It’s full of love

Some stupidity

Yesterday I had a look

At my family tree

I tried to go back

Through my history

Was trying to figure out

If something’s wrong with me

I tried to see a doctor

I got a therapist

After every consultation

We all ended up pissed

They took me off their lists

I wrote a hell of a review

They said: “We ain’t got a cure for you Sir”

“Or what you’re going through”

I’ve tried everything that I could find

But nothing’s working

After all this time

I’ve tried every drink known to mankind

But there you are

Still on my mind

You’re like college friend

Crashing on my couch

Oh you know that I care for you

So I won’t kick you out

But you living in my head

Is making me hell bent

So if you’re gonna stay there

At least pay some rent

I’ve tried everything that I could find

But nothing’s working

After all this time

I’ve tried every drink known to mankind

But there you are

Still on my mind

Guess I’m on the short end

I lost my credit card

So before I get another round

Take the keys to my car

Cause focusing is hard

My head is carousel

Could be a good or a bad time

It’s like a dirty motel

I’ve tried everything that I could find

But nothing’s working

After all this time

I’ve tried every drink known to mankind

But there you are

Still on my mind

If I could only get a minute to myself sometime

Oh, hey! There you are

Still on my mind

Still on my mind

Still on my mind

Still on my mind

Still on my mind

There’s a friend of mine

Asking ‘bout a friend of mine

Perhaps the three of us could all hang out sometime?

Oh I wouldn’t mind being – what he’s asking for

I guess he heard

What I heard about her

Must have heard the word from a little bird

That singer she was seeing – they’re not together anymore

So what he really need

Is for me to be

A mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

Like when I went to a show

With somebody I know

I asked Mary to go, so I didn’t have to go alone

If it wasn’t for her – what would you and I say?

She broke the ice in the conversation

It was the perfect collaboration

Provided some foundation – then she drifted away

Would it have been you and me in the end

If it wasn’t for our friend?

Our mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

Without Mary I’d stand there anxiously, or drift around aimlessly

One eye on my drink - one on the exit door

When your eyes looked my way

My hands didn’t shake like an aero plane

Didn’t end up spilling my beer on the floor

The mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

Mutual friend

There’s a friend of mine

Asking ‘bout a friend of mine

Perhaps the three of us could all hang out sometime?

When the sun is going down

It brings me down too

It’s another lonely evening

Here without you

My mind won’t stop dreaming

Of our secret touch

Oh my darling

I miss you too much

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

It has almost been a year

Living in uncertainty

You know that if I could

I would fly across the sea

For each time that you wonder

If our love will fall apart

Just know my darling

I will love you just as hard

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

If tomorrow, I could wake and see your face

Everything would fall back into place

All the waiting

Makes me sad and blue

Yet I’m not giving up on you

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

Million miles from the taste of your kiss

Million miles away

Million miles away

TV’s not plugged in

The light is kind of bright in here

But I know I wouldn’t mind

The two of us sitting there

At a table set for two

In a sofa – you chose blue

Beneath a brand-new reading lamp

Perhaps a couple of plastic plants

Before we came I had no idea

I would fall in love with you at IKEA

Before I met you

I drank wine from a coffee mug

I’ve come to learn that you really don’t like

That worn-out oriental rug

Smiling kids in a picture frame

Where we don’t know anybody’s name

I guess the key to a happy home

Print your picture in sepia tone

Before we came I had no idea

I would fall in love with you at IKEA

So let’s pack up the car and go back home

As soon as you’re done with your ice cream cone

Cause before we came I had no idea

I would fall in love with you at IKEA

It’s just me, my heart, and mind hanging out tonight

Every time we do we can’t help but talk about you

And as the evening falls, the more I wonder

If this shit coming from their mouths – could it really be true?

Like:

Right now some other guy is brushing up against her

Can’t you tell from her last reply she’s drinking more than she should?

And while you’re sitting here with your decaffeinated coffee

She’s doing more cocaine than Stevie Nicks could

Oh my stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Making the wrong kind of reflections

Stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Heading down the wrong direction

Boy do we love us some

Stupid thoughts and stupid questions

Like:

“Where were you the other night?”

