If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel - nothing at all. The best things arrive on time.

Its Not Too Late
Gently rolling father time
Is calling to him now,
And though he hears him
He looks out to sea.
Somewhere out there lie his dreams
A story with no ending
And till he finds his answers
He wont be going nowhere
For him, its not too late
Its not too late
For some its never too late
Quietly knocking on her door.
He patiently stands waiting,
And though she hears him
She sits steadfast in her chair.
Somewhere out there never seen
Her hopes and dreams lie waiting,
And till she finds an answer
She wont be going nowhere
For her, its not too late
Its not too late
For some its never too late
For everything we know thats certain
There is much we cannot see,
So we choose to close the curtain,
Never knowing what could have been
Its not too late, its not too late, never too late
Slowly rocking the babys bed
He strokes its head and whispers
And though it hears him,
It keeps smiling and kicks its feet
Somewhere out there is a life,
A lifetime made for living
So it holds on fast, it aint going nowhere
For some its not too late,
Its not too late
For some its never too late
For some its not too late
Its not too late
For some its never too late

Numb inside
So very numb inside.
I do feel.
So very empty and numb.
Will ever feel again,
An emotionless wreck.
As depression
Sets in
As it takes over me.
Depression controlls my life.
So very numb inside.
I cannot feel a thing.
A shadow
Of darkness
So very numb
numb
I feel
Nothing
just numb

Late Winter
This Winter came so late,
It hasn't even come,
The warmth still remains,
From late Autumn,
At thirteen it stays,
No frost, wind or coldness,
No shrill in the voices of men,
As they stare into the oncoming snow,
The breeze and quality ice,
Nothing... nothing at all...
It doesn't feel like Winter,
It feels like Late Winter,
That the control panel,
For Winter has been overridden,
Taken over, not knowing when,
How, or even why to start,
Journal burnt in Autumn,
Crisp, warm weather,
Nothing remains,
No snow walks, evenings by the fire,
Staying away from the cold,
So warm...
Please, Late Winter,
Arrive, we're waiting,
So real Winter can begin,
At full speed, steaming ahead,
Faster than the world can take it,
Late Winter... arrive...

He who arrives too late finds the plate turned over.
Running
Running to catch up again, jumping higher and flying more often than not
Your trampoline has got holes in it but I can still see the top
Let me climb aboard and sample some of next years fashion
I'll wear the coat if you can put the hat on, I will wear the coat,
Just let me clear my throat so I can say what's been delayed away
Let me crawl into your lap and just lay here for awhile
Satisfied by your seduction like a handshake would do the job
Never know how long I have waited, anticipated your smile to be pressed against mine
Well I feel it. (oh boy) and I'm gonna settle tight
She could pour me over this sugar hill or mountain
Until I get hat cool breeze, tight squeeze, I'd do it over again
And I drink from her ever flowing fountain
And then I wake up I comb my hair and I hurry it up
But I arrive late I pack my things and I pick it up
Well I put down a good amount of deodorant this morning
And I found that I could drown a little bit of peace of mind
Cause it's no secret that to some degree they're gonna have to see you sweat
Strong enough for a man just do what you can to keep me soft and dry, I stink awhile
I don't know anything about those things
I almost don't wanna know anything about those things
And I don't care anything about those things
Cause if I did you know I'd share myself on those things, and I feel it.
And I'll be here all night, I'll pick up the pieces and I put them back together now
They may not be the right way but that's okay as long as they're all the same
I wish you well that you'd get better

Sleeping With The Numb
Waking only to feel nothing.
Just let me be.
Let me sleep so numb.
Pain is nonexistent in all extremities.
Time tics by and by.
and still nothing has changed.
still the same. who cares about that
guy who use live with the inflicted pain by
you over again and again.
hes just a stain and now its time to clean up.
waking to only feel nothing.
let me be. let me sleep so numb.
remember nothing. a nonexistent past.
house that burnt down and with it
all my memories accept for me being constantly numb.
A drug induce state should be one most kids celebrate.
but not this one. it was so fake.
Waking only to feel nothing.
let me be.
let me sleep so numb.
skin melts and still nothing,
i bleed and still nothing,
hit in the head and still nothing,
salt in the eyes and still absolutely nothing.
where are all the feelings
I'm so suppose to be feeling.
waking up only to feel nothing.
let me be.
let me sleep so oh so numb

Whoevers In New England
(kendal franceschi/quentin powers)
You spend an awful lot of time in massachutes
Seems like every other week youve got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
Youve got with all your heart
When whoevers in new england is through with you
And boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late cause youll always have a place to go
When whoevers in new englands through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
Ive been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear
I packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all
When whoevers in new england is through with you
And boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late cause youll always have a place to go
When whoevers in new englands through with you

