Verse

I Can't Get to bed

But I'm Really Tired

The things in my head

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

I'm Talking to you,

I Don't know what to do

 My Heart is a blistering

Writing this song

Tell me I'm not a wrong

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

2. Star Mile

Intro

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)

Intro

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

Intro

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

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

These Photographs keep me alive

Babe, here's your song

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

My Best Surprise

And I want to know what you know

And I want to go where you go

These things remind me of,

These things remind me of you

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

My Best Surprise

5. Closer

Intro

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

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

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

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

And Right now, I still see the way the moon

Plays this tune, though our night's died

It's every day, the same way

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

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

My Hands shake, My knees quake

It's every day, the same way

9. Amy's Song

Intro

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

You tell me I'm sane

I scream that I want to be anyone but me

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

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

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

There'll be nothing you can do

There'll be nothing you can do

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You

 It's just the touch of your hand

 behind a closed door

All I needed for another day

And All I Ever knew, Only You
