A Night Out
03:06
|

|
I could take you anywhere
Maybe New York, we'd visit Times Square
Your face is painted on a TV screen
Something I could get used to
No more lollipop dreams
Goodbye my sugar-kissed amphetamine
The after taste is lingering like smoke
Wondering where hope is
Out on the town, could you show me around?
Could you take me where there is music and silence?
Imagine all of the things we could say
I'll be what you need
If you'll be there for me
Don't you know I know you see straight through me?
You're not late, you're just flat out of time
I kinda wish that I could live forever
With you being attracted to me
We got it going on
I gotta go

I watched you dance the night away
You can't hear what I can't say
Panic never tasted sweet
Meeting eyes deletes the feet
No, it won't break
You're better off, just leave it alone
Make a mistake
You're better off just letting it show
You should get out of town
If you don't think
That I don't think the world of you
Shut up, you're beautiful
You look so lonely in that dress
With alcohol and cigarettes
Lipstick stains the glass you drink
Salty lips in shades of pink
No, it won't break
You're better off, just leave it alone
Make a mistake
You're better off just letting it show
You should get out of town
If you don't think
That I don't think the world of you
Shut up, you're beautiful

Happiness Tomorrow
05:24

A broken record that always says too much
A tired poet down on his luck
Spinning 'round, spinning round
Spinning 'round 'til you hit the ground again
Misunderstanding's a cold, hard word to say
It's black and white in a world of grey
A beggar begs with shame that can't be seen
He's kinda like me - he's kinda like me
The walls are closing in
A broken record that lost all of its groove
You try to dance but there's no one to turn to
Your favorite song on the radio
You used to love it until it turned to gold
In the sun, you worry about tomorrow
When you're done with never-ending sorrow
When the music's over, get back in your place
It's such a waste that you look forward to
Happiness tomorrow
A broken record that always says too much
A tired poet down on his luck
Spinning 'round, spinning round
Spinning 'round 'til you hit the ground again
Misunderstanding's a cold, hard word to say
It's black and white in a world of grey
A beggar begs with shame that can't be seen
He's kinda like me - he's kinda like me
In the sun, you worry about tomorrow
When you're done with never-ending sorrow
When the music's over, get back in your place
It's such a waste that you look forward to
Happiness tomorrow
We'll be happy tomorrow

Above the Clouds
04:54
|
|||
|
You beat like a whisk
And wonder where hope is
Ask the question
And you'll have your wish
She looked up with a tear in her eye
And she said, "baby, I love you"
I looked down and I started to sing
"Baby, I love you, too"
She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light
Too distant for sound
Far from a watchful eye
Don't hamper denial
Believe in the antidote
She looked up with a tear in her eye
And she said, "baby, I love you"
I looked down and I started to sing
"Baby, I love you, too"
She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light
Go away, I can't stay
It is time to say goodbye
Then she said with a smile
"You'll be with me 'til you die"
She's so cruel
She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light

Cold Honey
03:38
|
|||
|
With the right pair of eyes
Everything is justified
Wildflowers in bloom
There's an ocean in the room
And it's tearing me from you
It's true that the truth is a lie
Depending who asks why
Wildfire in bloom
Cold honey from a spoon
It's like watching a cartoon starring you
A dream undermines a wish
When all our opinions try to mix
When you shine your light at me
I'll shine right back at you
Share your heart without wonder
Under oceans full of stars
Say the words that divide
Dripping honey from the sky
And crying honey when you cry on me
A dream undermines a wish
When all our opinions try to mix
When you shine your light at me
I'll shine right back at you

Paris
05:23
|

Night begins and angels sing
Everything is full of life
Dancing bears and rocking chairs
Dance away the night
Now everything is full of life
The perfect stare to share a kiss
The city's full of light
A dancing street beneath your feet
A beautiful delight
Now everything is full of life
It's good to be in Paris in the summertime
'Cause we got secret identities
And that's all we need
The triumph rings and angels sing
Everything is full of life
Singing birds and dancing bees
Sing in the middle of flight
Now everything is full of life
It's good to be in Paris in the summertime
'Cause we got secret identities
And that's all we need
I'll hold your hand through Notre-Dame
And kiss you on the Eiffel Tower
I'll walk with you down Champs-Élysées
And cherish every hour
What more could I say?
Night begins and angels sing
Everything is full of life
Dancing bears and rocking chairs
Dance away the night
Now everything is full of life
I'll hold your hand through Notre-Dame
And kiss you on the Eiffel Tower
I'll walk with you down Champs-Élysées
And cherish every hour
What more could I say?

