love keeps me alive
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
cold rain closes in on me
a thin skin, and it's 22 degrees
the king pin snaps his whip on me
this sad world, it just won't let me be
but you, you are my medicine
yeah, yeah you, you make it good again
your love keeps me alive
your love keeps me alive
low tide, everything exposed
inside out, oh I got no clothes
I'm crying, what's the point to this?
life line, into the abyss
yeah that's you, you are my submarine
you catch me, take me up again.
your love keeps me alive
your love keeps me alive
don't let go tonight
your love keeps me alive
your medicine's alright
but you, you are my medicine
yeah, yeah you, you make it good again
jagged love
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
I'm guilty of the dishes and you're
trying to make it stick
I'm choking on your words you got me
thinking that i'm sick
been riding on you sea-saw and now
I can't feel my dick
what the fuck
trippin on your jagged love
funny how our future playes out in a sink
busted up emotions they sit around and stink
suddenly it's over, it happens while you blink
what the fuck
trippin on your jagged love
you can't bring me down
trippin on your jagged love
cause I've hit the ground
trippin on your jagged love
and I won't stick around
trippin on your jagged love
so you want to argue? I got nothing to explain
I'm just gonna watch this thing go down the drain
Nothing I can do, cause I don't feel a thing
and I wish you luck
trippin on your jagged love
I'm not sayin that it's all your fault
I'm just trippin on your jagged love
crying is done
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
there you go feelin low crying
thinking if and or whether
what we had before all that hit
was strong enough top stay together
will I be with you
when the crying is done
the hours creep through the week turning
every single word over
who said what? Where was up, where was down?
somehow the meaning got lost
now Iım missin you
and the crying is done
I still feel for you baby
and the crying is done
Iım looking for you
no matter what went wrong at the bottom of the ocean, where are you?
letıs come on up for air and stop fighting with the motion of the blue
I fell in love with you again tonight
now my crying is done
you and me got to be crazy thinking
if and or whether
all the love that we had went away
come on letıs get back together
I see clearly now
that the crying is done
and I wanna be with you baby
the crying is done
oh Iım looking for you
high noon breakdown
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
call it love, and if you like
say we're one somewhere inside
quote a book that set you straight
you say it' clear to me now
you and me, will always be
soul of one to share the way
so you say and close your eyes
and it's clear to me now
I've got a high noon break down
I'm stuck in myself and the world keeps calling
deep blue melt down
what is the point? I just keep on falling
high noon break down
loosing the day
what was it you said?
all the things you call your life
your house and truck, your pretty wife
and the you who runs the show
all are games of your mind
so I try to melt it away
I close my eyes and look for the way
but all I see is a bloody mess
there's no help for me now
I'm stuck in myself and the world keeps calling
deep blue melt down
what is the point? I just keep on falling
high noon break down
loosing the day
what was it you said?
what am I, nuts?
I know it's only in my mind. oh yeah
I'm just another body down the line, oh yeah
Nothing is wrong, everything is fine, oh yeah
I just got to get out, get me out of my mind
But what about time? What about Time?
I've got a high noon break down
I'm stuck in myself and the world keeps calling
deep blue melt down
what is the point? I just keep on falling
high noon break down
loosing the day
what was it you said?
north dakota
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
you don't want to know
how everything has turned
how hard my heart got burned
since you went back to North Dakota
you don't want to know
the pathetic lies of hope
that kept this boy afloat
you don't wanna know and that's not why I wrote ya
I want to let you know
that I still got your box
there's a manual and some sox
and some dust
And I don't wan't these things around
take what is yours
take all that your love has left behind
just take it away
take what could have been out of my mind
and take to the grave
the promise of children, children
and take for the road
this song away from me
you don't want to know
I know this box by heart
I've taken it apart
and myself like a million times now
I wanna let you know
I'm tired of this box
tired of this love
and come next week
I don't wan't these things around
take what is yours
take all that your love has left behind
just take it away
take what could have been out of my mind
and take to the grave
the promise of children, children
and take for the road
this song away from me
what more
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
So when I wrote her
that it was over
and as she stood there with the note in her hand
before she lost it
as though accosted
when there was nothing but the hum of the fan
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
when she keept reading
faking the bleeding
as if to compliment her trembeling hand
thinking over
perfectly sober
the execution of her exit plan
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
I knew she got just what she wanted
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
She knows the salt of her tears is mine
so what more could she want from me?
now in a flash after all this time
her wet lies finaly failed on me
washed up and done I'm not even tryin'
so what more could she want from me?
ah ah ah, ah ah ah
before I told her
a little later
that I was hip to the trip she was on
I saw the blue bird
stiched on her pink shirt
and I rememberd all the years that had gone
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
why was it this that she wanted
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
She knows the salt of her tears was mine
so what more could she want from me?
now in a flash after all this time
her wet lies finaly failed on me
washed up and done I'm not even tryin'
so what more could she want from me?
