That Time Again
03:05
|
|||
|
Have a little faith
Here, have a little more
There’s a smile on her face
Seems like we’ve both been here before
And I don’t know what to do
I can’t leave it all to you
And now it’s that time again
Now it’s that time again
Time to turn around
Time to leave this town
Go back underground
And contemplate all that I’ve found
I didn’t mean to say goodbye
And I hope that you won’t cry
‘cause now it’s that time again
Now it’s that time again
Time to turn around
Go back underground
And I don’t know what to do
I can’t leave it all to you
And now it’s that time again
Now it’s that time again

Not Meant To Be
02:42

She looked in my eyes
Saw right thru my disguise
She knew I could be with her happily
But something unsaid went through both of our heads
And now we both know this is not meant to be
She took a deep breath and sighed
I fixed my collar and tie
The timing’s just not right
She said that someday
She’d like to move away
Where she can’t say, no not definitely
And so I’ll convey that I know I can’t stay
And now we both know this is not meant to be
Now we both know this is not meant to be
We speak no words, but still I hear her out
The cards won’t fall for her and me
I tell her don’t be afraid to let him take you out
I won’t take it so badly
It’s time that I go
Hate to leave her alone
I hope she is happy with him over me
It may sound cliché, but there might come a day
For now we both know this is not meant to be
Now we both know this is not meant to be

Undertow
04:00
|
|||
|
Tears like rain fall from our eyes
A fine campaign of long goodbyes
Just one kiss before I go
Once we part I’ll miss you so
At times it may seem strange
But don’t be afraid of change
Each new moment will come and go
Music playing in stereo
Don’t get caught in the undertow and wash away
As long as you know that
I’ll still be with you when I’m gone
And every time you hear this song
A sweet and simple melody
Please remember to think about me
At times you might feel lost
There were lines that we both crossed
But each new moment will come and go
Music playing in stereo
Don’t get caught in the undertow and wash away
Just remember to say
All the things we meant to say
And should have spoken before today
Words of sorrow, words of joy
Each new feeling we might employ
Don’t think this is the end
I will always be your friend
But each new moment will come and go
Music playing in stereo
Don’t get caught in the undertow and wash away
Please don’t wash away

Why Pretend
04:08
|

|
It's just not the same without your love
So what in the hell were you thinking of
You said I was wrong, that this wasn't my song
I was heads and you were tails
Flip the coin, but heads always prevails
So I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
I just wanna move on, go back to calling you my friend
After all the things that we have done and everywhere we've been
I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
Now it's written in black and white
A steadily worsening plight
You said it was me, but how can this be
I was in and you were out
Miles beyond any doubt
So I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
I just wanna move on, go back to calling you my friend
After all the things that we have done and everywhere we've been
I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
Whatever happened to responsibility
How did all the blame fall on me
And what about you, I thought that we had both out grew
This susceptibility
So I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
I just wanna move on, go back to calling you my friend
After all the things that we have done and everywhere we've been
I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend
After all the things that we have done and everywhere we've been
I can try to see both sides, but why should we pretend

Time For A Change
02:41
|

All this seems a little strange
But maybe I’m insane
There’s not much here for me to lose
But so much I could gain
And I think it’s time for a change
Yeah, I think it’s time for a change
I’ve been running circles
Now it’s time that I move straight ahead
Doesn’t always work I know
But I’ll have to sleep when I’m dead
And I think it’s time for a change
Yeah, I think it’s time for a change
For better or for worse
I know I’ve got my faults
Can’t keep doing the same old thing
And expecting new results
No, I think it’s time for a change
Yeah, I think it’s time for a change
I’ve stood in one place so long
Guess it’s time I get moving on
I keep writing the same old song
With the same old chords and rhymes
Now I think it’s time for a change
Yeah, I think it’s time for a change

Go It Alone
04:02

She just got home the lights are dim
She’ll pour herself a drink
Take a sip, begin to think
She sits alone with thoughts of him
They had tried his way
But now she’ll need to call and say
Chorus:
Where would I be without you
Out in the rain and drenched to the bone
It’s not that I’m starting to doubt you
But maybe it’s time that I go it alone
Silence breaks, the telephone rings
Lifts the receiver to his ear
What he’ll hear confirms his fear
She wants to try some other things
He’ll beg and plead for her to stay
But it’s too late, all that she’ll say is
Chorus
Less is more, ‘less more is less
It’s such a bore when you refuse to give your best
Take all you want, but not from me
I hope you’ll realize I’m not your enemy
And I can see
I know where I’d be without you
Out in the rain and drenched to the bone
It’s not that I’ve started to doubt you
But maybe it’s time that I go it alone

Call This Place Home
03:37
|
|||
|
Somewhere in the back of my memory
Covered in dust on a shelf
A place that I’ve been
Now I’m back here again
This time I’ve come by myself
Chorus
And I think I wanna call
I wanna call
I’m gonna call
This place my home
Yeah, I think I wanna call
I wanna call
I’m gonna call
This place my home
The years live and die, they are casualties
Victims of the time that’s gone by
But seedlings in spring
Grow into beautiful things
And now is the moment I’m in
Chorus
Just thought I’d call and see
Just when you might be free
I know we can find it
Will be so good to see you again
But if it don’t work out
Then I don’t have a doubt
I’ll see you the next time
Til then I’ll be fine on my own
Chorus

Raggedly
on display in the gallery
Now is not the time to fall
Just keep on standing tall
It’s a tried and true affair
Far away
Temporarily on display
Animal caged at the zoo
Attempting to break through
But caught in the cross hairs
Chorus
Now is not the time
Feeding fuel into the fire
Just standing in line
Singing to the choir
Ah Ah Ah
Memory
Can manifest what you want to see
Soon reality sets in
You’re back in your own skin
And up against the wall
Don’t hide away
It’s nothing but hearsay
Walls will crumble down
And falling to the ground
Don’t always feel so small
Chorus

Carry
03:57
|

|
Chorus:
Carry, oh won’t you carry
I can’t shake this weight off of me
I’ve dug in deep now and I feel buried
Won’t you take this weight off of me
Felt so young and alive
I was just twenty five
My path was laid out in front of me
But every time it’s the same
First the thunder then rain
Set afloat, all alone, lost out at sea
Chorus
Seems like so long ago
But then what do I really know?
If I opened my eyes then I’d see
All the things that I fear
Have become perfectly clear
And tomorrow’s as bright, bright as can be
Chorus
Along this road that we’re on
Things will pass, then they’re gone
But there’s still so much more out there to see
Though things are weighing me down
I am glad that I found
Someone like you who can take this weight off of me
Chorus
