Bigger
These things I can’t control
I’ve gotta let it go
It’s better left alone
Say something
Say something
Some things we can’t control
No matter how it goes
Whether you’re right or wrong
Say something
Say something
When there’s tension in the sky, we don’t mention it
Who’s to blame, You and I, we got differences
Feels like I’m walking on some eggshells
You call, I never get the message
You’re picture perfect
What’s the hurt that you’re hiding
You get defensive when we talk
You deny it
What happened to the love we had
When we started
We gotta stop all this nonsense
Said you don’t but you always do
They always tell you lies when you need the truth
Well maybe it’s just me cause it can’t be you
What can I say
Can I have your attention
I understand yeah we all got our problems
It’s gonna take more than words just to solve em
I’m tryin to find a common ground with ya
From the jump I’ve been down with ya
These things I can’t control
I’ve gotta let it go
It’s better left alone
Say something
Say something
Some things we can’t control
No matter how it goes
Whether you’re right or wrong
Say something
Say something
I wish you’d say something
I wish you’d say something to me
I wish you’d say something

Rolling clouds
Roaring thunder
Trying to pull me down
Drag me under
When the cards are on the table
The odds are stacked
Your hearts all in
There’s no turning back
Putting on your game face
And leaning in
It all comes down to this right here
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
The wolves are out
Surround like vultures
With the smell of blood
Within their clutches
Their closing in quick
Time is running out
Got your back against the wall
And Your filled with doubt
They think that you’re all done
And they’ve got you trapped
That’s the moment when you attack
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
Down and out
Down and out
They’re thinking that I’m
Running out, running out
But I’m about to let it out, Let it out
Cause when you try and hold me down I rise
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
We will rise up
Against the dying of the light
Love will fuel the fire and ignite us
We got the moment in our eyes
We will rise
Roaring thunder

Oh Oh Oh Oh
I bought a ticket to a train
To take me somewhere far from here
And I found myself on aero planes
But they all led me back to here
Had to open up my mind to let the
Answer sink in
And for a moment
I just know it
And this is what I’m thinking
Ahh it’s killing me
Ahh it’s meant to be
Even if the stars refuse to shine
We got a reason
Even if our hearts beat out of time
We can find the meanin
And they say that everything it happens for a reason
And if you ever start to wonder why
You are the reason.
I saw a sunset in the rain
It made my mind think differently
I felt the grace of joy and pain
And I wouldn’t change a thing
Had to open up my mind to let the
Answer sink in
And for a moment
I just know it
And this is what I’m thinking
Ahh it’s killing me
Ahh it’s meant to be
Even if the stars refuse to shine
We got a reason
Even if our hearts beat out of time
We can find the meaning
And they say that everything it happens for a reason
And if you ever start to wonder why
You are the reason
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are the reason
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are the reason
I was down and put on luck
was down and out on love
Till you came a long
I was barely hanging on
You opened up my eyes
To the beauty in this life
Even if the stars refuse to shine
We got a reason
Even if our hearts beat out of time
We can find the meaning
And they say that everything it happens for a reason
And if you ever start to wonder why
You are the reason.
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are the reason
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are the reason
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are the reason
Didn’t know if we would make it
It’s Hard to see the bright in dark times
Didn’t stop us all from dreaming
Knowing that we still had our whole lives
We were searching for a meaning
For a reason that we’d find in due time
Didn’t know how far we’d take it
Didn’t know if we would be alright
I know we made mistakes
But we were kids
We were kids then
And we might do it again
That’s how it is
I know that we’re gonna be ok
Neon lights are gonna guide the way
We used to run this city run this city
Turn the night into the morning
I know sometimes you’re gonna be afraid
I’ll be by your side right here the whole way
We used to run this city run this city
Like we owned it
And you know that we still do
Yeah you know that we still
Now we wake up every morning
Every day the same thing a new grind
Passes by without a warning
Blinked our eyes and ten years had gone by
I know we made mistakes
But we were kids
We were kids then
And we might do it again
That’s how it is
I know that we’re gonna be ok
Neon lights are gonna guide the way
We used to run this city run this city
Turn the night into the morning
I know sometimes you’re gonna be afraid
I’ll be by your side right here the whole way
We used to run this city run this city

Fight! You know you got to Fight
Pouring out emotions
Swimming in deeper oceans
Barely hanging on for life
Caught in a commotion
Pressure that’s pushing on me
Moving in from side to side
One time, One life
You gotta make the most with what you’re given
Two times, Sometimes
You got to do it twice if what you want is worth keeping
No crying, no crying
You know it ain’t easy and you best believe it
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Fight! You know you got to learn to fight
For what you want and think is right
You’ve got to live to feel alive
Fight! It’s hard sometimes to see the signs
But when you’re down you’ve got to rise
You know you got to learn to fight
There’s no use in hiding
Waiting in the silence
Say your mind, you can be brave
Living for the instance
Thinking about the riches
Instead of living for the day
One time, One life
You gotta make the most with what you’re given
Two times, Sometimes
You got to do it twice if what you want is worth keeping
No crying, no crying
You know it ain’t easy and you best believe it
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Fight! You know you got to learn to fight
For what you want and think is right
You’ve got to live to feel alive
Fight! It’s hard sometimes to see the signs
But when you’re down you’ve got to rise
You know you got to learn to fight
Fight! You know you got to learn to fight
For what you want and think is right
You’ve got to live to feel alive

You know, never been this low
Too proud, to let my feelings show
Just want to talk to put my mind at ease
I know, you’ve never been more sure
It’s time, to open other doors
Still I can’t be without you, baby please
Is it just the color of your hair?
Is it just the smile that you wear?
I’m gonna get you back I swear
Oh Oh
Spend my night driving round in my car
Wondering who you’re with, where you are
I don’t even know where to start
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Calling you standing outside your house
‘Member when, we were just starting out
Now I really wanna kiss your mouth
Ah-ah-ah-ah
All I want, all I want, all I want
Is to kiss your mouth
Been a while, And I’ve been thinking
All I want, is you to forgive me
Am I too late, or have I asked too much?

What just happened here
Where’s the bond we share
How come no one cares
What are we gon’ do?
I can see your face
Something’s out of place
Pushing me a way down
You won’t break me down
I’m holding my ground
You won’t break me down
Oh
You can’t change my mind
I won’t fall in line
You won’t break me down
Oh
We can rise above
We can find the love
You don’t have to bleed
Turn it all around
Let’s make history
Build a legacy
It’s who we’re meant to be now
You won’t break me down
I’m holding my ground
You won’t break me down

Oh
Oh
Oh
People’s guards are up
Are there only in it for themselves
Scared to open up
Afraid of getting hurt by someone else
The grass is always greener
Chasing dreams
And running from their lies
Is everyone as jaded?
Won’t make a move
Until they see a sign
Tell me how you live without love
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Help me find a way to open up
Cause I don’t want to live without love
So tell me how you feel about lust
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Seems like everybody’s giving up
But I don’t want to live without love
Without love, without love
Without love, without love
Don’t know what we want
But we know that we want it now
It’s the ghost in us
Don’t wanna be the one who gets let down
The grass is always greener
We want the prize
But we don’t have the time
Happy is overrated
Too content to draw outside the lines
Tell me how you live without love
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Help me find a way to open up
Cause I don’t want to live without love
So tell me how you feel about lust
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Seems like everybody’s giving up
But I don’t want to live without love
Without love, without love
Without love, without love
So tell me how you live without love baby
Tell me now I need to know I’m really going crazy
Tell me where we’re going where we’re going baby yeah yeah

Tell me now I need to know I’m really going crazy
Tell me where we’re going where we’re going baby yeah yeah
So tell me how you live with out love,
Without love
Without love
Are there only in it for themselves
Scared to open up
Afraid of getting hurt by someone else
The grass is always greener
Chasing dreams
And running from their lies
Is everyone as jaded?
Won’t make a move
Until they see a sign
Tell me how you live without love
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Help me find a way to open up
Cause I don’t want to live without love
So tell me how you feel about lust
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Seems like everybody’s giving up
But I don’t want to live without love
Without love, without love
Without love, without love
Don’t know what we want
But we know that we want it now
It’s the ghost in us
Don’t wanna be the one who gets let down
The grass is always greener
We want the prize
But we don’t have the time
Happy is overrated
Too content to draw outside the lines
Tell me how you live without love
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Help me find a way to open up
Cause I don’t want to live without love
So tell me how you feel about lust
Tell me how it’s gonna be enough, bae
Seems like everybody’s giving up
But I don’t want to live without love
Without love, without love
Without love, without love
So tell me how you live without love baby
Tell me now I need to know I’m really going crazy
Tell me where we’re going where we’re going baby yeah yeah
Love
So tell me how you live without love baby
Tell me now I need to know I’m really going crazy
Tell me where we’re going where we’re going baby yeah yeah
So tell me how you live with out love,
Without love
Without love
Holding Out For Hope (Acoustic)
Live
Holding Out For Hope
She’s an original O.G. gangster
Born in summer of ‘22
Fell in love with a first-class soldier
Who was headed for world war 2
She didn't want to say goodbye
But she knew that it was time
Gave him one last kiss for freedom
Baby do what you got to do
In the blizzard of ‘67
She was dancing all through the streets
Fought the fires across the Mystic
Up in Chelsea in ‘73
And the smoke filled the sky
But she didn't even cry
She was singing the Sounds of Silence
She was rolling into the deep
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don’t see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
And nothing’s certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I’m holding out for hope
She had a big imagination, was dreamer from the start
But the Lennon assassination took a little piece of her heart
When the stock market crashed
She bought a pink Cadillac
She went cruising with her sister Sally
Took up ride up to the stars
Chorus
Michael Jackson in a sequin glove
Sixteen candles and the breakfast club
Careless Whispers turned to Tainted love
Smashing pumpkins into Third Eye Blind
Marky Mark is wearing Calvin Klein
Britney hit me baby one more time
Chorus

Woke up in a town without a name
These motel rooms all look the same
One look around and then I’m gone
But I’ll be back before too long
Someday soon that’s gotta change
300 miles of open road
299 to go
Foot on the gas and off the break
Your memory is keeping me awake
Just static on the radio
And everywhere I go, there’s beauty in the unknown
Hey Miss Carolina, make me wanna spend the night
you pull me in, I drop everything
Hey Miss California, lay with me we’ll spend the morning
Sleeping in - I’ll drop everything to be with you
I’m sorry I forgot to call
It’s been a while, it’s not your fault
I wish that I could stay for more
I’m always one foot out the door
but you don't blame me, not at all
And everywhere I go, there’s beauty in the unknown
Chorus
No promises, no sad goodbyes
We’ll rendezvous without the ties
I only want to be with you, I only want to be with you
We’ll fall in love just for today
Wouldn't have it any other way
I only want to be with you, I only want to be with you
Chorus
Say hey Miss South Dakota, really like to get to know you
Where you been, I’ll drop everything
Hey Miss Massachusetts, really like the way you move it
Pull me in, I’ll drop everything to be with you
These motel rooms all look the same
One look around and then I’m gone
But I’ll be back before too long
Someday soon that’s gotta change
300 miles of open road
299 to go
Foot on the gas and off the break
Your memory is keeping me awake
Just static on the radio
And everywhere I go, there’s beauty in the unknown
Hey Miss Carolina, make me wanna spend the night

Hey Miss California, lay with me we’ll spend the morning
Sleeping in - I’ll drop everything to be with you

