Hearts need a beat, like awake needs asleep
Like a pen needs a page, to learn right you need a mistake

Oh, yeah

Hearts need a mind, like a clock needs the time
Like white needs black, if you leave I hope you need to come back

Oh, I swear, I know, I believe it
Oh, I can't stop hearing all the singing
Oh, my soul has never had this feeling
And it feels like gold

You got so much love in you
You got so much love in you
I'm amazed that I'm talkin' to you
You look like the songs that I've heard my whole life coming true

Strike all the bells, hit 'em hard make 'em all yell
Celebrate, infatuate, lock us up yeah incarcerate oh!

Oh, I swear, I know, I believe it
Oh, I can't stop hearing all the singing
Oh, my soul has never had this feeling
And it feels like so, so

So much love in you

Some things I should have known to see coming.
And why is it such a burden and why can't I make it leave?
And it's funny that if I don't forgive it will kill me.
So how can I skip the time I need stop the remembering.
Cause I wanta and I needa.

Waiting, Waiting
I'm trying to get out, to get out.
But I'm locked right in.
So take this, take this away from me.
So I can live, so I can live.

We all get there. Years go by we forget to care.
Cause years went by and there's more despair.
The cards are ddealt and received.
And it built up, wears me down it's monotonous.
My personalities colorless, becoming bland and asleep.
And I hate it, that I'm stuck here (wasting time)

Waiting, Waiting
I'm trying to get out, to get out.
But I'm locked right in.
So take this, take this away from me.
So I can live, so I can live.
Oh

Oh Oh woah Oh Oh woah Oh Oh

Waiting, Waiting

But I'm locked right in.
So take this, take this away from me.
So I can live, so I can live.
So I can live, cause I need to live.
Cause I need to live.

I'm not feeling touch
I'm not making that much
And I guess I am blessed
But sometimes it's just hard to see it as such

I'm stuck and alone in the traffic lines
While couples in love in the h-o-v flyby
I don't get it, I'm not asking for much
But everybody wants to just have something
사용자 삽입 이미지

So I'll be picking me up,
Breaking me down
I was lost, was I found?
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong with me
Take a look and brace myself
Everybody wants to make it count

Save me
'Cause I can never float, sinking
Amaze me
And I would be there holding on for life

Sitting again,
Sitting inside this drab apartment
The walls are blank,
It's like they're talking to me.
I put a picture on the wall
I took a chance, I took a fall
She took off fast and gracefully
Yes I was blind and now I see.

And I was picking me up,
Breaking me down
I was lost, was I found?
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong
Take a look and brace myself
Everybody wants to make it count

Save me
'Cause I can never float, sinking
Amaze me
And I would be there holding on for life

And I could tell,
From the picture I could feel
I was sinking.
Pull me out, bring me back to life
The colors that my eyes had never seen
Well I can see it now

Save me
'Cause I can never float, sinking
Amaze me
And I would be there holding on for life

Save me
'Cause I can never float, sinking
Amaze me
And I would be there holding on for life

So save me
Save me
Save me
Save me

So in this hour
Everything I do
Will be all for this moment
Everything's for you

Get up, get up, get up

So much feeling oh, my soul is singing
And everybody feels the same
Is this everything that you've hoped for?

If the real point is seen.

So in this hour

Driving on the ways of the hot and free.

With pennies to my name,

Hello, Good Friend (2005)

Do you ever do a thing or two just to wait?
When you don’t have a thing to say
I’ll try to take this slow, but I don’t know
I don’t want to wait
A time to look, at for the folks who try to say
That we don’t know till we’re old
That’s how it goes
But I think I know

Please pick me I’m a terrible mess
You know I just can’t help it, and I just got to confess
You do what you do; well I can’t have a rest
So still I’m gonna do everything
I’m going to make it right
I’m gonna make it good
I’m gonna do it alright
I’m gonna write it down
I’m gonna make a sound

Cause I’m doing everything for you
Because I love to be near you
So, this just takes me away to place where I’m happy
I’m doing everything for you
Yeah you know that I adore you
And I just can’t take it anymore

