You've spent so long on the outside
Waiting for someone to let you in
I've got to tell you something
I think you already know
All the pain, all the shame
It won't ever go away
Till you take the blame
But baby sometimes
I get a feeling
Sometimes
I think this feeling's for you
Sometimes
I get that little feeling
I know my heart will be on the line
But somehow
I don't think you'll follow through
You've spent so long being someone
Someone you don't even know
Man you've gotta start living
And stop waiting for tomorrow
I've got to tell you something
I think you need to hear
All those beers, all those tears
Won't make this go away
Till you face your fears
But darlin sometimes
I get a little feeling
Sometimes
I think this feeling's for you
Sometimes
I get that little feeling
I know my heart will be on the line
But somehow
I don't think you'll follow through
What're you gonna do when
there's no one here for you to hang on to?
Like unknown enemies
you and I aren't met to be
I can't save you

New Year's Night
04:15
|
|||
|
My feet buried warm in the sand
my blue eyes stretched up to the starlit sky
sitting on the beach
holding my arms tight
on this new year's night
Well I know what they'd all say
"Come on baby, you've gotta find a man
one of these days"
but lean in close
let me tell you something
I don't need a man
to pave my way
So thank you for asking
but I'm not lonely
Thank you for passing
me by oh so slowly
But I'm alright
on this new year's night
I feel the soft orange flicker of flames
glowing on the sand just down the way
the countdown begins
and with a joyful sigh
my little heart lays rest to the year gone by
on this new year's night
on this new year's night
Thank you for asking
but I'm not lonely
Thank you for passing
me by oh so slowly
But I'm alright
on this new year's night

Lela's Story
04:25
|

|
Her room is her haven
at night she lays
staring at the records
hanging from the ceiling
She closes her eyes
and imagines the view from
the highest tower
sparkling in heaven
Lela knows
this is how it goes
She says remember that girl
who used to smile
like the endless sun in the summer
remember that day
the sun went away
cause Lela cries now
Lela cries
She wanders along
that yellow brick road
lightly tapping her shoes
wishing she was home
she opens her eyes
it hits her hard
that blinding sunlight
it's almost her time
She says remember that girl
who used to smile
like the endless sun in the summer
remember that day
the sun went away
cause Lela cries now
Lela cries

The Winter
03:36

Once upon a time I got lost in your eyes
I held your hand and always wanted you by my side
then Winter came and turned our hearts to cold
I had no choice but to walk away
it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to face
but we both know we were going insane
So I sang
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo...
I hit the road not really knowing which way to go
with my guitar in the van I wound down the window
hoping the cool Summer air would calm my soul
It took a damn long time for me to feel ok
and over one year later what would you say
if you saw me now
took off your crown
told the truth
it's the least you could do
Watch me turn around
walk away again
cause I said all I had to say
in the Winter...
So I sang
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo...
