53 53 53
Take your words down
Bite your tongue and frown
53 more times
A Story With No Words
Continue your story
A story with no words
The rain was falling all day
But now's your turn
We know you hate it
We hate it too
All Aboard
Well time it goes by
While young eyes never lie
Are you ready for this life
You'll never know until you try
Looking up at the sky
All of those blues fill your eyes
And you wonder if it's right
To give it a go this time
'Cause your life is changing
And past times are fading
Are you ready for living
Well climb aboard, all aboard
Why, oh why, can't you see
This heart inside of me
Please listen carefully
To its lonely murmured beat
Alone Since '83
Well go on and think what you want
'Cause this may or may not be another love song
And how many times have you fallen in love
'Cause so far I can't even count to one
'Cause I've been alone since '83
Now don't go feeling sorry for me
'Cause I have done this to myself
And I hope that I don't go to hell
Well come on and listen to me
'Cause these eyes and ears have learned a few things
Now I would love to fall in love
But I'm stronger now than I ever was
'Cause I've been alone since '83
Now don't go feeling sorry for me
'Cause I have done this to myself
And I hope that I don't go to hell
Are You Ever Beautiful
Well you are so hard to understand
But I try my best
You brush me off like a little kid
Who can't pretend 'cause he's so wasted
You break, you take, you make, but then you fall
Was it ever wonderful
Are you ever beautiful
Well you fail to realize
What this pair of eyes can do for you
They'll show you truth without any proof
And who are you to disagree
As Time Passes Us By
It tears you up inside
The way I choose to live this life
As time passes us by
Will you realize
You don't know what it's like
Back In Line
If you don't notice me I'll survive
And put myself back in line
Just take your time
I have taken mine before
Cause you don't know what I need
So don't tell me
Black Eyed Blue Baby
Black eyed blue baby with no clothes
Your face is in a bathtub
And your world is slipping away
Papa was watching the tv
While mama, she's starting to worry
That her baby's world is slipping away
Black eyed blue baby's getting heavy
Water's sinking to her belly
And she's crazy
'Cause her world is slipping away
Sister's in another country
While brother, he's half full of misery
'Cause baby's world is slipping away
Black eyed blue baby scared her family
Red lights they came a flashing
And he came in
'Cause her world was slipping
But now she is ok
Can You Wake Now
Can you wake now
Comments Were Never Meant By Feelings Often Hid
I'm sorry for what was said
And treating you like I did
The comments were never meant
By feelings often hid
Would you take me in
I'm leaving here once again
Cause livin' has never been
Sadder in the end
When dreamin' is often dead
Would you take me in
Coming Clean
My brother what do you mean
The sisters they never see
That trouble is getting to me
Trouble gets the best of me
Oh brother brother before you leave
Tell mother I'm coming clean
But trouble still gets to me
Trouble gets the best of me
It gets the best of me
But I'm coming clean
Do You Know Me
When I wake up I don't wonder where I am
Don't you feel the same way as I do today
Do you know me
As I go on I don't wonder who I am
Don't you feel the same way as I do today
Do you know me
Do You See
Hey baby
Do you see
Everything
Hey baby
Can you see
Is it meant to be
Don't Know Why
You're running after yourself again
But I don't know why
I'd follow if you promise me you promise
But you don't and I don't know why
No you don't
No you don't
No you don't know
And I don't know why
Don't Tell Me What You Want Me To Be
Don't tell me
What you want me to be
Please give me a pen and some paper
I'll write you a letter
About who listens to me
Just give me a minute or later
I'll tell you what matters
About who listens to me
So give me a reason or better
I'll tell you I'll leave you this letter
About who listens to me
Don't tell me
What you want me to be
Every Little Thing
You care that I don't care
You know I know but they don't
You're every little thing
They say what they say
To help me with what I need
You're every little thing
Every Night You Disappear
Listen up and be aware
Everyone knows pain and fear
So take yourself away from here
Every night you disappear
Don't give up year to year
One day your love will near
Everybody Likes You More Than Me
Now everybody's there
'Cause everybody cares just a little bit
Everybody likes you more than me
Nobody is here
So nobody even cares
Everybody likes you more than me
Everyone Is The Same
In your eyes we're the same
But I judge you you claim
You are wrong when you say
That you are right
Everyone is the same
But we're not the same
For One Night
Darling don't you know it's time
To let that rising sun hit your eyes
No you better not lose your mind
Or your father might take your life