You know I got to know

So I’ll be making up things for you to see
Like romantic lights rounding Italy
Cause you deserve the very best
And I’ll never rest
So I’ll be sure to pass that test
And I just smile and say whooooaaaa
Cause you just got to know
That every time you stay
Never goes away
Your reach is to the stars
And shines like the clouds and lights up this whole world (that’s right)
And bless your heart; you’ve made me happy again
It’s been so long and I’m sick of pretending
You’ve been light in the brain in my head
So still I’m going to do everything
I’m gonna make it right
I’m gonna make it good
I’m gonna do it alright
I’m gonna write it down
I’m gonna make a sound

Cause I’m doing everything for you
Because I love to be near you
So, this just takes me away to place where I’m happy
I’m doing everything for you
Yeah you know that I adore you
And I just can’t take it

Cause I don’t want to, wait for another day
I can feel this is right
I don’t want to make this go on for too much longer
And you’ve got a ring less finger
And I can go buy a ring right now
Well, actually I don’t have any money
But that’s ok, cause I can figure it out

I’m doing everything for you
Because I love to be near you
So, something just takes me away to place where I’m happy
I’m doing everything for you
Yeah you know that I adore you
And I just can’t take it anymore

I’m doing everything
Yeah you know I’m doing everything

Beautiful colors that came for you
So this ones goes out to
The reds and yellows and blues
And of course I cant forget all
The beautiful colors
On the day that we first met
So I will never know
The right way to say thanks
For all the nights and days
You spent hanging out

And I, I am not into the idea of being without you

Hello, Good Friend (2005)

Hear me when I speak,
And just listen and try not to be
Some kind of self righteous high being
Or the opposite and mislead me,
To better your mind unseen,
This is a story of how we can be...

They're building you up to tear you down,
They won't admit it but it's true.
Their smile and advice to end with your frown,
'cause they don't want what's best for you.
It's sad I know, I know,
But you know I know something else,
And now it's my turn to just sit back and tell...that...

You don't know just when to stop,
You're living life to be on top,
So step back and be real,
And just admit the way you feel,
And see that we are all one big learning gang.
And it's true that,
We all wanna be the baddest,
We all have a little baggage,
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it,
We are driving this float down main,
In this pride parade...

And I'm not saying that I'm any better than you.
Sometimes I have motives that are just so stupid and I play the fool.
But man, you're killing me
The charade has got to end,
So stop acting like you know everything,
Because you're missing the point,
You are supposed to be my friend...

You don't know just when to stop,
You're living life to be on top,
So step back and be real,
And just admit the way you feel,
And see that we are all one big learning gang.
And it's true that,
We all wanna be the baddest,
We all have a little baggage,
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it,
We are driving this float down main,
In this pride parade...

I don't, I don't know know

Just drive, just drive,
Drive me away,
Take me to another place
Where I know, I know,
What's happening,
To my head and to my dreams
'cause I want, I want,
I need, I need,
Some peace of mind and clarity,
So just take, take my hand,
And let's flee...

You don't know just when to stop,
You're living life to be on top,
So step back and be real,
And just admit the way you feel,
And see that we are all one big learning gang.

Hello, Good Friend (2005)

For about four years I’ve hated this town
Yeah, so much I just wanna get out
Since graduation was long ago
Please somebody get me out of this hole
Cause I don’t want to get stuck in here
When I am thirty-four just talkin' 'bout high school years
No I don’t wanna be there, and feel so stuck right here
Back and forth, side to side, oh my dear

My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
A place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds
Hanging out with not much to do
Just aimless with each other - is what we do

사용자 삽입 이미지

Cause this ain’t where it’s at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin back nobody can take that
And that is that it’s like its all we have

Whoa! Whoa!

Come on say "Oh! Oh! Get on the floor!
Dance 'till you got no more!"
I know its there somewhere
Don’t worry I'll be there to rock the party all night
To rock it 'til there's light our fists in the air
Fightin' the good fight
Cause' we were singing along to Peter Gabriel's "sledgehammer" song
You know it’s clear that tonight we belong in this place
So I step back to reflect in this town I hate
And at least just for a second I think I might stay

This ain’t where it’s at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin back nobody can take that
And that is that

So I'll run away to the hopes that I have
But still I fall asleep in the arms of my past
And when I wake so helpless and thinking of that
I just lay back down

Again, everyday

So maybe later today I'll know
What I will do with my life as I know it
Maybe for now I'll drive back to that place where I belong
And hope to God it hasn’t changed

