Just Between Us, Friend
(Stefanie Schumacher)
Thinking ‘bout you every time I go to work
Wondering where to draw the line, not play the jerk
Everybody knows we like to fool around
But as time goes by I think it’s time that I found out
Still you keep me guessing, so I’d better start confessing
(chorus)
Just between us, friend
I wanna know where this will end
Just between us, friend
Round and round we go again
Just between us, friend
I wanna know where this will end
Just between us, friend
Round and round and round we go
You’ve got your husband
He’s waiting for you and you’ve got a baby boy
All I ever wanted for you was to have a little joy
When we started we were playing and everything was cool.
Now I’m not so sure I start to feel just like a fool.
Maybe I care too much. How I long to feel your warm touch.
(chorus)
Still you keep me guessing, so I’d better start confessing

Colleen
(Stefanie Schumacher)
She wants love
She looks to Mom and Dad, but they don’t understand
It’s not enough! Being trapped in a small-town, mid-west land
And at the games, she makes them happy with her smile and her moves
They didn’t know. With her convictions that she’s got something to prove
(chorus)
Colleen always wanted to be happy
Leaving for a new life with her lover by her side
Colleen...Do you know just what you’re doing?
Never thought that looking in the sun could blind her eyes
The bright lights of the city turned to white lines on her tray
The sun did rise! The mid-west plains seemed to call to her by name
She couldn’t wait to see the faces of her family and her friends.
She didn’t know. She didn’t understand beginnings have to end.
(chorus)

Another One Of You
(Stefanie Schumacher)
My best friend’s in love, but it’s with another
She’ll never know what she could discover with me….It’ll never be
She walks in the room and there’s no need for lighting
She’s so radiant any time that she’s smiling so bright...so very bright
(chorus)
Oh I could never hurt you ‘cause you mean that much to me
I’d never come between the two of you, baby, can’t you see?
I sometimes wish that I’d never met you, but that’s just not true
I only wish I could find another one of you
Another one of you to share my love with
Another one of you to live my life with
Another one of you I’ll never find you’re one of a kind
People we meet think we’ve got something going
They start speculation without even knowing the truth...They’re so confused.
Our friends know we’d make the most perfect of couples
If only they’d realize the pain and the trouble there’d be, so it’ll never be
(chorus)

The Difference Between Walking And Five Minutes
(Music – Stefanie Schumacher, Lyrics – Stefanie Schumacher and Geoff Logsdon)
Open your eyes
What time is it now?
Do you move? Do you stay? Will they put you away? Do they even know how?
You are now what you like. I am now what you hate.
Oh tell me please tell me, is it ever too late?
Go outside then come back in again
It won’t change a thing in your pattern of motion
Nothing ever happens right on schedule
A victim of reality...unsynchronized
(chorus)
It’s the difference in walking and five minutes
It’s a cat and mouse game, but the cat and mouse just aren’t in it
Like the changing of the guard at the queen’s house
What does one wear to such an affair?
Does the difference seem important? Is it really there?
Glance at your feet...A move understood
Why does the earth have to turn for the sun to go down?
Another day...glides into history
Are you just gonna sit there and let it go by?
(chorus)
Uh oh. No go. Too bad.
No sun. No one. That’s sad.
Why he? Not me. No fair!
It’s like it’s always there…..it’s always there
It’s the difference in walking and five minutes
You must make the decision to try and get to the finish
Time and motion...defiant lies...futility’s good exercise
Does the difference seem important? Is it really there?
IT’S ALWAYS THERE!

