Half of My Heart
- I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
- Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
- Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
- Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
-
- Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
- Half of my heart takes time
- Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
- That I can't keep loving you
- Oh, with half of my heart
-
- I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
- I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
- Lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
- Showing me a better way and all that my love can bring
-
- Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
- Half of my heart takes time
- Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
- That I can't keep loving you
- Oh, with half of my heart
- With half of my heart
-
- Your faith is strong
- But I can only fall short for so long
- Time will hold, later on
- You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
- But I can't stop loving you
- But I can't stop loving you
- But I can't stop loving you with half of my...
-
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart
-
- Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
- Half of my heart's got you
- Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
- That half of my heart won't do
-
- Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
- And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything
-
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart
- Half of my heart

Assassin
- I work in the dead of night
- When the world's quiet, no one is around
- Track my moves, racing the yellow lights
- To find the gate is open, she's waiting in the room
- I just step on through
-
- You get in, you get done and then you get gone
- You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
- Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
- But the sun came up again
-
- Enter the morning light
- To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
- In a little white room
- Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
- She's sleeping like a child
- What could I do
-
- You get in, you get done and then you get gone
- You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
- Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
- But the sun came up again
-
- I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
- I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
- I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
- Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
-
- Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
- Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
- Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing
- And suddenly I know exactly what I've done
- And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
-
- I'm gone
-

Edge of Desire
- Young and full off running
- Tell me where is that taking me
- Just a great figure eight
- Or a tiny infinite
-
- Love is really nothing
- But a dream that keeps waking me
- For all of my trying
- We still end up dying

Do You Know Me
- It's just the strangest thing

- A past night love affair
- Do you know me? At all
- Do you know me? At all
-
- In all my reverie
- I thought I felt us there
- A feather in my hand
- A flower in your hair

Friends, Lovers, or Nothing
- Now that we are over
- As the loving kind
- We'll be dreaming ways
- To keep the good alive
-
- Only when we want is not
- A compromise
- I'll be pouring tears
- Into your drying eyes
-
- Friends, lovers, or nothing
- There can only be one
- Friends, lovers, or nothing
- We'll never be an in-between
- So give it up
-
- You whisper "Come on over"
- Cause your two drinks in
- But in the morning I will say
- Good-bye again
-
- Think we'll never fall into
- The jealous game
- The streets will flood
- With blood of those who felt the same
-
- Friends, lovers, or nothing
- You see
- There can only be one
- Friends, lovers, or nothing
