PRETEND I'M FUR Lyrics

Pillow on the Ground
Tick Tock, road block.
Deep breath, too much worry spent.
Black or white, too many shades of gray.
Sunsets on another day.

And I know it ain’t the life you chose.
It’s all you’ve ever known…
so hold your head up high,
have faith in love.
In time, it’ll all come back around.
Find your pillow on the ground
‘cause baby we all fall down
and the world spins round.

Fate rests on a cheap dress.
Dark days turn to darker ways.
Night falls, hope calls.
You don’t pick up
‘cause you think you’ve had enough.

Round and round…round and round…

And we all fall down.

Memphis
If you come back and I’m not here then I’m gone.
Must be moving on, must be moving on.
If you stay and choose to turn away,
you’ll never know that everything has changed.
If you leave before me don’t look back
‘cause leaving is all I ever planned.

But the summertime in Memphis makes me miss you.
And California sunshine reminds me that time flies.
Autumn leaves in NY leave me wanting more of that winter in Denver
when you finally mentioned forever.

This big old world it won’t stop
not for a broken heart, not for a broken heart.
I know it gets better every day.
These days they wash away just like summer rain.
If you leave before me don’t look back
‘cause leaving is all you really have.

But the summertime in Memphis makes me miss you.
And California sunshine reminds me that time flies.
Autumn leaves in NY leave me wanting more
of that winter in Denver
when you finally mentioned forever.

The road is long ‘cause it always bring you back
to another tomorrow and a solid dose of the past

that’s why…
summertime in Memphis makes me miss you.
And California sunshine reminds me that time flies.
Autumn leaves in NY leave me wanting more
of that winter in Denver
when you finally mentioned forever.

BE
Open eyes wide to the sunshine,
lift your head up, time to get up.
Another day break just for hope’s sake.
Changes making, chances taking
time to be.

So behold me and all of this beauty.
Behold me and all of this beauty.
Behold me I am free,
free to be.

Hold on loosely, let it flow.
Light as a feather, heart that knows.
Take a deep breath then a small step.
Now you’re dreaming, finally seeing
time to be.

So behold me and all of this beauty.
Behold me and all of this beauty.
Behold me I am free,
free to be.

Say Goodbye
I could stay here in this car forever
wondering about where I’ve been.
I could stay here in this car forever
not caring where I end up in the end.

I could stay here in this car forever
your hand barely touching mine.
No warm embrace just the thrill of the chase.
We don’t what it means but that don’t mean a thing

Except that I can’t so I won’t even try - I can’t say goodbye..,

I could stay here in this car forever
wondering why you never called.
I could stay here in this car forever
pretending that I’m above it all.

I could stay here in this car forever
listening to the news of the world I’m driving thru.
If nothing stays the same, why is it so hard to change.

No, I can’t so I won’t even try - I can’t say goodbye..,

And it’s such a fine day for a little bit of change,
but you said hit the breaks, hit the breaks, hit the breaks…
No, I can’t so I won’t even try - I can’t say goodbye..,

Goodbye

Say Goodbye

Goodbye

Be Still My Heart
Once in a lifetime you’ll find a perfect moment in time,
but perfection unwinds and it leaves you blind…

So paint me as I am, I’ll draw us as we were
you’ll write a song so true the words means nothing to you…

Please be still my heart,
even though my mind wants to run around
with every thought in town…
(please be still my heart)

Once in a lifetime you’ll find a perfect moment in time,
and perfection is fine if it don’t unwind…
If it don’t unwind…
(please be still my heart)

I’ll Love You Forever & Other Lies
Sunsets on a quiet beach.
Waves crash on the shore beneath our feet.
Time stands still, the past slips away.
You turn to me and solemnly say…

I’ll love you forever and I’ll tell you other lies.
Forever is like the weather no the sun can’t always shine.
But I’ll love you forever and I’ll mean it when I say it
‘cause I’m desperate. Not for you but for forever.

Sunsets on a quiet home.
You know it’s time to leave and I’m ready to be alone.
You stand in the doorway nothing left to say,
But I’ve got a few words I’ve saved just for today:

I’ll love you forever and I’ll tell you other lies.
Forever is like the weather no the sun can’t always shine.
But I’ll love you forever and I’ll mean it when I say it
‘cause I’m desperate. Not for you but for forever.

LA LA LOST lyrics

I'D LOVE TO MISS L.A.
I need love - all they offer me is drugs
I need love - all they offer me is drugs

How I'd love to miss L.A.
Like a long lost lover that barely got away.
I'd love to miss L.A.

