She looked at me and said boy you cant be saved
locked the door to my past and walked away
down this lonely road of the underworld
the only light that shines, shine for lost souls
one last chance lies ahead for the beaten silouette
that I see in myself
voices from the dead yell out to me
souls finding their fight is fleeting
what life was isn't really real anymore
being dead isn't half as bad as being alone
looking to find the words of redemption
will I make it back
will I be taken back
Down this lonely road of the underoworld
Distant screams from the dead pass through
my head like the hum of angels
will I find an End to this underworld
She looked at me and said boy you can't be saved

Never too late

You told me it was over long ago
you told me there was no going back
you never answered the questions I wanted to know
now its all coming back
Why'd you tell me its all over
won't you come back home to stay
won't you listen to me baby doll
'cause its never too late
You left me without saying much
wouldn't answer my call
I still long to feel your touch
but the writings on the wall
I'm always Tired
but I don't wanna sleep
'cause my dreams are filled with you
guess I'm in too deep
maybe I'm talkin crazy
but I'm praying Like Hell
that I would just get over you
guess you never can tell

Sweetest Waste of Time

You had the prettiest eyes
but you hated when I looked at them
you had the most beautiful smile
but you told me you hated it
and sitting here with your photograph
can't help what think what might've been
but I know there's no going back
'Cause you were the sweetest waste of time
you left me on a cold august day
I never felt so lost and alone
sitting on your back step nothing more to say
you ment the world to me
but i mean nothing to you now
took me so long to see
That you were the sweetest waste of time
and I know you'll never be mine
Yes you were the sweetest waste of time

California Dreamin'

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I went for a walk
on a winters day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
Califoirnia Dreamin' on a winters day
Stopped into a church
I saw along the way
well I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin' on a winter's day
on such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I went for a walk
on a winter's day
if I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin' on a winter's day
On such a winter's day

On my way to nowhere

I'm takin' some time
Thinkin' 'bout a friend of mine
This girl that I can't get out of my head
She fills my dreams
fills in those crazy scenes
still I know shes got someone else
On my way to nowhere
My friends all say I need to play it cool
Play it by the book and by the rules
but I wish I could change this whole damn scene
Time is on my side
and I'm just along for the ride
Feels like I'm on my way to nowhere
On my way to nowhere
So tonight I'm just takin' a drive
down by the riverside
to think how this love is goin' nowhere
On my way to nowhere

Punchin' The clock now
everyone's waiting for me
they think happy hour is gonna set me free
put up resistance till they finally break through
they said it'd be good to get my mind off you
since you blamed it on your mother
blamed it on your father
blamed it on the work you had to do
blamed it on the seasons
how many reasons
can I give to say these lights a too bright
I feel like staying home tonight
Stare out the window
watch the traffic glide by
sippin my drink slow
beneath the exit sign
feelin the distance 'tween my heart and my mind
there's been way too much space there
and not enough time
Since you blamed it on your weekness
blamed it on your strength
blamed it on the darker side of you
I said thank you for the evening
as I grabbed my coat I'm leaving
sorry friends I tried to be polite
I feel like staying home tonight
I could blame it on the heartbreak
I could say how much can I take
I could fake a one night love affair for you
but I'd rather feel my footsteps
walkin tryin to forget
sippin wine beneath my front porch light
I feel like stayin home tonight

Never Gonna be your man
03:41

I've been walkin' down this lonely road to you my dear
carryin' with me only hope that it would take me near
to the place where you live into the arms that could give
such solace to this hopeless loving man
I sent you flowers and did the song and dance for you
but all the red roses and violets of blue
couldn't put it in your head that the man you chose instead
ain't ever gonna love you like I do
and I'm never gonna be your man
'cause you're never gonna understand
that when I say these things to you
I am faithful I am true
but it just don't seem to fit your plan
I've been tryin' to get a message out to you sweet girl
cause even if I'm not in yours you're still my world
I can;t seem to sleep at night and when I do you're on my mind
as I dream of all the things I can't have
I feel empty when I feel anything at all
and even though you don't answer when I make a call
I'll still wait for a reply and I will until I die
because that's just the way I am
and I'm never gonna be your man
'cause you're never gonna understand
that i am faithful till the end
though not a lover just a friend
but still fool enough to be your biggest fan
I'm a good man good man
good man good man
someday you'll get it
someday you'll get it
but someday it'll be too late
and I'm never gonna be your man
'cause you're never gonna understand
that when I say these things to you
I am faithful I am true
but it just don't seem to fit your plan

Keepin' my eyes on the road this time around
keepin' my hands pressed to the wheel
somethin' so strange as a woman has got me down
ain't gonna be your damn fool again
drivin' tonight just to ease my mind
man in this mood is the most dangerous kind
there was a time when my head went blind
coludn't see the sign at the time
years would go by before I wonder who
or where or what or why
lovin' you was like lovin' a house on fire
burnin and learnin when the damage was done
but now i'm tired and i'm scared and wide open
to the rest of my life
and I almost almost had it all
sick and tired but i'm hopin that a cure can be found
But I can't stop thinkin bout you
I can't stop thinkin bout you
here face to face with what I've been runnin from all these years
hangs a dark cloud over the moon
pull off to this roadside dive and maybe check my sobriety
order a tall cool ginger ale
thinkin about the days when I thought lovin you
was like lovin a fifth of the finest burboun
was it your quality or high quantity
that's put me in the shape i'm in
but now i'm tired and scared and wide open
to the rest of my life
and I almost almost had it all
fooling myself by thinkin that a cure can be found
but I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
