Every Moment 03:42
Verse 1: Why did everything with you fall apart time and time again when I’ve loved you right from the start Hook: Every moment without you is another moment wasted Every moment I live without you is another moment wasted Chorus: Yeah how bout no more broken hearts Hey how bout cherishing these moments and how how bout returning all the love yeah before your moments gone before your moments gone Verse 2: My life with you just didn’t work out Though I gave my all still it just wasn’t enough Hook: Every moment without you is another moment wasted Every moment I live without you is another moment wasted Chorus: Yeah how bout no more broken hearts Hey how bout cherishing these moments and how how bout returning all the love yeah before your moments gone Bridge: How did this thing manifest how did this mess get so big And how will I conquer this How’d it get to be like this after just one moment Chorus: Yeah how bout no more broken hearts Hey how bout cherishing these moments and how how bout returning all the love yeah before your moments gone before your moments gone

Verse 1: I wish I could hold you in my arms I live for you When I’m weak you make me strong No you don’t know it Oh how I want you forever in my life Listen to me I want you Chorus: I’m what you make me It’s a fatal attraction Verse 2: My life is wrapped around your finger only you can make me feel this way Please don’t hurt me no more Everything you do affects me I really can’t explain it Chorus: I’m what you make me It’s a fatal attraction Bridge: I wish I had you in my life ‘stead of these playas givin’ bad advice sayin’ you ain’t no good, you’re not nice but I know they’re wrong ‘cause I like who I like Yo I sing this song to you my friend I wish we could be more than that I’ll wait ‘till the day comes then I’ll have you in my arms Yo people say that you’ll hurt me But I just want you to be with me I need your love I need your love Chorus: I’m what you make me It’s a fatal attraction Verse 3: Everything you do It hurts me to see you play around Even though your not mine I want you I’d do anything for you I love you You don’t want to see it Chorus: I’m what you make me It’s a fatal attraction The End: Give ‘em hope some people just weren’t meant to be Give ‘em hope I know it hurts and it fucking stings Give ‘em hope Goes to show that you can move on Give ‘em hope You think you can’t it’s an illusion Give ‘em hope I was so obsessed by myself Give ‘em hope I couldn’t think of anything else Give ‘em hope Here it is a few years later Give ‘em hope I don’t ever think of that player

Verse 1: I would always call you when I was running late And I never expected from you the same thing I didn’t believe you when you’d say you loved me And I guess the proof in that is that I’m still alone today Chorus: One day I thought that you’d call me sweetheart I felt that one day you’d appreciate my art I had faith at one point you’d know how I feel Because you my dear would feel it too Verse 2: I always dreamed about you every single night Even though you never thought about me when you were awake I’ll admit maybe I tried too hard to make you love me And I guess the proof in that is that you’re with him today Chorus: One day I thought that you’d call me sweetheart I felt that one day you’d appreciate my art I had faith at one point you’d know how I feel Because you my dear would feel it too Bridge: I know now that I was wrong You never did feel it too Chorus: One day I thought that you’d call me sweetheart I felt that one day you’d appreciate my art I had faith at one point you’d know how I feel Because you my dear would feel it too

Here & There 03:24
Verse 1: I still live every day the same Almost like you didn’t even mean a thing Now that you’re gone I say nothing else has changed I still live like I did yesterday Hook: It’s like you aren’t here like you were never there like when you were still here even then you just weren’t there It’s like you aren’t here like you were never there like when you were still here even then you just weren’t there Chorus: I know that you’re no longer near But it doesn’t mean I don’t still feel you here Verse 2: I’m still here and I haven’t changed Found a love who wanted me to stay the same I’d be alone forever that’s what you would say But my lover loves me and he’s here to stay Hook: It’s like you aren’t here like you were never there like when you were still here even then you just weren’t there It’s like you aren’t here like you were never there like when you were still here even then you just weren’t there Chorus: I know that you’re no longer near But it doesn’t mean I don’t still feel you here Bridge: I wanna know what book you got all your lines from I wanna know where you claim to have got your wisdom Chorus: I know that you’re no longer near But it doesn’t mean I don’t still feel you here Chorus: I know that you’re no longer near But it doesn’t mean I don’t still feel you here

Verse 1: Why did you leave Why did you go Why didn’t you seek out Someone who knows Hook 2: How tough it can be When you feel so alone And when things look so bleak You just gotta know Chorus: Always keep your head up You have got to stay strong It’ll be okay And when the walls close in around you You’ve got to remember It’ll be okay And to never ever give up Even when you want to It’ll be okay And when you feel like you are cornered You’ve got to brace yourself It’ll be okay Verse 2: Just look at me I too was alone But I hung in there And let myself know Hook 2: How good life could be If you don’t look around Or hear people speak While they’re putting you down Chorus: Always keep your head up You have got to stay strong It’ll be okay And when the walls close in around you You’ve got to remember It’ll be okay And to never ever give up Even when you want to It’ll be okay And when you feel like you are cornered You’ve got to brace yourself It’ll be okay Chorus: Always keep your head up You have got to stay strong It’ll be okay And when the walls close in around you You’ve got to remember It’ll be okay And to never ever give up Even when you want to It’ll be okay And when you feel like you are cornered You’ve got to brace yourself It’ll be okay Chorus: Always keep your head up You have got to stay strong It’ll be okay And when the walls close in around you You’ve got to remember It’ll be okay And to never ever give up Even when you want to It’ll be okay And when you feel like you are cornered You’ve got to brace yourself It’ll be okay

about

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