I need a friend - all they offer me is the best
I need a friend - all they offer me is the best
the best in...
hotels and fancy cars, liquor and movie stars
broken dreamers, over-achievers
one-liners, part-timers

Oh I’d love to miss L.A.
Like a black & white movie that hardly ever plays.
I'd love to miss L.A.

He said 'don't go getting all big time on me'
She said 'instead of talking what you don't want,
start talking about what you need'
And he said 'I'd love to miss L.A.
Like I'll miss you in the morning when my words aren't yet awake.
I'd love to miss L.A.'

UH-HUH
Clock that ticks, time that winds. You hold me back I walk a line
between love & death and life & loss.

Happiness, oh heart of stone, I’ll never know from where you grow.
Has it all been said and loved and lost?

Uh-Huh
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Ba-ba
Uh-Huh

I’ll seek truth and you seek you.
We’ll see that truth is self-serving too.
Has it all been said and done and bought.

Uh-Huh
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Ba-ba
Uh-Huh

Is it wind or cars passing by that creates the illusion all things fly?
Has it all been said and loved and lost?
Has it all been said and done and bought?

Uh-Huh
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da
Bah-da-bah-da Bah-da-da-da-da
Ba-ba
Uh-Huh

Uh-Huh

Uh-Huh

LITTLE WARS
You make me feel like I can’t feel anything
You make me feel like I can’t feel anything, oh baby and
You make me feel like I hardly know myself
You make me feel like I hardly know myself, oh baby but

I am what I am and you are what you are
I am what I am and you are what you are
And we’re so much more than our little wars.

You make me feel like I’ve got potential
You make me feel like I’ve got potential, oh baby and
You make me feel like I might be special
You make me feel like I might be special, oh baby but

I am what I am and you are what you are
I am what I am and you are what you are
And we’re so much more than our little wars.

I read the news today they say we put our Gods to shame.
Then I saw it on TV they say the honey bees forgot how to breed.
And so I try to walk the line between caring and doing fine,
then you put your hand in mine and say baby let’s get high. Cause

I am what I am and you are what you are
I am what I am and you are what you are
I am what I am and you are what you are
And we’re so much more than our little wars.

BORDERLINE
Don’t know how to fall, I’ve surrounded myself with soft dirt & padded walls
Don’t know how to love at least that’s what I’ve been told by some.
And history repeats what we promised to delete, but I’ll prove them wrong

Cause I’m borderline in love with you and I think that I’m kinda pregnant too.
I’m borderline in love with you but this borderline love is making me blue.

There’s something about that look in your eyes
when you don’t really know I’ve been watching you for awhile.
There’s something about the words that fall from your lips
When you don’t think I’m really listening.

That’s why I’m borderline in love with you and I think that I’m kinda pregnant too.
I’m borderline in love with you but this borderline love is making me blue.

And when you look at me well I might look away
But my heart is telling me she thinks I ought to stay.
And my eyes might lie and you might not see there’s a sea of possibility.

That’s why I’m borderline in love with you and I think that I’m kinda pregnant too.
I’m borderline in love with you but this borderline love is making me blue.

It’s strange world after all and you could teach me to love or you could teach me to fall.

PAPER HEARTS
A few pieces of paper and a story to tell,
I'd prefer scissors to a pen...
some quiet time and that record you gave me
playing over and over again.

Yeah, I've drawn from the start the strings you
could pull if you could only see, but I'll never tell
and you'll never sell the heart you made for me.

Paper Hearts, Paper Hearts

Then it all goes flat we trade words like space,
words I remember, words I erase.
Yeah, you found the time to tell me your heart wasn't built for two.
Well, it's not a tandem bike I want, baby it's just you.

Yeah, I've drawn from the start the strings you
could pull if you could only see, but I'll never tell
and you'll never sell the heart you made for me.

Paper Hearts, Paper Hearts

Late at night I wonder why simple called it a day
So I offer you what makes me short of breath in an unassuming way. In return I get a glance maybe two at best
and a little miscommunication at no extra charge.

Our Paper Hearts, Paper Hearts
Wish I knew from the start you could tear them a part.
Oh our Paper Hearts, our Paper Hearts.

MORE ROCK N' ROLL
I’ll travel this land bottle in hand, change lovers like underwear
Have mountains of blow like decorative snow scattered ‘round me in endless rows.

And when you find yourself in the arms of another remember you let me go.
Remember I said as you walked out my door: I’ll try to be more rock n’ roll.

