I remember holding you close by my side, having many feelings that I knew I had to hide, one
last glimpse of you through the window I saw you fading fast away, later on I couldn't help wondering if you were okay, I
thought I'd be content, but instead I just thought of the time we spent, everywhere I looked around I just hoped that you
weren't down,
Chorus: Ever since you went away, you went away
It's kind of strange
how things can change, I wondered how life would go on, thinking of you being gone, I stood there wondering what had happened,
I was anxious to have some time alone, but instead thought of you traveling further away from home, it was time to clear any
doubt, being on my own, I had to figure it out,
Chorus: Ever since you went away, you went away
At first it was hard to sleep, any dreams I had I couldn't keep, I'd start to dream that you were there, but woke
up and couldn't find you anywhere, visions of you in my head, you were there lying on the bed, but again it was plain to see,
it was oh, oh so empty, I didn't think out of sight, out of mind, I was so glad when I called and you said that you were fine,
Chorus: Ever since you went away, you went away
ANSWER
I have
yet to find, possibilities I sit and think about, I look around me and I can see where I have my doubts, like all the things
that keep you up at night, I feel so tired, can barely start the day, constant thoughts of a better way, but do I really know
yet to make a choice, something now, hopefully later I won't regret,
Chorus: I have yet to find, find
an answer, when it comes to you, when you think about us
I have yet to find, I always wonder what could
be for you and me, I often think that I'm way to decisive, because maybe I should know how I want to live, sometimes I just
think it would be better if someone would think for me, but then I wonder how, how good could that be, I know there shouldn't
be so much confusion, it's not a revolution, to figure out where to go, there has to be a solution,
Chorus:
I have yet to find, find an answer, when it comes to you, when you think about us
DREAM
It's amazing how I sit and think, oh the mind with it's powers, I think of real and unreal dreams, I can sit and
think for hours, you can have nothing but have something when you get inside your mind, it's a great way to take the strain
away and just unwind, I ask myself do others do what I do, I know some who say I don't think that way, but it doesn't mean
that they don't dream, but might not have the time, or just take the time to have all the crazy thoughts like mine, being
different isn't bad it's just a way to have a good time,
Chorus: It's so nice to be so deep in a state
of mind, to lose track of yourself as all of time goes by, when I dream about you
Many years go by so
fast, making the memories last when I can, over and over there are times, I forget so easily who I am, ever since I was young,
a day dreamer and a believer in peace, escaping from the world in thought in an alternate reality, how can you describe the
mind I don't even know, it's like a gate that opens to everything that's great and lets life flow, what do want to do with
your life is what I used to hear, don't mention that question anymore is now what I say, now I have no more fear, I do what
I like every day,
Chorus: It's so nice to be so deep in a state of mind, to lose track of yourself as
all of time goes by, when I dream about you
It's amazing what I can remember, about the past, but forget
what I did last, even days, hours, minutes, or seconds ago, seems like nothing now is important to know, what have I done
with my life so far, it's amazing where we are, just looking back even a year, did you think that we would be here, a chance
to experience life in the finest, is put to the test when you don't feel you're at your best, but you know deep inside you
tried, there are better days, look at the sky and realize how small we are with every star is another sun, then you know now
you're not the only one,
Chorus: It's so nice to be so deep in a state of mind, to lose track of yourself
as all of time goes by, when I dream about you
WHEN I LOOK
Day by day,
watching you grow up and change in every way, it only seems like a while ago, you were small enough to hold, I always look
ahead and wonder what will happen, what will you be like then, I know the world can be unfair and cruel, I just hope everything
works out for you, but I have no worries,
Chorus: When I look into your eyes, everything changes, I have
no more worries, everything's okay
When I sit and watch you laugh and play, it takes me back to the day
when simple things made me happy in every way, I just hope nothing unforeseen, will ever get into the way of your dreams,
I know how much you mean to me, soon enough we'll see, how it all works out, but I have no doubt,
Chorus:
When I look into your eyes, everything changes, I have no more worries,
When I look at you, no more thoughts
are blue, oh the smile on your face, makes the world a better place, when I look, when I look into your eyes,
Chorus:
When I look into your eyes, everything changes, I have no more worries, everything's okay
FAR
AWAY
I think of the reasons why you left, I know there's things I've said that I regret, if I could go
back and make a change for the better, I know I would, but you know, I question everything so much, it's so hard to tell you
anything good, I try and try to get through, but can't ever get to you,
Chorus: What has ever become of
you, haven't heard from you in days, and you're so far away, cause I feel it now, when you're so far away
Now
I wonder how life would be, to float around, so careless and free, but could I ever face the way that I've shamed you, you
know it's true, I know you want something different, and I always want the best for you, would I hold myself together, if
you were gone forever,
Chorus: What has ever become of you, I miss you calling me everyday, cause I feel
it now, now you're so far away
TELL ME
I woke up this morning after having
a traumatic dream, you were there in front of me, as real as can be, I was ready to talk to you and then you weren't there,
