Maryanne 02:19
I just want you to myself won't share you with anyone else it's just the way I feel You're heart I'm going to steal You came shining through the dark you pierced me through the heart I knew right then and there I had to have you near Ohh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh Maryanne, Maryanne, Maryanne You cause everyone to stare it's just like I'm not there Smiles everywhere but you're too good to share Your don't realize what you do like animals in the zoo they'd sell their souls for you and I would too Ohh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh Maryanne, Maryanne, Maryanne

I’m sitting out They’re heading on down to the mall A promise of fun for them all The check out girls on her phone, she wants to go home It’s a beautiful day at the pool But the spa is crowded and full Everyone splashing with glee, everyone happy but me. And I declined to join them. Preferring to soak up the sun The choice was too easy, I know I made the right one I’m sitting out, I’m sitting out, if it’s all the same to you I’m happy doing what I’m doing. I’m sitting out, I’m sitting out, If you think I’m being selfish I’m just telling you the truth. It’s time to line up for the fair Half the city is there There’s just so much in store, everyone screaming for more. They’re heading on down to the park Waiting for the show to start. Well I just can’t really see, what it has to do with me. And I declined to join them. Preferring to soak up the sun The choice was too easy, I know I made the right one I’m sitting out, I’m sitting out, if it’s all the same to you I’m happy doing what I’m doing. I’m sitting out, I’m sitting out, If you think I’m being selfish I’m just telling you the truth. (2x)

Halfway Home 03:22
I know you wish that I was here, and you might think that I don't care The truth is that I'd rather be with you too. And if I fly 1000 miles, a prisoner in an empty sky, the only thing I'm going to miss is you. My stomach turns as the plane turns west, the lights get brighter every breath now your almost closer enough to touch. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you Holed up in a hotel room, stirring coffee with a plastic spoon bummed out, I needed to leave so soon I hear the traffic from the second floor, like crashing waves on a distant shore. Look out the window and I miss you even more. My stomach turns as the plane turns west, the lights get brighter every breath now your almost closer enough to touch. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you And no more distant calls in the night the compromise just ain't worth the fight I cannot stand this pain anymore but soon I'll be right there at your door....cause My stomach turns as the plane turns west, the lights get brighter every breath now your almost closer enough to touch. I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you My stomach turns as the plane turns west, the lights get brighter every breath now your almost closer enough to touch. I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you. And I'm halfway home, I'm halfway home I'm halfway home to you

Monster 02:47
Mother, what shall we do, about the Monster that lives in the hall I tried to outwit him tonight, but he knows me too well. And I hear him calling me over tonight Mischievous creature unseen for the moon in his eyes Just call me insane He only arrives when it's late, and he knows I'm awake He hides in the corner and waits, with a grin on his face And I hear him calling me over tonight Mischievous creature unseen for the moon in his eyes Just call me insane

Lovers 04:08
Your licking honey, from a razor blade She's gonna pull the pin on your hand grenade Your walking on dangerous ground you think you don't need anyone you're so in the clouds your eyes are blind by the sun How do lovers, not fall in love when all they want is a chance to feel alive they say goodbye but soon enough they'll be right back and they don't even know why. Your foot's flat to the floor but you've got no brakes You left your shoes at the door now there's no escape Your walking on dangerous ground you think you don't need anyone you're so in the clouds your eyes are blind by the sun How do lovers, not fall in love when all they want is a chance to feel alive they say goodbye but soon enough they'll be right back and they don't even know why. How do lovers not fall in love How do lovers not fall in love

The cold kiss of the grass and the pines began to sway was the party all over my love had flown away We floated down from the city, so lost we couldn't get home the cool strike of the sun, shot right to the bone. Waiting through wasted days over our ungodly ways moving up moving on to to a brighter and a better place but it's gonna be hard (4x) The black cry of the soul, time had taken it's toll everything was cool, until they took back what we stole remember back in the days, when we partied wind, shine or rain we couldn't stop the train, we only had ourselves to blame. Waiting through wasted days over our ungodly ways moving up moving on to to a brighter and a better place but it's gonna be hard (4x)

I surrender 02:42
I tried my best to avoid you Didn’t need another mistake But when you came right up to me and smiled My barriers fell down like a quake I thought that I didn’t need love I thought I’d go it alone But when you walked into the room I felt these Feelings that I’d never known Chorus I surrender I put my hands right up I pledge my heart to you This kind of love I never knew We like the same kind of movies And all our music’s the same And now I know what I’ve been missing I’m handing you my heart on a plate Chorus I surrender I put my hands right up I pledge my heart to you This kind of love I never knew Bridge And what if I’d shut you out Decided not to follow through Like a satellite lost in space When all I really needed was you

My head keeps spinning and I don't know why flapping inside like a butterfly, my eyes want to stay but my feet want to say goodbye. You pull me like a magnet on a can, something ain't right I can't understand I close my eyes and put my head back in the sand I'm all in, I'm all out, don't know what it's about you turn me on, you turn me off, I want this roller coaster to stop I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I can't win I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I'm all out and sometimes I'm in. I'm standing on the edge of a diving board, or on a high cliff without a bungy chord, I just can't decide if I really want to jump or not. I get cold feet and say I'm leaving tonight, but turn right around in the morning light, I head right back not caring if it's wrong or right. I'm all in, I'm all out, don't know what it's about you turn me on, you turn me off, I want this roller coaster to stop I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I can't win I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I'm all out and sometimes I'm in. And I don't know how this is going to end I cross my fingers and hope we can still be friends. I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I can't win I'm falling in and out of love with you, there's not a single thing that I can do I keep changing like the wind, sometimes I'm all out and sometimes I'm in.
