"Falling For You" (09-08-03)
"If I told you that you�re beautiful
You�d just shake your head at me
If I told you that you�re lovely
You�d point and laugh at me
But if I told you that I loved you
Though things aren�t as they seem
You just smile and�
Look at me.
So confused.
Honey, you�re so confused.
Messed up in the head
You�ve got everything backwards
And I�m falling for you.
If I had a deserted island
And I�d been left there to die
If I could take just one thing with me
I�d have you by my side.
But if I couldn�t have you
If things stay as they are�
I�d still be your friend�
From so far away.
Away�.
So confused.
Honey, you�re so confused.
Messed up in the head
You�ve got everything backwards
And I�m falling for you
Sometimes I forget myself
I just never learn
Sometimes I find myself
And forget when next I turn
Sometimes I want to kiss you
Though I never could
Sometimes I think I have you
Though I never should
If I had to last forever
If I had to die today
If I had to say goodbye to you
If I had nothing to say
If I told you that I loved you
If things were as they seemed
You�d just smile and�
Look at me�
Look at me�
So confused.
Honey, you�re so confused.
Messed up in the head
You�ve got everything backwards
And I�m falling for you.
So confused.
Baby, I�m so confused.
I�ve lost my mind
I can�t say what I�m feeling
�Cause I�ve fallen for you.
Fallen for you�
For you�"
"Dreaming Again" (09-14-03)
"My head hits the pillow
I snuggle your shoulder
My hand,
Your hand, wraps around my waist
I roll into the blankets
I fall into your arms
My lips,
Your lips are pressed into mine
I fall asleep just to see your face
I close my eyes just so
You aren�t so far away
I dream of times when you are here
Fading out,
Falling in
And I�m dreaming again.
My hand rests on the pillow
I lightly brush your cheek
My face,
Your face, resting on my shoulder
My feet tangle in the sheets
Your legs are wrapped around me
My skin,
Your skin, so warm against me
I fall asleep just to see your face
I close my eyes just so
You aren�t so far away
I dream of times when you are here
Fading out,
Falling in
And I�m dreaming again.
Those nights I just can�t sleep
Those days I go without you
This insomnia plagues me
And the dreams I have about you
But when I dream I�m awake
When I dream you love me
When I dream you�ll say�
�Things could always be this way�.
I fall asleep just to see your face
I close my eyes just so
You aren�t so far away
I dream of times when you are here
Fading out,
Falling in
And I�m dreaming again.
(I fall asleep just to see your face)
My head hits the pillow
(I close my eyes just so you aren�t so far away)
I roll into the blankets
(I dream of times when you are here)
My hand rests on the pillow
(I fall asleep just to see your face)
My feet tangle in the sheets
(I close my eyes just so you aren�t so far away)
Close my eyes� I close my eyes.
(I dream of times when you are here)
Fading out,
Falling in
And I�m dreaming again."
"Valentine's Day" (09-14-03)
"It�s cloudy again tonight
And I can�t see the moon
And I can�t see your face
But I hear your voice in the wind
It rained again today
It poured like the sky was mourning
And it poured until the next morning
But the sun will come out tomorrow.
But, I love the rain
And I love the moon
And I love you too
But you love the sun
And you love the clouds
And you don�t know how I feel.
I met you on Valentine�s day
Two lovers crossing paths
Where they would merge,
No one can tell.
Yes, I met you on Valentine�s day
I loved you by mid-May.
I�ll hate you tomorrow,
But I love you today.
It snowed last night
And I can�t walk the paths
And I can�t drive the streets
But I can be inside by the fire
It will be spring soon
The trees will be in bloom
And the couples will be in love
But I�ll be all alone.
But, I hate the snow
And I hate the spring
And I hate you, too.
But you love the winter
And you love the romance
And you don�t know how I feel.
I met you on Valentine�s day
Two lovers crossing paths
Where they would merge,
No one can tell.
Yes, I met you on Valentine�s day
I loved you by mid-May.
