“(Prelude)”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
All the way back home
We held hands but your eyes they roamed
Guess I always knew
Just how easily I would bruise
I’ll play the lark and you play the muse

“Backtrack Back Yo Me”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
How did this start?
Oh where do I begin?
I’ve lost all my touch
And I cannot win
Why did we leave
Everything behind?
I know I am lost
But I am not blind
Falling apart
Another false start
Drifting away
I might be wrong
But I feel a pulse
Why can’t my heart just let it go
Come back now
Come back and see
When will we be together?
Come back now
Backtrack to me
Everything’s right
I feel you on me
But I cannot move
I cannot speak
So I’ll hold my breathe
And wait for this to
Come and go
Till i have you
All i’ve ever
Needed ever
Hearts been racing
Minds been chasing
What could I do?
How could I prove
What I need to?
So hold up now
I’m walking after you

“Caroline, Oh”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
It’s a slow ride
Out to see you
And I don’t feel right
When you’re away
Cause in the night when I’m sad and I can’t find my bubble
I’ve got my hands tied back and I think I’m in trouble
All I’ve ever waited for is
Love to come and find my door
Oh Caroline oh Carolina
Hold my hand, don't let me down
I will wait for you forever
So don’t be late
I can’t wait
So don’t be late
Is it alright
If I hold you?
Cause I can’t sleep tight
When you’re awake
Cause in the night when I’m tired and my life is in rubble
I've been gagged and bound and i think that it’s double, double trouble

“Elliott”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
What did I do
Falling in love again with you?
I know it’s not right
You told me to leave and I tried
But every night
I cast my dreams into the sky
Hoping to find
Fuel for the fight
Cause its you and it’s me
It’s all that I breathe
In and out without a clue
It just goes to show
How much I know
About loving you
Oh, It’s so hard
It’s so hard
Don’t know how I’ll get through / Guess I’ll have to make it through
Without you
You’ve got to be
The most beautiful thing
I’ve ever seen
I can’t believe it
And when you’re gone
I just cannot move along
I need your song
To keep me strong

“Friends & Lovers”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
Once upon a time we were friends
Falling in love wasn’t the plan
But something changed behind your smile
That made my whole life seem worthwhile
I want to know how it could be
That we could be friends but you couldn’t see
Oh, how I pined for you to say those words to me
“I’m Falling in love”
You’re more than a woman to me
I tried so many times to tell you so
I opened your doors and held you close
When you left without a word
You took I had and left me alone

Stop!

“Stop!”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
We met in lazy summer
Waiting for Autumn’s shade
Things seemed so perfect baby
Then bad decisions came
We fought and we yelled and said things
We didn’t mean to say
You did what you wanted baby
I cannot live that way
You're always first at running out
So come back baby
I want to talk but run my mouth
I know it’s not the way to go
You’re always saying something
While I’m away and running
Why can’t we Stop and work it out
Hold your tongue and listen honey
Things just aren’t working out
Don't say what you want to me
I cannot hear that now
No matter what’s going on and
No matter where we are
I know that we can make it
No matter where things fall

“Annie Oakley”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
I’m holding out
For something great to scream and shout
Like you go on and on about
Cause now how it stands
I am but merely half a man
With no backbone nor leg to stand
All at once the world stopped and you got off
Leaving me here with my thoughts to think
Say what you will but it cannot help me feel
Like this wasn't shoot to kill
Stumbling round
Making my way through this town
Building it up to burn it down
I need a push
But i can’t be in a rush
Lately that hasn’t done too much

Babylon

“Babylon”
Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
Always in motion
Don’t stop for no one
Fall down next to me
And hold me as one
I know i can see you
If i close my eyes
I’ll wait for your your kind heart
To tear me apart
Watching the world move
And hoping for sun
Hanging on lost words
Till my course is run
I once thought that life would be candy and fun
Oh how all these things came tumbling
The weight was to strong
I cannot hold up this tower
It was bound to fall
Fall down next to me
And hold me as one

Salvation Army

“Salvation Army”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
I called your name
In such despair
in such disdain
Looking up to the clouds
My words were clear
My tone was loud
Falling short and losing sleep
Take it slow don’t go too deep
Days come and go
But I was here
You weren’t alone
What this life was all about
To sift through
This pain and doubt
Falling up and down the stairs
With each step my mind impaired
Who’ve thought that that’d cause a glaze to stare?
Falling down in Heralds Square
I looked around but you weren’t there
I bowed my head and said a prayer and let it go
Hold on tight
Don’t give up
Don’t lose the fight
All the way I was there
I was the sun without the air
You’ll be fine no matter what
Just believe in what you’ve got
Just believe
I guess I’ll have to go alone
I guess I’ll make it on my own

“We Are The Easily Forgotten”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
We are the easily forgotten
The easily left behind
The ones that are forced to wonder what true love’s like
I know it will end just like before
With my heart ripped out on the floor
So hold fast, just know that you are not alone
Take hands and join together
Keep your heads up and walk along
Oh I tried, it doesn’t matter what I do
I can’t get my head around you
When I die I know exactly what’s in store
Save me a seat beside you
We’ll charge the cause for evermore
It might feel like conversation’s leaning to one side
Just put your ear to the ground and listen
I’ll be there with my soft voice
Screaming out, “You’re not alone now!”

“Something’s Going Wrong Again”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
Waking up’s so hard
Reluctantly I go to sleep
With open eyes and gnashing teeth
Crawling to my feet
Dragging every step I make
Leaving wreckage in my wake
If you pick me off the floor this time
And let me catch my breath
Something’s going wrong again
Someone’s heart won’t break it’s bent
On loving without any relent
Something’s going wrong
And everything is coming down on me
I’m not exactly
Who and where and what I said I want to be
I’ll cut myself again and again
if it makes you love me more
And when will my heart be true
I pray to be home with you

Shine On

“Shine On”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
I was born to open up my heart and let it all out
Which would be great if I could see the sun for the clouds
Feel the warmth that radiates from your arms and all around
I need to let my guard down this time
Everyone
Shine On
Grab your guns
And ride on
I want to fight this fight but I’m too scared
I know that I could make it if you were there
Guess i’ll really never understand what this was all about
The suspense drives me wild
To see it you have to believe
To believe you have to let it go
I know of that I’m sure

“Close Your Eyes And Dream”
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz
Close your eyes and count your sheep
Say your prayers it’s time for sleep
I know your heart is racing now
Just take a breath and let it out
Rest your head and rest your heart
Letting go’s the hardest part
I know your mind is racing now
Just take a breath and let it out
Just close your eyes and dream
