Sirens 06:58
Sweet sirens sailed his ship off course A few fickle moments, years of remorse. Sirens, always there Sirens, don’t play fair Sirens, truth or dare Sirens, avoid their “stare.” Sitting at a red light Is enough time To dwell on a lifetime of shame. Why or who started the game If you still wanna look You can still, see the blame. Sirens, always there Sirens, don’t play fair Sirens, truth or dare Sirens, avoid their “stare.”

Harder Than It Seems (Dodge) I’m done running around in circles, Though I’m still swimming upstream I still believe in miracles, Sometimes it’s harder than it seems. No rhyme no reason It boggles my mind ‘Til I’m at my wit’s end Three steps behind. Now I’m running through an airport And there’s plenty of time to fly Then I’m stopped for no reason There ain’t no reason why. No rhyme no reason It boggles my mind ‘Til I’m at my wit’s end Three steps behind. And there’s no simple answer I can see it in your eyes It’s the last thing I expected It truly comes as a surprise. No rhyme no reason It boggles my mind ‘Til I’m at my wit’s end Three steps behind. I’m done running around in circles, Though I’m still swimming upstream I still believe in miracles, Sometimes it’s harder than it seems. No rhyme no reason It boggles my mind ‘Til I’m at my wit’s end Three steps behind.

One More Thing (Dodge) It’s a poor excuse, It’s the last thing you asked for Sure enough, It’s happening again. But then you drive all night up and down this lonely highway Sucker punched, It’s many miles away. I’m doing things lately that I can’t even stand myself. What you want from me? Do you see things I don’t see? Mysterious feelings, comin’ my way I wanna crawl away and hide But you still can’t find me Gotta save myself, Are you trying to shape me? I’m doing things lately that I can’t even stand myself. But there’s one more thing Before I say goodbye Gotta save myself, It’s finally time to fly. I’m doing things lately that I can’t even stand myself.

Sometimes 03:28
Sometimes (Dodge) Sometimes you meet a stranger, Sometimes you deal your hand Sometimes you ask the questions, Sometimes you understand. Sometimes you wake up dreaming, Sometimes you dream all day. Sometimes the dream is scary, Sometimes you scare the dream away. Sometimes I feel I just don’t know you, Sometimes I feel. You, always ask me To say the things I just don’t know You say you’ll always love me, But sometimes I just don’t know. Sometimes I feel I just don’t know you, Sometimes I feel. Sometimes I feel I just don’t know you, Sometimes I feel. Sometimes you meet a stranger, Sometimes you deal your hand Sometimes you ask the questions, Sometimes you understand. Sometimes you wake up dreaming, Sometimes you dream all day. Sometimes the dream is scary, Sometimes you scare the dream away. Sometimes I feel I just don’t know you, Sometimes I feel. Sometimes I feel I just don’t know you, Sometimes I care.

Ghost Of A Chance (Dodge) Take off your disguise, If only for you Words fail again. And if you can’t stay the night, I’ll always remain. It’s a ghost of a Chance, out here Lay down again, not here. Nirvana before the night, It’s only for you Words fail again Leaving for the light... Fall down in your surprise Is all you can do Words fail again And if you can’t stay the night I’ll always remain. It’s a ghost of a Chance, Out here tonight, Lay down again.

These Words 05:22
These Words (Dodge) Thinking -thoughts that are in my head Saying - things I shouldn’t have said Love song, it’s all been said before These words, this time you can’t ignore Talking - we’re talking all night on the phone Singing- this song is from my heart Aching, her song couldn’t ache anymore These words, this time you can’t ignore Running my fingers through your hair Telling myself that I just don’t care I should just say that it just ain’t fair But I’m just not that way anymore. Raining- her tears rain down on me Crying- so hard but she can’t see Seeing, just ain’t believing no more These words, this time you can’t ignore Her eyes- keep staring as though you were blind She sighs- sometimes you wish you were kind She leaves, she slams your face in the door These words, this time you can’t ignore. Running my fingers through your hair Telling myself that I just don’t care I should just say that it just ain’t fair But I’m just not that way anymore.

Palindrome Girl (Dodge) She stopped down here, Not very long She helped me up and then Let me down. I asked her for a reason She couldn’t tell me why Now here I am Wondering where is she. Her face was distant Her eyes were very clear But thinking back I wonder If she was ever here. Sometimes I wonder Why I care Maybe it was something In the air Now here I am Wondering if I was there. Seeing things for the first time Really opens up my eyes And somehow Closes up my mind... Mind

Go Find Ann 02:49
Go Find Ann (Dodge) Go alone, no one follow Look around, she’s not here I’m alone, no one follow, There she is, is she there? Ann’s alive a mass of people I’m alone, in my steeple. Go find Ann, I’ve already found her Go find Ann Aw she looks so good Go find Ann With my arms around her Go find Ann I don’t know if I should. When I’m with her No one follows When she’s with me No one cares I see a face, a distant reflection I see it now Where did it go? Ann’s alive a mass of people I’m alone, in my steeple. Go find Ann, I’ve already found her Go find Ann Aw she looks so good Go find Ann With my arms around her Go find Ann I don’t know if I should. Go alone, no one follow Look around, She’s not there Ann’s alone, She’s come to save me I’m alone No one’s there. Ann’s alive a mass of people I’m alone, in my steeple. Go find Ann, I’ve already found her Go find Ann Aw she looks so good Go find Ann With my arms around her Go find Ann I don’t know if I should. Go find Ann, I’ve already found her Go find Ann Aw she looks so good Go find Ann With my arms around her Go find Ann I don’t know if I should.

(Feels Like I’m) Spinnin’ Round (Dodge) Her voice clouds your mind as you count the seconds down the side Of the mountain that you knew, You couldn’t climb Days go by, no tears to cry, Just the pain inside, no place to hide. Answers that no one has, it’s a question with no answer, How do I ask, so that you’ll understand? Days go by, and still I don’t know why Feels like I’m Spinnin’ ‘round in a circle. You ask someone why They say you live and then you die Some people don’t wanna know why I wanna know... How life can get so bad How little things can make you mad How we are supposed to be glad I wanna know. Days go by, and still I don’t know why Feels like I’m Spinnin’ ‘round in a circle. Rub your eyes and see All the colors there can be Most people don’t see That’s why I’m glad there’s you and me. Feels like I’m Spinnin’ ‘round in a circle. Feels like I’m Spinnin’ ‘round in a circle.

There Is Time (Dodge) I’m getting older but I feel so young inside Still can’t decide what to be. Your eyes are blue, mine are green What does that mean? It means There is time, there is time. The sun is high as my hopes reflect the day Yeah they’re many miles away I squint my eyes to see what I can see I see There is time, there is time. There is time for you and me, There is time There is time for you and me. Enclosed by The walls of our minds We travel far far away The sun shines I crawl inside my mind to find There is time, there is time. You give it up I take it along for a while Some things aren’t easy to see Your eyes are blue, mine are green What does that mean? It means There is time, there is time. There is time for you and me, There is time There is time for you and me. I’m getting older but I feel so young inside Yeah another year goes by Fourth of July, yeah Another New Years Day, but then There is time, there is time. There is time for you and me, There is time There is time for you and me. There is time for you and me, There is time There is time for you and me.
