Last Year's Avenue
03:46

I'm rolling in reverse.
Yeah, I'm backing out the past.
In my head, it's so absurd
'cause I know it didn't last.
Yeah, I'm moving I keep moving on
still thinking 'bout way back.
Don't have a choice, I have to move along.
There's no circuit on this track.
I just wish I could
Go back to those good old days,
down last year's avenue.
But I can't. I'm not there no more.
I can sit and reminisce
and romanticize the past.
Compare where I'm at to where I've been
and still want to go back.
But, I'm moving, yeah, I'm moving on
dealing with life's same old games
Last time I thought I was moving strong
I was hurting just the same
I just wish I could
Go back to those good old days,
down last year's avenue,
down last year's avenue.
I just wish I could
Go back to those good old days,
down last year's avenue.
But I can't. I'm not there no more.

Time Comes Around
03:39
|

|
The hour hand
makes two trips every day.
And the minute hand,
it just keeps turning time away.
The second hand,
it doesn't hesitate
And my hands, they just go around your waist.
Ain't that a thing?
Time comes around, yeah it comes around.
But it sure don't stutter, it don't idle, when you come around
I just wanna hold on to this moment with you.
If I can take a picture
to preserve a memory,
How can I keep it in the present
to make sure it never leaves?
'Cause I can only be around so long,
and I really like what we've go going on.
I see you in my future,
but your presence is a present presently
Time comes around, yeah it comes around.
But it sure don't stutter, it don't idle, when you come around
I just wanna hold on to this moment with you.
I'm just gonna slow down.
I'm gonna take it easy.
I said I'm gonna slow down,
and take it easy, take it easy.
I just wanna slow down.
We should take it easy.
You know we should slow down,
and take it easy.
Time comes around, yeah it comes around.
But it sure don't stutter, it don't idle, when you come around
I just wanna hold on to this moment with you.

It's been a long day, yeah.
Trouble after trouble with no break.
I think I spent all of my patience.
So come tonight. Let's make some change.
You're so much more than a dime, girl.
I'm tryna take my blessings to the bank.
So tell me tell me, can you come down,
come down over to my place?

Swing by at 8:30
Bring iced coffee with caramel.
I'll be waiting so please hurry.

I just need a little help, baby.
Turn it all around just with a grin.

smooth as velvet when I take a sip.
Tried and true you've got the remedy,
so come on over. Make a trip.

Anticipation
04:03
|

|
I've got my favorite pair of shoes on tonight,
and I'm walking on the clouds, dancing in the moonlight.
On my way to your door, I feel so alive
And it won't be too long before I look into your eyes
tonight
I just can't seem to get there quick enough
I know you're waiting for me
I know soon it will be the two of us
This anticipation's got me in a rush.
Under the moon or through the rain, in the cold or through the snow,
everytime I walk to you, I'm as excited as before
In due time, I will come by knocking on your door.
Then you'll let me inside, and I'll get to see your smile
tonight
I just can't seem to get there quick enough
I know you're waiting for me
I know soon it will be the two of us
This anticipation's got me in a rush.
And even though I don't like waiting,
I don't have to exercise much patience.
Baby, I still savor the anticipation
on the way.
In due time, I will come by knocking on your door.
Then, you'll let me inside, and I'll get to see your smile
tonight
I just can't seem to get there quick enough
I know you're waiting for me.
I know soon it will be the two of us.
This anticipation's got me in a rush.

Get On
03:29
|
|||
|
This woman, yeah, she loves me.
At least, that's what she claims
Yeah, you can love someone long-distance
But love and distance ain't the same
I've tried and I've tried for you, baby.
And you don't seem to care, do you?
But I don't need your love
to get on.
I'd rather sing by my lonesome
than look like a fool serenading you.
'Cause no song should be made in vain
Why sing at all, if it ain't the truth
I've tried and I've tried for you, baby.
And you don't seem to care, do you?
But I don't need your love
to get on.

These Walls
03:11
|
|||
|
Hopelessly confused,
don't know what else to do.
A man without a muse.
I've found myself astray,
and there's no map to find my way,
but I've gotta make it someday.
'Cause I've been trying
Trying to break down these walls.
There's no denying
that turning 'round is of use at all.
Inspiration comes and it passes over
like a thunderstorm on a midsummer's day, but okay.
I'm gonna dance in the rain.
I don't wanna miss another moment
stuck in in this head space, only halfway surviving.
I won't be bound no more.
'Cause I've been trying.
Trying to break down these walls.
There's no denying
that turning 'round is of no use at all.

Walking In Vain
03:53
|
|||
|
Wandering
through city streets, looking for a one in a million
If I walk
and I don't stop, maybe, I'll run into someone familiar
I know I'm walking in vain,
but at least, I know I tried.
It's a shot in the dark,
but I'll take it.
Wandering
If I go eat at that spot you said you'd love to show me when I'm in town,
that's where you'd be
and after all this talk, I'd get to meet you for the first time.
I know I'm walking in vain,
but at least, I know I tried.
It's a shot in the dark,
but I'll take it.
From a distant admirer,
who's been trapped in the past.
Who's been shot down in cold blood,
a casualty to circumstance
I know I'm walking in vain,
but at least, I know I tried.
It's a shot in the dark,
but I'll take it.

Cosmos
04:57
|
|||
|
You're a planet in transit
a cosmic allure
to which I've been granted,
a sight, to be sure.
I wished on that star as you passed it,
and the answer was yours
I'd go light years on a tangent
to your orbit, I'd detour
But I know you're just passing, passing by.
I'll cherish these moments. I'll take my time.
Let the sunlight adorn us, and the cosmos align.
We can slow dance, slow dance in the light.
In the cosmos, we're dancing
in harmony
I'll take no steps for granted
but all the time I need
We're just starlight romancing
till we both have to leave
How did I fall, how did I fall?
in zero gravity
'Cause I know you're just passing, passing by.
I'll cherish these moments. I'll take my time.
Let the sunlight adorn us, and the cosmos align.
We can slow dance, slow dance in the light.
