Stay Awhile |

Hell on earth ain’t hard to find
But you can save me from mine
Stop the time’s bayonet
From stabbing all that’s delicate
I won’t be afraid of growing old
If I have you hand to hold
I’m looking for eternity
Will you find it with me
Please stay awhile
Show me how to smile
Please stay awhile
I am not a great man
But I’ll give you all I can
I’ll be the lashes on your eyes
Catch every tear that you cry
Please stay awhile
Show me how to smile
Please stay awhile
Let’s fill this room with empty coffee cups so we don’t ever have to go to sleep
Because if I close my eyes I fear tomorrow won’t let this day repeat
My life’s been filled with turned out lights and haunted by the hurt of closing doors
Let’s turn the locks and lose the keys because I don’t want them open anymore
I see you in an antique wedding gown and me slowly walking down the aisle
Won’t you be the mother of my child so I can see you every time she smiles
So please stay awhile
Please stay awhile

Written by Erick Baker Published by Two Left Feet Music (ASCAP)
A life of let me downs
I’ve had to live
The world I grew up for
I had to give
Lost in a routine
The sand in my shoes
Forgotten every night
That I lie by you
That I lie by you
I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me
Broken promises
I’ve had to take
And possibilities
I’ve had to fake
Choices that I’ve made
I can’t undo
Forgotten every night
That I lie by you
That I lie by you
I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me
I feel like I am finally someone
Who can do all the things I haven’t done
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me
Hold on to me
I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying with me
I feel like I am finally someone
Who can do all the things I haven’t done
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me

Not Enough |
 |

Written by Erick Baker Published by Two Left Feet Music (ASCAP)
You taught me to cry
With your cross-fingered lies
But you were telling the truth
When you said goodbye
You taught me to see
Love’s treachery
When it let you forget
So easily
Was there something I could’ve said
To fill your empty side of the bed
I promised to love you, no matter how tough
But sometimes love’s not enough
You taught me to feel
What I thought was real
But your love was just pain
Well concealed
There was nothing that I didn’t do
No mistaking the fact that I love you
All I had wasn’t enough
Was there something I could’ve said
To fill your empty side of the bed
I promised to love you, no matter how tough
But sometimes love’s not enough
You taught me to cry with all your lies
The only truth you told was goodbye
You showed me love's infidelity
When you found someone so easily
I’ve learned so much without you touch
Now I know that you can never give too much
There was nothing I could’ve said
No it’s no longer your side of the bed
I found someone who loves me no matter how tough
And my love is enough
Yes, my love is enough

My Two Left Feet |

Written by Erick Baker
Published by Two Left Feet Music (ASCAP)
You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life
All your crooked teeth
Make a perfect smile
I’d buy a wall full of clocks
If it would stop time for awhile
I love to watch your mouth
Move with the words of the songs
And I don’t care
If they’re right or wrong
You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life
Love is like water
Shaped from the shores that it meets
Your delicate fingers
And my two left feet
Me in my stiff Sunday clothes
Pressed starched pants
We’ll keep the light at our backs
And watch our shadows hold hands
Please hold my hand
Because you look so good when your dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when your dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life
Can I have this dance with you
Can I have this dance with you
For the rest of my life

When Will I Be Loved |
 |

Written by Erick Baker
Published by Two Left Feet Music (ASCAP)
My crown of roses
Is filled with thorns
And the sleeve where my heart is
Is old and worn
I guess the time of my life
Is running late
And I don’t know how much longer
I can wait
For your phone calls, four walls, at nightfall, in your bed
So my bruised ears will not hear the one clear thought in my head
When will I be loved
The older I get
The younger I want to be
Why do I fall
So easily
For your phone calls, four walls, at nightfall, in your bed
Now my bruised ears can just hear this one clear thought in my head
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Let’s dance in the dust
Of another one of our days
I hope that tomorrow
I will find a way
I’ll find a way
To your phone calls, four walls, at nightfall, in your bed
So my bruised ears can just hear this one clear thought in my head
I am being loved

Do I Ever Cross Your Mind |
 |
| |
Written by Erick Baker
Published by Two Left Feet Music (ASCAP)
Blessed are those who can forget
And all those who haven’t been hurt yet
But I am damned, there’s nothing I can do
Because I fell in love with you
Do I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
Cause I can’t seem to get you out of mine
I won’t you to know that I am not well
Riding memories in circles on your carrousel
You’ll never miss me the way I miss you
Because the love of my life is just a girl I once knew
Do I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
Cause I can’t seem to get you out of mine
