Introduction

Don't have a lot to say
So don't put me in charge
In front of all these people
I don't know who they are

And when you introduce me
I think you've made a big mistake
And when you introduce me
I just don't know what to say
So I don't say anything

Don't set me up this way
I don't know who she is
I kissed her yesterday
Still don't know who she is

So here I am on stage
I'm singing all my songs
In front of all you people
I don't know who you are

Funny Thing About Time

Funny thing about time
How it gets in your mind
And especially mine
Funny how I captured that thought
And I wrote it all down
And I made it a song

I tried to catch you laughing at me
I don't know what makes you happy
I'm afraid that I don't understand

Now that I've exposed my thoughts
Poured out all the details
When can we get it on?
Give me the benefit of the doubt
I'm only seventeen
I didn't work it all out

You don't have to laugh at me
I was only trying to keep things happy
I'm afraid that I don't understand
I am an ordinary man
Back to the top of the page.

If I Wasn't Wonderful

Seal my fate
Share my faith
In one true thing
Do you believe...

You're looking at it,
You're looking at it right now

If I wasn't wonderful
You wouldn't love me so
If I didn't tell you so
How would you ever know

You're not as sad
As I once thought
You're all I have
I'm all you've got
Back to the top of the page.

Friday Night

Where were you last night? 
I called for you everywhere?
I smelled of perfume
I was waiting on the stairs
With my head on my knees
And a pout on my lips
I had done my hair

It shows how much you love me
It shows how much you care
It shows you don't respect me
It shows you're never there

I'm tired, I'm going to bed now
Going to sleep now...good night.

'Cause I'm so disappointed
My heart is in my shoes
And I'm so tired of waiting
I'm getting over you

Guess that I should have read a good book tonight
I know I can look forward to Saturday
What a good way to spend my Friday night
What would I have done with you anyway?

I called your best friend
He said you were out with me
I'll wait here longer
Maybe you are on your way
So I sit and I wait
I turn on the TV
But it's really late

And I'm so tired of waiting
You're nowhere in my sight
I'm getting kind of sleepy
So I turn out the light
Back to the top of the page.

Trip

Must've been the way she looked at me
It might've been the way she turned her head and said
Come on...

Might've been the fact that I'm so lonely
Might've been a feeling, now it's passing
Come on...

Like when yesterday
You tried to make me feel better
Like I was on top of the world

Read a book about a girl
It's all about love
There is nothing in the world
Exactly like love
There is nothing I won't do
To be with you, to be with you

Do you remember the feeling of touching?
Feeling...feeling...

And everybody is a little bit of everybody else
And everybody needs a little love at least if nothing else

Read a book about a guy
He's a super-spy
A supermodel private eye
Love keeps him alive
There is nothing I won't do
To be with you, to be with you

Chords A Friend Suggested

These are the chords that were suggested
By some old friend of mine
Written down but never tested
But I think they sound just fine

But is that enough...to stand the test of time?
Hell no says Dave!

I've got a friend named Squier Moon
Who says they are rip-offs
He says they sound just like the pixies
So where does he get off?

But is that enough...to stand the test of time?
Hell no says Barb! (and their old drummer, Mark)

Bleu

You tell me love is sacred
Yes, and I think that's fine
But I could never tell you lies
I could keep a secret
That's what I do for you
But then we both would end up blue

And I'll protect us both this time
You're mine, all mine
And that's just what I'll do
'Cause I still love you
I do...I still do

I don't remember what it was
That wasn't fair
It never mattered anyway
And I don't care
I couldn't be more heart-full
I couldn't make it out
I throw myself down on the ground
Back to the top of the page.

Purple

Let there be light, the world begins
In black and white, color it in
King Crayon says, "Your color please"
So you pick red, purple for me

Someone taps me on the shoulder and says,
"What kind of color is that to be?"
I look at him and he's holding blue, and say, 
"Who are you to judge me?"

What's wrong with people?
What's wrong with purple?

King Crayon laughed and shut the box
I try again but I am blocked
"You cannot be that color now"
I try again, and I pick brown

Someone pushes me from behind, and says,
"You cannot be the brown"
I look at him and he's holding green
And ask how he thinks red sounds...
Back to the top of the page.

Deanna

I remember the time
Deanna entered my mind
Made me feel so fine

Deanna opened my eyes
Around her I don't lie
Cause I see that she knows me

She seems so, oh, so innocent
And what I said isn't what I meant
I'd love to love her but I can't
And what I said isn't what I meant

Deanna lays on the ground
So if you're lost and found
Talk to me, or not to me
Back to the top of the page.

