Which Way To Go

She's a real killer
Yeah, she'll really do you in
If you don't know how to take it slow
I see no reason to get excited now
You're apprehensive and I think she knows
This time I really want it to be

So Romantic
02:17

It was Saturday morning when I called your name
and I found you not to be there
So I went outside into the real world
and found myself some real care
Can I get an answer?
Can I know your real frame of mind
Tell it to me faster
It goes on and on and on
You're so romantic
so romantic
and then you leave it all behind

Like Everyone Else

I heard you crying about the winter
Something's leaking, something bitter
But there's just no use in trying to stop it
The world's just turning like a faucet
You're just trying to make it like everybody else is
Just forget the fear and give me a little kiss
Opportunities come and they go
When they don't connect that leaves you feeling low
Then late one summer night, I saw him standing there
I could tell by his white smile, well I knew he didn't care
and that was fine by me, probably for the best
It's time I make my way back home and get some needed rest
You're just trying to make it like everybody else is
Just forget the fear and give me a little kiss

On The Verge
01:08

It's a lot to take when you're on the verge of breaking up with a difficult kind of guy
I'll still love you though you know I'll do you wrong
and I'll still be here trying to write your favourite song
On the verge of something bigger
On the verge of something big

Telepathy
02:17
|
|
||
|
I wish I had telepathy
That way I could see
Just by looking into your eyes
No need for disguise
Feel the chill of a cold shoulder
Feeling the weight of a thousand boulders
Every morning and every sunset
I'd build a life without regret
I wish I were invisible
Cast myself into the cold
Is it life that keeps us moving?
Or the fear of death that's looming?
You don't have to say it's okay
I'll love you anyway
