Where In The World?

WHERE IN THE WORLD? - Written by Carroll Bryant

Love can hang by a thread

Visions of us keep dancing in my head

Love can dangle from a heart

Flames that can engulf us

Never get enough of

This that’s coming up is my favorite part

 

You said you were so involved

With every single thought I had

Good for you to make me sad

 

You said you were feeling gratified

I never meant for you to go

What I thought I didn’t know

 

Where in the world did you mean to take me?

Why did you have to break me?

I would have gone anywhere that you would have wanted me

Why in the world did you have to forsake me?

Why did you have to make me want so much to forget about you?

 

Pain surrenders to the soul

Versions of us seem to always come and go

Pain can dizzy up the past

Fires that will burn us

Ashes in the aftermath

This that’s coming up is my favorite laugh

 

You said you were so sensitive

With every single thing I said

Life is for the true undead

 

You said you were never leaving

I didn’t think that you would stay

Good for me you went away

 

Where in the world did you mean to take me?

Why did you have to break me?

I would have gone anywhere that you would have wanted me

Why in the world did you have to forsake me?

Why did you have to make me want so much to forget about you?

 

Maybe I didn’t see what was coming

You were planning your get-away

While I was looking the other way

 

Maybe I didn’t know what you were proving

Everything you did to me

Was splashed across the pages of your blog

 

 

 

Love can hang by a thread

Visions of us keep dancing in my head

They keep dancing in my head

They keep tearing me apart

 

Where in the world did you mean to take me?

Why did you have to break me?

I would have gone anywhere that you would have wanted me

Why in the world did you have to forsake me?

Why did you have to make me want so much to forget about you?

 

Where in the world did you mean to take me?

Why did you have to break me?

I would have gone anywhere that you would have wanted me

Why in the world did you have to forsake me?

Why did you have to make me want so much to forget about you?

Want so much to forget about you?

I want so much to forget about you

 

Where in the world did you mean to take me?

Why did you have to break me?

Hell is where you left me

Time for me to forget about you

The Devil's Bed

THE DEVIL'S BED - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

You can’t seem to comfort all my pain

Your tears pour down like a Mississippi rain

I can hear the hounds of hell call out

Never understanding your love or what it’s all about

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying  hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight

 

I know I’m selfish and I get eaten up with pride

Can’t be persuaded by the helpless look in your eyes

I squeezed the breath right from your beating heart

Never understanding your love or how it even started

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight

 

I can see the lightning as it strikes across the sky

The thunder shakes my senses to the moment I might die

I look inside the diamond that hides behind your life

I can’t see a goddamn thing except memories that we both know have died

 

Our memories have died

 

You can’t seem to comfort all my pain

Your tears pour down like a Mississippi rain

I can hear the hounds of hell call out

Never understanding your love or what it’s all about

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying  hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight

Desperate Hearts

DESPERATE HEARTS - Written by Carroll Bryant

Looking in my eyes, can’t you see my desperation?

Sweating all night between the sheets in a bed of perspiration

Thinking about love, and wondering how it could be

Reaching out to touch, and wishing that you were here with me

Desperate hearts, filled with desire

Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire

Running for my life, I got to finish what I start

Holding on tight to the hopes of love with a desperate heart

Looking in your eyes, I can see that you’re screaming

Tired from the fight that you had last night with your demons

Swimming in the pain, of loves sweet misery

Calling out the name, of the one you want to meet

Desperate hearts, filled with desire

Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire

Running for your life, you got to finish what you start

Holding on tight to the hopes of love with a desperate heart

Do you count your dreams as they pass you by?

Can you count the stars as they twinkle in the sky?

If you knew the truth could you live a lie?

No excuses ……… No reason why

Looking in our eyes, they can see all the passion

Flying on a plane that catches fire and soon it will be crashing

Maybe we’re in love, or maybe we’re both just fools

Maybe it’s enough, or maybe there’s nothing else to do

Desperate hearts, filled with desire

Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire

Running for our lives, we got to finish what we start

Holding on tight to the hopes of love with a desperate heart

Holding on tight to the hopes of love … with a desperate heart

Love Paradise

LOVE PARADISE - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

You have to exercise your right to fall so deep in love

When you know that you can’t hide

Or just can’t get enough

It’s like a sweet cookie surprise

Filled with double stuff inside

 

And the more you hesitate

The longer you must wait

The more you walk away

The less your heart can play

It can be a funny ride

Until you hear somebody say

How they feel inside

 

Welcome to love paradise

 

It’s like getting lost inside a sleepy little town

It’s like everywhere you go you can’t get around

It’s like getting up too high then falling to the ground

And you can’t find your way

No you can’t find your way back out

 

