Stolen Promises By John Carter

We had so much hope for you
But you threw it all away
This would be so much easier
If you were here today

We can't see your point of view
So we'll tell you that you're wrong
And if by chance you do succeed
Well, we knew it all along

How can you steal my promises
If you're certain I will fail
You pushed me on this balcony
Now you say to mind the rail?

You want me to be careful
Want to catch me if I fall
But what has brought about this change
When you were never there at all?

I have my fill of reality
On the ten o'clock news
So I don't need RealiTV
To warp my point of view

Why does everybody seem
To want to change my mind
It isn't much ground to defend
But damn it, it's still mine...

Sleep-In Sunday By John Carter

Is this Heaven or
Is this Hell, and
Did I mention
As near as I can tell

There's love all around and
Love in the air, there's
Snow on the ground, catch these
Flakes in your hair

You're not home, and I'm
Wasting away
Dreaming alone on this
Sleep-In Sunday

Lend me your ear, I'll
Share this silence, and
Can you hear me
Over the sirens?

Tables have turned now and
Doors have opened, so
Have you learned yet our
Hearts aren't broken?

Here in the corner I'm
Wasting the day, and I'm
Leaving the order for
Sleep-In Sunday

Are you near me or
Have you gone, I'm
Getting weary, you
Lead me on

I hear your voice now
Warm and strong
As you whisper, I
Sing along

Watch my memory
Fading away
Are you with me
On Sleep-In Sunday?
