Ain’t been a good year
been out here workin’ on my resume of losing
and tell me what do you do with a drunken failure
it’s harder now
than it was thge day before you left me here
standing in the mirror man what I saw
I’ve become what I hate but I don’t hate what I’ve become
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a new man
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a changed man
here we go again
waitin’ on the calendar to set me right
New Year’s Day is come to save my soul
all’s forgot
new year new me better stick this time
am I a broken record or a broken man
all I need’s a few more days
all I need’s to turn the page
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a new man
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a changed man
pray it’s not the same sun
that sets on December
that rises on January 1
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a new man
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a changed manfive days from now
you’ll be looking at a new man
five days from now
you’ll be looking at a changed man
five days from now

It won’t kill you and what doesn’t kill you makes me stronger
it wouldn’t kill you to walk away
but you don’t care about the people or the consequences
you just care what your friends would say
every word you taught me I’ve unlearned found it best said another way
every book you gave me to hell I’ve burned ‘neath the cover of the light of day now that you’re staring at your phone and over your shoulder
you might see it a different way
it may come to you while you’re lying in the bed you made
how’re you sleeping these days
every word you taught me I’ve unlearned found it best said another way
every book you gave me to hell I’ve burned ‘neath the cover of the light of day if that sound like what it feels like yeah I’m doing okay
every word you taught me
every word you taught me I’ve unlearned found it best said another way
every book you gave me to hell I’ve burned ‘neath the cover of the light of day
every word you taught me I’ve unlearned found it best said another way
every book you gave me to hell I’ve burned ‘neath the cover of the light of day

The Crossing
04:54

Come my friends gather near lend me minutes of your ears
about a dream I had last night left me drenched in sweat wide eyed upright through musical scenery I gave chase over rolling hills and city streets
I shake with rage it’s not my fault I’m an outsider left in the cold
cause I read somewhere about my perfect place and I’ll meet you there
standing by the crossing
and I dream sometimes about outer space
alone in the stars
dreaming oh dreaming
I’m not a loose cannon I’m firing a warning
as the fog rolls in by the light of the moon
nobody speaks nobody bothers in places where demons of our past loom
standing on a wall I could fall and I just might
you don’t know where I’m coming from don’t tell me that I’ll be alright
cause I read somewhere about my perfect place and I’ll meet you there
standing by the crossing
and I dream sometimes about outer space
alone in the stars
dreaming oh dreaming dreaming oh dreaming
hold me so close that it hurts make me understand you’re my perfect place
hold me so close that it hurts make me understand
come my friends gather close allow me to propose a toast
cause when the judgement day do come we will meet the chosen one the chosen one cause I read somewhere about my perfect place and I’ll meet you there
standing by the crossing
and I dream sometimes about outer space
alone in the stars
dreaming oh dreaming dreaming oh dreaming

Slow Me Down
02:56
|
|||
|
Roaring down the coast
like some holy roller yelling that the world has gotta change
only halfway home
and I can’t keep my mind from racing like the tire against the road
slow me down gotta take the long way around slow me down
they said time will tell
and I said time will heal me but slower than will mixing up a gin
we’re both here but only one is speaking only one is listening
we’re both here but only one is leaving only one comes back again
slow me down gotta take the long way around slow me down
we’re both here but only one is speaking only one is listening
we’re both here but only one is leaving only one comes back again
slow me down gotta take the long way around slow me down

Saw your mother on the news
she didn’t know what to say and who could blame her
a thousand microphones up in her face
saw another one today
a different one then yesterday
a thousand miles in shoes I’ll never wear
oh they’re looking for some answers
and being told you just can’t ask the question
not right now not that way
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand in your shadow
I was hoping you would let me stand right here and raise my fist like you do
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand here beside you
I’m not sure what I can do ‘cept say if they’re coming for you
they’re coming for me too
when the skin you’re living in
doesn’t seem to fit you quite the same way
it fits everyone else around you
and it feels like giving in
to live a life that leaves everybody comfortable but you
oh just ‘cause you know the answer doesn’t make it easier to ask the question
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand in your shadow
I was hoping you would let me stand right here and raise my fist like you do
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand here beside you
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand in your shadow
I was hoping you would let me stand right here and raise my fist like you do
I was hoping you would let me stand right here stand here beside you
I’m not sure what I can do ‘cept say if they’re coming for you
they’re coming for me too

