waiting for the day that everything I've wanted finally comes my way through memories that we've made then you walk on out the door saying don't come round no more and I question what its for and where we've come feeling it today is it really worth it, how we play these games? lessons learned again but I know i'll find the truth cause it's worth it all for you telling everyone I see you're with me wait until the moment you see her there is something in her that does not lie wait until the moment you see her there is something in her you can't deny wake up early in the morning cup of juice, cup of coffee, cup of tea it doesn't matter- if it's got caffeine then it gets me out the door showered, now i'm hitting the town chasing down a song i've got to sing and it makes me want you more wonder if its worth my time worth the reason or the rhyme too rare to refuse wonder if you change your mind will you decide to then be mine and pass on the news? wait until the moment you see her there is something in her that does not lie wait until the moment you see her there is something in her you can't deny

the wait and see will probably be the death of me oh, jealousy don't really wanna talk about it when I come, up seeing you creepin' you should be sleeping tight coming home late, been out with your friends dressed for a candle light always saying you're too busy but whats that got to do with me? making excuse, your love is ruthless, it leaves me paralyzed pleasure or pain, never the same, scandaled and vandalized you make it hard to keep an open mind. the wait and see will probably be the death of me oh, jealousy don't really wanna talk about it i gave everything that I could my love saved every penny I could my love, for you I slaved and I suffered for you, my love but still every gesture was not enough ----wombaticus rex------ holding on to these lonely songs because it's all we know like love em, lose em, watch em go it's nothing new to rock and roll the sticky in-between that we live in breath is something different though the rhythms slower got us drifting closer like it isn't over ain't saying that I struggle with it baby girl, I love your visits but still believe, that if you stick with me that's just a dumb decision so no complaining, no bellyaching or saying it's never sunny but we've been split up for an easy six months and I see you still come in my bed, it's funny take what you get wait for the text and stay for the second serving she trained me to fetch, made me a threat then made me a better person that's nothing but words now love that I burned down wasn't my finest moment never could change it heavy to face it but i still try and own it now how're we supposed to heal up until the point that we know for real that its over? that's why we both need some serious closure so I'm staying tuned to the waiting room ok, its true-- I admit it But I figure there's worse ways to die then wasting time with beautiful women

Oh you make me weak so that i can hardly speak and im ok with that less certain is the fact the way you make me feel like crap then walk away again. ask a penny for my thoughts, then you took a couple more decide my money's no good and you throw it on the floor and tell me no hard feelings as your fingers clutch the knob upon the door so what do you say to the one that walked away? and what do you say to the one that walked away? and what do you say to the one that walked away? Bye bye bye bye bye..... Oh you make me weak so that I can hardly speak and thats become a curse cause every time i get ahead i swear that you may strike me dead or maybe worse lend a sympathetic ear and set yourself up for defeat rationalize the situation till your throats too sore to speak twist my words into a mound of dirt and tell me its my turn to sweep

Dropped to my shoulder like a ball of led heavy on the corner of my body and shit cant help but hit the fan from time to time its said and i've got no vested interest in blowing but i guess it could have been across the head instead sing halelujia, amen! Assess the scenario with softly spoken flow a murmur made to gesture at the will good men impose but fuck it if that will should leave me unfulfilled Is there no common ground, between the action and the sound or am I just missing the point? Dropped to my shoulder like a ball of led leaving me with no other oppinion then that which leaves you ill in stomach and in will the wonders never cease to leave their mark felt.

Baby Doll 04:13
Baby Doll when you put your love on the window to cool configure itself theres no doubt that some fortunate derelict should cruise along and have off with it Baby doll i know a mistake when I see it and you swear you've nothing to hide so I confide that criticisms on my tounge taste of bitter cinnamon with the sugar on the side Babydoll you make it too damn easy and i should know better but I'll play the fool again, cause baby doll is smarter you say you'll never leave me then lead me to slaughter i pray you'll take it easy cause loving you is murder so baby doll chances are if you're still listenin then you know im the forgiving type but if you've got one thin shred of decency then you'll do your best to humor me and close your windows tight my baby doll, baby doll.

Three Views 03:45
And thats one way of looking into the other end of a spectrum we can look at to seek and dissect love they tell me how it grows and of the things it knows and of the wind which blows the dust in spiralled cones its shape is uniform delicate tendriled form and mends a soul thats torn revamped and thus reborn it aims to desecrate you elevate then deflate you and leave you in the state to push what you couldn't pull through the lies are luminary you lose the will to carry the burden you can't bury reshelved and left to worry but worst of all in lacking the passion or the pain which should make the life worth living the balance act thats giving you reason to seek changes or rearrange the stages without the realization your love's now lost and vacant

Got A Way 05:30
you treat me anything but fair at all yet shadows pass us and the night it falls and you've got a magic that is yours alone- which leaves me talking in a dulcet tone you know a smarter man would play it cool but so much easier to say then do cause saying might convince a passerby but in the face of love i can not lie chorus So damn the consequences and the hurt Ill take what comes and wear it like a shirt and on the sleeve the words "my heart" will stay cause baby girl you know you've got a way v2 you make it hard to just forget the past when every moment feels just like the last is there nostalgia in the present tense and afterglow before and after then? so where to take this urge to satisfy and to remind you of exactly why i talk in tongues whenever you're around because i'm humbled by the luck i've found chorus be it tomorrow or another time defying doubt and things I can't define i'll feel the same then as I do today cause baby girl you know you've got a way
