Lyrics...

1. IT MAKES SENSE

I find I’m never satisfied

I still try

To do it all and do it all again

It makes sense 

Humans go from necessary to immense

It makes sense that what we want and need

Are very different things they are you see

I have another wish for my list

Can’t help it - I’m never really satisfied

When I cross it off my list I’ll find another wish

I can’t help it – I’m never satisfied

It makes sense 

Humans go from necessary to immense

It makes sense that what we want and need

Are very different things indeed

We already have

We always want so much more

We always want so much more

It makes sense 

Humans go from necessary to immense

It makes sense that what we want and need

Are very different things you see

It Makes sense

It Makes sense

2. HOLD ME CLOSE

Why don't we step outside

Why don't we catch a flick

Why don’t we step outside -Take a car ride

Why don’t we catch a flick - Maybe we will click

Like we used to way back when we were new

Way back when we were new

We do the things that we’ve done over and over before

A new experience is all that I’m asking you for

Hold me close and help me remember

Can you hold me close like there’s no other

I wish you would hold me close like there’s nothing else

Should I have shared the shame

Have I been wrong to blame

My courage it comes in waves

And then it pulls away

I never say a thing

I never say a thing

We do the things that we’ve done over and over before

A new experience is all that I’m asking you for

Can you hold me close and help me remember

Can you hold me close like there’s no other

I wish you would hold me close like there’s nothing else

Can you hold me close and help me remember

Can you hold me close like there’s no other

I wish you

I wish you would hold me close like there’s nothing else

Like there’s nothing else

3. BEFORE TIME LEAVES  YOU

 

Taste your wine

Take your time

Lay on your back and watch the sky

Every night

Step outside

To kiss the stars and day goodbye

 

Make memories before

You can’t make them no more

 

It’s not advice

I’m not trying to be nice

I just know it’s time to make it right

 

Make memories before

You can’t make them no more

Do the things you love to do

Before times escapes you

Before time leaves you

 

Make memories

Before you can’t make them anymore

Do things you love to do

You love to do

 

Make memories before

You can’t make them no more

Do the things you love to do

Before times escapes you

Before time leaves you too

4. YOU DON’T WANT LOVE   

You don’t want love

No

We’re having a beer

A little Friday cheer

You crack back your neck to look at

The girl standing there

Standing there

You know the one with the crazy hair

Those eyes they were your demise

Before you even knew her name

Please tell the truth

You just want a friend and nothing more

You don’t want love

No no

You just want a friend and nothing more

You claim you want a wife

You say you wanna change your life

Two kids, a dog named Ribs

And a great big mortgage that no one can afford

Please tell the truth

You just want a friend and nothing more

You don’t want love

No no

You just want a friend and nothing more

 

Tonight the great sabotage begins

‘Cause this American gigolo

He really likes to win

But when the work sails in

His commitment his thin

And all the things that he did to get her

Are not the things that he likes to do now

And all the things that he did to get her

Are not the things that he likes to do…now

Please tell the truth

You just want a friend and nothing more

You don’t want love

No no

You just want a friend and nothing more

You just want a friend and nothing more

5. GORGEOUS GIRL

 

You can drop your things   

Anywhere you want                                                

When the phone it rings    

It’s always you they want                     

You can cancel a date

You can always be late

You can afford to be rude

But I’m sure you knew

 

You, you can say what you want for free

You, you can walk all over my self-esteem

Don’t hate me for noticing

The advantages of being a gorgeous girl

 

You can expect a ride, dinner and wine

You can expect a light

The lady wants a cigarette tonight

You can expect a chair while I’m standing there

You can sport a fake laugh

Guess what? it looks good on you

Oh no

 

You, you can say what you want for free

You, you can walk all over my self-esteem

Don’t hate me for noticing

The advantages of being a gorgeous girl

 

You, you can say what you want for free

You, you can walk all over my self esteem

Don’t hate me for noticing

The advantages of being a gorgeous girl

6. LISTEN TO ME

Do you worry that one day                   

That the people will go away

And when you wake up in this place

You find out it’s cold when you’re alone

Do you find this all boring

Should I stop talking and sing

I have a feeling that your burning

'Cause you need to hear yourself again

Interesting as you might be

I wouldn’t mind a turn to speak

Take my invitation and share this conversation 

And tell me all about day

Listen to me, listen to me now                                         

Listen to me speak      

Listen to me now       

Listen to me too

Do you find this all boring

Should I stop talking and sing

I have a feeling that your burning

'Cause you need to hear yourself again

As interesting as you might be     

I wouldn’t mind a turn to speak

Take my invitation and share this conversation 

And tell me all about your day

Interesting as you might be     

I wouldn’t mind a turn to speak

Take my invitation

Share this conversation 

And tell me all about your day

Listen to me

Llisten to me now

Listen to me speak     

Listen to me now    

7. ATLANTIS & COMPATIBLE (feat. Erin Propp)

 