Milk

Milk, don't leave it in the fridge too long
If you drink it before the date
On cereal it's really great

Moo, we get it from a dairy cow
All full of fat and calcium
Two percent and whole and skim

It does a body good

Milk, nothing goes as good with cake
Drink as much as you can take
After you clean your plate

Milk, mix it up with chocolate
Make it chocolaty and thick
So much chocolate you get sick

It does a body good

I drink milk cause it's good for me
It gives the calcium I need

Milk, making cheese and ice cream
One is salty, one is sweet
Groovy things for you and I to eat

It does a body good
Back to the top of the page.

Put Down

It happened again, I'm talking
And I'm convinced, that I sound wrong
A habit so hard, for our hero
I play me so down, clutching at some heart

When stupid things come out of my mouth
I want you to write all of them down

If people are talking
They don't know what they're talking about
If people are shouting, 
They don't know what they're saying, they shout

If people are walking
They never stop talking, they fall down
They find it amusing
And somehow confusing, I'm a clown
Back to the top of the page.

I Could Be Wrong

I came in the kitchen, I washed my hands
I helped you make dinner again
I sat at the table, stared at my soup
I wanted to look right at you

I lifted my head and thought 'here I go'
But all that came out was a squeak from my throat
And you laughed at me for such a silly sound
And silence is broken now
So we both laughed, I made a face
But then you stopped, it was out of place

"Why did you do that?" you sat asking me
"I don't really know."
You said, 
"This is still serious, and I'm still upset...
You can't just blow it off like that"

So there it was, you had laid it out
We now had things to talk about
The very same things that had made us mad
You are the good guy and I am the bad

As harmony goes, this is no opera
If she wants to go, there's nothing to stop her
And life will go on, won't be any harder
And all will be gone, all will be gone
And I could be wrong...

You want to sit down and talk it through
We sit on the couch, I listen to you
So why get so mad? It's not such a big deal
You think I'm dumb, that's just how you feel
I won't drop my guard, get it though my hard head
And I didn't hear a single word you said
Back to the top of the page.

Kiss Once (live)

This is different, this is strange
I never thought of you this way
I hope that it's okay with you

I hardly ever think anymore
But when I do it's all about you
You probably think we made a mistake
But then I got to thinking, 
"It's too late, you're probably right"

Think twice, kiss once
Let's never do that agian
And hope that we can still be friends

I never thought we'd end up this way
You can't even look me in the eye
And that's not right
Let's start it all over again
And go back to the best it's ever been
Until the end

Think twice, kiss once
Let's never do that again
And hope that we can still be friends
Let's start it all over again
And go back to the best it's ever been
Back to the top of the page.

Get Together

What do you get for paying attention?
You get bored
What do you get for all your daydreaming?
Well of course...
It all depends what you dream about

Some boys get a whole lot more than girls
Some girls get a little bit more than boys
And when they try to sit together
Some boys get a whole lot more than girls
Some girls get a little bit more than boys
And when they try to get together

Kaboom! Yahoo!
They're all gettin' married
Kaboom! Yahoo!
They're havin' a baby

What do you get for paying attention?
You get boys
What do you get for all your daydreaming?
You get girls
Back to the top of the page.

Tantrum

I never, never knew that I could make you laugh
'Cause you never do that
I never ever regret it when I do
I see the difficulty you have
By the way that you're looking at me
Can I just give you a hand, not charity...

That would be too simple
Maybe you should do it all
Get a grip, stop throwing things
I'd like to see you laugh again

I thought I'd seen it all

You don't have to shout
'Cause I'm right here
Right in front of your mouth
I listen and every word you say is true
So that's what this is about
I didn't know when I took the rubbish out
With some of your favorite things
That you hold dear

I can understand you're mad
Don't take it out on me
Even though it is my fault
I don't deserve to take this all
I couldn't be more serious
It's better for the both of us

I thought I'd seen it all

Days never ever go by 
Without a tantrum, a poke in the eye
I thought you might've grown up since yesterday
Oh here we go again
I'm dodging you, but I cannot defend
Myself from the flying food
What can I do?

I thought I'd seen it all
Back to the top of the page.

The Structure

Certain things won't go your way
There's nothing you can do
So try to bite your tongue and say
Just enjoy the view

Don't let those little words interrupt the structure

There is no connection
Between the way I was feeling
And how I am feeling
Completely beyond it
I can't believe I was worried
And now I'm not worried

I'm having the time of my life
My friends are all here
And I can't help but smile
I'm making the best of my time
My head is all clear
And I'm preoccupied with mine

I'm having a feeling
That I remember the future
All candy and roses
Can't heal the bumps and the bruises