“You must have been out having a real good time”

“I don’t know even know who that guy is –

But he’s not a buddy of mine”

Oh my stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Making the wrong kind of reflections

Stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Heading down the wrong direction

Boy do we love us some

Stupid thoughts and stupid questions

I try smoking one of her cigarettes

From the package she left – on this cold balcony

And as I look up to the stars I get a text

Where it says she’s thinking of me

Oh my stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Making the wrong kind of reflections

Stupid mind

Stupid heart

When we get together we always start

Heading down the wrong direction

Boy do we love us some

Stupid thoughts and stupid questions

A steward tried not to look at us

The sadness in our eyes, the tremble in our voice

We held each other and tried not to cry

Didn’t want to let go, but we had no choice

She grabbed her bag, we locked eyes for a while

They called her flight, we said goodbye

In the parking lot a tear fell on my hand

When I looked up and saw her touch the sky

I can still see her blue eyes

Hear her whisper I love you

As I close my eyes and wander Memory Avenue

We sat in the café, shared a slice of lemon pie

Across the wooden table her hand reached for mine

We went down to the river, fed the swans gliding by

Happy in our world, lovers passing time

I can still see her blue eyes

Hear her whisper I love you

As I close my eyes and wander Memory Avenue

I drink from her cup

Stare at her chair

The suns coming up

I wish she was here

I can still see her blue eyes

Hear her whisper I love you

As I close my eyes and wander Memory Avenue

Memory Avenue

She sleeps at friends, that lend her floors

Parking lot of a grocery store

She’s on the road, got in from Germany

Misses home and her family

In Europe she’s a rising star

Back in the states, she’s playing in a bar

Where half the people, don’t know her name

It’s an uphill climb so you can’t complain

Could it be her heart

Was broken from the start

Or is it just, another bruise

Another case of the highway blues

She’s met a lot of guys like you

Industry man slash buckaroo

Nods and smile, but really wants to leave

She knows you got something up your sleeve

And driving home with her sleepy eyes

The road she’s on lost its lines

She sips her coffee and pushes on

Man, all the things that could go wrong

And with luck, she’s home

But God she should have known

She could have been the headline news

Another case of the highway blues

Many times, she’s had enough

There were times when she just gave up

But then there is that other voice

That tells you there is no other choice

Doesn’t matter, who you are

Doesn’t matter if you’re a star

Doesn’t matter if you win or loose

You can’t escape, the highway blues

I hear the seagulls calling

While the ships pass through the bay

I’ve been swimming in these waters

To wash my thoughts away

I’ve seen rainbow coral reefs

Fish swim upstream

Last night I saw your silhouette

As I fell into my dream

I’ve kept my promise sacred

There’s a line I’ll never cross

My feelings haven’t faded

My love is still not lost

The summer heat is rising

The night sky won’t turn black

I’d feel more like myself again

If I knew you would come back

My mind can hardly focus

Every thought leads back to you

Some days are just hopeless

And I don’t know what to do

This year is filled with hardship

And we’ve both payed the cost

Thinking about how it could have slipped

But my love is still not lost

I fell in love with your laughter

Fell deep in your blue eyes

Each time I was with you

I was full of butterflies

I watch the glowing sunset

Golden embers cross the sky

I’d put my arms around you

If you were by my side

I hope there will come a day

When I’ll kiss your lips so soft

And we’ll overcome what is breaking us

And hope our love is still not lost

I hear the seagulls calling

While the ships pass through the bay

I’ve been swimming in these waters

To wash my thoughts away

I’ve seen rainbow coral reefs

Fish swim upstream

Last night I saw your silhouette

As I fell into my dream

I’ve kept my promise sacred

There’s a line I’ll never cross

My feelings haven’t faded

My love is still not lost

The summer heat is rising

The night sky won’t turn black

I’d feel more like myself again

If I knew you would come back

My mind can hardly focus

Every thought leads back to you

Some days are just hopeless

And I don’t know what to do

This year is filled with hardship

And we’ve both payed the cost

Thinking about how it could have slipped

But my love is still not lost

I fell in love with your laughter

Fell deep in your blue eyes

Each time I was with you

I was full of butterflies

I watch the glowing sunset

Golden embers cross the sky

I’d put my arms around you

If you were by my side

I hope there will come a day

When I’ll kiss your lips so soft

And we’ll overcome what is breaking us

And hope our love is still not lost
