Harder to Pretend 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I'm a walking casualty Of your beauty and your ways I'd rather feel a knife sting Than to be apart for days You've got me in your grip Yet you're too naive to know That every man you pass by Watches you like their favorite show The more I see you friend The harder to pretend That were not meant to give it a shot Not much left on the ticking clock Gotta believe that you and me Have something worth fighting for I'm addicted to your smile Your lips and little' birth mark By far the greatest masterpiece Well second only to your golden heart The more I see you friend The harder to pretend That were not meant to give it a shot Not much left on the ticking clock Gotta believe that you and me Have something worth fighting for You enter my door and you give me this feeling that I've never felt before I get you a drink and you give me ten reasons to go on one day more Now I know I never knew what love was like till I met you And when we finally say goodbye That'll be the day my heart dies I'm a walking casualty Of your beauty and your ways I'd rather feel a knife sting Than to be apart for days The more I see you friend The harder to pretend That were not meant to give it a shot Not much left on the ticking clock Gotta believe that you and me Have something worth fighting for We were meant to give it a shot Not much left on the ticking clock Gotta believe that you and me Have something worth fighting for something worth fighting for

It's So Hard to Say 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Father, father it's me your youngest son I miss the way your beard feels on my face Father, father I get how much you gave, threw away your dreams and quit the race But it's so hard to say I love you? It's so hard to say I love you. Father, father I see that look inside your eyes But looks and words don't always mean the same Father father you're proud of the men you've raised Each one unique, with their own fame But it's so hard to say I love you? It's so hard to say I love you. But it's so hard to say I love you? It's so hard to say I love you.

In the Middle of the Night (I Wonder) 02:51
lyrics
buy track
In the middle of the night As the thunder and lightning strike I wonder, I wonder Do you wish I that was there To hold you tight and keep you safe from harm? In the Middle of the night When your fears are in clear sight I wonder, I wonder Do you wish that I was there To push them aside and pull you close to me? I need to know if you have felt a thing or two since we've met Is this song a solo or duet? In the middle of the night When the moon is looking nice I wonder I wonder Do you wish that I was there To stare at the sky with and to fall asleep with our hands locked? I need to know if you have felt a thing or two since we've met Is this song a solo or duet?

Both Inside and Out 02:58

You're pretty when you're red You're pretty when you're pale You're pretty when you're weak And you're pretty when you fail You're pretty when you're up You're pretty when you snooze You're pretty in your sweats and In your running shoes I feel you need to know your not ugly you are beautiful Beautiful both inside and out You're pretty when you end You're pretty when you start You're pretty when you burp and You're pretty when you fart You're pretty when you laugh You're pretty when you sob You're pretty when you're hairs a mess and you think you're a slob I feel you need to know your not ugly you are beautiful Beautiful both inside and out Don't think that you could ever be overrated I'm so thankful that you are mine I feel you need to know your not ugly you are beautiful Beautiful both inside and out You're pretty in my thoughts You're pretty in theirs You're pretty in my looks and You're pretty in their stares Ill say it once again you were pretty yesterday You'll be pretty tomorrow and you are pretty today I feel you need to know your not ugly you are beautiful Beautiful both inside and out Beautiful both inside and out Beautiful both inside and out

Sometimes 02:46
lyrics
buy track
I could try to forget you, try not to care I could try not to dream of your long flowing hair but sometimes, sometimes it's best not to try at all I could try not to love you, try not to need you I could try not to open doors hoping to see you but sometimes, sometimes it's best not to try at all This just may be another no win kind of day I know I should move on but I just have to stay I could try not to want you, try not to cling I could try to pretend that you don't mean a thing but sometimes, sometimes it's best not to try at all I could try not to love you, try not to need you I could try not to open doors hoping to see you but sometimes, sometimes it's best not to try at all but sometimes, sometimes it's best not to try at all

No Hope for Mends 04:19
lyrics
buy track
No Hope For Mends I cried myself to sleep Suppose that I would rather be counting sheep Yesterday was too much to bear With the thought of losing you out there Awoke to fractured dreams How I wish that we could be a recurring theme. Breathe in deep. Release real slow It hurts my bones to think that you'll never know. Tortured and tortured You've got me tortured again Staggering through this haze Just don't believe that this is a passing phase. You've penetrated my defense And left me with no hope for mends Tortured and tortured You've got me tortured again Tortured and tortured You've got me tortured again I cry myself to sleep Suppose that I would rather be counting sheep For this day was too much to bear With the thought of losing you Out there