This ain’t where it’s at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack were always kickin back
Nobody can take that no no no

This ain’t where it’s at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack were always kickin back
Nobody can take that
That is that it’s like its all we have

Hello, Good Friend (2005)

I just ran into a few someones today
Someones that I never really knew
And I used to think how I had them all so figured out

But no, none of it's true cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for its true

So I'm burning the thoughts of the things that I once said
Because you tore down the walls that the world has put inside my head
And I just get sick of things that we think, we think we know

And no, none of it's true cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for its true

So take me and save me and change me and then make me
And embrace me and then brave my heart for you
No, No, cuz I can't go on without you
And it's time for something we never knew, oh

And no, none of it's true cuz I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for its true

And as they strolled along
My heart broke out in song
From all the things and the thoughts and assumptions that I had wrong
See now I'll be on my way to make this claim
I'll make it famous in everyway
I'll make it stay when I will say that...

No, none of it's true cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head for my heart for its true [x3]

Hello, Good Friend (2005)

Slide your feet, create the shock
touch another, watch it pop
live a little, live a lot
and show me everything you've got

사용자 삽입 이미지

Oh, cause it takes some time
and just a little bit of good.
reality won't hurt, well, longer than it should
just talking about pain that is there
face the fact, don't act like you don't care

Cause you gotta stop and show it, just so I know you know it
maybe just a little bit, oh come on admit it right now
cause I know that it won't be over til it's gone
so let it be gone

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out

Now I know it's hard to be something that you don't think you are, oh
but it's hard for me to even try to understand why you are beating your own heart
cause you gotta try, just try to be honest
and I will be honest with all these things that I say
now listen clear, whether break your modest, I'm here
don't hold back, don't hesitate, don't disappear (don't disappear)

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But it's time for you to start
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it make sound

So hey, just let it pour out
don't let your past begin to let you down
just sing it out, just let it make sound
and as heard, it will be healed and found
cause it's normal that emotional past can spawn emotionless dads mothers and nations flags
so show your face, no don't be afraid, no don't be afraid to show your face

After all these things I've learned
about things I do and don't deserve
can easily just shape my life
shape the way, I start to die

No, cause it's up to me
if I dwell much longer than I should
and I'll hold my tears for years thinkin' it's doing me good
so let's start right now, and just make a vow, you'll let your heart, sing it out (sing it out)

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out
Oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah
And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But it's time for you to start
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it make sound

Yeah, Oh, Unh Whoa-oh. Yeah, Whoa-oh oh yeah
Oh, no, oh, oh.

All right. Here we go. HERE WE GO!!

oh, oh, oh, oh

Everyday I wake up late.
Since I quit my day job I have been sane.
But responsiblilites sure do remain, but i'll just let them wait.

Because I don't know what I am doing now,
and I wont try to act like it cuz i sure dont know how.
And i'll admit that I don't know, just where i'm going on this long and winding road
that's taking me to what will be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
and I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what i'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do and what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through,
but just remember what's right forme, might be not right for you.

Staring at this mirror and I'm wondering who you are.
Right now is a time for searching and I just wish i had a car
to drive a long distance and just think about the war,
and now life's got so much more.

Because I don't know what i am doing now,
and I wont try to act like it cuz i sure dont know how.

and I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do,

But I know what I want to dok and I want it to be true.
And yeah I'd be the first to say that of cource i'll listen to you,
but remember what's right for me, might be not right for you

Calendar Days (2003)

Just a calendar day (ba ba ba ba)
it's funny how things can stay the same
or drastically change
some things seem so close on some days
but still so far away
don't know the right things to do (ba ba ba ba)
in fact i don't have a clue sometime i feel like a tool
and i want to be truthfully true to you
and do all the things that you do
but when i hate everything about the mean things that i say
it feels like i mess up so much and i can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
but you tell me i'm OK
and one day one day i know you'll say

"B i'm so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
because the truth you know is that i have just been hating so many things i do
but now i realize forever that you're my friend
no matter what you will never leave me to fend
i don't know much but i know we will be
as happy as a 1950's TV family
except times infinity

two calendar days (ba ba ba ba)
and still my life is the same
and other people's have changed
i wonder what if i'm too late
all the time that i said i would just wait?
and yeah does anyone care
about us here or anywhere?
well i just want to try and dare
to be there, to care 'cause i know- i know that's rare
but when i hate everything about the mean things that i say
it feels like i mess up so much and i can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
but you tell me i'm OK
and one day one day i know you'll say

"B i'm so glad you made it"

because the truth you know is that i have just been hating so many things i do
but now i realize forever that you're my friend
no matter what you will never leave me to fend
i don't know much but i know we will be
as happy as a 1950's TV family
except times infinity

a family that i will be in
a family - it's just not pretend
a family that i will be in, a family

i don't know much but i know we will be
happy as a 1950's TV family..
except times infinity
just a calendar day.

