Skeleton Key 02:01
What have we got we've got eachother for one another we've got a lot We were strangers we became lovers under the covers we hide from the dangers Something's got ahold of me it could be love as far as I can see when it comes to my heart you've got the skeleton key You held my hand and I grew wings each time it brings me further from land I think you're swell and you think I'm keen nothing can come in between, us

You're just a friend that's all you'll be not just a friend you mean so much to me Though I'll never get all the words right know I'm gonna put up one hell of a fight when you need a smoke I'll give you a light when you need to talk I'll be there that night a circle is round, it has no end that's how long I wanna be your friend I'll always, always, always be there and it hurts me most when you think I wont care I worry about you every day until I know you're gonna be okay But I need to let some things go cause I've been so sick, so sick in my heart and I need to let you know that even death could not break us apart a circle is round, it has no end that's how long I wanna be your friend

Inspiration makes my mind wander when the drops fall from the clouds how could I resist growing fonder my eye seeks your face in all the crowds They'll say you're older they'll say i'm younger just means you're bolder I've got more hunger why do they bother we've got each other now So really we're quite a good pair like socks in the underwear drawer one is dirty, one's more fair in the big toe they both have tore They'll say you're older they'll say i'm younger just means you're bolder I've got more hunger why do they bother we've got each other now So even though we're strange just give me a hug like a pair of socks you dare not change cause now they're comfy and quite snug They'll say you're older they'll say i'm younger just means you're bolder I've got more hunger why do they bother we've got each other now

Something's waiting for me at home tonight and it's not someone to hold me tight I've waited these eight long hours to surrender to it's powers all my friends are alcoholics and if it's not a boy that's tall it's some whiskey that treats us all the same some gin that never forgets our name something weaker something stronger something that keeps us drunker longer I made some new words up today they took the rest of my beer away and yes I'm safe to drive a car if you'll just five more hours stay It used to take me only three beers now it takes me twelve and a half and I've been drunk for probably three whole years but I'm not very good at math one or two of something stronger three or four keeps us drunker longer
5.
Something wont let you say how you're really feeling and something wont let your tongue play the words, the notes you're stealing and am I gonna have to wait for all we know it's too late but it may just be too early to tell is it the way I fell? so cry me a river I've already filled the ocean and could you cry me a liver cause I'm stuck in a drinking motion I'm making up for the both of us since your mouth can't seem to open Till then I'll sway with the trees back and forth with the leaves wet with the melancholy breeze no one knows but everybody sees

Two Birds 03:19
There's a letter on my finger of when she goes my love will linger until the tides decide to bring her I will be waiting There's a letter on her hand that only I understand explanations are in demand how do I put this Maybe that there's no need to touch in this love that means too much to explain in petty words we're just two birds and even in our flight there is one thing we know is right that no matter what this wont die even if we do
7.
As someone once said to me a house is made with boards and beams but a home is made with love and dreams and fire sets the wood asteams to both I was only seven years and flashing through the hopes and fears my mind sets both my eyes to tears when all the memories so dears are gone My home, My home, my home is gone the flames mixed with the sky that dawn and as I sat the grassy lawn was no comfort to sit upon
