Make Believe
03:29
|

I used to go up to the roof every night
telling myself you were there too
hearing your voice in the cars going by
seeing your face in the moon
It was something real
once a month on the phone
holding onto those two shining weeks
when we met all those years ago
Head in the clouds and feet on the ground
I fell in love with a faraway sound
still can’t explain the solace I found in
make believe, make believe
At the other end of the wire
moved the air in a room
as you lay your clothes on the bed
folding towels in two
All the words you heard in your ear
every one you believed
Then the cloth fell still in your hands
did that voice really come from me?
Head in the clouds and feet on the ground
I fell in love with a faraway sound
still can’t explain the solace I found in
make believe, make believe
and I stood up there alone like a bookmarked bible
looking at the skyline downtown
I stayed as long as I could but I had to come down
Go be a bird, I’ll watch you soar
here with your cage hung by the door
something is lost but some things are more than just
make believe, make believe

Queen Mary

Nothing was enough when I boarded the Queen Mary
I still thought we’d be together like a Nat King Cole song
looking at the water and I already felt cold
maybe that boat was haunted or maybe it was just old
Maybe I’ve held this crutch for too long
I could be here or I could be gone
we’re only feet from falling into our fate
why do we wait? why do we wait?
Plexiglass couldn’t keep the chill off my face
it was easy to imagine all the men who stood here
somebody was singing in the warm hotel bar
I couldn’t believe you might be looking at the same stars
Couldn’t believe the way I grew
started to point away from you
we’re only feet from falling into our fate
why do we wait? why do we wait?
on the ride home your music played
I turned it up to stay awake
hoping at last my love would fade, it would fade
I was so alone when I boarded the Queen Mary
couldn’t understand how I got myself there
thinking of the ending is hard to let go
I could be down below
or I could be on that open sea
if I just pulled my anchor free
we’re only feet from falling into our fate
why do we wait? why do we wait?
we wait, we wait

Circle
03:26
|
|||
I grew up skeptical
the way they taught me
but we've been here before
in different bodies
Be still my love, be still my fear
and with a hand behind her ear
I’ll steal a moment here on earth
and circle back to her
I sought a different dream
that circled round her
my life turned separately
and then it found her
Be still my love, be still my fear
and with a hand behind her ear
I’ll steal a moment here on earth
and circle back to her
and in the end, which is the start
I’ll lay to rest a restless heart
be still in peace below the ground
and circle back around
be still my love, be still my fear
and with a hand behind her ear
I’ll steal a moment here on earth
and circle back to her

Don't Do That
03:09
|

I haven’t been eating right since I left the other night
and you took out your heart
I keep telling you, don’t do that
You put it on butcher block and somehow you couldn’t stop
until it came apart
I keep telling you, don’t do that
but every time I think about forgetting you
something says don’t do that, don’t do that, don’t do that
You didn’t much like the show. I wish you would let it go
don’t take it out on me
I keep telling you, don’t do that
and maybe I’m hard to please, but you keep expecting me
to be somebody else
I keep telling you, don’t do that
but every time I think about forgetting you
something says don’t do that, don’t do that, don’t do that
don’t do that, don’t do
what I’m afraid
what I’m afraid you might do to me
and please
don’t do that, don’t do that, don’t do that
don’t do that, don’t do that
don’t do that, don’t do that

Through the Dark
03:05
|

Through the dark I’ll cast my words out
hoping they don’t break apart
and though words may fail me, I will stay here
loving you through the dark
Every tear you’re crying now
once was morning dew
there’s a cloud upon your heart
love is shining through
love is shining through
Through the dark I’ll cast my words out
hoping they don’t break apart
and though words may fail me, I will stay here
loving you through the dark
and though words may fail me, I will stay here
loving you through the dark
