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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
