Ain't It Better
well you took the time It requires
but it left you cold
saw the signs down the line
with no room to grow
for a sec, thought it'd get
better with time
no baby, that ain't the way
your history's defined
oh darling ain't it better to know
than waste your life trying to get a boulder to float
oh darling ain't it better to go
than keeping it together and living alone
saw the facts, where it's at
sang like a dirge
though you raise the key, change the beat
it only sounds worse
for a sec you forget
to make up your mind
oh baby thats just the way
you wave it good-bye
you've got to let him down
better now than later in time
maybe you should say you're though
before the wedding bells have chimed

Home
after all that you've seen
after where you have been
after noon and your nature's run its course
after songs have been sung
after falling in love
after words in the moments just before
going home
home, memories come to mind
home, frozen in time
no perfect story line
but what you have i know it will suffice
no matter where you may have gone to
( we're going home)
there's a place you still belong to
( we're going home)
on the way that finally brought you
(we're going home)
to the place you still belong to
when the well has run dry
when they’re flashing the lights
when the subtlest signs are sinking in
after paying the check
after taking a breath
laughter fading you slowly will begin
going home
home, memories come to mind
home, frozen in time
no perfect paradise
but what you have i know it will suffice
for better or for worse
the object of your search
is where you come from

Time of Our Lives
you've had the blues for days
true i've been low myself
but it don't seem right
that we spend our nights
sitting by ourselves
gather the goods you need
put on your sunday best
with no good reason
i'll get my keys and
we'll cover this town in red
so call your friends out
and i'll call mine
we'll have the time of our lives
i hear it's going off
down at the local dive
we'll cruise out just when
the usual suspects
signal they've arrived
no need to raise concerns
no need fight the tide
it's been so long since
we let our conscience
stay in for the night
so call your friends out
and I’ll call mine
we'll make it better, by and by
so call your friends out
and i'll call mine
we'll have the time of our lives

Eyes For Only You

Eyes For Only You
fuel to the fire
sparks of desire
come to my window
looking for a place to rest
friction in passing
try to ignite me
my heart is the paper
but you're the only match for me
i have eyes for only you
all other flames in this life will soon
pale as a spark
at the height of noon
i see only you
caught in your high beams
a moth in a lampshade
the light of your beauty
has a way to captivate me
i have eyes for only you
all other flames in this life will soon
pale as a spark
at the height of noon
i see only you
i have eyes for only you
light from your love
filling up my view
as sure as the sun
out shines the moon
i see only you
i see only you

Shine Through
so i see how you're in retreat
you’ve been keeping your love
out of reach, just out of reach
don’t keep your best love
held at a distance, no
don't make your best love
wait for the rest of your life
let your love shine thru
with the best of you
let your heart convey
what you long to say
put it on display for all to see
no limit to the possibilities
when your love shines thru
no one shines like you
oh please, don’t misunderstand
but the world you know will steal the only
fire that you have, the fire that you have
don’t let your best love
sleep in the guest room no
don't make your best love
wait for the rest of your life
let it out, don’t keep it in
even now you can begin to

Down Stream
well you work so hard
but it don't work out
you try to believe
still you have your doubts
you just want something you can be part of
you just want something you can be part of
when you bleed from the heart
and you live off of love
it pains you to find that
you're the only one
you just want someone, you can give your heart to
you just want someone, you can give your heart to
then for the first time in your life
it just feels right
how it's meant to be
and for the first time in your life
it just feels like
swimming down stream
when you've got someone, you can give you're heart to
when you've got something, you can be a part of
when you've got someone, you can give you're heart to
