Where Did All My Friends Go?

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:46:36 -0800

Just once in my life,
show me no fear.
Where fear is no love can be.
Don't pledge yourself by me.

You won't get the most out of life
by calling my name.
I'll do what I can for you,
as long as you want me to.
But it's never the same.

Chorus:
Where did all my
friends go?
friends go?

Where did all my
friends go?
friends go?

The losses in life
are more than I can bear.
Why have a memory
if pain's all it brings to me?

I've got to move on with my life,
but how I don't know.
When I look at the scenery,
it's only the past I see.
And it won't let me go.

Where Did All My Friends Go?

Capitalize on Christmas

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:34:56 -0800

I'm here to spread some Christmas cheer,
like everyone else this time of year.
Let's sing of snow and mistletoe,
and jolly Santa's ho ho ho.

Now rush off to the store and buy
happiness and corporate lies.
And make sure as you run along,
you pick up my new Christmas song.

Chorus:
I just wanna capitalize on Christmas (Christmas)
I just wanna capitalize on Christmas (Christmas)
I just wanna capitalize on Christmas (Christmas)
I just wanna capitalize on Christmas (Christmas)

Why is it that every pop star
has to pick up their guitar
and pretend to be inspired
to write a Christmas song for hire?

Their label does it for the money.
You know what really makes it funny?
It takes so long to record a CD,
They write the songs in Feburary.

Chorus

So not to kill the Christmas cheer,
I'd rather have my family near.
And listen to songs about reindeer,
not something by Britney Spears.

Once

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:39:39 -0800

A story of boy and girl
Alone in a crowded world.
Somebody to hold my hand;
Give hope in a hopeless land.

When you are here with me
Things just don't stay the same.
Thoughts about you fill my mind;
Everything's ok.

Lost in a dream
I can dream of what you have seen.
Now, close our eyes and
together dream everything.

But I sit alone again,
Waiting here for a friend.
I knew that you would come by.
Now I know it was a lie.

Once in a dream I could
see how it ought to be.
Dancing with you all alone
sharing everything.
Lost in a land far away
happiness would reign.
Waiting here now I know
a dream it will remain.

Now I sit alone again.
Same story never ends.
A boy from a distant land;
But who really holds my hand?

Waiting here for you and me,
I wonder if we will be.
Darkness comes upon the land.
Again it's alone I stand.

What Are Friends For?

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 15:32:19 -0800

We sit at home late one moonless night.
City glows outside.
Start a new time, starting again.
I wonder what I'll do this time.

They were right; they always are you know.
I'm writing words that they said long ago.
Call to me, you know I'll be there.
I'm always the one ready to go Home.

What would I do without You?
What would I do without You?

Chorus:
What are friends for?
What are they for?
What are friends for?
What are they for?

She hugs him, he hugs her,
once/long ago I hugged someone also.
Now I sit alone here again.
Seems to me it always ends up this way.

Late night TV tells me what to do:
Call them up, remember what you knew.
Maybe I should call you up instead.
Well, maybe I already did.

What would I do without you?
What would I do without you?

Chorus

Bridge:
This is not the song I thought I'd sing.
This is not the one I thought I'd be.
Seems I say only what really is.
Seems to be that you're the one I'll be.

Chorus (2x)
What are friends for?
What are they for?
What are friends for?
Thank you more and more and more.

I Want You To Know Me

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:05:12 -0700

I'm tired of sitting here
alone every day.
Gotta show the world
what I've got to say.

I'm tired of calling out
when no one's there to hear.
I don't want to find out
that no one's even near.

Chorus:
I want you to know who I am
I want you to just understand
I want you to know everything about me
(It's just that easy)

All these people walking by,
that I don't even see.
Passing people every day
that won't remember me.

What if I met everyone
that I saw every day.
I probably would have made
a million friends that way.

Chorus

Bridge:
One more person
One more friend
Some more daylight
I'll keep going till the end

Chorus