Chorus
Say hey Miss South Dakota, really like to get to know you
Where you been, I’ll drop everything
Hey Miss Massachusetts, really like the way you move it
Pull me in, I’ll drop everything to be with you
I’ll keep throwing bottles into the ocean
I’ll keep writing letters with no return
I watch them float away from me
And drift out into the sea
I’ll keep sailing to the edge of the earth
To the edge of the earth
Every night and everyday
I beat my heart against the wall
It doesn’t bend, it doesn’t break
I beat my heart against the wall
There will never be a sweeter sound
Then these bricks tumbling down
Till the day that you call
I’ll beat my heart against the wall
We all play this game for different reasons
They want fame but all I want is you
White noise on a TV screen, is that all you think of me
Can you hear the static? Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Chorus
I know the air is cold
Can you hear my echo?
And though your hard to hold
Words they won’t be hollow
Chorus
I’ll keep writing letters with no return
I watch them float away from me
And drift out into the sea
I’ll keep sailing to the edge of the earth
To the edge of the earth
Every night and everyday
I beat my heart against the wall
It doesn’t bend, it doesn’t break
I beat my heart against the wall
There will never be a sweeter sound
Then these bricks tumbling down
Till the day that you call
I’ll beat my heart against the wall
We all play this game for different reasons
They want fame but all I want is you
White noise on a TV screen, is that all you think of me
Can you hear the static? Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Chorus
I know the air is cold
Can you hear my echo?
And though your hard to hold
Words they won’t be hollow
Chorus
November Rain
Seasons are changing
And I’m holding on to you
The skies are gray
I aint complaining
Cause the sun is shining through
Our hearts beat with the rhythm
Blaming and forgiving
Dancing to our favorite song
Flowing like a river
Touch me and I shiver
Baby you still turn me on
Holding on to something beautiful
It’s always hard but the choice is ours
Love like this is so unusual
Although we change our love will stay the same
We’re renegades
We’re not afraid to take
The backstreet avenues
Old Chevrolet
The hood is rusted but the engine runs like new
Chorus
Our hearts beat with the rhythm
Taking and were giving
Dancing to our favorite song
Flowing like a river
Touch me and I shiver
Baby you still turn me on
Seasons are changing
And I’m holding on to you
The skies are gray
I aint complaining
Cause the sun is shining through
Our hearts beat with the rhythm
Blaming and forgiving
Dancing to our favorite song
Flowing like a river
Touch me and I shiver
Baby you still turn me on
Holding on to something beautiful
It’s always hard but the choice is ours
Love like this is so unusual
Although we change our love will stay the same
We’re renegades
We’re not afraid to take
The backstreet avenues
Old Chevrolet
The hood is rusted but the engine runs like new
Chorus
Our hearts beat with the rhythm
Taking and were giving
Dancing to our favorite song
Flowing like a river
Touch me and I shiver
Baby you still turn me on
Seven minutes, will we make it to the daylight
Overrated, understated no that aint my type
World is spinning like a wheel inside a cyclone
Stimulated, complicated, just a rolling stone
You got under my skin
How did I let you in?
Was I alive before?
I know we’ll be dancing when the music dies
I promise tonight, I will still be holding you
After the party is over
Place is empty, and the crowd is gone
Say it with me, I will still be holding you
After the party, after the party is over
Oh
After the party is over
Face to face just a taste of a breakthrough
new religion, tunnel vision all I see is you
Neon lights fill the sky as we surrender
Take me home and make this moment last forever
You got under my skin
How did I let you in?
Was I alive before?
Chorus
I know that you’re the one
We’ll make forever fun
We won’t have to pretend
When it’s all said and done
There’s no one else I want
I’ll hold you till the end
Chorus
Overrated, understated no that aint my type
World is spinning like a wheel inside a cyclone
Stimulated, complicated, just a rolling stone
You got under my skin
How did I let you in?
Was I alive before?
I know we’ll be dancing when the music dies
I promise tonight, I will still be holding you

Chorus
I know that you’re the one
We’ll make forever fun
We won’t have to pretend
When it’s all said and done
There’s no one else I want
I’ll hold you till the end
Chorus
Can you repeat that I didn’t hear what you said?
It’s like a smoke screen filling up in my head
I’m dodging all the bullets, triggers when I pull it
Am I only fooling myself
Started my own fires, laid down with the liars
Secrets that I’ll never tell
Seems like I always take it the wrong way
Down a darker hallway
Inside, deeper where the demons hiding
Always take it the wrong way
Spin it so it’s sideways
Cross eyed, see it in a different light
Oh Oh
I didn’t mean that I didn’t mean what I said
I couldn’t hear you with all the noise in my head
Rushes like an ocean
Dangerous emotions
Drowning and I can barely breathe
Its something I imagined an over reaction
Consequence of this disease
Seems like I always take it the wrong way
Down a darker hallway
Inside, deeper where the demons hiding
Always take it the wrong way
Spin it so it’s Sideways
Cross-eyed, see it in a different light
Oh
Stop this, you know better
Just stop this, you’ll regret it
Just stop this, hit reset and just stop
Chorus
It’s like a smoke screen filling up in my head

Chorus
I saw the sun come up in South Africa
I heard a children’s choir singing in Rome
I sailed the shores of Spain
Danced in London rain
Sweet chariot, carry me home, carry me home
Don’t say that
Only the young can chart the map
Believing that they are the only ones
The only stars in the sky
Don’t hold back
Race like a train running off the tracks
We’re reckless but dreamers will never die
With you I’m coming alive
I waited for your call
At the great china wall
I thought I heard someone whisper your name
Central Park in June
The roses smell like you
You’re a mystery
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
Chorus
These castle walls have seen it all
Through fairy tales and wars
So shine your light
Don’t spend your life
Locked behind the doors - oh oh oh
Chorus
I heard a children’s choir singing in Rome

Chorus
Well the guilt is filling up your mouth
But you can’t seem to spit it out
It’s a poison running through your veins
It’s a promise given, wrapped in chains
Well your world is made of make believe
And there’s always something up your sleeve
And the truth is hanging by a string
And I’m so sick of listening
I don’t want to hear excuses
cause they’re useless
Your words are a villain
Out for the killing
I don’t want to hear excuses
I aint stupid
Cause your words have no meaning
You keep on bleeding excuses
Excuses - excuses
Well you’re speaking through a loaded gun
And your pointing it at everyone
In your fairy tale turned tragedy
And your love’s become the casualty
Chorus
I’m sorry is all you had to say
But you can’t, so I just walk away
Chorus
But you can’t seem to spit it out
It’s a poison running through your veins
It’s a promise given, wrapped in chains
Well your world is made of make believe
And there’s always something up your sleeve
And the truth is hanging by a string
And I’m so sick of listening
I don’t want to hear excuses
cause they’re useless
Your words are a villain
Out for the killing
I don’t want to hear excuses
I aint stupid
Cause your words have no meaning
You keep on bleeding excuses
Excuses - excuses
Well you’re speaking through a loaded gun
And your pointing it at everyone
In your fairy tale turned tragedy
And your love’s become the casualty
Chorus
I’m sorry is all you had to say
But you can’t, so I just walk away
Chorus
I was lost and alone
Just a stranger in an empty home
I would hide from the light
Trying to bring my spirit back to life
I don’t want to stay inside forever
I ain’t gonna wait for sunny weather
Standing in the rain I’ll take a chance on you
Crash into me like a bolt of lightning
A single strike was perfect timing
Everything to gain and nothing left to lose
I won’t hideaway
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Your new to me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
We’ll find a way
Chase this feeling everyday
It’s you and me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
I was safe in the dark
Always been my own house of cards
Built the walls paper thin
Knowing someday I would let you in
I don’t want to stay inside forever
I ain’t gonna wait for sunny weather
Standing in the rain I’ll take a chance on you
Crash into me like a bolt of lightning
A single strike was perfect timing
Everything to gain and nothing left to lose
I won’t hideaway
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Your new to me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
We’ll find a way
Chase this feeling everyday
It’s you and me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
Just a stranger in an empty home
I would hide from the light
Trying to bring my spirit back to life
I don’t want to stay inside forever
I ain’t gonna wait for sunny weather
Standing in the rain I’ll take a chance on you
Crash into me like a bolt of lightning
A single strike was perfect timing
Everything to gain and nothing left to lose
I won’t hideaway
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Your new to me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
We’ll find a way

I won’t hideaway
Wave goodbye to yesterday
Your new to me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
We’ll find a way
Chase this feeling everyday
It’s you and me
I see tomorrow in your eyes
It drags me down, locks me up
Keeps my heart from feeling love
Leads me out, pulls me in
Wraps me up inside of sin
It’s taken hold of me
And I can barely breathe
Letting go, is not so easy
Maybe you could rescue me?
I’m drowning in an empty sea
This is an emergency
It’s shallow but I’m in too deep
Throw me a life line
I hope it’s in time
Cause I’m sinking fast - oh
Maybe you could rescue me
So I hide where I feel safe
Too scared to open up the gates
And though you try to hold me close
Behind these walls my heart is closed
It’s taken hold of me
And I can barely breathe
Letting go, is not so easy
Chorus
Rescue Me from myself from this hell
I’ve been living in
so why can’t I ask for your help?
Keeps my heart from feeling love
Leads me out, pulls me in
Wraps me up inside of sin
It’s taken hold of me
And I can barely breathe
Letting go, is not so easy
Maybe you could rescue me?
I’m drowning in an empty sea
This is an emergency
It’s shallow but I’m in too deep
Throw me a life line
I hope it’s in time
Cause I’m sinking fast - oh
Maybe you could rescue me
So I hide where I feel safe
Too scared to open up the gates
And though you try to hold me close
Behind these walls my heart is closed
It’s taken hold of me
And I can barely breathe
Letting go, is not so easy
Chorus
Rescue Me from myself from this hell
I’ve been living in
so why can’t I ask for your help?
I said g-d damn
When I came across your picture, mm hmmm
Made plans
On a Tuesday night to meet you, mm hmmm
But I don't really know much more than your name
So strange
Not in person first impressions, mm hmmm
Head games
One-word answers to my questions, mm hmmm
But I’m feeling you more than I can explain
I thought it was a chance for us
I wasn't gonna make you rush
But then you took it all the way
No shame yeah you left when you came just admit it
Why you gotta leave me this way?
No strings you ran out with your things in a minute
Now you’re just another mistake
Baby you got the power with the things you don’t say
I’m Taking cold showers just to wash you away
No shame yeah you left when you came - just admit it
Why you gotta leave me, why you gotta leave me this way?
Wild thing
Only driven by temptation, mm hmmmm
It stings
never got an explanation from you
And I don’t know what to do with all of this pain
I thought it was a chance for us
Maybe more than just a crush
But then you took it all away
Chorus
I’ve been burned more than once
no on even thinks twice
Can’t find the truth in acceptable lies
Not a shred of remorse in your ravenous eyes, oh no
Chorus

Put my faith
In hopes that second chances
Come my way
And change my circumstances
Help me cross
All these London Bridges
On the road to paradise
Don’t drag your feet when your dancing around destiny
Don’t hold your breathe when the water drags you in too deep
Turn your wounded heart into shooting stars
Don’t drag your feet when your dancing around destiny
Its hard to love
And lay down my defenses
And open up no that’s not my intention
To shut you out
Hide behind these battle scars
Chorus
Oh, I may have fallen a thousand times
Oh, With no warning signs
Chorus
In hopes that second chances
Come my way
And change my circumstances
Help me cross

