Loser
If you look at how high
The wall before you is
You'll be too scared to even try
So sure that you will miss.
If you look at the waves
You will lose your breath
Before you even take a swim
Afraid you will get all wet.
If you think of the Past
And blame all that you are
To those memories that don't last
For sure, you won't go very far.
A man who keeps looking back
Never gets to take the chance
He keeps counting the things he lacks
He believes in retreat, never advance.

Running Scared
Words and music by roy orbison and joe melson
Just runnin scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you
Just runnin scared, feelin low
Runnin scared, you love him so
Just runnin scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose
Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.

Sometimes
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself.
Sometimes i want to be alone.
Sometimes I feel like I should push you away.
Just to see if you would go.
Sometimes I want you to leave
just to see if you like it more away...
Sometimes I wanna tell you everything,
but I don't want you to judge me.
Sometimes I wanna hold your hand,
but I'm scared you'll let mines go.
Sometimes I wanna tell you how much I like you..
But I'm afraid you wouldn't wanna know.
Sometimes I wanna treat you good,
but I'm afraid you'd take advantage,
sometimes I wanna give you all of me,
But I don't think you want the challenge
Sometimes I want you to be mines,
but I think you'd be better with someone else.
Sometimes I need you more then ever,
but I'm afraid to ask for help.
Sometimes I wanna call your phone,
but I'm afraid that you'd be busy.
Sometimes I wish you'd walk past,
but I'd assume that you'd just miss me.
Sometimes I wanna run to you
But I'm scared I wouldn't find you
Sometimes I wanna kiss you
But are you really mines to?
Sometimes I want you to believe in me
But I'm scared you'll doubt me
Sometimes I want you to stay
But I don't think you care about me.

A silent murder
A silent murder
A whispering grave
Voices are spoken
But they all fade away
Left all alone
In this forsaken home
Pictures we'll bare
Lost long voices we'll share
Broken memories of the past
Where too good to last
So pack up your bags
This is your last chance
Voices we long to hear
Are crackled, unclear
And faces we miss
Are long lost in the mist
New people we will meet
Eyes don't leave our feet
For memories from our past
Were built strong, to forever last
Frame your past
Shatter your future
Lose yourself in the moment
Lose yourself in the past
Twisted lives, will forever last
Frame your past
Jump inside
Hate the moment
So feed me more lies

Waves Of Fear
Waves of fear, attack in the night
Waves if revulsion, sickening sights
My hearts nearly bursting, my chests choking tight
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, squat on the floor
Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone
Blood trips from my nose, I can barely breathe
Waves of fear, Im too scared to leave
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Im too afraid to use the phone
Im too afraid to put the light on
Im so afraid Ive lost control
Im suffocating without a word
Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw
Whats that funny noise, whats that on the floor
Waves of fear, pulsing with death
I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step
I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell
I know where I must be, I must be in hell
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, waves of fear

Where We Stand
[Intro - Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving too fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
Today you said some things to me
That made it plain for me to see
And now I do believe
That there's a chance for you and me
Elated I would be
If it became reality
I'll put away my fears
Cause only fait brought us here
[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When i just meet you the other day
Why do believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
It's just a few days but I'm open wide
Or maybe I should take my time
I think where moving fast but I want you bad
My mind is telling me one thing
But my body says another
I wanna be your lover
[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving to fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
It's hard to figure out
In the back of my mind there's so much doubt
Why do I look for clues
When there's no reason to question you
It's only natural
I Just gotta wait and see
Will we ever be
Will we ever be
[Chorus]
Tell me if it's too soon to love
When i just met you the other day
Could it be that I'm scared to take a chance
Deep inside I don't know where we stand
Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)

Missing You
I miss lying next to you.
Feeling your breath on my neck,
My face.
Miss reaching for someone
Who knew me
Every hill and valley
Every crevice.
The good and bad of me.
The real of me.
You were the end of me.
I miss the simple things
That were so easy between us.
One look that made me laugh
One look that made me sad
That look you gave
That let me know.
That secret language no one else spoke.
I miss exchanging my breath
With someone who could make me stop breathing
Just by walking into the room
Make my heart skip a beat
Make me sway.
I miss you in so many little ways.
Will I miss you
The rest of my days?
I don't like feeling the space
That dip in my bed forever shaped like your body.
I miss lying next to you
When you would face me and we'd talk
While you traced my face with your fingers
Held me with your gaze
Let me spill my secret fears
Kissed me gently and made me feel safe.
I miss you in so many little ways.
I hate walking into a room
Where someone else smells like your cologne.
This loneliness has an ebb and flow
That pulls at my memories of you.
I wish you would go
And take your ghost.
Being haunted by memories
Makes it hard to move on.
I want to exercise you
But, really, I don't.
I want to be at peace though,
And a chance to move on and grow.

