If You Touch
03:30

|||
Way back in school
I got up way before the sun
I got in trouble but I never told on anyone
Not even you
When you touched me with my hands tied
There were no words, I just cried
'Cause if you touch
If you touch a child, it dies
If you touch
If you touch a child, it cries
It cries, it cries
It dies
Way back in school
I never did anything I wanted to do
No one could ever have imagined
The secrets that I knew, like you
You took a hold of me like a dream
You held on 'til I screamed
"Cause if you touch
If you touch a child, it dies
If you touch
If you touch a child, it cries
It cries, it cries
It dies
Way back in school
Every day I wanted to die
And the only thing that I wanted
More than suicide was you
You see, you came for me when I was weak
Once there was silence then I could speak
'Cause if you touch
If you touch a child, it dies
If you touch
If you touch a child, it cries
It cries, it cries
It dies

Betrayed

Betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed
By the ones that I love the most
By the ones that I hold close
Said they'd never leave me
They'd watch out for my health
Did they think I could handle
This world by myself?
I was betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed
I was taken advantage of
By the ones that I hold above everyone else
But I guess I was wrong
To imagine that I could ever belong anywhere
That I could trust anybody to care
And lead me through the dark
Betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed and deserted
Should I give up
And decide that I've had enough
Should I turn off my heart
So I can forget about them
So I can make sure
I won't talk to them again
And never share what I would feel
If somebody was there

In the sun
We'll play the game
By the castle
It'll be the same
You changed my life
I play with you in mind
Has it been so long?
I will hear your song
And I know a song never dies
It remembers the violence in your eyes
What I know for sure is you'll go on
And I'll follow a memory
I'll follow a memory to a song
Your song
I want you
It seems like
I swim an ocean
Just to see you
Just to hear a voice
You know you saved my life
And now I'm standing in line
A new face I'd like to meet
An old face I'd like to see
I was eating donuts alone
And it dawned on me
I'd shot the future
As it had to be
So I looked down at the street
And I wished I'd seen you there
But I don't think you were around
I imagined you were lost
Asking for help from someone in the crowd
I want you
Oh I want you
Has it been so long?
I will hear your song

Star
You are such a beautiful star
So far away
Star
So far off in distant space
Remember the wish I made
Let this wish come true
This wish I have of turning 'round you
Still I feel your warmth from here
Sometimes I think you are near
Oh star
Star
You are alone in a blackened sky
You've flown so high
Star
Don't bother yourself
With my pointless dreams
Remember the wish I screamed aloud
If you could only hear me somehow
Let this dream come true
This dream I have of turning 'round you
Still I feel your warmth from here
Sometimes I think you are near
Oh star

You
It's you I love
No I'm not that tough guy you want
No I'm not that guy
But if you give me time
Or just gave me the time of day
I'd know what to say
I'd say:
I wanna tell you something, girl
I wanna tell you something, girl
We could be lovers
Or we could be friends
I really don't care
We could do anything
And we could have the world
If only you would be my girl
Be my girl
Please
Oh can't you see
Can't you see I'm lonely
Every night
Can't you hear me crying
And if you give me your number
Well, would you even answer if I called
I'd know what to say
I'd say:
I wanna tell you something, girl
I wanna tell you something, girl
We could be lovers
We could be friends
I really don't care
We could do anything
And we could have the world
If only you would be my girl
Please be my girl
And I'm pretty sure you don't know
What we could have
But I think about you all the time
Don't break my heart
Before you're even mine

Alexa
This is pitiful
I know what you're gonna think
But there's these tears I can't hide
Alexa
This is wonderful
I don't want to see you misled
There's these tears I've known, I've lost
They're kind
Alexa, I know
What I've seen before
I guess I'm trying to say this slow
To give all I've got
And find the years long gone
There's this choice I've made
And I've lost
To let go
Alexa
Take it as a sign
And I'll find the gift that's mine
Well, if you think I've still got time
Alexa
You see
Beautiful every way
There's these tears I've known, I've lost
It's okay
To give all I've got
And find the years long gone
I'll say it right in my own way
Yeah Alexa
You see
Beautiful every day
There's these tears I've known
And I've lost
But it's okay

Someday

You were never mine
But I have to keep trying
I have to keep crying
I'll have you in my grasp
And you'll be mine at last, forever
Someday
I walked so many times
To your haven I love
I was saving it all for you
The one I'll have
It's only a matter of time
That you'll be mine
Someday
I never knew it would take so long
I'm not a patient guy
But I'll wait forever
I will continue to try
I walked so many times
To your heaven I love
I was saving it all for you
The one I'll have
It's only a matter of time
That you'll be mine
Someday
Yes, you'll be mine someday

Breaking Bread
02:39

Sleeping below an apple tree
In the shade
A basket and a guitar
By our side
Our little brother flies a kite
For the sun we're bound
As our little world spins 'round
Far away from town
Everything is said
While we're breaking bread
And I don't know how to whistle
So I don't, oh no
We only sing and sing
And play those sweet guitars
Forevermore
Every chord rhymes with the whistling trees
Everything that needs to be told is said
While we're breaking bread

Orange Cat

If I show up
Don't let me in your door
'Cause I'm not like how I was before
I can't have you
Just leave me alone
To live alone, to die alone
And if you catch me in your house
Don't look me in my eyes
Just kick me out
If I can't have you
Leave me alone
To live alone and die alone
Die alone
I'm an Orange Cat
When you wake up tonight
And find me in your bed
Don't give into me again
I know that I can't have you
So just leave me alone
I'll live alone, I'll die alone
Die alone
I'll die alone

Writing a letter
To my best friend
The one who guides me through
If it's over
Just tell me
If it's over
Just say something
If it's the end
Let me hear your voice
Let me hear you
Please help me
By the phone
I'm waiting
With my phone
I'm waiting for you to call
Are you forever gone
I'm here
I'm dreaming about you
If it's over
Just tell me
If you hate me
Then I'm sorry
Is it that you're dead
Am I just a fool for not knowing
Please, I'm lonely
