Not allow to fall 04:06
lyrics
buy track
There are things in life that everybody knows but nobody tells you. There are times you try to be all you can be when no one's around. When you're far away and all I know is how you make me feel when it's not everyday that we get to talk for real when their smiles say that everything and everyone is happening and having fun but I… I'm not allowed to fall for you There are things in life that everybody wants to have but nobody takes home there are places we hold sacred clothed and naked that we never reveal When I'm far away and all I know is how you laugh when it's not everyday that i get to hear that when the game we play for everything and everyone is working out and having fun but I… I´m not allowed to fall for you Days will come when you feel you're the only one who's ever felt this way Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com when I'm gone from home it may seem that love is just a price to pay Sometimes the things around us we forget until they're gone sometimes it hurts so bad that we can't hide it from anyone sometimes we need a song to help us remember remember me please remember me 'Cause when i'm down and out there's nothing left for me to do and when familiar places just make me miss you just know the truth may be that everything and everyone is hurting too and nothing's fun but I… I'm not allowed to fall for you I'm not allowed to fall for you

Four-Leaf clovers 04:19
lyrics
For every place that you've taken me that you never tried to for every time that I couldn't speak now I'll tell the truth for every moment I spent with you that you didn't know for every smile that I gave you that had no place to go I see your face in my mind caressing four-leaf clovers soft and fine I see your face all the time with lips like thornless roses and blood red wine For everything that you gave to me that ever remained for everything I will promise you that is not in vain for all of the sonnets and poetry I wrote in your eyes for every morningless sunrise and every moonlit sigh Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I see your face in my mind caressing four-leaf clovers soft and fine I see your face all the time with lips like thornless roses and blood red wine I won't ever give up although all that i was eclipsed the droning buzz of bees in the flowers in the field of my dreams I drink what's in my cup but it's never enough nothing's thick and precious as swallowing you I see your face in my mind caressing four-leaf clovers soft and fine I see your face all the time with lips like thornless roses and blood red wine with lips like thornless roses and blood red wine

When the world looks away 04:32
lyrics
I hear the future calling though the sky is falling chicken little says if heaven holds suggestions it's mouth is full of questions that won't go away what if everybody knew that the choice would fall to you when the world looks away The hallowed hallways echo with all the things we let go that won't come back The crippled constitution in it's newfound destitution has everyone under attack What if everybody knew that the choice would fall to you tell me what are we to do when the world looks away All I see is fallen trees heavy with uncertainties we're not righteous we're not right this will never be my fight All the steps we've taken policies forsaken in the name of truth what will be left for us if the lonely can't count on you what if everybody knew that the choice would fall to you tell me what are we to do when the world looks away

What´s for real 04:35
lyrics
In the half-light I can feel you staring at him fascinated by the windowsill in the half-light I can feel you but I can't go I know i never will But I know how I feel This is my life ever after I am waiting unrequited unadoring ever after i am waiting by the doorway dissipating I fall to the floor But I know how I feel and I know what's for real Walking with you i could let go with my eyes closed but dilated I can hear you Can you hear me as I beg you to take me with you somewhere better Please don't leave me here 'Cause I know how I feel and i know what's for real 'Cause I know how I feel and i know what's for real

Too heavy to fly 03:44
lyrics
It's so hard to sit and watch you give it all away ‘cause I pay for it everyday If I knew the shifting shibboleth I would pray on my knees by the river banks Everything will turn around all my dreams will hit the ground like a bird in flight whose heart's suddenly too heavy to fly It takes all i've got to lift my head on the days that you say that you're leavin' I seek clarity in rosemary facing east to the breeze that will clear my mind Everything will turn around All my dreams will hit the ground like a bird in flight whose heart's suddenly too heavy to fly Fly After all the time you've been away you might think I would sink and surrender Though the weary miles are in my eyes there's a flame that the pain can't put out Everything will turn around All my dreams will hit the ground What we lost will be found like a bird in flight Whose heart's suddenly too heavy to fly Fly

