tonic - if you could only see

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

You're stretching out your arms to something that's just notthere
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

tonic - sugar

Come on baby get your shoes on
You're looking like you need a rescue Underneath the southernmoonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows

Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn

I could give a thousand reasons
I could live a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel

( CHORUS )

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

I waited so long for a love so true
So I'm giving it all right back to you
I'm giving you my best of silver
I'm giving you my best of gold

Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn

So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we're starting
We can start it all right here

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

tonic - ring around her finger

She wears a ring around her finger
Shiny platinum diamond stone
Somewhere my love is hurting
She's alone again tonight

Maybe we promised way to early
Maybe we won't survive the road
Because back home it's way to early
to call her on the phone

so give me love
give me fascination
give me strength that I can save my relationship

I've been alone before
I don't want to be alone again
I see my life through that door
I'm gonna open up and let it in
God let me in, God let me in

So we dream about tomorrow
And we struggle for today
But somewhere we'll find the answer
To the price we'll have to pay

so give me love
give me fascination
give me strength that I can save my relationship

I've been alone before
I don't want to be alone again
I see my life through that door
I'm gonna open up and let it in
God let me in, God let me in

There was a time that I could not believe
It's so simple just to love and leave
It was in the end that I found my way again

so give me love
give me fascination

I've been alone before
I don't want to be alone again
I see my life through that door
I'm gonna open up and let it in
God let me in, God let me in

tonic - queen

Head strong and steadfast junkies
All barter for the clean
They all wait in their plastic lines
To find what color means

Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do know what I mean

Oh oh

I spoke to a girl by the backdoor
She said she'd do anything just to meet you
You know I've seen that smile before
Just in time for a knee to hit the ground
Little girls
Dressed up like French whores
In velvet paintings
Wide eyed
Long nails
They all wanna live the fairy tale

Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do know what I mean

Did they tear you all up inside oh
Did they take away your pride
and she cried herself to sleep that night

Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do know what I mean
Cause they all wanna be queen
And you do and you do and you do
know what I mean
Queen wanna be queen
Queen wanna be queen
Queen they all wanna be queen

tonic - casual affair

So you give it all
In the world today
You say it's all about the passion
And the wars you wage
I'm not saying I'm one for violence
But it keeps me hangin' on

It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar baby
When everybody loves you

I said I'm not afraid of change
I'm not afraid to lose
They say it's all about the sacrifice
And the weapons you choose
Like I said I'm not one for violence
But it keeps me hangin' on

It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar baby
When everybody loves you

It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar baby
When everybody loves you

It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh they'll pay top dollar
When everybody loves you

tonic - open up your eyes

Choosing stones
Big enough to drag me down
Where I am People's voices make hollow sounds
Just be quite,they'll go away
Open up your eyes
Don't let your mind tell the story here

Just let me go
It's so safe, It's so safe floating in the glass
While above, While above all your troubls pass
Just be quite They'll go away
Open up your eyes, Don't let your mind tell the story here
Open up your eyes Just let me go
( lead )
Open up your eyes Don't let your mind tell the story here
Open up your eyes Just let me go ,let me go ,let me go
Open up your eyes Just let me go

tonic - flower man

Flower man, flower man,
When are you gonna grow?
When you gonna lay down everything you know?
Flower man, flower man,
How you gonna sleep
With all these people cutting down your feet?

Flower man, flower man

Flower man, flower man,
Your head's above the rest
If you're gonna trust them, they gotta pass the test.
Flower man, flower man,
You're living in the sun
Shattered and hollow, you shine for everyone.

Flower man, flower man

They're getting up to hurt you
With all the things they say
So you put on your armour
And stand in the way.
You're wearing the target
That took so long to earn
And you start looking sideways
In every turn
You start looking sideways
In every turn.

