Should I give up? I think I’ve tried to get your love And I did, but is it enough? Wonder if I should just stop I need someone to lean on Someone to support Someone to get clean on Someone to get me through this world Why can’t we just get together With our dancing hearts No need to dance around it No need to stay apart Give in, we’re not alone It’s sometimes hard to see you roam While we could just get together And let our heart’s dance, all the way home A little too much Often way too few I’m craving your attention And I’m craving for something new Why can’t we just get together With our dancing hearts No need to dance around it No need to stay apart Give in, we’re not alone It’s sometimes hard to see you roam While we could just get together And let our heart’s dance, all the way home I know ‘cause I’ve lost it Way too many times I know what the cost is I know the cost is mine Why can’t we just get together With our dancing hearts No need to dance around it No need to stay apart Fall in, to my arms I know that it’s sometimes hard But it’s easy when we're together With our dancing hearts It’s sometimes hard to see you roam If only you knew, you’re not alone When we could just get together And let our heart’s dance, all the way home

Signs 03:07
It's a little past ten We're changing clothes and we're changing plans You can see that I am Staring you down in need of kisses again We love the rain inside Never out of touch, but never in sight Controlled by our pride You shouldn't fail the love that you know you can't hide Say what you want If it doesn't hurt it doesn't get the job done Say what you want I'd rather spell out the words and put it in a love song The wicked kids are back in town It leaves them nothing but a grin and a frown It leaves them nothing 'till the wave hits and you tumble down No duck dive can save you now Say what you want If it doesn't hurt it doesn't get the job done Say what you want I'd rather spell out the words and put it in a love song Say what you want The signs are hard to read and my love I need one A little conversation never hurt no one A little conversation never killed no one Come on So I'll say what you want If it doesn't hurt it doesn't get the job done Say what you want I'd rather spell out the words and put it in a love song Say what you want The signs are hard to read and my love I need one It's a little past ten We're taking off our clothes, we changed our plans You can feel that I am In need of sign that I am your man We let it rain inside We're drenched by the feeling, not trying to hide The singularity we both confide I kiss you and we turn of the light

Black Ink 03:44
There’s a black ink stain on my bed sheet It will fade, but never go There’s pain written inside our closet doors That only you and I know At first I tried to wash my sheets As thoroughly as I could Scrub away the text On the orange painted wood Seeing as it wouldn’t go I had to claim it to be mine Now I will say I love it so Hoping my mind will redefine Slowly it may fade But as vague as it remains As dark it’s written in my head Like the black ink on my bed Slowly it may fade But as vague as it remains Black ink stains It’s not that I want to get rid Of the past and the mistakes What if it stays forever though What if don’t reap what I sew Will I do whatever it takes To get you back To write more mania on my walls Spill more ink on my bed Try another call Slowly it may fade But as vague as it will stay As bright it’s written in my brain Like the writings it will remain Slowly it may fade But as vague as it remains Black ink stains Don’t wash your face, don’t wash your hands Cover the filth, with our wild romance Don’t wash your face, don’t wash your hands Cover the filth, with our wild romance Don’t wash your face, don’t wash your hands Cover the filth, with our wild romance Slowly it may fade But as vague as it remains As dark it’s written in my head Like the black ink on my bed Slowly it may fade But as vague as it remains Black ink stains

I heard your voice as a calling Chatter of birds and the morning was dawning You first, started the talking You first my dear Quite intoxicated you said This was the worst year that you'd had How did it turn out so bad How it hurts when it's bad And now your velvet touch it lingers In my head, still every day When I'm reaching out it stings her In every way It pours when it's raining down and I decided That it's raining now and it's harder than it looks Please don't blame me now Please don't blame me now Tried to forget, got lost instead Tried to walk, a different path Tried to dim the light you shed Oh how it hurts when it's bad And now your velvet touch it lingers In my heart, still every day When I'm reaching out it stings her In every way It pours when it's raining down and I decided That it's raining now and it's harder than it looks Don't blame me now you know I tried it So don't blame me now I feel sadder than I look Don't shame me now Don't shame me now And I feel, the same way as you And I feel, the agony too And I feel, what we've been through And I feel you It pours when it's raining down and I decided That it's raining now and it's harder than it looks It pours when it's raining down and I decided That it's raining now and it's harder than it looks Don't blame me now you know I tried it So don't blame me now I feel sadder than I look Don't shame me now Don't shame me now

