That'll Be The Day
04:12
|
|||
|
Summertime rolls around,
And I'm looking like crazy,
I'm standing on middle ground,
I need someone to lead me
But every time I go hunting
I end up gracefully with nothing
I heard the fast pace, a steady race will get you there
That'll be the day...
And the bathroom smells like whiskey,
And the hallways are vacant from your touch
I feel the walls around me
And I need you so much
And just so you know,
I don't break that easy
And just so you know,
I cry like a baby
Well I could stand out in the winter
Colder than ever
Take it to myself in a soul search endeavour
Let go of the things of my past
And try to make something last
Yeah that'll be the day...
Well I'm sick and tired of all this
Working and seeing nothing
It's just like business
I though i was worth something
Pre-chorus
Chorus

Firelight
03:57
|

|
My friends they say
You've sure got a lot of stuff on your mind
Why don't you try to relax,
I said I can't without the answers
Sometimes I walk down the streets at night
To try to clear my head
Think about what that crazy man said
Again to me
Because I can't shake the memories
And I'm sick of feeling half empty
I need somebody to send me...
You laid the blankets out under the stars
While the fire burned bright and I said
Come here a little closer, I could kiss you all night
And the moonlight would shine into your eyes
And my heart would sink to the floor
Then he said I know you love me babe
But I think that I need more
My folks they say, shake it off there'll come another one
Why don't you try to kick back,
The more you lose the more you want some
Sometimes I lay down at night in bed to think of
What could be done, what could be said
To try and pick up the pieces, and put them together again
Pre chorus
Chorus

Check Mate
04:01
|
|||
|
I never thought that kiss and tell
Could be such a dangerous game
Before I had something to sell
Now I’ve got nothing to my name
I saw you there, I sought you out
I thought I’d checked my mate
But you were leaning on a cold shoulder
When you passed my way
And now you think about
The ways you could have changed it
If you only would have seen it coming down
You set your sail up and you took to one direction
But you never turned the stern or the bow
And then he said how,
How do you do?
I guess I’m doing fine
I guess I just thought that you would always be mine
So when you took the turnaround, I took the alternate route
I swung by the long and found and left you something fool proof
That you were there, and I was scared and now there’s no debate
And every players got to play the game that’s why they call it check mate
Pre Chorus

Honey Bee
03:56
|
|||
|
You said you've got something to say,
I said I love you but I can't stay, turn back the other way
You said you're sorry and you made a mistake
I said, listen now to the words I say see
You might be in it for my sweet love,
But I'm not about to be a part of
Your games and your chasin' because your lies I'm tracin'
And I'm not going to lose this time
See I'll play babe if you pick up the pace
I love you but I'll leave you if you ever lie to my face,
So come back the dirt way,
Keep it on the offstage
This is a coming of a new age
For you and I x 2
Instead of baby baby,
Can you call me honey
I'd like to take a piece of you outside
You said you want to save me
I think you want to break me
I dare you to step a foot closer my friend and try
So take the back seat boy,
And listen up this time
I've got you wallet in my pocket and all your money is mine
I've got the five dollar bills that you wasted on me
I've got the few cheap thrills you used, that nobody else could use on me
And now it's two times, you're just stepping around
You've got, soft shoes that don't push the ground
So wipe your feet off at the back door
Because you're certainly not welcome here anymore
You make up, you break up then you try,
To find peace to find love in his eyes
But it should come to no surprise when he's
Looking in your best friends eyes
So forget the second chances,
They don't exist in romances
And there's bound to be another train that passes
Chorus

Drag On
04:10
|
|||
|
Lay on your side, sit down, lay down pray to god,
This isn’t your real life
Look to the stars open arms for the answers,
and hold on to them tight
It’s not up to you to be true to yourself
Just pass it on to the next guy
And hold on for dear life
Don’t need a job I need a break to make
Something for myself
Keep that up and you’ll wind up just like everybody else…
And drag on with the people who don’t know why
They’ve got to live their lives empty until the day they die
And drag on with the people who look to the sky, and they
Are blue in the face looking for the reasons why
And there’s blue collar, white collar all defined so by their dollar
And not the difference between,
Who was brave, who fought longer who made the world stronger
Who is fighting for the right to speak
Mark it square my body’s there, but my mind is on a race
Trying to keep up with the real world and all of those who’ve got it made
Chorus
I've been waiting for this,
got my plans wrapped up in my fingertips
So there's no use pointing out the things I've missed,
Because I'm half as sure that somethings going to give
Chorus