Welcome to love paradise

 

You have to evaporate your tears

To get where you want to be

You have to stand and face your fears

So close that you can’t see

All the goodness in her eyes

Until you realize

 

That the more you make her wait

The longer it will take

To go outside and play

The less time flies away

You can seek or you can hide

It’s the truth you can’t deny

 

Welcome to love paradise

 

It’s like getting lost inside a sleepy little town

It’s like everywhere you go you can’t get around

It’s like getting up too high then falling to the ground

And you can’t find your way

No you can’t find your way back out

 

Welcome to love paradise

And the more you hesitate

The longer you must wait

The more you walk away

The less your heart can play

It can be a funny ride

Until you hear somebody say

How they feel inside

 

Welcome to love paradise

 

It’s like getting lost inside a sleepy little town

It’s like everywhere you go you can’t get around

It’s like getting up too high then falling to the ground

And you can’t find your way

No you can’t find your way back out

 

Welcome to love paradise

Can't Say No

CAN'T SAY NO - Written by Carroll Bryant

I saw you in a bar last night with another man

You were dancing oh, so close to him

And tonight you dare to ask me to take you back in

I was your fool one time, ain’t that enough?

So don’t play with my mind, girl if it ain’t love

‘Cause I can’t say no … no … no matter how I try

I can’t deny my heart    ( My love is true )

I can’t say no … no … no matter what you do

I just can’t say no to you

It seems I can remember how you did me wrong

Leaving me with memories all night long

And tonight you care to tell me you wanna come back home

You broke my heart last time, when I took you in

So I’m begging you now, don’t do it again

‘Cause I can’t say no … no … no matter how I try

I can’t deny my heart  ( My love is true )

I can’t say no … no … no matter what you do

I just can’t say no to you

Love can be a mountain and oh so hard to climb

There’s no easy answer that the heart can ever find

Love should be a two way street so, why does it pass me by?

All I know for you my love is that it’s beating … inside

I can’t say no … no … no matter how I try

I can’t deny my heart  ( My love is true )

I can’t say no … no … no matter what you do

I just can’t say … Oh, baby, I just can’t say

You know that I just can’t say no to you

Where I Want To Be

WHERE I WANT TO BE - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Walking down the path I chose

Can’t recognize a single place I go

Your face is many faces in the crowd

 

Whispers spoken I can hear

Coming through to me loud and clear

I never heard silence speak so loud

 

To think I said I didn’t need you

To think I lied when I didn’t want to

Still here we are so far apart

Breaking time and breaking hearts

 

I try so hard to understand

The way you think you know I am

Somewhere lost inside your memory

Love threw away our yesterday

The games we played, the nights we stayed

It’s better if I pretend endlessly

 

Right now you are where I want to be

 

Reading words of many lines

Life recalls a better time

Your eyes see with my eyes way too much

 

Distance separates my will

Reaching out to get my fill

Your hand is in my hand from a touch

 

To think I said I didn’t need you

To think I tried when I didn’t have to

Still here we are so all alone

Making shrines and making poems

 

I try so hard to understand

The way you think you know I am

Somewhere lost inside your memory

Love threw away our yesterday

The games we played, the nights we stayed

It’s better if I pretend endlessly

 

Right now you are where I want to be

 

 Life can’t change the way we are

The things we took we took too far

Cuts so deep they leave a scar in the middle of our bones

And every time we knelt to save

A life we willingly threw away

We watched our moment dissipate into the dawning of our groans

Taking everything we owned

 

Oh God I miss you so

 

To think I said I didn’t need you

To think I lied when I didn’t want to

Still here we are so far apart

Breaking time and breaking hearts

 

Oh God I miss you so much

 

I try so hard to understand

The way you think you know I am

Somewhere lost inside your memory

Love threw away our yesterday

The games we played, the nights we stayed

It’s better if I pretend endlessly

 

Right now you are where I want to be

 

Right now … I need you here with me

Two Different

TWO DIFFERENT - Written by Carroll Bryant

You walk away

Crying from the words I can not say

Nothing’s changed

I’m still the guy from yesterday

You make believe That I feel

Something that is only real to you

Not me

For certain I can see

 

We’re two different books

On a different page

Two different actors up on the stage

Two different scripts from two different plays

Two different scenes on two different days

Two different songs in two different ways

Say what you want to say

We’re two different books on a different page

 

You shake your head

Laughing hysterically at nothing I said

Eyes turning red

Rolling them side to side and placing your bet

You just pretend that it’s real

Something that I can’t feel for you

From me

For certain this is to be

 

