Til I’m Gone I’ve been racking my brain. Trying to figure something To make me irresistible to you. I’m trying so hard, Waving my arms and Runnin round in circles, When I’m just a glass you look right through. That seems to be the way it is. That seems to be my lot in life. I might as well turn and face the fact that I was wrong. Cause you won’t see me til I’m gone. You’re two days late. I’m one year early. So tell me what am I supposed to think? My bags are packed, the cab is crammed, And the meter’s burning And in you’re walking with my drink. That seems to be the way it is. That seems to be my lot in life. I might as well turn and face the fact that I was wrong. Cause you won’t see me til I’m gone. It’s more than just not being on the same page; I don’t know what book you’re reading. And that’s the way it is. It seems to be my lot in life. I might as well turn and face the fact and lose the fiction. Cause you won’t see me til I’m gone. And that’s the way it is. That seems to be my lot in life. I might as well turn and face the fact that I was wrong. Cause you won’t see me til I’m gone.

Didn’t take very long Til I’m running for the exit door. Brave New World with eyes wide open. Nothing is as I had dreamed it’d be. Brave New World with eyes wide open. And I can’t go back to sleep. I’m gonna think a little harder Before I jump into the fire. Got my ammunition, My makeup, and my shiny toys. And I’m off to charm school Where I’ll learn to play with all the boys. Brave New World with eyes wide open. Nothing is as I had dreamed it’d be. Brave New World with eyes wide open. And I can’t go back to sleep. I’m gonna think a little longer Before I jump into the fire. Brave New World with eyes wide open. Nothing is as I had dreamed it’d be. Brave New World with eyes wide open. And I can’t go back to sleep. I’m gonna think a little harder. Written by Kristin Dare, Tim Calhoun, Joel Perry, and Tim Horsley Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley Keys – Dan Rudin BACK TO TOP My Own Star Here we go again, Looking at all my imperfection. I can’t seem to win. When did I ask for a competition? I don’t know. But I think I’ll go my way Even if the odds are fading. It’s all I know, and I will not be Leaning on you so far. If you look, you will find me Wishing on my own star. There’s a precious thing Living inside my hearts desire. And you can’t take away what I have not given, Even if I’m only dreaming. It’s all I know, and I will not be Leaning on you so far. If you look, you will find me Wishing on my own star. I’ve got to follow my own heart. (And I will follow.) I’ve got to see this thing for myself. (And I will see.) And I know I will not be Leaning on you so far. If you look, you will find me Wishing on my own. There’s a place deep inside me That longs to be where you are. But I choose, I choose to be free. Wishing on my own star. Written by Kristin Dare and Tim Calhoun Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums, loops – Tim Horsley BACK TO TOP This is My Song I feel a little crazy. Time to make a change. Time to throw away stuff, And to rearrange. The path of least resistance Is where I want to be. I want to go the distance, But there’s so much I can’t see. I will step out on faith. Go where it takes. Hope for the best. And let God sort out the rest. This is my song. I remember what you told me Back in zero-four. Nobody’s gonna take my hand And lead me through the door. When the world gets crazy, Stop and count to ten. Gotta shake the dirt off, Get up, and start again. I will step out on faith. Go where it takes. Hope for the best. And let God sort out the rest. This is my song. And I don’t know where I’ll end up. And there are no guarantees. But I will follow my heart. And that’s the best place to be. I will step out on faith. Go where it takes. Hope for the best. And let God sort out the rest. This is my song. Written by Kristin Dare, Tim Calhoun, Joel Perry, and Tim Horsley Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley Keys – Jonathan BACK TO TOP Being Beautiful Cover the headlines. Cover your eyes. Look in the mirror. Where everything is clear. Don’t need nothing. Nor do you give Thoughts or money, Moments or tears. No, I will spend my time Being beautiful. I will spend my time Being beautiful. Study the TV, Or a magazine. How will you play Reality today? Going nowhere You just walk by. Without a care Or question why. I will spend my time Being beautiful. I will spend my time Being beautiful. The world could go to hell, And I won’t notice Cause I’m looking at myself. No, I don’t want to cry. Don’t want to feel. Don’t want to try. I will spend my time Being beautiful. I will spend my time Being beautiful. You can only watch the