HOW WE GROW OLD

You're testing the water but you're already mine

Will it be hot or will you be fine?

How deep are we going? You never can tell...

Times up now you're swimming and you're caught in the swell

Is this how we grow old? Is this how we grow old?

Dig up the strength to break from the mold

Tell me we're going home...

Turning the corner... Oh what will I find?

Will I still feel you there by my side

Lets draw a picture of our hands held tight

No you cant make it alone all on your own facing the rising tide

Tell me Is this how we grow old? Is this how we grow old?

Dig up the strength to break from the mold

Tell me we're going home...

What you will find, honey, is all in your mind

Come on and take me by your side...

Is this how we grow old? Is this how we grow old?

So dig up the strength to break from the mold... 

Tell me we're going home. Just tell me we're going home

 

 

 

 

WON’T YOU STAY

 

Last night I saw the world around me stop

Like I was falling, there was nothing I could do

When I saw your face in the crowded room, that’s when I knew

Do you feel the same? Do you feel it too?

  

Finally I see things clearly

You’re everything I’ll ever need

Won’t you stay, won’t you stay with me

 

Too long I pushed away the thoughts I felt

I’m done with hiding.

All I had to do…. was to step aside and find a way to let you through

Do you feel the same? Do you feel it too?

 

Finally I see things clearly

You’re everything I’ll ever need

Won’t you stay, won’t you stay with me

 

All the lies I trusted my heart and pride were busted

All attempts to feel at home

So sit tight and hold tight

Just never let me go

  

Won’t you stay, won’t you stay

 

  

 

DANNY WAIT

  

I was thinking about the day

When I was eight years old and stared away

At the sun until my sight began to fade

My eyes started to ache

Was it hate or was it fate for what’s been done and was done?

 

Hey Danny wait…

Are you listening? Are you listening now?

 

The night you let it go

Did you promise not to leave the sun alone?

Because seven years have gone by yet unknown

You let silence pass the time

Like the aching of my eyes, it sends shivers down my spine

 

Hey Danny wait… Danny wait…

Everything that you loved you have left here now

Hey Danny wait… Is there anything you’d like to say…

For the years you spent killing this poor boy now

 

I was thinking about the day

When I was eight years old and stared away

At the sun until my sight began to fade

  

Are you listening? Are you listening now?

 

 

 

 

GET DOWN

 

Something about you got me hypnotized

I cant think straight baby with you on my mind

Cuz its gets getting hard to figure out where we begin…

And where we end… Nothing’s forever but we’ll be alright

 

I get that cold sweat, quick step in my feet

You get that pink cheek, cant speak when you see me

I think that we should get down

  

You might be thinking I’m just wasting time

Trying to lay my “game” spitting every line

So tell me why you stick around giving me signs? Lay it out..

Nothing’s forever but we’ll be alright

 

I can be your shelter you own undercover lover everyday

We will be together no matter whatever weather may come our way

  

I get that cold sweat, quick step in my feet

You get that pink cheek, cant speak when you see me

I think that we should get down

 

  

 

BY THE WAYSIDE

 

What happened to you?

Last time we talked you said you need some time

That you were moving to the Westside

What happened to us?

To think we could’ve worked it out

But your head was only filled with doubt

 

By now you’d see

You’re falling by the wayside of your needs

 

Following you

To trip in someone else’s shoes

No it never really paid my dues

I was fighting for the wrong side

While you were just along for the ride

  

By now you’d see

You’re falling by the wayside of your needs

So many times dramaticize the lie and all it feeds

You’re falling by the wayside

 

By now you’d see

You’re falling by the wayside of your needs

Can we ever reconcile the cities in between?

You’re falling by the wayside

Falling by the wayside

 

 

SAY

 

I was driving along the street

The one where we used to meet

We had each other

I would stay up all night and dream of us the day we’d live together

 

So how could you say “I can replace you”

“I wont hesitate to go”…?

 

Twenty-five years from now

Girl I couldn’t see much how to love you better

So when I see you walk on by

Girl you gonna make me cry when I spend the night alone

  

How could you say I can replace you

I wont hesitate to go

You say I’m failing you now…

“Someone’s taken your place, You’re in outer space

Things are changing, I move at my own pace.”

 

How could you say “I can replace you

I wont hesitate to go”…?

You say I’m failing you now…

“Someone’s taken your place, You’re in outer space

Things are changing, I move at my own pace.”

 

 

TAKE IT EASY MY BROTHER CHARLES

 

Take it easy my brother Charlie

Take it easy meu irmao de cor

 

Pois a rosa e uma flor

A rosa e uma cor

A rosa e um nome de mulher

 

Rosa e a flor da simpatia

E a flor escolhida no dia

Do primeiro encontro do nosso dia

Com a vida queria

Com a vida mais garrida

Take it easy Charlie

 

Take it easy my brother Charlie

Take it easy meu irmao de cor

 

Depois que o primeiro homem

Maravilhosamente pisou na lua

Eu me senti com direitos, com principios

E dignidade

De me libertar

 

Por isso, sem preconceitos eu canto

Eu canto a fantasia

Eu canto o amor, eu canto a alegria

Eu canto a fe, eu canto a paz

Eu canto a sugestao

Eu canto na madrugada

Take it easy my brother Charlie

Poise eu canto ate pra minha amada

Esperada, desejada, adorada

 

Take it easy my brother Charlie

Take it easy meu irmao de cor

 

Take it easy my friend

Take it easy my boy

Olha como o ceu e azul

Olha como e verde o mar

Olha que sol bonito, Eric
