“ The music I wrote for this song was originally spawned from a Bossa Nova drum beat, native of Brazil. So, with that in mind, I allowed my imagination to run wild, and it led me to a beautiful girl drinking coffee in a magnificent setting.”
Would’ve never thought her to be the kind of girl
To move so quietly, yet shine so brightly in return
Would’ve thought she didn’t care
Threw caution in the air
By the way she dressed, caressed herself while sitting there
She had eyes like diamonds
With a soul to bear the pain
Sex like weapons, though I’m just imagining
CHORUS:
Even if I turn away forever
I’d still see her face with every breath I take
Even if I walked away without her
She’d still be with me every step
Even if it’s all a dream, it’s my reality
And I’ll choose to stay awake or stay asleep
Even if it all goes down, I know yet and still
That I saw Heaven drinking coffee in Brazil
Would’ve never thought her the aggressor
But it became so plainly evident when she sat next to me
Would’ve thought it a mistake, she’d laugh and walk away
But instead gave me her address, a time, and a note said ‘don’t be late’
With her eyes like diamonds
And a smile to ease it all
Love like oceans
No telling how deep one could fall
Chorus
Surreal (featuring Leiah)
(1999)
“ One of the few duets I’ve written, and the first song I ever wrote on the guitar. Coming out of an unhealthy relationship, I wanted to deliver an abstract account of the emotions involved when the attraction between two people relies on conflict. “
Anduze:
Take it or leave it, it’s the best I can do
You choose to feel your feelings when you want to
Don’t try to fall behind
The surface was broken for the better
I’ll try to realize when I would not let you be
PRE CHORUS:
Is it in my head? To make matters worse…
I walked along the edge, to make matters worse…
CHORUS:
So surreal, this experience that I feel
So surreal, the way I feel
Leiah:
You took your chances
You spoke your mind so freely
I can’t tread water long enough to make you see
Don’t try to pull ahead
The surface was broken for the better
I’ll try to realize when I would not let you be

Lose My Way
(3/15/2001)
“ Objective here was a catchy acoustic tune that was heartfelt. “
I’m so blinded by the way you look at me
So intricately pure
And it’s amazing how the world can tell
You’re all that I adore
Can’t be held accountable for how I am
When she’s the only touch I can feel
Maybe I should turn away, just up and leave
When nothing around my appears to be real and…
CHORUS:
I lose my way
Every time I get my head on straight
I’m only trying to compensate for love
Listen to my heart and I swear you’ll hear
The whispers of my soul
It’s so different when you’re next to me
I swear I can’t let go
You have this way about you constantly
You make every moment stand still
Sometimes I feel the earth beneath us
Spin out of control, and…
Chorus
BRIDGE:
We’ll protect each other when this world comes crashing down
I’ll keep wandering thru this maze, ‘til there’s no chance
Of being found
Chorus