I moved in closer with a careless whisper said baby I just want your sex

I told myself that ima be the goat
Woke up early started training like a pro
Sometimes I feel like I’m bench pressing the globe
Driving an empty road
But it’s something deep in my soul
That’s Telling me I should go
If I ever wanna unfold
The treasure the future holds
Not the jewels and the gold
But something that’s worth more
I gotta bright light
And they don’t want me to glow....
But ima give em a show
I got winner in my DNA
I got, I got, I got fighter in my bloodline
Prepared to go battle any given day
I’m a warrior so put me on the front line
I came from a lineage of kings
No sleep but I gotta big dream
Ima be a legend I made it up in my mind
Gotta set all of the records in the book before I die
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don’t see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
And nothing’s certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I’m holding out for hope
No matter what I keep pushing for what I aim to be
Life is hard but I face it my silent bravery
Look fear in the eye and I told him it ain’t no shaking me.
That’s the number one cause of our complacency.
Can’t be affected by whatever people think
You could be physically free but mentally still retreat
This is what I’m created for
Everything that I was meant to be
Before I die I wanna make more of these memories
Chorus
Dark nights make bright days
When all else fails we still find ways
Gotta pocket full of dreams full of goals
I refuse to lock in the closet and never let em grow
I’m let them fly high we gone decorate the sky
I’m let my light beam every time I ride by
Until I hear the bell ring and they say I’m out of time
When the smoke clears they gone have my hand held high
Chorus
Woke up early started training like a pro
Sometimes I feel like I’m bench pressing the globe
Driving an empty road
But it’s something deep in my soul
That’s Telling me I should go
If I ever wanna unfold
The treasure the future holds
Not the jewels and the gold
But something that’s worth more
I gotta bright light
And they don’t want me to glow....
But ima give em a show
I got winner in my DNA
I got, I got, I got fighter in my bloodline
Prepared to go battle any given day
I’m a warrior so put me on the front line
I came from a lineage of kings
No sleep but I gotta big dream
Ima be a legend I made it up in my mind
Gotta set all of the records in the book before I die
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don’t see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
And nothing’s certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I’m holding out, I’m holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I’m holding out for hope
No matter what I keep pushing for what I aim to be
Life is hard but I face it my silent bravery
Look fear in the eye and I told him it ain’t no shaking me.
That’s the number one cause of our complacency.
Can’t be affected by whatever people think
You could be physically free but mentally still retreat
This is what I’m created for
Everything that I was meant to be
Before I die I wanna make more of these memories
Chorus
Dark nights make bright days
When all else fails we still find ways
Gotta pocket full of dreams full of goals
I refuse to lock in the closet and never let em grow
I’m let them fly high we gone decorate the sky
I’m let my light beam every time I ride by
Until I hear the bell ring and they say I’m out of time
When the smoke clears they gone have my hand held high
Chorus
Willing to Try
Woke up with my headphones on
Just singing my favorite song
Oh yeah, the hangover’s gone
Cause I got it going
No line at the coffee shop
Latte with double shot
no way it won’t hit the spot
Cause I got it going on
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Oh oh
On and up and all over town
The sun is out and the top is down
Lifting me (hold) up off the ground
Cause I got it going on
I float like a butterfly
Weightless in paradise
Like Jimi I kiss the sky
Cause I got it going on
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Dem biddies are at my back
Cross their fingers and set the trap
You know I don’t go for that
Cause I got it going
You could never walk in my shoes
My opinion is headline news
I wrote a check and I paid my dues
Cause I got it going on
Chorus
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Just singing my favorite song
Oh yeah, the hangover’s gone
Cause I got it going
No line at the coffee shop
Latte with double shot
no way it won’t hit the spot
Cause I got it going on
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Oh oh
On and up and all over town
The sun is out and the top is down
Lifting me (hold) up off the ground
Cause I got it going on
I float like a butterfly
Weightless in paradise
Like Jimi I kiss the sky
Cause I got it going on
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Dem biddies are at my back
Cross their fingers and set the trap
You know I don’t go for that
Cause I got it going
You could never walk in my shoes
My opinion is headline news
I wrote a check and I paid my dues
Cause I got it going on
Chorus
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Never ending care
And in need of repair
It’s a timeless affair
Hearts Breakdown
Many sleepless nights
When there’s no wrong or right
It’s a murderous fight
Hearts Breakdown
Love, love
Ain’t nothing gonna change it
No, no
Only hope to rearrange it
So, so
Better get used playing a game that isn't fair
Born to battle with a fragile heart
Torn and tattered from the start
Nobody said it would be this hard
Hearts Breakdown
Hush my darlin’ said don’t you cry
I’d hold you close but my hands are tied
God only knows all the reasons why
Hearts Breakdown
It’s a high that you get
From a lit cigarette
It’s the worst kind of bet
Hearts Breakdown
Like a shot in the dark
How can you hit the mark
When there’s fire with no spark
Hearts Breakdown
Love, love
Ain’t nothing gonna change it
No, no
Only hope to rearrange it
So, so
Better get used playing a game that isn't fair
Chorus
And in need of repair
It’s a timeless affair
Hearts Breakdown
Many sleepless nights
When there’s no wrong or right
It’s a murderous fight

Chorus
It's been a while, been a while since we’ve been here
All the years in between seem to disappear
Its kind a strange, kind a strange how time gets lost
Pick it up in the place where we left off
All along, you’re never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Settle down, I settled down
and cashed em in too soon
And live it up like a boss
in my living room
All along you're never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Since these days are numbered
I’ll be staying younger inside my head
Memories on the stereo
I don’t want to let ‘em go, turn ‘em up instead
F You lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were 18
Our favorite song plays on and on, we were 18
That crazy love, can’t get enough, we were 18
All the years in between seem to disappear
Its kind a strange, kind a strange how time gets lost
Pick it up in the place where we left off
All along, you’re never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18

That crazy love, can’t get enough, we were 18
She sleeps with makeup on
Skinny jeans are painted on like always
Some things she won’t confess
And always shows up overdressed at parties
High heels and push up bra
She rocks a knock off Louis Viton on Mondays
Selfies in fancy cars
She poses like a movie star on Broadway
Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love
The Girl You Think You Know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
Sunglasses to disguise
They hide the sadness in her eyes
It’s cloudy
Two shots to numb the pain
Her emptiness she can’t explain
She’s drowning
Chorus
I know there’s more to her
Behind the painted veil
Underneath this fairy tale
There’s beauty in her smile
It’s gold and real to me
That’s the girl I choose to see
The Girl You Think You Know
Is so affected
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
It’s always scripted
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
Skinny jeans are painted on like always
Some things she won’t confess
And always shows up overdressed at parties
High heels and push up bra
She rocks a knock off Louis Viton on Mondays
Selfies in fancy cars
She poses like a movie star on Broadway
Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love
The Girl You Think You Know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside

They hide the sadness in her eyes
It’s cloudy
Two shots to numb the pain
Her emptiness she can’t explain
She’s drowning

I know there’s more to her
Behind the painted veil
Underneath this fairy tale
There’s beauty in her smile
It’s gold and real to me
That’s the girl I choose to see

Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
It’s always scripted
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
Ten hour snooze before the morning alarm
All you can eat Coors and Caviar
That’s you - yeah you
An open lane in a traffic jam
A red headed treasure buried in the sand
That’s you - yeah you
We’ll be dancing
1 2 3 4 - OH
Pajamas and your Jimmy Choos
I’ll spin you right round, baby round
With you every day is the weekend
Hey - we’re dreaming
5 6 7 ways
We’ll build a snowman in LA
Rent our own private island
With you every day’s the weekend
Stuck in the mud, you’re my four wheeled drive
A 24/7 break from 9 to 5
That’s you - yeah you
A shortcut in a marathon
A first class cherry-scented Swedish massage
That’s you - yeah you
Chorus
Hey, cancel all your plans
Grab your pink Ray Bans
Meet me at the Taco stand
With you every day is the weekend
Take me to paradise
Tequila to my lime
I love losing track of time with you every day
With you everyday
Chorus
All you can eat Coors and Caviar

Chorus
It’s getting old
Running after something I can’t hold
Doing everything that I was told
And never asking for
What I really want and really need
It’s getting cold
I can start to sense it in my bones
Acting like a stranger in my home
I know it’s time to leave
Won’t let this feeling get the best of me
Oh, Living in between the lines
Oh, Running in and out of time
Sundown but there’s light in the sky
West bound where the stars collide
Maybe we’ll make it to California
Maybe we’ll lose but I’m willing to try
Blind luck and a matter of time
I’m gonna wake up where a dream never dies
Maybe we’ll make it to California
Maybe we’ll lose but I’m willing to try
Thought I was brave
Paddled out to catch a tidal wave
Only had the nerve to watch it break
And let it pass me by
But I‘ll never know the reasons why
Oh, Living in between the lines
Oh, Running in and out of time
Chorus
Something out of the ordinary
Close my eyes and read the signs
Make this life extraordinary
Let all the colors shine
Chorus
Running after something I can’t hold
Doing everything that I was told
And never asking for
What I really want and really need
It’s getting cold
I can start to sense it in my bones
Acting like a stranger in my home
I know it’s time to leave
Won’t let this feeling get the best of me
Oh, Living in between the lines
Oh, Running in and out of time
Sundown but there’s light in the sky
West bound where the stars collide
Maybe we’ll make it to California
Maybe we’ll lose but I’m willing to try
Blind luck and a matter of time

Make this life extraordinary
Let all the colors shine
Chorus
You and me, we keep digging ourselves down deeper in a hole, whoa oh
I can’t believe we’ve been letting this good thing spin out of control, whoa oh
Shaking like a southern twister
Stranded on a runaway train
Bitter like a jealous sister
Caught inside a hurricane
Please forgive me now
And ride the wave of ups and downs
Please forgive me when I’m wrong
You see from higher ground
F or me you’ll have to dumb it down
Please forgive me when I’m wrong
Cause I’m Wrong a lot now
I’m on my knees busy picking up broken pieces off the floor, whoa oh
I beg and plead as I watch you go in slow motion out the door
Shaking like a southern twister
Stranded on a runaway train
Bitter like a jealous sister
Caught inside a hurricane
Chorus
Pearls and diamonds in your eyes
You’re my designer drug
Baby I’m sorry please don’t take away your love
I can’t believe we’ve been letting this good thing spin out of control, whoa oh
Shaking like a southern twister
Stranded on a runaway train
Bitter like a jealous sister
Caught inside a hurricane
Please forgive me now
And ride the wave of ups and downs
Please forgive me when I’m wrong
You see from higher ground
F or me you’ll have to dumb it down
Please forgive me when I’m wrong
Cause I’m Wrong a lot now
I’m on my knees busy picking up broken pieces off the floor, whoa oh
I beg and plead as I watch you go in slow motion out the door
Shaking like a southern twister
Stranded on a runaway train
Bitter like a jealous sister
Caught inside a hurricane
Chorus
Pearls and diamonds in your eyes
You’re my designer drug
Baby I’m sorry please don’t take away your love
Roll past the jealous signs on a charcoal road
Don’t cross the yellow line like your mama told
Born in the 70’s, Grease and stereo
Gone are the simple days where the hell did they go?
Into the unknown - like a backwards rolling stone
We got lost on winding road
1500 miles from a place called home
And it’s cold when you’re always getting burned
Baby hit the brakes - and make a U turn
Sleep when you dream too big for a little town
Leave with a perfect plan I’m gonna chase it down
Hope can be dangerous like a strangers kiss
Girl can you promise me there’s something more than this
Into the unknown - like a backwards rolling stone
We got lost on winding road
1500 miles from a place called home
And it’s cold when you’re always getting burned
Baby hit the brakes before we miss our turn
It’s hard when your innocence is gone
Lost just like the lyrics of a Henley song
It’s a haul (in the dark), we’re just living while we learn
Baby hit the brakes - and make a U turn
Blinded by the rain
Begging for a change
For the Sun to come along
Anywhere I go
I’m always close to home
With you where I belong
Oh oh oh oh
Chorus
Don’t cross the yellow line like your mama told
Born in the 70’s, Grease and stereo
Gone are the simple days where the hell did they go?
Into the unknown - like a backwards rolling stone
We got lost on winding road
1500 miles from a place called home
And it’s cold when you’re always getting burned
Baby hit the brakes - and make a U turn
Sleep when you dream too big for a little town
Leave with a perfect plan I’m gonna chase it down
Hope can be dangerous like a strangers kiss
Girl can you promise me there’s something more than this

It’s a haul (in the dark), we’re just living while we learn
Baby hit the brakes - and make a U turn
Blinded by the rain
Begging for a change
For the Sun to come along
Anywhere I go
I’m always close to home
With you where I belong
Oh oh oh oh
Chorus
Where did you go
I don’t know
It all started with excitement
Now tell me how they high went to low
Was it a show?
Was it just for your amusement?
To leave me all confused with this
Does she like me - does she like me not?
She’s too hot
Does she want me - does she want me not?
Got no shot
Maybe you’re something too wild to control
Baby it burns when fire turns to coal
Maybe you’re something too wild to control
Or maybe I’m in denial
Maybe I’m in denial
Was it something I said?
Is it in my head?
Never been so temperamental
Those messages I sent you were real
So what’s the deal?
Got me going off the rails
I’m chasing my own tail
Chorus
It’s true, but you….
You dance around the answers
So I play the fool to keep alive my chances
And you change the rules anytime it pleases you
You want your cake and eat it too
Where did you go, I don’t know
Damn I thought that you were special - now you’re on to the next one
Chorus
I don’t know
It all started with excitement
Now tell me how they high went to low
Was it a show?
Was it just for your amusement?
To leave me all confused with this
Does she like me - does she like me not?
She’s too hot
Does she want me - does she want me not?
Got no shot
Maybe you’re something too wild to control
Baby it burns when fire turns to coal
Maybe you’re something too wild to control
Or maybe I’m in denial
Maybe I’m in denial

Never been so temperamental
Those messages I sent you were real
So what’s the deal?
Got me going off the rails
I’m chasing my own tail

It’s true, but you….

