All I Want 03:38
Through the door I see your face Your dark skin glows Your eyes look my way My feet feel frozen Your sight takes my life away For just a moment For just a moment You're all I want We say, "Hello." Then I walk by you and go To my new home The place where I'm all alone And sleep alone And wake to alarms alone And drink alone And breath for no one You're all I want A regret When I first saw you I said "She'll hate me No, she could not love me I bet." That's why I walked by And watched my feet hit the sidewalk I hope I, could one day see you You're all I want You're all I want She's all I want She's all I want

Juke Box 03:24
They got this Juke Box playing all night At this party Fifth street and Ninth I'm sick and tired of staying inside So I grab my wallet and coat And I go So many cars are lined up outside And not a parking space is in sight Thank God there's weed And the beer is on ice Let's grab those papers And get these joins rolled Yeah let's get stoned Time flies Time to get high No more watching your paint dry I scuffed my favorite speakers walking outside I almost fell right into a fight And then that girl she gave me the eyes Four hours later we were tossing off our clothes I'm pretty sure we locked the door Time flies Time to get high No more watching your paint dry No more pain baby No longer to complain My head is floating I feel like I'm in space
3.
Holy Note 04:20
You say I want you But tomorrow's got you We'll I say everyday you got it I grab and kiss you To touch and please you My fingers on your legs start rising You want it there (oh) You want it there You want it 'til you sing your Holy Note You want it there (oh) You want it there You want it 'til you sing your Holy Note While I sing my Holy Note While we feed our flesh and bones As we feel our sorrows go As we sing our Holy Note The morning after It starts with laughter We smile and your eyes Start shimmering We brush then breakfast Then back to sex 'cause We've got no work today No nothing I hope this sits well I pull your pig tails You say, "Oh, baby, harder take me!" The friction inching, girl I feel your tension How can I be sure I'm not dreaming? Come inside baby Take a ride baby Don't you know that I want to baby girl Come inside baby Take a ride baby Don't you know that I want you baby girl The Bangkok Bike Crew Is out to get you You shoulda never stole there money I will protect you I play with swords too And if I don't at least I tried babe
4.
Kiss You 03:29
I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe I wanna hold you late into the night I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe That's why I drag my car all through the night I call my friends up None of them have woken What makes true love Is it a bond that Can't be broken I need your love That's why tonight That's why tonight I am racing For at the finish line I know you're there I know you're waiting I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe I wanna hold you late into the night I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe That's why I drag my car all through the night Guns burst tires burn The smoke it start to billow Now it's my turn Here's my shot Here's my only window I speed up floor it Pedal to the metal One half mile Then you'll be mine Open my door then grab you I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe I wanna hold you late into the night I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe That's why I drag my car all through the night I see the white line Your hair waving behind it I feel so alive Oh girl I want you It's blurred to my sides But you're clear in sight And now the leads mine tonight I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe I wanna hold you late into the night I wanna kiss you babe I wanna kiss you babe That's why I drag my car all through the night

I wake up in the morning to you Pillows on the floor You move in bed around you All your blankets wave and flow Where I come from that's just a part of it My loneliness is good For if I layed in bed beside you Or reminded you of love You'd slow motion on I wake up in the morning to you Playing your guitar I feel the air around me As I stare into the darkness Of the hallway that surrounds us As you echo down the hall And your vibrations go forever Only hit me for a moment Then slow motion on I wake up I wake up I wake up in the morning to an emtpty room and no no note from you explaining How it pained but you had to go Where I come from that's just a part of it You're here and then you're gone You just pick up right when you want to Tie your bag to stick and run And slow motion on You packed in ice you roll your pupils For one night the fog it spilled to Blur your eyes and make you see me As I write you, pleased to see you I wake up in the morning To my bookshelves on the floor The whisky that I clung to Isn't pouring anymore Where I come from that's just a part of it My loneliness is good For if I ran and finally caught you I don't know what I would do

