You might know how she breathes when she sleeps at night You might know how it feels to have her heart beating into your bare side but I know how she'll take her coffee in the morning and I know how she likes to be. Oh I know she'll wear her hair messed up all day tomorrow just to brag as she Shakes My Soul You must be another name she's checking off her list You must be You're a toy, something new to show off to all of her friends ‘Cause you see I know how she'll take her coffee in the morning and I know how she likes to be Oh I know she'll wear her hair messed up all day tomorrow just to brag as she Shakes My Soul And I saw her less and less with each passing week You walk her home one night, some bar fight bruise is swelling up your face and your name is threaded through every word she speaks So who am I to say? Who am I to say that I know how she'll take her coffee in the morning That I know how she likes to be But oh I know she'll wear her hair Messed up all day tomorrow Just to brag as she Shakes My Soul Oh I know she’ll wear her hair messed up all day tomorrow And I know just how she likes to be Yeah I know just what its gonna do to me I know she’ll Shake My Soul How she Shakes My Soul

I've been beating rhythm like a broken heart I’ve been ramblin’ like a wise man who lost his spark I've been loving you like some forgotten art but it Wasn’t Enough no it just Wasn’t Enough no You're a stone in the sea beating back the waves Yes I try to hold you tight but you always stray Yea You tell me you love me and you walk away and it Wasn’t Enough no it just Wasn’t Enough no ‘Cause I give and I give but it never takes You kept me around just for having sake Not to be cruel, but here's the news, see Baby I'm leaving and I feel fine Now your name is a melody I used to know Your face is a stranger that’s crossing the road You're the memory of who I used to be When I Wasn’t Enough no When I Wasn’t Enough no ‘Cause I 'd give and I'd give but it never takes You kept me around just for having sake Not to be cruel it aint me its you Baby I'm leaving and I feel fine

I carried my love around in a paper bag And when it began to storm it tore a hole The contents spilled out onto the ground and then she came around Well marbles and paper planes came tumbling down She took them all away, “Lets play a better game Oh catch me if you can I'm the smile on the moon And I am here for you.” She took off my pale and ragged clothes Brought me to a satin cushioned room and said "This is a place you can call your own This is a place that you could love This is a place you can call your home, Home Never put much Stock Into The Stars Never put much faith into the fates Never put much Stock Into The Stars Never put much faith into the fates But I'm wondering…

Marry Me 05:17
I know you worry sometimes how we both lead such different lives How I'm growing thin up top, and your still so bright But I don’t ever want to be without your love I don’t ever want to be with out the things that I'm made of So kick back and take a load off of your mind Sit up so you hear the next line Marry Me Baby, Marry Me Baby Smile while I drive you crazy When you hear me say Marry Me I've got passion and I've got soul, but my voice it was frail. My voice it was cold. You come in singing all of your sweet songs Now your voice is my voice, and these songs are your songs But I don’t ever want to be without your love I don’t ever want to be with out the things that I'm made of So Marry Me Baby, Marry Me Baby Smile while I drive you crazy See I know a ring is a precious thing but I don’t afford too much I write you promises I write you poetry and put it into a song and sing it all the time love Marry Me Baby Smile while I drive you crazy

Running Away 03:30
Well she stops to smell the roses She's got a thing for flowers Would of been could of been making love to her for hours But she paints her lips with red tape She knows my hands are tied Still I've been hanging onto her The whole damn night But aint no road home that way Still I've been falling in love with Running Away Well my hands they move without me I'm tied around her waist I'll just walk the lady home cause it’s getting too damn late, or so I say Now she's singing like a siren, my boat is lost to sea I am sinking into her, She’s sinking into me But aint no road home that way Still I've been falling in love With Running Away A fool ain’t a man who doesn’t know He understands but still he goes Still he goes though he knows Ain’t no road home that way But I've been falling in love With Running Away

No one understands the words I say when I say them to you No one understands the game we play Nobody knows where I have gone Nobody knows what we’ve become You shower in the next room You comb your hair I stop and stare at you. ‘Cause I think about you so damn much My pulse it starts to move Wanna reach out to touch But You’re The Moon A harvest on your lips an apple on your hips and a hunger that grows But we’d be bled if we were fed you know Laughter on the telephone, we don’t know what we’ve become. You change in the next room You shave your face I stop and stare at you ‘Cause I think about you so damn much My pulse starts to move Wanna reach out to touch But You’re The Moon

