Teeter Lyrics

hard
by Gregory Douglass

god, take this canopy away from me,
i need to reacquaint the sky,
we’ve done our best and so i’m leaving,
‘cause it’s my life, it’s my life.

i know it’s hard enough to figure out
what’s right and what’s a waist of time,
just like how easy it can be to hold on to a lie.

i know everything is going to work out fine,
i’ve been waiting for this day all this time,
you’ve done everything that you could do,
but floating is just a waist of my foolish pride.

i’ll miss you hard enough to hide it,
i need you hard enough to try,
i love you hard enough to move on.

believe me when i say i need this,
i’m sick and tired of this place,
believe me when you see the likes of it,
or just the look on my face.

time
by Gregory Douglass

it’s just another day we find a way to comprehend,
and when we fall, we fall down hard and get back up again,
i understand that there is not much more to understand,
when there is nothing really there to begin with.

but the very first i saw your face i would believe in love,
now and forever more i will declare a god above,
and he is crying out for you with every pain and every sigh,
and you just watch the world go by.

darling, wait for me,
it don’t make sense to me,
they say time’s gonna work itself out,
like a memory on a day dream,
they say time will relieve itself,
time’s gonna make it alright.

what is beautiful to you is so unusual,
and what is mine is yours, but that won’t make this easier,
you’ve got a lot of love to give,
and you have given all that you could,
I just never understood.

time’s gonna make eveything free,
as hard as it may seem,
they say time’s gonna work itself out,
so don’t worry ‘cause, darling, destiny
says that  time will relieve itself,
time’s gonna make it alright.

valley
by Gregory Douglass

wind shifts and fire rises.

nobody can find out what we have been doing,
nobody will want to believe such a thing,
you thought i was sacred but you were mistaken,
now everything's crumbling down to the ground,

but all i really want is unspeakable.

unbelievable,
there’s a fire in the valley,
burning all around, burn the whole thing down,
unbelievable,
it gets stronger as it rains,
burning all around, burn the whole thing down,
there’s a fire in the valley.

nobody would ever believe my behavior,
nobody would ever believe what i’ve done,
this wicked desire is sucking the life from me,
i should be ashamed of who i have become,

but all i really want is unreachable.

welcome back
by Gregory Douglass

i love the ocean cause it’s big enough to drown us all,
in all the sorrows we’ve created in the years come and gone,
and if it’s not enough to open up and split us wide,
It’s sure to finish us the moment we step back when the tide comes in.

but that is not the way i think i want to rock my world,
and if you’re king then i’m just another dumb, naive little girl,
i know that’s fine with you but it’s not really quite my style,
i guess we’ll both find out exactly where we stand in awhile now,
           
well now, everything is clear now, welcome back to the world now,
hey now, just how long could we have been here, now?

why don’t we let go of it . . .

well i’ve been around and there is so much here to figure out,
so i figure i’ll keep moving on and see what life's all about,
‘cause that just might be what i really need,
yeah, that just might be what i really need,

hey now, well now, everyone is here now,
welcome back to the world now,
well now, just how long have we been sleeping, now?

let me in
by Gregory Douglass

hey, you’re someone that i know,
aren’t you?
haven’t we spent a little time together?
you don’t remember me do you?
okay, that’s fine with me.

hey, that’s my shirt you have,
isn’t it?
i let you borrow it a few years ago.
you don’t remember that do you?
okay, that’s fine with me.

‘cause i’ve already wasted my time on it,
and i’ve already tasted my love and i,
and i’ve already wasted my time on it,
this is not what i wanted.

hey, look who’s at it again,
figures,
is that the only defense you brought with you?
you’ve got a long way to go, babe,
i hope you learn someday.

give me hope,
hold me close,
let me go.

wild world
by Gregory Douglass

once in my life,
i knew just what was right around the corner,
i knew what was right,
‘till one day it all came crashing down.

so, here we are now,
we’ve come around right back to where we belong now,
where did the life go?
when did i become the last of my kind?

it’s a wild world . . .

now babies believe me,
if you need love you’ve got to give it any way you can,
‘cause that’s how you’ll survive,
that’s the only way you’ve got to survive.

feel you breathe
by Gregory Douglass

i’ve been here going out of my mind thinking life's so hard,
crying all of the time when i could be fine,
so i made up my mind, leave it all behind.
i’ve been here going out of my mind thinking love’s so blind,
and it’s out of control, but i’ve seen the signs,
so i’m gonna be fine, yes i’ll be alight,
‘cause you’re the one for me, babe.

i’ve been here trying to survive this belated sun,
and i’m soaking’ it up ‘till I come undone,
‘cause it seems like there hasn't been sun for weeks,
i guess it’s up to me.
but i’m taking my time and i’ll tell you how,
all the sun in the world couldn’t break me now,
now that i’m getting back on my feet,
now it’s just you and me.

so i’ve made up my mind and it’s fine with me
to give up on my world just to feel you breathe.
i’ve been here, living alone with this desperate need
to give up on my world just to feel you breathe.

i’ve been here holding my breath in a wave of war,
and it’s not like i haven’t been here before,
so i’m wondering what I have next in store,
yeah, what’s the deal with me?
‘cause i’m ready to go, at least that’s my aim,
and i’m weighing a lot on this loosing game,
but if everything’s lost, then we’re all insane,
and someone’s got to win.

innocent
by Gregory Douglass

in a sense it’s starting to come easier
then it ever has before,
in a way it seems the only things worth while
are worth the fighting for,
in a sense i’m starting to believe in someone
who i never will become,
and now i’m found,
and now i’m lost,
and now it’s coming back again.

innocence, don’t let me go . . .

in a sense i’m getting so much happier
then i ever have before
in a way i’ve given all my lovely away
so i give a little more,
in a sense i’m getting so much stronger
then i could ever understand,
and now i’m found,
and now i’m lost,
and now it’s coming back again.

i wonder
by Gregory Douglass

wonder if i’ve found you darling,
wonder if it’s over,
wonder if you’re what i’m longing for,

wonder why you’re so like i am,
wonder how we got here,
wonder if we’ll make it through tomorrow,

wonder if it’s falling stars?
and if it’s falling stars,
i wonder if we’re gaining?
but if the raining starts,
i won’t give up, i’ve given all i’ve got.

i’d give my life to love someone like you,
i can’t go on ‘till the wildest of my dreams comes true,
and if there’s a god that’s watching every move,
how could he let me down?
how could he let me drown?

wonder if this child descending
may be an illusion
wonder if you’ll take me high enough,

better life
by Gregory Douglass

he’s an englishman, she’s an american woman,
she believes in him, so she writes him and says,
do you want to come to america?
it’s a free wonderland, when you’re wicked and wild,
but it’s the best we can do, it’s the best thing around,
even in the legend of euphoria.

take this heart and we’ll walk right out of here,
take this love and the world will disappear,
take these walls and we’ll trade them for a better life.

picture everything glowing sepiant warm,
like a happy ending, like a fairy tale dream,
that’s the way a moment hits reality.
dreams in stereo, dreams in technicolor,
all the reason to dream, all the more reason why,
i believe in love and i believe in you.

so, if you leave me all alone,
you’ll be leaving a lot of things,
when you’re out there on your own,
you’ll be wishing you hadn't, babe,
so, when you leave me all alone,
you can never come back again.

may the best of this last the rest of your life,
‘cause all the rest of it will fade away over night,
that’s the way it is and it will always be.
you’re a miracle, you’re a god of your own,
individual heart, undeniable home,
this is who you are and who you’ve always been.