So I play the fool to keep alive my chances
And you change the rules anytime it pleases you
You want your cake and eat it too
Where did you go, I don’t know
Damn I thought that you were special - now you’re on to the next one
Chorus
We’re on the front lines
We’re making headlines
We’re on our own side
O Oh
Yeah we’re underrated
So damn sophisticated
Equally loved and hated
O Oh
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now
Twenty million voices singing loud
Baby we were born run this town
Sit back relax, we’ll show you how
We ain’t got time to be ordinary
Make money while we sleep
Don’t wait, this life is only temporary
Split second memories
I’m feeling O O O Oh -
You try to hold us back
But we’re on the fast track
Models and Cadillacs - O Oh
We’ll make you fall in love
Before you leave the club
But we don’t give a fuck
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now
Twenty million voices singing loud
Baby we were born run this town
Sit back relax, we’ll show you how
Chorus
We just got sucker punched
From all these jealous punks
There goes our free lunch O Oh
And I would cut my nose to spite my face
I’ll light it up - go down in flames
Chorus

Empty room with an old box on a shelf
Filled with words unsaid, but I always felt
Someday, someday soon
All our dreams, so big, turned into doubt
Fear and feelings we don't talk about
Someday, someday soon
With every piece of my heart I’ve been saving
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
There’s only so many chances to take yeah
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I always thought there’d be time for a conversation
But never could find the right line or situation
Someday, someday soon
Someday, someday soon
With every piece of my heart I’ve been saving
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
There’s only so many chances to take yeah
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
You’re always running to tomorrow
You’re always running to tomorrow
Too many plans 3 day traffic jams
Life gets in the way
Keeping me from the things that I need to say
Chorus
No point in hiding when there’s no escaping
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
It’s getting cold and the daylight is fading
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Filled with words unsaid, but I always felt
Someday, someday soon
All our dreams, so big, turned into doubt
Fear and feelings we don't talk about
Someday, someday soon
With every piece of my heart I’ve been saving
What are you waiting for?

Homecoming queen of a one car parade
The 67’ Chevy paint is starting to fade
A little rusty - a little dusty now
Bleachers are empty and the music is gone
I’m standing still as the crowd moves on
Last time I saw you, was by the lost and found
When the chill is running through your bones
And it’s one too many sticks and stones
You won't have to face the world alone
No you won't
When there’s nothing there to break the fall
When there’s no one left to take your call
I will be there, if you want me to
Now and always standing next to you
I will be there, if you want me to
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you around
Somebody told me that you left this town
Can’t say I blame you - but I miss you now
No see you later, no tearful goodbyes
Cause all you need to do is close your eyes
And I will see you - yeah I’ll be with you now
Chorus
Drove by your house just to feel you again
It’s doesn’t matter how or why or when
Cause if you need me - I’ll come running in
Chorus

LYRICS
It's been a while, been a while since we’ve been here
All the years in between seem to disappear
Its kind a strange, kind a strange how time gets lost
Pick it up in the place where we left off
All along, you’re never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Settle down, I settled down
and cashed em in too soon
And live it up like a boss
in my living room
All along you're never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Since these days are numbered
I’ll be staying younger inside my head
Memories on the stereo
I don’t want to let ‘em go, turn ‘em up instead
F You lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were 18
Our favorite song plays on and on, we were 18
That crazy love, can’t get enough, we were 18
All the years in between seem to disappear
Its kind a strange, kind a strange how time gets lost
Pick it up in the place where we left off
All along, you’re never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Settle down, I settled down
and cashed em in too soon
And live it up like a boss
in my living room
All along you're never gone
You stay with me just like a song
Fuck You Lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were eighteen
Since these days are numbered
I’ll be staying younger inside my head
Memories on the stereo
I don’t want to let ‘em go, turn ‘em up instead
F You lonely
Turn up Bon Jovi
Getting high on love and caffeine like when we were 18
Girls went crazy
Over Patrick Swayze
Madonna got our heartbeat racing like when we were 18
Our favorite song plays on and on, we were 18
That crazy love, can’t get enough, we were 18
Girl You Think You Know
She sleeps with makeup on
Skinny jeans are painted on like always
Some things she won’t confess
And always shows up overdressed at parties
High heels and push up bra
She rocks a knock off Louis Viton on Mondays
Selfies in fancy cars
She poses like a movie star on Broadway
Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love
The girl you think you know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Drying on the inside
Sunglasses to disguise
They hide the sadness in her eyes
it’s cloudy
Two shots to numb the pain
Her emptiness she can’t explain
She’s drowning
Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love
Chorus
I know there’s more to her
Behind the painted veil
Underneath this fairy tale
There’s beauty in her smile
It’s gold and real to me
That’s the girl I choose to see
Chorus

Got It Going On (Single)
Woke up with my headphones on
Just singing my favorite song
Oh yeah, the hangover’s gone
Cause I got it going
No line at the coffee shop
Latte with double shot
No way it won’t hit the spot
Cause I got it going on
On On On On On On On
On and up and all over town
The sun is out and the top is down
Lifting me (hold) up off the ground
Cause I got it going on
I float like a butterfly
Weightless in paradise
Like Jimi I kiss the sky
Cause I got it going on
On On On On On On On
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Dem biddies are at my back
Cross their fingers and set the trap
You know I don’t go for that
Cause I got it going
You could never walk in my shoes
My opinion is headline news
I wrote a check and I paid my dues
Cause I got it going on
On On On On On On On
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
You know I never feel this way
The way I do today - the way I do today
Just singing my favorite song
Oh yeah, the hangover’s gone
Cause I got it going
No line at the coffee shop

Endless Ecstasy
By Matthew Shwachman
© 2016 MWS Recording, LLC
Every time when we meet here
Leave your troubles at the door
Let all your worries disappear
Before you even hit the floor
Without a care in the world
We’re celebrating life on earth
Cause we love to dance and sing
You know we want to feel free
And love endless ecstasy
Somebody say more, more, give me more
And all the reasons we appear
All come back to love
We want to share a couple beers
And do our best to rise above
All the problems in the world
We’re celebrating life on earth
Chorus
It’s not a manufactured high I’m talking about what we feel inside

Breakthrough
By Matthew Shwachman

I sit at home, all alone
Watching stories unfold
While I am getting older
The feeling’s cold, like all this Boston snow
We all have our goals
Got to fight for your gold
Want to be, g-d speed, in the light
Want to see all my dreams take flight
So I runaway, runaway, tonight, tonight
Runaway to a runway and fly and fly and
Stay faithful and grateful while I wait to breakthrough
I watch the time pass me by
All I hoped to hold Still further down the road
And it’s not like, I’m not trying
Done all that I know
Still the answer is no
Want to be, g-d speed, in the light
Want to see my all my dreams take flight
So I runaway, runaway, tonight, tonight
Runaway to a runway and fly and fly and
Stay faithful and grateful while I wait to breakthrough Breakthrough, Breakthrough, Breakthrough
There’s no telling what I can do
When the limits the sky
With all the places I’m going to
Where I’m most is my mind
Chorus
I know in the air you can’t stop
I know in the air you keep flying
I know when I land I won’t stop
I know when I land I’ll keep trying

I’m up up up with the sun
Rolling out of bed
Like I got get er done
Shining on my face
I can taste the ways of her warmth
Is this love, is this love, is this love comes on
Bob got me feeling good I got to sing along
No tie around my neck
But I’m already tying one on
Drunk off the sun
Soaking up the summer fun
Finally found a way
To keep refilling our cups
Drunk off the sun There’s enough for everyone oh oh
Caught up in a daze
Living for today, we’re all ...
Were all drunk off the sun ohhh ohhhh
I’m up up up in the sky
Call me superman
Cause I’m flying really high
No Kryptonite
I’m loving life you know
And I’m so so stoked,
I’m feeling like gold
From waves at the beach & sand in my toes
It’s so so dope, my friends they got jokes
Here with my peeps, this never gets old
Chorus
And it’s so hot hot hot hot hot hot hot That we gonna need some shots shots shots shots shots shots shots

Warning Signs
By Matthew Shwachman
©2016 MWS Recording, LLC
Should have seen it coming
And opened up my eyes
Should have paid attention to the warning signs
I’m lying here all by myself
Deciding if I’m only lying to myself
Blindsided by the sight of you with someone else
Divided did all we have get put back on the shelf?
Should have seen it coming
And opened up my eyes
Should have paid attention to the warning signs
All of us are busy
For love you make the time
Should have paid attention to the warning signs
Warning Signs, Warning Signs
I trying hard to jog my mind
I’m frightened how long have I really been so blind, now I’m enlightened
When you are in love, it’s all you can see
When you are in love, it’s all you want to believe
Chorus
You play the game
And let me hang
And never lose your cool
You’re running late And make me wait
Then always act aloof Slow to text
Avoiding sex
You’re never in the mood
Don’t have the time
And can’t decide
If I’m the one for you

Slipping
By Matthew Shwachman
© 2016 MWS Recording, LLC
How can I look into your eyes
And please myself at your expense
Without the truth, your mouth may move,
But words they make no sense at all
I’m ready for the fall
I can feel you slipping through my hands, it’s out of hand
How do I make you understand?
Slipping, slipping, slipping
How can you look at me, say what you say, and in that way
Then go ahead and turn away, and run away from everything, from me, from you, from you and me
Chorus
All of my affection, so affected by rejection
Trying to keep my connection with you
And the tighter that I grip, the faster that you slip
And there’s nothing I can do
Chorus
I can feel you slipping through my hands, it’s out of hand
How do I make you understand?
Don’t say you love me, not unless you know
Cause your eyes never lie and I can’t let you go

Here comes another goodbye like an old friend saying hi
Who shows up unannounced at my door
Must have known I’m not alone because I still had the door latch on
Cause something keeps me hanging on
I want you, I don’t want to, have to let you go so soon I’d love to love you, that’s why it’s so hard for me to do
Say good bye to you
Say goodbye to you In this lose lose
No one wins in this lose lose
Here comes another heart break, I just felt the whole earth shake
I can’t seem to find some solid ground
Can’t decide the worse mistake that
I only have myself to blame or that your no longer around
I want you, I don’t want to, have to let you go so soon I’d love to love you, that’s why it’s so hard for me to do
Say good bye to you
Say goodbye to you I was always taught to follow my heart that I wouldn’t lose
Until I put myself inside your shoes In this lose lose
Here we are, you’re inside of my arms, what we have about to be gone
The silence blares, my heart it tears, how can something so right still feel wrong
I want you, I don’t want to, have to let you go so soon I’ll always love you, that’s why it’s so hard for me to do
Say good bye to you
Say Goodbye to you
I was always taught to follow my heart that I wouldn’t lose
Until I put myself inside your shoes
In this lose lose x 3

