Lyrics for "The Spring Thing" IF I TOLD YOU What if I told you I was tired of staying up late of being wired With all of this energy no place to go but to you And what if I told you I was through With all of the pain I ever knew That my heart was opening wide just for you CHORUS Would you run? Would you hide? Would you hold me? Please could you try?  Would you make this confusion go away? If I told you? Then what if I told you I was weak From all the warm fuzzies pulsing through me That all my passions have no place to be but with you And what if I told you I was scared to death of the intimacy that we've shared Without a touch it's been so much more than enough   CHORUS Would you run? Would you hide? Would you hold me? Please could you try?  Would you smile? Would you laugh? Would it change the freedom we have now? Would it make this confusion go away? If I told you? THE EARTH & SKY Casual garbage floating away It won’t be the last you see and hear of it today eyes shut tightly won’t block out All of the ugliness we try so hard not to recognize We try so hard to not recognize CHORUS And it seems the earth and sky have met To talk it out and you can bet that They won’t waste time They won’t waste time They won’t waste time Like you and I Shrugging indifference is far worse than What we have turned our backs on Is sure to haunt us in our homes One day will haunt us in our homes CHORUS BRIDGE My isn’t it such a sad shame? That the earth and sky Have been forced to close in Understand this - there is just one earth We have been given We should be treating it like gold Cause’ there’s no other place to go CHORUS BENEATH HER SMILE He knows that he's given up all that he has lost But stays immobilized with confusion and fear Beneath her smile her heart is numb hands can't stop shaking While she does all she can to hold on CHORUS She says come to me in a few years After you've lived and learned enough about yourself That you can love honestly He thinks about her every minute of every day But stays silent - he can't tell her or push her away Beneath her smile her heart is numb  hands can't stop shaking While she does all she can to let go CHORUS She says come to me in a few years After you've lived and learned enough about yourself That you can love honestly Maybe I'll be here maybe I won't Life offers no guarantees but there's always hope That's what I live on everyday He grows weary of all the pushing and pulling inside he feels In an instant  he belongs to her, though he knows it's just not real And beneath her smile her heart is still numb But her hands have stopped shaking For her, there's relief in goodbye CHORUS HELPLESS Running falling tripping calling to you Screaming yelling asking begging you Listening hurting yearning to help you CHORUS But you have to want to help yourself You have to want to help yourself Waiting pacing hating chasing you Crashing ripping tearing lashing at you Fighting crying wishing dying to help you BRIDGE I've done all I can I've cried I've given myself I've tried to see inside your mind I've put all judgment aside The anger is gone, but your pain is still mine Oh how you can hurt the ones you love When you hurt yourself running falling tripping calling to you Screaming yelling asking begging you Listening hurting yearning to help you But you have to want to help yourself You have to want to help yourself You have to want to help yourself You have to want....help You have to want... TRAPPED Some say I’m crazy You work much too hard Find a nice boy and settle down With that you can’t go wrong But I’d feel trapped in a world where I don’t belong Some say I’m stupid Oh that foolish pride It’ll knock you six feet under But I say, “it’s all that keeps me alive” When I feel trapped in a world where I don’t belong Where I don’t belong CHORUS I’ll go on this way without understanding No need to bleed from it anymore My dreams won’t stay trapped in anyone’s logical mind Some say I’m stubborn Too strong for my own good Oh but my heart reaches higher than theirs ever could Cause I won’t stay trapped in a world where I don’t belong CHORUS PIECES I picked up the pieces when you went away And now there’s really nothing more left for me to say I’ve found another place where I’m okay CHORUS This world can be scary when you stand alone This world can be scary when you stand alone Your eyes still shine but now I see that shadow I think it’s sad that your hearts gone hollow and you can’t see The answer’s not waiting with me CHORUS This world can be scary when you stand alone sometimes and now you can see This world can be scary when you stand alone your answers not with me Now I pick up the pieces every time things go wrong Cause i discovered that part of me that’s strong and I can get along without you FAMILIAR He looks at me and smiles and says it's been awhile We sit down to coffee and plenty of talking Though his eyes were persuading, his body is obeying The cordiality between him and me You see, we were once a pair, now I'm here and he's there And I'm not quite sure why He's still so familiar to me CHORUS Then he looked at me - he looked at me and said, "When you finally forget about all that you're missing You don't really need it anymore But seeing you makes me remember how familiar You always were to me" You might think this is cute and neat Oh, they're still in love, how sweet But it's not what it seems, no it's rather annoying to me See he's still got this problem with his heart and mine it won't start for anybody else cause' He's still so familar to me CHORUS When he looks at me and smiles I remember all the times He made my heart sing such a sweet and pretty tune I could fall yeah - if he asked - and if he left I'd take him back Over and over cause,  he's still so familiar Oh he looks so familar He is so darn familiar to me CHORUS ONE DEEP BREATH I’m out of passion I lost my passion It’s out of fashion - It tore right through me Nearly knocked me down then it’s gone What does love mean? Where is love seen? I seem to miss it maybe I’ll find it If I learn to read between the lines Even when the days make no sense to me I’m blinded by my own defeat One deep breath can bring the life back into me One deep breath brings me peace I’m out of hope now I’ve lost all hope and Sometimes it happens I fall down hard and It hurts too much to get up alone Do you know me? I don’t know me What do I know it’s nothing I can’t see If I’m strong enough to believe CHORUS I’m out of luck, well when did my luck run? I wasn’t looking right from beyond the eyes I use to see Cause it’s all hazy, maybe I’m crazy Or just too lazy and tired to fight it anymore I just give in CHORUS THE WHOLE POINT IS... I may not have a plan for tomorrow Some think that’s bad I thought so too until I realized that’s all I ever had So if that’s bad Then I’ve been bad my whole life I don’t think so CHORUS You see the whole point is that things work out and I’m doing okay from day to day The whole point is that things work out and I’m doing okay from day to day My family they’re all bright and successful too I think they worry Oh I wish there was something I could do But when I ask them They want some things I can’t give Guarantees for my future CHORUS
