New York
I packed my bags and my keys
This time now, I’m moving to New York
On the streets and underground, dreams they dance and drive through our minds
If I could be a name built in lights or a song in your head
Join the crowd, start the race and see what it can be in New York
The Brooklyn Bridge, she speaks out loud
“Welcome home, how was your day?”
If you don’t make these dreams reality, no one else will
If I could be a name built in lights or a song in your head
Join the crowd, start the race and see what it can be in New York
7:30
It wasn’t over, at least that’s what they said that night
Then when you told her, you were the same and you took me for all I’m worth
It’s too late now its 7:30 again, it’s cold and I’m waiting to go back home
Take your life as I’m running down, all in all for what your worth
There’s too much now, I’m waiting for and as I go
I’m running around
To take your place as I know, just as I go
It’s to late any way just to go back home
I could’ve waited for all of the news we already knew
Then when you hated, she took all your money and ran to Mexico
It’s too late now its 7:30 again, it’s cold and I’m waiting to go back home
Take your life as I’m running down, all in all for what your worth
There’s too much now, I’m waiting for and as I go
I’m running around
To take your place as I know, as I go
It’s to late any way to go back home
Take Your Time
They get on the train, no time to say hello
This is New York time, north of the Nashville line I find, take your time
Because you’ve got to run without walking, laugh without crying
I know it’s been a while, take your time
There she goes, southern blood, New York blue jeans
There she knows, calling out to that Mississippi skyline, take your time
We get lost in work, so let the deadlines die
22 is 32 if you don’t look up and find, your kind, take your time
You’ve got to breathe before talking, stop before sleeping
I know it’s been a while, take your time
There she goes, southern blood, New York blue jeans
There she knows, calling out to that Mississippi skyline, take your time
You’ve got to dance without moving, kiss without thinking
I know it’s been a while, take your time
Friends
Take me on this ferris wheel that we call friends
Break me, from all of the fake exchanges here
I take the heat, sheets fun in the sun everything feels like its come undone
Have you heard the news
I take this beach, heat the sand in my toes my best friends calling up my girlfriend knows
Said, have you heard the news
It’s taking life again
They’ll be taking all of your friends
It’s taking life again
They’ll be changing all of your friends
It starts with one missed call singing on your phone
Then let me, check with the spouse and her parade
I take the heat, sheets fun in the sun everything feels like its come undone
Have you heard the news
I take this beach, heat the sand in my toes my best friends calling up my girlfriend knows
Said, have you heard the news
It’s taking life again
They’ll be taking all of your friends
It’s taking life again
They’ll be changing all of your friends
Safe
So he’s safe, at least you’ve got that down
Black eats the white, but he’s somewhere in between
You’re a long way from here, can’t you see in me
It’s a long way to fall down, to be safe, not free
I could not be waiting not this time
I’ve been silent for too long, he’s in love with her
Take a moment of your precious time, finally notice that he’s
safe not real...he’s just safe
Well he’s great, but there’s no passion there
You’re much crazier than, you get credit for
You’re a long way from here can’t you see in me
It’s a long way to fall down, to be safe, not free
I could not be waiting not this time
I’ve been silent for too long, he’s in love with her
Take a moment of your precious time, finally notice that he’s
safe not real...he’s just safe
If white picket fences, are what you need
If all your expenses, are what you need
He’s safe not real, he’s safe not real as he calls to you now, he’s safe not real...he’s just safe
Alright
I’ve been finding what I knew here
I’ve been finding it’s not right
We could wait until the morning light
We could take them on tonight
I’m alright, yeah
I’m alright, every time we do the things we should
I’m ok, yeah
I’m alright every time you crawl inside my blood
23 hours since you tasted all my veins at once
23 more to go
We could wait until the morning light
We could take them on tonight
I’m alright, yeah
I’m alright, every time we do the things we should
I’m ok, yeah
I’m alright every time you crawl inside my blood
Back To Us
I took your name off this ship, tucked it away, away for another day
Back to us, I couldn’t see for your smiles here
I drove for more than miles here, back to us
My arms they surround
No one hears a sound, I read through all your books
Yeah, why are we going away?
It’s 5AM again, still driving through, through all the lights we knew
Back to us, the candles and lights whispered to your face
Stay in this moment always, back to us
My arms they surround
No one hears a sound, I read through all your books
Yeah, why are we going away?
