If We Have the Time

standing at a microphone
without a melody to sing
someone that I used to know
makes my hands start shaking
waiting at the bar alone
staring at your bruised drink
crying out a lonely tone
words you'd never have to speak
you were the last one
to love me like a friend
to catch me lying
if we have the time
let's sleep on this tonight
when love is on the fence
let's wait for future tense
if we have the time
waiting by my telephone
hoping somehow it will ring
counting all my dying hopes
to know the promise I should keep
days spent in my empty home
no one talking to me
burning every second so
I should never have to think
you were the best one
I had to see you again
but I keep running
if we have the time
let's sleep on this tonight
when love is on the fence
let's wait for future tense
if we have the time
you had the best time
but you would never admit
sometimes I wish I
had never hit it
if we have the time
let's sleep on this tonight
when love is on the fence
let's wait for future tense
if we have the time

She Came From California

this girl's been stuck inside my head since I was seventeen
the kind that makes you fall in love but it's not what you need
now she's the beauty that you see up on the silver screen
doubt she'd remember ever spending any time with me
when we were young I was naive
but she knew what she was doing
I fell in love just like a dream
but she knew who she was fooling
she came from california, it never crossed my mind
they said I tried to warn ya, but it was summertime
I left my sense behind
I couldn't see the signals, she never left my side
but she was gone before I said my last goodbye
yeah then I was left behind
the first time she grabbed my hand walking down venice beach
we couldn't even walk the sand without burning our feet
she kissed me like I was a star lining those famous streets
my name's not on the boulevard, but I was living the dream
under the sun I felt the heat
but she didn't seem to notice
until the next time that we meet
I will hold her in that moment
she came from california, it never crossed my mind
they said I tried to warn ya, but it was summertime
I left my sense behind
I couldn't see the signals, she never left my side
but she was gone before I said my last goodbye
yeah then I was left behind
when you're up in the air
when you're up don't wanna come back down
no no no no
when you're up in the air
when you're up don't wanna come back down
when you're up in the air
when you're up don't wanna come back down
when you're up in the air
when you're up don't wanna come back down

Power Lines

caught you glancing over my way
no girl had looked at me like that before
even though I knew your name
we had some time to catch up
I know that you know I figured you out
took me a while but I got there somehow
conversations, mixed emotions
I made my move without a doubt
I get the feeling that we're playing in the power lines
we're wide awake way after midnight
make this moment electrified
we're wide awake way after midnight
don't be shy and don't be hasty
let's give into the time that we're wasting
moments like these we'll remember
though we doubt they will last forever
the taste of your lips, the beat of your heart
I feel you breathing when I breath out
we took it slow now I'll take you faster
don't fear the passion inside you now
I get the feeling that we're playing in the power lines
we're wide awake way after midnight
make this moment electrified
we're wide awake way after midnight
take it off, take it off, all off
take it off, take it off, all off
take it off, take it off, all off
take it off, ooooooohhhh
I get the feeling that we're playing in the power lines
we're wide awake way after midnight
make this moment electrified
we're wide awake way after midnight

Man Who Knows Best

you see a lifeboat coming, it ain't the only one that floats
you know you might stop sinking, if you just get up and row
hey, you wanna hit the ground running
aiming your loaded gun
wait, just who are you hunting
cause I'm just trying to have some fun
cause I'm the man who knows best
you're just another regret
you see a lifeboat coming, it ain't the only one that floats
you know you might stop sinking, if you just get up and row
hey, you wanna hit the ground running
aiming your loaded gun
wait, just who are you hunting
cause I'm just trying to have some fun
cause I'm the man who knows best
you're just another regret
you wanna be rescued and saved
pretend like you're tossed in the waves
you're just afraid to get wet
I know you're not lost at sea
just need to swim, just need to swim
looking for my sympathy, but I won't give in
I know I won't persuade you, no
but I'm not dying to save you, no no no
cause I'm just a man
I'm the man who knows best
you're just another regret
you wanna be rescued and saved
pretend like you're tossed in the waves
you're just afraid to get wet
