A' Is No Longer Available
From point 'A' to B.
To C what D has instore for you.
With a running back and forth,
Trying to find someone willing to stay in place...
As a means to satisfy your convenience.
But I was that 'A',
You ran from to be with B.
And after finishing with C...
You believed D,
Would provide you all your needs.
And you found yourself with an empty E.
Only with an F you...
Have earned to learn,
'A' is no longer for you available.

So You Know
Just so you know, just so you know
Just so you know, just so you know
I got to find a way to grieve without my head sticking into my heart
I don't want to let her leave without my heads thinking this is the start
I was dreaming before that she believes that I'm the one who's on her side
Cannot let this go until I get my way
Stay
Just so you know
Just so you know
I never believed you
Just so you know
Just so you know
I want you to stay
Looking closely at a picture of myself from years ago
Looking closely at a stranger who could never let it show
Now I still feel empty as I lay here and absorb myself
Cannot let this go until I get my way
Stay
Just so you know
Just so you know
I never believed you
Just so you know
Just so you know
I want you to stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Just so you know
Just so you know
I never believed you
Just so you know
Just so you know
I want you to stay
Stay
Just so you know
Just so you know
I never believed you
Just so you know
Just so you know
I want you to stay
Stay
Just so you know, just so you know
Just so you know, just so you know

You Just Havent Earned It Yet, Baby
If youre wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
If youre wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be famous
I have tried for so long, its all gone wrong
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
But you wouldnt believe me
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, my son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just havent earned it yet baby
And Im telling you now ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh ...
Oh

Running On Empty
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I dont know where Im running now, Im just running on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I dont know when that road turned onto the road Im on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
Id love to stick around but Im running behind
You know I dont even know what Im hoping to find
Running into the sun but Im running behind

I Believe In You
I never believed in dreaming
It never got me very far
I never believed that love could find me
Like an arrow through the heart
I never believed in miracles
Or building castles in the air
Not until that day I found you
I turned around and you were there
From the day you came you gave me
A whole new point of view
I've been touched by an angel
It's impossible but true
(CHORUS)
I believe in you
I swear that forever from today
No one will ever take your place
I believe in you
And I believe our love will last always
I never believe fairytales
Though sometimes I wish I could
I never believed that golden slippers
Could ever find the perfect foot
I never believed in magic
Or that wishes could come true
But your very first kiss
Changed all this something only you could do
You made me a believer
You made me trust again
You showed me there's a pot of gold
At every rainbow's end
(CHORUS)
I believe in you
I swear that forever from today
No one will ever take your place
I believe in you
And I believe our love will last always
Only love set you free
And if you serve to fate
Then you're my destiny
Now I know
Now I see
Anything can happen
If you just believe
(CHORUS)
I believe in you
I swear that forever from today
No one will ever take your place
I believe in you
And I believe our love will last always

Love Can Do
Who can say
Why she turned and walked away.
I cant see,
But shes gone away.
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight.
Everybody runs,
Everybody hides,
No, this aint the movies,
Now its flesh and blood,
And this thing Im sure of,
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
Love can do
Things you never thought it could,
Mend a hurt so bad,
Make you feel so good.
Loves for fools
Wise enough to take a chance;
Hear the music girl,
Let me see you dance.
No, this aint the movies,
Now its give and take,
And its your heart at stake.
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
No....
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
(get outta my yard.)
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Yeah, yeah,
Looking for the love youre sure will last.
Why do you have to say it?
Love has gone away;
Its not...like that.
Loves not like that.
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
(no, no, not like that.) no!
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back!
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
No? no!
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back, (owwww!)
Coming back to stay!

Time (feat. Na Na)
One more time
I saddle up and leave for no mans land
like so many times before
they say that lightning strikes not once but twice
and I ain't gonna stay
cause I can't take anymore
When memories make themselves heard
go away - go away
you know that you gave me your word
gonna go on my own
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Now I know
here's where the story ends and I have come
to the point of no return
and when I'm looking back at the times
where it all began
I know that I still have much to learn
When memories make themselves heard
go away - go away
you know that you gave me your word
gonna go on my own
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Gonna go on my own
Cause I can't take anymore
ain't gonna stay
ain't gonna stay
Time, time will take me there
I will go anywhere
I know you'll run along
cause I can't take anymore
ain't gonna stay
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way

Running On Empty
My heart is bereft.
All the feeling now has left.
I no longer matter,
I am no longer human.
An empty vessel broken,
can't even hold a morcel.
I am running on empty,
a run of the mill sociopath.
I've hurt my best freind,
I'm rotten and lack class.
I always hoped to have her as my wife.
We could have children,
and a glorious life.
She was the best.
So much higher than the rest.
I screwed it up.
I am an empty shell.
For all that I've done,
I'll go to hell.
I wish to go back and make everything right,
but I can't my chest is so tight.
So all I can do is sit here and dream.
About all the passion and love that she does bring.
The perfect wife,
the perfect mother.
I'm running on empty.
An endless road stretches deep and bumpy.

The Piper
No, he never led them far away,
willing as they were to follow
and not to go back.
The mountain never opened
to take them in.
Just over the mountain
he left them.
Having heard such music,
they believed,
they could never again be the children
of that sad town.
Somewhere ahead must lie,
they believed,
the joyous land from which he came.
But they did not believe
that they might find it without him.
Some, in the end, went forward
and some went back.
You may know them and their kind
by a small empty place
in the corner of the eye
in every town where the young
pine for a distant land,
in every land
where they mourn the remembered town

A Far Better Way (Firefly Session Out-take)
Seeing you here
All of my fears seem to
Drift right away
Seeing you smile
Checking out your style
I begin to hope you'll stay
Stay awhile so we can play
Lost in a dream
That's becaming a nightmare
Day by day
It's my love and my life
And somewhere between them
There's a road
And it's a far, a far better way
Out of nowhere came this vision
Of you and me together
Looking for a better way
Then from nowhere
You came running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I've suddenly found
A lot of things to say
Now we'll sing our tune together
This way it's a whole lot better
We're out to prove
There is a place for love
Then from somewhere
We?ll come running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I think we've found
A far better way
I think we've found
A far better way ...

