Better Now Than Never
02:51
|
|||
If you ask everyone,
They will concur that wedding bells always bring happiness
But don't ask everyone you know, because sometimes they are wrong
If you're sure it's not right to remain,
Then it's better now than never for severing those ties with her.
I've been torn myself,
An anguish no one was privy to see, so I understand.

It's so easy to fight every fight,
Trying to prove that you are right
I know sarcastic jabs aren't really worth it,
So I can't let these feelings fester under my skin
Maybe it's the way you look at me,
Or maybe it's that these feelings aren't really worth it, baby.
Don't you know that when I get angry, girl,
I can't stay angry for long with you?
It's so easy to fight every fight,
Trying to prove that you are right
If I can gain perspective, then I will see
We're not so far apart, after all, are we?

Time Steals Away
03:53
|
|||
Time now steal away
Moments, minutes, hours, and days
Fading into the grey.
Fleeting, flying, they pass away
And like a lost kite with its trailing string,
Everything sails by
And like the earth's crust as it turns to dust
In the winds of time
Feel the days now blowing by
Slipping, sliding, they make you sigh
Tomorrow will draw you nigh
Searching, seeking for reasons why

Scared of Rejection
02:33
|
|||
Does it take a risk to reap a reward?
Oh, I can't allow my heart to be crushed anymore.
Maybe I'm scared just a little bit.
But I wanna if you like me.
If so, I wanna know because I'm scared of rejection.
Could I be your lover for a day
If all my feelings, you'd reciprocate?

See Me With Her
02:39
|
|||
Can you hear me, or have you gone deaf,
Anesthetized in your hospital bed?
You always wanted me happy and married,
But now you'll never get a chance
To ever see me with her
I guess I'll get just this one chance
To tell you she'd be one of the best granddaughters you never had
You always wanted me happy and married,
But now you'll never get a chance
To ever see me with her

Hairspray and Hypocrisy
04:59
|
|||
I've read how skeptics have been led to belief,
So what's happened that the church has made a skeptic out of me?
Is it the hairspray, or the hypocrisy, of the chosen few
That makes me question my devotion to you?
Are we foolish in the eyes of the world for the faith that we embrace,
Or the lies that we live?
I've read how skeptics have been led to belief,
So what's happened that the church has made a skeptic out of me?
Is it the lack of charity, or Trinity Broadcasting,
That makes me question so, like i do?
It has to be better than all the gossip,
Better than the backstabbing,
Better that the fashion show that fills our pews every Sunday
Are we foolish in the eyes of the world for the faith that we embrace,
Or the lies that we live?
