Minnesota
...We came across our lost love
Like a dusty box of clothes
We tried them on for old times
But we both know
It's a textbook situation
Of love and letting go
How we reach out in the darkest hours
For what we once had
For what we once had known...

Figaro
Everybody's got a broken heart somewhere
Everybody wears a few chips on their shoulders
We're all trying to make things mend
So maybe someday we can have a happy ending
Like Figaro...

Dangerous Devotion
I think you are an ocean, but I dare not explore
I know that I'm better off here on the shore
When I look in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking
You think it's just fear
But I would only be a sinking ship
Just a sinking ship...
If I were an island or a continent
You would still be the Ocean
Mightier than all of it
And I would be a sinking ship...

57 Chevy
...You spent too long in nobody's care
And all those years lead you down
Into a deep disrepair
There were dreams that you had
About long drives into the evening
But this life hit you hard
But if you bring me your broken-down heart
I will my best to restart it...
* * *
Tainted Consolation
A giving soul bears a guilty heart
Forever asking 'have I done my part'
Takes not comfort from a real good start
Just a tainted consolation
Your love it was a heavy stone
That built me up and then knocked me down
At least now I know I'm better off alone
