Say You're With Me

Roundin' the corners
Twist in the wind
Feeling the pressure
Yeah it builds from within'

And you can hear the countdown callin' 1, 2 3
Raise your hands cuz it's time to believe
There's no despair
Love's in the air...tonight

(chorus)
Say you're with me
Or say you want to go
My bags are packed
It's time to move on you know

Taking the bi-ways
Lost in the crowds
Reachin' for heaven
But lost on the ground

(bridge)
No need to take the train to anywhere
Rise above your anger you're almost there
There's no depsair
Love's in the air.... tonight

(chorus)
Say you're with me
Or say you want to go
My bags are packed
It's time to move on you know

Tonight I'll show you.. My plan (to chorus x3)

Oh Oh Say you're with me
Say you're with me
Say you're with me
Say you're with me
Just say you're with me (to bridge and chorus)

DO YOU WANNA GO HOME

She was just another "girl gone wild'
Far from home, yeah a runnaway child
Feeling the streets from the back seat of a car

Well she grew up in a normal home
Hit the pavement running well before she was 21
Searchin' for answers thinkin'she was alone

L.A. was going to be her town
Gonna make it big be a star somehow
Slip the needle in, don't worry about her friends

(chorus)
So tell me girl do you wanna go home
Your mother misses you and daddy's not at home
There's more to life than livin' in despair
So tell me lady what's the price you paid
Sellin' your soul day by day
So tell me girl don't you wanna go home

She was a problem child or so they said
Didn't want to play with dolls
Wanted to chase the boys instead
O girl you didn't have to run

Well as time slips on by her
Those memories just won't fade
She's still searchin' for the riddle
Cuz the answer is the price she paid
(to chorus)

She was just another "girl gone wild'
Far from home, yeah a runnaway child
Feeling the streets from the back seat of a car

L.A. was going to be her town
Gonna make it big be a star somehow
Slip the needle in, don't worry about her friends
(to chorus)

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

I've been a fool
Thinkin' I could survive
Thinkin I didn't need you
By my side

I should have seen the answers
Should've heard the call

(Chorus)
Should have known better
Than to let you go
Should have held on tighter
I shouldn't have let you run

I've been a little crazy
Since you walked out the door
That voice inside my soul
Wanted to run and hide

And I.. Should've seen the answers
Seen the writing on the wall
Should've held on tighter
Shouldn't have let you fall
(to chorus)

Bridge
What kind of fool
Would have let you go
I look in the mirror
And the answer is clear

And I.. Should've seen the answers
Seen the writing on the wall
Should've held on tighter
Shouldn't have let you fall
(to chorus)

I Believe

I've been thinkin' about what was said
And ya know I'm still upset
by the very look I see in your eyes

And I've heard through the wire
That you gonna call this love quits
But when I said "forever" that is what I meant

Oo And I believe in holding hands
Long walks together on the sand
I believe in you and me
I believe in silent nights
Morning drives that last all night
oo girl I believe in you and me

I've been searchin' for the right words
I hope would calm you down
But sometimes life's not fair

And I've dreamed those dreams
That we've conquered those fears
And when I said "forever" that is what I meant

Oo And I believe in holding hands
Long walks together on the sand
I believe in you and me
I believe in silent nights
Morning drives that last all night
oo girl I believe in you and me

I've been looking for the right time
To gently take your hand
And whisper the words of love that we need to hear

Cuz I believe in miracles
I believe in love
I believe tomorrow will be the start of the rise above

Oo And I believe in holding hands
Long walks together on the sand
I believe in you and me
I believe in silent nights
Morning drives that last all night
oo girl I believe in you and me

This is one of the most heartfelt lyrics I have ever written. While all lyrics come from the heart, some like this one take a little bit more out of you and as a result mean a little more in terms of feeling than others. I hope someone at some point will take this lyric and put the same feeling the words contain into the music so it can be shared with others. Crazy? Perhpas but I never said I was 100% sane anyway. So if anyone would like to tackle the music to this lyric (or any others for that matter!) please do. You have my blessing and sincere hope you will find it a rewarding experiance. JMD.

Down and Out

Ridin' on the tidal wave of love
Lord don't let me fall
Sink or swim I'm on the crest of a norm
Won't somebody let me hang ten

Cuz I've been down to bottom sitting on the ocean floor
Staring at the ceiling just looking for love

(chorus)
Down and out
Looking for something that I have forgotten about
Down and out
I handed you my heart now my loves worn out

Searchin for a feeling that has passed me by
Lord take my hand
Push and shove I'm just looking for love
Won't someone let me in

Cuz I've been down to the river swallowed by the flood gates
Heaven opened up but I fear it's hell that awaits
(to chorus)

(Bridge)
And it seems there's nothing left for you and I
I've cried all I can cry
Is there nothing left of you and I.... (Yeah!)

(chorus2)
Cuz I'm Down and out
Looking for something...
Down and out
Looking for you
Down and out
Down and out
Down and out

SKIN ON SKIN

Feel the anger build inside
The blood you spilled can cost you life

Seal your fate with the flash of a knife
Skin on skin are you up for the fight

Cuz it's a knockdown fight on the edge of the streets
Back alley runnings have got you beat
Play the middle don't try to win
Knock yourself out cuz death's gonna win

Skin on Skin
Are you gonna win
Skin on Skin
Don't let it in
Skin on Skin
Skin on Skin
Skin on Skin

Back alley lovers don't leave room for stains
Kiss your dreams goodbye when you can't take the pain
Cuz it's a knockdown fight on the edge of the streets
Back door knockers have got you beat

Skin on Skin
Are you gonna win
Skin on Skin
Don't let it in
Skin on Skin
Skin on Skin
Skin on Skin
