Dreams 04:29
I know I haven't been so good at sharing the way I feel But having a silence, between us, Doesn't make what we felt less real Close the door, Turn off the lights You've got me waiting, dreaming all night But it's you Words I've always been cautious to sow them from the start But now that they're planted, You don't know if you want it So let go of my heart Close the door, Turn off the lights, You've got me waiting, dreaming all night But it's you Hold me close or keep me at a distance Can't keep playing cards with my emotions What you want: it could be anything but I'm Blind to the light, I see only what I want and keep this hope alive Am I too young To get it together? Am I enough To keep a good love from Falling out of sight? Close the door, Turn off the lights, You've got me waiting, dreaming all night But it's you You

33 02:51
Some days I feel I could sleep forever But then again, when I'm up I stay up all night You can't just reach me any ol' time, Chances are, I've got something in mind Simmer down, it'll be just fine -- (Chorus) I've got a car and it runs alright, And that's good, good enough for me This is not how I thought it would all play out When they asked me where I wanted to be.... When I turned 33 One day, all alone in the stormy weather Could have the boys and the girls lining up all night But you can't just do whatever you like, Sometimes you'll find the time isn't right Simmer down, it'll be just fine -- (Chorus) I've got a girl, she's around sometimes And that's good, good enough for me This is not how I thought it would all play out When they asked me where I wanted to be.... Asked me where I wanted to be When I turned 33 You can't just reach me any ol' time, Chances are, I've got something in mind Simmer down it'll be just fine.... (Chorus) I've got a girl, she's around sometimes And that's good, good enough for me This is not how I thought it would all play out When they asked me where I wanted to be.... Asked me where I wanted to be When I turned 33

Homebody 01:40
I miss my mama dearly Though I can see her nearly But I can't hold her to me And she can't see me speak We walk along the seaside Papa ahead, or behind Masks covering our faces Gloves covering our hands (I miss home, all the time we spent, all the time alone) We walk along the seaside Washed to the shore at high tide We send our love remotely, but it's not as satisfying We send our love remotely, but it's not as satisfying

Hope 03:50
One more time, I find a little more as I unwind A part that's rarely ever seen the light One by one, I gather glimpses of the good I've done I stop to think about how far I've come I see me better when I'm not alone Patience, pleasure, money and time - All the things I hoped were mine Maybe all I really need Is hidden right in front of me It's alright, I have her love and so does she have mine It isn't fair to keep it tethered down But all these changes haven't been a breeze A fickle fantasy of flawless ease We're working hard to make it through the night I hold the hope that we will be alright We just want a little time You be yours and I'll be mine Leave the silver cage behind Put it on the mantle for a while All this time I couldn't see What was right in front of me -- In the end I'd rather be Ruled by hope instead of fear The spark becomes a flame, And there's no one else to blame But that doesn't stop it burning all the same We clashed and then we cried, Drove you home without a fight Still I hoped that I would hear from you tonight
