“Home”

 

She put her hand in mine

Drew me a valentine

I grabbed the check and fell in love

Some time down the line

Something was feeling right

So I lit the fuse and blew it up

 

You are where I want to be

Tell me do you want to try

To close the door to might have beens

and rest your head with mine

 

I want to go home

Let me go back, let me go back home again

I want to come home

Can we go back, can we go back home again

I want to come home

 

7 years passed us by

I can’t believe my eyes

You look the same as when we met

Yeah you were simple then

Dating another man

And I’m the reason that you left

 

So where do we go from here

Tell me can you read my mind

Are you thinking that the only view

That you want to see for your life is

when you come home

 

Let me go back, let me go back home again

I want to come home

Can we go back, can we go back home again

I want to come home

 

For crying out loud

For crying out loud again

For crying out loud

For crying out loud again

 

I just want to come home Yeah

I want to go home

Let me go back, let me go back home again

I want to come home

Can we go back, can we go back home again I want to come home

 

She put her hand in mine

I grabbed the check and fell in love

I want to come home

Yeah you were simple then Dating another man

And I’m the reason that you left

I want to go home

“Midwest Girl in the Summertime”

 

She had high heels and a bad reputation

She had the devil in the wink of her eye

When it comes to love there’s no reservation

She's been breaking hearts for most of her life

 

Well there's no doubt about it I'm in heaven

every time that she smiles

 

[Chorus]

She's got a party going on, Dancing in the lawn

All the windows up and the radio on

She's hotter than the 4th of July

She's got cut off jeans, Hair done right

Brighter than the stars on a Saturday night She's all good

It's alright, She's a Midwest girl in the summertime

(Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Midwest girl in the summertime

(Whoa-Oh-Oh)

 

 

She went dancing by the stars in the moonlight

Then she left before she said her goodbyes

Queen of the suburbs and the Naperville nightlife

She’s looking to show off for her ex's tonight

 

Now I said “No don't wake me”

I'll stay sleeping for the rest of my life

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

When we kiss I need more than this

The sweetness of her lips I need a candy fix

Oh girl, I hear the sugar when you call my name

Shut up and let the radio play

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

She's a Midwest girl in the summertime (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Midwest girl in the summertime (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

“If You Change Your Mind”

 

Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh

Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh Oh-Oh,

if you change your mind

(Hey, hey, hey)

 

90 miles an hour sitting shotgun singing

Feeling so alive by the city tonight

Whoa-Oh-Oh, It was you and I

 

Girl I know you’re sweet and I like my candy

I love taste of sugar but your heart seems heavy

Whoa-Oh-Oh, What’s on your mind

 

With the sun in our eyes Feeling so alive

All the windows up, A 7-hour drive

Calling out for air, Taking our lives

I heard you say, “Baby, baby just go!”

 

(Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

I thought I’d let you know (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

That I’ll be here, if you change your mind

Baby tonight (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

And after all this time (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

I’ll be here if you change your mind

 

She’s in Oklahoma with some church bells ringing

Found herself another who don’t mind her singing

Whoa-Oh-Oh, You say “It’s fine”

 

You’re starring down the barrel of a shotgun wedding

It’s hard to make it better when it’s just pretending

Whoa-Oh-Oh, You draw the line

 

I know you’ll be alright, Think of me sometimes

What it could have been, The summer of our lives

Every time I turn to tell you something

I think of how you told me, you told me to go

 

(Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh) Just so you know

(Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

That I’ll be here, if you change your mind

But I can’t let it go (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

After all this time (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

I’ll be here, if you change your mind

 

So think of me sometime when you’re alone

sitting shotgun singing

Thinking we were better than the life you’re living

It’s not too late to runaway

So wait for me and baby, baby let’s go

 

(Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

Just so you know (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

Yeah I’ll be here, if you change your mind

I miss you tonight (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

And after all this time (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

I’ll be here if you change your mind

But I can’t let it go (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

But I want you to know (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oo-Oh)

That I’ll be here if you change your mind

I’ll be here if you change your mind

“Forget About Me”

 

Hey

You took my heart and you broke it i swear,

broke it I swear you did

It took a while but now we’re getting somewhere,

getting somewhere with this

 

Dear, have you lost your mind

And what gives you the right

To forget about me

Forget about me

 

It took the devil just to do what you did,

do what you did to me

Another level of the hell that you give,

hell that you gave to me

 

I dare you to cross the line

And in your own sweet time

You’ll forget about me

Forget about me

 

I heard you’re doing fine

I guess you crossed my mind

Oh yeah

 

You’ll forget about me

Forget about me

“Beautiful Life”

 

Hey

(Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh)

(Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh)

 

