ALL THROUGH TIME
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Do you watch her when she's sleepin'
Do you hear the dreams she's keepin'
Do you drive for miles to see her face
Where you're happy in this place.
Chorus: Can you tell her what you're thinkin'
Can she hear your thoughts creepin'
Through time, doin' the time.
Do you feel like a lucky man
Do you always fly up so high
Do you wear your boots and your black jeans, yah
'Cause she likes it like that.
Chorus
Your crawlin' down the road
Your sweatin' the silence of the roaring soul
Brace yourself your gonna find the way
Oh, what the hell, please ask me to stay.

SHE DON'T CARE
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Watch her dress fall from her shoulders
to see that she don't care.
Tonight she'll sing facing the tomorrows
ya you know it don't seem fair.
She's not the bookends on the shelf
or a flat drink with no spark.
She's gonna show ya how to walk
with the legs to stop a clock.
Chorus
And she don't care
keep movin' through the red light at dawn
People talk, turn around, watch your back
Your souls in despair.
She drinks from a tall stemmed glass
filled from the top shelf.
She swings her long, long, hair back
with her nails all set to go.
Her dress too high above all that's good
with those heels she could reach the sky
She strolls downtown with her hazy stares,
but then she waves bye bye.
Chorus
And she don't care
keep movin' through the red light at dawn
People talk, turn around, watch your back
your souls in despair (repeat)

MISUNDERSTOOD
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
I look through the screen to see a picture out of focus
I watch it turn green and then to black and white
My eyes wide open to a breath of air in flight
I wonder why you came, came here tonight.
The visions are clear, but the ice is still melting
I'm skating through glass trying not to fall
But go right ahead, go ahead and face it
Stand right up, stand right up tall.
Chorus
And you know, you know you're good
Don't you feel you're misunderstood
Can't you see how you could
Don't you know you're misunderstood.
Images of your lasting impressions
All caught up in my, my scattered mind
Frame it up, keep it in place, lock it up and swallow the key
We're goin' for a ride can't you see. Ooh yeah
Chorus
And you know, you know you're good
Don't you feel you're misunderstood
Can't you see how you could
Don't you know you're misunderstood
And you know, you know you're good
Don't you feel you're misunderstood
Can't you see how you could
Don't you know you're misunderstood
Your misunderstood, ya see how you could
Be misunderstood, you're misunderstood. Ya

BE MY BABY (Velcro Paper)
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Close that gate, keep it straight
Try to compensate the pain
Scream out loud, crawl on a limb yah
Tie me down with velcro paper
Watch me drown with roots on my feet. Ooh, yeah
Chorus
Be my baby, he said "what's your poison"
Be my everything go wild, go crazy
If you wanna be my lover, why don't you slow down.
Throw back a well drink, ya feel it slide down
Make your way back to the place you were before
Fight to win, but not without a grin
Loose your inhibitions to a dirty little clown
Baby, don't come back around ooh ya ya ya
Chorus
Be my baby, he said "what's your poison"
Be my everything go wild, go crazy
If you wanna be my lover, why don't you slow down.
Slam the back door, open your eyes
Not everyone has x-ray vision
Even though you know they try.

WATCH THE WORLD
(Words & Music By: Peter Grenier)
I'll tell you tails that may never come true
And I'll tell you dreams that are all about you
I'll tell you where the story begins
And I'll tell you where the story ends
Chorus
But for now turn down those lights
And turn the music loud, loud, loud
Let's get higher than the clouds above
And watch the world spin round and around.
Now I can sense you're a little uneasy
And I can sense you're a bit frightened too
I'm gonna show ya the colors of the rainbow
You don't even have to know what to do.
So for now... Chorus
You look a little lonely, you look a little shy
You look a little cold, you're always wonderin' why.
Never understood the grand scheme of things
You always ran blind you could never be king
You jump on a plane you're crawlin in the rain
You're laughin' at the sky, you're feelin the pain.
Shake it off, don't turn me away
We'll ride it out together, we'll see better days.

