Lyrics by album release
Lovely Heart
Are you going to make up your mind
I’ve had some time to make up mine
If you’ve got some living to do without me
It’s ok
I’ll still be
Waiting on your lovely heart
Even if it’s a lonely start
Waiting on your lovely heart
I can’t cut myself loose from you
And there’s something I know I have to do
If you’ve got to have me gone
It’s ok
I’ll still be
Waiting on your lovely heart
Even if it’s a lonely start
Waiting on your lovely heart
Souls of Salt
If tears could only smile
I might see their personalities
they would show themselves to me
before they fall fast and deep
souls of salt
they lay to rest
for here is the place they choose to die
one by one
I watch them go
I watch them go
There a mystery
Only they can explain in their short lives
In the evening is when you can see
the salt tracks left by these water lines
It’s impossible to hide
Once you’ve seen
the evidence of their short lives
souls of salt
they lay to rest
for here is the place they choose to die
one by one
I watch them go
I watch them go
I’m here for you
When you call on me
I’ll come when its time
Tears have a hold on me
I can still feel something of myself
Desert
That could have been our last sunset
We didn’t count on the sunrise
or the passing of time
There’s a desert
in my mind
and it’s empty
everything before is like a mirage
our futures are pictures in the sand
the winds will change their lines again
I’m in need
of a course correction
before this desert is going to kill me
Maybe I just need to hold you one more time
our futures are pictures in the sand
the winds will change their lines again
City of Lights
Left myself back there somewhere
In the city of lights
Will I have to return to find it again
The city of lights won’t sleep
It only dreams about what might have been
The street that leads you to her
Is the only one that you want to be on
Opened my eyes at 37 thousand feet in the sky
Ask myself why I left her side
She’s still waiting for me
On that street
The city of lights won’t sleep
It always dreams about what might have been
And the street that leads you to her
Is the only one that you want to be on
Does the street even bother to remember our names
Doesn’t matter we won’t ever be the same
And the lights will stay on while you’re dreaming again
Promise
Don’t forget your promise to me
You said that you were going to be better this time
Starting over in a new place and with a new face by your side
I want it for you
Dreams were sold to the young and old
That ain’t you and that ain’t me
We were so young we didn’t know what we were doing with our lives
I only wanted to make you happy
We would have given everything
Until the world would come crashing down
So we opened our eyes
You know how I feel about you but it just wont be enough for you
and in time you’ll see it too
Now I know now what kind of man he needs to be
so we opened our eyes
(Don’t forget your promise to me)
Lonely
How can it be
that with all the love around you you could feel so lonely
if only
someone could make it through to you but you keep the world outside
you built that wall too high
now you’re wishing you were Somebody else or with Someone else
I know I tried
to break that wall
But I can’t
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
Stay with me don’t let the screen take your eyes away
don’t be a cell phone slave
because there’s still magic in the day
but the computers can steal it away
You got yourself too high and now you’re wishing you were Somebody else or with Someone else
Don’t keep the world outside
It will do you no good
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
don’t keep the world outside
don’t close your eyes
don’t build that wall so high
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
Float
Float this is life on a cloud
Why worry about it now
Fingers open and catch nothing
I can’t hold time
Do you recognize me
from another place
am I familiar to you
let’s dance on this cloud
together for awhile
Tapestry
I’m getting back on my feet again
I’m coming back to the world
I see a light I never saw before
It was always on
And this light my eyes were closed to
Blinds me now they way it used to do
One time when I was a child
I’ve been down so many roads
It’s hard for me to feel who I used to be
The past is a tapestry
Pulling it apart won’t set you free
The past is a tapestry
I’m opening my eyes again
Everything fits together now
I knew it one time
When life was simple
How do we forget
Finding things I didn’t know were lost
like the meaning in your eyes
I won’t forget again
I’ve been down so many roads
It’s hard for me to feel who I used to be
The past is a tapestry
Pulling it apart won’t set you free
The past is a tapestry
Remember Your Name
I was there and I watched it on a screen
All your plans and dreams cut off at the knees
And it looks like we watch in silence but we remember what they did
We won’t forget your blood on their hands
I remember your name
We remember your name
They remember your name
I remember your name
When a man decides to
tell it like it is he paints a target on his back
He does it for his children
that’s what it means to live free
When you got to put bars on your windows
because your neighbors have nothing
bad things are going to happen
they’re going to happen
I remember your name
We remember your name
They remember your name
I remember your name
who stands behind every lie they told
and who ran off with all the money
and who decides if death will come today
when it could have been another way
everyone will see the why
when they know
I remember your name
We remember your name
They remember your name
I remember your name
All She Sees is God
The whole world could be falling and still all she sees is god
I tried to tell her without breaking her heart
I spent too much time waiting in the sun
waiting for her to come home to me
But all she sees is god
All she sees is god
I tried to use the words but they all came apart
it’s a man made religion
everyone sees through that house of cards
I was waiting
Waiting for her in the sun
If she wakes up now she might make it home to me
But all she sees is god
All she sees is god
she closes her eyes and hopes for the best
and blame it on anyone else when her plans fail
when the sun rises he’ll be somewhere else
and she’ll be alone
I was waiting
Waiting for her in the sun
If she wakes up now she might make it home to me
But all she sees is god
All she sees is god
I was waiting
Waiting for her in the sun
If she wakes up now she might make it home to me
The Edge
All we have is our hands
our hands help us understand
All we have is our hands
They forgot what it’s like to be human
dollar signs is what they got in their eyes
and on their minds
Greed’s been around for a long long long time
you got to give it all back in the end
every dollar that you stole my friend
Every lie that you told
so you could hold onto the gold
while your brothers are living on the edge
they forgot what it was like to be children
using toy guns to learn the competition
a real gun will make you understand
they can try to take us from the land
and they will if they can
that’s why we got to care
care for one another
You got to give it all back in the end
Every dollar that you stole my friend
Every lie that you told
So you could hold onto the gold
While your brothers are living on the edge
All we have is our hands
our hands help us understand
All we have is our hands
All
You were standing on the the edge of your life
I was just an observer
and when you jumped I couldn’t stay there and do nothing
you already had me
you had me
All or nothing at all
will leave you with empty hands
searching in darkness
for something to hold onto
I was waiting for you to wake up
Told myself it was a matter of time
You change your mind so fast
and I don’t know what you’re thinking
are you done here?
