(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, E. Ross)

Got so much potential, that’s what I gave away
10 years spent married, goin’ down the drain
I never mention, I’m a walking hand grenade
But I never pull that pin

I hide in meditation, I hide behind gratitude
I pray in resignation, all reverse of true
I say yes, when I really mean no
Never have the guts to say get off and leave me alone
  
I’ll do anything for you, never anything for me

But don’t you worry, I won’t ever speak the truth.
I’ll smile and you can always count on me to cave in to you
And I can count on this from you
To have you throw it all back in my face every day throw it all back in my face
And man I just want to get off.

I’ll do anything for you, never anything for me

(so much to love, so much to love...)

CAN’T GET UP
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, E. Ross)

My happiness is fake
It gets me through the day when I’d rather be alone
I twist and turn around anger and sex.
I’m still stuck in the place of being on the verge

Oh if you really knew how I come undone
(so close…so dear)
 
C’mon C’mon
I can’t get up, I can’t get up

My greatest shame is not being married
And I love everyone except the one
I take a shower and get dressed
I’m about to shatter into so much glass

Oh if you really knew how I come undone
(so close…so dear)

C’mon C’mon
I can’t get up, I can’t get up

DIDN’T TREAT EACH OTHER KIND
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire)

There is the beginning
I see it from the start,  when you walk in the room
Rumours they were running,
Keeping us apart, staying far ahead of truth

I didn’t treat you very kind
We didn’t treat each other kind
Will I finally come around
Or will I fall down

Sideways to the light
And the window in between, we’ll find profit in time
But 14 years is long
For the heart to skip a beat, to find the dream we left behind

I didn’t treat you very kind
We didn’t treat each other kind
Will I finally come around
Or will I fall down

YOUR TEARS
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, with T. Mallon)

If you should cry
From haunted dreams
I will come and take your hand
Soothe your fears

Then we will go
I don’t know where
That depends on our story
You’ll decide.

I will say, through our window there is light
13 houses in the sky
You will point to where
To places we will go
  
Your tears will fall away
Places we will go
Your tears will fall away

This many things
Can be lucky
A thousand years of changing guards
To step across

Look who is here
She is waiting
Hoping that you’ll make a wish
In her dreams

She will dance, diamond shoes that catch the light
Angel’s touch and impish eyes
She will lead us there
To places we will go.

Your tears will fall away
Places we will go
Your tears will fall away

Now close your eyes
See that I’m with you
Soon you will sleep
See that I’m with you

And your tears will fall away
Places we will go
Your tears will fall away

SUZANNE
(D. Hurd, J. McGuire, with N. Lualhati)

Suzanne, what sort of move is this
While I was calling you my friend
The moon had married the wind
And you had vanished by then

Suzanne, I know how crowded shelves can get
And though I’ve fallen off the end
I would like to throw my arms around you
Throw my arms around you

Suzanne, I’m thinking of a love song
Are these the final notes to Saturn hymns and nearly sisters’ themes
I would like to throw my arms around you
Throw my arms around you

All in all, Suzanne, it’s a narrow shelf you place your friends
Add another, bump one off, each hero slides toward the end
Into thin air I go, and when reach for you
There is not a hand when I hit the floor

I would like to throw my arms around you
Throw my arms around you, Suzanne

WHENEVER WE WANT
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire)
Whenever I want
Whenever I need you to run
Into my arms
I have to love…
Is no how
There’s never a way by your side
Into your eyes
I reach for your heart
  
It’s a wonderful time to step high in the air
Bringing the gods down to see if we care

Whenever we need
Whenever we keep our love tight
Into your eyes
I reach for your heart
  
But will we live within our season
Will we bring the gods down to earth
Or will we learn the truth too late
Empty rooms that still have echoes
Never be much the better for our lives
Never touch the burning point of life

Whenever I want
Whenever I need you to run
Into my arms
I have to love…
Is no how
There’s never a way by your side
Into your eyes
I reach for your heart

STRENGTH AND SONG
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, E. Ross)

My restless child, you know
I was there on the first day to shower you
Silver and gold, into my arms
My love

Child is born
You’re my morning star
Heaven sent you down
My beautiful girl
Hands of love
I want you to know
You're my strength and song

My brown-eyed girl, who knows
What good am I on your dark days
All the colors of your world pouring down
My love

So rise and shine
My morning star
Heaven sent you down
My beautiful girl
Hands of love
I want you to know
You're my strength and song

What does it take for me to reach you
Those voices stuck inside that keep you
I turn around for help to teach you
A still we fight until I come to free you
My love

When I’m gone
My morning star
Heaven’s waiting now
My beautiful girl
Hands of love
I want you to know
You were my strength and song

My love

HOLD ME TONIGHT
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire)

I’m speaking to myself
Make it possible to realize
A river runs through open hands and underhand
And the house I leave behind

The roof I leave behind may stretch across the world

Hold me tonight
Maybe you’re someone who will change my mind

I draw a line across my door
On the giveaway, the spell of compromise
I make a strong case for being alone
It’s easier than when I close my eyes
The roof I leave behind may stretch across the world

Hold me tonight
Maybe you’re someone who will change my mind

EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR (A SONG FOR TRAVIS)
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, E. Ross)

There’s a boy I know been beaten down his whole life
Say he don’t have nothing to live for
But if you turn it around and look in his eyes
You’ll see, see what i’m talking about

Don’t you know that you’re a prophet
And I want you to know
You can show me so much more than I know
Cuz you have everything to live for

There’s a girl I know been pushed around her whole life
Say she don’t have nothing to live for
But she turned it around, you can look in her eyes
You’ll see, see what I’m talking about

Don’t you know that you’re a prophet
And I want you to know
You can show me so much more than I know
Cuz you have everything to live for
  
You don’t let anyone see
What you think or feel
But could it be
If you did you’d heal
All the years of scars
And loneliness
Inside, the war’s
Still making such a mess

Don’t you know that you’re a prophet
And I want you to know
You can show me so much more than I know
Cuz you have everything to live for

YEAR OF GRACE
(D. Hurd, S. McGuire, E. Ross)

Sleep inside the place between a wall and the things that you need
The pull is so strong, stay
You are an hour away, if that is a year
When darkness comes on your face

You want to know an hour, you want to know for sure
You want to know if I have, you want to know today,
Is this a year of grace

Hey girl, I hear these days your room has no door
You’re a puppet on strings again
Be sure of where you place your feet is just where they’ll land
On the fault where we live, you know the saints move beneath

You want to know an hour, you want to know for sure
You want to know if I have, you want to know today,
Is this a year of grace

What if your room had a door
and when your feet
hit the floor
nothing would move

You want to know an hour, you want to know for sure
You want to know if I have, you want to know today,
Is this a year of grace

DEAR PAUL
(S. McGuire, E. Ross)

If anyone else should tell you you wear your heart out on your sleeve
You're much too nice to ever believe, Dear Paul, I know. I know.

Even when life becomes the dream we say we never want to wake from
There's always someone there to take from you, dear Paul. I know.

But when you start wipe the tears, tears upon your face
I know a smile will soon replace them and we're all away.

If anyone else should tell you you wear your heart out on your sleeve,
You're much too much to ever believe, Dear Paul, I know. I know. I know.
