Summer Is Over

These days blow by, two at a time
Not a great thing, with a girl like mine
But I know
That she'll
Pull through (Pull on through)
Yes, I know
That she’ll
Pull through
Sometimes I think, what a waste of time
But a smile from her, makes time rewind
Yes, I know
She likes me, too
Yes, I know
She likes me, too
Summer is over
And my dreams never came true
Summer is over
But I know she likes me too
Sometimes I think, what a waste of time
But a smile from her, makes time rewind
Yes, I know
She likes me, too
Yes, I know
She likes me, too
Summer is over
And my dreams never came true
Summer is over
But I know she likes me too

Old and Grey

Look at me, I’m old and grey
Look at me, you best believe I got something to say
Don’t let your life waste away
Listen to me, I’m old and grey
You’ve seen love, from the side
Yeah you’ve seen love but you ain’t ever tried
Don’t let your life, waste away
Listen to me, I’m old and grey
And someday down the line, you may ask yourself
Yes, someday in time, you may wonder why you never tried
Don’t let rеgret lead your life
Don’t bе so shy you got nothing to hide
Give it a shot I bet you’ll be alright
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Don’t tell me, that it can’t be
Oh no don’t talk to me so seriously
Of all the things that ruin your fun
Relax a bit, get things done
Let’s be real, what can you say
When all you do is look for others to blame
For all those dreams, that never became
You can’t fool me, I’m old and grey
And someday down the line, you may ask yourself
Yes, someday in time, you may wonder why you never tried
Don’t let regret lead your life
Don’t be so shy you got nothing to hide
Give it a shot I bet you’ll be alright
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Ah please, don’t waste your life

Hey Babe
04:08
|

|
Hey, babe
I think I’m bored of the sunshine
Hey, babe
I think I’ll duck into the forest line
Come on now
Let’s try take it somewhat slower
The day’s so grand
I just can’t wait to get to know her
And I’m not sure what you expect
(What you expect)
And I’m not sure what’s gonna come next
(What’s gonna come next)
Hey, babe
I think I’ll catch a ride downtown
Hey, babe
I think I’ll find myself a new man
What would be
If I played the same dirty tricks on you
Built you up
Just to take you down a peg or two
And I’m not sure what you expect
(What you expect)
And I’m not sure what’s gonna come next
(What’s gonna come next)
And it may seem
That I’m letting you down
And it may seem
That I’ve got it all upside-down
Don’t you dare make plans with me
If you’re not going to play your part
Don’t you dare make dreams with me
If you only commit to the start
Yes I’ve got my head in the clouds
But I do what I intend
Yes I’ve got my head in the clouds
But I see things through to the end

Pencil in Regret
05:36
|
|||
|
Clocking in to life
At four in the afternoon
Making myself look nice
Just to hear you swoon
Pencilling in regret
As filler for the day
I haven’t decided yet
What it is I’ll say
All I ever wanted
Was someone by my side
All I ever needed
Was some hope in my life
I only need a few things
To keep me runnin’ sane
Headphones ‘round my neck
A noose for the soul
Will it all be worth it
That’s something I don’t know
All I ever wanted
Was someone by my side
All I ever needed
Was some hope in my life
I only need a few things
To keep me runnin’ sane

Mexican Beauty in Red
04:22
|
|||
|
Freshly out of love and without hope
I caught a glance from her eyes
I really can't lie
My nerve was gone
My mood was lifted high
Eyes of ocean's green and nettled flowers
A look that would devour
A smile that could empower
Quick to test your words and make you frown
At all the things that she does
The things that she says
And so it goes
The girl goes to your head
Mexican beauty in red
Mexican beauty in red
Daaaaaa da daaaaaa da daaaaaaaaa
This girl will make you cry
This girl will make you cry
Whether she knows you've lost your nerve
You'll never know
She may as well go to your head
She may as well go to your head
I can't believe that all this
Is just for one girl
Mexican beauty in red
Mexican beauty in red
Freshly out of love and without hope
I caught a glance from her eyes
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie
I really can't lie

