Rip 03:35
I'm thinking there's no way to change our situation and I'm hoping that this whole thing will be over soon you told me "maybe there's a way that you can get through to me, but then again why would I want you to. I don't even want you, I don't even want you" Don't run me down don't even try to make it sound like you care because I know that you don't don't make me wait for it baby rip it out rip it out rip it out rip it I don't know why you would wanna prolong this, I know it's over too as a matter of fact I believe I'm a little sick of you soon enough is just too late, any longer is just too long but then again from a certain point of view you know it's already over it's already done Don't run me down don't even try to make it sound like you care because I know that you don't don't make me wait for it baby rip it out rip it out rip it out rip it you lie to me over and over and I try to believe you but you're tearin' my heart out you're tearin' it out Don't run me down don't even try to make it sound like you care because I know that you don't don't make me wait for it baby rip it out rip it out rip it out rip it

Calypso 05:36
The feeling is so much stronger now it’s intoxicating Since I crash landed on your shore My strength escapes me now I can’t break free And there’s no one to blame but you I could blame it all upon these things, but there’s one thing that really captures me I blame it on your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes Blame it on your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes You’re a real modern day Calypso in disguise And you keep pulling me like the moon pulls in the tide Just my imagination taking off again But I really thought this could be real I would’ve held you tight ‘til the end of time But I think tonight this all goes down in flame I blame it on your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes Blame it on your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes Oh and you’re a real modern day Calypso in disguise You keep pulling me like the moon pulls in the tide Your song still calls me from far away Oh your song still calls me from far away Oh your song still calls me from far away Blame it on your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes Oh your beautiful gold-leafed pink rose petal eyes You’re a real modern day Calypso in disguise You keep pulling me like the moon pulls in the tide Calypso in disguise, you keep pulling me like the moon pulls in the tide

In this dream that I live in, I can’t remember who I am So I fall to you and I remember who I am In my darkest hour, I turn to you again I am emptying this glass for the last time And in this dream that I live in, I can’t remember who I am So I fall to you again forgetting everything I am Like a vice, you hold me right here with you Like a love, you take me further than I’ve ever been Like a dream, I can’t imagine anything more real But still like a candle burning slowly, you are dying my friend In this dream that I live in, I can’t remember who I am So I fall to you again forgetting everything I am So save your next amen

I’ve been sinking through the sand Waiting for you to rescue me With you I have always felt alone Just waiting for the end to come and set me free Now that you’re gone, I’m finally complete I can now see that I’m so much better off alone I’ve been swimming through the sun Just to satisfy your every endless need I’ve had the power all along to make all of this stop to put an end to you Now that you’re gone, I’m finally complete I can now see that I’m so much better off alone Now that you’re gone I can see how much I’ve sacrificed, I’ve wasted time You emptied me of everything Now that you’re gone I’m finally complete

Farewell 06:07
This is nothing but a farewell to someone that I used to be No feelings of pain have overtaken me And this man inside the mirror cannot hate me anymore Though darkness is creeping over as the world is turning in The Sun will rise tomorrow New love will begin So say goodbye if you care Because I’ll be deep inside a memory of a time when the world was not so empty No feelings of pain are overtaking me There has got to be something real out there and I’ll find it if it takes forever Though darkness is creeping over as the world is turning in (If it takes forever) The Sun will rise tomorrow New love will begin Though darkness is creeping over as the world is turning in The sun will rise tomorrow New love will begin New love will begin New life will begin A new life will begin

If we could stay in this moment forever We might feel something eventually Now is the time, we haven’t got forever So let’s make something of what we have But here we are, we haven’t got forever We’ve only got right now and it’s slipping away She will fall for me eventually She might love me in the end So let’s make something of what we have If we could stay in this moment forever We might be something eventually But now is the time, we haven’t got forever So let’s make something of what we have And in the end We might feel again

My mind’s eye is the sculptor of all my life’s desire And I’ve seen a glimpse of a place where I could be your everything So reach in deep and pull out everything that you’ve ever wanted I can make them come to life, I can make them real so Come take me now, what are you waiting for Take me away somewhere, where I can be your everything There’s a place deep within my mind with colors never seen with a human’s eye I don’t know what to call this life, but I know that here we could have a beautiful one Come take me now, what are you waiting for Take me away somewhere, where I can be your everything (It’s so beautiful, there’s a place it’s so beautiful In my mind, there’s a place it’s so beautiful In my mind, there’s a place it’s so beautiful, I can see it In my mind, there’s a place where I can be your everything Come take me now, what are you waiting for Take me away somewhere, where I can be your everything Oh I can be your everything I know there’s a place where I could be your everything A place where I could be your everything

Take a breath I’m divin’ in I don’t care if it’s a sin Open up to love again It’s been a while for me too Take this step but don’t walk away I know you want to believe in me So take my breath, take it all away It’ll be okay, I promise you Can you learn to love like you’ve never been hurt And open up and try to feel, to feel that way, to feel that way again I know you’ve been here before I can see it in your eyes Don’t you dare be afraid This doesn’t have to end bad Can you learn to love like you’ve never been hurt And open up and try to feel, to feel that way, to feel that way again Only you can make me feel this way

Taken 04:54
I ran into you late that night on the wrong end of it all I know it should’ve been me there with you all along I guess the words to say were too hard for me to say And now I’m man enough but I’m too late And you’re taken And I’m moving on And I’m feeling The things I should’ve done were left undone How did I get so mixed up in all of this It’s everything I can do just to keep from falling Girl will you love me too When I know that there’s no catching you Because you’re taken I must be moving along And I’m feeling I’ve got so many things that are left undone Now you’re taken And I must be moving along And I’m feeling I don’t wanna leave these things undone
