Mean 03:49
Tell me pretty baby why you treatin' me mean You're the meanest baby that I ever have seen Is there something in the water that is not so clean Tell me pretty baby why you treatin' me mean Cause there's some people talking and it ain't that good Seems that you ain't doin' what you think you should Maybe it would help me if I understood Cause there's some people talking and it ain't that good I been thinkin' lately that it's time to go There's a lot of sadness that we never should know You know I would reconsider if you just say so But I been thinkin' lately that it's time to go

Time 05:07
At the edge of the night There is darkness creeping in And it holds us in fear In its spell Far beyond there's a light That can tame the darkest night And it will as far as I Can tell And the secret and the short cut It was always just a lie There is only one conclusion And it's right before your eyes Time I am flying, I am falling There's a world upon me now It would help if I could just Understand It's the balance on a tight wire That can almost drive you mad Like the difference in depression Or maybe just profoundly sad Time At the edge of the night There is darkness creeping in And it holds us in fear In its spell Call the doctor, call the lawyer Book the fastest outbound plane Hold a sermon, take a survey Does anybody know my name? Check his heart rate - his condition He's now in the hands of time ... Time

Flow 04:10
for once in your life, your answer is clear and all at once you do away with other people's obligated pain and fear the time is at hand but time's on my side i think it's time to take advantage of this chance to take a brand new day out on a midnight drive i'm dancing under starlight i'm howling at the moon if i never get back to all the pushing and the shoving it'll be too soon you can call me crazy i can let that go cause only one aim is gonna hold my attention now am i in the light of ... flow little baby shakes his rattle he's just breathing in the zone oh, if only we could listen to the rhythm of the music that he calls his own blind man hears the tapping of the rain a mile away must it always be the cost, does it take such a loss for us to hear that way? i'll turn off my television till they broadcast any truth i will trade my years of wisdom for the wonderment of youth i will open up my mind until there's only room to grow and find me one path within a promising direction to put me in the light of ... flow any power that's guiding me put me where i want to be high above where i can see and shadows don't fall over me hold me in the healing light i will not put up a fight i wish i may, i wish i might find myself in flow tonight give it up, give it up, get it off, give it over now if it don't serve you well all of us are free to make our own little heaven or drag this life through hell if we are authors of our stories, then i know how mine will go and i will surely dedicate the rest of days to break through any stagnant haze take a long, hard look at my old ways and focus on how i can raise ... flow

Too Far Away 05:25
Standing at the airport, but the city's lost on me I'm carrying more baggage than anyone can see My heart is weighing heavier than I could ever say All for but one reason: you are just Too Far Away Don't know how I got here or where my future lies The man that I once used to be now I hardly recognize Feels like I've been handed someone else's bill to pay And what I can't afford is you are just Too Far Away Then suddenly I feel you Like sunshine through the rain And I must reconsider Why I carry all this pain Could it be this peaceful place I feel is here to stay So anywhere you are isn't All that far away Then suddenly I feel that Sea of Kindness over me And I remember this is how Love is supposed to be Could it be I'm headed to A new and brighter day Where anywhere you are isn't All that far away Home again, I always love the feel of my own bed You being here beside me calms the fires in my head And though you're right here, near me, there is one more thing to say Come here darlin' now, it's been long and you're just Too Far Away
7.
an endless night and then again, it's just a blink of an eye from this height, you can hear broken dreams and angels cry time rolls on relentlessly, just like its always been when love is gone pick up the pieces and move on again move on whatcha gonna do with the time you're given? whatcha gonna make of your word and name? whatcha gonna make of your situation when no one is left to blame where you gonna run when the sky is falling? whatcha gonna do when your time is done? how you think we look from another planet? what if this was all in fun? whatcha gonna say, did it really matter? what they gonna say in a hundred years? whatcha gonna leave as your final answer? was it worth the pain and tears? whatcha gonna do when your children call you? whatcha gonna leave as a legacy? who you gonna call when you're feeling lonely? what if it was meant to be? soul in flight and then again, that's where it always stays from this height you can see healing light and brighter days time stands still and with your heart you see the road you're on stay until the beating shows you love is never gone hold on