war For so long. I will spend my time Being beautiful. I will spend my time Being beautiful. Written by Kristin Dare, Tim Calhoun, Joel Perry, and Tim Horsley Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley BACK TO TOP Give Me What I Want Interesting. Interesting. Watching you work so hard to figure me out. I’ll tell you one thing Cause time is wasting. Hear me so there isn’t any doubt. All you gotta do is give me what I want And I won’t let you down. All you gotta do is give me what I need And I won’t turn around. All you gotta do is everything I please I tell ya, it’s so easy. Oh, no, I’m not difficult. Just give me what I want. What’s with that face? Aren’t you happy? I’m just trying to make it easier on you. You know you’re lucky. You should be smiling. You found someone to tell you all the truth. All you gotta do is give me what I want And I won’t let you down. All you gotta do is give me what I need And I won’t turn around. All you gotta do is everything I please I tell ya, it’s so easy. Oh, no, I’m not difficult. Just give me what I want. All your love and all your money. That’s just the first step, honey. If you don’t want to lose yourself, You best go find someone else. All you gotta do is give me what I want And I won’t let you down. All you gotta do is give me what I need And I won’t turn around. All you gotta do is everything I please I tell ya, it’s so easy. Oh, no, I’m not difficult. Just give me what I want. Give me what I want. Written by Kristin Dare and Tim Calhoun Lead Vocals – Kristin Guitar – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley Keys – Jonathan Trombones – Roy Agee Background Vocals – Lorraine Morrison BACK TO TOP One Up on Me I will answer every time you call. I will reach out every time you fall. But something’s missing Inside of my heart. And I’ll let you think you ended this. I’ll let you think you don’t need a thing. And you’ll go your way one up on me. Cause that’s what you need to believe. That’s what you need to believe. You will swallow your pride one day. And you will want me back, like in old ways. And I will follow Until you grow cold. And I’ll let you think you ended this. I’ll let you think you don’t need a thing. And you’ll go your way one up on me. Cause that’s what you need to believe. That’s what you need to believe. I can take Everything you dish out. And you’ll never know. That I don’t feel the same. No, I don’t feel the same anymore. I’ll let you think you ended this. I’ll let you think you don’t need a thing. And you’ll go your way one up on me. I’ll let you think you ended this. I’ll let you think you don’t need a thing. And you’ll go your way one up on me. Cause that’s what you need to believe. That’s what you need. Written by Kristin Dare, Tim Horsley, Tim Calhoun, and Joel Perry Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley BACK TO TOP Song to God (Sometimes I Fall) How long will I want What I cannot have? Will you tell me? Life can be so good And get so bad In the same week. I want to be thankful. And sometimes I am. I want to be grateful. And sometimes I am. And sometimes I fall. Sometimes I fall. Will you be around When I fall down? I know what I should, Still I play the game. When will I learn? No matter what I do, You will never change. You will not turn. I want to believe you. And sometimes I do. I want so much to please you. And sometimes I do. And sometimes I fall. Sometimes I fall. Will you be around When I fall? There’s a hole inside Tonight. And I can’t make It right. Will you be around When I fall? And sometimes I fall. Sometimes I fall. Will you be around When I fall down? Written by Kristin Dare Vocals – Kristin Guitars – Tim Calhoun Bass – Joel Perry Drums – Tim Horsley BACK TO TOP Anything This is scarier than anything I’ve been through yet. This is crazier than all of my PMS. I am numb inside, no fragrance no emotion. I can’t even seem to well up my devotion. But I can choose my life And I chose to be with you. So I won’t dwell too long On what I’m going through. Cause I don’t feel like Anything, anything at all. I don’t feel Anything, anything. Oh no. Maybe I should just consider this a blessing. Take a break from all the drama and confessing. I should use this time to gather my momentum. So I can spill it out next time I throw a tantrum. I should revel in What I don’t feel inside. But I think that I will Find a place to hide. Cause I don’t feel like Anything, anything at all. I don’t feel Anything, anything. Oh no. I’m gonna sit this one out. I’m gonna wait this one out. I’m gonna sit this one out. Cause I don’t feel like Anything, anything at all. I don’t feel anything, Anything at all. I don’t feel like Anything, anything at all. I don’t feel Anything.
