I Met You 02:44
I looked in her eyes that night and I saw The girl looking back was all I need I got through the show I had to play And all through the night I wanted to say We should leave You and me I met you and fell in love I wanna try to hold her hand if she'll let me But I think I might be too scared to try I wanna make it really hard to forget me Because if I forgot her I would die So we danced all night And the time flew by And she said she'd love me Until she said goodbye I could cry We should try One more time I wanna try to hold her hand if she'll let me But I'd be her best friend if she wants I wanna make it really hard to forget me So I can watch her make her tacos for lunch In the dish that I bought And gave her for Christmas After we broke up The year we practiced Hanukkah I wanna try to hold her hand if she'll let me But I think I might be too scared to try I should try I wanna make it really heard to forget me Because if I forgot her I would die I would die I would die Wouldn't I I met you and fell in love

Oh love Will you hold me close Never let me go Don't let me go No love Will you hold me tight Squeeze me all night Tell me it's fine Love When you can't hide Your love But she doesn't want to hear a second of And it won't go Away I guess it's just another rainy day Oh baby when you're right You're so so right So so so life like And your eyes Oh how they shine I always knew that they'd be there waiting for me Go You don't need love You don't need love You don't need love Go You don't need love You don't need love It's only love Come

So Lonely 01:53
I'm looking for you In my reflection But I would settle for some direction Or something to go by Something to see as my life So I'm fogging up my mirror So I can see you clearer My reflection shows me My reflection shows me My reflection shows me My reflection shows me Just me Just me Just me Ain't that so lonely

Magma Mama 02:40
Now it's too late Because I saw you there And I'm trying not to stare But you should come on over here Today Of baby you're so hot You got me catching on fire A hundred miles away You could be my magma mama If you wanna Oh yeah I think about it every day And I don't know why I can't shake the thought Oh baby you're so hot I see you walking on down the street Ah baby looking at me Why don't you walk a little closer babe I'll be your lava king But that magma love It's so way down deep I think I'm gonna have to dig girl I'm gonna dig real low I got to dig a little low now I got to dig a little lower I got to dig a little lower If I wanna get a little closer babe I want to get real close I'm gonna get a little closer babe Closer to you Your love's like lava Oh magma mama I really dig you Please Keep your lava lovin next to me I'm all crazed Cause you got me in a haze Won't you Stay with me We could catch fire every day Oh yeah Oh yeah

I fell asleep waiting for your call Waiting for your call Waiting for your call Wishing I didn't at all No not at all No not at all Why did I lay down my head There on that bed Now I wish I was dead Why did I lay down at all I missed your call I missed your call Dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead I should be on the phone with you I should be all alone with you Dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep I was dead asleep On the phone

Stone Cold 03:17
Look in look out The sunrise On the brink of love again Let me in so I can hold on As long as I can I would love the pleasure I would love the chance Would you care to walk out on the sand And watch the sunrise Why are you too cool Such a stone cold fox a friend Don't you know I'm into you Don't you understand I just want to watch the sunrise And to hold your hand Don't you know I'm into you Don't you understand Why you gotta be so stone cold Colder harder Hold her tighter Throw her to the water Watch the sunrise Watch the sunrise Watch the sunrise Til tomorrow

Fine Girl 03:11
Fine girl Fine girl You're so fine girl Fine girl I don't want to bother you anymore So I'll go You can do whatever you want You don't need my heart anymore You know I still needed yours I know And that's fine girl Fine girl Fine girl Fine girl But I know You'll find something That really makes you happy I could never make that happen Everybody knows I tried And you know You can call me on the phone If you ever feel alone You need a shoulder For crying It's mine And that's fine girl Fine girl Quit your crying girl You're fine

Joanna 02:18
Blue hair, house party And you could see so far Wondering why you're talking to me Let's go find your car Talk to anyone around With all the floating sounds Look me in the eye I know that I could die You're on my mind I know your life You think that I am a waste of time Come find my love When you can walk Don't try to crawl Just run back to me Buy me a drink Pretend that I'm fun to be Dance all night long Sing the words to the song Hand on my shoulder Give me the signal yea Lips come together Don't make the night so dull You're on my mind I know your life You think that I am a waste of time Come find my love When you can walk Don't try to crawl Just run back to me

I'm alone I understand There was this time That had to end But I'm in love I know it's unrequited No I'm not dumb But I can try to fight it But my back's against the wall I'm pacing back and forth all up and down the hall Cause you don't fall for me I tried to salvage what I could Of a life that I'd already loved and left behind But you're still on my mind Aw honey all the time Baby I wrote you a letter But you didn't get it Cause I didn't send it You would have set it in fire If I would have tried I should have sent you a lighter But in light of these letters I should have known better I'm only a writer And you are the words I'm just a moment in time I'm on the wall But I don't believe in clocks at all And this won't end Until we take a stand And fall

Vacation 03:36
Vacation The waves The bayside in the night And oh won't you move Your feet With me Tonight The sky There's a familiar sound Racing through the town tonight The candles burn themselves down Just to offer up some light The scent of your perfume Overcomes the smell of sweat The dew in the air sticks to our skin And makes our clothes feel wet And I just want you to move around And dance with me No I don't want you to stand there Just move your feet And I wanna rock with you Side to side of o the beat Why else would we come here Why else would we stay Why else would we come out here Just to waste the night away Vacation The waves The bayside in the night And oh won't you move Your feet With me Tonight The sky
