Benjamin

It won't be time for talking until I say when

And with a little dose of philosophy, I'm sure I could draw you in again

Oh, Benjamin

And it won't be time for laughing until I say when

And with a little joke and some marbles

I'm sure I could make you roll again

Oh, Benjamin

Why am I always walking to your place in the rain

When I thought that I said I would never do this again

Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in

Or maybe it's just you

Oh, Benjamin

It won't be time for sleeping until I say when

And with a little bit of my breathing I'm sure I could give you heat again

Oh, Benjamin

And it won't be time for goodbyes until I say when

And when I say goodbye it means until we meet again

Oh, Benjamin

Why am I always walking to your place in the rain

When I thought that I said I would never do this again

Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in

Or maybe it's just you

Oh, Benjamin

Why am I always walking to your place in the rain

When I thought that I said I would never do this again

Why do I keep going back to your place in the rain

When I know that I said I would never do this again

Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in

Or maybe it's just you

Oh, Benjamin

I Got Your Back

For the first time I feel like you trust me 

All of this life I have been faithful to you

You took your time making up your mind

Can you finally fall right into me?

If you need to laugh

I'll make you laugh

If you need to cry

I'll be your shoulder 

When the stakes are high 

And the odds are stacked 

Don't you worry, baby

I got your back

We'll get through this if we work together

No one else can do it better

It's a little give and take

Mine is your heart to break

If you need to laugh

I'll make you laugh

If you need to cry

I'll be your shoulder 

When the stakes are high 

And the odds are stacked 

Don't you worry, baby

I got your back

No one thought we'd last this long

Guess we'll have to prove them wrong

Cuz when there's you and when there's me 

All I hear is harmony

If you need to laugh

I'll make you laugh

If you need to cry

I'll be your shoulder 

When the stakes are high 

And the odds are stacked 

Don't you worry, baby

I got your back

15 Below

We spent the night in the back of the Target parking lot

You kept me warm in the back seat 'till the sun came up

Before long you wanted to go

It was nearly 15 below

And your car was completely covered in snow

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

You got out and you wiped off the windows

Cuz I decided that it was time to eat

I suggested IHOP, but you don't like that spot

So we ended up at the little diner down the street

Before long you wanted to go

It was nearly 15 below

And your car was completely covered in snow

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

I took out my make-up and I pulled down the mirror

You said you like me just the way I am

But I just feel better when I'm wearing mascara

Will you still like me when my lips are cherry red?

Before long you wanted to go

It was nearly 15 below

And your car was completely covered in snow

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

Humpty Dumpty

If I was Humpty Dumpty 

And I sat on a wall and happened to fall

Well my head's coming apart

You think I need your heart?

No, baby, just give me your hand

And help me to my two feet

So we can walk away from here and do something

Well, I need somebody who can keep me in one piece

And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do

Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you

Cuz you might be the wrong man

The opposite of sitting is getting up off your ass

And doing something good for someone 'fore they even ask

The difference between you and me is I know how to laugh

You barley even show your teeth for the photographs

Well, I need somebody who can make me believe

And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do

Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you

Cuz you might be the wrong man

I wake up in the morning to the sound of you moaning

If you could do that on your own, why'd you take me home?

Some people like to take it slow, baby

And some people take it fast

It doesn't matter to me the speed, but honey make it last

Well, I need somebody who can set me free

And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do

Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you

Cuz you might be the wrong man

When You Smile

Can you tell the difference 

Between the fake and real

Or do you just feel it?

When you look into my eyes

Do you know what I am thinking

Though my lips don't move?