Flower man, flower man
Flower man, flower man
Flower man

tonic - waiting for the light to change

Brazen is love's redeemer
When you have so far to go
It loves the true believer
For the innocence they own

Life is good life is grand
When you're sittin' on top of the world
Life is good when it's in your hands
And nobody can change your world

I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting

All my prize possessions
That I thought I needed so
Dragged me down on a razor
With a heaviness they tow
always searching for a love that's in bloom
it's a warm and soft embrace
Hoping you'll never be lonely again
It's a fear that you just can't face

I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting

Life is good and life is grand
When you're sitting on top of the world
Life is good when it's in your hands your hands
And nobody can change your world

I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting for the light to change
I'm just waiting, I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting, I'm just waiting

tonic - future says run

Holding lightly
Words that make you aware
Your head's spinning
No one knows you're not there
Blankly staring
Strangers call you a friend
The power you hold
Is a power that mends

You can't go on
No you can't even talk
Your future says run
But you can't even walk

So you harbor
Standing idly by
Indescretions, slowly turn into lies
Your're half empty
They don't know how it feels
The power inside
Is a power that heals

But You can't go on
No you can't even talk
Your future says run
But you can't even walk

tonic - knock down walls

You killed me when you came walking down the sidewalk
Saying everything was fine
Dressed up like a wife of a life I'll never have It's so easy tofool me
You can turn me on
You can turn me off
I've had enough of that little boy sandbox stuff
Love you wanted to try
For a life you're willing to buy

I
Knock down walls for you
Cause I need you

You always grab a hold of the ones you know you can change
Just a group of loner zeros who will play your game
Something tells them that their luck is gonna change
Round and round you drag them down
So don't tell me I've gone crazy
You're the one who's trying to fuckin change me

I
Knock down walls for you
Cause I need you
I
Knock down walls for you
Cause I want you

Hurt me, break me make me fall
Crush my heart force me to crawl
Show me love is never real
The wait is worth the pain you feel

Life you wanted to try
For a love you're willing to buy

I
Knock down walls for you
Cause I need you
I
Knock down walls for you
Cause I need you
I knock down walls for you
I Need you

tonic - take me as i am

I never knew my father
I never knew his pain
Or that an empty home life
Would break him down again
So when I feel like running I have to look inside
I want to find the answer
I want to break my line

Fear falls down like rain
And it makes me whole again
Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am
I'm not broken
Pieces of my life are not tokens
I want to let you know that I'm still learning
How to love again and stop hurting

I want to roll my darkness into a million suns
I need to find forgiveness when all the pain is done
I want to hear I'm sorry, I want to let you go
I have to find my own life, I want to learn to grow

Fear falls down like rain
And it makes me whole again
Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am
I'm not broken
Pieces of my life are not tokens
I want to let you know that I'm still learning
How to love again and stop hurting

It makes me whole again

Take me as I am
I'm not broken
Pieces of my life are not tokens
I want to let you know that I'm still learning
How to love again and stop hurting

tonic - you wanted more

Love is tragic
Love is bold
You will always
Do what you are told

Love is hard
Love is strong
You will never say that you were wrong
I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud

Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand to hold you down
I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

I got to pick me up when I am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when I am down

I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

You wanted more
More than I could love
More than I could offer
The harder you would shove
You wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live

tonic - soldier s daughter

It's the way he looks at you
That says to me
This isn't over
From the outside looking in
You see there's nothing sacred here
Nothing sacred
You can bend
But you can't break

For the reasons out of our control
You try to make it roll
Like a dice away
But you say that you're all empowered here
This is obviously not clear enough to me
You can bend
But you can't break

Hey little girl keep dancing
Hey little girl keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your day
To keep you here

The soldier's daughter
Did your daddy
Did your daddy hurt you
Did he make you feel bad
Did he poison your views
With the water he was raised on
Oh your father's son says hang on
Hang on

Hey little girl keep dancing
Hey little girl keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your life
To stay here

So over the hills he'd climb
Just to see her there in time
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress
The sweet soldier's daughter
The sweet soldier's daughter

tonic - mr golden deal

Swallow your pride
Make way for the new bride
Holding your tongue
When they call another winner

Oh there is more to this life
Hey Mr. Golden Deal
Tell me how does she feel
She's like the wind
And that boy couldn't sail
He says I've washed these decks for years
I've carried those pails

And oh there is more to this life
Hey Mr. Golden Deal
Tell me how does she feel
Does she hold you in the night
Does she tell you everything is gonna be alright

Hey Mr. Golden Deal
How does she feel
Captain oh my captain
Steer the first mate true
The men they sing a song of fear
Ghosts of ships that failed before
And the captain he is laughing
You can't control the sea
She will always do as she pleases
It's her nature to be free

And oh there is more to this life
Hey Mr. Golden Deal
Tell me how does she feel
Do you hold her in the night
Do you tell her everything's gonna be alright

Hey Mr. Golden Deal
I know how you feel
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, Iknow
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I, I know

Hey Mr. Golden Deal
How does she feel