Home 04:26
If our love was so strong Then were'd it go love Because our ending seemed rushed Through the crowded streets love I walk around I walk around I walk around I walk around All around I'm looking for you, Come back home Your skin felt so soft As I teared your clothes off Girl, remember when we dodged the cops In the car that we were steaming up I walk around I walk around I walk around I walk around All around I'm searching for you Come back home I'm calling out your name girl Oh why'd you have to go, why'd you have to go? You're making a mistake girl Oh baby come on home, oh baby come on home It's a love you couldn't shape girl Oh why'd you have to go, why'd you have to go? No I just can't fucking shake it Oh baby come on home We used to dinner and show Now I'm going in alone Oh how we'll pay the rent Oh baby we'll figure it out then Oh baby come back home
7.
Molly 04:08
Molly I'll take you home First I wanna dance babe And I don't wanna dance alone I said Molly I'll take you home Light your cigarette a glow And baby let's get on the floor Girl I want your love Can never get enough And all I want is there out waiting on the dance floor All I want is there out beating on the dance floor All I want is, all I want is Molly I'll take you home But first I wanna feel your heart beat Beat to the beat of this song What's all the rush to go? We've got time to hit the sheets girl But first let's dance next to the speakers 'til they close Until they say last call I wanna feel you all over And all I want is there out waiting on the dance floor All I want is there out beating on the dance floor All I want is, all I want is Do you remember in the street When we made love? Oh darling will it ever be The way it was? Or am I chasing a dream That never comes? Oh darling it hurts to think Let's dance it off because And all I want is there out waiting on the dance floor All I want is there out beating on the dance floor All I want is, all I want is (On the dance floor, on the dance floor baby)
8.
You grabbed a hold When we kissed in the alley Then you let me go Once you saw that you had me Your auburn eyes Under moonlight are glistening Oh the sound love makes Is heard if you're listening The same goes for you You're selfish too The calico truth I dreamed up for you The record skips You undress and kiss me Between your hips Drips sweeter than honey You should have left Me right where you found me I'm broke as fuck And your love needed buying Look what you did and still do You're selfish too What you already knew I whispered to you Through and through I've paid my dues I swear to you I'm there for you To catch when you need to be catched You jump in and take off your dress The water goes up to our chests No one else knows what this is A game of chess, My shadow death Plays me I play my best But one day he'll Check mate me All the ones You love Tell them I Love you Love your Enemies too Or your hate it will Consume you
9.
Why you sitting so far away from me? A million miles away from me Tomorrow comes no matter what choices I make And that's why I continue to stay exactly where I'm at Why you standing so far away from me? Is it because you're afraid of me? Well I haven't seen you for so many years And I haven't touched you for so many years And baby darlin' your love, your love It turns me on Can you see me when you're so far away from me? Can you hear me when you're so far away from me? Well I know you love me so why can't you say? And I know you love me so why can't you say? And baby darlin' my love, my love It turns you on Yeah when the leaves were changing It didn't mean a thing when the leaves were changing. It didn't mean a thing to me

Back In Love 03:35
Picking up All the back pages From where we left We drive my car although My heater's broken Grab some coffee and I'm lost in your eyes We park along A sea of automobiles No lights are on Except the city ones And the stars up above I don't care because I'm lost in your eyes Back in love Please don't go Back in love Please don't go Back in Love Please don't go I drop you off Then you invite me in So I go where you are We're on your couch The blankets flow to the the floor I hold your hand and then I'm lost in your eyes. It's four o'clock The yellow flowers Look so bright in the dark I say I've missed you and I've longed for your love I kiss your lips and then I'm lost in your eyes Back in love Please don't go Back in love Please don't go Back in Love Please don't go I touch your hair as I hold you You breathe the air as I hold you Whisper slowly as I hold you Say you need me as I hold you Back in love Please don't go Back in love Please don't go Back in Love Please don't go
