Romeo And Juliet
Oh you'd never seen anyone looking so fair
Wildflowers in a garland tied up in her hair
Warm light in her eyes like a summer sunset
That's how Romeo found his Juliet (2x)
He said hey I don't think I've see you here before
And I've spent too many nights on this dirty dance floor
She said yeah I'm not out much, I haven't been free
He said I'd sure love it if you'd dance with me
So they danced and they smiled and they laughed and they blushed
'til the whole room seemed to be flyin'
At the end of the night they shared a long hard kiss
This was real, there could be no denyin'
Well Juliet's brother John was famously mean
All sneers and punches and gun magazines
Oh and he never liked Romeo's friends at school
They were too well-heeled and thought they were so cool
He said I heard you saw my sister last night
And Romeo was no good at lyin'
John said meet me here at 9 and be ready to fight
Juliet couldn't keep from cryin'
At the park it was cold and dark and cruel
Johnny's eyes shone red like the devil's tool
He swung first and missed, went down and fell hard
Romeo never touched him, just ran to his car
Juliet's sobs and screams made her blood run too cold
For her sweet little heart to keep supplyin'
Some folks just don't have enough strength for this life
Sometimes it's so hard to keep from dyin'
He pulled up to her house and there were people all around
Nobody could keep from cryin'
He saw the doctor and screamed "Where is my love?"
He said she's here, but her spirit is flyin'

Kinda Like A Love Song I Guess
You look up, I look down
You say hi, I turn around
Autumn skin, summer dress
Kinda like a love song I guess
A couple words, a crooked smile
A minute or two turns into awhile
Laughs that linger, eyes that confess
Kinda like a love song I guess
You're the girl with the twinkling eyes
And I'm the boy that you've hypnotized
Someone should really be writing this down
Time to go, a bit too soon
What are you doin' Sunday afternoon?
A long goodbye, a warm caress
Kinda like a love song I guess
A walk together on the cool white sand
Sweet hesitations then holding hands
Someone should really be writing this down
One year on, a greeting card
You're makin' easy what used to be so hard
Can't wait for more, and I won't settle for less
Kinda like a love song I guess

On The Side
You call me up
You turn me down
You say your husband's in town
You make the rules
You break 'em, too
You tell me what to do
'Cause it's you, you're the only one
And it's true, you're only having fun
Do what you want, do what you wan
Even if what you want is just a ride
Take what you want, take what you want
Even if what you want is on the side
You lie to me
You like to him
You fill your cup to the brim
You serenade
You laugh so raw
You cut me deep like a saw
You pass through, a waterfall through a sieve
Nothing new, getting more than you give
Oh, I had dreams
But I let 'em go
Not sure when
They just faded slow

You’d better pull over, he said
It’s a bit of a wonder you’re not dead
He’s being kind, but I’m in a bind
That was quite a maneuver back there
You sure gave some people a scare
You wanna see scared, you’re not prepared
I just put my foot on the gas
I push it down, I look up, I go fast
I know I’m not blind
I know I’m not bind
‘Cause I can still see the lines
Yeah I can still see the lines
Step onto the pavement, young man
Follow the light in my hand
But it’s so dark, you make no mark
Walk down this line, right here
You smell like cold sweat and beer
Don’t you curse, I’ve been worse
It’s just one more black Saturday
One more chance to blow me away
Before she pulled me under
I saw straight ahead
But now with/out her thunder
It’s only white and red
It all comes as fast as it goes
I spin 'round, where I stop, nobody know

FEEL BETTER
When you knew that you’d won
And it was only you underneath the sun
You smiled and broke my heart
Like a cruel, broken, wicked work of art
Long ago, before the flood
There was love and lovely flowing in your blood
Anymore, you're an empty shell
Thirteen steps away from going to hell
I don't know why you can't feel
That everything you do, everything you do...is real
I don't know why you can't taste
The poison that's been laying you to waste
Oh I wish you’d put the bottle down
‘Cause it won’t make you feel better, no it won’t make you feel better
And I wish you wouldn’t hang around
‘Cause it won’t make me feel better, no it won’t make me feel better, ever
I’ve been working, working hard
You see I let it down, but now I’m trying to put up my guard
Some protection from your mouth
And the sorry strings of words that fall out
I don't know why you can't hear
I’m not gonna scream, never gonna scream, in your ear
I don’t know why you can’t see
That every time you bleed, you spill a little bit on me
