VERSE I
Say baby where ya goin?
Don’t ya leave the floor (no)
Don’t ya leave me hangin
On your fleeting words
Oh, the night is young
And I’m not quite done (no)
Hearing your voice
Yeah, every word (Every word)
CHORUS
Slow it down, and hit rewind
Cause I feel like that, we’re out of time
Love can be so unkind
It outta’ be a crime
Slow it down, and hit rewind
Cause I feel like that, we’re out of time
We’re taking chances trading dances
I don’t wanna’ be left in the cold
VERSE II
One more dance is all I need
Let me have it, wont you please
Give something I can see
I just need a sign
So just one smile or a glance
Will qualify to take a chance
To say some things I’ve never said
Whatcha’ think of that? (Think of that)
*Guitar Solo*
*Chorus*
BRIDGE TAG
Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa [x2]
BRIDGE
Gotta’ keep on movin’ to stop the clock
So ya know, when you go, yeah feel the flow (x3)

No Stopping Now
03:05

VERSE I
Figure out, why I’m slowing down
When I never had this figured out
All this time I felt so fine, all this time I felt so fine
But here I am in the here and now
And within range of my every doubt
All this time I felt so fine, all this time I felt so fine
CHORUS
(Slow it down) Just let me catch my breath, I’ll tell you
(What I figured out) Life’s too short to be held down
(I can’t stop now) I’ll hold my breath and not look down
(I’m gaining ground) Not a thing to stop me now
VERSE II
Life’s so fast, that it wears me down
In the info age, where I outta’ know how
How to figure it out, how to figure it out
Take it fast, or take it slow
And to where I do not know
Guess I’ll go with the flow, guess I’ll go with the flow
BRIDGE
Its fine now, taking a time out
Laying it down, all my anxieties
Its alright, having a good time
Take it in stride, from the left to the right

Departure
03:15
|

VERSE I
One more time, if you’d be so kind
Lay it on the line just to speak your mind
With reasons like seasons, that constantly change
I just want the truth, before we part our ways
TAG
Cause you know, I need it most
And the very worst part is it cuts so close
To me
CHORUS
Living up the life of luxury now
Say goodbye to those
You left without
Got your name in lights, and I wonder just how
You were planning on
Just moving on
VERSE II
Whether or not, I should read your thoughts
Wish you saw the past but I guess you forgot
That sometimes people change, and though we’re not the same
I never thought you’d leave, once you caught your light and fame
TAG
But you know, I’ll let you go
Guess I’m still clinging to a ray of hope
BRIDGE
Where have you gone, it seems so long
Leaving me wandering, if I’ve done you wrong
You set your mind, to chase a dream
Been gone ever since, or so it seems
TAG
But you know, I need you most
And the very worst part is you cut so close
To me, to me, to me, to me

Me Myself and I
03:21
|
|||
VERSE I
Looking back, from where I’ve come from
Decisions made, in the long run
Have come back to me, its bitter sweet
And I question them, my choices outcome
Am I in the right, or in the wrong
You’ve burdened me, for oh so long
CHORUS
Staring through a window of what might have been
Come to a conclusion by twilight’s end
You figured it out, oh, you figured out, oh
There’s nothing more to say, follow the cliché
Weigh your decisions and past regrets
Ask the question “was it for the best”
You figured it out, oh, you figured out, oh
There’s nothing left to say, make up your mind
VERSE II
Here we are, on a road less traveled
But my questions still, won’t come unraveled
And I can’t help but question, why we’re here
You explain, that I need some time
To spend with me, myself and I
And together we’ll, clear the mind from
BRIDGE
I met you with questions, that I couldn’t just mention
To anyone, or anybody
Questions about me, but now I see clearly
That only I, can answer them