Whenever You're Around 03:03
lyrics

I see the shining stars in your eyes I'm Mesmerized like I've never been Whenever you're around Like I've never been Whenever you're around You had me from the very first hello But now I dread the second that you'll have to go Away for three years or maybe four I swear I'd wait for your return at your front door Where hopefully you'll understand Without too much review Don't need to have a PhD To know I adore you I see the shining stars in your eyes I'm Mesmerized like I've never been Whenever you're around Like I've never been Whenever you're around You're a professional in everything you do But now you have to take your practice where you're going to I know that things will never be the same But in my heart you will always remain Hopefully you'll understand Before our time is through Don't need to have a PhD To know I adore you I see the shining stars in your eyes I'm Mesmerized like I've never been Whenever you're around Like I've never been Whenever you're around Like I've never been Whenever you're around

Seventeen 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Standing all alone like a tree whose friends have just been blown down I can't believe how quickly things can change from day to day or breath to breath I hope for all the best for you in every little thing you choose to do If I had my way I would be seventeen again Seventeen again I know it sounds cliché But I'd love to be Seventeen again Seventeen again Always trying to dodge all the obstacles that pop up like a frog does After the rain when the worms are wiggling on the road You told me not to be so bold, have to keep you satisfied so I’ll oblige If I had my way I would be seventeen again Seventeen again I know it sounds cliché But I'd love to be Seventeen again Seventeen again Awake way past bedtime counting beats for this most ridiculous rhyme scheme I haven't slept months I've been too busy listening to the sink I think my brain is on the brink of bobbing in something I shouldn’t be swimming in If I had my way I would be seventeen again Seventeen again I know it sounds cliché But I'd love to be Seventeen again Seventeen again If I had my way I would be seventeen again Seventeen again I know it sounds cliché But I'd love to be Seventeen again Seventeen again

Away 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Away Put away those eyes Can't take you looking at me like that Can't take you looking at me Can't take you looking at me like that They say Once in a lifetime you'll find true love But every night there's someone new that I'm dreaming of How can two hearts be as one When one lover wants to run? Away Put away those eyes Can't take you looking at me like that Can't take you looking at me Can't take you looking at me like that They say You're acting foolish, are you insane? That girls the best thing ever to wander down your lane But I can't fake it anymore The game is over we just can't score Away Put away those eyes Can't take you looking at me like that Can't take you looking at me Can't take you looking at me like that How can two hearts be as one When one lover wants to run? Away Put away those eyes Can't take you looking at me like that Can't take you looking at me Can't take you looking at me like that Can't take you looking at me Can't take you looking at me like that

Don't Do It 02:15
lyrics

Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love You kiss me on the forehead as you say goodbye But even with my lids half closed I know you couldn't look me in the eye I've give you many reasons to walk out upset But I don't think this infraction warrants me to feel any regret Bet you think I'm lucky I get kissed at all If you had it your way you would take away my two favorite balls Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love Are you feeling so empowered when you leave that way? I question your intentions what do your actions mean to say? A simple conversation just might suffice Clear the foggy air and melt that big chunk of frigid ice Bet you think I'm lucky that I'm still around If you had it your way you would stick my body in the ground Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love Don't do it no Don't do it to me Don't do it love

All I Want Right Now 03:13
lyrics

I couldn't say I was just thinking about you Cause honestly I've never stopped I love every moment that we spend together and long for the next one to come To hold your hand and kiss your cheek is all I want right now I am broken yet you complete this damaged soul somehow A simple walk was all it took To turn me upside down I found in you Something new That I had never known Could be so true So true I couldn't say I was just thinking about you Cause honestly I've never stopped I love every moment that we spend together and long for the next one to come To hold your hand and kiss your cheek is all I want right now I am broken yet you complete this damaged soul somehow We shared the night Just laying out Watching stars fly by I Felt so young We begun Wish we stayed out till the morning sun Morning sun I couldn't say I was just thinking about you Cause honestly I've never stopped I love every moment that we spend together and long for the next one to come To hold your hand and kiss your cheek is all I want right now I am broken yet you complete this damaged soul somehow I am broken yet you complete this damaged soul somehow

Season of Heartache 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got very few friends Acquaintances, I’ve got plenty But they take, take, take Leaving me feeling empty The handful of precious gems That fill me some kind of purpose Will soon be moving on Soon be moving on The season of heartache is rapidly approaching Spare me your take and your life coaching The autumn leaves, I don’t ever want to see Cause it means that you are truly gone I smile and say That this isn’t really goodbye But I’m a liar if I Don’t admit that I’m a telling you lies I try to remain strong So you don’t feel my pain As you go moving on You go moving on The season of heartache is rapidly approaching Spare me your take and your life coaching The autumn leaves, I don’t ever want to see Cause it means that you are truly gone The autumn leaves, I don’t ever want to see Cause it means that you are truly gone Cause it means that you are truly gone
