Dummy

As we lay here at night

I'm just trying to get it right

And I know you have something on your mind

Speak the words I want to hear

Make sure they come in clear

Because I'll just believe that you're pretending

What happened to us anyway?

I guess I always thought you'd stay

But now I see that times are changing

These times are changing me...

Drive home slow, she said

Don't let my words trouble your mind

Until you get home, turns out you're alone this time

Here's to solutions that we'll never find

You have me hanging on a string

But I never say a thing because I'm just trying to make you happy

It's not the way that it should be

I love you and you loved me

What happened to our happy ending?

And it's not the way you look at me

That makes me want to stay, oh I want to stay

But now I see that times are changing

These times are changing me...

Drive home slow, she said

Don't let my words trouble your mind

Until you get home, turns out you're alone this time

Here's to solutions that we'll never find

I know you care

Don't act like you don't want me to be without you

And maybe I'll see that you're not the one for me

Like they all said before

These times were changing me

Drive home slow, she said

Don't let my words trouble your mind

Until you get home, turns out you're alone this time

Here's to solutions that we'll never find

Fleeting Utopia

I've let this place take me over

I stood there, watched it burn away

Give me hope, give me laughter

Before I blow away

What am I without these things that make me?

What could I be, without you, or the hand that breaks me?

Where am I left to go now?

They've all turned away

And what about good and evil?

You know it's all the same

What am I without these things that make me?

What could I be, without you, or the hand that breaks me?

And all your questions will soon be answered

And all these days will pass like the mid-summer rain

And all the letters that I sent to you

Will sure likely fade my pain

Who am I to stay here?

Its all gone wrong...

But I've let this place take me over

I stood there, watched it burn away

And what about good and evil?

You know it's all the same

What am I without these things that make me?

What could I be, without you, or the hand that breaks me?

And all your questions will soon be answered

And all these days will pass like the mid-summer rain

And all the letters that I sent to you...

And all your questions will soon be answered

Registered Mail

I feel you getting closer, closer than I want you to be

And this is a side of you I've never seen

I'm getting stronger now, I'm holding out

I'm holding out

You tell me all your problems with so much passion

But how bad could they be?

And you say you don't need me

Why look for sympathy?

If you can't talk to me...

Your secret is safe...

I'm getting older, moving on

And it's more than I can say, more than I'll ever say

I'm sick of the stool that I put you on

And it's more than I'll ever say

You've faked it for long enough

It's getting out of hand

Your little game is over, I'm one step ahead

I'm getting stronger now

And you think you're so clever

You've outdone me this time

You said you'd make it better

But I think I've changed my mind

And if you can't talk to me...

Your secret is safe...

I'm getting older, moving on

And it's more than I can say, more than I'll ever say

I'm sick of the stool that I put you on

I'm moving on...

Oscar

You ask me where I went

The chip I haven't spent, where has it gone to?

You wake up on your own

Confusion you postpone to that special place, unknown

To the place I spend my time

To the ghosts I've let behind

The place I can't hold on to...

Even if I tried

You take me as I am

You show me everything I was...

Everything I can be

Now I give apologies

Would they be better on my knees?

I know you will, but forgive me

You still may wake up on your own

I just need my time alone, but don't think I don't need you

The only trust I've ever known

The only place that felt like home

And when you kissed away my tears

I thank god for all these years

I wonder where we go from here...

You take me as I am

You show me everything I was...

Everything I can be

I'll be back tonight

Don't forget to leave on the light

And I promise we'll be better

We'll even wake up together

You take me as I am

You make me feel like me

Hello Wonder

I see you in my dreams

I wish I could be everything as you are to me

I come to you with false hopes of happiness

And I spend my nights alone

I play every note for you

It's funny how you make me want to be better than, better than I am

The way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you understand me

The way you say, the way you say my name

I sing every word for you

And if I had the chance to hold your hand I would never let it go, I would never let you go

And I promised myself I'd just dream

My Hello Wonder is all you'll ever be

It's funny how you make me smile when you're not here, even when you're not here

The way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you understand me

The way you say, the way you say my name

I wrote this song for you

And if I had the chance to hold your hand I would never let it go, I would never let you go

And I promised myself I'd just dream

My Hello Wonder is all you'll ever be

Lyrics by: Jess

Waiting (The Morning Sun)

The touch of your hand brings me to another land

Somewhere far away

You'd have no choice but to stay

I never left you alone or waiting by the phone

Please don't leave me on my own

And when the day comes with the rise of the morning sun

I'll be waiting

I'll be there waiting

The touch of your face brings me to another place

Somewhere unknown

Somewhere to call our own

I really need you tonight

There's no need to fight

I'll be all right

And when the day comes with the rise of the morning sun

I'll be waiting

I'll be there waiting

The touch of your hand brings me to another land

Somewhere unknown

Somewhere to call our own...

And when the day comes with the rise of the morning sun

I'll be waiting

I'll be there waiting

Winding

She's alone, I bet

But she'll never claim regret

I picked her up once off the floor

But she don't need me anymore

And I'll see you around

But I'm nowhere to be found

Can't you see that I may drown without you...

