Yes and No

Tell me why did everything change?
When did you become so aloof?
Suddenly you’re acting so strange
Now I have the burden of proof
There’s too many questions
Not enough confessions
I’ll try to understand if you only just…
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
It’s just not fair anymore
It’s just not fair
Your love for me is never the same
It changes from day to day
You’re treating everything like a game
Still afraid I don’t wanna play
Oh, there’s too many questions
Not enough confessions
I’ll try to understand if you only just…
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
It’s just not fair anymore
It’s just not fair
I can’t read your mind
It's changing all the time
But you know…
The answers are confined to...
Yes and no
-solo-
Oh, there’s too many questions
Not enough confessions
I’ll try to understand if you only just…
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
Don’t say yes when you mean no
And don’t say stop when you mean go
It’s just not fair anymore
It’s just not fair

The Snake Eye
03:01
|
|||
I was your love
But I broke your heart
I’m coming back
Let’s restart
I was the one who
Taught you how to
Be the one
that you are today
But everyone you know is giving me
The snake eye
Your sister and your friends
The snake eye
Co-workers and your cats
Are giving me the snake eye
i was your first
You were my best
We were so young
You know the rest
We made our own rules
Now we must break them
Who'd you be
If you never met me
But everyone you know is giving me
the snake eye
Your sister and your friends
the snake eye
Co-workers and your cats
are giving me the snake eye
But I don’t blame them… no….
We’ll run away from all the judges
If we stay, we’ll always carry our grudges
It’s up to us if we can make it
I don’t know if I can take it
I was your love
But I broke your heart
I’m coming back
Let’s restart
But everyone you know is giving me
The snake eye
Your sister and your friends
The snake eye
Co-workers and your cats
Are giving me the snake eye
But I don’t blame them… no….
But everyone you know is giving me
The snake eye
Your sister and your friends
The snake eye
Co-workers and your cats
Are giving me the snake eye

Drunk Dial
02:52
|
|||
Would it pain you if I wrote another song about you
I’ve spent a year and a half forgetting what I already knew
At first I thought we were both just going through a bad bit
But I cleaned up and you nose-dived in the worst of it
Now all I got’s your drunk dial
Now all I got’s your drunk dial
Well, I was fast asleep finally thinking everything’s okay
But I hear the phone ring, how are you, I can’t say
I pray to God that you’re alright but it’s late at night
It rang again and again until finally you gave up at daylight
Now all I got’s your drunk dial
Now all I got’s your drunk dial
- solo -
Well, I was fast asleep finally thinking everything’s okay
But I hear the phone ring, how are you, I can’t say
Now all I got’s your drunk dial
Now all I got’s your drunk dial

Wake Up The Sun
03:51

Wake up the sun
The rain is done
Let’s have some fun
On the run
No more school
No more classes to take
No more rules
To break
Before you know
The moon’s aglow
The stars like snow
The air’s gently blowing
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Get on your feet
Get off the street
Feel the heat
On the beat
Before you know
The moon’s aglow
The stars like snow
The air’s gently blowing
Ah Ah Ah Ah
-solo-
Get on your feet
Get off the street
Feel the heat
On the beat
Before you know
The moon’s aglow
The stars like snow
The air’s gently blowing
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Wake up the sun
Ah
Wake up the sun
Ah…

The Gambler

Say what you wanna say
Do what you gotta do
i took the only pathway
That put you in my view ew ew
I’m placing all my bets on you
You woke me from a nightmare
To something bright and new
The images still haunt me
But those dreams won’t come true ew ew
I’m placing all my bets on you
I’m placing all my bets on you
It’s hard to believe
The angels up above
Didn’t orchestrate this love
Say what you wanna say
Do what you gotta do
i took the only pathway
That put you in my view ew ew
I’m placing all my bets on you
I’m placing all my bets on you
I’m placing all my bets on you

I Can Quit At Any Time
02:53
|
|||
I can quit at anytime
But stopping on a dime
Is easier said than done
And never any fun
So who wants to see
Me
Face down on the street
I can quit at anytime
But is it such a crime?
I know it’s still my move
But what am I trying to prove?
And I need your advice
Coz my vice
Has only hurt me once or twice
It’s a bully sport, it’s an open fight
It'll keep you busy both day and night
It’s the toughest kind of a game you’ll find
To make your body obey your mind
You’ll never know what is meant by grit
Unless there’s something you’ve tried to quit
I can quit at anytime
But it looks like quite a climb
Dangerous as well
And I’m only fooling myself
Coz it’s almost a disease
A conceit
That makes my life complete
I can quit at anytime
But I’ll take it with a lime
I can’t give up so soon
And why would I want to
It’s the only joy I get
I admit
I die a little death
Each time I try to quit

Words I Thought You Said
02:47
|
|||
Last week you stopped me
Walking out of the bar
You whispered something
And then you got in your car
I thought for hours
What could it have been
Your smile said something
But where you been since then?
Still I’ve been waiting
All my life
to hear the words
The words I thought you said
I love you
When I first saw you
You freaked me out
You were so pretty
No chance, no doubt
Still I’ve been waiting
All my life
to hear the words
The words I thought you said
I love you
Your smile said something
What could it have been
You were so pretty
But where ya been since then
Still I’ve been waiting
All my life
to hear the words
The words I thought you said
I love you

I'm Over It
03:21
|
|||
Oh, I'm over it
Didn't take a long time
Oh, I'm over it
Gimme back my sunshine
Not so long ago
You were my everything
But now I know
Everything changes
Everywhere I go
I see you mingling
Acting oh so free
But don't look at me
I'm not over it
Oh, I'm over it
Didn't take a long time
Oh, I'm over it
Gimme back my sunshine
You can have your fun
But in my heart we're done
You will want me back
But I won't answer that
Feeling way too strong
I don't need you at all
When I see your man
I'm feeling two foot small
I'm not over it
How are we to deal
With this love just dying
You've moved on and I'm
Still here just crying
I was holding out
Hoping that you'd wake up and come home
Oh, I'm over it
Come on home, girl
I'm over it
Oh, I'm over it
Didn't take a long time
Oh, I'm over it
Gimme back my sunshine

Chasing the Summer Sun
02:24

The heat is warm on this side of the glass
The summer’s here and it’s going to last
All year long
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the -
Summer sun
The air-conditioning is on full blast
Not a drop of rain on the forecast
Let it shine
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the -
Everybody’s chasing the -
Summer sun
-solo-
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the summer sun
Everybody’s chasing the -
Summer sun
Summer sun
Summer sun

You and Me
02:48
|
|||
Could this be what they call destiny?
An ancient melody
Plays in my dreams
Now I see
It’s you and me
If I could go back and change everything
I wouldn’t couldn’t change
A single leaf
On a tree
It’s you and me
It’s you and me
It’s you and me
Woke up bright early fresh in the morning
A distant harmony
Eternally
Falling free
It’s you and me
It’s you and me
It’s you and me