Older
By Matthew Shwachman
© 2016 MWS Recording, LLC
I’ve gotten older today I’m not resorting back to my old ways But it’s colder and strange
Cause my head doesn’t care what my heart has to say
Maybe tomorrow it will be ok
Maybe tomorrow I’ll turn the page
Maybe tomorrow will unfold
A lot better than it did today
Cause I’ll be older, older, yeah yeah
Older, from all the pain
I have been needing a change
Cause the weight of my chain’s getting harder to bear I don’t need to be saved
But for once it’d be nice to be met about half way
Maybe tomorrow it will be ok
Maybe tomorrow I will turn the page
Maybe tomorrow will unfold
A lot better than it did today
Cause I’ll be older, older, yeah yeah
Older, from all the pain
All these different stories Intertwine with mine
And if you look real close
You’ll find the reason why
When you read between the lines

Pick it up

Hey now, got to lift your head up
I know that times are tough
And you’re feeling stuck Pick it up
Don’t wait now, got to shake the rust
Take it off the shelf
You’re dreams collecting dust
Pick it up
You know that you’re stronger
You hope that you’ll hold it down the road
Hey now don’t you wait around with broken dreams
And your hands out
Dig way down into your gut
It’s your dream but to reach is not enough
You got to pick it up
Hey now, get off the couch
You’ve sulked enough
You are wearing that cushion out
Pick it up
And wake up, don’t ever stop
Either find a new plan or
The ball that you dropped
Pick it up
Pre & chorus
Nobody said it’d be easy T
hat’s why it’s so hard to hold
Pre & Chorus I
t’s within your reach but to dream is not enough
Got to pick it up Enough is not enough – you gotta believe you can pick it up Enough is not enough–you gotta to believe there’s no giving up Enough is not enough – you gotta believe you can pick it up

I don’t want to go another day on my own
Inside our lovely home if all the love is gone
I don’t want to go even one day more
Without seeing your pretty face when I walk through the door
All I want to see, is you smile at me
Can we please go back before things got bad I’m with you, you’re with me
And I want you back, still imagine that
I’m with you, you’re with me I don’t want to go another night alone
Miss the way you play, taste, tease like you were putting on a show I don’t want to go even one night more
Without seeing your pretty face when I wake in the morning
All I want to see, is you smile at me
Chorus
There’s only so much you can take, the mistakes make you through it all away
There’s only so much you can bend till you brake, got face it face to face
Face to Face
All I want to see, is you smile at me
Chorus
Everything I did, everything I said, is messing with my head
Wish I went and did some other things instead

Thought I got away from you
Thought I had this already figured out
Nothing to look forward to and Yeah you could say I’m feeling down
And I’m missing out
And I’m missing out
Shot you a line or two
Shot down without a word or a sound I know
I said were through I’m not trying to turn this whole thing around
And I’m missing out
And I’m missing out
Got to get away from you
Got to get out
Got to find a way to not burn out
Got to find a flame to light up the dark
Got a find a way to make you eat your heart out
Cause I miss you now
And I miss you now
And I’m missing out
And I’m missing out

Good Enough

Today feels like another one of those days
Want to run away, who can stand the pain
No matter what I do or say, they are in my face,
Trying to find a place to place the blame
Let it go
Take it slow
Cause you know
Tomorrow it will be ok
I want to be who I’m meant to be I know he’s here inside of me, and that I’m
Good enough, good enough
Good enough and worthy of love
Good Enough, good enough
When will I see it’s up to me to feel good enough?
And meanwhile in line I wait, watching smiles they fake, Just trying to catch a break
And all I ever really hear them say is I aint got what it takes, It’s ok, and have a nice day
Let it go
Take it slow
Cause you know Tomorrow it will be ok
Chorus
Hey were all entitled to having a bad day
But wait don’t base your worth on what other people say
Let it go
Take it slow
Cause you know What do they know anyway?
I want to be who I’m meant to be
I know he’s here inside of me I’m going to show this heart of gold
I aint gonna let nobody hold me back no more because

Every once in a while
On lonely nights like tonight
I question how I’m living
Hey nanana
If I’m doing it right
Then where did god hide my wife?
Did I make the right decisions?
Hey nanana
Though I know it’s for the best
Become accustomed to expect
The outcome less desired by my tired heart
But the show aint over yet
A silver lining to suggest
Got time left to inspire with my silent art
This moment’s just a pixel in a bigger picture
Bigger picture, got a vision, an inner voice guide to guide me There’s a bigger picture, got to listen, it says...
hey nanana
Every once in a while
When my fingers get tired I
question my commitment
Hey nanana
Did I lose my desire?
And does my music inspire?
Is it only wishful thinking?
Hey nanana
Chorus
How could this be good for me?
And why is nothing good enough for me?
Though I know it’s for the best
Become accustomed to expect
What’s less desired breaks my heart
The show aint over
Got to inspire in spite of all these scars
This moment is just a pixel in a bigger picture
Bigger picture, got a vision, an inner voice guide to guide me There’s a bigger picture, got to listen, it says... hey nanana x 2

Drunk off the Sun – EP
Drunk Off the Sun
(feat. Maurico)
My Silent Bravery
And I’m up up up with the sun
Rolling out of bed Like I got get er done
Shining on my face
I can taste the ways of her warmth
Is this love, is this love, is this love comes on
Bob got me feeling good I got to sing along
No tie around my neck
ut I’m already tying one on
Drunk off the sun
Soaking up the summer fun
Finally found a way
To keep refilling our cups
Drunk off the sun
There’s enough for everyone oh oh
Caught up in a daze
Living for today,
We’re all ..
Were all drunk off the sun ohhh ohhhh
’m up up up in the sky
Call me superman
Cause Im flying really high
No Kryptonite
I’m loving life you know
And I’m so so stoked, I’m feeling like gold
From waves at the beach & sand in my toes
It’s so so dope, my friends they got jokes
Here with my peeps, this never gets old
Chorus
Yeah Sunshades on my eyes I'm live
You and your girls
And me and my guys
We gone do it big girl real magnified
Solar flares in my cup take me up in the sky I see paradise right in front of me
I'm just trying quench your thirst like sunny D
Tan got you looking sweeter than a honey Bee
It's gone be a long summer
This is just the summary
Hey it's a party on the beach tonight
Uh we turning up until we reach the sky
And we so lit that we don't need the light
I got the dj wilding out and he gone keep it hype
Ocean side got me feeling so wavy
Got me feeling like big papa
I want you to have my baby tonight
Cause your so hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
That we gonna need some shots shots shots shots shots shots shots

Ride With Me (Single)
If you want to go and take a ride with me
We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you want to go and get high with me
Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
Oh why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
In the club on the late night, feeling right
Looking, trying to spot something real nice
Looking for a little shorty I noticed so that I can take home
(I can take home)
She can be 18 (18) with an attitude
Or 19, kinda snotty, acting real rude
But as long as you a thicky-thicky-thick girl you know that it's on
(Know that it's on)
I peep something coming towards me on the dance floor
Sexy and real slow
Saying she was peeping and I dig the last video
"So when, can we go?" How could I tell her no?
Her measurements were 36-25-34, yellin
I like the way you brush your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
I like the way the light hit the ice and glare
And I can see you, from way over there
If you want to go and take a ride with me
We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you want to go and get high with me
Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
Oh why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
Face and body Front and back, don't know how to act
Without no vouchers on her boots she's bringing nothing back
You should feel the impact, shop on plastic
When the sky's the limit and them haters can't get past that
Watch me as I gas that 4 dot 6 Range
Watch the candy paint change, every time I switch lanes
It feel strange now
Making a living off my brain, instead of 'caine now
I got the title from my momma put the whip in my own name now
Damn things done changed now
Running credit checks with no shame now
I feel the fame now (come on), I can't complain now (no more)
In and out of New Jersey getting pages up from Anthony
Telling me about a party out in NYC
And can I make it? Damn right, I be on the next flight
Paying cash; first class - sitting next to Vanna White
If you want to go and take a ride with me
We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you want to go and get high with me
Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
Oh why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
I know something you don't know
And I've got something to tell ya
You won't believe how many people straight doubted the flow
Most said that I was a failure
But now the same mothers asking me for dough
And I'm yelling: "I can't help ya"
"Can we get tickets to the next show?"
Hell no, but here we go …
If you want to go and take a ride with me
We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you want to go and get high with me
Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
Oh why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money!)

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

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

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

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

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,

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,

Chorus
Forever
Sometimes you’re so emotional
When wondering what the future holds for us
If I had a crystal ball
I’m sure I’d see a lot of love
So lay your head on me I’ll meet you in your dreams just go ahead and fall
And when you wake each day, I’ll be the first one that you see
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my love that I could spend forever with
I’ll be here for you forever
You worry nothing’s set in stone and that I’ll leave you here alone,
Girl you know that I won’t let you go, because we’re one in the same soul
Lay your head on me I’ll meet you in your dreams just go ahead and fall
And when you wake each day, I hope you will think of me
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my dear that I could spend forever with
I’ll be here for you forever
If you’re in, I’m in girl
Forever, forever,
When can we begin and
How long can this planet spin?
Forever, forever
Let this never end
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my love that I could spend forever with
Sometimes you’re so emotional
When wondering what the future holds for us
If I had a crystal ball
I’m sure I’d see a lot of love
So lay your head on me I’ll meet you in your dreams just go ahead and fall
And when you wake each day, I’ll be the first one that you see
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my love that I could spend forever with
I’ll be here for you forever
You worry nothing’s set in stone and that I’ll leave you here alone,
Girl you know that I won’t let you go, because we’re one in the same soul
Lay your head on me I’ll meet you in your dreams just go ahead and fall
And when you wake each day, I hope you will think of me
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my dear that I could spend forever with
I’ll be here for you forever
If you’re in, I’m in girl
Forever, forever,
When can we begin and
How long can this planet spin?
Forever, forever
Let this never end
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
I will always be there for you, when the light gets dim
There’s no one else my love that I could spend forever with
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
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

When I’m dull, when I shine
On my side, on my side

You see it your way and I see it mine

High on Life
Picture your life as perfect
When you’re hurt you don’t get sad

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

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

Better Things
When you turn off the lights
And lie awake at night
Does it feel like you are haunted?
Do you hear a voice in your head?
Or feel a void in your bed
Cause never got what you wanted and said
I’ve got better things to do
Than lie and awake and dream of you
It’s my life and I’m going to see it through
The way I always thought I would
I’ve got better things to do
You go to work each day
With all your bills that you pay
Are you doing what you wanted?
And on your cigarette break
Do you think to yourself and say
It’s just not the way I thought it would be and
I’ve got better things to do
Than lie and make believe it’s true
It’s my life and I’m going to see it through
The way I always thought I would
I’ve got better things to do
So no more lying to yourself
Just like in grade school
We get tested, sent from heaven
To send better things, still so many say
I’ve got better things to do
Than try instead of really do
It’s my life and I’m going to see it through
The way I always thought I would
When you turn off the lights
And lie awake at night
Does it feel like you are haunted?
Do you hear a voice in your head?
Or feel a void in your bed
Cause never got what you wanted and said
I’ve got better things to do
Than lie and awake and dream of you
It’s my life and I’m going to see it through
The way I always thought I would
I’ve got better things to do
You go to work each day
With all your bills that you pay

Tears
Come back to me my darling,
Helplessly, I have fallen to me knees, need you desperately
Gone so suddenly, no warning, can’t believe
All that’s left of your things is your memory
After all the smoke has cleared
Words that used to come so easily aren’t there
I know the questions but all the answers are not so clear
Not like all these tears
Talk to me, girl the phone won’t ring,
I’d give anything just to hear you breathe
Remembering idiosyncrasies, like ways you’d look and tease
Girl its killing me
After all the smoke has cleared
Those words that used to come so easily aren’t there
I know the questions but all the answers are not so clear
Not like all these tears
Used to be just two inside a room that was swimming full of people
Try to make my way over to you, now I’m just one of the crowd
Wonder where my movie got confused it’s like this is the sequel
But it’s nowhere near as good without you
Now it’s almost over and my heart’s still broken
I just hope it opens up again
Come back to me my darling,
Helplessly, I have fallen to me knees, need you desperately
Gone so suddenly, no warning, can’t believe
All that’s left of your things is your memory
After all the smoke has cleared
Words that used to come so easily aren’t there
I know the questions but all the answers are not so clear
Not like all these tears

Wonder where my movie got confused it’s like this is the sequel
But it’s nowhere near as good without you
Now it’s almost over and my heart’s still broken
I just hope it opens up again
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
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
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?