I’ll love my whiskey cause no man ever loved me like she does
I’ll even love his crooked smile if he leaves when the morning comes.

Yeah when you find yourself in the arms of another remember you let me go.
Remember I said as you walked out my door: I’ll try to be more rock n’ roll.

You said normally girls are faithful and boys can’t keep it in their pants.
Well I have to tell you darlin’ I think you might be wrong ‘bout that.

Yeah when you find yourself in the arms of another remember you let me go.
Remember I said as you walked out my door: I’ll try to be more rock n’ roll.

IN TIME
I’m alone in this bar on this street in this town
I’m alone in this bar on this street in this town because I found…

That timing is always of consequence and life is mostly defined by what you get…in time.

I’m alone in my head in my heart in this bed
I’m alone in my head in my heart in this bed once again…

Because timing is always of consequence and life is mostly defined by what you get…in time.

Falling in love ain’t a crime
Falling in love again ain’t a crime,
but the fall in reverse is more like a climb once you find…

That timing is always of consequence and life is mostly defined by what you get.
Timing is always of consequence.
But maybe life is mostly defined by what you give…in time.

THE PIECES
It’s always hard to walk away when you feel like there’s something left to say.
It’s always hard to say goodbye when you can’t recall every reason why.

I can pretend my heart ain’t breaking, you can pretend your mind ain’t racing
But every word should count, every word falls from your mouth should pick up
the pieces.

Life is precious, life is good, life don’t behave like she should.
Life is bearable sometimes unkind life is all you’ve ever left behind.

I can pretend my heart ain’t breaking, you can pretend your mind ain’t racing
But every word should count, every word falls from your mouth should pick up
the pieces.

I thought I had the words right. I lost them last night.
Escaping the truth seemed right at the time.
Wish I had a button to activate something I’ve been searching for
for sometime

I can pretend my heart ain’t breaking, you can pretend your mind ain’t racing
But every word should count, every word falls from your mouth should pick up
the pieces.

WE COULD ALL BE FLAWLESS
Falling slowly in love with nothing.
You said why’s it gotta hurt so bad
I said maybe just because it can.

And somehow I thought you thought of me
Somehow I thought you wanted me

But I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?
But I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?

Picture the future, our past tense like a river.
You’re running and I‘m sinking low.
I always knew you’d watch me fold.

So I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?
So I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?

Cause it’s a long long drive and I don’t think I’ve got the time.

That’s why I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?
I’m checking out tomorrow could you spare a light?
No never mind.
No never mind.

PORCUPINE IN A PETTING ZOO
When you ask for so little you seem to get less.
More, like height markings on the frame of a door.
Oh the child in me always wished to be taller
and the grown-up always wished to be smaller.

I’m a porcupine in a petting zoo but enough about me lets talk about you.
I’m a porcupine in a petting zoo but enough about me lets talk about you.

If I watch too much TV I might forget how to breathe,
And sometimes the radio makes me feel strangely low.
And my ship set sail and the chips are down.
Oh but someone turned the sun off and let moon out.

I’m a porcupine in a petting zoo but enough about me lets talk about you.
I’m a porcupine in a petting zoo but enough about me lets talk about being…

La la la la la lost
La la la la la lost
La la la la la la la la la la lost

BREAK-UPS & COMMITMENTS
I'm trying to walk away, but you're begging me stay.
Not with the words you say but with that look upon your face,
the one that says

Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.
Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.

I once mentioned forever, I saw your face fall down.
You hit the ground running and without making a sound you said:

Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.
Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.

So Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Stars
Goodnight to all the lonely hearts hanging out in bars saying:

Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.
Break-ups and Commitments are little deaths & I don't wanna die.
But I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life.

ALL MY METAPHORS
Do you sleep…do you dream…do you fuck…do you scream
...do you always walk into a room like a run-on sentence?

I’m so in love with love that I could never let you hate me
But passion she just ain’t your friend, simplicity is my enemy

And now this rain is not hopeful
this rain is not brave
this rain is not sadness
this rain is not change
it’s water falling from the sky
Water falling from my eyes
Water falling on me and all my metaphors

You said temptation is for derelicts and lovebirds
I said you and I are both at best
Then I try to let you be
But the great escape escapes me
And you remind me that time even lets the good things die

That’s why this rain is not hopeful
this rain is not brave
this rain is not sadness
this rain is not change
it’s water falling from the sky
Water falling from my eyes
Water falling on me and all my metaphors

So run-on, run-on, run-on, run-on like sentence

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH lyrics

TURN
The future’s tense, the past is dividing regrets.
You can’t sleep ‘cause you’re scared of the absence of dreams.
Time is wasting time. You remember the time you used to mind.
And it seems so strange how everything just stays the same.
But hold on, something’s going down ‘round here.
Hold on, someone’s getting out of here.