Are you done with me?
All or nothing at all
Will leave you with empty hands
searching in darkness
for something to hold onto
we say things we don’t mean
we clip our own wings
we stand on the edge
but we can never see the bottom
All or nothing at all
Will leave you with empty hands
searching in darkness
for something to hold onto
Smoke
When the futures on hold and you got to sit and wait
and the engine won’t turn over
and you’re dead in the water
when the smoke clears will you finally see
what others have known for years
Wake up to the life you’re living
they give dollars for your time
and steal ideas from your mind
Smoke is there to blind your vision
See through it with your thoughts
just don’t use your eyes
I watch my heros spread their ideas worldwide
then they got paid and they got rich and I watched their purpose die
What were they thinking while they were drinking to their numbers
How come they’re always telling stories about when they had nothing
Wake up to the life that you’re missing
they give dollars for your time
and steal ideas from your mind
Smoke is there to blind your vision
See through it with your thoughts
Don’t believe their lies
There was smoke in the air in the morning
everyone ignored the warnings
and these voices from the past
telling us we may not make it through the night
Wake up to the life that you’ve been given
they give dollars for your time
and steal ideas from your mind
Smoke is there to blind your vision
See through it with your thoughts
Don’t use your eyes
Leads Me Back To You
All the things I see
In a world thats changing in front of me
close my eyes
It leads me back to you
All the things I know
I can’t tell if we’re changing too fast or slow
Close my eyes
It leads me back to you
Everyone wants to be someone else
at one time or another
When we’re together I forget the world
and I remember
I remember myself
When I look around I think I’m taking sickness pills
on a boat in a storm that’s moving left to right
All the things I know
I can’t tell if we’re changing too fast or slow
Close my eyes
It leads me back to you
Information is moving too fast
nobody knows just what it means
do they look you in the eye
when they sell you your multipass
to the events of your life
for you to watch on a screen
Walls
We put walls up and we take them down
all that’s wasted is time
you’ve got your ideas I’ve got mine
What happened to our yesterdays
we used to see eye to eye
I was wrong this time
If you have to go
We’ll meet somewhere down the road
We say things that we don’t mean
just to carry the fight this time
you’ve got your words I’ve got mine
How could I be so blind
with words that cut like a knife
I was wrong this time
If you have to go
We’ll meet somewhere down the road
I miss my friend most of all
we stepped over a line
You’ve got your walls I’ve got mine
Maybe all we have is yesterday
Now we’ve run out of time
I was wrong this time
If you have to go
We’ll meet somewhere down the road
Lift
I want to lift you up
I won’t let you down
I came here to tell you face to face
It’s the way I want to do it
It don’t matter if we make it
It only matters that we try
When you’re down here’s my hand just take it
We can lift ourselves on our own
On our own
I believe in you
You can’t see what I see
What was hard is now easy
Perspective is what you need
It don’t matter if we make it
It only matters that we try
When you’re down here’s my hand just take it
We can lift ourselves on our own
On our own
The Wrong Things
We worry about the wrong things
Use excuses to not spread our wings
if we’ve got the love then it’s all we’re ever going to need
to build something greater than
the world has ever seen
The wrongs things
are still the wrong things
They use words to confuse but still
everyone knows
about the wrong things
How can a man stand up
or a woman be heard in this ocean of message
There’s people that love us and others that don’t know our name
If the message is louder than the voice that carries it
others will hear it and come running
Someday those wrong things they might disappear
The wrongs things
Are still the wrong things
They use words to confuse but still
everybody knows about the wrong things
They use words to confuse
We can’t always trust our eyes
Everyones guilty if you tell it that way
that’s shaking hands with the wrong things
The wrongs things
Are still the wrong things
They use words to confuse but still
everybody knows about the wrong things
Sunrising
She only pretends to sleep
Her eyes are on her window
Soon the sun will be rising
Will she forget the feeling
When the world is new
And everything is dangerous
She tries but she can’t choose
between the man and the world outside her window
Will she fall in love
And what happens if it ends
Soon she’s going to know
That there’s no way
There’s no way
There’s no way
To keep the sun from rising again
She still pretends to sleep
But she heard every word that he said
We’re coming apart
And there’s nothing i can do
When the world is new
And everything is dangerous
She tries but she can’t choose
Between the man and the world outside her window
If she falls in love
Will she hold on until the end
Soon she’s going to know
That there’s no way
There’s no way
There’s no way
To keep the sun from rising again
Horizons
I want to give up sometimes
When I’m not sure that it’s working
Or where it’s going
I want to take back the words
I last spoke to you
I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know there’s always a way
I still see you when I close my eyes
You’re there and you’re laughing
Because I’m going in circles
I want everything to fast
Someday this will all be over
I want to understand
I want to understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know there’s always a way
Can’t Go Home
I packed my bags long before this day came
I can’t stand to see you cry
If you want to blame me
For everything that I am
I’d have no ground left to stand
