ALMOST MELANCHOLY
(Spencer, Nakamura)

You say, “You’re already changing.  And I’m struggling to keep up.”
Thought that you saw me smile?  Must’ve been shadow play.

Sometimes there’s no way to know
Who to blame.

Seeming bit austere, but hey
You know you can’t believe a thing I say
At least not today.
Feel like wishing you away
You know you can’t believe a thing I say
At least not today.
Not today.
Break away.

Sometimes there’s no way to know
With you there’s nowhere to go.
Nowhere to go.

Remains of a fading passion
Exploited along the way.

You know you can’t believe a thing I say
At least not today.
Feel like wishing you away.
You know you can’t believe a thing I say
At least not today.
Not today.
Break away.

With you there’s nowhere to go.
Nowhere to go.

AND WHEN WE SAY GOODBYE
(Spencer, Nakamura)

Walked upon an unmarked road
Dimly lit by the light of the moon
Took a shortcut so well hidden
Counted trees along the way.

She knows the road leads nowhere
Never been one to change her mind.

Came upon a lonely soul
Filled with jealousy and pain
Looked a bit like my own shell
Couldn’t help but look away.

She’d rather be here than forgotten
Nowhere’s better than where she’s been.

When we say goodbye.

Came upon a lonely soul
Filled with honesty and faith
Couldn’t help but feel ashamed
At the promise left unkept.

When we say goodbye.

ANYTHING
(Spencer, Nakamura)

A wayward breeze whispers to her silently that nothing’s ever what it seems.
All she needs, eluding her, the irony that all she needs is anything.
She awakes from a dream where everyone, everyone is beautiful
Everyone is beautiful, and it stings a little every time, because everyone is beautiful.

Staring at the ceiling, clock on the wall says, clock on the wall says no one needs to know.
Staring at the ceiling, clock on the wall says, clock on the wall says no one needs to know.

No one needs to know.  No one needs to know.
No one needs to know.  No one needs to know.
Everyone is beautiful.

Hushed and still, reaches her hand carefully and takes the hand that’s offered her
She awakes from a dream where everyone, everyone is beautiful
Everyone is beautiful, it stings a little every time, because everyone is beautiful.

Staring at the ceiling, clock on the wall says, clock on the wall says no one needs to know.

Say anything.
Say anything.

AUTUMN SUNSHINE
(Spencer, Nakamura)

You take your place where the colors bleed through the canvas
Where the air tastes just like kiwi and passion.

Crazy, I feel tonight
Crazy, tonight.

You walked into my life, on an autumn afternoon
Like a burst of sunshine
Shining through to you.

Trying to keep both feet on the ground
This dizzy feeling, I can’t escape
Losing direction, craving reaction
Falling over you.

Crazy, I feel tonight
Crazy, tonight.

Trying to keep both feet on the ground
This dizzy feeling, I can’t escape
Losing direction, craving reaction
Falling over you.

Crazy, I feel tonight
Crazy, tonight.

You say to me this all could change some day.
And I thought to myself
Time is change.

BISCUITHEAD
(Spencer, Nakamura)

Left town thinking about you.
You could be my last regret.
My last regret.

I chased a ghost, as you lay there naked.  The taste of your temptation.
You fell away yesterday, left surrounded by the snow and a sensation.

Seems I found you out too late.
My world’s gone numb.
So numb.

I’ve seen the moonlight illuminate your iris.
I’ve seen the moonlight illuminate your iris.
So numb.

Left town thinking about you.
You could be my last regret.

I chased a ghost, as you lay there naked.  The taste of your temptation.
You fell away yesterday, left surrounded by the snow and a sensation.

I’ve seen the moonlight illuminate your iris.
I’ve seen the moonlight illuminate your iris.

DELILAH
(Spencer, Nakamura)

Within the walls of the temple where you took me for granted
You curse and you pray and it echoes the hall, but you’re on your own.
Candlelight flickers, you shiver, there’s a thunderstorm approaching fast
If you knew half of what I’ve figured out you’d change your name.
You danced as though nothing could fall.
You danced as though nothing could fall.
I could change your mind.

You wash your hands in a river that shimmers like silver
Vengeance burns trails in the water and vanishes into the void.
You walk away gracefully, counting each step as you go
Your footprints ingrained in the desert sand, you disappear.
You danced as though nothing could fall.
You danced as though nothing could fall.
I could change your
Pages with nothing to tell.
Pages with nothing to tell.
Pages with nothing to
Turning.

Angel calls your name
Angel calls your name
You danced as though nothing could fall.
You danced as though nothing could fall.
I could change your mind.
Pages with nothing to tell.
Pages with nothing to
Turning.

LIKE WATER
(Spencer, Nakamura)

Building Away on a turbulent shore
Watching the waves as they crash and they roll
Watching the waves as they crash and they roll
Watching for the next big wave.

Watching for the next big wave.

Sculpted a life under terms all your own
Watch as your walls now are washed to the sea
Fell for the girl with the saccharin smile
Knock, knock, knock, at the door.

Knock, knock, knock, at the door.

Shaken off your rhythm, you
Resign to happenstance
Holding and holding and you’re
Hard as glass but you
Move like water.

Know damn well that she’s never going to be
Never going to be what you wanted her to be
Never going to be what you wanted her to be
She’s got her own set of sails.

She’s got her own set of sails.

Shaken off your rhythm, you
Resign to happenstance
Holding and holding and you’re
Hard as glass but you
Move like water.

Intentions turn to falling leaves
The leaves, they turn to tangerine
Reflections in a waking dream
Lead you to an illicit stream.

Shaken off your rhythm, you
Resign to happenstance
Holding and holding and you’re
Hard as glass but you
Move like water.

NEAR DUSK
(Spencer, Nakamura)

You look so radiant today.
Maybe
When I fall apart
I will change my mind.
Change my mind.
Would you stay
If only for tonight?

You look so confident these days.
Maybe
When we fall apart
You will change your stance.
Change your stance.
Circumstance
Runs deeper than you know.

If we come up short
If we come up short
Know that it’s nobody’s fault.

You look so radiant today.
Maybe

TED B'S WISH

<Instrumental>

WALK
(Spencer, Nakamura)

He quits mid-step to collect his thoughts
Disillusioned by the absence of another face.

He feels her grace
But he can’t reach that far
If it exists at all.
Stepping onto no mans land
Unarmed.
Stepping onto no mans land.

He scans where the ocean meets the sun
Takes a picture of her poetry in black and white.

He feels her plight
But he can’t reach that far
If it exists at all.

Steals a moment, screams out
Four years gone, a forgotten name.
All falls silent, shaking
Watches as her figment fades.

Stepping onto no mans land
Unarmed.
Stepping onto no mans land.
