Can’t Do This Alone

Sometimes I see myself out of the corner of my eye
Sometimes I’m nice, sometimes I’m shy
Mostly I’m only out for myself
That’s a hard one
I want this, and then I want that
I’m sure about something,
Then don’t know where I’m at
To keep it all together, hold it in tack
It’s a problem
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
Is this the end or just the beginning
I’ll never know until I try
Hold on to you while my world’s spinning
Cause the love in your heart always pulls me through
I could get lost out here without someone like you
I’m gonna take a good look
I’ll need some help from my friends
‘Cause I might break, I hope that I’ll bend
I know it’s not pretty, but it’s gotta end
I’ve hit the bottom
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
All of that time I thought I was winning
I looked around and it wasn’t so
Hold on to you while my world’s spinning
Cause the love in your heart always pulls me through
I could get lost out here without someone like you
Is it the paper, or is it the pen
What we create or the space that we’re in
Sometimes we’re thick, sometimes we’re thin
Sometimes we’re open
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
Can’t do this, can’t do this alone
Sometimes I see myself out of the corner of my eye

Somewhere In Between

I sit in my car and I’m all alone
You sit in your car too
Driving to work or headed back home
In my mirror you come into view
Such a beautiful face, I can’t look away
I watch as you fade from view
Will I see you again, will I ever know
If there’s something between me and you
In a world covered in blacktop
I’m burnin’ gasoline
I’d love to look into your eyes
But I’m somewhere in between
How come the closer I get
The further away you seem
Well I’m not to where I’m going
I’m just somewhere in between
Somewhere in between each other
Stopped here at the traffic light
In between my hopes and dreams
And this situation
I’m not sure where I’m going
I’m just somewhere in between
Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong
Perhaps it was in my mind
I looked at you and you looked back at me
For a moment I fell out of time
Somewhere in between

I Really Don’t Care Anymore

You’re just a pile on my desk
Another thing in my life
When I tried my best
You didn’t think it was right
I really don’t care anymore
Think what you like
I’m in my own world now
You’re out of my sight
I really don’t care anymore
I really don’t care anymore
I know you’ve got your story
‘Cause you’re always right
I’m playing in a different venue
So just get a life
I really don’t care anymore
I really don’t care anymore
You wonder
How did it come to this?
So much gone
In just a moment
I find it hard to resist
Pointing out to you what happened
When you ought to know
Stop holding on ‘cause it’s time to let go
I just don’t care anymore
I really don’t care anymore
I really don’t, I really don’t
Well now you’re off of my speed dial
I blocked your FAX
I know that sooner or later
You’re gonna drop through the cracks
I really don’t care anymore
I really don’t care anymore
I really don’t, I really don’t

The Distance

It’s only part of a conversation
At a point I took a chance
A moment in time
Now I’m in this circumstance
Demands destroy love
We all need some space around us
Love can’t stand the distance
Well you’re frightening to confront
You’re the safest place for me
God knows I love you
Only you know me
Demands destroy love
We all need some space around us
Love can’t stand the distance
How tight to hold on
And when to let go
It’s only from an open heart
That love begins to flow
Sometimes I hold you close
I can feel you slip away
But when we’re both alone
There’s a love that’s there between us
Makes this distance go way
Chorus repeat
It’s enough to change this world
All you need to hold on to
With someone or all alone
Right here inside you
Demands destroy love
We all need some space around us
Love can’t stand that distance
How tight to hold on
And when to let go
It’s only from an open heart
That love begins

Being Here With You

I’d love to be with you alone tonight
Sit across a table and gaze in your eyes
We gotta to get home and put the dinner on
Guess we’ve created quite a life
Still I know after the homework
Tucked in bed for the night
Let’s take some time, just a moment
I want to gaze into your eyes
After all that’s happened
After all that we’ve been through
It doesn’t get any better than
Being here with you
Let’s take some time and be together
Only you and me
For a moment stop in time
Look deep into your eyes
Know your sweet mystery
When we were young we’d gaze for hours
Wouldn’t notice if they were putting up the chairs
Weaving our dreams of the future
How it would look way out there
After all that’s happened
After all that we’ve been through
It doesn’t get any better than
Being here with you

Millionaire

You see me picking up the step kid at private school
The rich daddy pays but I look cool
I’m havin’ little trouble ‘til the sale goes through
I just need a little money and yours will do
It’s true, I’m a millionaire,
That’s right, a millionaire
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, I’m a millionaire
How could anybody know I hurt
Got my cowboy boots and Nehru shirt
Not a whole lot, just a little will do
I just need a little money ‘til the deal goes through
It’s true I’m a millionaire,
That’s right a millionaire
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, I’m a millionaire
Trust is what I live on, and I earned all I got
Didn’t take you for granted, just a little bit of your stock
There’s a reason I’m so righteous,
I’m the victim if you will
You should be sayin’ oh poor me
Not calling me on some deal
Sooner or later it’ll all come around
I’ll be rich and you’ll be down
What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is ours
I ain’t gonna let this sweet thing sour
It’s true I’m a millionaire,
That’s right a millionaire
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, I’m a millionaire
My cell phone is dead, my car’s in the shop
My credit card’s maxed, I just can’t stop
I’m still somebody, you know it’s true
Can I borrow some money from you?
Can I borrow some money from you?
Can I? Can I?