it was just really a bizarre nightmare, it's so strange, how everything is disarranged, cause I want you here, but then I
fear that you and I won't live free,
Chorus: Why can't anyone ever tell me, cause I gave up, just tell
me what to do, so I can rest
Everyday I look in the mirror, I have to wonder how I ended up here, every
time I think of life, does it mean you value having a child and wife, you know it's true I do, but I'm so set in my ways to
let it show through, it doesn't help to say I'm sorry, is there something amiss with you or me,
Chorus:
why can't anyone ever tell me, cause I gave up, just tell me what to do, so I can rest
Now everything
that I've come to love, has been taken away, I keep on hoping you come back soon some day, but no need to rush, I want to
make you mine, but I can't make up my mind,
Chorus: Why can't anyone ever tell me, cause I gave up, just
tell me what to do, so I can rest
ALONE
Just another ordinary day, nothing
new and exciting seems to ever come your way, you always stay busy, just to be okay, but how can I, how can I explain the
pain you feel inside, it's enough to make anyone want to run and hide, but when nothing goes your way, who will be there that
night,
Chorus: Have you ever been alone, have you ever dreamed of someone else's touch, have you ever
prayed of someone to come your way
Do you look for someone that shares the same point of view, or do you
just want someone to be close to you, someone who is there and always cares, but how can I, how can I explain how great it
is when you finally find, someone who feels the same, then it's kind of strange, when you end up forever changed,
Chorus: Have you ever been alone, have you ever dreamed of someone else's touch, have you ever prayed of someone
to come your way
Sometimes you may want to give up all hope and say, that I don't need anyone in my life
anyway, but you never know, sometime soon you'll never be alone,
Chorus: Have you ever been alone, have
you ever dreamed of someone else's touch, have you ever prayed of someone to come your way, have you ever prayed, for someone
to love
YOU
Forever holding on to the memories of the past, making depression
last, how could I keep on holding on to the shame and the blame always for my fame, but you know how much it means to me,
having everything in this world for us to experience and see, to live up what most people can't, hope you understand, that
to be a man, is a provider, an insider and an outsider of every situation to always know what's going on, to help fix what's
going wrong, right now you run through my mind every day, knowing there's nothing I can do or say to change the way that I
pushed you aside, now feelings I just can't hide forever, knowing we're not together, sometimes it really hurts inside, other
times I just let it slide, seems to me everything around I see, is just a reminder, a memory, but I always knew someday you
may go away forever, but now you're gone, I keep going on like nothing's wrong,
Chorus: Everything I
do, do you know it's true I think about you, no matter what you say anyway it's okay everyday you're always in my thoughts
to stay, every time that I find that you're on my mind, all of life is pushed behind
I really know I had
it all and let it go and deeply hurt you, never meant to desert you, but my obsession for more and more time put everything
else behind, wanting to unwind, desire to become higher, to escape to a place to erase all in life that doesn't come easy
to be free, I know lots of times we had our fun, I always knew you were the one, but way to often had so much doubt, just
having our differences, I didn't think there was any way that we could work it out, I didn't know what I was thinking at the
time when you were mine, had no reason to act the way I did when you insisted and persisted what I should want for us, but
felt like no love existed, now I just think what I'm going through, what did I do, now I just stare at the pictures of you
on the wall, just a reminder of back when I had it all, just going through the motions of the day, ever since you went away,
I'm sure in time I'll wonder how long, I'll hold on to this fantasy of mine, but no matter what you do or say, I've made up
my mind today, even if you're away, you'll always be in my heart to stay,
Chorus: Everything I do, do
you know it's true I think about you, no matter what you say anyway it's okay everyday you're always in my thoughts to stay,
every time that I find that you're on my mind, all of life is pushed behind
Remembering back to the times,
when I would talk to you in your sleep, listening to all your secrets within your dreams you'd keep, it was then that I could
work everything through a peaceful way to talk to you, but now all I can do when I want you, is to sleep and dream, dream
of you,
Chorus: Everything I do, do you know it's true I think about you, no matter what you say anyway
it's okay everyday you're always in my thoughts to stay, every time that I find that you're on my mind, all of life is pushed
behind
PANCAKE LOVE
Pouring in the batter, watching it splatter, it reminds
me of when you use to ask me what was the matter, cause back in the days I'd always take things so personally, that I felt
like I could shatter, so as the batter pours into the pan, I firm up to become a real man, but I'm just a pancake, what does
that mean, it's nothing I'd ever seen, how does a man turn into a pancake for goodness sake, well, over the years I built
up to many fears and hid them far away to revisit another day, but in the mean time I could of made you mine, but I let my
emotions go flat, what do you think about that, I just said that last line cause it rhymed and I needed more lyrics for the
first verse, okay, fine, now I'm just and object you might want to reject, throw in the garbage disposal and forget, but I
hope with you I can still confide, cause I think I'm still warm inside,
Chorus: I'm just a pancake, in
love with you, please butter me up, and add your syrup to, cause you know it's true, without you I'm very plain
