All I Need is You
I could sit in the darkness in the daytime
There was nothing I couldn’t resolve
I could wrap up the truth and keep it covered
There were riddles that no one could solve
I was up to nothing good and
You were there by mistake
Pulled my head up off the wood
For goodness sake
All I need right now is you, babe
You’re all that I want, babe
All I need is you
It was easy to soak it for a weekend
It was harder to pack up the pain
It was simple to walk out to the beachhead
Standing solo again and again
No one cared or understood it
No one bothered to ask
Some things make you want to hide
Behind a mask
All I need right now is you, babe
You’re all that I want, babe
All I need is you
It was cold in my neighbor’s apartment
He was gone for a couple of days
Then I discovered a secret compartment
And stayed for a while in the maze
You came in and made me better
Than I thought I could be
It’s been nice to have you standing next to me
All I need right now is you, babe
You’re all that I want, babe

Get You Off My Mind
When it's dark in the holy land
I don't need you to hold my hand
Come and see my mid-century and lock your self away
From this hill I can see it all
Change the station from wonderwall
She's the friend 'til the end who's always gone by yesterday
I can do anything I want
I can do anything I try
I can do anything but Get You Off My Mind
Drive the car on the canyon roads
Pump it up 'til it overloads
Late at night there's a light ahead that takes my thoughts away
There's a scene playing in my head
And regret lying in my bed
Take apart what I start and it will get me clear again
I can do anything I want
I can do anything I try
I can do anything but Get You Off My Mind
Take what you like
What you like is the only thing
I can do anything I want
I can do anything I try
I can do anything but Get You Off My Mind

Don’t Let It Go To Your Head
You swing harder than I ever did
And you’re way smarter than I am, kid
You succeed where I fail
Persevere when I bail
Sometimes you make me flip my lid
So, Don’t let it go to your head
But I love you
Your songs fill up the house every day
You always manage to get your own way
You leave nothing inside
And my heart swells with pride
And you always always have something to say
So, Don’t let it go to your head
But I love you
You do so many things I adore
And you leave all of your things on the floor
You have stolen my wife
But you brighten my life
And sometimes I’m shaken to my core
So, Don’t let it go to your head
But I love you

I Can’t Stop
In ‘55 they built from nothing, this house of cards concealing something
And now you’re hiding out from me
A school of fish that gives you cancer, you shook them off like a belly dancer
And now you’ve gotten rid of me
And I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you, baby my
Mind goes “pop” and I’m doing it again
I can’t stop and you’re driving me crazy
Gotta find a way to lose you, or I’ll never win
You looked too sad to be Italian, you called my friends the dim batallion
My deal was sealed at 12:09
It felt so strange, it took forever. You said you’re dangerously put together
And I was hooked upon your line
And I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you, baby my
Mind goes “pop” and I’m doing it again
I can’t stop and you’re driving me crazy
Gotta find a way to lose you, or I’ll never win
The rusted cans in greenish water, I came to see. A lamb to slaughter
You could have had me anytime.
Pull up the rug and draw the curtain. Just like a drug I knew for certain
That I’m the last thing on your mind
And I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you, baby my
Mind goes “pop” and I’m doing it again
I can’t stop and you’re driving me crazy
Gotta find a way to lose you, or I’ll never win

Slow Dancing
The lease on this car is almost expired
It’s good transportation but it’s old and it’s tired
I treated her badly and took her for granted
And there’s dents on the passenger side
I drive to the west side where under the lights
He’s playing the songs that keep me up at night
He’s telling our story, I’m not sure how he knows it
But there’s memories inside every line
Yeah, there’s memories inside every line
We should be Slow Dancing
But I’m standing here alone tonight
I love this song, and I know it’s your favorite
All the time that we’ve lost, I’m beginning to crave it
He plays like it’s simple, he sings like it’s easy
And the future is weighing on my mind
Yeah the future is weighing on my mind
We should be Slow Dancing
But I’m standing here alone tonight
I like the way he blends the lyric with the tune
I’d sing it to the moon, but something tell me
I’m gonna be alone soon
Back to the house, the freeway gets slower
There’s a woman at home that I don’t even now
We used to be lovers but now it’s a mystery
But I’m trying hard to figure it out
Yeah I’m trying hard to figure it out
We should be Slow Dancing
But I’m standing here alone tonight
