Diamond from Coal – The Remixes
Amazing
You’re feeling alright, it’s a sunny day
Got the radio loud, going to let it play
Got your Oakley’s on to provide the shade
Still can’t hide the smile on your face
Aint it funny
No one’s mind is on their money
But no one mind’s if that makes you happy
But all we really need is some company and were really care free
We’re alive and loud
Like a crowd going crazy
Alive and wild
Let’s make tonight amazing
You’re feeling so high that you can’t sustain
Every airplane has always got to land
You close your eyes to embrace the change
Still can’t hide the smile on your face
Ain’t it funny?
Life’s always brighter when it’s sunny
But after dark were a little more naughty
That’s when we really need some company
Because were feeling sexy
We’re alive and loud
Like a crowd going crazy
Alive and wild
Let’s make tonight amazing
So come on over
When the sun turns over
Then we going to get this party lively
Shoulder to shoulder
Hands up toward heaven
Our time is short let’s use it wisely
Now everybody scream
We’re alive and loud
Let’s get this crowd going crazy
Alive and wild
Let’s make tonight amazing
You’re feeling alright, it’s a sunny day
Got the radio loud, going to let it play
Got your Oakley’s on to provide the shade

But no one mind’s if that makes you happy

POV
It started out as any other day would
Until I saw you sitting across the table
You shyly smile and say it’s nice to meet you
Your eyes invite me to lie underneath you
You’re making it hard to focus,
When one door closes another opens
Could it be that you were sent to make me notice
A different point of view
Where everything looks beautiful from up close
Whenever I’m with you
I could get used to this point of view
It had been a while since I had such a greeting
We went ahead and penciled in a meeting
Had Mexican there were lots of people eating
While you and I were obliviously kissing
You’re making it hard to focus,
Us animals strike curious poses
Could it be that you were sent to make me notice
A different point of view
Where everything looks beautiful from up close
Whenever I’m with you
I could get used to this point of view
Were in a world that’s visual
And I’m farsighted and sometimes blind
You couldn’t look more beautiful, consume me whole, tonight
I could get used to this point of view
Chorus

Chorus
Gone
Don’t know where I am going
Only know where I’ve been
But I know those roads like
The back of my hand
Rewind, the time
Your heart beat so strong at the start
Real time, it’s a grind,
You try to hold onto the warmth
Is it gone, gone?
You were so much fun when you were young
Cause your life had just begun
Is it gone, gone?
However hard you try, you always find,
You can’t buy back the time
Remember throwing
Covers over our heads
Cup overflowing
First time I felt her skin on my skin
Rewind, the time
Your heart beat so strong at the start
Real time, it’s a grind,
You try to hold onto the spark
Chorus
The past has passed
It all just slips away
No where to cash in
Saving pennies for a rainy day …that never came
Chorus
Don’t know where I am going
Only know where I’ve been
But I know those roads like
The back of my hand
Rewind, the time
Your heart beat so strong at the start
Real time, it’s a grind,
You try to hold onto the warmth
Is it gone, gone?
You were so much fun when you were young
Cause your life had just begun
Is it gone, gone?
However hard you try, you always find,
You can’t buy back the time

Saving pennies for a rainy day …that never came
Chorus
On My Side
Having trouble believing, please send me a sign
And quite the voice that’s repeating in the back of mind
That says I can’t do it, that I can’t get it right
Time to push forward no more pushing rewind
One by one, I’ll face whatever you through me
One by one, we all fight to survive
I’m on my own, but I’m no longer ignoring
That I’m not alone, I’ve got your love on my side
On my side, on my side
When I’m wrong, when I’m right
When I’m dull, when I shine
On my side, on my side
The question we are obsessed with is why we’re alive
You see it your way and I see it mine
They say that beauty is in the beholders eye
And you can manifest destiny if you try
One by one, I’ll face whatever you through me
One by one, we all fight to survive
I’m on my own, but I’m no longer ignoring
That I’m not alone, I’ve got your love on my side
On my side, on my side
When I’m wrong, when I’m right
When I’m dull, when I shine
On my side, on my side
I’ve got my battle armor on and I am ready to fight
For my brother, I would gladly give my own life
Strength of my father and my mother help to get me through the night
When I’m gone I hope my children will remember what I’m like
High on Life
Picture your life as perfect
When you’re hurt you don’t get sad
Do you think you would be happier like that?
So what if you never earned it
And work was a word of the past
Is what your worth only counted in stacks?
Cause it’s all a game
We sign on to play
When we’re born in this life
If you had your way, everyday
Would you appreciate?
Without low, you can’t be
High on Life, High on Life
Imagine your heart got broken
But it works because it survived the toss
But it never skipped a beat to grieve the loss
So what if you didn’t deserve it
On the surface she’s supermodel hot
But underneath you knew you’d get just what you got
Cause it’s all a game
We sign on to play
Name on the dotted line
If you had your way, everyday
Would you appreciate?
Without low, you can’t be
High on Life, High on Life
No matter what you do the devil is after you
It’s all part of the deal
Tries to tear you down, make you lose your cool
So you don’t feel
High on life and it feels so right
Take a deep breath in and breathe it out
Right now
Having trouble believing, please send me a sign
And quite the voice that’s repeating in the back of mind
That says I can’t do it, that I can’t get it right
Time to push forward no more pushing rewind
One by one, I’ll face whatever you through me
One by one, we all fight to survive
I’m on my own, but I’m no longer ignoring