I burn easy, but I'm not fat and greasy, but you have to get me before I get cold, it doesn't take long for me to
get old, yeah I'm quite a bit thinner, but I swear I'll be good for breakfast lunch and dinner, if you were mine I'd be good
to you all the time, but don't try to warm me up to fast cause I just won't last, I need depth and understanding and no demanding,
if I'm microwaved I can't be saved, well, I guess I really wouldn't be destroyed, but that method shouldn't be employed all
the time, cause I think, riding an emotional roller coaster is just a crime, it's best when the batter is fresh and I firm
up in the pan to become a real man, while still being warm inside, not just a flat thing worth only two cents, where someone
could step on me and it wouldn't make a difference, I know I should taste good alone, but I don't without you here with me
at home,
Chorus: I'm just a pancake, in love with you, without your sweetness, I'm so tasteless, I became
so lonely when you told me you'd rather have rolls for breakfast
Mr. Doughboy, I will find you for sure,
so you better run you son of a gun, the fun has just begun, especially when I pop that belly of yours and listen to it go,
hmm, hmm
Chorus: I'm just a pancake, in love with you, please butter me up, and add your syrup to, without
your sweetness, I'm so tasteless, without a heart or brain, without you I'd go insane, without you I'm very plain
I'm just a plain pancake, that's all I am, just waiting in the pan for you
DOG
I come home late at night and the house is a mess, I have to wonder then who did this I can only guess, he looks
at me, as innocent as can be, I talk to him like he understands, but then I feel like a fool, but since he's so darn cute,
I can't lose my cool, cause,
Chorus: He's my dog, he chews on my feet but he's not mean, dog, when I drop
food, he keeps the floor clean, and I have to say, that I love in every way
He makes a lot of noise and
tears up all his toys, every time I go to bed he's trying to chew the hair right off my head, it's a sight to be seen, when
he picks a fight with the washing machine, when he finally settles down, then he's nowhere to be found, until about an hour
later, he's in the refrigerator,
Chorus: Dog, I can't believe what he gets into, dog, he filled my contact
case with glue, even though now I'm blind, I don't mind, cause I use him as a seeing eye dog
He'll scratch
like he has a disease, but oh no, he's just full of fleas, he can't even go a week without a bath, cause he will reek, everyday
he goes bizerk, when I get ready to go to work, he'll run around and knock the bird cage down and then the birds go flying
around, then before I know it, he's torn up everything I've owned, you'd think by now that he would be disowned, but oh no,
no, cause,
Chorus: He's my dog, I just put up with him, dog, cause I know we'll always be together, he's
mans best friend, he'll be my friend, friend forever, he's my dog, people will ask me how much is that dog, that doggie in
the window, the one with the waggle tail, I say no he's not for sale, if what I just said was copyright infringement, you
can sue and I wouldn't care, cause my dog is always there to defend me, dog
DUCT TAPE
It's time for duct tape, you can wrap it around your chest to make a vest, don't be afraid have no fear, you can
even make a push up brazier, if your clothes are getting to much wear and tare, patch some holes and make a new pair of underwear,
if you're to overcome with doubt, just wrap it around with the sticky side out, then you won't be the laughing stock of the
town, because the tape won't let the pants fall down, you can use it anyway you choose it, tape your head on if you think
you're going to lose it,
Chorus: Duct tape, duct tape, put it to the test and then soon you'll find it
is the best
Not the right time, or the right place, use it to cover the zits on your face and if for some
reason you don't like it, just pull of the tape to remove the zit, you can use it just like Nair, apply and remove to get
rid of leg hair, you can even make a dress, then enter a beauty contest, you can make cheap Christmas ornaments or add some
tape to preserve your condiments, with duct tape you can never go to far, you can even use it to fix your car,
Chorus: Duct tape, duct tape, put it to the test and then soon you'll find it is the best
If
you got a water pipe that leaks, apply some tape and it will last for weeks, if you have a leaky gas line, just apply some
tape and it will be fine, if the smell of gas comes back don't escape, just apply a little more duct tape, with duct tape
you can do anything you want to, the uses are endless, let the rest be up to you,
Chorus: Duct tape,
duct tape, put it to the test and then soon you'll find it is the best
WRECKED
One
day something changed me profoundly for the rest of my life, as I woke up and I came to, I took a look, couldn't believe what
I'd lived through, although I find it quite strange, what I'm about to tell you is very true, I got into a car accident and
I got crunched up in the car and I got bashed in a place where no man would want to be hit, I bet you know exactly where that
was, just by the sound of my voice, I'll have to tell you, just to let you know, that it's not funny, unless you can make
money, making songs just like this, well I, am trying to cope with embarrassment, all around so much harassment, trying to
find my place in society, just as well as keeping my sanity,
Chorus: Nothing will ever be the same, everything
is forever changed
I was riding along, in my car, it’s kind of funny, I didn't get very
far, what an interesting sight that was and yet so strange to me, how my car got wrapped up around that tree, it's a day I'll
never forget, as I got crunched up in the car, and I got bashed in a place where no man would want to be hit, in a place where
no man would want to be hit, it's not funny, unless you can make money, making songs just like this, well I, am trying to
find my place in society, just as well as keeping my sanity, my life is filled with to much turmoil, I might as well just
boil in oil,
Chorus: Nothing will ever be the same, everything is forever changed
