“On The Run”
You got me, you got me
You got me on the run
To get to you, to fall into
Something new, completely true with you
Oh you got me, you got me
you got me on the run
You’re in the know, you’re in the flow
You’re off the charts, you’re on the go
And I could keep up if you’d let me get in step
Cause I’m always one step behind
Just out of line and reach of you
The flame I carry is the flame I’d bury
If I could just get weary, of chasing you
You got me, you got me
You got me, got me on the run
You got me on the
My life is a stage to you
Like a stage you’re going through
Trifflin and riffilin through my desire
I swear you conspire
To make me shake to make me quake, to make me ache
Oh I wish, I wish the scent of you, would fade from my whims
You got me, you got me
You got me on the run
you got me, you got me
on the run
to get to you , to fall into something completely new
and utterly true with you, you got me on the run
I see the roles you play and the lines you say
You are so much greater, than anyone can see
But you got me, you got me on the run
On the run to you
And the flame I carry, is one I’d bury
If I could only get weary, of chasing you

Waiting Room

“Waiting Room”
I know you’re at my door with
Some sort of confession not
Cold or condemning nor warm
While I’m pretending not to care, as much I do hearing you
Not saying what I’ve been praying for you to
Praying for you to say to me
It’s been a long road
To this waiting room and I’ve been
So patient with you
But if that’s what it takes, takes to love you
That’s what I’ll do, I will wait for you
I will wait for you
On a list of things I’ll never admit
Or ever quit, is my love for you
And when I see that face again
I can’t help but wish and pray
For the day when I will hear you say
Oh what I wish you’d say to me
It’s been a long road
To this waiting room and I’ve been
So patient with you
But if that’s what it takes, takes to love you
That’s what I’ll do, I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Logic is easy
Feelings are hard
This time you are taking, is stolen from my heart
I can’t wait forever
Just feels that way
Oh this waiting game until I hear you say
It’s been a long road
To this waiting room and I’ve been
So patient with you
But if that’s what it takes, takes to love you
That’s what I’ll do, I will wait for you
It’s been a long road
To this waiting room and I’ve been
So patient with you
But if that’s what it takes, takes to love you
That’s what I’ll do, I will wait for you
I will wait for you
(waitin' and waitin', I am still waitin' and waitin'
waitin' and waitin' for you)

“Luwero”
All red dust and memories now, things I didn’t want to believe
But still had to, had to see
Six thousand miles away from safe, but even further from home
I found grace in Luwero
There’s an angel in Luwero, you can confess you sins to
But she won’t absolve you, she’ll just listen
Then she’ll say, “the closest to God, you can ever hope to be
It’s not through me, it’s through an orphaned heart.”
I recall waterfalls. Kneeling in the dirt with bare feet
With millions of people on their knees with me
And I will admit so many things that I know
But I may never disclose, what I learned in Luwero
There’s an angel in Luwero, you can confess you sins to
But she won’t absolve you, she’ll just listen
Then she’ll say, “the closest to God, you can ever hope to be
It’s not through me, it’s through an orphaned heart.”
(Bridge) an orphaned heart, and orphaned heart
All red dust and memories now, things I didn’t want to believe
But still had, had to see
And she’s still Six thousand miles away from safe, but even further from home
The angel in Luwero
(ooos and aahs)
an orphaned heart, an orphaned heart, an orphaned, orphaned heart.

“Under The Gun”
(Da’s)
Better stay pretty, better stay polite
Or no nice man will make you his wife
And who wants to live, that kind of life?
You better stay pretty, better stay polite
Oh under the gun, under the gun
Of a perfect that I’ll never reach,
I’m still under the gun, always under the gun
Of a person that I’ll never be
So I kept my cool and I played by the rules
But my prince charming, never came through
So I learned to love my ugly and weird
Wish you could come to be happy for me here
Oh under the gun, under the gun
Of a perfect that I’ll never reach,
I’m still under the gun, always under the gun
Of a person that I’ll never be
(Bridge)
It’s an indistinct reality and a false eventuality
That if I am myself, I will fail
But I love my ugly, I love my crazy
I wish you could be happy for me here
under the gun, under the gun
Of a perfect that I’ll never reach,
I’m still under the gun, always under the gun
Of a person that I’ll never be
under the gun, oh under the gun
Of a perfect that I’ll never reach,
I’m still under the gun, always under the gun
Of a person that I’ll never be
(da’s)