TASTE THAT WATER
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Well I'm sittin here takin a long look around
tryin to keep a straight face I grinnin
But by the time you walked by with that look in your eye,
I'm all about to crack I'm willin
Hey Hey Hey, Hey Hey Hey Hey
He said let's go for a walk where they just don't ask
what's all over your face it's written
He wrapped his arm around her waste it was all too much to take,
one of these days I'll be winnin. Oh Oh Oh, Oh oh oh
Chorus
Won't you go, you can taste that water
You came made to order now
I don't know why I would follow you some how.
He said talk is cheap but you're oh so sweet
Maybe you'll dance with me tonight
Go ahead stay up late
I can't stick around for you to operate
Oh baby, you makin me crazy. Yea ya

LOVE ME UP
(Words & Music By: Peter Grenier)
She said love me up love me forever
Love me till the sun goes down
Love me up love me forever
Don't wait for the moon to come round
She said take me down to the river's edge
Bring us a bottle of wine
Let's search for the wonders of the world
No telling what we might find
I wasn't sure if the time was right
If my words would be untrue
When I turned to look in my baby's eyes
She said this is all that you gotta do.
She said don't you like the way the air feels
I like it blowin' thru my hair
And the sun feels warm against my skin
I guess she just didn't care
Cause she took off her clothes and she ran thru the field
Right down to the water's edge
As I watched her fly by so gracefully
This is what she said

HOLD ON
(Words & Music By: Peter Grenier)
Hold on hold on there's too many questions tonight
Hold on hold on the colors change with the light
Look to the light to the withering sky
You touch me
And all my fears just fall into the sea
The beauty that surrounds you is all that I feel
And time has no meaning when this is so real
Hold on, hold on I can get you thru this night
Hold on, hold on just rest your weary eyes
Lay down beside me and look in my eyes and tell me
Do you believe in a life that breathes thru love
Well, I believe, yes I believe you're the only one for me
Your tenderness and loneliness has been brought home to me

LIVE TO BREATHE (Where Do We Go)
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Where do we go from here
The pages are not so clear
Where do I scream your name
It doesn't matter, it's all the same
Chorus
But ya don't show your pain
And ya don't cry in shame
You do what you do to me, yah
You've got to live to breathe
Ya go to the city
Makes it all worth while
This hotel is empty, but you can think for a while (to chorus)
Ya know it rains in April and flowers bloom in June
But ya haven't got time to see them soon
I wonder through the shaded path
That has been this way for years.
I can't explain the delusion, the delusional fears.

IT ALL BEGINS
(Words & Music By: Carrie Grenier)
Ya fall into town, with no one around
Ya chase the blue sky to the edge
And you watch her face turn red
You've got this whole life
Carbonating to the fullness of the moon.
And all that you see is the sparkle left before you
And I think a change will explore you.
Chorus
And your feet hold back to the moves
That you've made along the way
The lines on my blue jeans
Shadows making their way
And it all begins to fade.
So you take one last look
At the plans that you've made
Now how does it look with new eyes
Closed tight as we begin the flight. (chorus)
Now that you've come through
I just can't believe it's true
And I wander through this world
That I try to hold on to. (chorus)

RUBY
(Words & Music By: Peter Grenier)
Oh Ruby, where did you go
Ya left me here all alone, oh Ruby
The times have changed you've seen it all
I don't believe you could ever fall, oh Ruby.
Refrain: The world to me its a lonely place
We must believe in this human race
Every now and then we feel torn apart
The world so rough it could break your heart.
Chorus: But Ruby there's a light up ahead
It shines for you, you deserve the best, oh Ruby. (final: Oh Ruby, Ruby, Oh Ruby)
The magic that you have shown to me
All the stories and the tragedies of the history, of the universe.
You will always be the one who comforts me
Your passion and your sincerity
The love the faith that you've shown to me
were everything I could ever need.
Oh Ruby, will you think of me
Will your tails be told through eternity do you get lonely.
If you ever need me by your side just call me up, oh anytime. Oh Ruby (refrain to chorus)

WITHOUT YOU
(Words & Music By: Peter Grenier)
I can walk across a desert
I can sail across the sea
I can work until my fingers bleed
But it won't mean a thing to me
Without you oh, without you
I walk the streets of Paris
I could sun in southern France
I could lunch along the Cote D' Azur
Without a second glance
But I won't, I won't without you
No I won't, I won't without you
Refrain: Another night and your so far away
I'll have to wait 'till sunlight brings another day.
Bridge: It took so long for me to see the light
And now I know that I was wrong and you were right
I could race in Monte Carlo
I could stand out in the rain
I could lie in bed forever
I could take away your pain
But I won't, without you.
I can stand out in the cold
And whisper out your name
I can feel your breath upon me
I'll never be the same without you.
