Keep your aces up your sleeve
When the temperature's rising
And the air's getting harder to breathe

And remember when to leave
Without leaving traces
Only a child leaves his footprints all around
Not caring if he's found out loud
And only a fool or a child show

Well hello there
Good old friend of mine
You've been reaching for yourself for such a long time
There's so much to say
No need to explain
Just an open door for you to come in from the rain

It's a long road
When you're on your own
And someone like you
Will

Don't wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
You might find you didn't want it at all
And don't go lookin' far love to come
Or then it might find you
And then when it finds you
You might wish that you had never been born <

I wake up and see
The light of the day
Shining on me
Make my own time
It's mine to spend
Think to myself
My own best friend
It's not so bad all alone
Comin' home to myself again
Now I understand
Whatever I feel is whoever I am
Watching my life

I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe
The meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never meant to end

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
And somebody's heart gets broken
Usually it's mine
I

You`re not like anybody I ever knew
But that don`t mean that I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go to far, `cause
No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doing someone more
Trading in the pass

You and me
We've traded hearts
I guess that's how
It always starts out
And then I guess it always ends

Look at us
(now)
Sayin'
I don't think that you and me
Can just be friends
Maybe this is how the whole thing
Has to just end

And if we could

Shy as a violet

All of us start from the same place
With an open ticket and an awful lot of space to grow in
And all of us go
But some of us go further
'Til it gets hard
Getting back where we came

Even tho' I'm as
Shy as a violet
Most people don't pleas

Sometimes late at night

Sometimes late at night you say you love
Even if you don't well I guess that it don't matter
Very much it all
Sometimes it don't matter… it all

Fairy times you just so far to love me
I don't know who you are
And I wonder till I put you ther

Steal away again

Baby won't you come and take me by my hand
Won't you come and take me for a ride
We almost got to Disneyland one night
It was abandoned in the light
And then the wind blew in Whisperin"
Some folks are not meant to win
Tell me how would you like i

If you don't believe what i say
You won't believe i'm not that way
And i never meant to turn the hurt around
I would be a fool to lose the love i'd found
And if you take me back, i'll let you know

I'll be stronger than before, i will love you even more
Oh, i'll take you

Sweet Alibis

Can't take no mare of your sweet alibis
Yesterday's lies
Friendless goodbyes
I've had my fill of sweet alibis
When I look in your eyes
It's driving me crazy

Four in the morning and I hear you coming in
I'm trying to pretend
I don't know whe

Until the next time

I'm not supposed to feel this way
You'd think I'd know a whole lot better
But it sure feels good lyin' here next to you, babe
You make me do all the things I've wanted me to

And I'm not supposed to call your name
You'd think by now I'd realize

You And Me (We Wanted It All)

You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all
Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days
We wanted it always

You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high
Never giving in, certain we could win that prize
I should have seen

You don't know me
If you did
You would know if I loved you
Part of it's trust
And part of it's just being
When you loved me
Did you know
How I lived my life for you
Part of me died
And part of me just cried out
Say goodbye now
Don't lie anymore
Whe

You're moving out today

I stayed out late one night and you moved in
I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in
May I remind you that it's been a year since then

Today the landlady, she said to me (what did she say?)
You're looney friend just made a pass at me (slap