Dalliance 03:39
I came home so drunk so drippy Wandering around I wonder if she Is still sad And regrets All the things she said I tried to get in to bed so messy And now I'm laying here well I bet she Moved on after so long She got into my head I feel the steering wheel slipping out my hands I feel the way I reel it's safer just to Safer just to stand Never thought I'd be so dependent Until I felt the failure where I went It hit hard left a scar My body it turned numb Don't know if I got sedated But the dalliance escalated It felt fine like cherry wine And all that's happened here remains in the night I woke up to a dream I guess Can't remember what we've said I can't remember what we've done Don't know how it all begun Now you lay here in my arms As you can see the sun arise I can't remember what we've done last night But it makes me feel alive Now it's slowly coming back The lovely things we said The moments that we shared The way you somehow cared Send all your love I'm trying to prepare But for the way I know We'll split and go But I I woke up to a dream I guess Can't remember what we've said I can't remember what we've done Don't know how it all begun Now you lay here in my arms As you can see the sun arise I can't remember what we've done last night But it makes me feel alive Oh it makes me feel Oh it makes me feel alive Feel alive I woke up to a dream I guess Can't remember what we've said I can't remember what we've done Don't know how it all begun Now you lay here in my arms As you can see the sun arise I can't remember what we've done last night But it makes me feel alive I woke up to a dream I guess Can't remember what we've said I can't remember what we've done Don't know how it all begun Now you lay here in my arms As you can see the sun arise I can't remember what we've done last night But it makes me feel alive I feel the steering wheel Slipping out my hands I feel the way I reel It's safer just to Safer just to Safer just to stand

Love 04:00
Love, we’re running out of time I can’t call you mine, no more It’s gone to waste Star, she said, you’re running out of hearts, to break Running out of worlds, to shake You better stay mine Now love had something for me But I started the end Then I went to force it as my only friend Love, I need a little time The shivers down my spine Tell me I need some space I’ll be leaving on my own Impressions of my home that used to be here, faded away I’ll be staring at the road Not knowing where to go, but I’d rather roam around than stay I’m no longer afraid Oh I, I hadn’t thought all That I would cry, be by your side and fall And I couldn’t even leave it unspoken Time would slowly drive me mad All this time your hearts ‘been open and It doesn’t even make sense I’ll be leaving on my own Impressions of my home that used to be here, faded away I’ll be staring at the road Not knowing where to go, but I’d rather roam around than stay I’m no longer afraid Love, we’re running out of time I can't call you mine, no more It's gone to waste Star, she said, you’re running out of hearts, to break Running out of worlds to shake Please stay mine But love, can’t you see I’m drowning here Can’t you see I’d rather disappear Than stick around

I’m relying on a wing and a prayer, though I don’t even have a faith There’s a trust that feels much greater, feelings that couldn’t fade Now it hit me so much harder, harder then I thought When you laid in somebody else’s arms, and I did not I live like a rolling stone, so they say I gather no moss Now you’re happy with another, and I’m stuck here in the grass How come we spoke so much about it, and everything that we did And now we’re crying and we're shouting, so I only want to say this I’m allowing you to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got I know you don’t need my permission, but I don’t have a lot And I don’t think that I can live with this, so I’ll just adjust the plot This way I’m allowing you to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got I won’t forget the times we were happy, but I lost myself in you I hope you’ll never replace or resent me, or think you were just a fool There’s an acceptance I can’t carry, for me it’s just too soon And now I lay here weak and weary, this is what I decide to do So I’m allowing you to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got Because I just can’t keep on wishing, a leopard cannot change its spots So I will just embrace the ending, so I can always love you a lot And so you’ll be free to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got It landed me so way too hard that you were in his arms tonight and that’s a thing that I can’t help So I’ll free me from myself Now I’m allowing you to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got I know you don’t need my permission, but I just need a shot A shot intended to kill the pain, maybe it’s just a train of thought I hope he’s ready for you to kiss him, with the Judas kiss you’ve got
