If I'm Being Honest
03:27
|
|||
If I’m being honest with myself, I’m heartbroken over you
I haven’t known you long but I can tell that I’m pinning too much on you
It hurts to feel like I could care
I’m trying to not to but I can’t stop
I want to know how you’re doing and be there
If I’m being honest with myself, I’m too dramatic in times like these
Keep tiptoeing right up to the edge of impossible feelings
I wish I had control over this
It makes me feel very small
That you might think I’m insignificant
That you might not care at all
Did I imagine it all?
I don’t trust my sense of time
I may have got it mixed up in my mind
And I want to know
I don’t want to think about the end, I want only beginnings
Deep inside my fantasy where I’m most comfortable living
It’s not like I’ve never known love, but every time I fall, I fall so far

True Romantic
04:58
|

You say it was a waste of time and oh, how we tortured each other
You say that it’s impossible, we never could figure how to be together
You say love isn’t enough
We’re too unstable
And how about I find an accountant? That’s what you said to me
The kind who could counterbalance, and make life so easy
You say love isn’t enough
How could I even believe it could work out
I must be a true romantic
I must be a true romantic
I must be a true romantic
I didn’t give up
Remember when you rigged above the door to make a cascade of flowers?
Or when we laughed about cereal for what seemed like hours?
How is it possible?
You’d rather be alone
I don’t know what my life should be
And there’s reasonable people all around me
Their life makes sense, love makes sense too
Honey we got love, but nothing makes sense with you
Nothing makes sense with you
They say love isn’t enough
We’re too unstable
I must be a true romantic
I must be a true romantic
I must be a true romantic
I didn’t give up
I must be a true romantic (or a fool!)
I must be a true romantic (or delusional!)
I must be a true romantic
I didn’t give up

Harbor Me
02:35
|
|||
I’ve been running all along, no road no home and all the time
Fire at the opera, a cigarette I won’t forget
Hoping you want me to stay with you a time
Unfailingly trying to keep you outta my mind
Warring times, warring times
Happily the fates aligned, I was in a pool of relief
Harmony is evident not thinking that you want to leave
Don’t believe what I say I was playing cool
If I lie I will make it into something true
Have to let what it is happen easily
I could change, I could change for you
Harbor me, harbor me
I’ve been leaning on my fate, I’m running the wrong way
I’ve been scared of fairy tales, I’m telling you to hold me back
Every time I think about what happened to what got left out
Holding me I want it back I want anew I won’t forget
I won’t forget, I won’t forget, I won’t forget, I won’t forget

Bad Love
03:39
|
|||
Bad kisses under moonlight
Bad advances on the floor
Bad looks across a crowded room
Bad love is all I know
Bad whispers in the movie show
Bad touches of the hand
Bad lovers making bad plans
Bad love is all I have
Oh it’s bad love, bad love, bad love
Bad wishes in bad wishing wells
Bad dreams most every night
Bad hearts following bad advice
This love is not alright
A fish can love a turtle dove
But they’ve nowhere to live
And a turtledove can’t take a heart
The fish don’t wanna give
Oh it’s bad love, bad love, bad love
Do you remember
Those days we spent rolling around
But now I’ll never be good again
Now that you’re gone
Only bad love, bad love, bad love

Feelings Are Real
02:39
|

I prefer the dream to the real
Can’t deny the way that I feel
And feelings are real, feelings are real

You Feel Like Paradise
04:15
|
|||
You’re a doll and I’m a devil,
Begging at your heels.
Won’t you take me to your strange world?
I wanna know how it feels.
How am I supposed to know, unless we go?
Don’t be scared to be consumed,
Just take a step out of time.
Close the door to your bedroom,
And let me into your mind.
Oh my, isn’t this nice?
Oh my--
Is this heaven?
You feel like paradise!
I like your paradise.
Tender monster under your bed,
Lost in forget-me-not eyes.
Let me stay here tucked in your head,
And let me breathe in your sighs.
I’ll hold you close and kiss you slow
Hold you close and kiss you slow--
Let me stay here in your heaven
Cuz you feel like paradise!
And I like your paradise.
I wanna stay here in your heaven
Cuz you feel like paradise!
And I like your paradise.

Mama
03:01
|

Mama I don’t know what I got to do for you
But I got to do for you something more
Mama tell me how to help you in your need
I’m begging you please, tell me how
Ask and you’ll receive
I’m begging you please
Mama I don’t know what it’s gonna be for you
But I’m here, I’m here for you anyhow
Mama I believe you are better than you know
And I’m trying to show you how
Help yourself believe
You’ve got more than you see

Brazil
03:15
|
|||
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining june
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured “Someday soon…”
We clung together there
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
And still a million things to say
Now when the twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There’s one thing I’m certain of,
Return I will, to old Brazil

Casket and Cradle
03:51
|
|||
The dawn is rumbling unaware
Conquering rose, clinging ringing rose
Bouquets of flowers in the air
Ruffled skirts and dainty ornaments of metal
Casket and cradle, casket and cradle
The word chrysanthemum so warm inside
Suffering sounds divorce voluptuous delight
And the dying flesh of crystals
Images of the mesmerizer
Once I grew tired of crying I fell asleep
Ooh, casket and cradle, casket and cradle, casket and cradle
Psyche and Cupid, nocturnal rose of the body
And bunny rabbits we’re imagining
Caught up in a nightmare regime
Of virtual reality
Casket and cradle-- once I grew tired of crying I fell asleep-- casket and cradle
Casket and cradle-- once I grew tired of crying I fell asleep-- casket and cradle
Casket and cradle-- once I grew tired of crying I fell asleep

Power of Love
04:30
|
|||
I can’t remember the last time I wrote a letter
Letters mean something precious to me
I want to tell you
I know you don’t want to hear it
Don’t want to talk about it
But you better know
I want to love you ‘til the end of time
I want to be the real thing
Whether you like it or not, I know better
I want to hear your voice
I want to bear witness
Through the power of my love for you
My life is empty and without meaning
I can’t move on and I don’t want to try
I don’t care that it’s hard
I don’t care that it’s inconvenient
You don’t want to talk about it
You never want to want to talk about it
But you better know
I want to love you ‘til the end of time
I want to be the real thing
Whether you like it or not, I know better
I want to hear your voice
I want to bear witness
Through the power of my love for you