Don't try to hide
the mistakes I made this time,
But please try and listen,
'cus I'm breaking my heart tonight
so you can see what's inside.
'Cus wherever you go, well that's where I'll go.
I'd do so much I'll show but you won't know.
So here's a song to show for the things I've blown,
but I'm sorry so...that's the only way that I know.

사용자 삽입 이미지

And all I've learned is
What we hate we make. What we hate we make.
There's no time for hating. But what we hate we make.

Something is about to change,
I can feel it in my heart today.
And you know it's not the first time,
but I bet it wont' be the same.
'Cus right now I'm at an all time low.
So here's a song just so you wont' go.
'Cus that's the only thing that I know.

And I will start with a verse,
then a bridge, write a chorus,
so we all can sing along
with everything we've got.
But between you and me, the song would be
written for us. But I know that's not enough
to say I'm sorry.

What we hate we make. What we hate we make.
There's no time for hating. But what we hate we make.

And you will know what you will be.
And yeah, you will know what you mean to me.
Yeah, you will know that truthfully
I am sorry.

Work's been rough
Hear too much stuff like
"They don't get it so tough."
Its like I haven't heard that enough
Better luck next month
Here's how it sounds to be let down
After going round and round
You just step back and think "Wow."
I guess it's actually a silent sound...

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me
She's my baby

Becoming lost is where I am at
So much time has passed
And I'm stuck trying to relive the past
And I can't go back
Will somebody just save me?
'Cause I'm growing up so fast
And yeah it ain't really a blast

Because I just dusted off some records that I bought at 14
Then I busted into tears 'cause I didn't believe
The melodies and memories
'Cause then I see
The fallen dreams

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me.
She's my baby
(Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are, yes you are.)
She's my baby
She's so good to me
She's my baby

Woah; yeah you mean everything to me.

Whoa.....

Man I just saw something
I'm glad that you are here.
I got to start to thinking
And seeing things so clear.
Cause now how could I forget
What she left
What happened in November
Is what I needed.
And I'm sorry, that it shows
But life ain't so bad you know.

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!
I'll never leave us you know!

I turn it off for this
Looks like we got what we wished.
It snowed in Texas, but you missed (the 1st time since '86)
And I can't stop thinking of how wonderful this is.
And I'm sorry, I sound glad, but why always be so sad?

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!

Ba Ba Ba Ba....
Ba Ba Ba Ba....

And I know that sometimes oh I might feel alone, so broken, cold
Now I'll show that I know that

The skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!
I'll never leave us you know, whoa!

Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear I wont say what happened that night
So starting today things are gonna be all right
Your best you tried, and yeah you did fine
No better than fine, perfect in my mind
In fact, I wish your heart was mine
And I can hear the memory in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say Im glad we steered that way
Because now were here

Do you want to get away?
Get in the car we can leave today
Do you want to celebrate our just made little holiday?
Cus now today is your day
All that stuff you used to take
Im glad you threw all that away cus now you look so great
You never need to be afraid just know yuo went the right way

Because even though we never get things right
And it gets so hard just saying well keep trying
Its mine to decide when ill be alright

I know youre going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (all you make me)
And things are gonna get better baby
I know everything went wrong ok (ok)
But now its time to get some better days (some better days)
Cus I dont want to keep acting this way

Cus man I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying well keep trying
But its mine to decide when and if ill be alright..
And thats just a thing that take time

So keep going till you know when its time, when its right
Keep showing yourself in that light
Cus back in school man that gets cruel
But one thing is true is that man now look at you
Your heart is big enough for two

Because I can hear the memories in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say Im glad because were here

I know youre going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (you make me)
And things are gonna get better baby
