Dry Lines
written by Avy Summerlind, copyright 2002
tell me I’m off the hook
too late, cuz now I’m waiting for you
take your hands off the table for good,
and I’m left holding much more than I should
and your denial’s rehearsed
you follow smiles
with dry lines well versed
don’t leave me here with this
I’m better off when I’m by myself
you wear me down with words that don’t help
I sit alone to think it over
as you let me go
and all those things I said
oh, you were never really there
and all the things I said
fell on the desperate
fell on the desperate
fell on the desperate
and your denial’s rehearsed
you follow smiles
with dry lines well versed
and all those things I said
and all those things I said
fell on the desperate
and all the things I said
fell on the desperate
fell on the desperate

Not Anywhere
written by Avy Summerlind ©2002
for one last line
i’d take you over
the good time
i know i’m owed
you disappeared
so i’m not going anywhere
near it again
for some good find,
i’ve got you’re number
tattooed here behind my heart
tied to fear
so i’m not going anywhere
near it again
a fight to feel
what’s left,
but i’m not feeling
comfort that’s here
to stay
you disappeared,
so i’m not going anywhere near it again

Pacific
written by AvySummerlind ©2002
I know you’re in L.A.
I saw you, I saw you
I hear all they say
about you, about you
they don’t want you to forget
they don’t like it when you sleep
for hours and hours and hours
only trying to forget where you came from
here they always see you coming
here they always see you coming
I know you’re in L.A.
I saw you, I saw you
I wish I could stay
to watch it
to watch you
wash away
they come and go
and wash away
they come and go
and come and go
and come and go
and wash away
I saw you, I saw you
wash away
they come and go
and come and go
and come and go
and come and go
all to wash away

I Don’t Believe
written by Avy Summerlind ©2002
you cut me off cold
and said I was born to lose control
and still have desire to hold on to
but I need a reason
to keep you with me
you’re hardly forgiven
but that’s what you wanted all along
because if I keep holding on
you won’t have to so hard
but I need a reason
to keep you with me
I don’t believe
and you don’t believe me
how much for that one
go over it slowly word for word
if you promise that’s the answer
it’s yours, it’s yours
but I need a reason
to keep you with me
I don’t believe
and you don’t believe me
come on, come on
take it
I don’t believe
and you don’t believe me

Fall Apart
written by Avy Summerlind ©2002
I can’t believe you if you don’t let me
I can’t be there for you if you don’t need me
you live your life like I do when I’m dreaming
you inspire, though I keep it as my secret
and just because I feel something for you
you want to stand in my way
and you always go when all I need for you to do
is hold my hand and say that you’ll stay
I know I seem so small
I act this way to show off all my reason for escape
I have become…I need someone…
just show me so it doesn’t fall apart
I will so slowly come undone
when kindness fades and meaning wears away
when kindness fades and meaning wears away
