Ever since we said our good-byes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry Something isn't right Like the Deep Blue without the Great White In the morning open your eyes The waterfalls, the fire flies You're an abacus And my heart was counting on us Your heart's got a heavy load There's still a long way to go Keep your eyes on the road Crescent moon sings me to sleep The birches bark, the willows weep But I lie awake; I'm adrift without a snowflake Your heart's got a heavy load There's still a long way to go Keep your eyes on the road |

It was an upset
In two minutes flat We're back on the freeway Foot to the mat I can't understand it We had it down pat It's very upsetting Could we leave it at that We all had positions We each had a role We'd overrehearsed it We had full control They can't teach you acting It's there in your soul It's the same with a bank job And each thing we stole So I don't need attitude Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone And wait by the phone I was the driver You ran the show You had the last word The go or no go I knew every laneway In Ontario But it's not what you're sure of It's what you don't know It should have been filled with The usual ones Throwing their cash in To mutual funds We all had our ski masks And sawed off shotguns But how do you plan for A bank full of nuns But I guess we panicked We all have taboos And they were like zebras They had us confused We should be in condos With oceanfront views Instead we're most wanted On the 6 o'clock news So, I don't need attitude 'Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now we all need to rest now Leave me alone And wait by the phone Inside the police car You tried to explain Your crisis of conscience The voice in your brain And now that the whole thing Has gone down the drain I think we all know who Should shoulder the blame 'Cause you made a choice there Almost sublime I'm all for compassion Just not on my dime You look like an amateur And that's the real crime So I'll take a walk now And you do the time And I don't need attitude 'Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone There's no need to phone We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone |

The moon is full
But there is an incompleteness The days are beautiful But I feel a bitter sweetness If I had a wish, or even a choice, I'd wake up to the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice I let you down And fell right off your good list I hope each day you'll find peace And forgiveness The alarm clock rings What a lonely noise And I long for the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice Take it from me: there's not much to see In this void The saying goes There will be other dances This little song is about Second chances Just say the word And I will rejoice And wake up to the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up To the sound To the sound To the sound To the sound Waking up to the sound of your voice Take it from me: there's not much to see In this void |

What's a boy to do?
When you tell your tale And it never fails I just end up feeling bad for you. With your hang-dog eyes You can bring me down Now I'm wrapped around your whole hand Stop looking so surprised. You make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) I've been burned before You're not fooling me There's no mystery You've forgotten what you're hiding for. Call it self defense You can obfuscate And manipulate But it's only at your own expense. You make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Easy to be with you Easy to obey Easy to forgive you at the end of the day Easy now to judge you Easy to betray Easy to adore you though you want to run away. It's easy Look what you have done I can do the same Two can play this game You'll no longer be the only one. You make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Easy (Easy) |

Side of the road I stopped and
Picked up the pieces of your car You were just standing, speechless Knowing you'd never travel far That's what you do when someone's given up on you That's when I knew I was giving up And giving in That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew I was home Stuck in the middle of the road For better or worse we compromise You may have won my hand, dear But it was the consolation prize That's when I knew that I was running out on you That's what you do when time is running out Running down That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew that I was home Where does the heart reside If not where I lay my head? I could run but I'm petrified And choose this instead Again And again End of the road I'm running And look back to survey where I'd been Someday I'll write and ask you If you could imagine what I'd seen How could you think that I could turn my back on you? How did you think this would be turning out? And turning around What could I do but call you? What could I do but call this home? That's when I knew where I was That's when I knew that I was home |

I'm a kid in a candy store
I'm a bull in a china shop I'm a tired old metaphor For everything you can't afford And everything you can't afford to be I'm a public embarrassment I'm a bottle of diet poison I'm a walking advertisement For everything I never meant And everything I never meant to be I can't hear a thing Cause I've stopped listening I'm the reason I don't go out I'm afraid I might tell me something I'm the shadow of every doubt I'm the product the song's about And I'm the product the song's about to be I can't hear a thing Cause I've stopped listening I can't hear a thing Cause I've stopped listening Every morning Since I was born It's been hard to look in the mirror And see my face for the horns All the fun that the law allows All the fun but with half the meaning Come on over, I'll show you how If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you still lived here, you'd be home now with me I can't hear a thing Cause I've stopped listening I can't hear a thing Cause I've stopped listening |

