Bad Party

Why am I here?
What have I done?
Why did I think this would be fun?
An old mistake
I never learn
Stuck here without you
Thinking about you
I came too soon
I stayed too long
I know I should leave but I can't go home
I look around
My friends are gone
Stuck here without you
Thinking about you
Time will tell if we make it or not
Time makes no judgments
Time is indifferent
I find a chair
The TV's on
I watch the party come undone
I'll sit awhile
Then I'll move on
Stuck here without you
Thinking about you

Silver Shoes

There were you in your silver shoes
Making all the rules
The king and the fool
There was I shuffling behind
Making up my mind
Just trying to be cool
You always seemed like you belonged there
Or should I say
You just belonged because you were there
I stumble in a part of your shadow
Content to lay low in the glow
There we were
Trying to make a stir
You had all the nerve and all the charm
I never could muster
I watched you work, watched you turn it on
We had some much fun
We never knew the meaning of over
Say goodnight and walk into the sun
You always knew that you belonged there
You made me feel like I belonged to
Gone 29 years still holding your coattails
Man I'm glad that I met you
And your silver shoes

Someone Like You

It's been a long time since I've been
Out there on the scene
Things haven't changed that much since
We were young and green, no
So good to see you
Shining brightly like before
And If I ever belonged here I surely
Do not anymore
With someone like you
Never believed in magic
Put my faith in sleight of hand
To me there is no mystery
Just a few chords and a band
I watch them watch you
I see them lose themselves
But I can't see you like they do
It's too late for that
Someone like you
Can reach out to one heart
From the stage afar
Strange but not a stranger
Beautiful free
Undoubtedly a star
Someone like you

West of Here

She's halfway gone
Somewhere west of here
Into the sunset
Going fast I fear
She didn't mention any particular destination
She made her getaway
Somewhere west of here
She's on her own now
Somewhere west of here
In one of a million places
She might disappear
She didn't even think to stop and say goodbye
She's on a one way ticket
Somewhere west of here
You think you've got it figured out
But you forget what it's about
Living on an island can turn you upside down
She's found a better place
Somewhere west of here
She's halfway gone
Somewhere west of here
Into the sunset
Going fast I fear
She never learned to love the life she lead
Now left behind
She's making new friends now
Somewhere west of here
I know she's out there somewhere
'Cus it's all west of here

Sunrise
Open up your sleepy eyes
This day will pass you by
And you'll sure regret it
Surprise
It still feels good to be alive
To a life half lived, goodbye
Trying hard to forget
Things you were given you didn't take
Promises made that you couldn't keep
Things you should've said but you didn't say
And the other way around
Rewind
Its easy to say you wre blind
Afraid the wake you've left behind
Has disturbed still waters
Straight line
You ran away so far so fast
To find the long and crooked path
Leads back to where you started
Making your peace with that reckless kid
Feeling less sure than you ever did
A life in your hands, finally understand
That there's no going back
That some things were meant to last
That you can make your second chance
You just take it

Hell Gate

Never was a strong swimmer
But somehow I stayed afloat
Waiting for a wave to pick me up
Found myself on this island
Between the river and the sea
The mainland's just a memory
In the shadow of the old arch bridge
Watching the tugs fight the tide
Just a stone's throw from the other side
But it might as well be a million miles
Welcome to your island
There are no strangers here
Everyone knows how it feels
Where the rhythms of the ocean
Cross the rhythms of the day
The months and the years drift away
Never was a strong swimmer
Now I stick to the shore
Can't trust the waves anymore
