julia
freedom comes and it waits for no one
julia
for this night you were born
live your life

inside you your deepest passions move
they tell you "all the time you walked you walked away the truth was at your fingertips"
say it now or say it never
all you senses sing together
julia we're hoping for you
may all good things adorn you
every star is in its place
they pour forth speech and whisper graces

julia, julia
inside you your deepest passions move
they tell you "all the time you walked you walked away the truth was at your fingertips"
inside you your deepest passions move
they tell you "all the time you walked you walked away the truth was at your fingertips"
inside you your deepest passions move
they tell you "all the time you walked you walked away the truth was at your fingertips"

every night when the sun dies you can feel it
you're so separated
songs of love sung from on high
you can hear them
if you concentrated on the time you walked away from love

. . .


blue eyes have never shined so brightly
you'll be leaving in the fall
chicago knows your name
i never knew your heart at all
and i'll miss you
and i'll wish you were here

*Chorus*
i never said that "i love you dear"
i never knew, i never knew your heart at all
but it seems like
i'll always be the other guy

no heart was ever bound so tight
will you build up another wall?
i'll never be like him
i swear im not like him at all
and i'll kiss you
and i'll skip a year

*Chorus*

i dont know why im gonna miss you till i die (x4)

i'll always be the other guy (x9)

. . .


Hold loosely to my hand
'Cause it's a long, long road
And you dont know and I dont know where it goes
Or where it ends
It's a long, long road, a long, long road

You're gonna get back on the front page, baby
Take turns driving your Mercedes
Get back? You don't even know if you can
Get back on the runway, honey
Do it for love, not for money
Get back? You don't even know if you can

It's complicated
It's long and winded
I've been frustrated
But I know you can make it

You're gonna get back on the front page, baby
Take turns driving your Mercedes
Get back? You don't even know if you can
Get back on the runway, honey
Do it for love, not for money
Get back? You don't even know if you can

I sell my passion for a dime
Unto a thousand hungry eyes
I covet kingdoms crumbling
What will we do when the fickle flee?

I'm yours if you don't say maybe

. . .

[No lyrics]

. . .


what got you throught the night wont do when the sunlight crashes through your blinds
it finds you, it finds you, it finds you sleeping on the floor

*Chorus*
padlocks on your door (x3)
drugs the drugs never did enough to stop the avalanche cascading
talking in your sleep
telling stories that you keep in a drawer beside your bed

incisions
decisions
prescriptions lying on the floor

*Chorus*

. . .


Cassie, come home
When she left, she left home she'd ever known
Cassie, come home
Words cannot express how her despair has grown

When she prays at night she feels like screaming

Say one word and I will read your lips
Say anything
Won't you give me this?

. . .


Dew on the grass
Cold hands
Blue dress
Remember that?

Do you miss the moon?
I do
All the stars above?
I do, I do
Don't breath the air
It's contagious
Once again, do you mind it's now?
Do you care it's here?
Don't say I do

What you want won't seem right
What you need is tonight
To be yourself
Can you be yourself?

Do you miss the moon?
I do
All the stars above?
I do, I do
Don't breath the air
It's contagious
Once again, do you mind it's now?
Do you care it's here?
Don't say I do

Uncomfortable
Don't say I do

I can't forget you
What you want is now

. . .


I did a casting call
it came out all wrong
you got the lead role
you want the walk on
the other passers-by they dont have a clue
that when I wrote the part I wrote it for you baby

*Chorus*
you try too hard to get it
it only takes a minute
here and now
its right in front of you
it doesnt matter to you you're only twenty and two
like a canon
locked and loaded

I hear your wurlitzer
I hear it playing a tune
its so beautiful
its just like you
its in a minor key but has a major resolve
I hope we can
I think we can after all baby

*Chorus*

the akward
the floating
the silence and the choking
the mystery
urgency
the passion and the irony

*Chorus*

. . .


Up the stairs and down the hall
To your door and through your wall
Sorry that I never called, sorry that I never called you
So please come to your window
I've been throwing rocks all night

I must be, I must be crazy
I never thought it would come to this
And maybe suicide by small increments
Amazing
I'll admit that its amazing
I cannot get my hands around it

Brick by brick I build these walls
Brick by brick I build these walls
Sorry that I never called, sorry that I never called you

I must be, I must be crazy
I never thought it would come to this
And maybe suicide by small increments
Amazing
I'll admit that its amazing
I cannot get my hands around it

So please come to your window
I've been throwing rocks all night
I must be, I must be
I must be crazy, baby

. . .


i count up all the times
i've been through this before but not so bad
im living a lie
and the worst part is to know that im not right
and through these times i know you're with me,
but something's got to change
i tell myself to let it go
then i dont

*Chorus*
i cannot hide when honesty says i've lied
regretfull and wondering why you heal me deep inside

and whisper to me "its gonna be ok"
im gonna be okay
your right here with me
here with me.
you teach me
complicate the lie
our wounds that darken almost daily
and all the time i heard a voice say,
"better wont come until i change me"
then something moved inside
teach me your will for my life

*Chorus*

this choice is mine
ill follow you all the time
and do what i know is right,
when i cant find my mind
and whisper to me "its gonna be ok"
im gonna be okay
your right here with me

everything will be ok
but everything wont be the same
everything will be ok
but everything wont be the same

and thats all right

. . .


another day another night
i think she lost count at one
but never gave into doubt
she closed her eyes
prayed evey night
and knew the signs were there
with eyes to the sky she saw hope loud
no sound
love rained down on her

*Chorus*
days just float on by and we're so occupied
that we forgot to cry
love shows its face
amazing grace
and everythings just fine

sometimes i wonder "are you listening?"
"do you really care?"
but prayers are answered in your time
im learning faith
im learning trust
i know true happiness
my fathers going to heaven
i'll see him
we'll smile

*Chorus*

and i'll see you in heaven (angels float on high) (x4)

i'll see you in heaven

. . .


I watched you from a distance
Increasing space at your request
Dim light and narrow view
I watched this take control of you

It hurts me to see you
Your eyes spoke words you didn't care
You trusted what betrayed you
It's gone and no one really cares at all

I said you've only got one time baby
This time is only worth what you make of it
The fractions in you I love are vacant
You need this?
You got it

Say all the right things
Hesitance, consequence
Cover it up
Make sure you cover it up
Nobody knows you
Nothing risked, nothing gained
He who pleads his case

I can hardly see you through the cracks of the wall
You wouldn't know a good thing if it pinned you to the ceiling
You've got a simple problem
It's your problem
It's my problem
What you want is now

. . .


if you so much as say my name into a phone
that you dialed for my home i'll come running back again
if you so much as entertain the thought of us
that you had while riding the bus ill come running back again

*Chorus*
Katie baby you drive me crazy
i cant get you off my mind
cant break the tie that binds
but now is not the time
i'll get it right this time
its lonely
its worth it
you better believe its worth it

watch the
reruns in my mind
drive by your house two or three times
your not home and i dont care
lies, lies

*Chorus*

you drive me crazy
you drive me crazy

its lonely
its worth it
