Butterfly 04:26
lyrics

She sums it up in a tattoo, what she sees when she closes her eyes Scattered circles on her wrist represent a calmness in her life She fills a jar with notes about love and joy and all the things she wants She says one half's belief and the other is staying strong I tell her that I'm insecure she laughs just to reassure I'm not alone I think about the words I said, think about the words I will regret She holds my hand says "Listen, breathe and come back to me" I'll be here for a moment, then drift into my memory Butterfly, you will die Sing this song and be happy Colorblind, you're the light But you don't see nothing Listen man you're a lot like me back when I was 23 and young Fall in love too easily get caught up in some fantasy bout' us Well I'm not here for dreaming so tell me what you're thinking, please don't run Tell me what you're feeling, come on, let out those feelings and let's carry on Butterfly, you will die Sing this song and be happy Colorblind, you're the light But you don't see nothing I've got so much to learn This goodbye really hurts But I know that once I'm out the door I control my own world Doesn't mean I won't be missing yours Maybe we don't understand, maybe we're not meant to at all We can try to define, 'what is love?' but it's just a waste of time It's a magical connection, hidden deep in your eyes A million different colors like a rainbow melting into the sky Butterfly, you're alive Sing this song and be happy You're not blind, open your eyes This life's meant for living...

Finding out my reasons for why I'm acting strange I thought this love was over but she writes me every day I thought the world was simple, then I went insane I come to these conclusions, then turn around again And still I try to decide my fate I don't know who I wanna be I'm stuck in space With no oxygen tank I can't relate to the things that all the people say I'll never change to who It is I wanna be I wanna be me Sorry not for speaking I'm not feeling calm These words have got some meaning, I don't want to speak wrong I'm sitting with my family, I'm the youngest one They say I'm at the age to figure out who to become And still I try to decide my fate I don't know who I wanna be I'm stuck in space With no oxygen tank I can't relate to the things that all the people say I'll never change to who It is I wanna be I wanna be me I'm just sinking in my bed Clenching my fists my eyes feel heavy I wonder what it's like to be dead I worry that no body loves me... I'm waiting for love It don't make me feel better to know that we're all lost The president the preacher, they'll pretend at all costs I'll be singing songs till my wrinkles tell my story in brail I'm gonna keep on searching though I'm quite sure I'll fail And still I try to decide my fate I don't know who I wanna be I'm stuck in space With no oxygen tank I can't relate to the things that all the people say I'll never change to who It is I wanna be I wanna be me credi

Missing the green trees and mountains and ocean Pretty girls with brown hair Some said I'd change when I saw new horizons But my world's stayed the same I'll only talk when my heart she tells me I'll only write when I'm down or loving And I, would talk with you all night From San Francisco all the way to Timbuktu To crazy rat races for money in a pool To the driest of days without any rain Oh I, was drowning in the Bay Is it so selfish to want a life with choices To be loved by my dreams I'm making plans for the times thats commencing Plans never empty, only dumb Because I'm only twenty and I'm thinking plenty What I've learned? How to cry, their dying They're all, trying to sing From San Francisco all the way to Timbuktu To crazy rat races for money in a pool To the driest of days without any rain Oh I, was drowning in the Bay I met a man, sung a song he was blind Tapped his foot, one, two, three "The only world I know's the world I make up The rest make believe There are three things that I need to be happy: A purpose a wife, and I forgot the other, we'll say, the other's a dream" From San Francisco all the way to Timbuktu To crazy rat races for money in a pool To the driest of days without any rain Oh I, was drowning in the Bay

In Another Life 05:13

Different stages, different pages in the book I'm going to new places and I am feeling faithless And I'm too scared to look Gemma this letter I wrote when I got home From the moment I met you I felt something special Saw a rope tie up our souls A rare type of connection with no need for explanation - just love In another life we walked side by side And held each other tight We watched the sky and the moonlight cry I preferred your eyes and a smile We were young and this was love We knew that we could be happy if we wanted And ain't it nice to think of us in another life We talked all night about everything and nothing at all Our hearts were open singing songs with oceans Wondering what would it take to fall Maybe a kiss or just a sign that you understand my mind In another life we walked side by side And held each other tight We watched the sky and the moonlight cry I preferred your eyes and a smile We were young and this was love We knew that we could be happy if we wanted and ain't it nice to think of us in another life If we exist, then this love exists If this is it, then you'll be missed And I do believe this is a dream And reality is waiting across the sea And we are married... In another life we walked side by side And held each other tight We watched the sky and the moonlight cry I preferred your eyes and a smile We were young and this was love We knew that we could be happy if we wanted and ain't it nice to think of us in another life