I speak my mind

And then we fight

There is no rhyme but I’m the reason

It’s rude at best

And it puts you to the test

You say don’t worry

'Cause I am with you

                                                 

Hey yeah         

Matches to fire

I ignite you

Tables to chairs

Bridges to water               

You are to me

 

I share my day

It’s bad again

but still you listen

I realize and I try to apologize

You said don’t worry

'Cause I am with you baby

 

Hey yeah

Matches to fire

I ignite you

Tables to chairs

Bridges to water              

You are to me

You are to me too

                                                         

'We’ve found the lost cities

Of Atlantis and Compatible            

'Cause we’ve found the lost cities

Of Atlantis and Compatible             
We’re compatible                     

We’re compatible

Atlantis

Atlantis

Atlantis

Atlantis

Hey yeah yeah                

Matches to fire   

You ignite me

8. CHESS

Did you play a little game of chess

Where every piece was a human life - confess

Did you think

We’d never really notice if our money went for a walk

 

Did you ever care about me

That’s a good question you see

I wonder

      

I used to think that I was, that I was alone. 

But then I went all across the land you own

And the people they felt the same way

Way

 

Did you ever care about me?  

Well that’s a good question you see

I wonder

 

Can you

I wanna know

Sit across from me

You ought to know

Stare me in the eyes  

Can you live with yourself

 

Can you

I wanna know

Sit across from me

You ought to know

Stare me in the eyes

Can you live with yourself

 

It looks like our money went for a walk

It looks like our money went for a walk

...yourself

...yourself

9. WORDS ARE FAST

Bullets do the killing

We just pull the trigger

When the words start spilling

You can bet the casualties get bigger

I need to remember

Words are fast

My words did the killing

But anger pulled the trigger

If my sorry seems unwilling

You can blame the words that got through my fingers

I need to remember

Words are fast

And they tend to last

They don’t like to go away

Then they make us doubt everything we know

They make us doubt everything

Bullets do the killing

When the words start spilling

You can blame the words that got through my fingers

Or should I blame the words I let though my fingers

I need to remember that

Words are fast

And they’re built to last

They don’t like to go away

Then they make us doubt everything we know

They make us doubt everything

 

Words are fast

10. WORRIED SICK

Worried

 

Don’t go outside

Danger, it likes to hide

You don’t know what it feels like

You don’t have to sit up all night

And I, I fear the worst for you

I, I hate you far away

I am worried sick for you

Anytime the phone it rings

Past midnight my blood turns cold

Is she okay or in harms way

For the ones who worry it’s a never-ending day

And I, I fear the worst for you

I, I hate you far away

And I am worried sick for you

For you

Worried Sick, worried Sick, worried sick, I am

Worried Sick, worried sick, worried sick, I am

Is she okay or in harms way

For the ones who worry it’s a never-ending day

And I, I fear the worst for you

I, I  hate you far away

And I am worried sick for you

11. ONE PHONE CALL

 

Who knows if

Your mind drifts

Because you don’t

Because you won’t  

Even try to dare to care

 

One Phone call

It doesn’t fix it all at all

 

Roses and all of this

Meaningless   

If you don’t do things

Before it is too late

 

One Phone call doesn’t fix it all at all

Just another phone call and it

Doesn’t fix a thing at all

I had the sunset in my eyes

I couldn’t dial for a while

I’m sure you can forgive me

Because a friend is a friend is always a friend

Until the end

Until the end

 

We beg for a simple favor

You give typical behavior

It shouldn’t a problem man  

The Kiss of Death is anything we leave in your

Less than capable hands

 

One Phone call doesn’t fix it all at all

Just another phone call and it

Doesn’t fix a thing at all

I had the sunset in my eyes

I couldn’t dial for a while

I’m sure you can forgive me

Because a friend is a friend is always a friend

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

12.  TRUST

Deposits of trust we make

But then we go and make a big mistake

And all the good deeds we did before

Now they don’t seem to help the score

Oh oh did you know

There is a sound that they have found

And that’s the sound that trust makes

There is a sound even when it breaks

It hurts too much

It hurts too much

But still we stay and we revel in the pain

She’s papercut and dripping blood

Something so simple to us

Can send a victim off the deep end

‘Cause pain is only felt on the receiving end

It hurts too much

It hurts too much

But still we stay

It’s the price we choose to pay

Oh oh did you know

Did you know

There is a sound that they have found

And that’s the sound trust makes

There is a sound even when it breaks

Too much

It hurts too much

But still we stay and we revel in the pain
