Last Time

Take some sense
And I'll stumble home
It's been awhile since I've been alone
I'll break some bread
And I'll pour some wine
The conversation will be all mine

But if I wake up with you
It will be the last time
And if I still adore you
It will be the last time
And if I stumble to you
It will be the last time

Bits and pieces of the night before
Candle wax lying on the floor
Scraps of paper you're not meant to find
A broken clock still telling time

But if I wake up with you
It will be the last time
And if I still adore you
It will be the last time
And if I stumble to you
It will be the last time
The last time

There must be something I don't recognize
There's something here I don't realize
A red sun on my windowpane
And next to me I see you again

And if I wake up with you
It will be the last time
And if I still adore you
It will be the last time
And if I stumble to you
It will be the last time oh

Say if I wake up with you
It will be the last time
And if I still adore you
It will be the last time
And if I stumble to you
It will be the last time

I know what you want to know
And I'm just real sorry
But I don't think I can tell you that
Alright, turn it off

Always

I saw a flag wave in the heavens over me
I saw the virgin, for a moment I believed
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved and to love always

I felt my lips move
But the words they were not mine
I heard you crying and for a moment
I could see
You said you'd save me but I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved and to love always

And it's okay I know what's confusing me
I know what I want to see
And I know where I want to be
And an angel was flying next to me
No hesitation, for a moment I was free
And you said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
No I just want to be loved and to love always
I just want to be loved and to love always

Clutch

So there
You got me in your clutch again
So there, so there
I love your touch
And that vodoo that you do so well
It's got me spinning around and round and
So let me in your world
Let me in your world for a while
Let me in your world
So I can sing to you

Oh no
You got me going crazy for you baby
Say oh no
You made me go insane for you baby

So there
You got me in your clutch again oh
This, this living is strange
We count our feelings in yesterdays
But is that how you keep your clutch baby?
Is that how you keep it darlin'?

So let me in your world
Yeah let me in your world for a while
Let me in your world
So I, I can sing to you

Twisted (Never Again)

I know where you live
Yeah I know where I can find you
And I know where you've been
And I know that I've been lied to
Cause I was in the middle of my shower
When I heard your house was falling down
Decided I'd believe it when I see it
And if it was true I'd hear in town
You were probably lighting candles to conspire
And now your house has caught on fire
That twisted house that everybody knew
So I'm never gonna go to never gonna go to
Never gonna go to that place again
No I'm never gonna be there
Cause I don't wanna be there
I'm never gonna go there again
Never again

I know what you are
You're a very special person
And a most interesting person
And you really make me wanna go to sleep
That's why I never wanna see you
I never wanna see you
I never wanna see you again
No I never wanna see you
I wouldn't wanna be you
No I never wanna see you again
Never again

Twisted, you're twisted
I'm never gonna go to never gonna go to
Never gonna go to that place again
No I never wanna be there
I'll never wanna be there
I'm never gonna go there again and
I never wanna see you I never wanna see you
I never wanna see you again
Cause you're twisted so twisted
And I never wanna see you again
Yeah never again

Blind Situation

One, two, three, four
I really feel it

Sometimes I sit alone at night in a blind situation
So many things are running through my mind
In a blind situation

Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I lie?

Hanging out with Shea
And it's a nice day
You know me
It's a blind situation
Should I lie
I'm feeling that yo
It's a blind situation

Sometimes I wonder where my life's at and if it's a
Song is this the right track. My sanity feels like a weak
Box. I'm too weak to fight back
Away from home, where I grow my regular zone now
It's hotels and fold girls with cellular phones
The voice in my head is a talker and the fellow just
Roams. If you call my soul's operator, it'll tell you I'm
Gone. I'm hurtin ya'll. I really feel it.

My world requires a big disguise
It's a blind situation
Leaving you was my sad surprise
It's a sad situation

Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I lie?

I'm feeling that yo
It's a blind situation
Should I lie
I'm hanging out with Shea
It's a blind situation

It used to be about diamonds, now it's walkin on
Clouds with silver linings, seeing Jesus on the stone
Throne shinin. Or is it that second hand weed smoke
From my friends combining? It's ill, friends get killed,
Pain has precise timing. I really feel it.

One, two, three, four
Sometimes I sit alone at night in a blind
It's a blind situation
So many things are running through my mind
It's a blind
Yeah it's a blind situation

Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
It's a blind situation
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
It's a blind situation
I really feel it
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
It's a blind situation
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Hey it's just a thing should I?

