ON MY OWN You say I’m unbreakable | And that you can treat me like I am unstoppable | I feel no pain. | You do the unthinkable | It amazes me when you become unpredictable | When you’re talking towards me. | You tell all your friends that you're reaching the end | And there’s nothing you can say to me | I’ll figure it out… I’ll figure it out… | On my own, I’ll fake it through the night | On my own, I think I’ll be alright | There’s so much more to show you | But nothing left to say | I’ll just be on my way | Changes in attitude | You’ve already proved that you would rather have solitude | Keeping distance from me | Right now I’m not in the mood | I’ve seen this place before and it’s a bad neighborhood | That’s why I moved out. | You like to pretend that you’re reaching the end | And there’s nothing you want to say to me | I’ll figure it out… I’ll figure it out…. | (Chorus) | It’s over… It’s through | You never took the time to see me from inside | And know what’s really there… | (Chorus)

COLLIDE Today felt like Sunday, I had nothing to do|Instead it was Monday, I’m here thinking of you | I don’t need a job, I don’t need to sleep| I’d be happy with nowhere to go, and you, were stuck here with me…|I think that we should collide… Collide…|No don’t ask me why, just say you’ll try… I think that we should collide.|You walked through the front door, I felt the world shake|This is so picture perfect yeah, I could be your escape…|(Chorus)|I hope for the best, expecting the worst|I wish I could say I saw you first|You’ve already left me… You’ve already left me… Wanting more!|(Chorus)


YOU MKAE IT BETTER I took the pill, I drank the water | I chased it down, made me feel better | I wish I had, more time to tell you | Instead I’m sitting here, curing all the hell you|Put me through… Put me through… | I finally realized why I, Spent my time with you. | You make it better You make it better to be alone | You make together seem like some place I just don’t want to go. | Two years have passed, and you’re still crying | I wish I knew, why you keep trying | To break me down… To break me down… | I finally realized why I, Needed you around! | (Chorus) | I want to thank you for Giving peace of mind | I know that talking to you Would not erase the lines | That you’ve drawn, that you’ve drawn It’s time to grow up. | (Chorus) x2

EVERYTHING You’re having a bad day And I’d hate to think that I was to blame | But I get the notion I can’t help you From feeling this way. | No, I never meant to hurt you I’d just be digging my own grave | I never knew that someone could walk into my life and take away the rain. | You’re everything that I want in a woman | You’re everything that I need right now | You’re everything that I want in a woman | And you ended up with me somehow. | You know its been a long time since I found the answers | To questions that sang into my mind Every time I was down, and trust me that’s a lot of time. | Oh but there you were Like a scene taken straight out of a movie | I stood motionless as I stared across the room But it didn’t take much for you to..move me. | (Chorus) | Just when I thought that the world needed a new rain king | You came and told me things that I never heard before | I’d like to think I became a better man | I’ll do everything I can, to keep you satisfied… | (Chorus)


COME BACK DOWN This can’t be easy But I’ve never been in your shoes before | Just try to stay busy Maybe a future will knock on your door. | On and on, on and on, you sing your song… | On and on, on and on, you sing your song… It goes… | La di da, La di da, La di da di | I can hear it in your voice You should come back, just come back… down. | You must be crazy If you think that I can relate to something like this | My memory’s hazy I can’t remember a smile on your face. | On and on, on and on, you sing your song… | On and on, on and on, you sing your song… It goes… | (Chorus) | On and on, you sing your song… Everything is wrong | When I hear you sing your song… | (Chorus)

COULD'VE TOLD YOU THAT I could've told you that | I could’ve told you anything you wanted me to say | But maybe I’m just too shy anyway | To say the things that make you want to stay | I guess I let a good thing pass me by | Sometimes we don’t say what we mean to say | And then it blows up in your face just like a bomb | I thought I knew you well | enough to cast a spell | Right in your direction | (Chorus) | I need you (That’s what I should’ve said) | I need you (That’s what I should’ve said) | I want you (That’s what I should’ve said) | I want you (That’s what I should’ve said) | I’m sorry (That’s what I should’ve said) | I’m sorry (That’s what I should’ve said) | I’d die for you (That’s what I should’ve said) | I’d die… for… you | (Chorus) | Sometimes we don’t say what we mean to say | And then it blows up in your face just like a bomb.