Numb
I get this feeling inside.
It runs skin deep and cuts me to the core.
I feel so numb and life seem a shore.
The feeling is so deep.
Bring with it the dread that makes me want to weap.
But my emoitions are locked in deep.
Im drowning in misery.
I cant get afloat.
But I hide it all well.
Im so numb inside.
Numb numn numb.
Thats what I am.
Im waiting for the day when it'll all explodeD

He'll Arrive
Chorus:
Jesus is coming back, time to make up for all you lack
Neither you nor i know the day or the time he'll arrive, he'll arrive
Verse 1:
There are things that seem right in your mind
Until the time in life when things must change
Will you sacrifice a little of your time to get right
Now is the time ...
Chorus
Verse 2:
Coming like a thief in the night in the night for your life
And he'll catch you off guard
If your heart ain't right don't hesitate
The longer that you wait it may be too late
And you don't want it to end that way
Bridge: ohh(ad lib) get right, get right

Ask Me How I Feel
Oh Im waiting in the storm ask me how I feel
When things are going wrong why dont you ask me how I feel
The night is awful cold ask me how I feel
Youre much too loose to hold why dont you ask me how I feel
I close my eyes to follow you
To my surprise youre so untrue
And Im crying Im dying
Oh Im waiting in the storm ask me how I feel
When you keep me hanging on why dont you ask me how I feel
The waters run so deep ask me how I feel
When I dont get any sleep why dont you ask me how I feel
And when youre down you lean on me
Youre a fool too blind to see
That Im crying Im dying
Oh Im waiting in the storm why dont you ask me how I feel
What the hell is going on why dont you ask me how I feel
When you stay out late at night ask me how I feel
When you think that Im uptight why dont you ask me how I feel oh
You dont treat me tender no matter what I do
But Im the great pretender woah ho ho ho
Im waiting in the storm ask me how I feel
What the hell is going on
When you stay out late at night you never ask me how I feel
You just say that Im uptight
When youre down I do for you
And now I find that youre untrue

Too Late
See the stop-light turn-in red,
Dont you listen to what its said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin hard inside.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Oo, yes, my friend, youre fadin fast, if you stay here you wont last.
Before your time has run astray, youve got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, its time to make the change, yes, its time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late, too late, to make the change
Too late to make the change
Too late, before its too late.

Numb and Delude Me
Numb and delude me!
Fantasize my helpless urges.
Of late...
I can not seem to fake my needs.
Of late...
It is my needs I need to fake.
When I see you by mistake,
Creating tension...
With companion smiling,
Attentively!
Numb and delude me!
Include me in your eyes.
Show me a hint of surprise...
And loss.
Toss me a combination of lost love relived!
Include me...
With 'that'
In your eyes.
Numb and delude me!
That's all I need.
Even if that need...
Might mean my leaving you alone.
Numb and delude me.
Drive my heart with your touch to overdose!
Too intoxicated...
Until somehow I knock myself free!
And right now that's all I need...
Just once,
Soothe this struggle.
Before I go!

Numb And Number
she keeps on waiting
he is numb
but not really dumb
he is just numb and getting number
numbers come like some significant
ages and hints or guides
as he get number still as she keeps waiting for more
of what does not come
he is not really dumb and neither is she
as she keeps on waiting for what does not come
she is asleep now
as he enters the room with all the lights
off.

I Feel You (feat. Esthero)
I want to know
where you go
I want to know
where you go
at night
when you leave my bed
and when I saw you wandering
is when I knew
you had no time for me left in your life
so I'm gonna hold my baby blond away blond away
so good bye
But I feel you
(dont want to let you go)
I feel you
(hey man I love you so)
I feel you
(I long you in the night)
I feel you
if you want you can try and you can make it right
Oh you are such a little child
Oh you are such a little child
and you wont give anything away
no way, no way, no oh
and when I saw you wandering
when I saw you creeping is when I knew
you had no time for me
in your life so boo-hoo
no youre gone
but I feel you
(dont want to let you go)
I feel you
(hey man I love you so)
I feel you
(I long you in the night)
I feel you ooh ooh ooh
Its not too late to catch me while you can
I will be waiting for you
you know its not too late
its not to late
oh baby went away
I wish he could have stayed here
but its not too late
but I feel you
(dont want to let you go)
I feel you
(hey man I love you so)
I feel you
(I long you in the night)
I feel you you you you (yeah)

All My Life
Is it the way that you feel when Im kissing on you
Or is it the soul I can see in your eyes
The clothes that you wear or the smell of your hair
Or is it the way I cant sleep when youre not there
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
Is it the way that you feel deep inside
Or is it the way that I feel so alive
Your star and your flair are beyond compare
Or is it the way that we feel when were on fire
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, oh i, Ive been waiting for you
Every night, oh Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, oh i, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
Ive been waiting for you
Ive been waiting for you
Ive been waiting for you
Ive been waiting for you
Ive been waiting for you