Wasting the Rain

Come on baby
We're wasting the rain
Can we stay inside and let the world go on its way
Give me one kiss for every moment that remains
Well come on baby we're wasting the rain yeah

Come on baby and let me see you smile
Cause it's the place on you I love the most
But it's been a while
Those all important things to do outside can wait
Come on baby we're wasting the rain

These days were made for making love
A million tears from up above
Love is like a river
Take some time to keep it flowing
Come on baby and unlock the door
Love can take you places that you've
You've never been before
Somehow the showers only seem to fuel the flame
So come on baby here they come again
Come on baby we're wasting the rain

Shatterwall

I'm all worn out
I've no energy to cry
It was only one hour ago when you said goodbye
Come on and tell me why your answers always stop
When the questions fly

The empty bottles fly
The empty bottles fly
And they fall on shatterwall

They forgot he turned sixteen the other day
He watched his dad walk out without a word to say
From there he only fell apart
There's not much left to tell
And so now he's just a statistic waiting for mail

The empty bottles fly
The empty bottles fly
And they will fall on shatterwall

Shatterwall, shatterwall
They're bound to fall
Shatterwall
Oh, break, break that wall, shatterwall
I want to go to a shatterwall

Isn't It Good

Well I just got home
Finally I'm alone
It's been a crazy day
All this non-stop rushin around
And even in this little bitty town
Everybody's got something to say
I throw my stuff on the floor
And lock all of the doors
Gonna find some peace inside

And isn't it good tonight
Now I'm here everything's all right
Isn't it good tonight
I don't have to leave until the morning light comes down

Now I'm lying here
Nothing to interfere with this dream I have of you
It's you lying next to me
We fit so easily and there's nothing I can't say

And isn't it good tonight
I'm in your arms and everything seems right
Isn't it good tonight
I don't have to leave until the morning light comes down

Isn't it good tonight
I don't wanna move until the morning light baby
Isn't it good tonight
I don't have to leave until the morning light comes down
Oh no, no
Stay by my side

I Can't Lie

It's triple sided tried to ride it
Looked inside it I can't find it
Living in a perfect world
I touched the rocks I touched the stones
It's the little things that break these bones
Livin' in this perfect world

When I can't hide
But even if I tried
I can't lie to you
Just to make you feel better
Uh-uh baby, no no I can't

My recent past has moved so fast
Couldn't keep up fell on my ass
Living in this wind up world
Sick and tired, my card's expired
Why on earth did I get so wired
Living in a perfect world

When I can't hide
Well even if I tried and
I can't lie to you
To make you feel better
I could've lied

Just run quick find a car
No location just drive it far
I said run quick find a car
No location just drive it far, drive it far, drive it far

Drive so far away
And I can't lie
No matter how I try
I can't lie to you
Just to make you feel better baby

I can't lie
No matter how I try
Ican't lie to you
Just to make you feel better
Yeah you make me feel better baby
I wanna feel better

I Love You Too Much

There's a letter I wrote to you on the bathroom sink
It's burning a hole and it's the truth now can you stand it
It's full of words
It's full of love it's full of me
It's full of choices can you stand it
I've entertained your point of view
I've gone so far as to even follow you
Maybe now you'll see yeah you'll see

I love you too much baby
For you to be with me
I love you too much baby
I know you want to be free

There's a giant step between love and understanding
And baby I think you stopped at love
Sooner or later you're gonna have to take me as I am
You're gonna have to learn to hear these sounds
And try to understand, understand

I love you too much baby
For you to be with me
I love you too much baby
I'm gonna set you free yeah yeah

I love you too much baby
For you to be with me
I love you too much baby
Go on and go and be free

I love you too much baby
For you to be with me
I love you too much baby
Go on and go on and go on
Go on and go on and be free

Go on and go on and be free
Go on and go on and be free
Go on and go on be free
I love you too much baby
Can you
Go on and go on and be free
Go on and go on and be free
I love you too much baby
Go on and go on and go on and be free

May Street

Yeah so some of them were kind of a little bit upseting
I guess in the sense of I don't know and all that
Resonates in my mind from time to time when I think
About those times back at May Street

I remember the throwing up against the wall
I remember the glass.
I remember crawling past that glass stained glass.
What was it about that glass.
That glass was the glass at May Street.
Stained glass at May Street.

Oh and the vets and the vets and the Vietnam war
Vets started coming around and sayin' hi.
Getting high at May Street.
They would take about the wars
And talk about the women at May Street.
And crazy conversations ruled down at May Street.
Insane characters proved their theorems at May Street.
Oh and their crazy curriculums to life.

I heard it all at May Street.
Remember it well at May
I remember the times were good and times it felt like hell.
I'm sure you'd agree on May Street.
Going back to May Street.
I'm sure you'd agree on May Street
Going back to May Street

Walk on Rainbows

At night I only walk on rainbows
Wishin they never had an end
So I have thrown away my raincoat
I wanna feel the rain again

Tonight I fell off of my rainbow
And it all turned black and white
I said "Shea you need to wake yourself
Out of this place,
If you fall down for once this time"

Cause you're not gonna break me
Even when you shake me
Even when I run, I run so fast

Wakin' up I saw this blue sky
I had slept the night outside
But then the sun came up to greet me
It was then I realized that I cried

You're not gonna break me
Even if you shake me
Even when I run, I run so fast
No, no, no, no, no, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no no