Vision In My Eye
(Stefanie Schumacher)
I’ve got a vision in my eye
I’ve only known you for a little while, girl you stole my heart
The time that we spend together… Oh I hope it never has to stop
If times had been different the situation might have made us more than friends
The time that we spend together...Oh I hope it never has to end
(chorus)
I’ve got a vision in my eye
She’ll never know the reason why
I only wish that she could see
All of the things she’s done to me
It always troubles me to see you passing by without a smile
You are a woman who is worth walking a hundred million miles
(chorus)
I just want ya to be happy
So I guess I’ll have to keep on saying to ya
(chorus)

The New
(Stefanie Schumacher)
When it started we were like two children with a brand new toy
But it fell apart it fell apart
We’d go walking hand in hand sharing sorrow sharing joy
But you broke my heart just broke my heart
What am I gonna do when I’m losing you?
What am I gonna say when you’re gone?
Loving you made me see the world in such a brand new way
But it’s all gone bad it’s all gone bad
What am I gonna do when I’m losing you?
What am I gonna say when you’re gone and I’m all alone
(chorus)
Well, you think that you really hurt me
But you better think again
‘Cause I found a way to make it to the end
You thought that you left me crying in a pool of misery
But before I drowned I let the new wash over me
Worked all day trying to the music that would change our lives
But it’s all gone bad it’s all gone bad
What am I gonna do when I’m losing you?
What am I gonna say when you’re gone and I’m all alone
(chorus)
What am I gonna do when I’m losing you?
What am I gonna say when you’re gone and I’m all alone
(chorus)

Love Affair
(Stefanie Schumacher)
I’ve always waited for the chance to meet you
With every passing minute of each day
But every time I thought I saw you coming
You always seemed to turn the other way
The autumn sky was bluer, leaves were falling
There was a new fresh crispness in the air
Suddenly I though I heard a calling
My apprehension grew when you were there
(chorus)
Love affair I don’t know if I trust you
I’ve always listened to the lies you told
You spin me round I don’t know where I’m going
Love affair don’t leave me in the cold
Many years have passed and still I fear
Seems that I may live this life alone
I had so many chances, could not take them
One look at you I’m chilled right to the bone
(chorus)

Self-Appreciation Party
(Stefanie Schumacher)
Years ago we would get together
In the water when we had bad weather
Standing there looking at each other
With the thought that we would be brothers
(chorus)
Thanks for inviting us so nice to see you
A self-appreciation party really suits you
One day you came to listen to us play
Just the same...how’d you like our new bus?
Ain’t it sad we had to go our own way
So we could see if we could make it someday
(chorus)
The facade that you’re playing
They don’t know what you’re saying
But we go back to Pharr and this is our reply….We say…
(chorus)

Mirrored Reflection Of You
(Stefanie Schumacher)
Time running swiftly towards another day
Another day passes in our lives
Seeing each other without open eyes
We never know what we should do
Hiding emotion we’re too afraid to show
Each other’s nightmares are beginning to come true
I look in the mirror and I’m shocked that I see you
A mirrored reflection of you
Remembering back to when I was a child
Laughing and playing every day
Waiting to see your car pull in our drive
Wanting to see your smiling face
But something has happened where’d that smile go
Did I do something wrong?
Now it seems you only want to be alone
A cracked mirrored reflection of you
Father forgive me
I’m not like you
I only wanted for my feelings to show through
Now I’m grown my days of youth have passed me by
So many years we’ve thrown away
Open your eyes to me and listen when I say
Out of love this song’s for you
A mirrored reflection of you
My father’s child is what I am
For good or bad we both know it has come true
I’m just a mirrored reflection of you

Stop It!
(Stefanie Schumacher)
We sit around and watch picture drawn in mystery
Thinking back to simpler times...No cares, no worries
But the times have changed. Don’t you ever watch the news?
Hoping that it’s not too late...we’ve everything to lose!
(chorus)
And we’ll stop it when we want to, but till then we’ll let it be
Going through the motions like we’re in some sort of trance
Yeah we’ll stop it when we want to, but till then just wait and see
Never showing, never knowing that we need another chance
Walking through the lush, green woods you’d never know what’s wrong
Everybody sing about it in all your protest songs
Let we hit the city, see the garbage, hear the babies cry
No good housing, people hungry, never knowing why
(chorus)
Stop it. Stop it. 1 2 3…
(chorus)
(chorus)
Stop it! Stop it! I said, “Stop it!”
I said, “Stop it! You gotta hear me stop it. Whoa! Stop it!”