ah ah ah, ah ah ah
and through the window something called my name
I flew away before she changed the game
ah ah ah , ah ah ah
love happens
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
we are somewhere in the dark
somewhere near the mark
We are somewhere, like a star
shining
we are burning like a match
with just a couple of strings attached
But don't leave now, this is just a scratch
in our lining
love happens in your company
I feel everything
please don't say a word
love happens in your company
I feel everything
please don't say a word
love happens
We are somewhere, an open dream
call it bursting at the seams
yeah, let's call it forever letting go
we're just flying
and love happens...
all the same
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
two drops falling from the sky
with a mission, a big mission
they swoop down, cuddle where they lie
wet fishing, play fishing
the young boy sitting on a curb he's got his
feet in the ocean, his small ocean
the same drops an italian woman cried into a
love potion, love potion, long ago
all the same, the fountain of a whale, a spring in Maine
all the same, the blood and milk of man and the endless rain
big fire burning through the clouds
with a mission, a big mission
the young boy, hands inside his shoes he sees the
street steaming, wet breathing
the same breath blown into a pipe by a man
sheep herding, sheep herding, long ago
all the same, the fountain of a whale, a tear in vain
all the same, the blood and milk of man and the endless rain
the endless rain falling on the street is the
same rain that's flowing in his feet
the endless rain
the making of
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
and action
2 am and here I wake
unexpected, from my sleep
with my fingers
in your hair, the air, alive
summer's breathing in our keep
all these feelings
there's our life, displayed tonight
on the ceiling
what a show
so I'm reaching
in the dark to find your hand
in the making of our love
Here I am talking in the dark
while you are sleeping spill my heart
whisper the corniest of lines
should feel like a fool but I don't mind
now with the moon upon your face
this moment can never be erased
it's part of the documentary of
the making of our love
cut
scene eleven
3 am and here I am
almost sleeping, almost gone
on the ceiling
things are calm, the scenes, the plot
and my conscience, but not for long
now I'm thinking
how the moon can fill a room
just like you, you fill my heart
you are starring
in a re-occurring dream
called the making of our love
slipping away I am dreaming of you
rolling the credits the picture is through
rumors
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
they said she'd be coming, no phone call, no warning
to settle a lover's score
rumour running around, she's in town, she might be over
over is what she said when she skipped the town
fall and winter come, since she'd gone she was my lover
love like a summer dress slipped and hit the ground
i don't want to think about her
what on earth did she come back for?
they said she'd be coming
no phone call, no warning
to settle a lovers score
to pick up the pieces
consider the breaches
to salvage along the shore
that's what she came back for
rumor came my way, yeah they say she's still loves me
i'm trying to keep my cool, but cool is getting high
high on what could be, what if she came to love me
love like a morning bird lifted to the sky
all i do is think about her
I can't believe that my heart wants more?
don't want to be by myself
now all i want is what she came back for
oh love, my love
oh, love, my love
that's what she came her for
they said she'd be coming, no phone call, no warning
to settle a lover's score... that's what she came back for
to pick up the pieces
consider the breaches
to salvage along the shore
.....that's what she came back for
yesterday
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
suddenly you come on my mind
stop my tape and hit rewind
I follow you into yesterday
I'm with you, in memory
there you are standing in the sun
on the phone with someone
holding a thought, the way we kissed
the way we were, here it is:
the way I love you
all the way from yesterday
from far away
is the way you love me
now, tomorrow and like I say,
yesterday
what would you say if yesterday
you and me, we went away?
made up a day and crossed the line
so easely, went back in time
slipped back into a memory
an afternoon on Perry Street
up in our room the shades are drawn
who could say, those times are gone?
the way I love you
all the way from yesterday
from far away
is the way you loves me
now, tomorrow and like I say,
yesterday
oh, upon our return
to the here and now
if time allows
let's capture us another day
chasing
(lyrics by Robby Baier, music by Melodrome)
I met her in the park
spent the hours talking
we went walking out of the day
but something wasnıt right
she was almost smiling
she kept trying to say ³Iım ok²
then she pulled away
she said
donıt go chasing my heart
cause it keeps on failing on me
donıt be calling my name
iım afraid of what this could be
makes me scared to go home
got a man and heıs mad at the world
donıt go chasing my heart
donıt go chasing my heart
today
i followed her thru town
took a train to chelsey
this is where she
slipped out of view
so heavy was my hearf
as I went looking for her
a boy came over
out of the blue
he said: I think this noteıs for you
it read:
donıt go chasing my heart
cause it keeps on failing on me
donıt be calling my name
iım afraid of what this could be
makes me scared to go home
got a man and heıs mad at the world
donıt go chasing my heart
donıt go chasing my heart
today
I walk the park alone
iım retracing
all the way back home
sheıs still amazing
in my kitchen I cry
into her letter