I Love You
Ohhhhh
(chorus)
All those pretty memories,
I know you can hear me now
For the record,
I love you, I love you
(repeat)
(vs.1)
When I found out that you were leaving me,
I coudnt sleep thinking about
All the things that weve been through
Now all that I want to do
Is tell you that i, (I)
Miss you...so much...
(you know I really really miss you...)
(chorus)
(vs.2)
Now that Im on my own
I know that in time Ill find somebody new
(wholl treat me better than you)
So Ill go all alone without you
But I still love you
You know Ill never live without you
(chorus)
I wish youd change your ways soon enough
So we can be together
You just dont understand good enough
But now all we have is memories...
(chorus)
Memories we shared
No one else could compare
Ohh, I miss you, I miss you
Oh I miss you
...of the way we used to be,
Oh, those pretty memories
Oh.......
I miss you...
I miss you...
Oh, I miss you...
Ohh...

After All (The Dead)
What do you say to the dead
Will you forgive me for living
Can't believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It's killing me
What do they do with your soul
Is it just lying there busted
When did you lose all control
Is there someone to be trusted
With my mind
Oh there's insufficient evidence
Of what just might come after
But sometimes out of nowhere
There's demented sounds of laughter
Are we all haunted by
The ghost - imagination
It just can't be
I've seen them there
Howling at the moon
Is it just me
Or does somebody else believe this
Well i'm not alone
And i'm not afraid
There's just one way to see
Chorus:
After all etc.
What do you say to the dead
Is there a place where it's burning
It says in a book i once read
Yes there's a chance of returning
Turn to me
The fundamental principles
Say nothing of forever
But those are voices that i hear
Or i'm just not so clever
It can't be me
I know somebody else believes this
Well i'm not alone
I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all etc.

A Toast to the Men
Here's to the men! Since Adam's time
They've always been the same;
Whenever anything goes wrong,
The woman is to blame.
From early morn to late at night,
The men fault-finders are;
They blame us if they oversleep,
Or if they miss a car.
They blame us if, beneath the bed,
Their collar buttons roll;
They blame us if the fire is out
Or if there is no coal.
They blame us if they cut themselves
While shaving, and they swear
That we're to blame if they decide
To go upon a tear.
Here's to the men, the perfect men!
Who never are at fault;
They blame us if they chance to get
The pepper for the salt.
They blame us if their business fails,
Or back a losing horse;
And when it rains on holidays
The fault is ours, of course.
They blame us when they fall in love,
And when they married get;
Likewise they blame us when they're sick,
And when they fall in debt.
For everything that crisscross goes
They say we are to blame;
But, after all, here's to the men,
We love them just the same!

When It Ends
I was down in the corner of a four wall Classroom
With the feeling that like dying, so much hopeless
The life that before I was trying to spit
Now I cannot give up-I'm used to the fullest...
Tears keep falling down-I cannot control it
Memories I made here, I cannot just give up
Changes in my life bring nonfading marks of past
leaving behind some clues that fast
reminding a friendship that never lasts..
'Coz I rememory it all - it's like a video tape that rewinds
all events here inside it merely reminds.
I want to live more than this
I want to Escape....
I am not that selfish yet
I'll go back after all this year
Love will reflect only hate to me
So why should I?
Why do too?
I am free! I am me..
I can do whatever I wanted to..
But why, ... this feeling
is refilling the gaps to forget and why?
I couldn't think of things I want to do.
I'll be gone and never be back again..
So why should I remember you..
GOD, , I wanna die..
We'll go on separate ways..
We'll be leaving each other
I'll be leaving the alma mater..
The council to bother makes my grades sank down
the teachers that murmurs that makes my brain break down
my demon-like father that brings fright to my thoughts..
that scared me more that makes insane
you made me insane..
all of you..
you were killing me..
I will not miss you..
I will blame you
I hate you all..
that's a false fact-An irony that keeps me alive.

