookie
released 10/92

Now - the time has come to make up our minds
With everything we have we still want more
I can’t believe what we’ve done
We’ve got to look with open eyes
Before the world around us crumbles to the floor

If that’s what we’ve become
Cold and blind and numb
And living for ourselves
When there’s just so much out there

Someday, someway - we’re gonna find out what went wrong
Somewhere out there - lies the answer to it all
Now that God has left us to take good care
We’ve got the power now
To set things right for now and ever more

All the seasons’ changes - all the beauty on this earth
All that man misplaces will be accounted for at birth

And every time we hurt her, somebody’s keeping score
Why can’t we stop the madness
Open your eyes, be free once more

We’ve got to open up (Open your eyes)
We can still learn to love (Open your eyes)
It’s not too late for us (Open your eyes)

Fortune Cookie
From the EP Fortune Cookie
released 10/92

Comes another night, comes another day
Take a look around
Man, ain’t nothing changed

See the face in the mirror
Can you stand what you see?
Does your road lead to nowhere?
Sure looks cloudy to me

Feeling time slip away
But I can’t believe that it’s gone
Without a trace

Ain’t no wonder we’re going under
How much more can the cradle take

I hope the rain don’t last
I think we’re fading fast
I’ve seen it come to pass

And I don’t want to feel this way again
Praying for the weather just to end
Maybe we can make it all work out
Discovering what “really” is really all about

Peering out from the doorway
Just can’t stand what I see
Hope the road leads to somewhere
Sure looks cloudy to me

Feeling time slip away
But I can’t believe that it’s gone
Without a trace

Don’t Give Up
From the single Don’t Give Up
released 6/91

In this life
The world just pulls your heart from side to side
But you never give in

How I tried
I kept my heart locked up so deep inside
Never letting anyone in

I see you
Crying how they’re trying to hold you down
But you never give in

Hey, girl
You broke down the wall I had around my heart
I’m so glad that you never gave up

Everybody tries to bring you down
Nail your feet right to the ground
But they’ll never make your spirit die

Don’t give up - when you’re all alone
I’m as far away as the telephone
Don’t give up - I’ll be by your side

Sometimes
I know it seems like no one knows that you’re alive
Oh baby, you know it ain’t true

We survived
Through all the hardships weathered in our lives
Baby, we’ll make it through this

There ain’t no mountain we can’t climb
Ain’t no anchor to hold us down this time
Hand in hand, standing side by side
Believe me when I say

Don’t give up - when you’re all alone
I’m as far away as the telephone
Don’t give up - I’ll be by your side

The Game
From the single Don’t Give Up
released 6/91

You got me burning, baby, every night
Keep on fanning the flames
But now you pull back and you say it ain’t right
Can’t take no more of this game

You pull me in, out - you’re wiring me up
I don’t know which way to go
You turn me on, off - you’re tearing me up
Feel like I’m gonna explode

Too much excitment gives me fever sky high
Then you just turn on the cold
My blood is boiling, you got ice in your veins
You got me flashing overload

You tell me yes, no - don’t put on a show
I guess it’s push come to shove
You get me high, bring me low
Then tell me no go
It’s just the game of love

Don’t keep me waiting on forever
You gotta believe it’s now or never
Don’t know if I can take any more of this game