Summertime has made me blind I'm falling way too fast You have been on my mind Ever since you left It's been only a week That we met But don't you see? Now my hearts a wreck How can you kiss you me When you wont stay? How can you hold me If it's just for a day? How can you know me If you don't feel my pain? I'm growing up, but still don't understand why Sometimes love dies It told her that I believe In love at first sight A man broke her heart Now she don't wanna try I know that she felt something When we held each other's eyes It makes me sad to know That love depends on time How can you kiss you me When you wont stay? How can you hold me If it's just for a day? How can you know me If you don't feel my pain? I'm growing up, but still don't understand why Sometimes love dies I'm learning not everyone's ready for love Or loves not ready for us You've used me And confused me How can you kiss you me When you wont stay? How can you hold me If it's just for a day? How can you know me If you don't feel my pain? I'm growing up, but still don't understand why Sometimes love dies

Cycle of Love 04:30

My, oh my, I'm staring out the window Thinking about the lives of all the people walking by She catches my eye shoots a smile in my direction I know that I'd open up my heart in a split second I can tell you bout my rain about my thunder I can hold you when the times they bring you under Because there's a million more, but you there is no other And I won't make you guess and I won't make you wonder Is this love? We'll drink coffee in the nighttime as we cuddle You'll kiss my cheek, get lost in my stubble Take a photograph of our two heads on the pillow Say "forever" but forever's till tomorrow.... I can tell you bout my rain about my thunder I can hold you when the times they bring you under Because there's a million more, but you there is no other And I won't make you guess and I won't make you wonder Is this love? Is this love, or have you had enough? Are you scared of my touch, do you quit when things get rough? Do you want to be a distant memory? So I can write a love song, and put you on CD Well, my, oh my, I'm staring out the window Thinking boy time flies, and will I die alone She catches my eye, another smile I say "hi", that's that cycle of love I can tell you bout my rain about my thunder I can hold you when the times they bring you under Because there's a million more, but you there is no other And I won't make you guess and I won't make you wonder Is this love?

Hello & Goodbye 04:28

A few days I’m heading on my own Not sure where the hell I’ll go But I’ve got music, and I’ve got love for the road They said I don’t understand That I’m acting like a reckless man Maybe they’re right, maybe one day I’ll be homeless living in a van I said a broken heart is a broken dream is a broken plan is a broken scheme Was it meant for me? Was it meant to be? Or am I naive, or am I just really young? Take your lies and burn them in the fire I’m figuring out my life and I found my true desire I know I’ll be fine I’ll write to you when I fly Rain or sunshine, this is my “Hello and Goodbye” Told mama I’m not going to school That I’ve got some things to do Made her a promise that I’ll be coming home so soon She said “Okay, alright It’s your own damn life Just make me a promise That you’ll be coming home alive” I said a broken heart Is a broken dream Is a broken plan Is a broken scheme Was it meant for me? Was it meant to be? Or am I naive, or am I just really young? Take your lies and burn them in the fire I’m figuring out my life and I found my true desire I know I’ll be fine I’ll write to you when I fly Rain or sunshine, this is my “Hello and Goodbye” I’m gonna keep running Cause’ god didn’t make no time for free I feel something coming The plans to make some history I said a broken heart is a broken dream is a broken plan is a broken scheme This was meant for me This was meant to be Yeah, I’m naive And too damn young Take your lies and burn them in the fire I’m figuring out my life and I found my true desire I know I’ll be fine I’ll write to you when I fly Rain or sunshine, this is my “Hello and Goodbye”

Wonderwoman 03:16

It's fleeting in the morning These dreams of a blonde haired pig-tailed girl This jungle ain't for me all the concrete jail cell without air This rage doesn't change, it just stays like a boat with no sail I can't control my mind I just want wonder woman But I don't see no one flying by She could be lost in New Orleans My lone star missing from the sky My oh so gorgeous But I made her up in my mind When will she come alive I'm trying to move forward But my heart is stuck in the past If people knew better they'd know I'm in love with regrets She don't gotta be perfect But she's got to have some class She's got me moving fast I just want wonder woman But I don't see no one flying by She could be lost in New Orleans My lone star missing from the sky My oh so gorgeous But I made her up in my mind When will she come alive She'll bring out the best in me She'll give me some inner peace She'll give me her heart for free She'll tell me we were meant to be She'll listen to my songs and sing She's my disappearing dream.. I just want wonder woman But I don't see no one flying by She could be lost in New Orleans My lone star missing from the sky My oh so gorgeous But I made her up in my mind When will she come alive
