Floored

She’s searching for something to say…
on a hallmark holiday
I’m screaming through traffic…
but get caught up in catastrophe
She’s grabs for my answer…
but can’t get what I’m drivin at
I’m tryin to store it up…
while she’s givin it all away
She chirps in the evening a sweet song
I rise in the morning, I’m already long gone
No one’s built a body to hold me
She knows I’m the leader, now she follows too closely
She thinks I’m a rock star
She wants an encore
She drives a fast car…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
Vibrating and making me nervous...
Sometimes she makes me swerve
I travel her high road a slow ride...
Losing grip on every turn
I hit the throttle, her engine whines
Baby let’s go faster and catch up on down time
She don’t know how to mouth these things
I push on her buttons, she pulls on my strings
She thinks I’m a rock star
She wants an encore
She drives a fast car…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…
She likes to get floored…

Can't Be With You

Pressure
Comin down in dreams
Hot waste
Always in your face
Make haste
Just to wait up
Hold out
For supernatural love
Program
Such a sham
Phone call
to tell you who I am
Who I am baby…
I can’t be with you tonight
(Baby I’m just tryin to be polite)
I can’t be with you tonight
(Just because it’s obvious don’t mean that its right)
I can’t be with you tonight
(You don’t even know the fire you ignite)
I can’t be with you tonight
(But I’ll love you nonstop ‘till that moment of light)
Switch back
Come back down
I’m the train tracks
Bending round your hometown
I’m whistling through
if you only knew
I’m on to you baby
What you gonna do
When my tongue
Catches your groove?
I wanna make a move but...
I can’t be with you tonight
(Baby I’m just tryin to be polite)
I can’t be with you tonight
(Just because it’s obvious don’t mean that its right)
I can’t be with you tonight
(You don’t even know the fire you ignite)
I can’t be with you tonight
(But I’ll love you nonstop ‘till that moment of light)
I can’t be with you tonight
I can’t be with you tonight

Carried Away

She waltzes in and time is suspended
Steps on my toes but I won’t be upended
I buckle up and confess all my angles
Many a wild ride I’m trying to wrangle!
She wears the sunlight and alters my weather
I’m blown off course and changing my vector
She’s a tempest but I won’t take cover
A jolt hits I roll with the thunder!
Shipwrecked on shoals
Lost and cold
Pray you come
Lift me up and
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
I wanna stay together forever
She can’t even feel how I’m tethered
She makes love like washing my sorrow
Up all night like there’s no tomorrow!
Stop my watch
Clean my clock
Like a captor
I feel rapture
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
Carry me away!
Oooh whoa Oooh whoa!
God chuckles and loves all my angles.
He said, “Don’t you go around chasing angels...
They hook you and for a second it’s splendid…
Then they let go and you fall forever from heaven!”
Oooh!
Mmmm!
Carry me!
Carry me away!
Getting carried away!
Get carried away!
Ooo whoa Ooo whoa!
Aahh!

Lost Dog

I ain’t one of those purebreds
Honey I’m just a mutt
I just wanna curl up in your bed
But you tell me to lie down on the rug
Mama’s always got sweet treats
I’m slobberin droolin like every day
I’m always sniffin for bitches and chow
Everywhere is my territory
I’m a lost dog
got no home
Runnin wild
wontcha throw me a bone
Honey I’m a lost dog
howl at the moon
Reward sign
please come find me soon
I like to stick my nose where it don’t belong
I love to run around in the yard
You like to exercise me
Always got me pantin and breathin hard
You fake me out then you yank my line
I’ve played your teasin games for the final time
You can tell me to sit, You can tell me to stay
But when you open the gate I’m gonna run away
And be a Lost Dog
got no home
Runnin wild,
wontcha throw me a bone
Baby I’m a lost dog,
howlin at the moon
Reward sign,
please come find me soon

Lost Summer

Wake up!
The days are getting longer
Let's soak 'em up
Spread it out
Drink in the sun
Jump in the water
Remember how we ran this town?
We baited gods
but never caught ‘em
Tie me up
Don't hold me down
I blinked and spring
turned into autumn
She crept up on me
cool and tawny
And she slipped
from my fingertips
Again…
Why am I feelin like I’m missin somethin?
Tryin to set big goals
I want everythin but I don’t know nothin
Where’d my summer go?
Fall like a leaf onto the water
Makin waves ripple out
She dropped a habit
I lost a collar.
No, I don’t wanna wander
I don’t wanna dwell
upon my blunder
Her name slips
From my lips
Again…
and again…
and again…
Ahhh!
Why am I feelin like I’m missin somethin?
Tryin to set big goals
I want everythin but I don’t know nothin
Where’d my summer go?
Where did my summer go?
Where did my summer go?
