Scarlet Roses

Psychedelic
Paisley shades of red
That’s what I see
When you get in my head
Like scarlet roses
We fall apart then start anew
Holding hope, I
Cling breathlessly to you
Seemed like fate
A potent dream I couldn’t shake
If anything might happen I would break
And it stuns me, to be true
To know that all my roads lead back to you=
All my roads lead back to you
Hues of blue and dusty sunlight rays
When sensation is gone, oh what memory remains?
Like scarlet roses
We fall apart then start anew
Holding hope, I
Cling breathlessly to you
La da da da da…

Bond

I need a pill for the pain
Shelter from the rain
I can’t be the air you breathe in
If I want something to change
First I’ve got to change
I just need a better reason
I’ve got nothing to lose
But something to prove
I can’t be the thing you’re needing
Take me here as I am
Or here I will stand
And haunt you in every season
Loving you just makes it harder
My hands are tied in thorny stems of roses
Acting like you’re so indifferent
My word is bond and yet I know
I’ve chosen you
If I can’t do it myself
I’ll refuse your help
Remind me why I’m uneasy
Love is only the cure
When you don’t know what for
I’m trying to stop repeating myself
It’s only a hell of your making
The time that it’s taken to become the man that you are
And the angel you’re not
Loving you just makes it harder
My hands are tied in thorny stems of roses
Acting like you’re so indifferent
My word is bond and yet I know
I’ve chosen you

Where You Are

Don’t you know you look too good
To be walking through the hood in LA?
Honey, you’re too beautiful
To tease all the strangers on your way
Sugar you’re so sweet
I can’t believe the things they say about us
You make me complete
I feel the tension and the mystery that surrounds us
I wanna be where you are
Don’t you know, darlin’
I wanna ride in your car
As we run from the law
I don’t want to know
All the girls you held close
Before me
And is it true that you’re in love now with someone?
Is she kind like your eyes
Or is she hurting like me?
I couldn’t save this truth for another day
Where you been? Where you going?
I want you to stay
I wanna be where you are
Don’t you know, darlin’
I wanna ride in your car
As we run from the law
I don’t want to know
All the girls you held close
Just the touch of your hand will suffice
I’ll pay any price to be where you are
I wanna be where you are
Don’t you know, darlin’
I wanna ride in your car
As we run from the law
I don't want to know
All the girls you held close
I don't want to see, if anything
I would just be where you are
Oh, where you are

I'm Gone

Baby
You make me feel like a waste of time
You act like you don’t wanna be mine
The sunny street grows a little colder
As your selfish games grow a little bolder
Enough waiting for the night
When you and me will be alright
I won’t take the same old lies again
Out from underneath a cloudy sky
The rain has stopped since I said goodbye
I once believed I was your treasure
As it turns out I was only pleasure
I’m done letting you deceive me
I won’t wait for you to release me
I won’t take these foolish games again
Cause I’m gone
And it’s no fault of my own
You have clearly shown
You cannot love me like you should
I’m done reading between the lines
And I’m so tired of always being your sometimes
You make it hard for me to be me
So you do you, boy, I just want to be free
Out with the sentimental
With you I don’t feel special
I won’t let you abuse my love again
Cause I’m gone
And it’s no fault of my own
You have clearly shown
You cannot love me like you should
Cause I’m gone
And it’s no fault of my own
You have clearly shown
You cannot love me like you should

Your face, your smile, your eyes, your laugh
I’ve saved them all in this photograph
Your voice, your hair, your hands they all escape me
Your mind is several levels above
Your demeanor full of love
And yet you’ve got no love to spare for me
Dust on the breeze
Smoke in the air
In my mind I’m there
With you
Hands on my hips
Locks in your hair
Be true
Just this once, baby
Can you say you love me too?
Just this once, my baby
Say you love me too
I’m begging baby
I’m out here in the rain
Can you feel me?
Uh
Give me a chance to change the way you see me
Otherwise baby release me
I can’t go on this way
Dust on the breeze
Smoke in the air
In my mind I’m there
With you
Hands on my hips
Locks in your hair
Be true
Just this once, baby
Can you say you love me too?
Just this once, my baby
Say you love me too

I don't like the way they say your name
Light on the tongue like it was nothing
Me, I’ve got memories in my brain
When nobody knew who you were
I was there before him her and her
And it’s such a trip to see your fame
You rose from the ground in a matter of seconds
Me, I’m not always one to complain
But you left me here in the dirt
When your spaceship flew from the earth
Baby you’re mine
All mine
I don’t want no other lover on your mind
Baby you’re fine
So fine
I just hope you’re thinking of me sometimes
You don’t see me
I’ve been waiting
At the place where we met long ago
I was hoping
You’d remember
But you seem to have let me go
Yeah it’s no use
You’re a whisper
On the ocean breeze
I’ve got all this love and nowhere else
To be
Baby you’re mine
All mine
I don’t want no other lover on your mind
Baby you’re fine
So fine
I just hope you’re thinking of me sometimes
Baby you're mine...
