So many times I've tried to Tell you what you mean to me Shown you every conceivable way Explained every possibility Just when I think I got you believin' You turn and you run away Only to appear days later Saying "I love you, can I stay?" You're in, you're out Can't keep track of if you love me Or if you don't If you'll be calling or coming home Or if you won't You gotta make up your mind, now baby All this back and forth is killing me You've run outta time, now baby You gotta make up your mind I look ahead at our future Everyday, you and I You say it's forever, baby You look me right in the eye Suddenly, I can't find you anywhere No note or text to be read I hear you're out with someone A week later, you're in my bed You gotta make up your mind, now baby It's so unfair, can't you see? You've had a lot of time, now baby More than enough, don't you agree? Gotta make up your mind, now baby What you need, what you want From you and me We've run outta time, now baby You gotta make up your mind I know I was good I know it inside Don't know what you want But it's time to decide It's time to decide... You gotta make up your mind, now baby All this back and forth is killing me You've had the time, now baby More than enough, don't you agree? Gotta make up your mind, now baby What you need, what you want From you and me We've run outta time, now baby You gotta make up your mind I've bent over backwards for you It's now or never, it's decision time You gotta make up your mind (J.

When I look back, I think of you Our high school days, and the rest of our crew Simple Minds, the best of friends Duran Duran, thought it would never end Converse high tops, Secret love Crazy dreams, we would never fall short of We helped each other through each growing pain Ports in the storm, as it poured Purple Rain Loved you then, love you now Wish you were here somehow Laughing the pain away Watching Footloose at the dollar movies All the lows, all the highs I could see in your eyes We'd all be okay So long as time never flies And Molly Ringwald sighs… Today I look back, how lucky we were Having each other to get through the blur Listening to records upstairs after school Bronski Beat, Violent Femmes, Madness, Specials So cool No matter what has come and what will go Can't forget those days and I want you to know How grateful I am to you for easing the strain Sure could use that now, as it pours Purple Rain Loved you then, love you now Wish you were here somehow Laughing the pain away Watching Footloose at the dollar movies All the lows, all the highs I could see in your eyes We'd all be okay So long as time never flies... Crazy dreams, Dollar movies, Easing the pain Bronski Beat records, There for each other Through the Purple Rain Wish you were here somehow Laughing the pain away Watching Footloose at the dollar movies I've seen my life pass me by Wish I could look in your eyes And know I'd be okay It'll be okay It'll all be okay I could see in your eyes We'd all be okay As long as time never flies And Molly Ringwald sighs… (J.

Slow down Take a deep breath, babe Look at me Everything's fine Everything's just fine You're going outta your head I don't know why And you're looking at me Like something gone awry Nothing to worry about Ain't no trouble here At least, none I can find No reruns here, my baby No way in Hell History gonna repeat itself We been there done that Dealt the heartbreaks Better, stronger this time Learned from our mistakes Believe it now & all that's possible Have faith in us and that it won't be Like the last time, baby Remember when We were both brand new Our New England nights Our pristine love just grew Whispering your name Your eyes answered back While Celine and Natalie Merchant Served as our soundtrack I can't make you remember, baby And I won't beg you to stay Just take some time If that's what you're needing To heal your heart And stop it from bleeding Oh what's the use I did you wrong and there's no excuse Just kiss me now and say This ain't the last time, baby Oh Everything's fine Oh Everything's just fine And there's no excuse Believe in us & all that's possible Have faith in you and me and that it won't be Just like the last time, baby I can't make you remember, baby And I won't beg you to stay We'll take some time If that's what we're needing To heal our hearts To stop the bleeding Oh what's the use Did each other wrong And there's no excuse Kiss each other now and say Goodbye one last time, baby (J.

Anything & everything you say Is so perfect Like every bad habit and drug To my addict Dangling your perfection in perfectly Perfect ways I think you're only happy When you're breaking my heart You're only truly happy Once you've torn it apart Like a change in the weather I really should know better Opening dead letters From you One chance, one hope, maybe this time It might be true You say you see us in love You see us Happily Ever After At least That's what you say between the laughter You're my fixation, my craving My drug connect Every word is a rig Filled with the lies you inject I think you're only happy When you're breaking my heart You're only truly happy Once you've torn it apart Like a change in the weather I really should know better Opening dead letters from you One chance, one hope, maybe this time It might be true Maybe this time This time It might be true I think you're only happy When you're breaking my heart (J.

it's been a long 13 13 years have gone into the mists of memory where reality doesn't belong you are young you are perfect you can do no wrong never will again forever strong I want to know what were you thinking? I need to know trouble for me is I don't know forever and what I do know can change has changed forever for you and forever for me are not, in any way, the same I want to know what were you thinking taking the keys? I need to know I need to know what brought you to that I need to know what were you thinking behind the wheel? a poor replacement a tough act to follow I wasn't their father my answers were hallow a poor excuse and it was never the same I wonder today I wonder today If they even remember my name even remember my name I want to know what were you thinking taking the keys? I want to know what brought you to that I need to know what were you thinking? getting behind the wheel I need to know why? why didn't you call me? we could have talked it out you should have called me I would have listened to whatever it was that had you in doubt I would have listened to whatever drowned you in doubt I would have listened to you what were you thinking?

Muddy Angel 02:56
Are you Saint or Sinner? I haven't a clue Who am I to judge? I carved my initials into the pew I think you tripped into Heaven If I were to venture a guess Head first in a puddle Truly blessed, nonetheless (like some kind of filthy holy water) That's when you fell from above My muddy Angel Do me good or do me wrong Or do me Good & Wrong I'll show penance, darlin' To the beat of a Heavenly torch song Strip me of every prayer Lay every wicked hand upon me tonight Even angels with dirty faces Are Divine, when breathless in first light That's when you fell from above My muddy Angel (like some kind of filthy holy water) Truly blessed, nonetheless Even angels with dirty faces Are Divine, when breathless in first light That's when you fell from above My muddy Angel That's when you fell from Heaven My muddy Angel My muddy Angel (J.

God 04:01
They say you're everything Or nothing at all No response to their call You're the good when it's gone bad Or the reason why we're all so sad The silver lining for when they're mad I could choose to believe One over the other But I'm not convinced, nope Nope not yet Are you Christ's father? Or a fatty whose belly they love to rub for luck Or are you nothing? Nothing Absolutely nothing at all Now Do you take the form of a seminarian proctor Or maybe you hide deep in the jungles as a Witch Doctor There are those who think you're merciless All wrapped up in wrath and judgement Fire and brimstone and fury's kiss Then there are those that call you Allah, Bhagavan, Jehovah, Buddha, The Universe Or nothing at all They call you nothing at all Are you the good when all is bad? (all is bad) Or the reason why we're all so sad (why we're all so sad) Make them glad The silver lining for when their mad Do we trust in which belief? Such a Such a Relief Just show yourself It would be such a relief But I'm not convinced yet I'm not convinced yet Nope, not yet They call you God Bhagavan, Allah, Jehovah, Prophet, Buddha, The Universe and God So should we trust in which belief? Showing yourself Would be such Could be such Would be such, such A relief (J. Hudson) © 2012 Invincible City Records, LLC.
