1. Sundrenched World

Verse:

I Can't Get to bed

But I'm Really Tired

The things in my head

you used to admire In Your

Sundrenched World

It Couldn't Be Worse

Don't bother asking

and here comes the nurse

while I'm trying to bask in your

Sundreched World

Chorus:

I'm Talking to you,

But You're not listening

I Don't know what to do

My Heart is a blistering

Writing this song

Tell me I'm not a wrong

Verse:

I close up my mouth

When you're around, I'm

Suffocating in doubt

I can't make a sound in your

Sundrenched world

I always wanted to be

the one you looked to for the

answers in me

I'm the one who took you to your

Sundrenched World

Chorus:

I'm Talking to you,

But You're not listening

I Don't know what to do

My Heart is a blistering

Writing this song

Tell me I belong

Bridge:

It's all Been Said once before

we fucked around on your kitchen floor

Chorus:

I'm Talking to you,

But You're not listening

I Don't know what to do

My Hands are a blistering

Writing this song

Tell me I belong

Tell me I Belong

Tell me I,

Tell me I Belong

2. Star Mile

Capo on 2

Verse:

Old Doubt and a Girl By Your side

She's feeling your pride, as you go for a ride

Down the star Mile

Worlds Rise as she lets you come in

Duo Begins to the Hollywood din

Of the lonely

Chorus:

And All the Gold Dust in her eyes

Won't reform into rain

You had and lost The One Thing

You Kept in a safe place

Remember the Face

The Girl Who Had made you her own

And how you left her alone

Verse:

All's well at the base of the hill

You Might need to fill, a perscription to kill

Off the sirens

Look down from your tower on the high

And Take in the night, Look her right in the eye

She'll Listen

Chorus:

And All the Gold Dust in her eyes

Won't reform into rain

You had and lost The One Thing

You Kept in a safe place

Remember the Face

The Girl Who Had made you her own

And how you left her alone

Bridge:

Life Comes to those that'll choose

The regular news over playing the blues

With the light on

Chorus:

And If you burn the road that'll lead you,

back to her in time

I'll watch you turn to stone,

I can't find the sublime

She's Moving On Without you

The Tide breaks, You watch the star fake,

They gather you back to their home

I guess it's better than being alone

3. Everything'll Be Alright (Will's Lullaby)

Capo On 4

Verse:

Way Down, In New York Town

Thinking 'bout the way she loved me

There's a hole in my pocket that's about her size

But I Think Everything is Gonna be alright

Yes, I Hope Everything Is Gonna Be Alright

Verse:

A Smiling Face Is trade in L.A.

For gifts found at the bar

Well, I wish my car could drive to her Tonight

Then I'd Know Everything, Is Gonna Be Alright

Yes, Then I'd know, It'd be Alright

Verse:

The Rain in New Orleans Forgot to end

But the mouths of the people are dry

And We Watch and Wait, and do nothing but sigh

And Hope that Everything is gonna Turn Out Right

But I Don't know, If It'll be Alright

Verse:

But I Look at you, warm in your dream

While Your mobile dances above

And I think to myself, It's a beautiful Night

And I Know Everything Is Gonna Be Alright

Yes, Now I Know, It'll Be Alright

4. These Photographs

Verse:

You're Sylvia Plath, As you drift from the bath

I hand you a robe and so it goes, the moment had passed

you're Simone De Bouvoir as you get out the car

The way You read me, no one can see me, it's who you are

Chorus:

These Photographs keep me alive

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long, to find, in your eyes

My Best Surprise

Verse:

You're Nina Simone, when you talk on the phone

You sing to me and I'm truly no longer alone

You're Mary Cassat, when people tell you you're not

You're like a child, all the while I need you a lot

Chorus:

These Photographs keep me alive

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long, to find, in your eyes

My Best Surprise

Bridge:

And I want to know what you know

And I want to go where you go

Chorus:

These things remind me of,

These things remind me of,

These things remind me of you

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long, to find, in your eyes

My Best Surprise

5. Closer

Capo on 3

Verse:

So We're Alone Again

I wish it were over

We seem to never end

Only get closer to the point

Where I can take no more

The Clouds In your eyes

Down your face they Pour, Won't you

Chorus:

Be the new one burned to shine

I take the blue ones every time

walk me down your broken line

All you have to do is cry

Yes all you have to do is cry

Verse:

Hush My Baby Now

Your Talking is just noise

Only get closer to the point

Where I can take no more

The Clouds In your eyes

Down your face they Pour, won't you

Chorus:

Be the new one burned to shine

I take the blue ones every time

walk me down your broken line

All you have to do is cry

Yes all you have to do is cry

Bridge:

Photographs and brightly colored paper

Are your masks you wear in this caper

That is a life, we walk right into the strife

And a tear from your eye brings me home, won't you

Chorus:

Be the new one burned to shine

I take the blue ones every time

Walk me down your broken line

All you have to do is cry

6. Today

Capo on 3

Verse:

Shoelaces untied

You can dry your eye

Perfect shadows lie

Behind Us

And this is the day I make you mine

The Way your Hair Lies

Sometimes I'm recognized

All the way from these today

On a train

Chorus:

Nothing to say but there's still time

You Are the one, I've been waiting for today

Here Comes the sun, It's been baiting 'morn today

Verse:

Latlely, I've lost my tongue

Today You've found my song

Unknown, our love has grown

Chorus:

I thank God you came along

You Are the one, I've been waiting for today

Here Comes the sun, It's been baiting 'morn today

You Looked right through me, there was no one else

You sat beside me and there became myself,

Today

Today

Solo:

Chorus:

You Are the one, I've been waiting for today

Here Comes the sun, It's been baiting 'morn today

7. Winter

Verse:

I should know who I am by now

I walk the record stands somehow

Thinking of winter

Your name is the splinter inside me

While I await

Chorus:

And I remember the sound

Of your November downtown

And I remember the truth

The warm December with you

But I Don't have to Make this mistake

And I don't have to stay this way

If only I would wait

Verse:

The Walk has all been cleared by now

Your Voice Is All I hear somehow

Calling out winter

Your Voice is the Splinter inside me

While I await

Chorus:

And I remember the sound

Of your November downtown

And I remember the truth

The warm December with you

But I Don't have to Make this mistake

And I don't have to stay this way

If only I would wait

Bridge:

I Could've lost myself

In rough blue waters

In your eyes, and I

Miss you still

Chorus:

And I remember the sound

Of your November downtown

And I remember the truth

The warm December with you

But I Don't have to Make this mistake

And I don't have to stay this way

If only I would wait

8. Someone Else's Life

Capo on 3

Verse:

Somehow, I'm leading someone else's life

I cut her star down, with my knife

And Right now, I still see the way the moon

Plays this tune, though our night's died

Chorus:

My Hands shake, My knees quake

It's every day, the same way

'Cause then came you, Then there's you,

I keep your picture, in my worn through shoes

When there's you, Then came you

When I'm Lost, I look at my picture of you

Verse:

Somehow, I'll make the night our own

Show you every way I've Grown since I met you

And Right now, I'll be the boy in your next song

I'll learn the parts and play along, If you let me

Chorus:

My Hands shake, My knees quake

It's every day, the same way

'Cause then came you, Then there's you,

I keep your picture, in my worn through shoes

When there's you, Then came you

When I'm Lost, I look at my picture of you

Chorus:

If you let me, I'll Show the world to you

Yes, If you let me, I'll know, just what to do

'Cause then came you, Then there's you,

I keep your picture, in my worn through shoes

When I'm Lost, In your Eyes, I see, the way for me

9. Amy's Song

Capo on 2

Verse:

You asked me to write a tune all about

The things that go wrong and then

You asked me to come home soon

To the place where I belong

But you stand on the other side of the line

In this place and you can see me reply

And now this you can't fake

No, this you can't fake

Chorus:

Sometimes, Sometimes, I wanna be,

I scream that I want to be anyone but me

Verse:

And I don't know if I can write about

Chosen Wars, and the things you fear and

I don't know if I can sing aloud

Closing Doors, show me what's real

But I know that I close my eyes

Late at Night, there's only one thing

The Night Showign that she can lie

That you'll fight, show me something

Can you show me something

Chorus:

Sometimes, Sometimes, I wanna be,

I scream that I want to be anyone but me

Bridge:

What do you want me to say?

All I know is Love, It's okay

I'll write what I know

You do the same

You tell me I'm sane

Chorus:

But Sometimes, Sometimes, I wanna be,

I scream that I want to be anyone but me

10. What If you

Capo on 6

Verse:

What If You could wish me away

And What If You spoke those words today

I wonder if you'd miss me, when I'm gone

It's come to this, release me, I'll leave before the dawn

Chorus:

But For Tonight I'll stay here with you

Yes For Tonight I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

Verse:

What If You could hear this song

What If I felt like I belong

I might not be leaving oh, so, soon

Began the night believing I loved you in the moonlight

Chorus:

So For Tonight I'll stay here with you

Yes For Tonight I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

Bridge

I could have treated you better, better than this

Well I'm gone, the songs, your letter, Can't stay in one place

Chorus:

So For Tonight I'll stay here with you

Yes For Tonight I'll lay here with you

But when the sun hits your eyes through your window

There'll be nothing you can do

11. Only You

Capo on 1

Verse:

Looking From the Window above

It's like a story of love

Can You hear me?

Came back only yesterday,

Moving further away

I want you near me

Chorus:

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You

Verse:

Sometimes when I think of her name

when it's only a game

And I need you

Listen to the words that you say,

It's getting harder to say

when I need you

Chorus:

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You

Verse:

This is gonna take a long time

and I wonder what's mine

Can't take no more

Wonder If you'll understand

It's just the touch of your hand

behind a closed door

Chorus:

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You