If You Still Remembered Me
This space I wanted,
Seems too large and empty
Without you.
In this place,
You've taken all my comfort.
I did not know you could do that.
I did not know I would want you back...
Like I want you back now.
This space I wanted,
Seems too barren and bleak
Without hearing your words
I wish to hear you speak.
You split...
And I called it quits.
We could not sit and talk,
Over it any longer!
That stays and replays in my mind!
Had I known I would find myself,
AFTER you left...
I would have sat and listened.
And put a stop to denying my faults.
You would not have walked out of my life!
I would have begged you to stay.
I would beg now to have you back.
If I knew where you were...
And if you still remembered me.

A Place In The Sun
(track 14 - time 4:18)
(steve dukes/chris lindsey)
Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin? glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny
Someday Ill find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know theres got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
Im running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Darkness hangs overhead
Close to the point where angels fear to tread
I close my eyes and think of you instead
And pray youll be here soon
Someday Ill find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know theres got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
Im running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Sometimes it feels like this whole worlds against me
And every beaten path is just another winding road that tempts me
Far from you and all thats true
Ive got to find my way again
Someday Ill find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know theres got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
Im running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Yeah Im running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Oh, wont you shine down on me sunshine

(No More) Love At Your Convenience
Your childish game is over now.
Lost your power over night some how.
Better see it ain't gonna be like it used to be.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your command.
No more love at your convenience.
Lots of time late at night, I really needed you.
I'm telling you tonight's the night.
Close your mouth
Turn off the light.
Pull me babe.
Pull me down closer on you.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your command.
No more love at your convenience.
Lots of time late at night, I really needed you.
I really needed you.
I really needed you.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your command.
No more love at your convenience.
Quit your tears and dry your eyes.
You know I hate to see you cry.
Don't you see,
Things gotta be what they got to.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your convenience.
No more love at your convenience

Running Back To You
Boy, youve been running around to long
Now I think youre running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
Its time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one, then walk out the door
And you think you can run arround having fun,
And just come back for more
Chorus:
I think youre living in a fantasy
Its got to be them or me
So if you try it onr more time
Baby dont expect me to come running back to you
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Boy, hope you see before to late
I wont play the fool-no not this time
And Ill show you just how wrong you are
To think I just cant get you out of my mind
So you think you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run arround and come back for more
Chorus
You cant dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear youre playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want oh
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back

Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back

Cross My Heart
(hamish steward/sharon robinson)
Youre like a child within
The one who just wont give in
Oh how you love to play
I wanna understand
I wanna do all I can
I wanna make you stay
Where will I find you
Next time I lose you
Im just a fool for your touch
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
Its getting stronger
I cant wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Your kisses are bittersweet
Alibies incomplete
I know what you didnt say
Now havent you had your fun
Is anything left undone
Why cant we meet half way
When will you find out
Now that the truths out
This is more than a careless romance
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
Its getting stronger
I cant wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
True love is never quite enough
Its so unsure
Is it what youre dreaming of
Darling, its time you let me in
Maybe tonight
We can start again
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
Its getting stronger
I cant wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
Its getting stronger
I cant wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
Its getting stronger
I cant wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

Who Can I Run To?
Verse one:
(latocha):
As I stand here contemplating,
On the right thing to decide.
Will I take the wrong direction,
All my life, where will I go,
What lies ahead of me?
(tamika):
I have strong determination,
And Im not afraid of change.
I have yet to find that someone,
Who would care to satisfy me,
To stay right by me.
Chorus:
Who can I run to,
To share this empty space?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?
Who can I run to,
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?
Verse two:
(tiny):
And my mind is so confusing,
Who would be that special one?
Everyday Im trying to find you,
All along, Ive got to know,
Is there a place for me?
(latocha):
I know love has many names,
And a message very clear.
All it takes is time and patience,
To bring you near,
But look at me, tell me

Running All Day
I see him on TV and everyday you can see me
getting more wound up by the fact that he's loved
You dont know who he is, I was once that kid
Fans screaming my name but now there not.
And I know who's to blame.
He took it all from me everything that I own
Left me with nothing broke and unknown
If theres one thing I know im gonna take it all back
The gloves are off and anyway that I can
rip him down from ontop of that thrown
Then we'll see whos really unknown
standing toe to toe he doesn; 't stand a chance
He's gonna learn the hard way what it means to be a man.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.
Knocked down once, get up again
Knocked down twice see the other man dead.
Led to war by the skin of our teeth
Friends and enemies share the same seats.
They're sweet together cos they know what its like
To live this life that takes you by suprise.
Anytime, day or night, priority one just to stay alive.
And that's what you just cant see
The fact that your just not me
You cant ask questions bout living this life, only ones that know already those that died.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.
But this is it no place left to go
your gonna hand it back everything that you stole
and now we're patiently gonna wait and see
what the world has to say bout you and me
If they'll take you side after all this time
and believe the lies that you drove inside
but I still have faith that its not a dead end race
and I place my life in the hands of the good lords grace
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.

Beyond The Point Of No Return
There is a point in every journey,
a point of no return.
Once you’ve passed it,
you have to carry on,
regardless how bumpy the road may be.
There is no turning back;
you are committed to finishing the course,
no matter what you see.