Never Easy, Never Free

I held your hand, and watched you grow
You learned the things that you should know
‘Please’ and ‘thank you’, ‘How do you do’
I can’t tell you that much anymore
But life is real, there’s a lot in store
It’s never easy, it’s never free
Love faith and hope
Trust and forgiveness
All you need to know along the way
More than just words
Put ‘em in to practice
I’m always here, you should know
You’re in my heart, I love you so
It’s never easy, it’s never free
Now you head out o#n your own
Get a call to be a rolling stone
I know the feeling, it happened to me
Soon you’ll know more than I know
You probably do, and I’m sure it shows
It’s never easy, it’s never free
Love faith and hope
Trust and forgiveness
All you need to know along the way
More than just words
Put ‘em in to practice
I’m always here, you should know
You’re in my heart, I love you, I love you so
It’s never easy, it’s never free
It’s never easy, it’s never free
It’s never easy, but you can count on me

I Just Want To Play

I’m here in this world
So are you
Not too much is happening
I’m trying to follow through
With the dreams that I’ve planned on
With my hopes and my schemes
I just want to live, I just want to play
Nicotine makes me stumble
It’s illegal to get high
I don’t want to go to jail
I don’t want to die
So I drink too much coffee
Now I can’t get to sleep
I just want to live, I just want to play
There’s more to life than working nine to five
I need more than money to feel alive
When it all starts wearing thin
I start to get a sheepish grin
You know that it’s time that we to start to play
I just want to live, I just want to play
Passionately humble
Delicately sane
Trying just to do my part
I try to play this game
And I make good money
But at the end of the day
I just want to live, I just want to play

On A Dublin Street

Here on a Dublin street
You sell your poems to people you meet
And they love to be there with you
I can feel the love shining through
They love you for who you are
On this sidewalk there’s no star
And through thousands here know you
You’re always right here where you are
On a Dublin street
Uncle Pat tell me stories
Of how you’re just like me
Uncle Pat I am listening
I hear my own heart beating
Through time, across oceans
Woven thin genetic code
All the love of some ancestors
Meeting deep inside my soul
On this Dublin street
It’s not so different how we say it
What we feel we both know
You with your poetry in Dublin
And me back home on my piano
Uncle Pat
Not just words upon a page
I was there face to face
Like a song I can’t stop singing
In my heart it keeps on ringing
This Dublin street

It’s Not Easy

Oh no baby here I go
I’m slipping into this deep dark hole
This feeling’s heavy like a ball and chain
And I wonder if I’ll ever smile again
Feels like I’m losing touch
I Probably just want too much
With this world as such it’s not easy
I’ve lost the rhythm and I’ve lost the rhyme
I’m out of step I’m running out of time
If I make it harder than it has to be
I guess that’s just the way things are for me
Feels like I’m losing touch
Probably just want too much
With this world as such it’s not easy
Nobody said that it would be easy
Feels like the end of the world today
And I just don’t know why I feel this way
So I’ve got to try to find
A new way to ease my mind
Leave all this pain behind
I’m a master of disguise, and I wear it well
I keep my distance so you can’t tell
If I’m just feeling sorry for myself
It’s my secret and I’ll never tell
Feels like I’m losing touch
I probably just want too much
With this world as such it’s not easy
Nobody said that it would be easy
Nobody said that it would be easy

I’m Gonna Burn

I keep waiting for this pain to go
I didn’t know that I loved you so
All that time I thought I was in control
But it wasn’t so
Oh Baby this is a hard one to learn
Got no hands on the wheel
I won’t make this turn
I’m gonna burn
I filled my head with things like ‘market share’
You didn’t care, I just wasn’t there
Missed those things there right in front of me
Like the glow in your eyes, the wind in the trees
Oh Baby this is a hard one to learn
Got so many irons in the fire
I guess it’s my turn, my turn to burn
I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna burn
Got my hands thrust in my pockets
Got my heels dug in the dirt
I know it’s gonna happen
I know it’s gonna hurt
It hurts when you burn
After all that time you think I’d know
You didn’t write, you didn’t phone, You didn’t E-mail me
I guess things just are the way they are
Like this pain in my heart, the first evening star
Oh Baby this is a hard one to learn
Got so many irons in the fire, I guess it’s my turn My turn to burn
I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna burn
Got my hands thrust in my pockets,
My heels dug in the dirt
Every time that this happens,
It’s the holding on that hurts
It hurts when you burn, I’m gonna burn

Singer and the Song

We’re different people
Got different roles
With the things we do in life
You give love and travel ‘round the world
I stay home and love the kids and wife
Time to time we find ourselves together
It’s never for that long
We take our places we play our parts
But I know that we are one
I’m just the singer, you’re the song
This song I’m singing goes on and on
We get on planes
We travel here and there
All the people that we meet
It’s always the same
How you melt their hearts
And they fall down at your feet
Their lives are changed from that moment on
No longer strangers to themselves
I’ve heard it said that ‘God is love’
Know I’ve seen it for myself
I’m just the singer, you’re the song
This song I’m singing goes on and on
Oh you’re like a window
Feels just like the wind blowing through me
I don’t know all you know
All I know is that you love me

I’ll Be There For You

Love knows no reason
Love knows no rhyme
Just reach out and I’ll be there
Time after time
When you feel like you’re drowning
Waves crash all around
I’m a rock you can stand on
High solid ground
I’ll be there for you
Wherever, whenever, whatever for you
I’ll be there for you
Whatever you do
People call this a family
Some say we’re just friends
But it doesn’t matter
There’s just no end
I’ll be there for you
Wherever, whenever, whatever for you
I’ll be there for you
Whatever you do
In your darkest day
I’ll send you this song and take the weight away
And when ever life’s too much to bear
Open your heart and I will be there
I’ll be there for you
Wherever, whenever, whatever, for you
I’ll be there for you whatever you do
Be there for you, whenever for you
Forever
I’ll be there for you
Wherever, whenever, whatever for you
I’ll be there for you
Here is my heart, I give it to you
