She thinks you're eloquent He thinks you're deep They're both impressed by the company you keep Passionate rhetoric, you speak I'm less and less sober When watching you win em over Ok they get it babe You're bright But the lights, not quite right You glow best in the dark When the lights less flourescent And the sky Holds a crescent The wick can kiss the spark So boy dont miss the mark And you're best lit by The Candle in the Dim (4x) Shadow's don't know where You end and I begin Quicker the flicker Longer the loving lasts And babe the sunlight, knows you're a site to see But for the moonlight Sounds like THe Candle in the dim (4x)

Riddle me this Did I hit or I miss When I said I had to go Oh no He leaned in for a kiss I simply resisted Why'd I say know I could tell he was nervous Didn't rehearse this As he walked toward the door To late to repeat the moment I hesitate when its all so perfect Now he's the one that got away Missed the boat and now I'm lonely Don't know why I was so afraid He's the One He's the onw We trade a glance and then a wave When I see him everyday And when we do decide to hang Its painful, chordial And itll always be this way When I regret the day And the decision i made When I see you all i think to say is: (Chorus) Bridge: And everytime I close my eyes My mind runs back to you And every time I realize That I can't undo The moment that I hurt your pride And lost out on you Make sure you know that That I never ever wanted you to feel that way

Mr. Rhee 01:46
I knew this fella His name was Mr. Rhee Came by the restaurant Everyday at 3 Sat at my table But never looked at me Gave me a tip Then Dipped Only to be see Tomorrow For an hour or so Such a magnet of a man Notebook in his hand Im intrigued Mr. Rhee Call you my pleasant monotony I wonder and ponder where it is you spend your time In motions and hopes in contours of your mind Is your style acquired Or is it by design Should I inquire? Im shy But Im willing to try omorrow For an hour or so Such a magnet of a man Notebook in his hand Im intrigued Mr. Rhee Call you my pleasant monotony

Souvenirs 06:05
(Intro) Outside the Eiffel Tower is near Dont got no one around me here Dont like the way you made Fritz feel But I know you like this sound right here The sun it dont go down right here Well, Pardon Qu'est - ce que vous voulez dire? The Dutch they got that loud right there So you know, I like this sound right here Verse 1 Beautiful day for a drive So I took the long way home You had a lot on your mind And took it out on the road You left your heart overseas I peeked in quick, your heart healed His sense of humor would leave us No time to brace b4 we crashed And we create this lovely mess Where stolen moment and kisses go to rest But boy its ok We still got yesterday Chorus: Memories make the best souvenirs Last 4 ever feelings they disappear And our song wont last that long tho Rights turned wrong wont ruin what we have here Verse 2: My mind and your heart collided You harmed me when you charmed me My stroll competes with your stride Not healthy, Had to leave You had my heart in knots He matched my stripes to your polkadots And our styles aligned, but only for a season Blind by the flash and then, we clash This summer love not built to match And alone in love yet so attached But boy its ok We still got yesterday (Chorus) Outro Love dont have to last forever Make a memory and it endures Let it fly through the sky Linger there, let it lie

And you want it, you wanna touch it , you want to touch it (2x)
