Wait For You

I dreamed that I was all alone
And the road that I'd been walking on
Was hard, but then it took me home
Then I awoke, and you were gone
The curtains shivered in the wind
And shadows danced upon the floor
I knew it wasn't I who'd sinned,
At least it wasn't anymore
'Cause every moment,
Every hour, any day
A love can sour
And yes, what once was gold
Can fade to blue
'Til there's nothing else to do
But wait for you.
So the weed of doubt began to grow
In the time before the storm
We can only live by what we know
The knowledge that will keep us warm
The feelings are the first to go
Then everything you think you know
So this is my only advice
Love doesn't come without a price
'Cause every moment,
Every hour, any day
A love can sour
And yes, what once was gold
Can fade to blue
'Til there's nothing else to do
But wait for you
Stuck inside, where something died
The stench cannot be borne
'Cause everything is just a lie
A fabric that's been torn to pieces
'Cause every moment,
Every hour, any day
A love can sour
And yes, what once was gold
Can fade to blue
'Til there's nothing else to do
Oh,
Every moment,
Every hour, any day
A love can sour
And yes, what once was gold
Can fade to blue
'Til there's nothing else to do
But wait for you

Walk Away
02:53

When I was young, I saw your face
And everything was put in place
And I won't bite, no I won't sting
I'll listen to what you might have to say
But don't you walk away
Well we'd be walking through the town
I would not let your worries get you down
And no one cared how far we'd stray
Those city lights were there to show our way
We'd stay out every day
And every time I think of you
I feel afraid
Afraid for you to leave behind
The life we made
Well I'm older now, but you're still young
The space between us widens
But I still don't bite, I still don't sting
These arms are open wide, and they are waiting
Just listen to the heart inside
The one that doesn't speak of pride
Still loves me anyway
So don't you walk away
Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away

You Don't Know Me
02:57

I waited for the sun
It didn't ever come
I waited for the rain
To wash away my pain
I waited for the sky
To look me in the eye
But you left and slammed the door
Now I don't wait no more
You're talkin to me, talkin to me
You're such a waste of time and energy
You would never see, never would see
You know a lot of things
But you don't know me
Well once upon a time
We had a lovely life
But some things turn on a dime
And we'd start to fuss and fight
Well once in a while
I get to feeling sad
I still can see your smile
I don't know how it got so bad
You're talkin to me, talkin to me
You're such a waste of time and energy
You would never see, never would see
You know a lot of things
But you don't know me
Well I still miss those days
Before you went away
You left me in such a haze
Where there's smoke
There's also fire
Well you burned me up
And you burned me down
Til I clean went out
Screamed and shouted
'Cause you never heard
A single word
I ever tried to say, hey
You're talkin to me, talkin to me
You're such a waste of time and energy
You would never see, never would see
You know a lot of things, yeah
You're talkin to me, talkin to me
You're such a waste of time and energy
You would never see, never would see
You know a lot of things, baby
You know a lot of things
You know a lot of things
But you don't know me
You don't know me

When Love Is Not Enough
04:40

When love is not enough
A world that seemed so wide
Becomes a little smaller
When you're always stuck inside
When love is not enough
And life is just a game
That isn't even fun to play
And it's really such a shame
When love is like a knot
That you thought you'd tied before
And it all just comes undone
Then you don't need it anymore
Remember when
It used to be so nice?
It was summer then
We knew not of the winter
But then our world
Was slowly turned to ice
And all our hopes and dreams
Were torn to cinders
When love was not enough
When love is not enough
You build yourself a wall
And don't go asking why
It got so high
When there's no one left at all
When love is not enough
And everything you had
Has burned a hole inside your soul
And it really is too bad
\When love is like a firework
It burns and then goes out
A life that's brief and glorious
And then you're filled with doubt
Remember when
It used to be so nice?
It was summer then
We knew not of the winter
But then our world
Was slowly turned to ice
And all our hopes and dreams
Were torn to cinders
When love was not enough
Whole years go down the drain
While old fears, like rain they fall
And kind words can't hide the pain
That comes to call
When love is not enough
A world that seems so wide
Becomes a little smaller
When you're always stuck inside
Remember when
It used to be so nice?
It was summer then
We knew not of the winter
But then our world
Was slowly turned to ice
And all our hopes and dreams
Were torn to cinders
When love was not enough
When love was not enough
When love was not enough

Just Add Water
02:22

You know the seeds can't grow without the light
Just add a little water, it'll be alright
Seems every day is just another fight
Wish that I could sleep at night
So I just lie awake
All night long
Is there something you can give me
In exchange for a song?
It feels so empty
And it feels so wrong
I'm holding on to something that is gone
You know the plants can't grow without the rain
And I can't heal without the pain
I'm scrubbing off a nasty stain
The one you left upon my brain
And I can't pretend
That I am strong
Strong enough to live without you
For this long
There must be a mistake
It must all be wrong
I just wanna hold you, but you're gone
You know the seeds can't grow without the light
Just add a little water, it'll be alright
If I can just whistle through the night
All my troubles will be out of sigh
Oh,
Just add a little water, it'll be alright
Add a little water, it'll be alright

This Road
03:49

Come on, pull up a chair
Speak what's on your mind
The world has been unfair, and life unkind
All we have is now
We don't need before
But the furrows in your brow
Show that you carry so much more
Now hold your head up high
The truth's a heavy load
We all can fall or fly
As we wander down this road
Wander down this road
The nights are longer now
The dreams don't seem to come no more
And the light still finds its way
Through the space between your door
For years you tried to dissapear
And you almost succeeded
But now we know what happened here
It was love that you needed
Now hold your head up high
The truth's a heavy load
We all can fall or fly
As we wander down this road
Wander down this road