Right now
Stop and Go
I say goodbye get good and ready to get by on my own
My bags are packed, guitar in back, my destination unknown
Its time I made a go of it out on the road
The odds are stacked, no coming back, till I turn diamond from coal and its cold
Roadblock’s blocking
But I keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking
The stop and go
I must admit, been through some sh-t, it’s really taken its toll
My silent bravery nearly got ripped out of right out of my soul and sold
That’s just the way that it goes, so I am told
Its rock and roll, you roll with it, or pack your gear and go home but I won’t
Roadblock’s blocking
But I keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking
The stop and go
No one’s unlocking
All these doors I’m knocking on
Roadblocks blocking
So I’ll keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking
The stop and go
Let’s go, just go
I say goodbye get good and ready to get by on my own
My bags are packed, guitar in back, my destination unknown
Its time I made a go of it out on the road
The odds are stacked, no coming back, till I turn diamond from coal and its cold
Roadblock’s blocking
But I keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking

My silent bravery nearly got ripped out of right out of my soul and sold
That’s just the way that it goes, so I am told
Its rock and roll, you roll with it, or pack your gear and go home but I won’t
Roadblock’s blocking
But I keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking
The stop and go
No one’s unlocking
All these doors I’m knocking on
Roadblocks blocking
So I’ll keep clocking miles
Only stopping
To keep on rocking
The stop and go
Let’s go, just go
Windows
Eyes are the windows to your soul
You feel them flow when you lose hope
Something inside just isn’t right
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and our dreams
What’s in our eyes is everything, it’s all we need
Open the curtain
And let the light in
I know you’re hurting
Under the surface
Something inside just isn’t right
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and our dreams
What’s in our eyes is everything, it’s all we need
Eyes are the windows to our soul
You see them glow, when full of love
Oh how they shine so bright
Here tonight
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and dreams
What’s in our eyes is all we really need
Eyes are the windows to your soul
You feel them flow when you lose hope
Something inside just isn’t right
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and our dreams
What’s in our eyes is everything, it’s all we need
Open the curtain
And let the light in
I know you’re hurting
Under the surface
Something inside just isn’t right
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and our dreams
What’s in our eyes is everything, it’s all we need
Eyes are the windows to our soul
You see them glow, when full of love
Oh how they shine so bright
Here tonight
Life is short, short but sweet
We’re most alive when our eyes meet
Lost between memories and dreams
What’s in our eyes is all we really need
You Shine
Oh no thought you had this one locked up for sure
Almost, is just another door about to close
So close, to watch it all fall through your hands
But I know, someday soon you’ll get another chance
Although you’re going home, it’s alright you tried
I hope you know you glowed, in my eyes you shined
You shined, you shine
Tough luck, you thought you’d win but now you’re lost again
It’s tough love, to kick a man while he’s down on it
It sucks, but don’t you dare think you are all alone in this
Just hang tough, because someday soon you will get another chance
Chorus
Went toe to toe
And you made it far
And when you lost
It broke my heart
But you stole the show
And did your city proud
I know you’re down
You got to get back up
Chorus
You shined, so bright; in my eyes you are famous
Tonight, all your life, and now the world has seen it
Oh no thought you had this one locked up for sure
Almost, is just another door about to close
So close, to watch it all fall through your hands
But I know, someday soon you’ll get another chance
Although you’re going home, it’s alright you tried
I hope you know you glowed, in my eyes you shined
You shined, you shine
Tough luck, you thought you’d win but now you’re lost again
It’s tough love, to kick a man while he’s down on it
It sucks, but don’t you dare think you are all alone in this
Just hang tough, because someday soon you will get another chance
Chorus
Went toe to toe

And when you lost
