Cold Sun Stare

She pulled the shade on the window The Cold Sun Stare
I guess she just couldn't stand it anymore.
She only cared to remember Golden hair
Suddenly someone was standing at the door
She didn't know about the day, he got away,
The time she sighed, he tried, she lied
The clocks that kill us
Just shut your mouth it's almost over
He didn't know about the way, she couldn't say
The time he pried, she cried, he lied
The clocks that kill us
Just shut your mouth it's almost over now.
He held his hand on his forehead The Cold Sun Stare
I guess he just couldn't remember anymore
He only cared to forget it; it wasn't fair
Suddenly he was standing at the door

Sparks Fly

Sparks fly from your eyes and I haven’t got a Prayer,
woman when will you fulfil your spell?
I’ve been caught within the web of your stare,
woman you know how to do me so well
I’ve tried and tried to reach you but your just so far away
I have looked for you again and again
I will try to deny things feelings everywhere,
Woman I want you in everyway.
Pre:
I get the feeling I can’t break free from you -even if I could
I like the way I feel when you’re around so I doubt it that I would
I’ll take a chance and let you in you can stay as long as you like
Don’t promise me forever just give me you tonight
And I’m way in over my head again
Yes, I’m / way in/over my head/ again
Your smile stays within in my mind even after you are gone,
woman when will you decide to stay
I’ve tried to hold and hide these feelings far too long,
woman I want you in every way.
Pre:
Chorus double end

Way Too Far

She looked up at the window, 3 am
Something about how the boys been playin
He stumbled over the kids toys and opened the door
Is it my turn to yell, is it yours
PRE
She don’t want this anymore and he don’t care
They’ll both lie there and stare
Chorus
It’s gone Way too Far Down Now
She’s come Way Too Far Down now
He’s gone Way too far down now
They’ve come Way too far down … Down now
And she don’t… care anymore
Another Sunday, Church let out, God didn’t show
You can never be sure, but you can Sure as hell never know
She stumbled over the eggshells all over the floor
All these pretty clothes and no one to take em off for
Pre Chorus
And she said I don’t know you anymore, and I’m not sure if I ever did
He said I’m the same man that I was before, this just didn’t turn out how you wished; This just didn’t turn out how you wished
I just didn’t turn out how you…
Pre/Chorus out.
