Dropping Daylight Lyrics
Answering Our Prayers Picture a fire, built by desire Hoping the world is not…
Apologies On and on we carry on. We turn off and turn…
Blame Me What does it take to satisfy your Need for someone to…
Brace Yourself Feels like my head is waking up, Releasing from the bonds…
Lucy I've had more than my share of Girlfriends, and don't ever…
Soliloquy Let's go! I want to be a spiritual person I want to…
Take A Photograph On the phone Its handle's hot from messages you left Asking …
Tell Me Called the race Tell me it's over now I cannot stand to…
Till You Feel Something If I?m Away From you Long enough To make You…
Waiting Through the Afternoon Contagious Like the rhythm of a record through my mind Pla…
War Song The heat here makes me want to leave, Take a shot…
