Even Better

You come home at 3 O’clock in the morning
Cuz’ you been workin’ so damn hard
There’s no time to pay heed to my yearnin’
You’re too busy for matters of the heart
When we go out for a bite,
you don’t have much to say
Unless I ask you about work
And then it’s all ok
Do you even know what I do with my time?
I been looking out for myself and I’m fine
I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
The solitude holds me and I
Feel like it knows me
even better than you do
I know you put the hours in
But you’re never at home
And I was tired of cryin’
About being alone
Every once in a while
I still feel that ache
and the missin’ you shows up
But it does go away
I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
My friends - they all know me
They hear all my woes
They know my secrets more than you do
I think I’ve gotten quite, fond of myself
I drink, and I smoke, and I sing and I don’t
Worry about you not calling me
I’m kinda busy now, doing things for me
I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
The solitude holds me and I
Feel like it knows me
even better than you do
A loneliness calls me, I oblige it politely
Oh it knows me better than you

Athens to Marrakesh
02:53

All the way from Athens
to Marrakesh
I dreamed that it would happen
and then you up and left
We would travel there by car
up to Milan
I would wear by best scarf in my hair
to stand out, or fit in
Monaco, we would go there too
Barcelona, Valencia with you
the windows down, the little downs
the city lights, the ocean at night with you
What happened to you?
All the way from Athens
to Marrakesh
I dreamed that it would happen
and then you up and left
You said to meet you
In Syntagma Square
onward to Jemma el Fan
the days would take us there
The air at night, the scents that bring you
Memories
Golden skin, silky thin
My dress would be
Your face, your gaze
The love we’d make,
Dancing at night with you
What happened to you?
All the way from Athens
to Marrakesh
I dreamed that it would happen
and then you up and left
All the way from Athens
to Marrakesh
I dreamed that it would happen
and then you up and left

Hanging by a Thread
04:24
|
|||
|
I was there at daybreak
Your train was late
I don’t know what made me stay
Been hanging by a thread these days
Clouds so full they might burst
When it rain now, it don’t hurt
I’ve tried to believe your words
salty deep seas won’t quench my thirst
But here we go again my love
Pretending like nothing’s wrong with us
And here we go again my love
Our shadows dancing over us
It’s not about the lack of
Getting by on this much
Living through the boom and bust
This waiting game describes us
If we pull too hard this might break
How much tension can we take
strike a match, we’ll burst to flames
Years of effort set ablaze
But here we go again my love
Pretending like nothing’s wrong with us
And here we go again my love
Our shadows dancing over us
But here we go again my love
Pretending like nothing’s wrong with us
And here we go again my love
Our shadows dancing over us
Our shadows dancing over us

Satiate
03:14

Bitter sweet, apple on the tree
Taste and touch, feel and see
Raw, real, your natural appeal
Smell, I can tell this is the real deal
Break hold, let it go free
Skin sweat, heart fret
Done in, factually sin
Don’t care, the closer I get
Hunger comes and goes
Only my heart knows
When it’s hungry, hungry
I wanna feed that ache
Make my body shake
There’s no need to discuss
just, satiate
Fast, slow, no way to know
Can’t keep track, not going back
spin, fine, draw a straight line
sadly kiss, no regrets
Twist, trun mindful yearn
desire, drive, history burns
fate, bait, you’re dinner on my plate
I’m getting hungry and I cant wait
Hunger comes and goes
Only my heart knows
When it’s hungry, hungry
I wanna feed that ache
Make my body shake
There’s no need to discuss, just say
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love
Ooh babe I’m starving
I wanna feed that ache
Make my body shake
There’s no need to discuss, just, say
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love
I’m starving for your love
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love and I can’t wait
I’m starving for you love
Just satiate

Take me to a party, and I’ll kiss you
Front’ of everybody, I dreamed I do,
Take me for a drive, and we’ll get heavy
Doesn’t it feel right, I know that you want me
Aiy-yi-ooh-ooh-ooh
We never got together like I wanted to
And now I’m leaning over
Your steering wheel
Crimson and clover
This is how it should feel
Ice cream and daydreams and malibu
Time marches on, love can be so cruel
Cryin’ on your shoulder, cold hard blues
Told me about her, what could I do
Aiy-yi-ooh-ooh-ooh
We never got together like I wanted to
And now I’m leaning over
Your steering wheel
Crimson and clover
This is how it should feel
This is how it should feel
Give all your kisses to me
You still feel the same
The way you hold my body
As the radio plays
And now I’m leaning over
Your steering wheel
Crimson and clover
This is how it should feel
Aiy-yi-ooh-ooh-ooh
We never got together like I wanted to

Summer Fool
03:28
|
|||
|
We ride into the fading light
Short shorts and flowers on my bike
You take my hand, by the riverside
And kiss my sweaty face goodnight
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’ll always be that girl
The one who believes in you
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’m just your summer fool
We wash our dirty toes
Dangling them as the river flows
You tell me you have to go
That look on your face I know
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’ll always be that girl
The one who believes in you
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’m just your summer fool
And the chances are small
That I’ll hear from you in the fall
And you might not think of me at all
I’m that silly girl to fall
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’ll always be that girl
The one who believes in you
Oh I’m just your summer fool
I’m just your summer fool