When you can’t go home
Cause it’s so far away
And everything you used to know
Changed so fast
And your soul has got no place to rest or stay
You keep moving
I’ll stand in the middle of my soul
It’s all that I have
Even if I’m the only one who believes
It’s not that I can’t pick it up and
Start it all over again
Sometimes it’s better to be alone
When you can’t go home
Cause it’s so far away
And everything you used to know
Changed so fast
And your soul has got no place to rest or stay
You keep moving
Endless Summer
It’s a desert of sand
until you reach the water
it’s just a vision
Until the sand burns your skin
And you know that you’ve been here before
Don’t know why you ran away
All you had to do is change direction
The endless summer is calling you
There’s nothing that you need to do
You’re already there
You decide to close your eyes
and let the sun soak your sorrow away
There’s a sweet sound in your ear
Until it’s gone forever
But when it comes back
You know it can always stay
And you know that you heard it before
Don’t know why you stopped listening
All you had to do was use your ear
The endless summer is calling you
There’s nothing that you need to do
You’re already there
You decide to close your eyes
and let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
No Stranger
I want to know the dreams that haunt you
The images you hold inside your mind
The battles you’ve won and the ones that you lost
I’m no stranger maybe I can help you this time
Behind those eyes you’re no stranger
even when you can’t say why
you look away every time
I want to find all your demons
I want to make them go away
The battles that you got going on inside your head
I’m no stranger maybe we can fix it this time
Behind those eyes you’re no stranger
Even when you can’t say why
You look away every time
This is what I want for you
These battles that you got going on inside your mind
I’m no stranger just a man lost in time
Behind your eyes you’re no stranger
Even when you can’t say why
You look away every time
You look away every time
Last Night
Last night you came to me in a dream
and you told me that you still loved me
I won’t leave you anymore
I’ll stay by your side
And last night
Is chased away by morning light yeah
Last night it the night I want to remember
Because you told me that our dream would last forever
And my eyes were wet but it wasn’t from the rain
Last night
Is chased away by morning light yeah
When I wake up and I find that you’re gone
I stop myself and I wonder if you were ever here
I’m a dreamer and I’m going to dream again
And last night
Is chased away by morning light yeah
Grey Lines
I thought I knew
I thought I had it right
When black and white turns to grey
Right and wrong goes away
You got to figure things out for yourself
Grey lines take me away
Street lights blind our eyes
I used to see the world in black and white
but it’s all turned to grey
Where’s the solid ground
It used to be right here
Where I’m standing
When the world shows up to take you down
Will you run or will you stand your ground?
Grey lines take me away
Street lights blind our eyes
I used to see the world in black and white
but it’s all turned to grey
Falling
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
Round and round we go and time just won’t apply
I was hoping for something different this time around
When this is all over and we see each other
Words only getting in the way
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
Falling for you
Hours and days years and moments
When do you change your mind
Forgiveness is easier than anything
When this is all over and we see each other
Words only getting in the way
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling
Falling for you
Sailing Again
Up on the wave I’ll live my life on the bow
You can’t head straight into the wind if you want to get somewhere anyhow
Sailing again
And the wind won’t stop blowing
And the ocean it’s rolling under your feet
Life is returning to me
When I’m dreaming I see waves and they’re still falling
I still see you standing on the shores
There’s nothing to go back to
Because we left it behind
The sea will bring you home every time
Sailing again
And the wind won’t stop blowing
And the ocean it’s rolling under your feet
Life is returning to me
Life is returning to me
Life is returning to me
Let Me
I want to say all the things
I want to do all the thing I dreamed of behind closed doors
Everything’s different now because I know where I went wrong
Let me
Let me
Let me hold you
And hope that tomorrow never comes
Let me
Let me
Let me hold you
I won’t be your stepping stone
You say you love me but everything I do is wrong
You say I can’t sing my way through an honest song
Listen to me I’m going to tell you tonight
Let me
Let me
Let me hold you
And hope that tomorrow never comes
Let me
Let me
Let me hold you
I won’t be your stepping stone
Hardest Part
I want to feel how the first time feels again
To live free because tomorrow it might be the end
Of everything I knew
Of everything I knew
I won’t sleep anymore
My eyes are open
And they’ll stay
The locks are broken
And I’m gone
I’m not waiting for the morning
This jet is taking off in the dark
Because you’re never really ready
For the hardest part
For the hardest part
I won’t sleep anymore
My eyes are open
And they’ll stay
The locks are broken
And I’m gone
Airplanes
I was dreaming with you it was so real
You were standing next to me
I dream of airplanes
Take me around your world
Show me everything
Everything I missed before
When love has gone away
Take me to the place I dream over your shoulder
And see that you’re safe
I was hurting so bad
Now I can’t imagine being that sad
I dream of airplanes
Take me around your world
Show me everything
Everything I missed before
When love has gone away
Take me to the place I dream over your shoulder
And see that you’re safe
Let’s Burn Everything
Toggle Content goes here
Renegades And Healers