Silver Screen

“Silver Screen”
When we first met it wasn’t quite
Love at first sight but
It was still a sight to be seen
You were working out your plot line
While my story was moving just fine and
Somethings are just meant to be
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
Yeah, yeah
Well I don’t need a Romeo
Of have the lights just right
I don’t do cameos or throw staged fights
It’s not that kind of storybook life
It’s a comedy with plenty of strife and
I’ve made room for you
By my side
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
Well you’ve got to got to understand that
It’s been a long hard road
For a woman who’s got plans
So if tomorrow does betray us
Today is on our side
I don’t need you to lead me baby
Just sit with me, enjoy the sunrise
The sunrise yeah
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
And I said would you be my romantic lead
You could play opposite of me
So perfectly
If you were mine and I was your romantic lead
We could write that happy ending
Just like on the silver screen
If you were mine and I was your romantic lead
Woah oh woah ooooh
(yeah)

Halfway

“Halfway”
I would rather be a shark than a starfish
I would rather never stop than ever stay still
I would rather be kind than clever
I would rather be your muse than your lover
Cause I can’t live this life halfway
I couldn’t live my life that way
I can’t live this life halfway
I couldn’t live my life no way but my way
I’d rather be a wolf than a Pekingese
I’d rather go down a hero than to have been born a queen
I’d rather take a bullet than never take stand
And I don’t wanna be your girl if I can never be your woman
Cause I can’t live this life halfway
I couldn’t live my life that way
I can’t live this life halfway
I couldn’t live my life no way but my way
My way
I’d rather be a hero than a queen
I’d rather be a hero than a queen
I’d rather be a hero than a queen

The Alchemist

“Alchemist”
You were the empty rooms that I sang to
Almost every night of that life
And you were the darkness that I clung to
When I closed my eyes
You are someone I used to know
For ten long years, not long ago
You are someone that I used to know
I wish I’d been an alchemist
I would have turned our time to gold
So I could finally just one thing I could hold onto
Now that I see, you will always be just that much out of reach
For me
You will always be out of reach…for me
“You are just so close to being great.”
Is what you said to me
On a late night drive home from NYC
And I always thought that the truth would set us free
But I always that the truth was
That you loved me, that you loved me
I wish I’d been an alchemist
I would have turned our time to gold
So I could finally just one thing I could hold onto
Now that I see, you will always be just that much out of reach
For me
You will always be out of reach…for me
For me
I wish I’d been an alchemist
I would have turned our time to gold
So I could finally just one thing I could hold onto
Now that I see, you will always be just that much out of reach
For me
You will always be out of reach…for me
You were the empty rooms
Darkness that I clung to
And someone, someone
I used to know

Third Street

“Third Street”
Sometimes I take third street to spring
Hoping to find what I’m supposed to be
Even though love gave up on me
I still take my third street to spring
I guess it’s over the rainbow but under the stars
I will find love where my head meets my heart
Over the rainbow but under the stars I will find love
I guess it’s over the rainbow but I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know where to start
I don’t want to live my life in at leasts
Or be crushed by my history
I keep on waiting for spring to come and save me
So I keep on taking third street
Third st. Third St. to spring
I guess it’s over the rainbow but under the stars
I will find love where my head meets my heart
Over the rainbow but under the stars I will find love
I guess it’s over the rainbow but I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know where to start
Ambition saves my life so many nights
But wrapped their heart in barbed wire
Now I don’t know what I expect to find
When I take Third street, Third street to Spring
I guess it’s over the rainbow but under the stars
I will find love where my head meets my heart
Over the rainbow but under the stars I will find love
I guess it’s over the rainbow but I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know
(Fade out)
