Sometimes, I tell one lie after another
But, it’s alright
In time, I’ll find a reason to get outta bed
I’m so tired
Good guy, and you believe in everything I say
It’s all shite
Good times, maybe one day we’ll have the money
And get right
If this is a game then I don’t wanna play it
You do what you can to keep a good man down
I’m not the one to make you money
I get so drunk and then I’m somebody else
If this is a phase then it’s gonna time out
Just like a Stopwatch
So fast, and you keep on telling me to slow it down
Screw that
Smash glass, there ain’t no way to put it back together
It’s in the past
If this is a game then I don’t wanna play it
You do what you can to keep a good man down
I’m not the one to make you money
I get so drunk and then I blow it away
If this is a phase then it’s gonna time out
If this is a game then I don’t wanna play it
You do what you can to keep a good man down
I’m not the one to make you money
I get so drunk and then I blow it away
If this is your faith then I don’t wanna take it
I’m like a Stopwatch

Ain't Gonna Leave

Don’t just up and walk away
I ain’t finished what I came to say
Look at the time let’s not waste the day
Wipe that tear from the floor
And stop crying, I can’t take anymore
Don’t tell me to leave my keys by the door
I’ve been naked a hundred times
Still you want to close your eyes
But I ain’t gonna leave until I find a better place to go
I ain’t gonna leave until I find a better place to go
You’re not gonna stop until you’re done
‘till you succeeded in making me run
But I ain’t gonna leave until I find a better place to go
Don’t believe in what they say
They’re all liars, I’m counting the days
Until you decide to reside your trust in me (trust in me)
Please believe in yourself
And stop drinking; it’s not good for your health
You know you’d rather cry about me than be happy with somebody else
I’ve been naked a thousand times
Still you want to fantasize
I’ve been naked a million times
But still you want to close your eyes

Stalker

I know you’re home tonight
I followed you back from the train
Saw your face under the streetlight
Honey you can’t hide your pain
Your tears were coming down like rain
And I think that I know why
He’s gone and let you down again
Honey, for the last time
I know you like your coffee dark
I overheard you with your friends
Tall and strong and sugar sweet
Honey, I could be that man
But you won’t let me be that man
And I think that I know why
Cuz you just don’t know who I am
But I’ve been here all the time
I’m not your Stalker
I just don’t want to be alone tonight
I just want to walk you home
Don’t be alone tonight
I even got your second name
I’m dreaming one day you’ll take mine
Children running at our feet
Honey, I can see that life
But you won’t let me have that life
And I think that I know why
Cuz you’re somebody else’s wife
I’m not your Stalker
I just don’t want to be alone tonight
I just want to walk you home
Don’t be alone tonight
I’m not a stranger
I’m just trying to change your mind tonight
I ain’t trying to break no laws
Don’t be alone tonight
I’m not your Stalker
I just don’t want to be alone tonight
I just want to walk you home
(Don’t be alone tonight)

Well we were something
But it was never enough
And you couldn’t pay me now to go back there
Yeah the last time you were in my hair
That was the last time you were in my hair
Well we kept building walls but they kept breaking down
We couldn’t wait to get up in the air
Now your love surrounds me everywhere
Yeah and you surround me everywhere
Well I been this way since 1989
And it took me all this time to see the light
Yeah but now my heart is open wide
Just like the space between you and I
Well I keep talking dreams but they keep falling down
It seems regret is so much better than foresight
Now don’t tell me loving you ain’t right
Don’t tell me making love to you ain’t right
Am I the only one after 7 years?
And you want to break it down, down
Yeah the only one
After 7 years
Am I the only one after 7 years?
And you want to break it down, down
Yeah the only one
After all my fears
Honey don’t let me down now
The only one after 7 years
And you want to break it down, down
Yeah the only one
After all my tears
Honey don’t let me down now

My Old Friend
Jazz music lover
We were all by your side in the end
And for years right up until that day
My Old Friend
Not a dry eye
Our tears were falling down with every glass of red wine
I’m sorry we seem to have drank your single malt dry
But we had to raise a glass to you
One more time
Every day, the feeling, it comes in waves
You just can’t understand the magic you gave
That you still give today
My Old Friend
We just had to raise a glass to you, in the end
Now and then, I think about the things I should have said to you
If you could read my mind, the only thing I’d want to get through
Is that I’m not gonna forget you
My Old Friend
We just had to raise a glass to you, in the end
We just had to raise a glass to you, My Old Friend.

Playing the Field

One hundred million years ago
When I was mine and you were yours
We could have started our own revolution
You know I can’t recall one fight
Or even that we ever cried about anything
Then in the middle of our plans
You upped and let go of my hand
And I was forced to embrace your confusion
I didn’t ask any questions why
I told myself just let her fly
So you flew away
And when I look into her eyes
There will be no surprises
She’ll love me like she did before
It turns out that she had a plan
And that there was no other man
She was testing the water, she was Playing the Field
And now we carry on with life
Got me a job and a sexy wife
But she don’t understand me like you used to
Somebody get me outta here
Because I’m living out my greatest fear
That I ain’t got you near, because
When I hold onto her hand
There will be understanding
She’ll need me like she did before
It turns out that she had a plan
And that there was no other man
She was testing the water, she was Playing the Field
I stopped reading your star sign a long time ago
So just tell me to leave yeah and baby I’ll go
But I just came here to tell you I love you no more
So get out of my mind
Out of my mind