I was walking that led to thinking
What keeps the planet up at night
Some got problems, others can’t imagine
Spend their time tweeting over nothing
We gonna fly over everything that they see
No one knows what happens next
That’s when we’re gonna be renegades and healers
The world don’t get to tell me
About how I feel about a burning country
They say that it can’t be done yet
There hasn’t been a man brave enough to stand
We gonna fly over everything that they see
No one knows what happens next
That’s when we’re gonna be renegades and healers
She’s On Fire
She’s on fire
Anyone could see it
There’s a look that’s in her eyes
You know how she’s going to be tonight
She’s making plans even when she don’t understand what’s going on
He’s trying to make sense of what he sees and she knows
That he’s not that strong
She’s on fire
You can see it in her eyes
She’s falling so hard for that man but he don’t see it coming on
She’s making plans but he won’t understand
Because he ain’t that strong
Falling
Round and round we go
And time just won’t apply
I was hoping for something different this time around
When this is all over and we see each other
Words only getting in the way
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling for you
Hours and days years and moments
When do you change our mind?
Forgiveness is easier than anything
When this is all over and we see each other
Words only getting in the way
I feel myself falling
I feel myself falling for you
Conclusions
I’m coming to conclusions
Seeing that illusion
It ain’t always what it seems
Some say that they understand but they don’t really know
Just what it means
We all walk a fine line
We dance with the fear or maybe we’re just busy burning time
The things we keep to our selves
They’re not meant for anybody else
When you’re high your feet always leave the ground
When you wake you find yourself on your way down
Down is where I’ll be
I’ll be waiting for you my sweet
Making the decision
I only want to see clearly
I may have trouble sleeping
Because my head is still spinning
When you’re high your feet always leave the ground
When you wake you find yourself on your way down
Down is where I’ll be
I’ll be waiting for you my sweet
Horizons
I want to give up sometimes
When I’m not sure that it’s working
Or where it’s going
I want to take back those words
I last spoke to you
I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know that there’s always a way
I still see you when I close my eyes
You’re there and you’re laughing
Because I’m going in circles
I want everything too fast
Someday this will all be over
I want to understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know that there’s always a way
Upside Down
I dreamed I was on the outside
Looking in looking in
I found myself suspended
Above my life, it was laid out on the floor
I could see my past and present
Stretched from wall to wall
Everything makes sense when you view it upside down
But right side up is the only way we know how to live
I dreamed it was the summer
And the trees were alive with the birds
And the song were they singing
Meant fall would come soon and so would you
When you’re quiet on the outside
That’s when you’re looking in
Everything makes sense when you view it upside down
But right side up is the only way we know how to live
I dreamed we were still children
Aways looking up instead of down
We spent our time watch the planets spinning
And the moon chase the sun through the clouds
And when we dared to look down
We saw our futures laid out on the ground
Renegades and Healers
I was walking that led to thinking
What keeps the planet up at night
Some got problems, others can’t imagine
Spend their time tweeting over nothing
We gonna fly over everything that they see
No one knows what happens next
That’s when we’re gonna be renegades and healers
The world don’t get to tell me
About how I feel about a burning country

Frames
I keep crashing through window panes
Cause I won’t live my life in frames
Mayday I’m going down
Now I see things from the ground
I’ll tell them when they ask me why
Nothing matters unless you try
I keep crashing through window panes
Cause I won’t live my life in frames
You sleep inside your digital chains
But I won’t live my life in frames
They’re trying to box me in
Patience is wearing thin
These walls can hold you tight
But these walls have windows
I keep crashing through window panes
Cause I won’t live my life in frames
You sleep inside your digital chains
But I won’t live my life in frames
Let’s Burn Everything
We’re all on our way to somewhere
This time I’m looking for the love redirection
Starting over isn’t easy but we do it anyway
Searching for the right words at the right time
I’lll trust my hands because they know what to do
They shed light on everything
Let’s burn everything
Let’s burn everything
Let’s burn everything to the ground then we’ll find
That our love is still standing
I’m going to rise from the ashes
I’ll look the world in the eye
We all play a part in the madness if we could only see
Time will burn on it’s own
Pretty faces come and go
When you reach the bottom
Then you’ll know
Let’s burn everything
Let’s burn everything
Let’s burn everything to the ground then we’ll find
That our love is still standing
Last Night
Last night you came to me in a dream
and you told me that you still loved me
I won’t leave you anymore
I’ll stay by your side
And last night

Last night it the night I want to remember
Because you told me that our dream would last forever
And my eyes were wet but it wasn’t from the rain
Last night

I stop myself and I wonder if you were ever here
I’m a dreamer and I’m going to dream again
And last night
Is chased away by morning light yeah
Voices in Paris
I walk the city with a few euros to my name
I see you in cobblestones
None are the same
The streets lose their names when it rains
The city gets lonely once again
Was there someone looking down on me?