Way Back When

WAY BACK WHEN
Verse I
I remember you, like yesterday
Like the clouds remember, the pouring rain
The world was younger, and so were we
Like a lonely winter, that turned to spring
It was a journey, down a winding road
We stayed together, our hands we’d hold
If the road grew dark, and the storms would blow
We stayed together, and held to hope
CHORUS
And how we’ve changed, since way back then
Our love is stronger, than it began
When trouble showed, and others ran
We overcame, hand in hand
Our love was certain, way back when
VERSE II
Seasons changed, we stayed the same
Our love so constant, like a moving train
And we stayed true, against the grain
Through joy and tears, sunshine and rain
So here we are now, at the door
Of everything, we thought we knew before
Day by day, we’re finding more and more
Eternal love, to which we swore
BRIDGE
And this I know, I won’t let you go
‘Cause if there’s hope, then we are not alone
Brought together, together whole
Our love forever, and ever known

Train Ride
04:24
|
|||
VERSE I
Asking for your number, just last summer
Was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
My heart was shaking, knees were quaking
At the prospect, of talking to you
TAG
So glad that I did
Took the chance and now I’m singing
CHORUS
I declare, that it is just not fair
For you to look the way you do,
It’s just another reason, another reason why
I am stranded, and I’ve abandoned
Any chance at all, that I might ever fall
Out of this love, and out of love with you
VERSE II
Asking for a first kiss, I could not resist
Asking for a second one
Taking up my one chance, while in a nervous stance
My heart was beating faster,
Than a bullet from a gun
BRIDGE
Let’s catch a train, out of here
And never get off till the coast is clear
Just knowing that I have you here
Makes all my fears just disappear
Keep moving forward, we’re never looking back
Just dance to the rhythm, of the train tracks
We’ll ride all day, until the sky is black
We’re never looking back, we’re never looking back

Prodigal
05:49
|
|||
VERSE I
When you wake up, with the moon-lit sky
With no one near, but passers-by
When the dark feels, like you’re halfway home
There’s no time then, to feel alone
TAG
When you’re far from home, darkness is all you know
On the run, you’ve lost control, losing your way in the snow
CHORUS
Might be time to come back home
Wave goodbye to the unknown
We’re not meant to be alone
We’re not meant to be alone
Let loneliness be memories
And fade away to distant dreams
Sing the song of the redeemed
Sing the song of the redeemed
VERSE II
I knew the man, who walked away
Shunned his Father’s hand, and went his own way
His treasures gone, his fortunes wasted
Nothing left, but sorrow tasted
I saw the man, as he turned his back
Left his home, while the sky was black
Never to return, and make his own fate
Who would leave, from the garden gates?

Wishing the World Away
03:14
|
|||
VERSE I
Bombs going off in the Middle East
And battles going on in New York’s Streets
It never seems to change, no…
The headlines speak of tragedy
Breaking news stories a formality
It’s nothing new to me, no…
CHORUS
(But) I won’t wish the world away
The good and the bad will come anyway
We outta’ slow down, live day by day
And start loving life without delay
VERSE II
Now I don’t claim to know it all
All I know, is something’s wrong
And its killing me, and the human race
We always dwell on what is wrong
Can’t stay positive for very long
It doesn’t make sense to me, no…
TAG
The very worst part is we live so well
We live so good that we can’t even tell
We’re stuck inside, the very walls we exemplify
FINAL CHORUS
We live in the world, come what may
Together we were made, together we’ll stay
If the goin’ gets tough, we outta’ pray
Better than wishing the world away

The Gift
03:01
|

VERSE I
Theres hope for me
In a diamond ring
A circle unending, never bending
Stayin’ in place for the world to see
A destiny
I can almost see
Its been three years, and we’ve conquered our fears
And now its almost here
CHORUS
Take another look, cause its just like me to
Wear it all out, on my sleeve cause’
No one else feels home like you
And I know you feel what I feel too
Take another look, ‘cause the clouds are cryin’
When we’re apart, the sunlights dyin’
I don’t know which way to go
But with you here, I’m not alone
VERSE II
Unending love
That’s from God above
I thank Him everyday, ‘cause He showed me the way
That led me up to you, and that’s enough
But He wasn’t done
He had just begun
He put you in my life, to be my wife
And just look what we’ve become
BRIDGE
They said, its not to be
Let’s burn those bridges down
We’re making a mockery
And getting’ out of this town