Kiss that girl before you die
The city's had its fun for one night
Honey go ahead and shut those eyes
For your mother might end your life
Goodbye
Birds stop singing
When you start pouring
Those tears from your eyes
The world gets sad when
You keep on sniffing
The blues from the sky
Are we all dead when
We think we are living
Praying not to die
The sun still shines when
People keep lying
To faces passing by
We all sleep when
We're tired from working
Those nine to fives
The wind it blows and
Stops us from taking
The time to say hi
Goodbye
Hear Me Out
How can I keep going on
Living life this way
I'm doing everything wrong
I'm following the book
Why can't you hear me
I'm telling you out loud
How could I keep going on
Living life your way
I'm doing everything wrong
I'm following your book
Why can't you hear me
I'm telling you out loud
So please just listen
I know that I'm quiet
But when I've got something to say
No one will listen
So what's the point
Why can't you hear me
I'm telling you out loud
Why can't you hear me
I'm telling you out loud
Why can't you hear me
I'm screaming it out loud
And Why can't you hear me
I'm saying it out loud
How Can You Say That You're Dead
How can you say that you're dead
How can she say that you're dead
How can he say that you're dead
How can I say that you're dead
How can we say that you're dead
I Am Over
I'd be alright
With never seeing your face again
Speak your last words
To me your once friend
I am done with you
I am over you
You only like what you know
And you don't know me anymore at all
I'm growing tired of this
I am done with you
I am over you
I Am What I Am
I am what I am
And I do what I can
For you
I am what I am
Being an honest man
For you
I Can't Stand
I drink it red
That's what I told her
When it was snowing
She listened once
But then she forgot
We walked right in
Without even knowing
That we were so late
How could I predict this would happen
It just seemed so perfect
Things were going
They were going well
I had told her that I wasn't in love
Yet she was upset
I was not upset
I can't stand to be around anymore
How could I predict this would happen
It just seemed so perfect
Is that alright
Make it alright
Is that ok with you
I Don't Understand
I know what I want
You always try to interrupt
I don't understand
I care every time
What you say is on my mind
I don't understand
If I'm Your Last
I know you, but you don't know my name
Therefore you won't go the same way
If you don't see a face again
Won't it be great if I'm your last
I'm Hiding From Today
I don't know today
What's in store for me
And you don't even (seem) care
At all when I'm there (near)
You don't see me coming
You don't see me hiding
It Is What It Is
It is what it is
Why don't you know
I've waited here all alone for you
Why don't you know
It's Ok To Feel Sorry
If you're feeling sorry
For someone poor like me
It's ok to feel sorry
If you really mean
To help me like you do
If you're feeling sorry
For someone like yourself
It's ok to feel sorry
I'll try to help you out
Like you did for me
It's Time To Go Home
Won't you tell what you want to know
I'll you what you need to know
I'll tell you, but you won't (hear me)
Won't tell you when it's time to go
I'll tell you that it's time to go home
I'll tell you, but you won't (hear me)
Kind Eyes (Don't Be A Stranger)
Your kind eyes were so bright
The first time they caught mine
When I'm wrong
You're right
But tonight
It's not fine
Your kind eyes were so bright
The next time they met mine
When I'm wrong
You're right
But tonight
It's not fine
'Cause you are taken
And your words are spoken for
And you say "don't be a stranger"
But a stranger is all I've been
Your kind eyes were so bright
The last time they crossed mine
When I'm wrong
You're right
But tonight
You're not mine
Looks Like You're Moving On, I Should Do The Same
You know what you need
You're running
You've found it I see
It's something
And you're moving on
Am I moving on
I trust what I see
I'm running
I take what I please
It's something
Am I moving on
When you're moving on
Make Up Your Mind
When you try to close your eyes
Mine close instead
And every time you question why
Again and again
So make up your mind tonight
If you can
'Cause I would like to go ahead
More Like You
I'm drinking while you're sleeping
At four in the morning
And all I can do is think of you
It's raining, no it's pouring
You're dreaming, I'm bored and
All I can do is think of you
More Than Yesterday
A lover has passed away
A newborn will take its place
While trouble is heading your way
More than yesterday
Your best friend think he's safe
Drinking and driving away
Now trouble will find its place
More than yesterday
Near
You may know where it is
But I do my best to keep it hid
No one will ever get near it
Need You Now
I might know what it is that I need
As for you, you're blinded and cannot see
I just want to show you around
I don't want to let you down