Faces in the buildings have eyes that see
The streets lose their names when they feel the pain
The footsteps that walked here before are back again
Voices in paris
Wont be silent for long
They wash away the pain
After the rain has gone
After the rain has gone
Voices in paris
Wont be silent for long
They wash away the pain
After the rain has gone
After the rain has gone
I Still Think She’s Mine
Living lately on dreams and wine
I tried to forget her but I still think about her all the time
When I think I see her from the corner of my eye
Lately when I see her
I still think that she’s mine
I tried to let it go
But there’s always more to say
When my clouds roll in
An hour can feel like a day
If I think about it
I could hang my head and cry
Lately when I see her
I still think that she’s mine
She’s got to be living
Somewhere out there
I might ask about her
My friends say I’m not supposed to care
We all have our own ways we deal with the time
Lately when I see her
I still think that she’s mine
We all have our own ways we deal with the time
Lately when I see her
I still think that she’s mine
Peg
Waiting On a Rainy Night
I get accused
Of singing myself blue over you
Are you surprised when you look in my eyes
And you find out that it’s true
I won’t trust my heart again
Because I know it only keeps me waiting
Waiting on a rainy night
I’m waiting
Waiting on rainy night
I’m waiting
Waiting on rainy night
Words won’t do when I’m trying to explain you and I
It’s all over now
And the rain that keeps falling is the only thing that hides
These tears in my eyes
I won’t trust my heart again
Because I know it only keeps me waiting
Waiting on a rainy night
I’m waiting
Waiting on rainy night
I’m waiting
Waiting on rainy night

If you take away the only thing that makes me stay
I’ll question it forever
I only know so many ways I can keep it together
If you leave me like you say
Standing in a mirror
What would I say to myself that would make it clearer
I was so high living for you
Don’t tell the lie
You can see what you do
Now you’re gone I’m still standing in this mirror
What would I say, how would I know
How could I, why would I get so
High, living for you
Don’t tell the lie, I can see what you do
I was so high, living for you
Don’t tell the lie, I can see what you do
Airplanes
I was dreaming with you it was so real
You were standing next to me
I dream of airplanes
Take me around your world
Show me everything
Everything I missed before
I was hurting so bad
Now I can’t imagine being that sad
I dream of airplanes
Take me around your world
Show me everything
Everything I missed before
The Endless Summer
It’s a desert of sand
until you reach the water
it’s just a vision
Until the sand burns your skin
And you know that you’ve been here before
Don’t know why you ran away
All you had to do is change direction
The endless summer is calling you
There’s nothing that you need to do
You’re already there
You decide to close your eyes
and let the sun soak your sorrow away
There’s a sweet sound in your ear
Until it’s gone forever
But when it comes back
You know it can always stay
And you know that you heard it before
Don’t know why you stopped listening
All you had to do was use your ear
The endless summer is calling you
There’s nothing that you need to do
You’re already there
You decide to close your eyes
and let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
Let the sun soak your sorrow away
I Know Why
You can’t call her in the morning
She’ll be gone
Don’t try to find her in the evening there’s no reason
You already know
I know why I know why
You can’t sleep even when you try
I know why I know why
You can’t look me in the eye
You can’t sleep even when you try
I remember our first evening
You tried to warn me about your kind
You said deception could happen
I chose to fly it blind
Only he know’s where you’ve been
Only I know what I’ve got to do to keep on with you
I know why I know why
You can’t sleep even when you try
I know why I know why
You can’t look me in the eye
You can’t sleep even when you try
White
I know there’s people in the streets
But I can’t hear what they’re saying
and I can’t see where they’re laying
the world’s gone white
from Beirut to Boston
the world’s gone white
this child won’t know
his life white with no future
the world’s gone white
what was this man thinking
what is he still feeling
is his world so black
its the only way he can make it right
the world has gone white
Loyalty
What am I sticking it out for
I can’t get high if I’m chained to the floor
I learned the wrong things when I was young
Haven’t learned a goddamn thing, not a goddamned thing
Loyalty, I’m done with you
Loyalty, everything you do
And I try to forget what hasn’t happened to me yet
without loyalty she’ll never do it again
I’m on the wrong side of right
Obedience pills never help me sleep at night
Why let myself burn
Haven’t learned a goddamn thing, not a goddamned thing
Loyalty, I’m done with you
Loyalty, everything you do
And I try to forget what hasn’t happened to me yet
without loyalty she’ll never do it again
Gave Up
I show my cards on the table
You turn away because you know
I keep this alive when you threaten
It’s our last night together Or so you say
I gave up hope on us
It’s easy when I’m down
You know just what I’ve been living
I know just what you’ve been dreaming
I know what you were drinking
Because you change your mind when your far gone
You move fast make quick decisions
I keep it together when you leave once more
I gave up hope on us
It’s easy when I’m down
You know just what I’ve been living
I know just what you’ve been dreaming
Keep it together
Keep it together
I know what you were drinking
Because you change your mind when your far gone
You move fast make quick decisions
I keep it together when you leave once more
You You You
I’ve been stuck here on the phone
And i know you’re feeling alone
I won’t let you down
I’ll listen to you all night long
I’ve been trying to get it right
And at the end of every night
The tears fall from my face
And they show me the way to go home
You you you
We got a lot in common
We don’t know whats going to happen tomorrow
You you you you keep on singing
You give your dreams a chance
You give them a chance to run free
I’ve been with you girl and i’ve been alone
Black and white right and wrong
And i’ll still be here to tell the story
Even when the time has gone
I thought i was someone else
Until you turned around, showed me myself
And i’m grateful, grateful, grateful baby
I’m telling everyone about you
There’s No Reason
I suppose you never want to see my face again
I suppose you want to tell our story to all the friends and the friends of the friends
And theres no reason for you to walk out on me
Theres no reason for you to go home and feel lonely
Where did you go and what were you thinking?
