Track Name: The Days
The Days

I wink my eye as you pass by
so you know I know you know.
Cigarette burns slowly and
there's plenty more to go.
We laugh, drink - it's hard to think
these times could ever end.
When they do I'll be glad that you
were here with me, my friend.

These are the days that we'll look back on and say
"Those were the days."
These are the days that we'll look back on and say
"Yeah, those were the days."
These are the days that we'll look back on and say
"Honey, those were the days."
These are the days that we'll look back on and say
"Those were the days."

With great delight we take big bites
'cuz life's a tasty treat.
You're dancing like a solipsist
I'm drinking whisky neat.
Feel so great we radiate
grins from ear to ear.
The world's aglow. It's shimmering -
a phosphorescent sphere.

<chorus>

When we're with each other
life feels complete.
We cherish every moment.
We relish every beat.
It's in the air, love's everywhere.
It feels just like a dream.
Happiness and laughter keep on
flowing like a stream.

<chorus>
Track Name: Inches Away
Inches Away

You don't know what it's like.
What you've done, all you've taken away.
When I ask you, what's gone wrong
Girl it seems like you've got nothing to say.
Why don't you tell me

Why don't you want me to -
to make sweet love to you?
Why don't you want me to -
to make sweet love to you?

You don't know what you've done,
Or how it feels to be just inches away.
Too feel so unwanted,
and haunted by the dreams of yesterday.
Come on and tell me

<chor>

All I want is
Is for things to be
The way they were
The way there were, the way they were, the way they were
Come on and tell me.....

<chor>
Track Name: What It Was
What It Was

You can stay,
but I won't kiss you.
You can leave,
but I won't miss you.
You're looking oh so sad.
Babydoll, that's just too bad.
It ain't what it was anymore.
It ain't what it was anymore.

I won't play - the games you're playin'.
I'm not sayin' - i'm just sayin'.
You scream you beg you cry, but
babe you're wastin precious time.
It ain't what it was anymore,
and it never really was before.

You can stay.......
but I won't kiss you.
You can leave,
but I won't miss you.
You're looking oh so sad, but
babydoll, that's just too bad 'cause
it ain't what it was anymore.
(no it ain't, no it ain't no it ain't)
It ain't what it was anymore.
(no it ain't, no it ain't no it ain't)
It ain't what it was anymore,
(no it ain't, no it ain't no it ain't)
and it never really was before.
Track Name: Haunt
Haunt

Doesn't it seem
You're living in a dream?
Think you've passed all it
You've seen the last of it.
For months you've tried
You know you lied and lied
To yourself, but no one else believed it.

No matter what you say
You know there ain't no way.
You dodge it day by day,
But you can't quite slip away.
In your bed you will lay
Until you're old and gray -
Try to keep it at bay,
But it always comes back to haunt you.
To torment and taunt you.


Through the day
You push it far away.
Try not to think of it.
Go out and drink, forget.
For months you've tried.
You know you've cried and cried
To yourself, but no one else was listening.

You're not an exception.
You never have kept it out.
It never has quite has left.
On your mind every breath,
In your dreams while you slept,
'Cause it's down in your depths
You've just got to accept -
It always comes back to haunt you.
To torment and taunt you.
Track Name: Let It Go
Let It Go

Why should anybody care
who's putting what in who else's where?
Why can't everybody see?
All this stressin' 'bout your ex - that ain't no way to be
Why don't everybody know
it's so much better when you just let it go?
Why don't anybody think
before they get all twisted up and pushed to the brink?

Cuz all this jealousy and hatred
at the end of a relationship
ain't doing nobody no good.
Instead of spreading animosity
try love and generosity.
Ooh baby... LET IT GO!

I bet you don't even know
-just how far you planned to lose control.
Slow down - take a big step back.
Think of what you ought to do before you react.
It takes ten times the energy to hate,
to walk around with anger, to carry that weight,
than let go - say "that's life. c'est la vie."
say "I hope they find somebody kind
since it didn't work with me"

Cuz all this jealousy and hatred
at the end of a relationship
ain't doing nobody no good.
Instead of spreading animosity
try love and generosity.
Ooh baby... LET IT GO!
Track Name: Good Enough Alone
Good Enough Alone

I fear tonight
that something's not quite right, and I
think i might
have just let myself go a little past the limit.
I don't know
how far I planned to let it go, or why
even though
I can see the evil why i've got to got to live it.

I can't leave good enough alone.
I can't leave good enough alone.

I look inside
can't find a place to hide. Now I
lost my pride
stripped down naked to the bottom of my bottom.
They tell me
"you gotta slow down" but I can't see how I
could agree.
If they can't understand me then i'll just live without 'em.

I can't leave good enough alone.
I can't leave good enough, I just can't leave good enough.
I can't leave good enough alone.
Seems i can't leave good enough alone.
