Big World
03:42
|

I’m always living in a fantasy
I’m always living in my mind
Imagining all I want to be
Imagining it’s by design
We’re hand to hand & now we’re eye to eye
Lost within each other’s trance
But that’s exactly where I wanna be
But I know I haven’t got a chance
It’s a big world
Such a big world
I can’t understand the man
Going along
Singing my song
It’s got to be part of the plan
Let go let go let go this fantasy
Grab hold of what you got right now
This life this life -- your reality
Your dreams are not some sacred cow
Smiling and nodding looking fully in
But in my heart I’m far away
But that’s exactly where I wanna be
To keep this other life at bay
Sometimes we want the things we
can’t see
Sometimes we want the things we
can
But baby never doubt me
I have a plan – I have a plan

Enemy
03:19
|
|||
I light the match and then I’ll walk away
And let the fire burn
Nothing to lose you know I didn’t come to play
It’s not the life you have it’s the one you learn (earn)
Every day in ways that are big and small
You piece together life you know
But when I catch you staring at me
My other senses start to grow
Am I the enemy
Am I the enemy
Ah ah ah ah ah?
Like Delilah I will cut your hair
And make your body weak
Any resistance strip your essence bare
Could be your losing streak
There’s no one coming here to rescue you
And set your body free
But here’s a table I have set for two
It’s time for me to feed (the need)
OK babe
I release you
Why don’t you run away?
It’s like I’m destined here just to teach you
Why don’t you run away?
Why don’t I want you to?

Living out Loud
04:19
|
|||
I can’t believe what you’re doing to me
Do you want me?
Do you want this…at all?
You were supposed to be a wave upon the ocean
You were meant to be a face among the crowd
Now I am feeling overwhelmed by my emotion
Guess that’s the price I pay for living out loud

Talk to Me
03:15
|
|||
I see you sittin’ right there
It’s like you’re stuck to your chair
It’s like you don’t even see me
Like you’re unaware
Honey that isn’t fair
Now I’m not tryin’ to win
But I’m not tryin’ to lose
Wish I could go over there and slip inside of your shoes
And honey I’d make a move
I’m looking at ya
So don’t be shy
Come over here and baby say hi
Because talk becomes touch
And touch turns to rub
And rub turns to lust
And lust turns to love (repeat)
Talk to me
Uh baby baby baby talk to me
Cause if you talk to me baby then
we won’t be just talking for long
And now you’re looking my way
Don’t you got something to say?
I’m only getting older here
You’re taking all day
Maybe you’ll make a play?
Don’t get too heavy man
Don’t try and overthink
Wish I could go over there
And let our energy sync
And you can buy me a drink
I’m winking at ya
So have no fear
Come over here I’ll buy you a beer

Love
04:24
|
|||
I’ve heard your mantra of mishaps
Your litany of letdowns are bringing me to the ground
You run off plenty with your tale of woe
Well listen honey there’s something that you gotta know
Did somebody hurt you beyond repair?
Did somebody tell you that love’s always fair?
Did somebody lie and tell you it always works out?
Listen honey – here’s what it’s really about:
(Love lifts you up) you drink out of the cup
(Love gets you high) you feel like you can fly
(Love lets you down) you feel like you could drown
But it’s alright you still got enough you still got yourself
I know you’re feeling broken and bruised
I know you’re feeling lost and confused
But no one got nowhere just sitting at home
Pick yourself up and go it along
Well listen honey here’s what it’s really about.
Strung up on a wire
Scared ‘cause it’s so high
Well don't you worry baby
Cause here’s the thing - you've grown some wings
And baby you can fly

Lost
03:26
|
|||
Nobody told me about the way you move
Moved all around me
Like something strange and new
Now I am moving in – to a brand new place
I’ve lost my footing
I’m stepping into space
Messing my mind up messing my mind up
I’m a little lost (repeat)
Nobody told me about the way you move
Moved all around me
Like something strange and new
Now I’m upending all that I’ve put into place
I’m on rocket exploding into space

Love Mathematically
06:22
|
|||
The demographics of love
Are sent from above
Straight to your heart so you can start
The old push and shove
The numbers add up
To fill your cup
You don’t have to try – don’t lie
When your number’s up
In the Census of Love
What love group are you a citizen of?
You and Me
Love Mathematically
Collecting my debt
Let’s place the bet
Numbers are set – don’t let -
Go what you may regret
Statistics of fate
Never run late
We all have a thirst
But we’re cursed
Love’s the best & the worst
If love is an art
I think math plays a part
But where do I start?
Baby don’t break my heart.
Chorus:
You and Me
Love Mathematically

Photograph
04:01
|
|||
You are the moon
You rise and shine and then
You leave us much too soon
You are the sun
You rise and shine and light
The world for everyone
Picturing you
I close my eyes and that is all I got to do
You outta know
Thoughts of you they follow me where I go
You are my photograph
You make me smile make me laugh
You are my photograph
Here too soon and gone too fast
You are the light
Encompassing and baby I feel your might
You are the dark
Surrounding me but baby
And honey I still feel the spark

Let me show you how to kill me
First you gotta close the door
And sit down on the bed
It’s time for me to explore
Move in really slow
Whisper in my ear
Givin’ shivers of delight
Mixed with just little fear
That’s how you kill me everytime
Don’t bite (hard)
Love is the perfect crime (2X)
Now move closer to my face
And stare deep into my eyes
Umm pull those lips right in
I’ll try them on for size
Fingers movin’ on their own
A little puppet play
Baby I’m caught inside your web
My brain’s got nothing left to say
Chorus:
That’s how you kill me every time
Don’t bite (hard)
Love’s the perfect crime (2X)
Hands are on my hips so low
Seeking while our lips collide
Exploring me so very slow
Sensations like I’ve never known
Push me till I can’t take no more
Till I’m about to die
Then tease me just a little more
Till tears roll out my eyes
Chorus:
That’s how you kill me every time
Don’t bite (hard)
Love is the perfect crime (2X)
This is risky - You are tricky
I get twisted - can’t resist it
That’s how to kill me every time - Don’t bite
