artsykeren I love this album so much. I first heard Jet Spark's music in the indie film mad world. I had to find her music after watching that film. I looked everywhere and thankfully I found it here! This album was there for me when I was going through a rough time in high school. Thank you Jet Sparks for the amazing music. Favorite track: The Bigger Your Heart....

You're the star of all my summer pictures smiling, squinty-eyed and sunburn-skinned somewhere on a golden stretch of roadside of one of the states that we were in. You're the one I rode with through the desert played with in the sea and in the sand We were headed in some right direction but you never know just where you'll land. Mondays always come August days turn to Autumn Leaves that floated once sink down to the bottom. You're a flash of gold in my old memory though it wan't very long ago Yearning turns the moments into lifetime and time keeps getting faster as you grow but somewhere on a golden stretch of roadside you're still holding up a tattered sign It says, "Darlin', come back, I still love you!" but that place is only in my mind and Monday will always come August will always turn to Autumn and my heart that fluttered always sinks down to the bottom!

I've been seeing what some would call the devil for most of my life The devil isn't so hard to find Still its fires couldn't burn like the furnace of my mind. "Don't go into that darkness!", they say, "Don't go into that deep, deep darkness! Don't go into that darkness! Don't go into that sweet, sweet darkness!" but it feels better on my eyes I feel safer in the dark, I can wear the night's disguise Anyway, why don't they get it right? You can go- just don't go gentle into that good, good night!

Blue Schwinn 03:07
I've been watching you ride through this town on your blue Schwinn with the wheels just goin' round and I know it's a very strange thing to do but I was just wondering who you're riding to… Little boy, I 'aint got no one riding home to me tonight I was sorta hopin' it would be alright if I could just watch your wheels spin and dream of some love riding home to me again...

Even if it's true and they will never understand helps me get through because I know you can And if it appears as a smile on my face know it's been years since it's been in place and that you are the one who put it there. Now each day I watch you walk out in that world full of fools I feel like a mother the first day her kid goes to school 'cause it can be so defeating- the bigger your heart the bigger the beating! but everyone knows it's those scars that build up what's cool everyone knows it's those scars that build up what's cool everyone knows that it's those with the scars who get cool and your scars are beautiful.

Forgive Me 03:35
Forgive me, forgive me, my heart doesn't play kind with others It's caused me such trouble with many sweet boys and their mothers It leads them away with the sugar and then makes them stay with the spice and proves what they say about "everything nice" 'ain't true so forgive me, forgive me for everything I've done to you. Sometimes I just can't help but wishing' that we were still children Lovin' was easy, and baby, so was forgivin' but I blew it back in that sandbox, I threw it all in your face just so I could run off, replacing you with a fool so forgive me, forgive me, my heart doesn't play by the rules. I know it's all over now, I've ruined the chance of someday and I guess, if it's best, I'll leave you alone- this is the last thing that I'll say: Forgive me, forgive me, my heart doesn't play kind with others Please don't speak too badly about me in front of your mother She seemed so happy about us, she thought I was somebody good but some things don't work out like they should and I let her down, too Oh, won't you forgive me, 'cause baby, I can't forget you.

I like the wind in my hair, you've got the wind in your sail If we both play fair, this plan can't fail Let's set ourselves a course to the middle of the ocean tomorrow If I could get you alone, I swear I could get rid of the sorrow! Are you a sailor, my dear, can you harness the sea? If the coast is clear, then come away with me 'cause you never really know how the weather will be faring tomorrow but if you're lookin' to get lost in the fog, please allow me to follow! I know the bells will ring, I know what they'll be for- not for a wedding, but to call us to shore and I'll be bringin' you back to the old town saloon tomorrow 'cause baby, I'm not lookin' to own, I'm just lookin' to borrow If I could get you alone, I swear I could get rid of the sorrow If I could get you alone, I swear I could get rid of the sorrow!

Life is uncertain- better eat dessert first! I'll be your fountain- obey your thirst! When you come over, I'll be your lover from now on Let's live it up now, we're getting closer to gone! In the beginning, there was the word Now there's so many that nothing's heard Let's lose the letters, do something better with our breath Dance with me, darlin'- we're getting closer to death! Let's eat some cake and jump in the leaves We don't have to rake and we can do what we please It could all get blown away, anyway! So stay by my side just for today I know we can't hide, but we can play like children at Christmas pondering presence before dawn Shake it up, baby- we're getting closer to gone!

While I was sleeping last night you let yourself in You walked right inside without breaking in You were lurking 'round the house, invading my space and I liked it, I liked it, I… Well, tonight I slung enough beer and fries to go out and get myself a surprise So I went to the record store, bought your new songs Now I'm home alone drinking and singing along and thinking that one could be about me then thinking of all the girls thinking the same thing Oh, well- back to the music and I liked it, I liked it, I liked it, I… I feel like a fool- my face is all wet from tears that I cry for what I can't forget but they have to be dry before he gets home 'cause he hates when he finds me with you, all alone He's wondering if one could be about me and I wonder how many guys wonder the same thing Aw, hell- it's only music and I like it, I like it, I...