I’ve got a question for you, girl

Do you think that you might agree To take a chance

and fall in love With a sentimental fool like me

Do you think that it’s okay

Do you think that I’m enough

Do you think that maybe we

Maybe we could be the ones

Who are running through the rain

Like in the movie scene

I know they’re 31, but they’re playing 17

Or do you think maybe we

 

[Chorus]

We get the beautiful life

(Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh)

We want the beautiful life

(Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh) (Whoa-Whoa-Oh)

We want the beautiful life

 

Now I’ve got nothing left to lose

I put the matches right to the fuse

I hit you up from time to time

Just to see if you had changed your mind

Do you like it when I call, yeah Does it make you smile

Do I ever cross your mind

Do you think of me sometimes

Or do you think maybe we

 

[Repeat Chorus]

•••••• LUMINOUS ••••••

“Always”

 

Hello, good to see you again

My God it’s been so long

Could it be you don’t need me anymore

I wonder what went wrong

I’m counting down by one Mississippi

Distance from your world to the city

I drew your name in the stars tonight

To find out where you are

 

[Chorus]

Always, I wonder what we could have been

No way, I’ll ever learn to live again

We set fire to the world and it tore us apart

What we are; who we were made a fool of your heart

Yeah, let’s try again and go back to the start

For now, ‘til then, for always

 

Oh, Think I lost you again

I scared you with my words

You don’t need or want to anymore

You’d rather hide than hurt

And so you just sit there fine looking pretty

Helpless, scared and making a killing

Selling what you have in life to make me smile again

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

(Whoa-Oh)

I think you knew right away (Whoa-Oh)

But you let it go for me to save (Whoa-Oh)

Take your time to figure out

What you need and what you want

and I will be there waiting

For always, I wonder what we could have been

No way, I’ll ever learn to live again

We set fire to the world and it tore us apart

What we are; who we were made a fool of your heart

Yeah, let’s try again and go back to the start

For now, I want for you to need me

And just say that you believe me

Now, ‘til then, for always

•••••• LUMINOUS ••••••

“Contact”

 

You’re willing, I’m ready

Your hands are unsteady

My life for this hour

Oh yeah

Your lips say you want it

They’re red and they’re taunting

Don’t stop me from caving

If I tell you to leave

Say you’re alright

Down on my knees

I think that there’s another way to save me

Just call me baby

 

[Chorus]

I can’t wait to see you;

I need a little contact Yeah,

I want it over and over again

I can’t wait to see you;

I need a little contact Yeah,

I want it over and over again

 

You pull me, Come closer

Don’t tell me it’s over

My heart is so ready

Oh yeah

Your hand inside mine

Your hair is entwined

I’m trying to shake this

If you don’t know what to say

I think it’s alright

I fall at your will

Until you find another way to save me

My little baby

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

I fall slowly Watching, waiting

Patience waning I think I’m in love (yeah)

I think we say it

But never state it Yeah, I can’t take it I think we’re in love

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

If you don’t know what to say

I think it’s alright

I fall at your will

Until you find another way to save me Yeah,

I want it over and over again

If I tell you to leave

Say you’re alright

Down on my knees

I think that there’s another way to save me Yeah,

I want it over and over again

“Eyes Wide Open”

 

Oh

No, you won’t ever be enough

To occupy all his love, For you

You

Oh you were better off as friends

His love is only just pretend

For you

 

And these words will break your silence

As you turn just to walk away

From what we both know is just the start of this

 

[Chorus]

Tell me with your eyes wide open

Does he love you madly

Tell me does his heart beat slowly

From the very thought of you

Does he want you badly

Does it kill you quickly

Tell me with your eyes wide open

Does it break the very heart of you tonight

 

You

You thought that you could change his mind

Like maybe he would fall in line

For you

No

No don’t ever apologize

We know that it’s just in time For you

 

No promises just words in vain

Here goes that one thought you hate

Maybe someone else will give him what he needs

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Oh-Oh-Whoa

 

[Repeat Chorus]

•••••• LUMINOUS ••••••

“S.O.S.”

 

I can’t sleep on this tonight

And I can’t bring you back to life

I wish I could but it’s the truth

Cancer took the best of you

But you gave one hell of a fight

I’m nobody’s fool

I know there’s nothing I can do

I see that you’re already gone

And I’ll learn to get along

Living without you

They gave you morphine to dream

I watched them take you from me

In a cold hospice room

I saw the last breath you drew

I’ve been a poet and a thief

I’ve been a liar and a cheat

I hurt the ones I dare to love

I chalk it up to just bad luck

But you saw the best in me

So it is and so it goes

Maybe further down the road

I’ll see a fire and a spark

You’ll be the light inside the dark

But I just can’t let this go

These words I hate to write

But I miss my dad tonight
