Lyrics for my Loves ( :
Current mood: artistic
Category: Music

Ok, so there are some questionable versions of a few songs of mine going around LOL, you guys are adorable. Here’s a little help:



Body and Mind June 2006

I don’t want your body, I don’t want your mind
Cos those things are easy, so easy to find
I don’t need your money, I don’t need your warm glow
When everybody is out to destroy my soul

So you packed up a suitcase, you stood at the door
But oh, how I’ve seen this, I’ve seen it before
So I ripped up your letters and threw them across the floor
I can’t stand to read them now, or anymore

And we will regret all the mistakes
That we swore we’d never make
How we were forgot, but never forgave
And how it will end this way

I don’t want a body, I don’t want a mind
But I never can seem to leave them behind
So take all your money, and take, take all your warm glow
I can’t love somebody that tries to destroy my soul

Oh, how I regret all the mistakes
That I swore I’d never make
How we were forgot, and never forgave
And how we will end this way



You and I June 2006

You and I should get away, escape before the sun can break another day
Before a conscious thought can change our minds
To say one day that we were young and we were endlessly alive
You and I should run and run, escaping to the land of a hundred thousand suns
None of which come down on us my love, none of which are cut from their strings above

Tomorrow is today
Don’t let it slip away
Tomorrow is today

You and I are something else, with wings so strong the sun wouldn’t even dare to melt
Others will try to follow, they will fail, we’ll leave them laying in our trails
You and I will live to tell the stories they’ll forever die to tell
Upon the stormy oceans we shall sail, beneath the clear white clouds avail

Tomorrow is today
Quit pushin it away
Tomorrow is today

And there’ll be no worries to crack our faces
No empty holes or open spaces
Just you and I and all that traces
Just you and I and all that lies between
Just you and I, Oh nothing comes between
Just you and I till something comes between
Just you and I, but oh they come between us now

Clearly I should get away, you’d be happy I’d have nothing left to say
And they would laugh aloud as we restocked the days we stole from some place far away
This is where I start to run from all the things that are and are to come
Cos all my efforts couldn’t stop the blazing sun
From coming down on us my love

If tomorrow were today
It would probly be the same
And we will never change



Dream Reality September 2005

Your dream reality
It puts you down to sleep
And shelters your lovely eyes
So that you cannot see
The rain as it comes pouring down
Or the clouds that stain the rising sun
I try so hard, but still I come undone
If you could only see
What I see

But someday when the rain comes pouring down
I’ll stand and watch you while you drown
You’ll wait for me to pull you out
But I won’t be there
You always take the wrong path to your heart
When here I am, never too far
For you to open up your arms and take me in...

Just make believe
It’s anything you want to see
And close the windows love
As the sky begins to bleed
Just shut your eyes and lock up tight
I pray you fall asleep
As a million years go drifting by
And you dream reality
Yes you dream, you dream and dream

That someday when the rain comes pouring down
I stand and watch you while you drown
You’ll wait for me to pull you out
But I won’t be there
You always take the wrong path to your heart
When here I am, never too far
For you to open up your arms and take me in...

Slowly now, the whole amount
Is falling softly from the mouths
Of those residing in the clouds
The universe of powers
And I can see we’re falling
Faster down to sleep
And if tomorrow never shows
Forever yours I’ll be

Slowly now the rain comes fallin out
I gaze upon you while I drown
You look so lovely in your gown
But you don’t care
I always take the wrong path to my heart
Now here I am so torn apart
Look where it got me, oh so far
From holding you
From Tasting you



Bad News Baby July 2007

My lady, she’s nothing more than a melody
Whistlin underneath my skin
And pourin through my blood veins
Absorbing all the brain waves
Overtaking all my dreams.

And i could never be unfaithful
My everything is far too much to risk
And girl you’re so extraordinary
But she’s the only reason i exist

I’m bad news baby, i’m gonna break your heart
I burn my bridges daily before any others cross
I’m bad news baby, i’m not the man you want
The only girl i’ll ever love is trapped inside a song

They tell me i’m nothing more than a tragedy
I’m headed for a breakdown
But they don’t know my lady
They can’t see how much she loves me
She’ll never let me hit the ground

And i could never be unfaithful
My everything is far too much to risk
And girl you’re so extraordinary
But she’s the only reason i exist

I’m bad news baby, i’m gonna break your heart
I burn my bridges daily before any others cross
I’m bad news baby, i’m not the man you want
The only girl i’ll ever love is trapped inside a song

A song
It’s a song s-s-song, s-song, s-song
A song is all i have it’s all i own
Oh, i’d sell my soul
I’d sell my soul for a song
Just a song

I’m bad news baby, i’m gonna break your heart
I burn my bridges daily before any others cross
I’m bad news baby, i’m not the man you want
The only girl i’ll ever love is trapped inside a song



All My Friends August 2007

Tell me, if I come do i ever get to go?
Or will you just break down and cry
God bless your soul
When everbody sees we’re growing cold
But you don’t know
That lately, i’ve been unable to hold down all the air
And i know i always swore i’d never swear
But i’m growing so damn tired of getting old
And getting cold, God bless my soul

All my friends are telling me
Everything that i could be
And i just smile, but secretly
I think i’m starting to believe
I’m gonna make it out of here

Give me intoxication over sobriety
Give me proof of everything that you believe
I really don’t appreciate you preaching to me
Can’t you see?
Oh, you’ll see that i’m more that just a waste of given space
Or a rejection of your offer of some grace
Cause i know that there’s a time and there’s a place for me
And i can see

That all my friends are telling me
Everything that i should be
So i just smile, but secretly
I know i’m starting to believe
I’m gonna make it out of here

Girl i swear to you i’ll never let them tear my soul out
Try as though they may they’ll surely fail without a doubt
Looking back we’ll wonder what we were so sad about
The best days of our lives pass by before we figure out

That all my friends believe in me
And everything i’m gonna be
So we just smile, and we start to sing
To anyone and everything
We’re gonna make it out
We’re gonna make it out
We’re gonna make it out
Oh, we’ve gotta make it out of here

In the process of adding others.....( :