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

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

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

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
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
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

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 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
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

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,

Can’t Quit
Four Years
Broken down, it’s nothing new
Four years without a word from you
Was running fine but now there’s fumes
Could it be, because I caught a glimpse of you?
Or maybe a shifting of the moon
You know us cancers change our moods
Four years on the run
I have been ducking love
Heart is covered in lust
Someone come give me a jump
There’s no mistaking it
So many chasing it
Rather be making it
Love
My heart is aching in
From people breaking it
Go on get naked in
Love
When I was younger I was smooth
So many girls, I had one for every mood
My intentions always good,
Being bad just always felt so good
But there’s been a shifting of the moon
You know us cancers change our tune
Four Years on the run
Now I’m stuck in a rut
Heart is covered in rust
Someone come give me a jump
So many come and go
They touch us but it isn’t enough
When you find the right one
You feel it in your heart and your soul and you know

Alright
I lost my way again I could use some advice
I took a left turn when my instincts said right
You’d think I would not make this mistake more than twice
Feels like I have been down this road a thousand times
When I’m out on the road alone, with no charge in my cell phone
No one to confide in
I still have an ace in the hole, a couple of guys I know
Got Bob Marley singing
Every Little thing is alright
Like Eddy Vedder, I’m still alive
Like the Grateful Dead I will get by
I will survive
I always end up in the middle of the fight
Where lines have been drawn on opposite sides
I tend to linger in the center where it’s quiet
Sooner or later I will have to decide
When I am feeling all alone, inside of my own home
With no one to confide in
I still have a place I can go, I just through on my head phones
Got Bob Marley singing
Chorus
And when it all goes wrong
Why do we keep holding on?
Like a handle on the door
Buts it’s really all the wrongs
That helps us to move on
From the place we were before
I remember the time when I totaled the Volvo
It was the longest night of my life
But I still found my way home and when they turned on the radio
Bob Marley’s singing

Can’t Quit
It’s been a long day, I’ll Say
Can’t anything go my way?
So I close my eyes and I’ll pray
Someday it will go the way I have been imagining it all in my head
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Until the death of me
With every breath in me
I’ll give it everything
I’m gonna give it my all
And some days my will power fades
And my heart feels its age
Has the rain washed out the flame?
Hope the spark inside never fades
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Chorus
And when the doubts creep in
And sneak into my head
I need to look within and change
The way I think …
But I can’t, can’t quit
I am going down swinging
Chorus
Until the death of me
I’m chasing destiny
It’s slowly catching me
I am going to give it my all

Burnt Out
And for a moment I’ll lay my guard down here’s the truth
I’ll show you really where my heart’s at girl if you will too
Let me in, let me stay, but give me room and let me find a way to prove
There’s something here, can you feel it, this is real, and do you feel the way I do?
But I can’t go on like this anymore
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out
And I remember all those times I thought I was cool, sometimes still do
Never thought I would be the one to act a fool for you, until you
Let me in, let me stay, you gave me room but it was more than I could use
There’s something here, you can feel it buts it’s clear that you don’t feel the way I do
But I can’t go on like I did before
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out
Once you know it then you can’t go back
There’s only forward there’s no turning back
And I gave you everything I had
But it wasn’t enough to win your love
But I can’t go on like I did before
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
Once you know it then you can’t go back
Why would you hold onto the match after the flame’s gone out?
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out

To Give featuring Matisyahu
From the moment we’re born
First thought is to take, we feed our face
We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we dream
And when we don’t get we need
Well then we cry, we kick, we scream
We’ll try every and anything
Bring the attention where it belongs back to me
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is yours
Open up the door let love come through
Each and every day you know that it’s true
Got to give to the lord you know that’s all you can do
From the moment we wake each day,
We crave the easy way
We booze caffeine or nicotine
Anything to fill the need
Like money does, bright lights, big bling
We’ll try everything and anything as long as it’s for me
What if we flipped a switch and be unselfish?
What if you called a friend just to see how he is?
We all could use a lift without Pretenses
What if your first thought was not to take but just to give…to give
Until the moment were gone
Were stuck in between what we need and want
We eat, we pray, we love, we speak
Sometimes we don’t feel a thing
Then other times, we hurt, we bleed
We’ll try everything and anything, it’s all about me
And how the simplest of thoughts could be so hard
This isn’t who we really are
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is yours
Open up the door let love come through
Each and every day you know that it’s true
Got to give to the lord you know that’s all you can do
There’s no time for envy, jealousy, or greed
Love blindly that’s all that we need
Send out your hand to help a fellow man
Stand up if you want and give to the land

Ms. Definite Maybe
She turns from sweet to sour
And changes hour to hour
She’s a box of chocolates in a dress, a hot mess
You never know what you’re going to get
She’ll never bore you
I can assure you
What will it be today?
Maybe Amazing
But it’s over
Kind of sort of
She’s a shade of grey
She’s definitely
Ms. Definite Maybe
She likes to take control
And dangle her love from a rope
To keep you hanging round and thinking about
The next time and which taste she’ll leave inside your mouth
Because she’s forward
And leans in forward
Before she pulls away
And keeps you guessing
And says it’s over
Kind of sort of
She’s a shade of grey
She is definitely
Ms. Definitive Maybe
When did love become about
Inviting you in to kick you out of her house
And what’s with all these maybes and we’ll see
Well maybe she should spell it out
She’ll never bore you
I can assure you
Because she’s forward
And leans in forward
Before she pulls away
And keeps you guessing

Last One Left
When are you coming round into town?
It’s been a couple years since I have seen you here
Come and dive into the life that you used to live
You roll out with your top down
All the leaves on the trees are bleeding green to red
Near the house you grew up in as a little kid
Been living here
For 20 years
Friends all disappeared
Never thought I’d be the last one left
The Last One Left
Last One Left
Never thought I’d be
The Last One Left
When the night falls all the bars call
Going to have a couple drinks and we’ll raise a glass
While you’re thinking how my present has become your past
Strangely familiar
But a little different
The ring on your finger explains
We all make decisions
Commit I couldn’t do it
But my band’s about to kill it on stage
Been living here
For 20 years
Friends all getting hitched
Never thought I’d be the last one left
The Last One Left
Last One Left
Never thought I’d be
The Last One Left
There’s no, no place like home

Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday
Home alone as I ring in the New Year
I watch the clock and all the people in time square
Somehow I feel I went and dropped the ball again
Going to make me a resolution
Write a list of all the things I’ll do different
Pray they’ll stick and kiss the old me goodbye
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Thirty One, I’m no longer a kid
I’d rather play my guitar than go drinking
In some crowded bar to feel all alone
Out with the old and in with the new
Delete some numbers in my phone to make more room
I get to you and remember how you said
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Here’s my number one resolution
Going to find a way to turn my taking to giving
Talk a little less and do a lot more listening
This year I’m finally going to make a difference
For reasons I’m singing here today
It’s the reason I’m breathing anyway
All alone as I ring in the New Year
A year from now there is no way that I’ll be here
I’m not ever going to drop the ball again
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday

Home alone as I ring in the New Year
I watch the clock and all the people in time square
Somehow I feel I went and dropped the ball again
Going to make me a resolution
Write a list of all the things I’ll do different
Pray they’ll stick and kiss the old me goodbye
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Thirty One, I’m no longer a kid
I’d rather play my guitar than go drinking
In some crowded bar to feel all alone
Out with the old and in with the new
Delete some numbers in my phone to make more room
I get to you and remember how you said
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Here’s my number one resolution
Going to find a way to turn my taking to giving
Talk a little less and do a lot more listening
This year I’m finally going to make a difference
For reasons I’m singing here today
It’s the reason I’m breathing anyway
All alone as I ring in the New Year

Can’t Quit (Deluxe Edition)
Four Years
Broken down, it’s nothing new
Four years without a word from you
Was running fine but now there’s fumes
Could it be, because I caught a glimpse of you?
Or maybe a shifting of the moon
You know us cancers change our moods
Four years on the run
I have been ducking love
Heart is covered in lust
Someone come give me a jump
There’s no mistaking it
So many chasing it
Rather be making it
Love
My heart is aching in
From people breaking it
Go on get naked in
Love
When I was younger I was smooth
So many girls, I had one for every mood
My intentions always good,
Being bad just always felt so good
But there’s been a shifting of the moon
You know us cancers change our tune
Four Years on the run
Now I’m stuck in a rut
Heart is covered in rust
Someone come give me a jump
So many come and go
They touch us but it isn’t enough
When you find the right one
You feel it in your heart and your soul and you know
Chorus

Alright
I lost my way again I could use some advice
I took a left turn when my instincts said right
You’d think I would not make this mistake more than twice
Feels like I have been down this road a thousand times
When I’m out on the road alone, with no charge in my cell phone
No one to confide in
I still have an ace in the hole, a couple of guys I know
Got Bob Marley singing
Every Little thing is alright
Like Eddy Vedder, I’m still alive
Like the Grateful Dead I will get by
I will survive
I always end up in the middle of the fight
Where lines have been drawn on opposite sides
I tend to linger in the center where it’s quiet
Sooner or later I will have to decide
When I am feeling all alone, inside of my own home
With no one to confide in
I still have a place I can go, I just through on my head phones
Got Bob Marley singing
Chorus
And when it all goes wrong
Why do we keep holding on?
Like a handle on the door
Buts it’s really all the wrongs
That helps us to move on
From the place we were before
I remember the time when I totaled the Volvo
It was the longest night of my life
But I still found my way home and when they turned on the radio
Bob Marley’s singing

Can’t Quit
It’s been a long day, I’ll Say
Can’t anything go my way?
So I close my eyes and I’ll pray
Someday it will go the way I have been imagining it all in my head
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Until the death of me
With every breath in me
I’ll give it everything
I’m gonna give it my all
And some days my will power fades
And my heart feels its age
Has the rain washed out the flame?
Hope the spark inside never fades
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Chorus
And when the doubts creep in
And sneak into my head
I need to look within and change
The way I think …
But I can’t, can’t quit
I am going down swinging
Chorus
Until the death of me
I’m chasing destiny
It’s slowly catching me
I am going to give it my all

Burnt Out
And for a moment I’ll lay my guard down here’s the truth
I’ll show you really where my heart’s at girl if you will too
Let me in, let me stay, but give me room and let me find a way to prove
There’s something here, can you feel it, this is real, and do you feel the way I do?
But I can’t go on like this anymore
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out
And I remember all those times I thought I was cool, sometimes still do
Never thought I would be the one to act a fool for you, until you
Let me in, let me stay, you gave me room but it was more than I could use
There’s something here, you can feel it buts it’s clear that you don’t feel the way I do
But I can’t go on like I did before
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out
Once you know it then you can’t go back
There’s only forward there’s no turning back
And I gave you everything I had
But it wasn’t enough to win your love
But I can’t go on like I did before
Keep loving you when you got one foot out the door
Once you know it then you can’t go back
Why would you hold onto the match after the flame’s gone out?
I’m burnt out
I’m burnt out

To Give featuring Matisyahu
From the moment we’re born
First thought is to take, we feed our face
We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we dream
And when we don’t get we need
Well then we cry, we kick, we scream
We’ll try every and anything
Bring the attention where it belongs back to me
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is yours
Open up the door let love come through
Each and every day you know that it’s true
Got to give to the lord you know that’s all you can do
From the moment we wake each day,
We crave the easy way
We booze caffeine or nicotine
Anything to fill the need
Like money does, bright lights, big bling
We’ll try everything and anything as long as it’s for me
What if we flipped a switch and be unselfish?
What if you called a friend just to see how he is?
We all could use a lift without Pretenses
What if your first thought was not to take but just to give…to give
Until the moment were gone
Were stuck in between what we need and want
We eat, we pray, we love, we speak
Sometimes we don’t feel a thing
Then other times, we hurt, we bleed
We’ll try everything and anything, it’s all about me
And how the simplest of thoughts could be so hard
This isn’t who we really are
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is yours
Open up the door let love come through
Each and every day you know that it’s true
Got to give to the lord you know that’s all you can do
There’s no time for envy, jealousy, or greed
Love blindly that’s all that we need
Send out your hand to help a fellow man
Stand up if you want and give to the land