We’re two different books

On a different page

Two different actors up on the stage

Two different scripts from two different plays

Two different scenes on two different days

Two different songs in two different ways

Say what you want to say

We’re two different books on a different page

 

We’re just two different people

With too many dreams in between

All of this reading and writing

Isn’t all what it seems

 

I know you found out all about her

But that lives in my past

And the future that you’re projecting

Isn’t going to last

 

We’re just two different people

With too many thoughts in our brains

All of this yelling and fighting

Is washing us down the drain

 

 

I know you found out all about her

But that is history

And the future that you’re protecting

Just wasn’t meant to be

 

For you

For me

For certain I can see

 

You walk away

Crying from the words I can not say

Nothing’s changed

I’m still the guy from yesterday

You make believe That I feel

Something that is only real to you

Not me

Not me

For certain you just have to see

 

We’re two different books

On a different page

Two different actors up on the stage

Two different scripts from two different plays

Two different scenes on two different days

Two different songs in two different ways

Say what you want to say

We’re two different books on a different page

 

You walk away

Crying from the words I can not say

Dancing On The Moon

DANCING ON THE MOON - Written by Carroll Bryant

There is a hush in the air tonight

Silence so still I can hear my heart breathe

The stars are like diamonds in the sky

They sparkle at will and I just can’t believe

That I’m dancing on the moon

With love in my pocket and hope on the edge of the dawn

Dancing on the moon

Where dreams are like clouds and wishes do come true

There is a song that I sing to you

In this rush of emotion my heart feels so free

The touch of the wind’s what I bring to you

It stands where I am and where you should be

As I’m dancing on the moon

With love in my pocket and hope on the edge of the dawn

Dancing on the moon

Where dreams are like clouds and wishes do come true

There is a hush in the air tonight

There is a reason why we are alive

There is a song that I sing and I

Give it to the wind and send it to you

As I’m dancing on the moon

With love in my pocket and hope on the edge of the dawn

Dancing on the moon

Where dreams are like clouds and wishes do come true

Dancing on the moon … with love in my pocket and hope on the edge of the dawn

Dancing on the moon … where dreams are like clouds and wishes do come true

Midnight Confession

MIDNIGHT CONFESSION - Written by Carroll Bryant

Midnight confession

Two lovers locked inside the moment

It’s my obsession

Nobody’s going to leave here lonely

 

The power of touching

My will isn’t strong enough

To ever resist it

This feeling is really too much

 

And I know it can grow

I tell you so

So baby, don’t let go

 

Your love burns like a light

Your body’s hot and filled with desire

You keep me so satisfied

Your love burns like a light

Your love is blinding my eyes

Your love burns like a light

 

Filled with frustration

I was searching when I finally found you

Sweet intuition

No heart could be more true

 

The magic sensation

My heart is beating madly

This inclination

I give myself to you so gladly

 

And I know it can grow

I tell you so

So baby, don’t let go

 

Your love burns like a light

Your body’s hot and filled with desire

You keep me so satisfied

Your love burns like a light

Your love is blinding my eyes

Your love burns like a light

 

Midnight confession

Two bodies coming together

It’s our obsession

Everyday becomes forever

 

And I know it can grow

I tell you so

So baby, don’t let go

 

 

Your love burns like a light

Your body’s hot and filled with desire

You keep me so satisfied

Your love burns like a light

Your love is blinding my eyes

Your love burns like a light

You keep me so satisfied

Your love burns like a light

 

 

 

Wistful Nightmares

WISTFUL NIGHTMARES - Written by Carroll Bryant

You were my beautiful mistake

I believed every one of your lies

Love was there for us to take

I was shaking in the light of your eyes

 

And I couldn’t feel my energy

It’s so real

And I couldn’t breathe

I’d steal almost everything

Your touch

And I couldn’t find my way

 

Every night I keep pretending

Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and

Every night I keep believing

Your arms are holding me

The world keeps spinning

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

 

There’s a sponge absorbing all my brains

It’s the way that you topple and fraud

And it’s driving me insane

In the fields where our romance can’t run

 

And I mustn’t hear your symphony

It’s so clear

And I mustn’t sing

I’d steal almost anything

Your trust

And I mustn’t hallucinate

 

Every night I keep pretending

Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and

Every night I keep believing

Your arms are holding me

The world keeps spinning

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

 

You were a magnificent mistake

I believed everyone of your tears

Love was easy for to break

I was shaking at the sight of your fears

 

And I couldn’t feel my energy

It’s so real

And I couldn’t breathe

I’d steal almost everything

Your touch

And I couldn’t find my way

 

Every night I keep pretending

Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and

Every night I keep believing

Your arms are holding me

The world keeps spinning

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

And all my dreams look better in slow motion

 

Slow … mo … tion
