Last Flight Home [Todd Sucherman]

  Last Flight Home Written by Todd Sucherman and J.K. Harrison Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman The crew is late, they’ve changed the gate And now the systems are down Seen nine time zones in thirty days And I’m on hold again The bags aren’t gonna make it, but I don’t care if they do As long as I can just make it home to you My head’s on my pillow Your head is on my shoulder And our daughter’s in slumber If I could catch a break I’ll be on the last flight home I need some sleep, and something to eat I guess its the vending machine No place to think, can’t even get a drink Only one bar on my phone Don’t want the same hotel room, I’ve been displaced there before I am caught in a spell, so I’ll dream of home some more My head’s on my pillow Your head is on my shoulder And our daughter’s in slumber If I could just catch a break I’ll be on the last flight home Kiss our girl for me she’s wondering where her daddy’s been Tell her it won’t be long, I know she waited up for me My head’s ...

Sacred Book Of Favorite Days Written by  Todd Sucherman and J.K. Harrison Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman I see you smile I see your pretty face and I see through the ages I hear you laugh I hear your funny laugh and I know it’s contagious I’m sitting here turning pages In my Sacred Book of Favorite Days Favorite Days One thing remains You’re on every page I kiss your lips I kiss your honey lips and I, I just can’t take it I wander back Through colored memories and I know it’s outrageous I’m sitting here turning pages In my Sacred Book of Favorite Days Favorite Days One thing remains You’re on every page I dedicate this book to you It’s filled with dreams you can’t undo I read your mind I hear your deepest thoughts and I’m floating inside them When I’m with you You turn the smallest room into wide open spaces I’m sitting here turning pages In my Sacred Book of Favorite Days Favorite Days One thing remains

Ad Lib Everything [Todd Sucherman]

  Ad Lib Everything Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman She burst onto the stage before her scene, swearing elegantly Well, she was too good to be true and too true to be good But a lady with a past needs a man with a future Drawn to the flame of this aberration Forgetting that trouble starts out as fun There’s no point in memorizing the words We’ve all been cast in the theater of the absurd Horror and relief are never far from each other Sometimes a shock is required to know you’re not dead She came with a warning you couldn’t heed She’ll swallow you whole and then spit out the seeds There’s no point in memorizing the words We’ve all been cast in the theater of the absurd There’s no time for run throughs, we’ve already begun Just step into the spotlight, baby, you’re on I asked her, “What time is it?” She said, “It’s now” I said, “Perfect, cause ‘never’ ain’t ever started a thing” No snare in stolen words well rehearsed Ad Lib Everything We’ll brave every...

An Invitation [Todd Sucherman]

Image
An Invitation Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman You are cordially invited to attend my final exit All the town’s sinners will be there Manor born and squalor torn at elbows to the fair They’ll gasp and they’ll jeer at the unfortunates here Miscreants out of time Eyes to the ground, they’ll proceed to the sound of the clock’s final chime The sands of time will soon be mine, my dear A final gaze into your eyes I’m that falling tear- oh, I’m that falling tear Jewel of the Grail, cloaked under veils in a gilded cage of fear The imprisoned kiss you can’t resist is here Her howl in the night gave me the right to tangle with the swan The moon, a distant voyeur, vanishes by dawn The sands of time will soon be mine, my dear A final gaze into your eyes I’m that falling tear- oh, I’m that falling tear High above these anguished moors, with stars perched to remember The lights, now sealed, I’ll hold my breath ’til the glorious ever after Here and gone, now beyond, but st...

