Geoff's Evil Twin  
 
Much like a painters brush, words are tools that bring the musician's canvas to life.  I'll be posting the words to my songs here from time to time.  You'll see that sometimes they don't make sense.  But that's just like life, isn't it?  
 
 
 
Not Done with You Yet
© 2007 Geoff Ford
late night sitting by the clock
it's half past two and it goes tick tock
like my heartbeat when i'm with you
and all i really want to know
is how it felt when you let me go
want to tell you that i miss you

(chorus)
i'm willing to pretend that i don't love you
but i still can't comprehend why you won't love me back again
i want you to know that i'll go even though
i'm not finished here
i'm not done with you yet

it's one week later and i'm a mess
it still hurts more than i'd like to confess
this is the worst kind of affliction
if i'm the desert then you're the beach
you're not out of mind - you're just out of reach
sometimes life's stranger than fiction

chorus
 

Bottle
© 2007 Geoff Ford
take a look through my eyes
take a good look around
cuz there's so much here to discover

take a look through my eyes
can you see my world?
can you gimme gimmme gimme some lovin'
cuz i want it now - i want it now
i want it now - i want it now
i want it

(chorus)
i dropped my bottle - pick me up
pick it up cuz i can't
i dropped my bottle - pick me up
pick it up cuz i can't
without you - without you
i don't know what i would do
i dropped my bottle - pick me up
pick me up - pick me up

take a look through my eyes
can you see my world?
can you see your own reflection

now what do you see
when you look at me?
gotta put it all put it together
cuz i want it now - i want it now
i want it now - i want it now
i want it

chorus
 

She Comes when She Wants
© 2007 Geoff Ford
she trips me up plenty - can't help falling down
the ground shakes beneath me when she's around
gave her my heart - sometimes that's not enough
it's slow motion going when going gets tough

she comes around when she wants
when she comes it's like thunder
and she rains down on me
cuz it's her cloud that i'm under

if i could fly you know that i would
and when she's around i'd swear that i could
she can stop time with a wink and a smile
i wish she would stop here with me for a while

she comes around when she wants
when she comes it's like thunder
and she rains down on me
cuz it's her cloud that i'm under
yeah she comes when she wants
and she comes just like thunder
and she rains down on me
cuz it's her cloud that i'm under
 

Man of Action What's this about?
© 2007 Geoff Ford
the right thing to say at this moment escapes me again
and if i give up - it's not giving in
if you were dying i would die too
but i don't think that i can stay here with you

are you tired cuz i'm tired too
i'm over - i'm under but i'm not getting through
you can lie in the street feeling safe or in danger
lie in a bed all alone or with strangers
you don't need help but you do need something new

(chorus)
but you want a man
a man of action
you wanted thrills
you want attraction
you want a man
a man of purpose
a man who moves you
a man who moves you
not one who moves on...

there's no pretending when you're alone
i don't need a compass cuz i'm already home
you can be changed or defined by an action
you can get lost in the midst of distraction
you want what you want but you're not sure you know why

chorus
 

Higher Intelligence  
© 2007 Geoff Ford
can someone please help me get out of here?
cuz i can't breathe - i can breathe in this atmosphere
here it comes - here it comes - here she comes
here she comes - she comes to me
and when she comes - when she comes she sucks the air out of me
 
show me a sign of higher intelligence
show me a sign that i still have some relevance
show me that i'm not the victim of circumstance
cuz i still have love for everyone
 
i did a cannonball to make a big, big splash
this is my curtain call - this is my hundred yard dash
tell me now - tell me now am i getting through to you?
i don't know how - don't know how much more there is that i can do
 
show me a sign of higher intelligence
show me a sign that i still have some relevance
show me that i'm not the victim of circumstance
cuz i still have love for everyone
i think the world of everyone
 
can someone help me get out of this apathy
aww hell i don't care - this ain't no tragedy
and there's no danger - no loss of life or limb
and it ain't your choice but should i sink or swim?  i'll swim
 
show me a sign of higher intelligence
show me a sign that i still have some relevance
show me that i'm not the victim of circumstance
cuz i still have love for everyone
i think the world of everyone
but i think you're still my number one
 

My Baby Loves Me
© 2007 Geoff Ford
i told you once
that my baby loves me
i tell you again
that my baby loves me
don't you know what you're doing?
you better watch your step
cuz next time i won't be this forgiving

(chorus)
don't you walk away
i saw you standing with my girl
don't you ever try to play
with my baby

don't think that i'm insecure
cuz my baby loves me
and when i'm far away
i know she's thinking of me
but if i see you near her
and then you get too close
i think i might just lose control

chorus

i saw you standing with my girl
i saw you standing with my girl
don't you ever try to play
with my baby
 

Unload What's this about?
© 2007 Geoff Ford
this is not what I had in mind
this isn't working for me
this is not a runaway dream
this is my life - don't take it from me
 
(chorus)
don't unload on me
this isn't how it should be
don't unload on me
 
this is not what i had in mind
this can't be happening to me
i am not the only one who cares
at least not as far as i can see
 
i am what i am
but i'll never be anything more
if you won't let me be
and i won't be brushed aside
you can't take away my free will
cuz i am - i am free
 

Walking
© 2007 Geoff Ford
i'm walking cuz that's what i do
i'm walking away from you
i'm moving on cuz i can't go back
the bridges that i cross - they all retract

i don't want to go
cuz you're all that i know

i'm walking - i can't go back
cuz there's not enough time for all of that
but now and then i kick myself when i turn
and see all the mistakes i should have learned

i don't want to go
cuz you're all that i know
i don't want to go
cuz you're all that i know
