if you can see what I can see, then there's no need
trying to grow a laurel from a blackthorn seed
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
dried-up dreams of yesterday are ash and dust
settle down to sweep away the broken trust
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
it's an open door, make your way
nothing here gonna make you stay
you and me weren't meant to be and why, god knows
so why you keep a' watering a wilted rose?
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
try as you may want you will not wash that stain
the blood that you have shed with thorns of doubt and pain
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
it's an open door, make your way
no one here gonna make you stay
it's a little late in this careless season
catch another breath and look around this room
there's nothing here but memories and cheap perfume
this love has lost its bloom
don't know when I came to feel the whip's red stripe
poison on the vine beneath the fruit so ripe
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
now you have done what you will do and no return
ashes don't remember how the kindling burned
baby, baby, can't you see it, baby, baby
it's an open door, make your way
nothing here gonna make you stay
it's a little late in this careless season
catch another breath and look around this room
there's nothing here but memories and cheap perfume
this love has lost its bloom

It’s impossible, to stay mad at you
Convinced myself I don’t have to
Baby I don’t wanna lose this fight
Don’t leave me alone tonight
It’s impossible, it’s a mystery
Something wrong with my chemistry
You got me wrapped up so tight
Don't know if it's wrong or right
And even when I don't, I do -
You've got me spinning circles
And I will wait
And I will wait for u
I always do
It's unstoppable, it's insanity
Somehow you've got a spell on me
I think I’m addicted to
The idea of you
It’s impossible, to stay mad for long
I even wrote you this song
Let’s give it another try
Just don’t ever say goodbye
And even when I don't, I do -
You've got me spinning circles
And I will wait
And I will wait for u
I always do
Gimme a sign,
c'mon show me the light cause I'm sinking
Feeling so lost
I wanna know what ur thinking

She said, "I'm half on land, but all at sea
There's not much left of me
So just go on and leave me be
Stop treating me like a child"
No more tears, a trace of salt
When she says it's all my fault
I just do as I've been taught
And lay low for a while
She goes dancing down to the waterline
Rest assured I'm feeling better all the time
I was a fighter, but a gentle guy
She never looked me in the eye
Just the last in a long, sad line
To drown himself in drink
No one gets out completely clean
Even the best ships lose their steam
If I tell you what I mean
Will you tell me what to think?
She goes dancing down to the waterline
Rest assured I'm feeling better all the time
And if I think too much, I'll probably run and hide
There's no need to drown alone
But you close your eyes and you sink like a stone
It's getting late, won't you come home to me?
She disappeared for a week or two
I found myself without a clue
I cared too much for someone who
Treated me like a child
We go dancing down to the waterline
Rest assured I'm feeling better all the time
We go dancing down to the waterline
Rest assured I feel like I'm running out of time

The Gulf Of Mexico - Jerry Chapman / Jason LeVasseur
77 and sun predicted for Monday
We’re leaving on Sunday, I guess that we’ll miss it again
Point the car North to Ohio in cold February
Came South to fix it - don’t know now if we’re even friends
Thought a vacation would take us away from the sorrow
of losing our baby - we’re looking for sunshine again
The rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
But we're shivering and we're soaked - we spent Valentines on the coast
They said rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
but you’re shivering and you’re soaked and i don’t want you to go
I'll drive while you're sleeping - my mind s spinning in circles
i hope you dream that I am the singer in your favorite band
A bear on the shelf behind bars at the shop on that island
watched us though windows and then we were yelling again
The rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
But we're shivering and we're soaked - we spent Valentines on the coast
They said rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
but you’re shivering and you’re soaked and i don’t want you to go
We'll be alright if I could figure out how to rewind
we should have never left Ohio
The future looks bright if I just close my eyes
and learn to forget about us
The rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
But we're shivering and we're soaked - we spent Valentines on the coast
They said rain, it never falls on the Gulf of Mexico
but I'm losing and I’m lost and I don’t want to go home
yeah, I'm losing and I’m lost and I don’t want to be alone
