No Time For Love Songs
03:35
|
|||
|
I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
We’re starting to unravel at the seams
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
How come everybody’s gotta be so mean?
I want to sing a song
That’ll make you stop and think
Instead of turning a blind eye to all that’s wrong
The world doesn’t need
Another broken hearted outlaw
Belting out another whisky drinkin’ song
Oh I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
Polar bears are drowning in the sea
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
Price is high in the land of the free
I can’t stand to see a child
Taken from her mothers arms
Or the willingness of those that look away
Life’s not fair and just
But find a better way we must
Don’t wanna hear another song about highways
Oh I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
Stop singing ‘bout them trains, oh thank you please
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
Try and find a better way for you and me
We may not see eye to eye
But I’ll love you just the same
Let’s get together instead of trying to place the blame
Though we may not agree
I know there’s hope for you and me
To seek salvation before we all go up in flames
Oh I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
The fruit ain’t gonna grow without the bees
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
Try and find a better way for you and me

Spellbound
04:26
|

|
I told you nice
And I’ll tell you again
Just like I told you the first time
And I’m tellin’ you the last time
Some say life
Is a means to an end
We’re all looking for answers
And I know that you’re hurtin’
You’re spellbound, I can’t seem reach you
Tell me what are you searching for
You best slow down for you hold all the pieces
Oh but fear is the devil you know
But it’s better than the devil that you don’t
Take my advice
From a word of a friend
To worship a monster
Such a foolish endeavor
Don’t get carried away
They’re selling nothing but lies
And I told you the first time
Don’t misunderstand me
You’re spellbound and I can’t seem reach you
Tell me what are you searching for
You best slow down for you hold all the pieces
Oh but fear is the devil you know
But it’s better than the devil that you don’t
When we were young
And people were kind
Can we ever get back there?
I’m still looking for answers
You’re spellbound and I can’t seem reach you
Tell me what are you searching for
You best slow down for you hold all the pieces
Oh but fear is the devil you know
But it’s better than the devil that you don’t
I told you nice
And I’ll tell you again
Just like I told you the first time
And I’m tellin’ you the last time

Circle The Sun
03:57
|

Oh, if I could only rewind
Go back to the point where your picture
Isn’t faded
No, I can’t pick up the phone
And tell you a story that made me
Think of you
Circle the sun
Oh how it flies
We’ve no place to hide
You, you are the light
Though you’re not around I
Can still tell on you
And I, I try to find
A place where I see your reflection
Inside of me
Where did you go?
Oh how I cried
Thought we’d have more time
Circle the sun
Oh how it flies
We’ve no place to hide
Oh, maybe I’m wrong
It seems like the end is the same for
Every one of us
And you, you came along
And I was better for having
You around
It gets us all
Try as we might
We all cross that divide
Circle the sun
Oh how it flies
We’ve no place to hide

Eyes Wide Open
03:43
|

|
Look ahead
Not behind
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
I know
These are some troublin’ times
Take a shot
In the dark
I won’t wait for you
I’m gonna make a spark
Step out from the shadow
To the light
Oh baby don’t run and hide
Stay steady, we’re turning the tide
We’ll change
One thing at a time
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
Head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
Oh the hurting
Is hard to see
Inescapable
For even you and me
It’s a burden
Even privilege can’t hide
Take a stand
You decide
I won’t speak for you
I am on your side
But your silence
Feels like a lie to me
Oh baby don’t run and hide
Stay steady, we’re turning the tide
We’ll change
One thing at a time
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
Head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
Oh baby don’t run and hide
Stay steady, we’re turning the tide
We’ll change
One thing at a time
Oh baby don’t run and hide
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
My head ain’t in the sand
My eyes are open wide
Ooh

The Last Laugh
04:43
|
|||
|
You left the building
You sang us your songs then you hit the road
Down that rolling highway
You told us your stories
You strung us along man I had the best laugh
I’ll carry it with me
You’re here then you’re gone
It doesn’t feel real
So hard to go on
Man this wasn’t the deal
But I can hear you laughin’
I’m still here
I’ll carry on
Hold on tight to the memories
It’s all I have
You got the last laugh
We talked for hours
Cigarette smoke, hopes and dreams filled the air
I can feel you brother
Drank all the red wine
But that didn’t stop us from hangin’ all night
I wish I could go back
Dead and you’re gone
It doesn’t feel real
So hard to go on
Man you got a bum deal
But I can hear you laughin’
I’m still here
I’ll carry on
Hold on tight to the memories
It’s all I have
You got the last laugh
This city is crowded
But we lost one of the best that we had
Wish you had stayed a little longer
You made the papers
Now everyone’s finally singing your song
And I can hear you laughin’
Of loss and regret
You know I have none
You won’t disappear
I’ll carry you on
And I’ll hold you near
You tall son of a gun
I can feel you laughin’
I’m still here
I’ll carry on
Hold on tight to the memories
It’s all I have
You got the last laugh
I’m still here
I’ll carry on
Hold on tight to the memories
And I’m alright
You got the last laugh
You got the last laugh

