Never Understand
Tonight my heart is empty
As the ground beneath this city
Riding on the D train
Is the only place I can sleep the days away
I know you’ve got trouble
Spinning round your head
I see these things circle
Through me instead
I may never understand
No time on our side
Distance left us behind
Lonely as the moon
Tonight I’m circling round and around you
I know you’ve got trouble
Spinning round your head
I see these things circle
Through me instead
I may never understand
Understand and now I’m in love again
Hey Jaime/See You Now
Hey Jaime
won’t be too long now
Until we’re laughing over a few drinks downtown
We’ll stay later than last call
And tip the waiter for staying at all
Hey Jaime
You’ve got your life I’ve got a curtain call
I break from your branches like leaves in the fall
As I’m drifting to the ground
I’m wishing I could see you now
Asking the stars why I’m spending tonight
Wishing I could see you now
Lost in this storm I can’t seem to follow
The footprints melting into the snow
As I wander through this town
I’m wishing I could see you now
Asking the stars why I’m spending tonight
Wishing I could see you now
Spring rain sweeps across this Boston cityscape
I fall away as the summer sun slowly becomes your face
The seasons change and turn me around
But I’m still
Wishing I could see you now
Asking the stars why I’m spending tonight
Wishing I could see you now
Alexandria
Alexandria, Alexandria
You never kissed me
So Sweetly
Until tonight
I didn’t know what was calling to me
Now I’m slowly closing in on New York City
Alexandria, Alexandria
You never kissed me
So Sweetly
Until tonight
Now I’ve let myself fall into you
Watch me forget I’ve got everything to lose
Alexandria, Alexandria
You never kissed me
So Sweetly
Until tonight
Wandering Houston Street
In the City that Never Sleeps
I can’t close my eyes
Because I’m miles
From it all
I may stumble but I will not fall
Alexandria, Alexandria
You never kissed me
So Sweetly
Until tonight
Sink In
My body is a graveyard
For misplaced fantasies
My clothes hide these scars
So no one can see
I feel
Your eyes
Burning through my skin
I will kneel
I will lie
I won’t let this sink in
One day you will be
A ghost in my heart
Follow this mystery
Play this part
I feel
Your eyes
Burning through my skin
I will kneel
I will lie
I won’t let this sink in
No no
You can’t let me go down this way
So low
I can’t stand to see you
No no
You can’t let me go down this way
So low
Let me go
Black and Blue
Traveling heart
You’ve been
So pinned down lately
Following this part
You seem
So distant baby
I didn’t see you coming down this road
Now I’m running to follow
Swirling Curls
Ocean Eyes
Could turn this tide
Sun-kissed skin
Bleeds emotion
Running through
A heart of Black and Blue
Restless night
You are
A black and white world
With the morning light
You start
To see the color
I didn’t want to need love anymore
Now I’m tangled in your
Swirling Curls
Ocean Eyes
Could turn this tide
Sun-kissed skin
Bleeds emotion
Running through
A heart of Black and Blue
About the Girl
Where did she go
When you needed her most
How did she decide
To leave you behind
She won’t stay
When the clouds fall with the rain
Love is watching her
Break you tonight
Love is not the answer
To the question in her eyes
Forget about the girl
Did she always know
You would end up alone
She left your heat
In a sky with no stars
The storm raged in you
When her thunder rolled through
Love is watching her
Break you tonight
Love is not the answer
To the question in her eyes
Forget about the girl
She Loved Me
Reach into my chest
Secret mistress
Reach in and steal my emotion
Imaginary lover
I’m spinning above her
She captures my dream in motion
I know somehow
I’m gonna turn these clock hands around
Get back to
The way she loved me yesterday
Now I’m left drowning in that New York Coty rain
But I can’t deny that I’m lost and gone for LA
Wasting my dreams
Drown this mystery
Run from the waves in her ocean
I know this time
I’m gonna find a way to change her mind
Get back to
The way she loved me yesterday
Now I’m left drowning in that New York Coty rain
But I can’t deny that I’m lost and gone for LA
From Your Eyes
Starstruck
Just by the sight of you
Hard up
Finding a reason to
Reason to breathe
When this life runs dry
I think I might survive
If I drink emotion running from your eyes
Watch you
Turn in the morning light
Confused
I can’t seem to find
A reason to breathe
When this life runs dry
I think I might survive
If I drink emotion running from your eyes
Then Again
Think about the future in my mind
Think about the way my world turns around you every day
Then I se tomorrow biting at your heels
Then I see the way I’m just lost behind your eyes
I’ve been just a little worried about my lack of motivation
I’ve been just a little worried about the way I get nothing done at all
Then I see you moving on without me
Then I see the way I’m just lost on the inside
Then again you melt me down to nothing
With just a little look from across the room
Then again you captivate me
I’m a willing prisoner to you
Think about the future in my mind
Think about the way my world turns around you every day
Then I se tomorrow biting at your heels
Then I see the way I’m just lost behind your eyes
Then again you melt me down to nothing
With just a little look from across the room
Then again you captivate me
I’m a willing prisoner to you
Tshukudu (Where are you Now)
Who could ever know
That a trip across the ocean could
Move me this way
You can never know me
Until you’ve seen me there
Tell me have you seen me there
Tshukudu
Where are you now
With your savannah that rolls on
For miles right in front of me
My whole life is in front of me
Where are you now
I have been calling for you
Every night in my sleep
Not a cloud too high
But I can’t pin you down
Tell me can you pin me down
In the middle of so much confusion
Remember to keep stillness
In your soul
Tshukudu
Where are you now
With your savannah that rolls on
For miles right in front of me
My whole life is in front of me
Where are you now
I have been calling for you
Every night in my sleep
Thunder Rolls in
But the rain will never fall
Who could ever know
I would find it inside of Tshukudu