Cakewalk Day
05:24
|
|||
|
Opened up too fast to a stranger
Now they’ve got me on their leash
Didn’t think there’d ever be such danger
On the way to work midweek
Made it through to the barista
A cup of joe, please
No need to force the chit-chat
I ain’t no psychopath
(When it’s all going well)
And I’m doing fine
My favourite tune is in my ears
(When she’s pulling it off)
And doing that walk
There is no shame in my tears
It’s a Cakewalk Day
It’s a Cakewalk Day
And nothing I do
Will blow up in my face
Not even, if I tried
Went a bit too far with my humour
And now I’ve got to bite my tongue
But the smile on her face, it betrays her
And I know we are not quite done
(When it’s all going well)
And I’m doing fine
My favourite tune is in my ears
(When she’s pulling it off)
And doing that walk
There is no shame in my fears
It’s a Cakewalk Day
It’s a Cakewalk Day
And nothing I do
Will blow up in my face
Not even, if I tried
And nothing I do,
(And I nothing I do)
Will blow up in my face
(Will blow up in my face)
Not even, if I tried
(If I tried)

Resting

Resting here
Please be near
Resting here
Just a little while
Face to face
Giving space
Thanking her
Every time
Why do you always run
Why don’t you slow down a while
Why don’t you slow down and smile
Showing pain
Giving thanks
Speaking frank
When you can
Switching off
Winding down
Being kind
To yourself
Why do you always run
Why don’t you slow down a while
Why don’t you slow down and smile
Resting here
Please be near
Resting here
Just a little while
Resting here
Please be near
Resting here
Just a little while
Resting here
(Here)
Resting here
Resting here
(Resting, resting, resting here)
Resting here
(Resting here)
Resting here
Please be near

Never Gave You A Reason
05:02

How can it be?
You’d rather run away
Than give this a chance
What did I say?
And how can it be?
I’d ever fall in love
With someone like you
What was the cause?
If I had to say something
I tried a little too hard
Seems infatuation
Didn’t get me too far
Never gave you a reason
To figure me out
To be on your mind
Like you were on mine
Never gave you a reason
To show me respect
Take me by the hand
Make me feel like a man
Not fearful of death
Yet clinging to life
The be all and end all
And all of the time
Forgiving your actions
Well ahead time
Too caring to notice
I’m wasting your time
Never gave you a reason
To figure me out
To be on your mind
Like you were on mine
Never gave you a reason
To show me respect
Take me by the hand
Make me feel like a man
Never gave you a reason
To figure me out
To be on your mind
Like you were on mine
Never gave you a reason
To show me respect
Take me by the hand
Make me feel like a man

I'll Be Me

Lord give me another chance
Lord give me another dance
Nothing I ever did was enough
Nothing I ever did was enough
For you babe, for you
For you babe, for you
Lord help me out this time
Lord you must believe I’ve tried
Anything I ever dreamed let me down
Anything I ever dreamed let me down
But you babe, were there
You babe, were there
So I say, to you my friend
Perfection ain’t all that
So I say, to you my friend
I’ll be me, and that is that
Lord give me another chance
Lord give me another dance
Anything I ever dreamed let me down
Anything I ever dreamed let me down
But you babe, were there
You babe, were there
So I say, to you my friend
Perfection ain’t all that
So I say, to you my friend
I’ll be me, and that is that
I’ll be me, and that is that
I’ll be me, and that is that

No I Won't Deny
03:44

It seems it wasn’t meant to be
I think it’s time to go
It’s time I swim in some shallower seas
It’s all there’s left to do
I tried my best, I made you laugh
And that’ll have to do
When we locked eyes, I caught a kiss
But it’s the closest I’ll ever get to you
And babe, clearly it meant more to me
And babe, that’s just the way I feel
No, I won’t deny, I love the way you rock those jeans
No, I won’t deny, I love the way you haunt my dreams
I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t meant to be
It’s time for me to go
I think I’ll swim in some shallower seas
It seems that’s all there’s left to do
I tried my best, I made you laugh
And babe that was cool
We locked eyes, we shared a kiss
But it’s the closest I’ll get to you
And babe, clearly it meant more to me
And babe, that’s just the way I feel
No, I won’t deny, I love the way you rock those jeans
No, I won’t deny, I love the way you haunt my dreams
When it’s all said and done, I think you’re hella fine
When it’s all said and done, I wish you were mine