And it turns me on. It turns me right. It turns me, turns me inside.
Turn me on. Turn me now. Turn me inside out.

It’s a brand new day, you speak less ‘cause you’ve got too much to say.
You turn on the T.V. – someone’s selling something for free.
But hold on, something’s going down ‘round here.
Hold on, someone’s getting out of here.

And it turns me on. It turns me right. It turns me, turns me inside.
Turn me on. Turn me now. Turn me inside out.

Occasionally the world's an unhappy place (PLAN ACCORDINGLY)
Two tickets for the moon, got nothin’ to lose
A rocket ship to change, darlin’ we’re on our way.
Take life as it comes. Why’s she shooting arrows and firing guns?
I heard there’s life on Mars, You’ve heard I have a heart.

Occasionally the world’s an unhappy place so plan accordingly.
Please plan accordingly.

Feels like I’ve been crying for over 100 years.
And there’s still no river and way too many tears.
So I say so long to sorrow you’ve been a good friend of mine,
but every new beginning something’s got to die.

Occasionally the world’s an unhappy place so plan accordingly..
Please plan accordingly…

Cause now here we are in our one room palace.
Tomorrow seems like such a challenge.
Close your eyes baby I’ll whisper in the dark –
Ready Get Set Depart

Occasionally the world’s an unhappy place so plan accordingly.
Please plan accordingly.

RID OF YOU
I used to love you with a flick of the wrist, with a toss of the head and a shift of the hips.
But baby I know that just ain’t enough, I know deep down in side you ain’t that tough
and now you’re running out of luck

Cause I’m rid of you like a snake shed its skin
Sending you on your way
with used to be’s and could’ve beens.
I don’t think I’ll remember your name.
no no no no no

On the radio the band played on, no we never had a favorite song.
Could the DJ play along?

Cause I’m rid of you like a snake shed its skin
Sending you on your way
with used to be’s and could’ve beens.
I don’t think I’ll remember your name.

No the dog can’t catch the wolf though he always almost could.
And the hammer loves the nail but it’s the wood he ain’t ever gonna fail.

Yeah, I’m rid of you like a snake shed its skin
Sending you on your way
with used to be’s and could’ve beens.
I don’t think I’ll remember your name. no no no
I don’t think I’ll remember your name. no no no no no no
And I’ll never be the same.

WRECK ME
Can we start from the beginning? I’ll pretend I had no idea
that you never intended to call. No, you had no intentions at all.
You left me climbing up the walls, waiting for the fall.

Can we start from the beginning? I’ll pretend I had no idea
that you knew that you could wreck me.Yeah, you knew that you could wreck me.
These games that we’re playing, someday they’ll have no meaning.

But if you hold me tonight like you intend to call me tomorrow,
your words don’t have to be true; they could even be bought or borrowed.
Don’t have a finger that needs a ring or wedding bells that are dying to sing.
But my days are getting shorter and my nights they stay long.
And I’m only pretending, I’m pretending to be strong.

Can we start from the beginning? I’ll pretend I had no idea
that you never intended to stay, that I’d cry when you walked away.
And no I don’t even know you, but what I don’t know always haunts me.

But if you hold me tonight like you intend to call me tomorrow,
your words don’t have to be true; they could even be bought or borrowed.
Don’t have a finger that needs a ring or wedding bells that are dying to sing.
But my days are getting shorter and my nights they stay long.
And I’m only pretending, I’m pretending to be strong.

Can we start from the beginning?I’ll pretend I had no idea
that you knew that you could wreck me.Yeah, you knew that you could wreck me.
These games that we’re playing, someday they’ll have no meaning.
They’ll have no meaning…

SILENCE IS ALL WE NEED
Silence is all we need
But it’s been so god-damn quiet that I can hardly see.
Silence is all we need
Patience is all we need
But I’ve been so god-damn patient that I can hardly see.
Patience is all we need
Forgiveness is all we need.
But I’ve been so god-damn forgiving now you can no longer see
that forgiveness is all we need.
Silence is all we need
But I’ve been so god-damn quiet that I can hardly see.
Silence is all we need.
