Last Train I think that you've heard the last words That I'll ever say to you again I am so tired of singing sweet In the minor key we've lived in for so long I don't want to fight It's high time the two of us say goodnight I bought my train ticket away from here And I don't expect to return So c'mon to the station to wave goodbye Cause it's the last chance that you'll get in this life I don't want a fight It's high time the two of us say goodnight I see the tracks moving so fast And I'm never, ever coming back If you have some good memories I suggest you forget them for me There's nothing left in this one horse town And you'll never find me around again
Second Rate Song Tonight I confess to you Everything I know It may not be that much to you But it’s all I’ve got to show You, how much you gave Right back to me A brand new perspective On the things I couldn’t see Before… Tonight I confess to you Everything I’ve done It might mean nothing to you So turn away and run From everything I have I’ll admit it’s not the best But if you look from the inside here It’s a cut above the rest For you… I wish I could write you the perfect song Sorry, you’ll have to settle for this one I’ll never be the poet I want to be But let me tell you that you’ve showed me Exactly what I needed to see
A Girl I Know Her parents worry about her They never think she's coming home at night They do not believe it when she says Everything is alright She only goes out with her friends Always looking for a good time Does she ever do bad things Well, that stuff is never on her mind How many moments will there be When there's not enough time for you and me Will we ever escape this place and Conquer the human race I don't know if it will be ok She will tell me most anything thing She doesn't keep much from me Still I can't figure her out I guess it's just the way it has to be I'll do anything for her I'll do anything she needs I will try the best that I can Even if I have to leave
Box of Photographs I keep a box of photographs Under my bed Out of sight even though Each one's already burned in my head I keep a box of souvenirs Inside my house In fact, that box is called my room 'Cause it all reminds me of you They whisper of better times and better years And they never talk to me and tell me It's over now I keep a love inside my heart Blocked from the light But everything around me Flashes it back before my eyes It whispers of better times and better years And it never talks to me and tells me It's over now What could make me forget? What could make this emptiness inside of me die? I don't think it can As long as my heart beats and I am alive
Love For Me We are here together And the sun is going down But I don’t feel that good Cause I’m worried about everything around I want you to be happy I want you to have fun I want you to know that You’re my only one If you feel bad then I feel worse If you need anything just say the word I hope you know that you keep me going I could never go on without your love for me I can’t stand to see you Dealing with that pain Believe me if I could I’d take it all away I want you to be happy I want you to stay I want you to know I’ll love you always
Forever & Again Everyday the urge gets stronger To break down and dial your number So I resist and go to sleep But I keep seeing you in my slumber Will I ever see you again in real life? Will I ever feel the way I felt back then? Can I turn this positive? Or will I walk in place forever and again? In my dreams you speak softly About the ways that you will haunt me As if I ever had a choice To escape before you got me
Things She Said Never make the same mistakes With the next one, you said We’re two different people And we’re done, you said I grew up for you Lived and died for you Breathed for you If you wanted me to But my luck caught up And I let you down Lost your trust You’ll start a new life now I want to start a new chapter In my life, she said I want someone else To treat me right, she said Take away the sunset Take away the moon Take away everything that means anything I wish you could see What this is done to me I’d still give it all up for you
Perfect for Me When we first met, I feared you'd see all the things wrong with me 'Cause I knew, inside, I'm not as strong as I might seem But I gave myself over to you completely And I kept hoping That we'd share all the things that life might bring And no matter how imperfect we are I know You're perfect for me There were nights I prayed and still wasn't sure I'd find A love like you at anytime in my life I see you as my matching puzzle piece Now we both know That we will share all the things that life might bring And no matter how imperfect we are I know You're perfect for me