Monkey Do 05:13
There's a bit of tension rising in the air Both of us are feeling that the other don't care Instead of saying something that we need to hear We're filling up the silences with pain and fear So you got your jacket and you got your bag You're shaking off the memory of a dream you had One foot in the door - guess you're gonna go I believe there's something that you oughta know Baby, we may never have this chance again Turn around, you might just be my only friend So there's a little game I would show to you It's called ... Monkey See, Monkey Do Baby, let's consider where it's gotta start I can feel the answer in the beat of my heart You can show me yours, I will show you mine Anything short would be a waste of time Can you feel the rhythm when it's driving you You can just assume that it is driving me too We can only be who we're gonna be Never should that call for an apology Maybe I have not made my intentions clear yet But as you see, I'm working here without a net Cause that's the only thing that I know to do When it's ... Monkey See, Monkey Do You take one deep breath And let it out slow Tell me, pretty baby Where you want this to go Take my hand Hold tight because It's only gonna matter Like you say it does Lean on me Look me in the eye Gather all your fears And kiss them all goodbye Open your heart Let Love in Take it to the top And do it all again There's a brighter day that could be breaking through All of it depends on what the two of us do Hopefully respectful in the name of Love And mindful of exactly what we're capable of Opening your heart was never lost on me I am thankful for the opportunity You can feel safe - never on a shelf I will have your back so you can be yourself I would tell you something just for clarity I was hoping you might want to be with me And we can show the world how to see it through And call it ... Monkey See, Monkey Do

From Here 04:44
i can feel we're at an impasse we don't quite know what to do you can see a storm is brewing baby, all i see is you i am overing your borders can no longer keep it in there's a wall around your castle take it down, i'm coming in i will swim inside your waters i will climb your mountains high baby, i will face your army i am quite prepared to die you can kill me with a gesture you can take my breath away i am dying to be near you there is nothing left to say there is only one conclusion i can see baby you are gonna share yourself with me i've been standing here a lifetime i've been waiting for a sign i believe that you can heal me turn my water into wine baby, put your hands upon me let me feel your gentle touch let me lose myself inside you i am wanting you so much for the chance to stand beside you there is nothing i won't do everything i have become i am now offering to you take away my polished armor i don't need it anymore take my heart, i'll leave it open you are what it's beating for cause i know that i can take away your fear girl, if you could only see yourself from here ... i can feel we're at an impasse we don't quite know what to do you can see a storm is brewing baby, all i see is you

I had no plan or place I needed to go to But now I find myself here Standing before you And there's this place in my heart I would show you Do you think, Darlin' You could let me in? I had not been in the Market for romance Nor did I need someone to save me Or a second chance But lately I can see myself In a slow dance With a woman I could Call a friend So put the water on For a chai or two Baby I will build a fire While I talk to you Cause there's this undeniable Place for two That's been growing stronger Every day Now I don't want to change Or interfere With any plans you made Or goals that you're holding dear But if I could just whisper In your ear There is something I would Like to say É That if you breathe in I will feel it And if you call my name out loud I will hear it And when you tell me the truth I'll believe it You can do anything you wanna do And if you're lonely I will be there And when you need your space I'll get out of your hair And when we figure it out I will be fair Cause I wanna try to see this through Darlin' I think I'm in love with you I think I'm in love I had no plan or place I needed to go to But now I find myself here Standing before you And there's this place in my heart I would show you Do you think, Darlin' You could let me in?

