(Prelude) 00:54
“(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
2.
“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
3.
Caroline, Oh 03:28
“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
4.
Elliott 03:40
“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
5.
“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
6.
Stop! 03:09
“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
7.
Annie Oakley 03:14
“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
8.
Babylon 03:40
“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
9.
“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
10.
“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!”
11.
“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
12.
Shine On 02:39
“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
13.
“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