Tightrope
03:32
|
|||
|
How long will it take
for them to read between the lines and stop hoping?
Before they break the ties
and let go of all the lies that they’ve been keeping
He’s become her way
of dealing with the things that ache and things that aren’t
And I’m watching with blind eyes
the way he reconciles her cries so recklessly
But when it comes down, to what he wants
She’ll put her hands down, and bear no guard
Because it’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
And how long will it take before they find that it’s too late
To turn around
They’re breaking down with time but both walking a thin line
between loss and longevity
Pre chorus
Chorus
I know you’re feeling lost at times,
When everything you ravel just unwinds
You’ve got to lay it down, for the last time
For the last time
Chorus

Back Again
03:46
|
|||
|
Now that I’m on my way
To a place that I have not yet been
On my own two legs,
And with a shallow breath I take it all in
How could you’ve possibly known
That I would run away
How could you think it would always be
An ever after story of true love…
If you would just come back again,
I'd be waiting.
Come back again I’d be here,
With my fingers crossed and I’ll be hoping
That you will find your way back to me
It’s your love that I lack now
And tomorrow's coming fast
So why don’t you cut me some slack
This time we’re going to make it last
With my head hung high,
I let go of my pride
When I look back
At what we had
Chorus
Farther lies, the truth ahead
The longer that we hang our heads
And try to move on from what we were
Life is fine and it loves to line up
The things we need to get a grip on,
And carry them through within ourselves

Sunny Day Song
04:15
|
|||
|
Get up out of bed
Rise and shine
Kick your feet up because it is
Beautiful outside
Hurry up I said
Don't waste your time
You've got to realize that days like this are
One of a kind
We could go for a drive
Watch the bluebirds fly
On a sunny afternoon,
My oh my how the time flies
Yeah, why don't you come over
Yeah, it's here and now or never
Yeah, you've got to be a little bolder
With your choices, no one rejoices anymore
We could hitch a ride on the side of the road
Pack a bag, a book and we are good to go
And if anyone should want to tag along we'd say
Come and write your sunny day song
Because when we're driving down the road
Anywhere we will go
And when the night falls down on us all
We'll have to throw up our arms
And together we will call
Chorus
You could try to let go,
But then we'd turn around
Pick your feet off the floor to get you out of this town
And there's no turning back until you get what you asked for

Love Will Come Around
03:39
|
|||
|
How do you get up and go
When what used to be there to come home to
Both disappeared on the streets
Of a drunken city avenue
And all you can do is get up
And hang tough, but your heart keeps calling
Someone stop me from falling, stop me from falling
Stop me from life
Because it feels like I’m hardly breathing
When I think about it now
It feels like my world is caving
From the inside out
It feels like I will be waiting,
Will be waiting forever
For love to come around
I worked the morning time twelve to eight am, where I'd
Mop the floors at night
Singing along to the radio playing inside the café walls in the dim light
And I met a man there who told me his story of life on the streets
Through the dead of the winter, through the nights and the weeks
He said: “I think I’m in love with you, this is me calling you home to me”
So you can stop me from falling, stop me from falling, stop me from life
Because it feels like I’m hardly breathing
When I think about it now
It feels like my world is caving
From the inside out
It feels like I will be waiting,
Will be waiting forever
For love to come around

Pardon My Eyes
03:57
|
|||
|
I am not weak, but oh my knees are shaking
And I'm fond of you my dear.
I'd be complete, if you'd just love me
And forever share with me the years.
I cannot sleep, I only daydream
Take me where you want to would you please
I'd be just fine, with you beside me
To take my hand so we can make-believe
and sing, ladada n dadada n dada
So pardon my eyes
But I'm not done looking
At your smile
And pardon my smile
But I won't stop grinning
For a while
You'd be my first in line for anything
You are my conscience, you're my heart
You are my right hand, you hold me up
You keep me strong when I am lost
And that's the worst that I can say
Chorus
I will follow you wherever you go
Can we not waste any time
I will love you just as high
As we can climb.