Garden
03:34

Are we making love or marking time
another day another night soaked in tv light
are we building up or breaking down
now the roof has gone to rust rooms full of dust
and I’m just another man who picked you up and let you down again
I built you a house that don’t keep out the cold
I planted a garden but nothing ever growed
goodbye to my love hello to the road
ashtray full of ash and dope
while miles and miles of roads keep me on my own
all the way to mostly out of here
getting lost and breaking down
halfway to all the way gone
can’t help hoping that you will come pick me up and bring me home again
I built you a house that don’t keep out the cold
I planted a garden but nothing ever growed
goodbye to my love hello to the road
heaven knows I’ve been trying but I can’t be what you needed me to be
I built you a house that don’t keep out the cold
I planted a garden but nothing ever growed
goodbye to my love hello to the road
goodbye to my love hello to the road

Heartache & Roses
03:24

Another town the band’s real tight
breaking hearts under red bar lights
yeah but it don’t seem right without you
driving home late at night
I’m counting mile markers and red tail lights
yeah but it don’t seem right without you
cover me in heartache and roses
carnations for luck and love
come and tell me all of the reasons you’re dreaming of
for leaving
outside her place she invites me up
kisses my face puts her arm around my waist
close the blinds and kill the lights
but it don’t seem right honey without you
cover me in heartache and roses
carnations for luck and love
come and tell me all of the reasons you’re dreaming of
for leaving
cover me in heartache and roses
cover me in heartache and roses
carnations for luck and love
come and tell me all of the reasons you’re dreaming of
for leaving
cover me in heartache and roses
carnations for luck and love
come and tell me all of the reasons you’re dreaming of
for leaving
come and tell me all of the reasons

Of all of the times you knocked on my door this is the one I like you the most your logic is lost but your spark has returned now you can’t think
well look what we’ve learned
and I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
you took the knife and I took the blade now we’re both lost now we’re both saved you echo my thoughts repeated my words took what I knew and made it absurd
I scream like a boy cry like a man
can’t change who you are won’t change who I am
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
the world seems lost
rudderless
we float downstream
regardless
the clouds will open up exhaling calmly
blessing us with paper airplane flight
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink
I’ll rock the boat I’ll rock the boat
so I can float
so I don’t sink

One For Every
02:07

She took my hand
traced lines in the sky
one for every time she told a lie
or stole the taste off the lips of another lover’s face
hey hey
she took my hand
led me where
we shared the words for the first time
whispered every last line
just for me to hear
and made me swear
I’d never let another near

Remember
02:55
|
|||
|
Make your heart remember
take care of the things you cannot change
places faces traces of dreams and make believe
dance halls and last calls and hard falls
will put you in your place
make your heart remember
the first love you ever gave
the light the heat the fight
and long drive back alone from the city
the morning light
her hot breath on your neck
that feeling is a gift that she gives me
what you care what you caused
all you became and everything you lost
love that you crossed
lessons you learned
those that have passed will never return
make your heart remember
the first love you ever gave
the light the heat the fight
and the long drive back alone from the city
the morning light
her hot breath on your neck
that feeling is a gift that she gives me

Same Place, Same Time
04:48

How does your hair fall
so perfect each time
and how do we get to
the same place same time
never was a man who
had a winning first line
I knew when I saw you
I had to make you mine
how can a smile
weaken a man’s heart
and how do we get where
we were at the start
so dance with me darlin’
I’ll spin you around
the world will stop turning
you won’t hear a sound
how does your hair fall
so perfect each time
and how do we get to
the same place same time
how do we get to
the same place same time