On the path of life, I wish you well
Divergent journeys, we will meet again in Hell Kept my head down and moved Till every friend I'd known was gone Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Everything was strange When in rags and when in wealth A solemn promise never to give too much of myself Despite the hopeful words I've said I've lived my life inside my head Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Everything was strange I hold my breath and count to ten I hate it now, hated it then Seen it all before A failure and a bore That's what friends are for So it seems I must have won As I survey the ashes of the damage that I've done Everyone I've ever known Is just as closed off and alone Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Every thing |

I left you in the rain
Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Your Reflection in the pane Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Apples, pears, prunes, and plums His favorites foods I told his mom Wait for him at the end of the slide When he climbs the stairs, stay by his side I heard you got some rain Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Look like we're in for the same Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas I'm going early won't wave good-bye Tell him I love him; look him in the eye I've learned how to mourn; I've learned how to miss Let me dissapear with this kiss "Tuesday A mix of sun and cloud With a forty percent chance of showers Early morning then sunny Wind west twenty kilometers an hour Gusting to 44 High of 22 UV index 50 and moderate" Bird ,book ,and basketball Squirrel, dog and learning how to crawl I found my heart when he came Let me leaving leave like rain I watched you from the train Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas When I come back I'll see you again Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning |

It was often talked about; it was often raised
But nothing was ever done about it To hear the way they talked about it, no one could be saved But nothing was ever done about it Shall I take back everything I've ever said And live my whole life in silence instead? It was oversimplified; it was under-thought And nothing was ever done to stop it Everything was fortified by all the lies we bought And nothing was ever done to stop it Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations) There was a time when a crime was a crime But now I think I'm losing my mind Or taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations) Keep to myself Maybe you're right Maybe you're right Maybe you're right But I don't think so |

It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react Just a stone's throw from the center of our attention We all fade to black Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back It's hard enough to stomach But try to look away Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture? It all fades to gray Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back Long lines and warning signs Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives It's naive, but make believe We will never lose if we remove our shoes It's hard to keep your mouth shut Harder still to make noise But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight That our fate enjoys Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back I will take it back |

A rabbit and a top hat
A handkerchief and ring With a wave of a wand He'll pull your heartstrings He's a magician Hoping, wishing And you're the one vanishing Isn't that the necklace He found behind your ear? He's floating upside-down Below a chandelier Wishing he had the power To make you reappear He's a magician Hoping, wishing And you're the one vanishing All the words of love He longs for you to hear He whispers them each night Into a lion's ear Under the stage lights At the Bellagio He has got your card But you had to fly home He's a magician Hoping, wishing And you're the one vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing He's a magician Hoping, wishing And you're the one You're the one You're the one You're the one vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing You are vanishing |

It couldn't happen to a better man
It wouldn't happen with a better plan While we were napping someone else began To rule the world with love It didn't happen to us overnight Just 'cause it happened doesn't mean it's right To our embarrassment we lost the fight To rule the world with love Hearts are won, empires fall In love with love Love will conquer all for one One for all is fair in love and war It couldn't happen to a nicer guy You shouldn't ever have to question why Just with the power of suggestion I Could rule the world with love I need to love you with an iron fist I need to love you with a secret list I need to love you til you don't exist And rule the world with love Love Love Love as defined by whom? Hearts are won, empires fall In love with love Love will conquer all for one One for all is fair in love and war Love and war are one How could it happen when we couldn't lose? And now we're slapping makeup on the bruise Though it was handed to us we refused To rule the world with love Love Love Love as defined by God! Hearts are won, empires fall In love with love Love will conquer all for one One for all is fair in love and war Love and war are one |

Stop, drop and roll and I'll tell you where I'm coming from.
You've done a lot of yelling pointed at my eardrum. I'll offer all of me that you can lay your eyes on. I'll get right back to you once I get my disguise on. Hearts on fire you'll learn End up with heartburn Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. I can't believe that you'd believe that I would fake it. Wait, 'less you count the things I said when we were naked. Run, run away from everything we'd ever hoped for. I can't believe that this is what people elope for. Throw your sticks and stones Throw your mobile phone Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. If you are leaving then I wish you luck I hope someone can make your heart warm I was a baby when I learnt to suck But you have raised it to an art form. Yes I'm out of line You're out of your mind Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. |