morning sun - i'm already up thinkin' about that girl email note - three little words like a shot heard round the world heard round the world like a shot heard round the world ah ... i miss that girl coffee gone - start my day write me a song or two close my eyes - lost in a thought takin' me back to you right back to you every road leads back to you what's this dreamer to do? i don't need no intervention i am doing fine i'm living to my heart's content and i'm ... just thinkin' bout you traffic jam, here i am looks like a parking lot bitter, angry and frustrated few of the things i'm not oh, no i'm not not with all this love i got helps when times run hot memories of our last encounter linger in the air i sing myself this grateful little prayer: if there's a god above, i'd like to thank her for this instant a moment's grace, a healing touch and all that lies between until the end of time there will remain a fire burning to celebrate this moment and to learn what it could mean ... day is done, had some fun so much to see and do grand adventures to be had wishing them all on you wish them all on you i'd love to share in one or two see where it leads us to ... i have no need to hold this flower tightly in my hand i like the way you're growing on me and ... i'm thinkin' bout you

i don't represent the views of any hidden, unknown sponsors in fact i can't imagine mass appeal for anything i'd say i don't believe i'm jaded or over-cynical in nature but surely lessons shaped me to the man i am today i have landed safely between comfortable and cautious i've even thanked the skies for the emotional reprieve that being said, i've stumbled on a startling discovery and it seems to be the feint sound of my heart inside of me i apologize for the inconvenient timing it seems that neither of us can afford to take a fall but before you board that plane that takes you far across the ocean this little notebook might just say it all you told me once it's easier if my words were less romantic i'm happy to accommodate your twisted little ears i am lost in thought about your teeth marks on my shoulder ... your stifled breath, your lower back, damn, i wish that you were here what am i to do with all this cat hair on my sweatshirt? what am i to do with all this bluegrass in my ears? how do i find hope when it no longer springs eternal? how do i regroup and change gears? how do i sleep soundly with no knife under my pillow? how do i remember all those words to sam mcgee? what am i supposed to find while reaching for your shoulder? what am i supposed to do with me? i don't represent the views of any hidden, unknown sponsors in fact i can't imagine mass appeal for anything i'd say

You can come You can go You'd think by now I'd learn to let it go In the end What's to show? Who's to know? You can blame It on me I'm only asking for your honesty And your heart If it's free Guess we'll see I sat down to write this song today But I'm finding out I miss you more than words can say And they don't seem to mean a thing anyway if it's true ... So you've heard Once or twice That Love is compromise and sacrifice I say no Bad advice It keeps us on ice Find the Joy In your heart Don't ever let the world take that apart And you'll see From the start A great work of art I still believe that we could have it all And you'll never learn to fly with fear that you might fall Now the Universe is sending a wake up call just for you ... Darlin', what you gonna do? Truth shines brighter than the light of day Just like trusting and acceptance aren't just words to say Tell me, what does this life mean anyway to you? Why am I missing you? Why am I missing you? I should be kissing you Why . . . ?

Love & Fear 04:42
i tell you of a time it was a beautiful time people dancing everywhere was never any doubt to what it's all about love and music filled the air and the sound came out like boom, boom, boom cause their hearts were beating louder than the troubles that were left behind and any thoughts to love one another as your sister and your brother were the only ones that came to mind let's talk about the Fear and how we brought it here it's something we should understand it seems that in the name of protection we have poisoned our connection to the welfare of our fellow man where it was thoughtfully in fashion to be guided by compassion no one found themselves in need but when doubt made us scared about the very things we cared about we opened up the door to greed when we take our pride and livelihood and sell it overseas and we compromise our freedom by a matter of degrees till the dreams we had believed in are now driven to their knees what's the game? you can do the math on what is saved and what is spent when our sacred holiday becomes a marketing event seems we cannot pay attention like we cannot pay the rent who's to blame? can we talk about a child born free and wild with everything to lose or gain if the future he'll inherit comes from what our actions merit maybe we should keep it sane dr frankenstein's elated at the monster we've created cause it paints him as a boy scout but if Love isn't driving the system that's surviving then it might be time to throw it out