Our Dance
03:33
|
|||
VERSE I
Brown eyed girl, the color of my world
She makes it change, and takes the gray away
I wish I may, I wish I might
To keep you close, and hold you tight
TAG
The things that I say, never quite portray
The things that I need, to say
CHORUS
It’s just you and me, under the moonlight sky
We’ll take it in stride, like an up and down ride
You see it in me, there’s no where else I’d rather be
We’ll dance away, just a night at a time
We’ll sway to the left, and sway to the right
And never ever find, our way out of each others eyes
VERSE II
Seasons change, my love remains
When the sunlight fades, my love will stay the same
I’d trade it all, give everything away
Just for one more night, where I’d hear you say
BRIDGE
When I have you here, its all so clear
And everything I am, is incomplete without you near

Cartography
03:13
|
|||
VERSE I
I walk the streets alone at night
And hold my breath by candle light
I need some direction, I need some direction
So many places, and ways to go
The darkness makes it hard to know
Which way to go, which way to go?
CHORUS
So here I am, underneath the street lights
Wondering, take the left or take the right
I need some time, but time is too expensive
And so I’ll try, and try to use this lesson
VERSE II
I’ll check the maps, with cartography
Looking for places that I don’t see
It’s all a mystery, it’s all a mystery
Searching the cities, one by one
It seems my fate is on the run
Leaving me behind, leaving me behind
BRIDGE
My destiny, is burning me, miles away from here
So far behind, though the stars are aligned, so clear
And I can’t help but wonder, is this destiny over
‘Cause I’m moving slower, than ever now
I’ll have to pick up the pace, and continue the chase
And finish the race, at last
END
Its time to decide
And make up my mind
On where to go from here

No Where Else to Go

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
(Lyrics by Michelle Kaplan)
VERSE I
Where are you going? I’m so confused
And I’ve been so cold.
What are you doing? Did you see me out there,
Calling your name? You took it back.
Out in the darkness, I just can’t find
Why can’t you just, take me aside?
Or set me free? Cause unconsciously,
I’ve trapped myself, unfortunately.
TAG
I’ve never been the kind to fall far behind.
But even now the words they’re so hard to find.
CHORUS
NO WHERE LEFT TO TURN
AND HONESTLY THERE’S NOTHING I CAN LEARN
I CANT BELIEVE THERE’S
NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, WHEN I’VE FALLEN BELOW, WHERE I DON’T EVEN KNOW
VERSE II
Once there was something, I could just see
Now you just, took it away
Kept it in secret, kept me unwound,
Tell me now, why are you doing this?
You bottled my past, and stole it to hold
I cannot bare this world that you made for me
But I don’t know how, to escape from you now
I’m tired, I must rest, but I’ll stand here you know me and that
TAG
I’ve never been the kind to fall far behind.
But even now the words they’re so hard to find.
BRIDGE
There's just no reason that I can't stop right now
I'm fallen far behind, and far to the ground
So if I'm not myself at this present time
Just know that I have, figured out why
|

Beautiful
05:20
|
|||
VERSE I
I can’t explain just what you do to me
Like the way my heart beats when your around
And here and now I can clearly see
That the girl of my dreams has finally been found
TAG
The smile on my face hasn’t worn out yet
From the day when we first met
Take my hand or better yet
Kiss me now with no regret
Kiss me now with no regret
CHORUS
Don’t you see, you’re the best thing for me
And I want you to know; oh I want you to know
How beautiful and wonderful you are
Take a look at the stars, and how they don’t compare
VERSE II
Your eyes will get me every time
I’ll get lost in them, don’t want to be found
And I can’t help it, you’ve got me bound
Stay awhile, with that smile; I want you to be mine
TAG
So take a listen to this song
And know that I will remain strong
The skeptics can try to prove me wrong
But I’ve been in love all along
I’ve been in love all along
BRIDGE
How do I sing what I can’t express
Or play a song when I confess
There’s no melody good enough,
That’s good enough for you
And how do I say just what I mean
With all of my emotions so clearly seen
I’ll take a chance and try to say
How in love I am today
END
You are my whole world
And I never want you out of it
My waking thoughts are all on you
And all my dreams are about you