Katie come home, back to us
On Top Of The World
He takes pills tonight 5 at 3 and 2 at 10
Tries to calm his moving mind
Times gone by these changes
Way to Far on top of the world
Way to far on top of my world
Way to far and my heart it could be breaking more
When I look back now I see your face again
These plans make so much sense, if you could only see him
There’s no one to stop him now,
No sleep for weeks and breathing
Way to far on top of the world
Way to far on top of my world
Way to far and my heart it could be breaking more
When I look back now I see your face again
Can’t Imagine
Took you on a ride in a taxi cab in Manhattan, right down to Italy
It was just a 12 dollar journey across the Atlantic, your smile smelled so sweet
Then we heard from our friend, said how’s it going with Sara
She said he made me smile
I will take you there to places you can’t see
Haven’t thought that far, around the world with me
We’ll put up our sails
We’ll never look back to the places we’ve found
The places we came from
I wish you could see all the laughs and the smiles they’re waiting for us
You can’t even imagine
Then morning came and the doorman said who was with you
I said a friend for the night, or maybe who knows I’d like to change her
I thought I just might, then we heard from our friend he said “Was it good for you?”
she said “An amazing night, but I’ll have to go because he wants more then I have can’t leap there yet”
she said “Its all gone away.”
Sunday Morning
Take on these waters, it will be cold outside tonight
Then I break us in, it’s as if we’ve known for a year
Dream like you’ve never and I could take a wild ride in those eyes
Then the days blend to one, and we never felt so young
The clocks’ been stuck for days
Maybe we’ll wait until Sunday
We’ll wait until Sunday morning
Take on these waters or it will be cold outside tonight
Breathe like this forever and we will be warm tonight
When you wait until Sunday morning
Verse:
Well the Sun’s up and we’re not, we’re preoccupied with this
And I dance from your lips to your fingertips
The moon she calls out your name, slides a shadow across your face
As we push her away it’s just us here today
More Than You
Watch it as the days walk by, the pieces of this
I thought you went to D.C, and all was missing
I could take your life away said I don’t need you
Listen to your eyes
They follow through more than you
It’s taking me all that I had, all that had
Here we go again
You can’t see through the mirror
Here we go again
To run through all the red lights there’s no time as we go
Watch it now as the puzzle fell I couldn’t see,
Fell off the ride it was a shock to me
We could take this life away said we don’t need this
Listen to your eyes
They follow through more than you
It’s taking me all that I had, all that had
Starts Today
When I was young, what did I see
All these eyes staring at me then they trickled down to two
And those two took us for a ride, a great journey so I couldn’t hide
Then our flight, touched down on cue
It starts today no time for goodbyes
only these eyes
If it’s too much now we can take it slow
Baby steps now, I’ve been there I know
And there’s nothing I could do, nothing I could say
Every thing is right if we can make it till May
I’ve never seen the future like this before
When I’m with you it’s like an open door
To a sky that never ends
On the other side, I see a glowing face
Many trips around the world we chase
Then it comes back down to two
It starts today no time for goodbyes
only these eyes
If it’s too much now we can take it slow
Baby steps well I’ve been there I know
And there’s nothing I could do, nothing I could say
Every thing is right if we can make it till May
I could hold you and never look back
I’ve got all this time, I’m just running through windows
I can’t see what’s going through your place
Take me out of here,
Over the shoreline, get some sun upon my face
So many things I could sky away from here
So many things I take away my fears
So many things I’m just away from here
Say it again, by now
I find all this love swimming around me, take me over there so I can drown
I hear whispers on, over my shoulders do I turn around to look and gaze
There is concern, help it out here
Find some other chance in time
Now climb over away, out of the shadows
Don’t you know it now, its time to go
Well I run around in and out here stumble on the ground to my knees
Stare at all this world spinning in circles, don’t you know it now, its time to go
Now I walk onto, the street that calls my name so right
And take a few of these faces that I’ve seen
Or was it you, the street that plays games all day long, we don’t need nothing new cause I could stay here all my life
I could take a walk just to find out what you said, I could take your smile and cover it
All these things we love to say, but never say them anyway
I wish I could know everyone there was to know
I’d stop and say hello to every soul passing me by
We always think we have more time than is real, but it seems oh so short when your coming to the
As I playback now, the tape of the year
Its not where I thought we’d be, still not where I feared
There’s only 3 days, till the ball drops down, where’s the year
I’m still in this town
So many plans and faces to see, hurry now, there’s 3 days till next year
Remember that friend, that you meant to call
All of those things that you said, but never could do
I’m staring out the window, at this town I never set my foot here before