I Think I Hate You
04:34
|
|||
|
Hello, it's been about a week or two
I don't know how to be me without you
Has it really been so long?
All my friends disappear
Dwindling year by year
But I thought that you'd still be here
Hey girl, you put a smile on my face
Now I know our time was just a waste
Have you ever been sorry?
A quiet streak of jealousy
Oh, my, my, it's nice to see you smile
But I'll be damaged for a while
If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make-believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be
Hello, it's been about a week or two
Now I think I hate you
Have you ever been lied to?
I've tried time and time again
To get you back, or just be friends
Now I hope that I never see you again
If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make-believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be
The night is over and so are we
But I'd move a million mountains just to see you
The harsh reality sinks in
Now I miss you so, but I'll just start over again
If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make-believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be
If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just picture me with somebody
Who loves me like I loved you
We just weren't meant to be

Mississippi Queen

Pick me up now
On out of this hole
I can't seem to see the other side
Take me to a place
Where there's no one left to blame
It's just me that's trying to hide
I don't know
Where the loneliness goes
When I have you in my arms
You take my breath away
That's all that I can say
I just need you here right now
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being a whore
My Mississippi Queen
The devil's in my dreams
Wake me up
Get me out of this dream
'Cause life's a constant waterfall
Never really thought
That life could be this hard
But thanks to you I'm not alone
Come with me now
Let's get out of here
We'll drive to San Francisco Bay
We'll take a trip or two
Baby, I'll be next to you
And we'll return again
Return again someday
We will be free
Baby, you and me
I'll take care of you
No matter how hard life can be
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being a whore
My Mississippi Queen
The devil's in my head
Oh no, not again...
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
I don't have to be alone anymore
That's what love is for
My Mississippi Queen
You're always in my dreams

Miss Fortune
03:41
|
|||
|
She was a girl
In an understanding world
She was juxtaposed to herself
To her self that no one knows
She began to see
That her beauty gave her everything
She took advantage
Tried to manage living without pride
She was flashy - fine and dashing
But she was dead inside
Sick of being tired
Tired of being overrated
Through with being blue
Miss Fortune has her deadly eyes on you
Her face was adored
Though she's mentally ignored
She tried to persuade
For the first time, she didn't get her way
She felt lucky
Being stuck behind the masquerade
She was flashy - fine and dashing
But living a charade
Sick of being tired
Tired of being overrated
Through with being blue
Miss Fortune has her deadly eyes on you
Inside she's so afraid
But she makes believe that it's okay
Abandoning her hope
'Cause today's the day
That she outlives her beauty
Her beauty's gone - now what's left behind?
Poor Miss Fortune
I'm sorry that they took away the pain
Of being you
She's dead inside - but she's still alive
She pushes and pushes
But now she's all alone

Steph's So Hot
03:39
|
|||
|
Maybe it's the way she blinks
Maybe it's 'cause she won't sing to me
It might be the way she talks
Could be the way she looks at me
She lights up when it snows
She picks me up when I'm feeling low
I read to her until she sleeps
She smiles at me when I touch her cheek
Sweet like candyfloss
Refreshing just like applesauce in the sauce
Close your eyes and make a wish
Close your eyes 'cause I'm gonna kiss you now
I lost myself
'Cause I'm lost for words
Maybe I'm scared of going there
'Cause Steph's so hot
Steph's so hot
Let's take a midnight walk
A silhouette glowing in the dark
I lost myself
'Cause I'm lost for words
Now I'm not scared of going there
'Cause Steph's so hot

Breeding Ground
02:07
|

|
The fortune inside
Look deep inside the wake
You damage yourself
I'll damage your mind
Listening to that picture in mind
I'll be there tonight
To relieve you of yourself
I doubt...
I stare a lot at you
You stare a lot at me
It's just a breeding ground

The Concept of Time
03:23
|
|||
|
Time stands still
It slowly ticks away
It was such a thrill
But I knew I couldn't stay
Was it the best or was I just confused?
I chained myself up to a wall
You said I wouldn't make it
But now I know I'll be fine
But I gotta get it out of my mind
'Cause it's over now
Time flies by
I wonder where I was
A photograph
Painted in my mind
Memories always take me back
I don't know if it was good or bad
You said I wouldn't make it
But now I know I'll be fine
But I gotta get it out of my mind
'Cause it's over now

Craig Haller Nashville, Tennessee
Craig Haller was born with a chip on his shoulder and a song in his heart. His music is the byproduct of many hours spent in obsessive contemplation. With a flair for memorable melodies and an overabundance of poetic license, he happily casts himself as lord of his own creative landscape—a land of genre fluidity, appetizing aural atmospheres, and turns of phrase that refuse to be pinned down. ... more