Ms. Definite Maybe
She turns from sweet to sour
And changes hour to hour
She’s a box of chocolates in a dress, a hot mess
You never know what you’re going to get
She’ll never bore you
I can assure you
What will it be today?
Maybe Amazing
But it’s over
Kind of sort of
She’s a shade of grey
She’s definitely
Ms. Definite Maybe
She likes to take control
And dangle her love from a rope
To keep you hanging round and thinking about
The next time and which taste she’ll leave inside your mouth
Because she’s forward
And leans in forward
Before she pulls away
And keeps you guessing
And says it’s over
Kind of sort of
She’s a shade of grey
She is definitely
Ms. Definitive Maybe
When did love become about
Inviting you in to kick you out of her house
And what’s with all these maybes and we’ll see
Well maybe she should spell it out
She’ll never bore you
I can assure you
Because she’s forward
And leans in forward
Before she pulls away
And keeps you guessing

Last One Left
When are you coming round into town?
It’s been a couple years since I have seen you here
Come and dive into the life that you used to live
You roll out with your top down
All the leaves on the trees are bleeding green to red
Near the house you grew up in as a little kid
Been living here
For 20 years
Friends all disappeared
Never thought I’d be the last one left
The Last One Left
Last One Left
Never thought I’d be
The Last One Left
When the night falls all the bars call
Going to have a couple drinks and we’ll raise a glass
While you’re thinking how my present has become your past
Strangely familiar
But a little different
The ring on your finger explains
We all make decisions
Commit I couldn’t do it
But my band’s about to kill it on stage
Been living here
For 20 years
Friends all getting hitched
Never thought I’d be the last one left
The Last One Left
Last One Left
Never thought I’d be
The Last One Left
There’s no, no place like home

Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday
Home alone as I ring in the New Year
I watch the clock and all the people in time square
Somehow I feel I went and dropped the ball again
Going to make me a resolution
Write a list of all the things I’ll do different
Pray they’ll stick and kiss the old me goodbye
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Thirty One, I’m no longer a kid
I’d rather play my guitar than go drinking
In some crowded bar to feel all alone
Out with the old and in with the new
Delete some numbers in my phone to make more room
I get to you and remember how you said
Goodbye, Farewell
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Here’s my number one resolution
Going to find a way to turn my taking to giving
Talk a little less and do a lot more listening
This year I’m finally going to make a difference
For reasons I’m singing here today
It’s the reason I’m breathing anyway
All alone as I ring in the New Year
A year from now there is no way that I’ll be here
I’m not ever going to drop the ball again

Can’t Quit
It’s been a long day, I’ll Say
Can’t anything go my way?
So I close my eyes and I’ll pray
Someday it will go the way I have been imagining it all in my head
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Until the death of me
With every breath in me
I’ll give it everything
I’m gonna give it my all
And some days my will power fades
And my heart feels its age
Has the rain washed out the flame?
Hope the spark inside never fades
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Chorus
And when the doubts creep in
And sneak into my head
I need to look within and change
The way I think …
But I can’t, can’t quit
I am going down swinging
Chorus
Until the death of me
I’m chasing destiny
It’s slowly catching me
I am going to give it my all
It’s been a long day, I’ll Say
Can’t anything go my way?
So I close my eyes and I’ll pray
Someday it will go the way I have been imagining it all in my head
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Until the death of me
With every breath in me
I’ll give it everything
I’m gonna give it my all
And some days my will power fades
And my heart feels its age
Has the rain washed out the flame?
Hope the spark inside never fades
But I can’t, can’t quit
I won’t through the towel in
My legs may cave in
But I am going down swinging
Chorus
And when the doubts creep in
And sneak into my head
I need to look within and change
The way I think …
But I can’t, can’t quit
I am going down swinging
Chorus
Until the death of me
I’m chasing destiny
It’s slowly catching me
I am going to give it my all
Are You Prepared?
Not Necessarily So
We are on this journey Endlessly searching For a sense of purpose And a source of some fulfillment yeah
It’s kind of like when we were mining For that little precious diamond And when we finally found it You know it wasn’t what we had in mind
We hold on To what we know When letting go would makes the difference yeah
Is what we want What we need Or not necessarily so Did you ever notice How we think we know Which way the wind will blow us Instead we just end up somewhere else
Chorus
We’re stuck in our ways cause were used to it Some say you can’t teach an old dog any new tricks And if you have ever considered this You might as well lay down and play dead
Chorus
We are on this journey Endlessly searching For a sense of purpose And a source of some fulfillment yeah
It’s kind of like when we were mining For that little precious diamond And when we finally found it You know it wasn’t what we had in mind
We hold on To what we know When letting go would makes the difference yeah
Is what we want What we need Or not necessarily so Did you ever notice How we think we know Which way the wind will blow us Instead we just end up somewhere else
Chorus
We’re stuck in our ways cause were used to it Some say you can’t teach an old dog any new tricks And if you have ever considered this You might as well lay down and play dead
Chorus
Stunning
I am stumbling on my own two feet But you’re so stunning that I can’t find the words to speak What in the world now can I say? That won’t give me away What in the world now can I do? To get in good with you
Call me, honey, when will I see you again Call me, lonely, when will I ever see you again
I was wondering, do I ever cross your mind girl One in one hundred, but I’ll still take those odds, and defy What in the world now can I say? You’re driving me insane What in the world now can I do? I’m still in love with you and all you have to do is
So here we are after all these years Under all these scars our hearts still want to feel I never got your messages, I thought you loved me but I’m second guessing it And your beauty’s got me stunned The cat has got my tongue Seeing you is like someone’s gone and Ripped the breath from out my lungs My eyes they say too much, because your love is all I want I somehow muster up the strength to get the words from out my mouth and I say ...
Call me honey, when will I see you again Call me lonely, when will I ever see you again
I am stumbling on my own two feet But you’re so stunning that I can’t find the words to speak What in the world now can I say? That won’t give me away What in the world now can I do? To get in good with you

Street Corner
I am giving up right now Let this song remind me how How to let go of you All the words you wished you said Resound with in your head As the tears begin to fall
But if I pass you on a random street corner Girl will you look my way or let your eyes just wonder How did it get this far, my dreams of who you are Up on your pedestal, but I will always take the fall
I had to take the chance I hope you understand Sometimes it’s better if you fall
Chorus
A Part of you I can’t escape This dream I built, my saving grace I love you girl but I know it’s not real Truth be told, I don’t care anymore because I’m in love with the idea
Chorus

Run Away
With so much at stake, it’s hard to take
It all in stride which used to get me by
Wet set our goals and then we chase
And hope our bodies keep up with our minds
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
So many run away from their destiny
But you can only run so far, so fast, for so long You’ll see
So much that’s great comes from mistakes
Some try a thousand times before they get it right
But we all want to make our mark
Have history set our names apart
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
Chorus
Why is that you keep running away
When you know you’re better off if you stay?
With so much at stake, it’s hard to take
It all in stride which used to get me by
Wet set our goals and then we chase
And hope our bodies keep up with our minds
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
So many run away from their destiny
But you can only run so far, so fast, for so long You’ll see
So much that’s great comes from mistakes
Some try a thousand times before they get it right
But we all want to make our mark
Have history set our names apart
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
Chorus
Why is that you keep running away
When you know you’re better off if you stay?
Crime and Punishment
I watch the clock unwind Each second is the distance Between judgment and the crime You know as well as I
That what you do comes back to you
At some point in your life
And we try to find the meaning of it all And sometimes we’re right, sometimes were wrong
And we try to find the meaning of it all
And sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall
Deny, and try to rationalize
And wonder why the outcome differs than what we had in mind You know somewhere inside
There’s a prior time When you denied another loving girl Now you’re worried what the jury will find
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise
And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
I watch the clock unwind Each second is the distance Between judgment and the crime You know as well as I
That what you do comes back to you
At some point in your life
And we try to find the meaning of it all And sometimes we’re right, sometimes were wrong
And we try to find the meaning of it all
And sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall
Deny, and try to rationalize
And wonder why the outcome differs than what we had in mind You know somewhere inside
There’s a prior time When you denied another loving girl Now you’re worried what the jury will find
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise
And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Always Waiting
Say lovely lady why you always run away
There will come a day when you know that you are going to stay Girl, you know you’ll stay
See you and me girl we got certain chemistry Sort of feels like an overload of sensories You’re like a dose of ecstasy
Always I’m waiting for the day when you will see How much I love you just for you
Could you love me for me? Nothing else means anything, without you here with me You’re everything
You’re the only thing I need
Say pretty baby why you play your silly games
Give me a little taste to see if I will take the bait
Before you go hide away
Chorus
My heart can only hold for so long I don’t know if I can keep waiting for you
Why can’t I just move on How long will you keep me here waiting?
Chorus
Say lovely lady why you always run away

Comfort of the Sideline
Flashback, hijack When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed It’s coming around again
Think back
Where you were at
When terror came to our country
We felt like jerks
And went to work
But turned on our TV’s
Mostly we can’t be bothered
It’s only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it’s onto, onto tomorrow
Come one, come all
They call, they claim
We all better hurry
To go to war, what for, not sure
But they’re sure we should go
They draw a line
We pick a side but it’s blurry
Then we watch the news
And change our views
And all it proves is that
Chorus
We send our children, send our children to the frontline
And sit on couches, making comments, reading headlines
While they’re stuck in trenches getting caught between the cross fire
We passing judgment from the comfort of the sideline Comfort of the Sideline
Flashback, hijack When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed It’s coming around again

Faith I
t’s going to take one hell of a plan
To reach a global consciousness
Some people take, they put out their hands
And never like to give back again
The sickness is the bitterness
We’re looking for the medicine
The problem is when we invest
That we expect a dividend
Right away without delay
A product of the world today
Did you hear your mother say that
Something good is worth the wait
It just takes a little Faith
But how can you see it If you don’t believe in it in the first place It all can start today
When you believe
You’ll see a bit goes a long way
It’s going to take one hell of a man
To come and lead us to the promised land
But don’t you think that he could use a hand
Get to your feet now, so we can stand together
The sickness is the laziness
We’re looking for the medicine
The problem is when we invest
That we expect a dividend
Right away without delay
A product of the world today
The sinister will be erased And sinners can turn into saints
Chorus

Smoke
Hear it coming out
Out of her mouth Like buildings go down
They fall, they crash, they burn to the ground
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love yeah
To watch what you built Crumble apart
Till nothing’s left but smoke round here
Burning up in my eyes dear
Fill them up with all these tears
Nothing’s left but smoke round here
Watch her walk on out
Out of you house It’s like a thief cleaned you out
Of all your love, on the bed, on the floor and on the couch
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built
Crumble apart
Chorus
You’re not alright Barely Alive Cause something has died before its time
Somehow it got swallowed in the fire
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built Crumble apart
Chorus
Hear it coming out
Out of her mouth Like buildings go down
They fall, they crash, they burn to the ground
And it’s breaking your heart

Burning up in my eyes dear
Fill them up with all these tears

Are You Prepared?
I’m all in When I go all out
What you put in Is what you bound to get
Out of nowhere
Here comes that rushing in doubt
Are you prepared to ride this one out?
Are you prepared to fight for it?
Will you duck and run and hide
Are you prepared to fight for it?
Are you prepared to ride it out
You zone in
You got your target in site
You’re nearly there
But then you want to give up
In the air is where
This one ends up
Cause we all know almost is not enough
Chorus
There’s a storm, you’re afraid
To go outside
So you watch it from your window pain
What a shame
To spend your days
Wondering what you could have been
If you changed
And you’re sure that you could if you had another chance today Would you be ready?
Chorus
I’m all in When I go all out