All I know of love 03:44
lyrics
The years will teach me what the days don't know the sky is heavy the clouds are hanging low the fields are fallow with seeds that never grow and all that lies ahead is nothing new ‘Cause all i know of love i learned from you My fears have shown me where your valor hides the air is splitting with all your eyes belie and in our backyard a crow is cawing wild when all i want to hear is something true ‘Cause all I know of love I learned from you ‘Cause all I know of love I learned from you all I know of love I learned from you If tears will follow what will you decide I'm drawn and hollow and it's far too late for pride in the final moments before we end this ride before it's time for me to pay my dues And all I know of love I learned from you ‘Cause all I know of love i learned from you all I know of love

Red White and Blue 03:48
lyrics
On the seven seas of swirling water hope abandoned me after a squall while a gentle breeze licked my face like a lost puppy that no one will call I'm blue day and night I'm blue wrong or right I'm blue red and white but mostly blue Give the sixth degree to anyone who inspires unease as we stand up tall like a lonely tree that's terrified of shedding leaves and fearing the fall I'm blue day and night I'm blue wrong or right I'm blue Red and white but mostly blue What we do to shine it on undermines us when we're gone on our dirty knees we seek the truth but our deities never agree like the forty thieves mouthing off with impunity as they watch us grieve I'm blue day and night I'm blue wrong or right I'm blue Red and white but mostly blue

Flower 05:59
lyrics
I am rising on the wind in the tender face of sin give my gibberish a spin and we will plumb the depths again everything wilts too soon except the flower in you everything is renewed by the flower in you Like the sun seduces clouds you are sure to run me down all the joy I disallowed walks beside me unavowed Everything wilts too soon except the flower in you everything is renewed by the flower in you You're as pretty as mid-june with lingering winter stars and a solstice moon You overwhelm the sun at half-past noon like a thinking man's typhoon Everything wilts too soon except the flower in you Everything is renewed by the flower in you Everything wilts too soon except the flower in you Everything is renewed by the flower in you

I still want you 04:03
lyrics
I see you i need you i forget everything that i told myself i would never do again i fear i won't survive another run-in with you ‘cause everything is just a jumble in my head I still want you i still need you ‘cause i still feel you I didn't know it would hurt this much to spend my days without your touch you know i never could get enough but babe, i still want you The last time I saw you I promised everyone that I would never ever be that weak again But friday was so fine the candles the plum wine I guess some promises are made to be broken Move on move along Come on they say She's gone Just be strong It's another day But I still want you I still need you ‘cause I still feel you I didn't know it would hurt this much to spend my days without your touch you know I never could get enough but babe, I still want you Forever and always you know I can't escape the reveries you tattooed on my memory And maybe it's just me but when we kiss I still see why I didn't ever want to let you go I still want you I still need you ‘cause I still feel you

You were everything 04:28
lyrics
I´ve been practicing silence for one too many a day like resin is to violins your absence makes me fray And all I ever hid behind the clouds will rain on me so proudly what I wanted to say to you is you were everything And now the storm has broken a swarm of what I wouldn't say the only thing that I needed the one thing that kept you away And all I see kaleido-focused In perfect timing past its prime What I wanted to say to you is you were everything Even now my acquiescence leaves me shaken in your presence I was what I thought you'd need saddle up your trusty steed and ride, ride, ride And all the smells and all the sounds are swirling ceaseless ‘round me What I wanted to say to you is you were everything

Pollyanne 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Well he thought that if they fled the world before she began to plead That perhaps his soul would fly instead of hers and when the neighbors heard her parents cry she wasn't in her bed They said she left because she had no middle name Oh pollyanne Oh pollyanne She said a twisted dali lithograph sucked the marrow from her world And gave her many reasons to beware and in the frenzied gas-lit friday light her fears are all aswirl she's waitin' up for you to join her there Oh pollyanne I can never be your man I've tried I don't think I can Ooh pollyanne Pollyanne We still pray for you Pollyanne Walked away for you Pollyanne We stayed awake for you Pollyanne We've not forsaken you When the burnt out stained glass coward's eye slowly drifted low to high She said "I urge you now to get it right with god" They say the door latch slid like a white lie over sunday apple pie when no one else is there to judge your flaws Oh pollyanne I can never be your man I've tried I don't think I can Ooh pollyanne I've tried I don't think I can Ooh pollyanne Ooh pollyanne Ooh pollyanne