Were you making some serious changes or were you drinking?
And theres no reason for you to walk all over me
Theres no reason I couldn’t be the man you wanted me to be
Why do you come back when I sing this song
This song is not for you its for me
We can try and try and try, to do it again
But I don’t want to go back to the way things used to be
Theres no reason for you to walk all over me
Theres no reason I couldn’t be the man you wanted me to be
Gettup
Rock n roll used to satisfy my soul
Now it don’t give me nothing
What’s on my mind is one of a kind
A new music that says something
It’s like who knows today
Who might be coming after you
long after i’m dead and gone
The music just keeps playing on
So dance with me, do just like I do
Cant you see the way I want things to be
I want to set the whole world free
I hope that doesn’t sound too lazy
Cause it’s alright I got the whole night
Just to do it right
Makes you want to gettup
Get on the floor roll it over
Till they beg for more
Who wants to spend their time standing in
Someone else’s line?
Can you feel the groove been there since genesis
It’s the best way to free myself
lets not mess around with what i’m putting down
What i’ve got is the most honest word in town
It’s like who knows today
Who might be coming after you
long after I’m dead and gone
The music just keeps playing on
Dance with me, do just like I do
Makes you want to gettup
Get on the floor roll it over
Till they beg for more
Who wants to spend their time standing in
Someone else’s line?
Blues Blues Blues
I want to give up sometimes
When I’m not sure that it’s working
Or where it’s going
I want to take back those words
I last spoke to you
I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know that there’s always a way
I still see you when I close my eyes
You’re there and you’re laughing
Because I’m going in circles
I want everything too fast
Someday this will all be over
I want to understand
There’s light on the horizon
It shines on your darkest days moving forward
We both know that there’s always a way
I Can See
Your loving eyes they hypnotize
They pick me up and i forget about the floor
Dont whisper dreams but say them loud
The dance-floor is still there
For those who want more
Hey baby you’re looking so good
Now it’s time for you and me to get together
I can see the way it’s meant to be
You call it serendipity
But it’s a decision
Like a lost language no one speaks
something inside you tells you can touch the sky
Hey baby you’re looking so fine
Now it’s time to put the pieces together
I can see for miles around me
I can know just what you feel in your heart
I can see the way it’s meant to be
True love is deep, deep, deep as the ocean
I can look into the future of the future
And i still get lost in the mystery
I still get lost
I still get lost
I still get lost inside your mystery
Light a candle show the way
Look around but try not to look down
You tightrope walk your way through something
It’s your most precious moment and it don’t mean nothing
I don’t know why you deny
The dance floor of your life
When it longs to have you back
Out Of Control
I went searching for redemption
When all my hope fell right through the floor
Hitch a ride on the wind
You told me you don’t want me anymore
Out of control
But I’m still behind the wheel
Feels like I got a whole lot of nothing
In a world full of everything
What does it mean to be alive
The same thing it means to live and die
We see each other on the river
But that rivers gone
Just like the current of your love
Out of control
But I’m still behind the wheel
Feels like I got a whole lot of nothing
In a world full of everything
Here I go into the lost dreams of memories
And I might never have a home
When you’re near you’re look is not the same
And my love is so real I can’t even speak your name
Out of control
But I’m still behind the wheel
Feels like I got a whole lot of nothing
In a world full of everything
Fly

You Don’t Know What Love is
Truth on truth don’t tell no lies
Some men like to fantasize
They’re thinking about their ordinary lives
You only get a small time to be alive
Get in touch just like a magic way
Someone was looking for love today
Some hearts are caring and some things are still worth sharing
its easier to look the other way
listen to these words I say
You don’t know what love is
Until you’re walking on the street in the pouring rain
I spent the weekend in New York City
the drinks were many and those girls were so pretty
It’s hard to say who said what to who
Nothing but a guy and a girl looking for a room
Three hours later and the sky got bright
That couple had walked all through the night
Something went wrong some things never go right
It’s hard to ask for more when you’re passed out on the floor
You don’t know what love is
Until you’re walking on the street in the pouring rain
I don’t know what’s supposed to happen next
Some things in life are better than sex
I can’t even remember the days gone by
Just that look in your eye
Your silhouette against the sky
I locked myself out, without a key
A man alone in a big big city
Now my heart beats fast and with it comes the pain
Now I’ve got to stand out here in the pouring rain
You don’t know what love is
Until you’re walking on the street in the pouring rain
Find My Way Back Home
Time for loving is the right time
Make sure you’re looking for me
Calling out your name as I drive over the hills
I’m coming home with all the thrills
When I find my way back home
I’m going to find my way back home
It’s been a long, long time
And you’re looking finer all the time
Your love is good for me and i’ll be good to you
I’m coming home to show the neighbors just what love can do
When I find my way back home
I’m going to find my way back home