Shadow
A devil calls your name from somewhere within
You try to turn away but it pulls you in
Just like the current
Your emotions like the ocean swelling overflowing
The storm’s getting big
The fear it comes in waves It’s like you’re stuck in place
Ands its sink or its swim
No matter where you go or what you do
Your shadow paints the room it follows you
Your actions can’t be erased is your conscious clear?
Your shadow can’t be replaced cause it’s always hear
You get to pacing, your heart racing, eyes start dilating
Heart is racing from what you’re facing
Now your world is a cage
In this here rat rat race
And it’s kill or be killed
Chorus
If you seek redemption
You must go through the gate
The only place where you face your fate
If at first you don’t succeed
Try, try, try, try again
Cause the only way out is to let the light in ...let the light in
A devil calls your name from somewhere within
You try to turn away but it pulls you in
Just like the current
Your emotions like the ocean swelling overflowing
The storm’s getting big
The fear it comes in waves It’s like you’re stuck in place
Ands its sink or its swim
No matter where you go or what you do

As Above, So Below
For Shalom
So the story goes, so the story goes
I came upon a man about a couple years ago
He wasn’t very old but he seemed to know
All the wonders of the world and the workings of the soul
He told me ...Start to finish, light is in us
Life is precious so live for the moment
Take a minute, really live it
Push your limits, get out of your comfort zone
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
He took by the hand, asked me what I wanted to know I wasn’t really sure but knew I needed more If you want it all, what are you waiting for
But you got to take the seeds, plant them, then you’ve got to help them grow
Start to finish, light is in us
Life is precious so I live for the moment
Take a minute, really live it
Push your limits and get out of your comfort zone
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
The seeds you planted they all became trees
Roots in the dirt
Eventually revealed new seeds
Fruits of your work
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
For Shalom
So the story goes, so the story goes

Uncharted Territory
Destiny
So many things to do and the clock keeps ticking by
So I’ll be sure to sleep when I die
Don’t put off till tomorrow what your heart longs for today You’re throwing your precious time away
This life so short and delicate
All these memories we try to fit
In a shoebox on a shelf in our mind
The world so big yet intricate that
If you blink for just an instant
You may find it all pass you by
This is all uncharted territory
Destiny is our destination
Everyday is a second chance at something
If you knew then, what you know right now
Born at a certain time for reasons undefined
And we try to live the best we know how
We map a history through choices that we make
Some may say its chance but I believe its fate
This life so short and delicate
All these memories we try to fit
In a shoebox on a shelf in our mind
The world so big yet intricate that
If you blink for just an instant
You may find it all pass you by
This is all uncharted territory
Chorus
Our bodies get tired and weary
Somehow our spirits carry on
Visions get blind and blurry
Somehow we find our way back home
Home is where your heart is

Dying to feel Alive
I can not begin to try and hide this grin
It’s been so long since I have been this way, and felt like myself Everything so new with the point of view
That half an empty glass of water can suddenly become half full
I’ve been dying to feel this alive
I can not believe my eyes
I’m taking it all in stride
Though I’m dying everyday I’m alive
I’m just trying to get it right
I’m taking it all in stride
When sadness finds my mind, it does from time to time Remind myself that’s just the way it goes, highs can not be highs with out the lows
Chorus
I have been making sure I don’t forget to laugh
And I’m holding onto moments as they pass
And I’m trying not to worry about time
I should have just the right amount to live my life
Chorus

Rise Above
He’s going out into the cold without a coat
He roams these frozen streets alone, he knows no home
Waking up, day in and out, trying hard to somehow make ends meet
You can take his life but not his pride cause you know he holds it close to him
When your worries wear you down and out,
Rise above
If not for you for those you love so much,
Rise above
She’s coming in from out the cold, to child at home
Her shoes are worn out at their soles, just like her own
Working hard, day in day out, wondering how she’ll get back on her feet
You can take her life but not her pride cause she does it for her family
Chorus
When it gets you down
Its time you went ahead
And turned it upside down my friend
Chorus
Everyday is a second chance
Hold your ground and take a stance again
Lift up your head
He’s going out into the cold without a coat
He roams these frozen streets alone, he knows no home
Waking up, day in and out, trying hard to somehow make ends meet
You can take his life but not his pride cause you know he holds it close to him
When your worries wear you down and out,
Rise above
If not for you for those you love so much,
Rise above
She’s coming in from out the cold, to child at home
Her shoes are worn out at their soles, just like her own
Working hard, day in day out, wondering how she’ll get back on her feet
You can take her life but not her pride cause she does it for her family
Chorus
When it gets you down
Its time you went ahead

Hold your ground and take a stance again
Lift up your head
Unreasonable
No need for reason anymore
Through your excuses out the door
I swear I’ve heard them all before
I just wish I didn’t have to
I know it’s not right
I still want you in my life
And I don’t need a reason If you’ve ever been in love
Your heart just wants what it wants
And it don’t need a reason
My friends they offer their advice
They say I’m out of my mind and to
Pay less attention to my heart
And I will be fine
Chorus
I can not turn my heart off
I can’t make it stop
I suppose you could cut my circulation off But I’d still be so full of love
Chorus
No need for reason anymore
Through your excuses out the door
I swear I’ve heard them all before
I just wish I didn’t have to

Side of the Road
Left on the side of the road, half past three
Smell of diesel burning my olfactory’s
I don’t even know if they know that they left me
Is it all in my mind?
I’ll find my way home cause its mine
I don’t need anyone to patronize
I’ve got my songs and my dreams
Side of the road is no kind of place for me
I saw the signs about a mile ago
That’s when I knew there was no place left to go
I don’t even know if they know that they left me
It feels all too unkind
Chorus
Something about the pain tells me things will never be Something about the pain tells me things will never be the same Left on the side of the road, half past three
Funny how this feels all to familiar to me
I don’t even care anymore that they left me
Cause I know I’ll be fine
Chorus
Left on the side of the road, half past three

Soul Mate
So here we are again, I know its been a while
Ain’t it crazy how your heart is drawn to mine?
And let me tell you now how I missed your smile It brightens up my life just like the sun does to the sky
I’m alive inside now I’m whole
I found the other half of my soul
I’m never going to let you go
Since I saw you last, it’s been a lifetime maybe two
But not a day has passed I haven’t thought of you
So catch me up my love, on all you’ve been up to
But please surrender to my love and once again let me catch you
Chorus
And when I hold you in my arms
And feel the beating of your heart I know that this is love I know that you’re the one
Chorus
And when were grey and old
And even after I go
I’m never going let you go
So here we are again, I know its been a while
Ain’t it crazy how your heart is drawn to mine?
And let me tell you now how I missed your smile It brightens up my life just like the sun does to the sky
I’m alive inside now I’m whole
I found the other half of my soul
I’m never going to let you go
Since I saw you last, it’s been a lifetime maybe two

Do You Know?
When were walking, it might as well be Sunday afternoon
And when were talking, were the only two in a crowded room When we’re at dinner out for whatever that we’re in the mood, Or were just sitting in your kitchen, I’m always in the mood for you
Do you know? Do you know?
That you, you never get old
Do you know? Do you know?
That you, you never get old
When she’s not with me, says she wishes that she could be, She’s itching for her fix
And next time were kissing I can taste the way she missed me on her lips right before she says this
In every little thing that we do
I have so much fun with you
Everyday seems so brand new
I just can’t get enough of you
Chorus
When were walking, it might as well be Sunday afternoon
And when were talking, were the only two in a crowded room When we’re at dinner out for whatever that we’re in the mood, Or were just sitting in your kitchen, I’m always in the mood for you
Do you know? Do you know?
That you, you never get old
Do you know? Do you know?
That you, you never get old
When she’s not with me, says she wishes that she could be, She’s itching for her fix
And next time were kissing I can taste the way she missed me on her lips right before she says this
In every little thing that we do
I have so much fun with you
Everyday seems so brand new
I just can’t get enough of you
Chorus
Floating
Fasten your seatbelt
Prepare for lift-off It’s a round trip flight but the ticket is only one-way
I pack my chute-case
And board the jet plane
Space is confined, my mind’s drifting away
Dreaming of you back in the States
For a moment I’ll be floating
Frozen in time
With all my heart you know I’m hoping
Fate would have me fall into your arms
When we reach the altitude
Attach my parachute
The door is ajar; wind is rushing over my face
Here comes the free fall
Let my fear and then my feet go I reach for the stars;
I wonder what are the odds that you’re there?
Apart from you arms, this is the closest to god that I have ever been
Chorus
Cause in your arms I am safe from harm’s way
You have my heart
Which you won the hard way
Chorus
Fasten your seatbelt
Prepare for lift-off It’s a round trip flight but the ticket is only one-way

For a moment I’ll be floating
Frozen in time
With all my heart you know I’m hoping
Fate would have me fall into your arms
When we reach the altitude

The door is ajar; wind is rushing over my face

Wait for Me
Two teens are swimming in a carpool of dreams
Boy unlocks the door, starts shifting all the gears
Leaves are falling, off to college, he’s more nervous than it seems
Her chest is heaving cause he’s leaving, face soaked in memories
She says, Hold on, I can’t let you leave
She says, Hold on, please wait for me
He’s in an office, a bank of knowledge, but he’s not sure what it means
Her words are famous, little angels, floating off the screen
He’s thinking Hold on I can’t let you leave
He’s thinking Hold on please wait for me
The times they’ve had, though good and bad
They are everything they’ve ever wished they would have
Her lonely eyes scan the room, before boarding on the plane
I come flying out of nowhere, I’m still chasing after dreams
I’m screaming hold on, I can’t let you leave
I’m screaming hold on, please wait for me
The times we’ve had, though were good and bad my friend You’re everything I’ve ever wished I’d have
Please wait for me
Two teens are swimming in a carpool of dreams

Please wait for me
See Through
You must be always running late
Cause you don’t give me the time of day
Trace my hands around the space
Right where you disappeared without a trace
I am chasing a ghost, but I’m the one that’s see through, cause that’s what losing love will do
There’s nothing more to do, there’s nothing left to say, you always put me in my place
You never wander very far
You like to linger right at arm’s length
You say you’re not leading me on
So I keep hanging on by a thread
Chorus
Rays of light
They’ll outline
All the Shadows in the hallways of my mind
Rays of Light
They’ll combine
As I am running circles around these hallways, it’s like
Chorus

Samantha
Tonight I found forever
She comes here for you when you least expect her
All your love inspired
There’s no denying all this heavy desire girl
There’s angels in the air around your hair
Seeping in beneath my skin
So deep they reassure my heart
As sparks go flying everywhere With just a glance from, Samantha
One on one I’m outnumbered
Rendered truth is that my heart has surrendered
Her beauty overwhelming
Touch from her fingers would be too much to handle for sure
Chorus
The way she looks at me shines brighter light than gold
Her touch bears so much heat I think my heart just might explode
Chorus
My heart is in your hands, Samantha
Tonight I found forever
She comes here for you when you least expect her
All your love inspired
There’s no denying all this heavy desire girl
There’s angels in the air around your hair
Seeping in beneath my skin
So deep they reassure my heart
As sparks go flying everywhere With just a glance from, Samantha
One on one I’m outnumbered

Her beauty overwhelming
Touch from her fingers would be too much to handle for sure

Her touch bears so much heat I think my heart just might explode

My heart is in your hands, Samantha
Blink of an Eye
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday’s news
With all your worries, the world keeps turning
With or without you
So while I’m here, I need to feel
All the love I can, it’s so surreal that I’m,
Going to take it all down to the grave, until the day I die
All in the blink of an ...
I can’t help but wonder
Why my sole stirs and it hurts I’m running on empty
With burdens heavy
But I know the world’s not turning for the worse
Chorus
I can’t help but wonder
I can’t help but dream
I can’t help but wonder lately
I can’t help from wondering why
Chorus
