Waste My Time

Come on baby take my hand
I'll show you how to move
These other guys don't know you like I do
You know I ain't got much
If you wanna take a chance
I could be the one to hold your hand
Oh oh oh you know I'll go
Wherever you want me to
It's alright if I'm wasting my time
I'm gonna waste my time with you
Waste my time with you
Gonna waste my time
Oh baby you drive me wild
But I gotta play it cool
I'm just a lonely heartsick fool
You know I'll understand
No you ain't gotta be shy
I just wanna kiss and hold you tight
Oh oh oh you know I'll go
Wherever you want me to
It's alright if I'm wasting my time
I'm gonna waste my time with you
Waste my time with you
Gonna waste my time
Round and around we go
Scattered by the spin
Hold me close and don't let go
Make me whole again
Make me whole again
You know I'll go
Wherever you want me to
It's alright if I'm wasting my time
I'm gonna waste my time with you
Waste my time with you
Gonna waste my time with you
Waste my time with you
Gonna waste my time

Don't Call Me Friend
02:48

Baby don't call me friend
You're the only one who could ever mend
This heart's been torn in two
I am suffering now without you
Please don't tell me no
Please don't let me go
Don't let me go
Baby don't leave me blue
You gotta tell me now
You gotta choose
Which way it's gonna be
The truth is all that I need
Please don't tell me no
Please don't let me go
Don't let me go
Please don't tell me no
Please don't let me go
Please don't tell me no
Please don't let me go
Don't let me go

Up to the stars, away we go
Out past the sun to the great unknown
Ten million light years between
Where we began and our dreams
Come dance with me in the galaxy's glow
Just tell me where and we will go
Through starless space vast and dark
Your love swirls round my black hole heart
We don't know no time
We don't know no time
We don't know no time
The time has come
Goodbye
So long my friends
We'll meet again don't worry
Don't worry baby we've come so far
We belong together
I won't make you sorry no more
We're free
Our lives have just begun
Here in the light of a different sun

Numb
02:30
|
|||
|
You're just a dream away
I make you laugh, convince you to stay
But I'm not cool like that
I try to kiss you but I wake on contact
Pat me on the head
When I sit and beg like a good boy
Your lips are full of lead
You're toxic honey
And I'm feeling numb
Not good enough and you know it
Numb
Not good enough and you know it

Waiting So Long
02:08
|

|
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
Been waiting so long on you
I've been waiting since that day that you packed up and went away
Keep checking on my phone for a message that says you're coming
When I look into your eyes it gives me stomach butterflies
I'm lying here on the floor
Come touch me
Make me yours
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
Been waiting so long on you
You know without your love I'm feeling blue
When I have got your love there's nothing I can't do
I've been waiting for a sign that you'll come home
That you'll be mine
Is it something that I lack that's keeping you from coming
Dream about you every night
Send my love, get no reply
Give me a chance to make you sure
You won't be lonely no more
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
I've been waiting oh so long
Been waiting so long on you

Oh Darlin'

Oh darlin' though that sea of stars is wide
I'll make it back to your side
Oh darlin', oh darlin' I will
Oh darlin' if I should never get to hold you
You know I'll be so blue
Oh darlin', oh darlin' I will
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Won't you say you want me too
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Won't you say you want me too
Oh darlin' I know he whispers in your ear
Tells you the things you want to hear
Oh darlin', oh darlin' he will
Oh darlin' I'll keep sending my love to you
This love so pure and true
Oh darlin', oh darlin' I will

Great Escape
03:12
|
|||
|
Let's pack it up and hit the coast
No more cold wind in our bones
Top down singing all the way
Freefalling down the interstate
The girls swoon when I walk by
Fellas flex trying to catch my eye
Don't let it make you blue
You know my heart belongs to you
Oh oh oh baby come with me
We can make a great escape
When you get down and groove with me
My loneliness fades away
You know our love is true
Looking good like we do
In the sun feeling fine
Chilled out summertime
Pick a spot on the horizon
When we get there we'll have fun
Oh oh oh baby come with me
We can make a great escape
When you get down and groove with me
It hits me like a wave
You know our love is true
Looking good like we do

Do You Want Me Now?
03:56
|
|||
|
Crush me in your skin
Breathe you in
Blow my mind
Blow my mind
You want to know what I think
Oh well, whatever, anyway
Waste and count the days
Do you want me now
Turn cold, turn away
I wonder do you want me now
Calm down breathe and hold
Time unfolds
Take me home
Take me home
You want to know what I think
Oh well, whatever, anyway
Waste and count the days
Do you want me now
Turn cold, turn away
I wonder do you want me now

Someday
02:50
|
|||
|
I'm coming down
Drifting with the snow
Am I on your tongue?
Would you tell me so?
I sweat and shake
Oh I can't breathe
Will you turn your gaze onto me?
Oh someday
Oh someday
Oh someday
Spring is sneaking in
The world is born anew
I hear the sparrow sing it's bright and happy tune
Somehow it makes me feel so blue
I only want to sing along with you
Oh someday
Oh someday
Oh someday
Even though I'm not worthy
Even though I know she'll hurt me
I want to drown in her eyes all summer
Pull me under
Oh I love her
Oh someday
Oh someday
Oh someday

See You Tonight
03:36
|
|||
|
I think that I've fallen in love with you darlin'
I want to see you tonight
Will you take my hand if I ask you to dance
I want to see you tonight
But I see you've got his coat across your shoulders
It hurts me
It hurts me
I waited for summer under snow covered dreams I'd see you tonight
Under stars shining I'll do my sad pining
I want to see you tonight
Oh baby
Baby don't be lonely
