If my world was over
And if my time had come
There may be nobody
To love me when I’m moving on
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
‘Cause no one’s gonna love me like the way you do
‘Cause no one’s gonna love me like the way you do
When my mind grows weary
And my heart is like a sinking stone
There ain’t nobody gonna lift me up
The way you do
Girl, I want you to know
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
‘Cause no one’s gonna love me like the way you do
‘Cause no one’s gonna love me like the way you do
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life
That’s why I (I) I (I) need you for the rest of my life

Our American Way

Willie was a man who knew you, baby
Sitting on a leather throne
But Willie wouldn’t stand to meet you, baby
Unless you were left alone
Now everybody knew you were having fun
Doing what you wanted to do
But Willie said you must have brought it on yourself
When that junkie put his hands on you
Now I know it’s not okay
But it’s just our American way
To play the game
Of who’s left to blame
Annie was a woman who prayed on Sunday
Waiting on the Lord to come
Jesus said, “I never knew you, Annie.
You were looking out for number one.”
Annie said, “You must be joking, Jesus
I’ve been on every TV show
Telling everyone they’re gonna burn in hell
With the Muslim homosexuals.”
Now I know it’s not okay
But it’s just our American way
To play the game
Of who’s left to blame
David was a man who made his money
Picking peaches from a holy tree
God said, “David, whatchu doing, man?
That’s the fruit I told you not to eat.”
David ran away with the cash in hand
Looking for a place to hide
Well he bought himself a mansion and a family too
Selling Jesus to suburbanites
Now I know it’s not okay
But it’s just our American way
To play the game
Of who’s left to blame
Now I know it’s not okay
But it’s just our American way
To change the game
When you’re the one to blame

The Way We Say Goodbye

Oh my love, you break, break me down
Into pieces only you have found
Separated on our here & now
All my wars inside
Give up, slowly satisfied
This is not the way we say goodbye
You know I know I’m a healing mess
Giving, taking, hiding from regrets
Kicking, screaming, filling the hole in my chest
With all my wars inside
I just want you satisfied
This is not the way we say goodbye
It warms my yearning heart
When we are still
Surrounded by our memories
I know we will.
I can’t die with you here with me
It could be tomorrow as we sleep
Who will know the secrets that we keep
All these wars I hide
Lay their guns down at your side
For this is not the way we say goodbye.

You can’t get out of the mirror
You want to satisfy
But I can’t be what you want forever
So don’t waste my time
I won’t say I’m any better
I believed the lie
But I won’t give up what I’m after
So you can shine
It’s a lonely road
When no one’s walking by you
And no one stands beside you
You’ve got a little more left to do
So when there’s nothing left to say,
Will you change your ways?
It makes you feel like a player
When you read my mind
But if you look real hard, you’ll discover
What’s yours ain’t mine
It’s a lonely road
When no one’s walking by you
And no one stands beside you
You’ve got a little more left to do
So when there’s nothing left to say,
Will you change your ways?
It’s a lonely road
When no one’s walking by you
And no one stands beside you
You’ve got a little more left to do
So when there’s nothing left to say,
Will you change your ways?
You’ve got to have it, got to have it, got to have it…

Thread On Fire

If you want love like money, honey
If you want to count the cost
Lay it out on the table, baby
‘Cause it ain’t found where it can’t be lost
If I was a fool where I came from, honey
Looking for a hand to hold
I’d be sleeping in another bed, baby
Waking up with nowhere else to go
How do you know what it feels like, honey?
Do you have the eyes to see
That I don’t want what you give me baby
If talk is cheap, then your words are free.
There was a time when you saw me, honey
Hanging by a thread on fire
I never said I didn’t need you
But what good is love with a bad desire?
If you want love like money, honey
If you want to count the cost
Lay it out on the table, baby
‘Cause it ain’t found where it can’t be lost