When you smile

Nothing matters anymore

All my cares go out the door

When you smile

It's everything, it's in your eyes

You inspire me to be more like myself

When you smile

Is it a coincidence 

That our souls should meet

And we would fall in love

I asked of all the stars

Hanging in the sky

And I prayed to up above

When you smile

Nothing matters anymore

All my cares go out the door

When you smile

It's everything, it's in your eyes

You inspire me to be more like myself

When you smile

The world dives in the deep end

And when it starts to seep in

When it's all going wrong

You spit it out in a song

With nothing taken personally

I know it'd be the worst for me

But somehow you can handle it

A bright, burning candle lit

Shining on the rest of us 

And highlighting the best of us

And whatever remains beneath

Just hides below your teeth

When you smile

Nothing matters anymore

All my cares go out the door

When you smile

It's everything, it's in your eyes

You inspire me to be more like myself

When you smile

Nothing matters anymore

All my cares go out the door

When you smile

It's everything, it's in your eyes

You inspire me to be more like myself

When you smile

Long, Long Way

Highway

Driving in my car

Counting mile markers

Calculating how far we've gone

Highway

Making good time

Staring out the window

And watching as the trees pass us by

Highway

And it's a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go home

Highway

We're singing along

Turning up the volume

Rolling the windows all the way down

Highway

Accelerating

Speeding in the left lane

And flashing the brights to the car up ahead

Highway

And it's a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go home

Highway, highway, highway

Highway

Getting back on it

Merging with the traffic

And waving thanks in the rearview mirror

Highway

I'm driving in my car

I'm counting mile markers

Calculating how far we've gone

Highway, highway, highway

And it's a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

I Owe You Nothing

I say you're beautiful inside

I wouldn't lie to you

Not when my heart is on the line

I give that look cuz I'm imagining

What it would be like

To hold your breath in mine

And I look down cuz 

We're impossible

Then I look up and I scan the stars

You've given me so much

And you say that I owe you nothing

Broken shadows emerge as one

You hold my hands now

And silence all my fears

You ask if I'm gonna be all right

But you know I won't feel better

Till my eyes are dry from the tears

And I look down cuz 

We're impossible

Then I look up and I scan the stars

You've given me so much

And you say that I owe you nothing

Without You

I don't recognize that smile on your face

Why do you disguise and put your best to waste

I know what you're doing

You've done it before

What you're doing

You can't do it anymore

This is my confession

I know I do it all the time

But I have learned my lesson

And I'm taking back what is mine

I know what I'm doing

I've done it before

What I'm doing

I can't do it anymore

And I know I'm not by myself without you

And I know I'm not by myself without you

I tried to take a stand 

For what I thought we were fighting for

But it's not what you had planned

So who's holding the door

I know what we're doing

We've done it before

What we're doing

We can do it anymore

And I know I'm not by myself without you

And I know I'm not by myself without you

O Baticum Da Fe

A broken glass is still beautiful

A profound rain flies like an airplane

I know your beauty by heart

Because you arrived after the passion

A big moon

A frozen star

From far away

From memory

The rhythm of faith

Tendency

I have a tendency to get worked up and overreact

But my little sister taught me to sit back and take a deep breath

I have a tendency to get worked up and overreact

But my little sister taught me to sit back, try to relax

 

Back and Forth

You came to me in a dream

When I hardly even knew you 

And I started wondering

Just who you are

And what you're all about

So I got in touch with you 

To figure this fantasy out

And now it's back and forth

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

Hanging on every word

Back and forth 

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

And I'm just hanging on your every word

Now all that I seem to recall

I got lost inside your kisses 

And I didn't mind at all

But curiosity got the best of me

Let's move beyond the letters

And test this chemistry

And now it's back and forth

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

Hanging on every word

Back and forth 

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

And I'm just hanging on your every word

Now I'm just waiting for your next move

So I can ready my defense

I'm good at falling hard and really fast

Without any common sense

So what's the word, what's the word are you ready

To step outside and walk with me

Hold my hand, hold the door, hold my face when you kiss me

And write me some poetry

But it's just back and forth

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

Hanging on every word

Back and forth 

And nothing's moving forward

Back and forth

And I'm just hanging on your every word

I Had to Leave

They were a match made in heaven

And all of their friends did agree

But sometimes some things just happen

And some love is not meant to be

In the sunny corner diner

She read what he said

But with bright lights and wide eyes upon her

Not even one tear was shed

He wrote "Baby, I have tried

But this is what I need

In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly

Please don't cry

You know I had to leave."

Now in the bathroom she's crying

Cuz deep down she knows

That while his toothbrush is still lying there

He was just dying to go

He wrote "Baby, I have tried

But this is what I need

In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly

Please don't cry

You know I had to leave."

P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star

I got a picture of you hanging inside my car

P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star

And I'll toast this next one to you

"Oh my baby, I have tried

But this is what I need

In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly

Please don't cry

You know I had to leave."

When I Die

When I die put me on a bus

Take me to the desert and sprinkle my dust

When I say those last words

Somebody send me a savior and not a curse

Cuz I know I ain't been all together too good

But, baby, I seen worse

And when that angel shows his face

Takes me by the hand to that sacred place

I will say with faith in my eye

That on the way out I enjoyed the ride

I won't go regretting the good or the bad stuff

When I die

Oh, Lord, cuz when I die put me on a bus

Take me to the desert and sprinkle my dust

You can sprinkle my dust

You can sprinkle my dust