It's Perfection [Todd Sucherman]

It's Perfection Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman 5 foot 9 in four inch heels, she’s over your head but never makes you feel small Long blonde hair swings left to right, drifting away in her endless eyes you fall She knows to shift from cool to coy, so as not to scare the boys Knows where every eye is focused, but pretends not to notice Oh, are you ready for perfection Oh, get ready for perfection It’s perfection Finishes your sentences, she can volley back anything you serve her A clever girl ahead of the curve but she never makes you feel you don’t deserve her As you kiss her, lean against the door, she parts her pillow lips and sighs for more She can stop the world from turning, she can end the years of yearning Oh, are you ready for perfection Oh, get ready for perfection It’s perfection Perfect chemistry, perfect symmetry, perfect poetry, perfect harmony Zero gravity, crazy energy, she holds the master key to set me free Oh, are you ready for perfection ...

The Damage [Todd Sucherman]

  The Damage Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman Cigarettes, candy bars, and a bottle of Hendrick’s The traveling minstrel sings, he’s got a few hat tricks I’ve been around a thousand years, I’ve whispered in a thousand ears I wish I were oblivious to the damage around me I wish I weren’t responsible for the damage around me Beautiful, innocent, she thought she could tame me But before the paint had dried, she’d already framed me Tried to stay but colors run, or they fade from the sun I wish I were oblivious to the damage around me I wish I weren’t responsible for the damage around me A beautiful flower torn to shreds, trying to figure out if we love each other You can’t force it, if it doesn’t fit If you lose yourself you can’t find another Oh, I wish I were oblivious to the damage around me I wish I weren’t responsible for the damage around me I wish I weren’t I wish I weren’t I wish I weren’t… responsible

She's Red Velvet [Todd Sucherman]

She's Red Velvet Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman The Princess gave me access Passed security to the vérité Certain, drew the curtain To her secret place- the smile beyond her face Now she’s let me in I’ll never leave I’m the trick that’s up her sleeve She’s red velvet And from the day we met, I’ve been hell bent I can’t replace her, I’ll have to chase her Red velvet girl Birthday— it’s her worst day Though she feels on trial, she leaves them all beguiled Lights up when I turn up Though I’m just a pawn, I’m her favorite song When I sing to her she hums along Then, she reads my rights and wrongs She’s red velvet And from the day we met, I’ve been hell bent I can’t replace her, I’ll have to chase her Red velvet girl

Do You Know Me [Todd Sucherman]

Do You Know Me Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman Night falls, and so do I Nothing to hold It wasn’t always this bad—maybe it was But this time I feel the end And so, I’m asking “Please…leave on a light” Let me know I’m not alone, even though I am Give me a sense of connection Do you know me? ‘Cause I don’t One thing I promise you: I’ll never leave Even though I slip away into the night My shadow knows no doubt Do you know me? ‘Cause I don’t

I Can't Use Them Anymore [Todd Sucherman]

I Can't Use Them Anymore  Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman Above the waving flames, snowflakes of ash Scatter in the wind like a lost idea Put the fire to bed, clear the dust inside your head Kick away the cage- you’re free Under city lights, I’m still running But somehow my shadow beats me there So, take these dreams and trade ‘em in for anything ‘Cause I can’t use them anymore I’ve been a prince or a fool for one too many kings The skies are finally clear, but I’ve got broken wings The pictures under glass, they’re just presents from the past I’m folding up these memories And you could fix it all if you’d just hold me But can you see me through your tears? So, take these dreams and trade ‘em in for anything ‘Cause I can’t use them anymore Oh, tear the flesh from my bones I just need to feel again Till the soil again, and plant the seeds, my friend And what we’ve left to reap could be beautiful

Kindling [Todd Sucherman]

Kindling  Written by Guy Garvey, Craig Potter, Mark Potter, Pete Turner Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman Had a circular saw blade Where I should have had a heart I was trusted, I adored her And I tore it all apart Twin moons on a millpond From a tumbledown barn I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms I could fold to the cold of these January streets But your smile in the half light is pure pillow print cheek I will be far away for awhile but my heart’s staying put Warming and guarding and guiding the one that I love Warming and guarding and guiding the ones that I love The silence and the waiting and the rush of all aboard Fifty should to a carriage and I’m trying hard to be ignored Then my telephone shakes into life and I see your name And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train And the wheat fields explode into gold
