Dangerous

It begins
It begins
So Dangerous

Drawn toward me
like water finds the sea
You don't know me
mystery within my reach

--lift--
it's the sign
of this time
and the look in your eyes
is so

--chorus--
Dangerous
Leading me on
Dangerous
Standing right before me
Dangerous
Leading me on
Dangerous
Standing right before me

Leading me nowhere
Tempting me to linger on

On........and on and on and on

Well these are dangerous days
although the path is unclear
the heart submits to her ways
but only if it overcomes the fear

--chorus--

Spinnin me round, round, round

You're so
Dangerous
Leading me on
Dangerous
Standing right before me
Dangerous
Leading me on
Dangerous
Standing right before me

Tempting me to linger
as if you hold the truth
Tempting me to linger
Linger on with you
Linger on with you
Linger on with you
Linger on with you

and that's just Dangerous

Joke

I should have
know better
i've been down this road so many times

I tried to
forget you
but just when I would, you'd check the line

and now it's clear to me
it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
if hind sight
is twenty twenty
then I must have been blind
cause it's clear to me
yeah it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
nothin but a fuckin' joke to you

a honest heart
who needs it
you threw it aside like it meant nothing at all

get some of your time
I must be dreaming
You've got tons of friends you'd rather spend time with
I would have never even made the waiting list

and now it's clear to me
it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
if hind sight
is twenty twenty
then I must have been blind
cause it's clear to me
yeah it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
nothin but a fuckin' joke to you

but the best part of heartache is that it multiplies
the amount of shit you can take
what I've learned from this heartbreak is that it amplified
my ability
to tell a fake
a cheat, a snake
from someone that's real, it's helped me feel

and now it's clear to me
it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
if hind sight
is twenty twenty
then I must have been blind
cause it's clear to me
yeah it's plain to see
that I was nothing but a fuckin' joke
nothin but a fuckin' joke to you
but this joke's on you
I'm glad we're through
yeah the joke's on you

My Curtain Call

This will be the one to end it all
Cut the cord and let the fabric fall

My curtain call
My curtain call

Not a soul in attendance will be the same
a treasured memory for all that came

My curtain call
My curtain call

A whisper of the lesson's of one life
A cold scream behind a friend's bad advice

My curtain call
My curtain call

Ready To Be Gone

Sometimes darkness comes a calling. Jotted these down last week. No worries, they are just words, thoughts and feelings. No biggy.

Don't get me wrong I've had my fun
I'm just done with being on the road I'm on
I've nothing left to do or find
and the loneliness grows it does not subside
I've had my time
and I wish you well
Thirty six years
of living hell
That's not to say that good times weren't had
it's just that they were far outweighed by the bad

and I'm ready
ready
ready to move on

and I'm ready
ready
ready to be gone

Time To Move On

In a little city just outside of Memphis
this boy sits waiting at a bus stop sign
not sure what he wants out of life
just sure that he doesn't want it to pass him by
He looks up the street and can see for miles
he's stuffed all his dreams
in the bottom of the pile
of the clothes that are sitting beside him
life behind him wasn't meant to be
now he's come to see
it's time for him to move on

As he arrives in a new york bus station
he's greeted with a chill of warn out stares
wearing all his dreams on his sleeve
determination tells him not to leave
he looks up at buildings and can see for miles
there's millions of people but not many smiles
on the faces that stare back at him
his future won't dim
now he's come to see
living the life he dreamed
it's time for him
to move on

He changed his looks
he changed his hair
he left his friends
been everywhere
He chased his dreams
but at what cost
He had big hopes
but all is not lost

now ten years later just outside of memphis
he walks his little boy home from school
so sure what he wants out of life
so happy he never let it pass him by
he looks at his past and he's changed his style
he wouldn't trade anything for all the trials and the tests life's laid before him
his wife beside him
now he's come to see
he's living that life he always dreamed
this time for him - it's home
it's home
this time for him it's home

You Shook This Boy

In a forgotten dream
Living life's routine
Is where I spent my time
hiding from the world

But you shook this boy
and made me realize
a well placed glance from you
can start changing lives

I've never felt this way
Can't find the words to say
How to describe the feeling
that you give to me

But you shook this boy
and brought me to my knees
You made me need you so much
when I never needed anything

Yes you shook this boy
Yeah you moved my world
Out from a shaded place
Into your glowing heart

Girl, Yes you did
Yes you did

Now I'm not the same
Know love is not a game
And i would love to play
as long as it's with you

Cause you shook this boy
And made me realize
You are the one thing in this world
that could complete my life

Yeah you shook this boy
and now you need to know
this is the honest truth
i love you so

Maybe You'd Love Me

I'm becoming a better man
but I don't know why
Without you I'm not sure why I should try
I'm spending every night
Without you by my side
living a lie, feeling like I want to cry

If I could turn back time
and undo all I've done
to make you doubt me
Maybe you'd love me
Maybe you'd love me
If you can see the cost
of the love I've lost
the love I'm missing
Maybe you'd love me
Maybe you'd love me

Until Something Better Comes Your Way