Have You Met Miss Jones?
Have you met Miss Jones
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me
Then I said Miss Jones
You're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free.
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky
Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky
Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I

I'm Counting On You (feat. Johnny O'Keefe)
I'm counting on you
Ever since we met darling I've been keeping score
Everyday I count your charms
Every day I love you more
It's plain to see why you're the lover I waited for
I'm counting the diferrent ways you melt me
Your smile your voice your touch
I'm counting the little things you tell me
That move me oh sdo much
I'm counting your kisses and caresses
And cause I thrill as I do
For I'm counting on you
I'm counting the hours since I found you
The days and nights divine
I'm counting the dreams I built around you
Because your love is mine
I'm counting on happiness forever
Oh lover always be true
For I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you

One More
One more
Every kiss I cherish every hug I want forget.
The sweet things u do me that makes my eyes sweat.
I hold every moment with you tight to my chest.
From cuddling at home or cheating on that test.
And all I want is one more.
From sleepless nights staying up on the phone.
Cooking you dinner when we were home alone.
These moments may have past but they'll never be gone.
But this that's going on doesn't mean our futures blown.
All I want is one more.
One more chance to earn that one first dance.
Take me by the hand an there want be a second glance.
No more looking back because the grass is greener where we're headed.
holding hands on shaded islands or kissing you in Paris.
All I want is one more chance.
I know u r scared but I can't live like this.
In the last four months there's a lot of moments that I missed.
An I don't want to miss another moment.
The time is now the moments for us now let's own it.
Please just give me one more chance.

London
New York winter
Traffic squeals
The city feels...so old
Late December
Taxi ride
Then run inside
It's cold
Got your letter Monday
I think
Or Tuesday
I lose track
Since then I've been thinking of you
And I've been
Looking back to
London
Can you believe it's
So many years since
London
Hitching a ride and
Carrying knapsacks
London
In the park
By the Thames
Drinking tea
London
Sitting in pubs and
Living in walk-ups
London
Learning the accent
Learnin' to love you
London
We were young
We we sure
We were...free
Was it really ages
Ago
The memories
Never fade
Can you hear Big Ben where
You are
And are you
Glad you stayed in
London
Dodging the rain with
Broken umbrellas
London
Reading the times
On Saturday picnics
London
Counting the stars,
'Till the stars
All were gone
London
So many plans and
Nothing but time in
London
Nothing to fear 'cause
Nothing could last in
London
We grew close
We grew scared
I moved on
Oh London
What were we scared of
Why did I run from
London
Part of me still has
Never come back from
London
Is it fair
That I miss
You so much
Take good care
All my love
Keep in touch
New York winter
Taxi ride
Then run inside
It's cold

Afraid
Do you, do you wanna bleed?
Do you, do you wanna live in vain?
Its only life
Shes so afraid to kiss
An so afraid to laugh
Is she runnin from her past?
Its only life
Shes so afraid of love
Is so afraid of hate
Whats she runnin from now? ?
Do you, do you wanna scream?
Do you, do you wanna face the strange?
Do you, do you believe?
Are you, are you afraid of change?
Its only life
Shes so afraid of this
And so afraid to ask
She hides behind her mask
Nothings ever right
Shes so afraid of pain
So afraid of blame
Its driving her insane
So insecure
There is no cure
Well, shes so afraid
Shes so afraid of death
Shes so afraid, afraid of life
The drama in her head
Getting louder all the time
Getting louder all the time
Shes so afraid, afraid to lose
Been so afraid of fame
Everyday she feels the same
Its driven her insane...
Its driven her...
Its driven...
Its...

On a stormy sea
When the waves of the sea
became bigger and the wind
started to blow at storm strength,
the boat didn’t sail anymore
and it rocked in the waves
bobbing up and down in the water.
The men were afraid of death
while the Christ
walked on the stormy sea between the waves,
scared to sink and afraid of drowning
and also of seeing a ghost
appearing on the water,
but His calm voice brought serenity
to the wind, waves, sea and men on the boat.

Much Afraid
Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again
So I lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you
[Chorus:]
All of these things
I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I've made
Sweet Jesus

Every Time I Close My Eye
Everytime i,
Close my eyes
(2x)
Listen girl,
I dont know where to start
But every word I say,
Is straight from the heart
Ive been so wrong
Never meant to hurt you
Oh girl, Im sorry
Of what I put you through
Girl Id do anything for one more chance
(one more chance)
I want you back again
(want you back again)
Chorus:
cuz everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
And I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me
Now that I realize,
I want you girl, and no other
Everytime I close my eyes,
Youre all that I see
You and I shared it all together
Each other, with all wed ever need (all we ever need)
I thought that you would stay,
With me forever
But it took for granted
The love you gave to me
I keep on trying, keep on trying
til the end, til the end
Baby I need you right here with me
I need you here
Chorus
Girl Im going out of my mind
I miss you so much,
I dont know what to do (what to do)
Please stay
Its just a matter of time
til I feel your touch
til you let me come back to you
Think about you girl,
Every day and night Im in love
And it feels so right, Id never meant to hurt you
Or caused you pain
I was just callin up
In that lying game
But now those days are over
Ive changed our ways
And now Im counting the minute,
Im counting the days
til you let me come back
Till you let me start
To find a new way
To get back into your heart
Girl Id do anything for one more chance (one more chance)
cuz I want you, I want you back again