I know you’ll be missing me when i’m gone
look at me now baby, my headlights are pointed towards home
Nothing like blues music to make you feel alright
I got what it takes just to rock you every night
When i find my way back home
I’m going to find my way back home
I Don’t Wanna Know
I’m sitting, sitting in this dark house
I’m waiting, waiting for your headlights
Sometimes it’s easier
Hiding from the light
And there’s words that you want to hear
But you don’t want to hear me say them
It’s not the game that we play
It’s each other that we’re playing
Feels like I’m floating on a sea
I don’t wanna know
What your plan is
I don’t wanna know
Just how far that land is
You say that you love me, that’s right you said it
But the way it sounds, just like you read it
If you mean, all those words that you say
Cause it’s not about yesterday or tomorrow
It’s all about today
And there’s words that you want to hear
But you don’t want to hear me say them
It’s not the game that we play
It’s each other that we’re playing
Feels like I’m floating on a sea
I don’t wanna know
What your plan is
I don’t wanna know
Just how far that land is
Middle Street
From the beginning I had eyes for you
You were waitressing at a cafe on Middle street
And I meant well yes I did but I wanted you all to myself
And I knew one day you’d up yourself and fly away
But you left me standing with a tear in my eye
I found love, love, love, love
On Middle street
You ask me if we
Could stay on this street for just a little while
But the longer that we stay, the less likely we will leave
And it’s three o’clock in the morning
I’d do anything to bring you home
And this street is where we meet and it’s where we have to stay
Because we can’t tell the world what’s going on
I found love, love, love, love
On Middle street
And You’re Gone
I handed you a silver platter, on it was the story of my life
You’re too young to realize, so you waste my precious time
Don’t know why I need you close to me
Don’t know why I love you like I do
And you’re gone and I’m moving on
That don’t mean that I don’t love you anymore
And this song, something you can live on
Until that day you wake up and realize you may have lost it all
Don’t you know, I was thinking we could stick it out for life
In this day when it’s so hard to stay together people breaking up all the time
Don’t know why I need you close to me
Don’t know why I love you like I do
And you’re gone and I’m moving on
That don’t mean that I don’t love you anymore
And this song, something you can live on
Until that day you wake up and realize you may have lost it all
Let Me
I want to say all the things I didn’t say before
I want to do what I dreamed of behind closed doors
Everything’s so different now because I know where I went wrong
Let me, let me, let me hold you baby
Hope tomorrow never comes
Let me, let me, let me hold you girl
I won’t be your stepping stone
Say you love me but everything I do is wrong
Say I can’t even sing my way through an honest song
Listen to me, I’m going to tell you tonight
Let me, let me, let me hold you baby
Hope tomorrow never comes
Let me, let me, let me hold you girl
I won’t be your stepping stone
Say that you’re leaving, I can’t be forgiven
What Happens
I see your ghost chase me everywhere
Only cause I’ve been walking through my past
Sometimes I only feel like half of the boy I used to be
Soul and smile of me, you found a way to my heart and you didn’t want to stop
Believing it would last forever
What happens when you need to find it?
What happens when your heart becomes divided?
Between what you want and what you know
When you find a love could you let it go?
Couldn’t ask you for a thing or two
Indifference paid to a fool
Burn the photograph in my mind
I think it’s time to put this to bed even though feels like
I’m waking from a cold dark sleep
I keep telling myself to let it go
What happens when you need to find it?
What happens when your heart becomes divided?
Between what you want and what you know
When you find a love could you let it go?
I’ve been looking for a solution
Searching for resolution
Can’t seem to get it off my mind
What happens when you need to find it
What happens when your heart becomes divided
between what you want and what you know
When you find a love could you let it go?
Let me say just a thing or two
Like the first time do you remember
So hopeless trying everything I could
Just to get your attention
Young and love, foolish we were
Never see that critical agenda
It’ s just the time and place that we share
And it keeps us forever
Keeps us forever
Lover
You left me standing
Rain is still falling
I’m still burning for you
Times wasting
You’re still running
Certainty long gone and now I don’t know what to do
Lover why’d you have to go
You get my hopes so high just to let me down so low
Kiss me soft and slow
It’s the last chance we have lady we both know
You’ve got your reasons
Everyone’s got seasons
We all changing all of the time
What I gave I meant it
You could have kept it
You should have called it your own instead you’re all alone
Lover why’d you have to go
You get my hopes so high just to let me down so low
Kiss me soft and slow
It’s the last chance we have lady we both know
Don’t you know that I love you baby
Don’t you know that I need you here to get me through what
I can’t do on my own
Lover why’d you have to go
You get my hopes so high just to let me down so low
Kiss me soft and slow
It’s the last chance we have lady we both know
Can’t Wait
Where have you gone tonight, when I need you here
When you disappear, I still see your face
I look for you everywhere
In the crowd I see you standing there
I look again, it’s not your face
Feeling lost, everyone does
I stay here because you might be here soon
Where have you gone my love?
