"Come Home"

"Come Home"

You built this house
You built it stone by stone
Hammer in your hand
You build this home

This house is strong
You raised it with your love
A shelter from the winds
From the cold and dark

And nobody has to cry to make it seem real
And nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home

You built those walls
To hide your fears inside
We were younger then
It's safe now to come outside

We built this home
On this little piece of land
The sky above is dark
No rain comes in

Nobody has to cry to make it seem real
Nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home

As the storm grows stronger, deeper, and wide
My faith's a winding river with no riverside
As the years grow longer I will be here by your side
Ashes to dust and stone by stone
Forever I will always be your love

Nobody has to cry to make it seem real
Nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home, come home

"Come Pick Me Up"

"Come Pick Me Up"

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter

I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine

You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
I wish I could

"Crossed Out Name"

"Crossed Out Name"

Orange sky don't go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shelf
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home where we used to live
I live alone
And into bed I go

I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray I shower and say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page..
..with a crossed-out name.
with a crossed-out name.

I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word,
For everything but this.
I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes.
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl, I suppose.

I wish I could tell you just how Im hurt
Pinpoint the location its in another universe
when I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
..and my crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see your crossed-out name

"Cry On Demand"

"Cry On Demand"

So, it's how the story goes.
And we come to the scene where I'm holding you close.
She moves, moves like a thin dulling blade
Cuts, all the words that I said.
The only difference is,
The only difference is,
The truth --
The truth is I miss you.

Cry on demand.
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand.
Teach me if you want to.
Though you don't have to.
I just close my eyes and think of you.

Real. Real like a plastic bouquet.
That thrives on the smoke from an old fireplace.
And dies every night with her face on the news.
Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare and their shoes.
The only difference is,
The only difference is,
Nobody can cry --
It's hard to do.
For most folks, without a reason why.

Cry on demand.
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand.
Why would you want to?
Just close your eyes and think of me.
I take back everything I said.
She can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you.
It's like were already dead.
Cry on demand.
Why would you want to?
Cry on demand.
Teach me if you want to.
Though you don't have to.
I just close my eyes and think of you.

"Damn, Sam (I Love A Woman That Rains)"

"Damn, Sam (I Love A Woman That Rains)"

As a man I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes its usually the change

But damn Sam I love a woman that rains
Clear as a bell and sound as an old engineer
Clear as a bell and sound as an old engineer
With talented breezes that blow off your hat with a sneer
As a man I've never been much for talking to
I'm as open as the door in her house that leads to her room
And when the color goes out of my eyes she's usually too

But damn Sam I love a woman that's blue
As a man I aint never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes its usually the change

But damn Sam I love a woman that rains

"Dance All Night"

"Dance All Night"

She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle across the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say "come on"

Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Dance all night
Yeah, I think she'll be alright

I ain't lonely now
Yeah, I got someone I love
Someone I think about
Someone for me to take care of

Dance all night
Dance all night
Dance all night
Yeah, I think I'll be alright

She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle across the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say "come on"

Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Dance all night
I think she'll be alright

"Dear Candy"

"Dear Candy"

I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.

Dear Candy...

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.

You were never mine.
I was never yours.

Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.

Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
Oh, Candy

"Dear Chicago"

"Dear Chicago"

Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess.
You know the girl you said I'd meet someday?
Well, I've got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday.
Asked me if she reminded me of you.
I just laughed and lit a cigarette,
Said "that's impossible to do."
My life's gotten simple since.
And it fluctuates so much.
Happy and sad and back again.
I'm not crying out to much.
Think about you all the time.
It's strange and hard to deal.
Think about you lying there.
And those blankets lie so still.
Nothing breathes here in the cold.
Nothing moves or even smiles.
I've been thinking some of suicide.
But there's bars out here for miles.
Sorry about the every kiss.
Every kiss you wasted (bad / back)
I think the thing you said was true,
I'm going to die alone and sad.

The wind's feeling real these days.
Yeah, baby, it hurt's me some.
Never thought I'd feel so blue.
New York City, you're almost gone.
I think that I've fallen out of love,
I think I've fallen out of love . . . with you.

"Dear John"

"Dear John"

I got a house full of walls
And utility bills, every Monday the company calls
I got a nice bed to sleep on
And a chest of drawers, where I keep those dreams of yours

Cause you're always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John

Ten years pass
And I ended up with a house full of cats
But most of them went missing
Through that window you never fixed, the door you never latched

But you were on your way out the last time...

Cause you are always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John

I knew what you were doing
That summer when Candie came around
But I had too much hurt to bother you
When we lost our first child I thought a little pain was overdue

And I wanted you so bad...

Cause you are always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you...

Oh John......

"Desire"

"Desire"

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water’s higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