Heartbeat 04:13
You Purr into my neck on the train The way we are and the things we say just aren’t the same When you're away I'm just missing you Could see so easily just... but My heart is stuck in somebody else's location Every time I call you babe I'm on vacation with her Our heads are spinning round and round Don’t know what we've found, but can we hear the sound of reason Over the Heartbeat, Over the Heartbeat babe I pick a blue flower to lace your hair Passing strangers think that we are together I want to hold your hand but it might be too familiar There’s two people in the way we both know their names And when I’m away are you just missing me? Could you see so easily just kissing me? Well your heart is stuck in somebody else's location every time you call me babe I’m on vacation with her Our heads are spinning round and round Don’t know what we've found, but can we hear the sound of reason Over the Heartbeat Over the Heartbeat babe We both know we are in love already It’s not like there's something that we are forgetting but I'm loving mixing my time and your time together It’s just going to be so hard to tell her that, “My heart is stuck in somebody else's location Every time I call you babe I'm on vacation with her Our heads are spinning round and round don’t know what we've found, but can we hear the sound of reason Over the Heartbeat Over the Heartbeat babe”

Never slept together just laid down only closed my eyes to take a glance at being with someone who just couldn’t treat me right. ‘Cause she never had the chance Woulda' been a fast romance I said like a candle burning both its ends, cracks and bends but would we've taken our time with love growing like the vine that wraps around our summer home someday? and every dream was dreamt every tear was wept was only Trying To Get Back to the sweet arms of your love Quiet country porch and rocking chairs I sit alone with messed up silver hair She's singing in the garden. For the den she's picking flowers I don’t know her name yet, but it sounds a lot like yours Every dream was dreamt, every tear was wept was only Trying To Get Back To the sweet arms of your love

Lucky One 03:34
I lit a candle was talking all about our love. Then it fizzled out I swear the wick it turned to smoke tried to light it back up myself, but it took the hands of someone else Then there were days all I dreamt was a California sun, and everywhere I looked oh Lord you know I saw someone but it wasn't you babe. Even though I know that I am the Lucky one to be here inside your love I am the Lucky one. Cause you lift me up so much higher than I've been before Though I'm your red wine was spilled upon a wooden floor You’ve got love slipping through the cracks Is it something you even want back? I don’t know how you could even try and blame yourself Babe this love we got only a fool would try to sell You're my kind of beautiful Nobody does it quite like you do so I am the Lucky one to be here inside your love I am the Lucky one So we're gonna see this through We’re gonna work it out We’re gonna see this through even if you kick me out So we're gonna see this through We’re gonna work it out even if you run me through You lift me up so much higher than I've been before Any other girl would have punched me square in the jaw I'll be old and lonely someday Will you be old and lonely with me? Old and lonely with me Lonely with me Lonely with me…

Golden curtain glow on your skin Linger on you in the morning Please God make time still So I can hold you Your love to blame for the man I’ve become My youth I’ll blame for making me run Wake to you so much that You Are The Sun Your heart’s the Earth I’ve been walking on. I will Love You, I will Love You all my days Strange I hear the chimes we never hung My things all boxed up in the next room Baby I’m just too damn young Drawn to the night for what I can’t touch I will Love You, I will Love You all my days I have heard lost love called a ghost A shadow haunting sunny days I will call your love the sun I’ll never lose it that way But it will haunt me all the same It will haunt me all the same It will haunt me all the same You Are The Sun You Are The Sun You Are The Sun You Are The Sun You Are The Sun You Are The Sun

We were the passion and the fire atop the world when we were young We carved a promise to each other in the trees that yearn for sun That when its overcast and all is lost We'll be the light to guide the other home and be the warmth at their bedside We'll wrap these words around our fingers as the world turns on and on As long as your here in my arms As long as your here in my arms As long as your here in my arms I will be fine … I drop the kids at school and life has slowed down since the wedding day but then a call that afternoon said Jane had been bullied at school And when we picked her up she was a' crying like a child the gum stuck in her hair would not come loose though how we tried and when her golden locks fell down like feathers on the kitchen floor, she said, As Long as you're here in my arms As Long as you're here in my arms As Long as you're here in my arms I will be fine … I buried you beside our tree our signature remained from long ago The earth reclaimed what was her due and left me alone and when my darkness comes a sleep that never ever ends my feet will lose the ground and just a body lies in bed Ill find your face before the gates and Peter guarding heavens door As long as your here in my arms I will be fine.