Can't you see that I'm here now
Why can't you see
I need you now
Never Gonna Change
You say you're leaving today
But the weather's calling for rain
Oh I wish you would stay
No you're never gonna change
Now you're feeling afraid
Pressure's taking over me
How I wish you would stay
Things will never be the same
No you're never gonna change
You will never be the same
No You Won't
If you don't see me
You won't miss me
No you won't
If you don't hear me
You won't trust me
No
If you don't love me
You won't need me
No you won't
Nobody's Listening
You're trying
But nobody's listening
Aren't they even willing
You're trying
Nothing Is For Real
When nothing is for real
How does one feel pain
In the name of love
I am done
Now Or Never
If you find me awaken from sleep
I will go there if you show me
Take me backwards
Now or never
I will follow if you let me
Just to see her is worth the journey
Take me backwards
Now or never
Oh How I Do Wonder What You Think
I do wonder what you think
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
One Day You'll Fall Deep Down
They tear me down to build you up
What happens now ain't good enough
You will fall one day deep down
I'll pick you up if you listen now
I'm good enough to sit you down
You will fall one day deep down
Our Love
If you think your coming
Just let me know
'Cause if you're really coming
This heart will grow
And everyone they must know
That our love
It is so real
If you think you're wanting
Something special from me
Just know that you're my darling
I'll give you everything
And everyone they should know
That our love
It is so real
Out Of Control
We don't know what we're sold
It is so out of control
We are told when to go
It is so out of control
Please Be Something Else
Have you ever wondered what is next
After you're dead
Do you start over
Or is it over
Have you ever thought what is next
When you're dead
There must something
'Cause one life is nothing
Please be something else
Remember
How do you grow
When you have no home
Time is money
And you're broke
With nothing else to do
You're falling down
While turning around
They pick you up again
'Cause they're your friends
And tell my sister I'm sorry
That she has yet to marry
Losing friend is scary
When there's nothing left to do
You're falling down
While turning around
They pick you up again
'Cause they're your friends
You never leave when you should
Remember when things were good
The sun will shine on the other side
But not this time
How do you grow
When you have no home
Searching For Nothing
Can you tell me something
I'm searching for nothing
Can you just say something
I'm searching for nothing
She Don't Know Anyone Anymore
She don't know anyone anymore
And she won't go anywhere but her home
She Speaks In Her Sleep
She leaves when she needs
To be free from everything
Not everyone will get what they want
She speaks in her sleep
She's telling me what she dreams
Not everyone will get what they want
She breathes when she thinks
And tries to believe in anything
Not everyone will get what they want
Slow Yourself Down Once More
Take all you need
Be it one, two, or three, and an even four
No, I don't mind
I said I don't mind anymore
Take what you need
These eyes have failed to see your love before
No, I don't mind anymore
Just slow down once more
Slow yourself down once more
Smiles Often Fade Away
I'm tired from this wasted day
And smiles often fade away
I don't see what you want from me
So please ask me again
I do my best so take my hand
I do my best for you
I do my best for you
Stay The Same
Would you run away
If there's nothing left to take
Would you make mistakes
If there's nothing left to break
Will you stay the same
Would you risk it all
If you knew you would fall
Would you want it all
If you could have it all
Will you stay the same
Take A Step
Take a step back
Try to remember
Tell yourself that
It's not over
And You Run
Take a step when
It's not over
Tell your friends that
That you love her
And you run home
Take Me Somewhere New
Take me somewhere new with you
Take Your Time
So take your time with me
The Sky Was Falling
If you're lonely
Then write a story about your family
When you were growing up
The sky was falling without you knowing
Your friends were stealing when you were looking up
The Things We Used To Do
There's no one around here
I want to go swimming
Won't you stick around
My company's shrinking
Without even knowing
Won't you stick around
Everyone's got something going on
But me
Everyone's got something going on
But me
We could do all the things that we used to do
Nobody is around here
Nobody is around here
Nobody is around here, but me
We could do all the things that we used to do
We could do all the things we used to do
The Walls Fell For You
I have told you
I'm not doing well
The walls around here
They've already fell for you
I haven't asked you
For anything
This world seems to warn you
Of many things
Except me