The promises we make are the promises we break

And will last forever more...

She's scared, I know

But she'll never let it show

And this will never end

As long as you're my friend

I'll pick you up when you fall down

But you're nowhere to be found

Can't you see I'm tumbling down without you...

The promises we make are the promises we break

And will last forever more

Lyrics by:Jess

The Laundry Room

Oh your last breath upon by breath

And I never thought it would be my last

Oh it's killing me, aching me, breaking me in two

And I never thought my last breath would be taken by you...

And the footsteps I've taken will never be retraced

And the mending of a broken heart, not easily replaced

And the sound of your voice in an ear that's now alone

The echo of my last breath, never to come home...

And is it hard not to miss me? Is it hard not to kiss me?

Thinking tears we've cried together will never fall again

And when I place my hand upon yours are you wishing it was her?

As the feel of my last breath possesses what we were

And if you come around I hope I'm everything you wanted me to be

And I promise not to give up on you

If you promise not to give up on me

And there's no turning back now cos it was bound to happen

And there's no use in placing blame on what ifs and might've beens

And sometimes I feel so used, but then you make me smile

So it is ok to place the blame for just a little while?

And if you come around I hope I'm everything you wanted me to be

And I promise not to give up on you

If you promise not to give up on me

Mistakes I've made never compare to you

But I don't regret a thing

And if you come around I hope I'm everything you wanted me to be

And I promise not to give up on you

If you promise not to give up on me

Lyrics by: Jess

Thursday Night Heartache

Poor old me, sitting here, wishing I had old memories

Like all the other ones, just like all the other ones who are as lucky as me...

And to think, I could throw it all away after all the stupid things you know I do and say

And I'm lucky you don't see it that way...

And I feel like I've fallen in a dream

There's no escaping

Cos these sorts of things don't happen to me

I'm not letting go that easily...

And it scares me to think that I would go as far as you would take me

But I think we're friends, I think we're more than friends...

I'll leave it up to you

And to think that I could have you some day

After all the stupid things I know I do and say

And I'm lucky I didn't throw it all away

And I feel like I'm falling in too deep

There's no escaping

I think I'll stay, but I should leave

I'm not letting go that easily...

Cos you're a dream to me

Oh I'm humbled by my insecurities

I never thought they'd ever get in my way

Oh here, they reappear when I'm finally happy

But am I really happy? Am I really happy with a dream?

And I feel like I'm dying, inside I'm crying, never let me go

Cos this is more than I can take...

You're my Thursday night heartache...

Lyrics by: Jess

So Sorry

There comes a time when I don't understand the things I do and say

Words always seem to get in my way

Curiosity has killed me again

I only tried to be your friend

And maybe someday you will understand that I am your biggest fan

You'll never know how much I love you...

And it's more than I can say

To make you turn and walk my way

Would you give me the time of day if I said I'm sorry?

There was this place that I thought I was so happy

That place was in your arms

Yeah, and lonliness has beaten me again

Will you still be my friend?

And maybe one day I will make you see that you're the only one for me

You'll never know how much I miss you...

And it's more than I can say

To make you turn and walk my way

Would you give me the time of day if I said...

And I wouldn't run away

What would you even say?

And it's more than I can say

To make you turn and walk my way

Would you give me the time of day if I said...

And I wouldn't run away

What would you even say?

Lyrics by: Jess

By My Side

Sometimes I would sit up at night

Wondering what it would be like to have you by my side

I never knew just what it would be like

Or to feel the way I'll feel tonight when you are by my side

The way you whisper in my ear

Oh I'm so glad to have you here right by my side

Well now, your bodys next to mine

Together till the end of time right by my side

I dreamed of you last night

Holding you oh so tight

And now I know the days will pass me by

But that's all right, cos now you're by my side

Come now, put your hand in mine

As long as we're together everything will be fine

The way you hold me is just right

Together all through the night right by my side

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

It seems so perfect and it seems so right

Every dream that I have will come true tonight

Now that I have you by my side

Tomorrow is just another day

And even though you'll go away you'll still be by my side

The way you touch your lips to mine

Together till the end of time right by my side

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

It seems so perfect and it seems so right

Every dream that I have will come true tonight

Now that I have you by my side

Lyrics by: Jess and Chels

Your Latest Crave

Strumming away all the things that you do and say

And all the words that begin to play as you go on parade

Wailing away all the fear and pain of us one day

Would it be the best to go your own way as I go on parade?

What happened to the good old days?

So many times, so many different ways

Don't try telling me that this is just a phase

Cos lately it seems it's your latest crave

Taking away all the thoughts that will slowly fade away

I guess forever meant up until today as you left on parade

What happened to the tears that fell like rain?

One promise broken, I have nothing left to gain

Don't try telling me that I'm the one to blame

Cos lately it seems it's your latest crave

I'll say it again

I'll try not to pretend

You're my angel, my end...

Waiting away all the hopes and dreams of us one day

Would you pretend to hear the words I say?

As I go on parade

I'll say it again

I'll try not to pretend

You're my angel, my end...