So Impossible
03:57
|
|||
|
Don’t lie to me
Don’t even speak
It cuts through me
And all the things we meant to be
Cowardly
I thought you were brave
But now I see
Shrouded in uncertainty
How we let it get this far
I’ll never know
Everything that goes up must come down
No one is immune to what goes round
More lost than found
You’re so impossible
Losing sleep
I need a break
A brief reprieve
You never notice what I need
I’ve played along and now it’s time
To say goodnight
Everything that goes up must come down
No one is immune to what goes round
More lost than found
You’re so impossible
No guarantee
What lies ahead for you and me
And everything we hoped to be
We’ll trudge along
In spite of all the evidence
Everything that goes up must come down
No one is immune to what goes round
More lost than found
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible

The Silver Line
04:18
|
|||
|
As I rise to the golden light
Get out of my bed, I’m out of my mind
There’s a breeze and a silver line
Facing the day, another reason to fight
Take it back
Start it over
I'm on fire
I’d cry but I can’t
Though these hands
They can’t hold you
I still feel you shining in the sun
Up above and down below
Just like that you’re here then you’re gone
How do I keep you with me
When memories fade and bend with time?
Take it back
Start it over
I'm on fire
I’d cry but I can’t
Though these hands
They can’t hold you
I still feel you shining in the sun
If I crack you might slip through
If I’m strong it’s ‘cause of you
Some things you can’t replace
No time that can erase
There’s no getting over you
Day by day, shadows count the hours
Till we meet again on that silver line
Take it back
Start it over
I'm on fire
I’d cry but I can’t
Though these hands
They can’t hold you
I still feel you shining in the sun
I still feel you shining in the sun

There Is A Song To Sing
04:00
|
|||
|
There is a song to sing
Another tale to tell
In every allegory
A different side to see
Another page from me
Yet we’re part of the same story
Oh when will you ever understand?
You work your life away
But you’re getting nowhere
The way you’ve been going
All the secrets you keep
Are bound to be the darkness
If you don’t let the light in
Oh when will you ever understand?
Oh when will you ever understand?
Should we fall from grace
We can rise up tomorrow
When it’s time to greet the new day
‘Cause there’s a choice to make
We can bend or break
But we better find forgiveness
Oh when will we ever understand?
Oh when will we ever understand?

King of the Castle
04:05

You
You are my rock
My greatest teacher
You open up all the doors
My biggest fan
King of the castle
King of the castle
You said that love is everything
So keep it close
You taught me how to tend it
And watch it grow
When this wicked world is at its worst
Show them your best
Not a day goes by when the things that you said
Aren’t ringing through my head
You
You are my rock
My greatest teacher
You open up all the doors
My biggest fan
King of the castle
King of the castle
If I could ask you anything
What would it be?
A couple thousand questions
Come to me
I never thought the day would come
When you’d be gone
And I have not one single regret
But a lot I’m thankful for
You
You are my rock
My greatest teacher
You open up all the doors
My biggest fan
King of the castle
King of the castle

Pride of the Wicked
03:58
|
|||
|
Oh the pride of the wicked
Will come before
But takes so long to fall
Ain’t it a bitch
They get away with it
Try to ruin us all
There’s light for every shadow
A page for every turn
And twisted tale
It’s a shame
They’re all laughing
When they watch us fail
When did we lose our North Star?
Did it burn out? Was it fading along side us?
Oh how did we make it so far?
Lost in fools’ dreams from a time that’s long gone
Not a day goes by
When thoughts of blue
Don’t waltz across my mind
Day after day
Comes faster
And we’re losing time
But I’m tired of the shadows
That hold us down
Like footsteps on our grave
When the pride
Of the wicked
Makes us rue the day
How do we find our North Star?
Did it burn out? Was it fading along side us?
Oh how did we make it so far?
Lost in fools’ dreams from a time that’s long gone