This Forth Of July
Fireworks light up your sky
When I'm alone this forth of July
Would you notice when I am gone
Are you hearing this lonely song
I would've called if you knew
Of the feelings I long for you
But you don't and never will
So I give up in the end
Again
Again and again
In the end
Time To Waste
I don't mind
Whether or not you stay
For it's our time
Our precious time to waste
Away
If you're fine
With running the longer race
It's your life
Live it whatever way
Today
Today Has Gone
Yesterdays are tomorrows
While today has gone
Am I wrong for believing
In hope or love
Tomorrow Is Today
Tomorrow is today
'Cause everyday is the same
For you and me
And will it be ok
If everyday seems the same
For you and me
Could you be the one
To change me
Could you be the one
To save me
We Wish We Knew
You know that you know
Or so we're told
That's how life goes this time
We wish we knew
And so so do you
'Cause life it flies
Until we die
What Are You Waiting For
You were up north and thinking
Taking it all in
While your friends they were drinking
Wishing it would never end
What are you fighting for
Now you're back home reliving
The same day over again
When you claim you are breathing
But searching for an end
What are you waiting for
What Are Your Thought On Us
What are your thoughts on us
What I Know
Tell me what you want to hear
I'll do my best to make it clear
Oh no
Tell me you want to see
I'll do my best to make you believe
Oh no
You're fighting to ruin what I know
We're fighing to ruin all I know
Tell me you want to be
Is it all you hoped and dreamed
Oh no
Tell me you want from me
Is it always meant to be
Oh no
We're fighting to ruin what I know
You're fighting to ruin all I know
When You're Looking At Me
If I leave
Won't you let me
Be anything
That I may dream
What do you see
Be honest with me
What do you see
When you're looking at me
If I go
Would you even know
Or believe
In the things that I dream
What do you see
Be honest with me
What don't you see
When you're looking at me
Where Will I End Up
I would follow in your footsteps if I could
But where will I end up
Where would I end up
Would you be able to take me home
Would you be able to find my home
I would follow in your footsteps if I could
But where would I end up
Where will I end up
Why Can't You Just Go
April is too slow for you
And they know you were told the truth
Why can't you just go
Will You Come Back In The Morning
Will you come back in the morning
Tell yourself there's more to living
'Cause you don't know my name
When you come back in the morning
Ask yourself what is living
'Cause you don't know my name
Would That Be Alright
Shut your eyes darling
Say goodnight one more time
The days go by
You live your life
Until die
Would that be alright
Watch your eyes darling
Here's a lie
You'll be fine
Do what you like
Be home on time
For your surprise
Would that be alright
You Are Me
I had a few
Before I had a few more
You weren't happy
That's ok with me
'Cause I'm on my own
And when you think you know
You really don't
On my way in
I was tired
'Cause I was up all night
Thinking to myself
That when you think you have won
You really haven't
That's Ok with me
Just don't do it to me
It will make you strong
Stronger than before
I have hope in you
Yes, I always do
'Cause you are me
I had a few
Before I had a few more
You weren't happy with me
'Cause I let you down
You Are So Far Away From Me, Oh My!
You are
So far
Away from
Me, oh my!
You Don't Know Me At All
You don't know me at all
You Go You Leave
On my way down to Cincy
I'm reminded of how I miss Annalee
And what's my possibility of running
Into someone I've seen before
'Cause you go, you leave
On my way home from Cincy
I hesitated to remember
And are you even listening to me
'Cause it feels like you were never there
'Cause you go, you leave
You Tell Me
You tell me your secrets
As you disappear
Don't worry my darling
You have nothing to fear
But then you break
Tears fall down your face
You tell me you're sorry
You're so sorry now
You tell me your life's story
In a two minute span
As you spoke your last words
And smoked that cigarette
Then you shake
Tears still fall down your face
You tell me you're sorry
You're so sorry now
You Told Me So
When will you show
What I don't know
One day you'll grow
You told me so
You Try, But Fail
You leave me alone
You try to find home
You try and fail
Now you're alone
You leave me alone
You try to find home
You try, but fail
You're now alone
You'll Be Fine
Take your mind off of him
Rest your eyes a little bit
You'll be fine
At the end of it
You'll be fine
It's not like you to give it up
It's not like you to give him up
It's not like you to give me up
It's not like you
Leave on time or you'll regret
Every line you've ever read
You'll be fine
At the end of it
You'll be fine
You're Never Around Blues
I'm always wasting (my) time sitting around
For you I'm waiting
You're never coming around