The College Song
02:43
|
|||
VERSE I
I hate waking up for 9 AM’s and, studying for hard exams
What do I need this weaving course for, anyway?
And whats the deal with my whole hall, twenty two guitars that get played too long
“Stairway” for my breakfast, and “Smoke on the Water” all day
TAG
But don’t you see, its just like me, to sit around all day and eventually
Write a song, to tell them off, cause I’m just too just lazy leave my loft
CHORUS
I present to you my philosophy, squint real hard and then you’ll see
Work is over-rated, this much I know is true
Lab reports and papers are the devil’s friend, burning up in hell is where they’ll end
And once their there I’ll laugh with childish glee
VERSE II
I hate waking up at 2 AM, to the drunken laughs of the drunk freshmen
Who gets drunk off Ever-Clear anyway?
They’ll sober up with some diner food, once they wake up in the afternoon
I heard refried meat is the special for the day
TAG
The meats not great, but its worth the wait, just to put your mind in a heightened state
Late for school, ‘cause you think your cool, chances are your a freshman fool
BRIDGE
Let’s sit and wait, and hold debate, on whether or not we’ll procrastinate
We’ll waste our days on “MySpace”, and watch that German dude on “YouTube”
Man that guy can dance

Excuse for Love
03:34
|
|||
VERSE I
You think that I don’t even realize
Those thoughts goin’ on behind those darkened eyes
And I know you, and I know just how you think
And I know you, would leave me here to sink
That’s where our story will begin, a tale of two lovers though one has been
Through all the fire and the flames, just so you would recall his name
CHORUS
But will you remember this, a tragedy started with just one kiss
And though you say that you’ll find bliss, through all your faults and ignorance
Well I’ve heard enough, and I’ve seen enough, and I’ve had enough
Of your excuse for love
VERSE II
Every day the same routine
Searching for things you think you need
Though the problem lies within, you blame it on where you’ve been
And I won’t stay, waiting for you to change your ways
That’s where our story continues now, at the bitter end with darkened clouds
There’s only a few pages left to write, better stop and start to make your mind
BRIDGE
Epilogue, you left me hanging, to this love I could not have
Strange as it seems, I’m not bitter you see, for I know there’s one whose meant for me
ENDING CHORUS
But you will remember this, a tragedy started with just one kiss
And though you say that you’ll find bliss, through all your faults and ignorance
I can’t say I pity you, for all those things you put me through
This may just seem like hurtful tact, but I’m sorry love I wont be back

We Don't Say Goodbye
03:37
|
|||
VERSE I
The lights will slowly dim, as the show comes to an end
The people sigh as the music dies, and head out with their friends
I start to shake some hands, as the clock begins to chime
It’s telling me, that I must be, completely out of time…(but)
CHORUS
We don’t say goodbye, we just say good night
We don’t say goodbye, tonight
We don’t say goodbye, we just say good night
We don’t say goodbye, tonight
VERSE II
I always want to stay, and make friends with everyone
I always try so hard sometimes, yet I’ve just begun
To understand that we, though far apart it seems
Our two hearts are not apart, though in distant dreams
BRIDGE
As hard as I try sometimes, I’ll never realize
That peace of mind is where I find, the light of us here in the night
Tonight is where we make it, tonight is where we break it…tonight
|

VERSE I
Figure out, why I’m slowing down
When I never had this figured out
All this time I felt so fine, all this time I felt so fine
But here I am in the here and now
And within range of my every doubt
All this time I felt so fine, all this time I felt so fine
CHORUS
(Slow it down) Just let me catch my breath, I’ll tell you
(What I figured out) Life’s too short to be held down
(I can’t stop now) I’ll hold my breath and not look down
(I’m gaining ground) Not a thing to stop me now
VERSE II
Life’s so fast, that it wears me down
In the info age, where I outta’ know how
How to figure it out, how to figure it out
Take it fast, or take it slow
And to where I do not know
Guess I’ll go with the flow, guess I’ll go with the flow
BRIDGE
Its fine now, taking a time out
Laying it down, all my anxieties
Its alright, having a good time
Take it in stride, from the left to the right