One eye shut the other open, never knowing what’s in store
Stars fall raining on this car, pull over its time to hit the bar, have a little sip to clear your mind
And it hurts me to look into the mirror, my how it all seems so much clearer
When you step out of your kind
And it hurts me, to sit upon this stool sipping down my fuel, as I reflect about my time here
Had I just drove on home, where would I be today
We say life is about choices, yet we still delay
Stop now its time to end this thrill, don’t you think you’ve had your fill for this life
I could fly so much higher all alone with you
Left foot right foot up on the floor think of all the crazy things to do
Sweat pours out now raining from your veins
The mouth it all stops at words but sounds they take the reigns
There’s so much more and you know I'm working hard here
The pillows dance and grab us in the moonlight
We cant do much better than last night
Where did we leave our lives
Hours pass turn into days where did all the sun go
Up and down all around so many things you never thought you'd know
We could take it slower why stop it all now
The look I get all the time its under your brow you know
One more day
Ill be done with this
So there’s no amiss
Disguised for this kiss
To me
One more night
I have to end this trip
No more attached at the hip
No more with this script to me
One more hello
Just to take some relax
Take this off our backs
Throw down these slacks
To me
One more time
To remove from this rhyme
Starting up this climb
Now its summertime
To me
One more day its all to be
No more bigotry
Only harmony to me
The doors swing open
Smell the taste so good
Forever more
Wake up tonight
Push the sheets aside
Can you live with yourself
You may find that in time its help yourself or else
Watch these days go by trip by trip its your next right or wrong
Left to right we slide in and out of touch
sorry to be a crutch
Decisions to be made, excuses to be bought
At least that’s what you thought
You’re locked out of the room
You need 5 min more what is she a whore
Stop go ahead and think sorry did I make you blink
Or were they closed the whole time
As I walked through your valleys now, I took some notes and wrote them down
There were faces and spaces that I couldn’t see, now I’m lost forever more
I could be your man don’t you see tonight
I could write 3 millions stories for us
Watch it with me our video as it plays
It’s in 3-D and it won’t end till we’re done
And there’s too much running around, there’s not one else that needs to be found
Taking it real slow, my only speed now, no matter what, you’re still my number 1
On this trip that spilled through the night, I knew then what I know now
There was gold and so many others there, it didn’t matter I’d made up my mind
Finding out, what I see, and what I couldn't
All these days, they run by, o so slowly, up inside your face
We used to laugh, we used to run, we used to sit
We used to watch, we used to go and we used to cry
I can't take your face no more
It's a chore inside my head
Why does it always feel like, I'm making my bed, with you
I could go, all night long, reciting these verses, and into the day
The car window rolls, down so slow, your hair is dancing up inside the wind
We used to laugh, we used to run, we used to sit
We used to watch, we used to go and we used to cry
Pick it up and take me through the maze tonight
Watch and listen closely I've got all the answers right
Pick it up how could you say you’re right again
Don’t bother with explaining its not worth the oxygen
Pick it up there's too much to be heard now
He said she said listen to me somehow
I don’t think you heard me mister
Your still not quite there yet to be with her, I want it my way
Pick it up with patience never had that before
Words they pass right through me like she walks out the door
Pick it up can’t take it your always right with me
Words they twist and turn me like bottles out to sea
Put on this belt, and buckle it up tight
Cross over now, in the silence of night
"I was just there eating dinner in the square,
the glass shattered like a man in despair"
There's too many people now
Turning to ashes on the ground
The Corner of Jerusalem
Well she cries no she cries… When you look into her eyes
Take a walk with the trigger in hand
Through this grave, or was it holy land
"Well mom I was just on the bus to school
a flash of the light and there were no rules"
Fire now, well the target's locked on
Nails sail high before the new dawn
"I was just there dancing in this club
How could I know it's the last night for love"
And when we walk hand in hand
Peace all around no one in command
And when we can talk to our neighbors again
Share some love now, no need to pretend
Well I see more than I like to see and I hear more than I like to hear
Just take me from these hands of angels to a place where I’m going to be free
I trust more than I like to trust, and I lie more than I like to life
Just tie my eyes inside out now, to a place where I’m going to be free
And if I am far, ill run to you
Across the desert and over the mountains too
When I reach water I’ll tip-toe across the waves
Into eternity as I dance and stumble in this gaze
Well I hate more than I like to hate and I love more than I like to love
Just shove me off this spiral staircase to a place where I'm going to be free
I please more than I like to please and I fake more than I like to fake
Just break me from the hands of angels to a place where I'm going to be free