I�ll hate you tomorrow,
But I love you today.
It�s cloudy again tonight
And I can�t see the moon
And I can�t see your face
But I hear your voice in the wind�"
"Order the Lady Some Flowers" (09-15-03)
"Sometimes I find myself thinking
About you, about me, about us
Sometimes I think that it won�t work
Do you care? Do I care? Do we care?
Sometimes I feel all alone, now.
Without you, without me, without this.
Sometimes I feel like this won�t work.
Do you care? Do I care? Do we care?
Order the lady some flowers
For her sake, for my sake, and ours.
Yes, I�ll order the lady some flowers.
�Cause she cares, �cause I care, �cause we care.
And I�ll take that lady to dinner
For her sake, for my sake, and ours.
Yes, I�ll take that dear lady to dinner.
�Cause she cares, �cause I care, �cause we care.
And I�ll buy her a ticket to the show.
For her sake, for my sake, and ours.
Yes, I�ll take that sweet lady to the show.
�Cause she cares, �cause I care, �cause we care.
She�ll come with me home after our date.
To her house, to my house, to ours.
Yes, she�ll come with me home after our date.
�Cause she�s mine, �cause I�m hers, �cause we�re ours.
And I�ll wake up beside her next morrow.
In her bed, in my bed, in ours.
Yes, I�ll wake up beside her tomorrow.
�Cause she�s mine, �cause I�m hers, �cause we�re ours.
And I�ll make her some flapjacks for breakfast.
With syrup, and sugar, and more
Yes, I�ll make her some pancakes for breakfast
�Cause I care, �cause she cares, �cause we care.
And sometimes I�ll watch her eating
With the fork, the spoon, and the knife
And I�ll find myself thinking about her.
Do I care? Of course I care. I�ll always care."
"The Radio is Blaring" (09-19-03)
"It was one of those times
I was driving in the car
I was thinking of you
And the radio was blaring
Playing songs I haven�t heard in years.
It was one of those days
I was sleeping through my classes
I was dreaming through my homework
And the radio was blaring
Playing songs I haven�t heard in years.
And I didn�t say life�s not boring
Sometimes I find myself nearly snoring
Wondering if I�ll ever rid myself of this feeling
Wondering if I�ll ever stop dreaming
And hoping I never wake up
It was one of those nights
I was passing through the hallway
I was singing in the shower
And the radio was blaring
Playing songs I haven�t heard in years.
It was one of those mornings
I was drinking my cup of coffee
I was thinking about leaving
And the radio was blaring
Playing songs I haven�t heard in years.
And I didn�t say life�s not boring
Sometimes I find myself nearly snoring
Wondering if I�ll ever rid myself of this feeling
Wondering if I�ll ever stop dreaming
And hoping I never wake up
Sometimes you have one of those days
You�re calling out to me
I�m driving you home
And the radio is blaring
Playing songs we sang to years ago."
"Am I Wrong?" (09-28-03)
"1200 miles,
Just about 5 too many
9,000 levels
Of things going through my mind
1,000,000 reasons
To want to be here
And only 1 night
To convey this all to you
Can you feel that?
It�s the motion of my breathing
Up and down it rises
In unison with you
Can you hear that?
It�s the sound my heart beating
Steadily, it�s pumping
And it�s all for you.
Can you see that?
It�s the rainbow after showers
Over clouds it arches
Right in front of you
Do you hear that?
It�s my music playing
Bursting through my speakers
And you�re humming to the tune.
1200 miles,
Just about 5 too many
9,000 levels
Of things going through my mind
1,000,000 reasons
To want to be here
And only 1 night
To convey this all to you
And it�s not that I�m more ready
And it�s not that I�m just wiser
But it�s you I�ve got my eyes on
But it�s you that I am holding
So don�t joke about leaving
And don�t tell me that I�m wrong.
1200 miles,
Just about 5 too many
9,000 levels
Of things going through my mind
1,000,000 reasons
To want to be here
And only 1 night
To convey this all to you"