Because I can’t wait
Where have you gone my love?
Please don’t hesitate to show your love to me so I can see
Can’t remember the last words that you said to me
I blocked it from my memory
And I’m so alone in this crowd tonight
And nothing they could do or say would make it right
I look for you everywhere
In the crowd I see you standing there
I look again, it’s not your face
Feeling lost, everyone does
I stay here because you might be here soon
Where have you gone my love?
Because I can’t wait
Where have you gone my love?
Please don’t hesitate to show your love to me so I can see
Regrets
Did I hear you call my name just the other day from your window pane
Rain falling but the skies are clear
Tell me now what did you hear?
And I’m thinking we see things the same
I’m still waiting for the laugh that never came
I said baby
What did you want me say?
I said baby
At least you had fun and regrets will do you wrong
Once upon a time you wished upon a star
I was onstage to the left of the bar
Those wild nights happen without warning
Too many drinks and your head goes soaring
And I’m thinking we see things the same
I’m still waiting for the laugh that never came
I said baby
What did you want me say?
I said baby
At least you had fun and regrets will do you wrong
Say I’m wrong even when I’m right
you got some regrets about that night
Filling in those words unspoken now you claim your heart is broken
And I’m thinking we see things the same
I’m still waiting for the laugh that never came
I said baby
What did you want me say?
I said baby
At least you had fun and regrets will do you wrong
Help Me Up
It’s just me and your memory on this late night drive
And I remember everything I keep it all inside
Help me up don’t you let me down
I’m counting down the hours before I leave this town
Help me up and I’m finding out
You’re the only one, you’re the only one I still think about
It’s about yeah, yeah, yeah
I thought you knew I was passing through
Not much time before I go
Does it change your mind to know it’s not forever
Or do we have to drive this road alone
Help me up don’t you let me down
I’m counting down the hours before I leave this town
Help me up and I’m finding out
You’re the only one, you’re the only one I still think about
It’s about yeah, yeah, yeah
Don’t Lie To Me
I’ve been crying
And I’ve been trying yeah
To keep you from running away with my heart
I’ve been lying babe
Still been trying lady
To avoid the thought of losing you to another man
Don’t you cry to me
Don’t you lie to me
You won’t think about us because it’s wrong
Don’t you cry to me
Don’t you lie to me
You won’t think about me when I’m gone
You’ve been flying babe
I’ve been hiding yeah
When I see you walking out with your other man
Caught you lying
Did you think I was buying
When you said you’d give me everything, everything that you can
Don’t you cry to me
Don’t you lie to me
You won’t think about us because it’s wrong
Don’t you cry to me
Don’t you lie to me
You won’t think about me when I’m gone
When I’m gone
Singasong
I get so tired yeah of calling out your name in my sleep
Still hear your voice on my own
Wish you would sing it to me
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
Sometimes you’re hot sometimes you’re cold
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
I don’t want to be left all alone
Turn it on like we did before
Remember when we couldn’t make it past the door
The years that we give and the place that we lived
We made something worth living for
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
Sometimes you’re hot sometimes you’re cold
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
I don’t want to be left all alone
You’ll find me living in our song
But yours is the one that I want to hear
When the lights go up and the people go home
That’s when I turn to you and I tell you
You’re all I want, all I need, begging please
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
Sometimes you’re hot sometimes you’re cold
Sing a song, sing it for me babe
I don’t want to be left all alone
Way Back Home
She’s what it means to be home for me
I can travel so far and I’ll never be free
She brings me down to earth you see
Save me when I can’t find my way
Help me find my way back home
For most people nothing seems to work out right
Still find myself sleepless in the middle of the night
I’ve got to go I’ll be back for her someday
Only she can save me when I lose my way
Help me find my way back home
You can run so fast you can go so far
You can even run away from your heart
She gives me protection and a road has always got two directions
Help me find my way back home
You’re On My Mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
And I don’t want to let you go
You’re on my mind

Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Say that your love for me comes and goes away
Sometimes our love hurts you so, you’re so far away from me
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
I won’t stop until you know that I Iove you so
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Say that your love for me comes and goes away
Sometimes our love hurts you so, you’re so far away from me

Song About Love
When I Come Back To You
When I Touch You
Get Back
Woke up this morning
And my whole world had changed
I was feeling a little lovesick for the early days
Everyones got a lifeline
They hold onto when the sea gets rough again
But can you tell me what kind of trouble you’re living in
Cause I’d believe in you if you think I could
And if I asked you to do the same for me i know you would
Get back living in the track of a runaway train
Still enough time to turn your world on a dime
Get back stand real tall remember
Be proud of all the good you’ve done
Positive vibration is all you need
That’s what Mr. Bob Marley gave to me
Being lovesick
Might bring you down
You got to do what you can to pick your ass up off the ground
Cause I’d believe in you if you think I could
And if I asked you to do the same for me i know you would
Get back living in the track of a runaway train
Still enough time to turn your world on a dime
Get back stand real tall remember
Be proud of all the good you’ve done
Been So Long