GIRL WHO SAVED THE WORLD I wish that I could save this girl But she’s too distracted by the world | She thinks with the snap of her fingers she could make everything ok | And everytime she leaves, I should’ve done something to make her stay. | This is not the way to change the world No No No! | This is not the way to keep a girl from leaving | But she’s leaving, to go and save the world. | I can’t change your point of view You’re gonna do what you wanna do | But maybe for a minute you will open up your eyes and see the light of day | Sit back, relax, and listen to everything I’ve got to say. | (Chorus) | I tried to stop her without good reason My selfishness won’t win this time | A hard rain’s falling, flash floods crawling There’s no escaping | She can’t even save herself. | (Chorus)

REMINDS ME Sixteen hours on a road to nowhere | Think I should turn around and head towards somewhere | To the places we have never been. | I’ve counted forty two planes that have crossed the sky | And everyone reminds me of you and I | And how our love could soar through the atmosphere. | Everything reminds me of her Everything reminds me of her | I can escape, the look on her face when I left home. | Hotel room with a broken mirror | Turn the lights off make me think much clearer | Of destinations that may lie ahead. | A right turn would take to north of nowhere | A left would put me back to somewhere | To the place that we have never been. | (CHORUS) | It’s strange how a little bit of love could get me so tied up | It’s strange how a little bit of love could get me so dried up | Every time I think of you I feel like I should turn around | Every time I think of you, | You put me back on common ground______


STUPID LOVE I feel like I’m going down | Caught in the undertow | Fighting gravity, but it’s. | Pulling me baby, it’s pulling me baby more everyday | It’s pulling me baby, I can’t get away. | I’m your stupid love I’m your stupid love | I’m your stupid love Please don’t let me go. | None have a look like yours The kind that can hypnotize | This ghost keeps haunting me | When I see him in the mirror, we look the same | He only buys you roses to ease all the pain. | (Chorus) | This is not, how love’s, supposed to be But I put all the blame on me. | (Chorus)

IF I LIED When you’re in love, you think you’ve, got something good | And you could never play the fool | That was not the case, I swear, I tried to be strong But I broke all the rules. | Rules of love, rules of life, Rules we follow just to survive… | It’s a pleasure to know you But I did not deserve you | Every night I try to fall asleep I think of promises I couldn’t keep | The questions arise, Would you have stayed if I lied. | There’s no turning back, you have made it too clear | I crumbled and I cheated. | Cheated on love, cheated on life, Cheated on reasons I used to survive… | (Chorus) | I wish you’d forgive me and forget the pain I brought you | It’s not fair, I do care | I would not have done this if things were not like this | I’m sorry, but please forgive me… Forgive me….!!! | (Chorus)


TOMORROW CAN WAIT If this was our last night on earth Would you celebrate with me my girl | We could say whatever’s on our minds Before we say goodnight. | I know things aren’t what they used to be | Let’s just raise a glass to you and me | The sky is crying out the end is near But let’s hold back the tears. | Tomorrow can wait, for us, to say goodbye | It’s never too late to turn back time (turn back time) | Forget about the rain, It’ll wash away the flies | Tomorrow’s the day we say goodbye. | (CHORUS) | Goodnight, my love, goodnight…

MEET ME IN THE LOBBY Meet me in the lobby, we could have some coffee, and talk about the end of the world | I’ve got many questions, I heard you’ve got the answers | Predictions that speak louder than words | Will you look into your crystal ball | And tell me what you see | I just want to know what my life looks like | Is it beautiful, will it be beautiful | Will I move to the country, have a lot of money, and live to see all people get along | It’s not that I am worried, scared or in a hurry | Honestly there’s a chance you could be wrong | CHORUS | today I heard pictures calling out my name with memories | They don’t want me to change | Can you meet me in the lobby | CHORUS


OUTTA MY HEAD Big love and there’s not enough room | I feel like I’ve fallen for you | Train wreck happens every time | I can’t even enjoy the ride/ And I know I’ve gotta get away | Even though I want to stay | Please don’t make me want you | Tell myself that it’s ok | It’s hard to keep a good thing going these days | Now it’s your fault, you’ve got me going insane? You run through my soul like pouring rain | And I know I’ve gotta get away | Even though I want to stay | Oh you made me want you | Now I can’t get you outta my head | I can’t get you outta my head | You’re in my car, you’re on the stage, you’re lying in my bed | Now I can’t get you outta me head | No I won’t let you in | I’ll just forget you | CHORUS

IF I LIED When you’re in love/ You think you’ve got something good/ And you could never play the fool/ That was not the case/ I swear I tried to be strong/ But I broke all the rules/ Rules of love, rules of life, rules we follow just to survive/ It’s a pleasure to know you/ But I did not deserve you/ Ever night I try to fall asleep/ I think of promises I couldn’t keep/ The questions arise/ Would you have stayed if I lied/ There’s no turning back/ You have made it too clear/ I crumbled and I cheated/ Cheated on love, cheated on life, cheated on reasons I used to survive/ CHORUS/ I wish you’d forgive me and forget the pain I brought you/ It’s not fair, I do care/ I would not have done this if things were not like this/ I’m sorry, but please forgive me/ Forgive me/ CHORUS


CLOSE YOUR EYES Have you ever wondered what It would be like if we could see through each other’s dreams/ It’s a fantasy that we all keep/ I think you know what I mean/ And I try to get deep inside/ And I breathe so hard I can’t sleep/ When you close your eyes/ What do you see/ Do you dream of me/ Because I dream of you. When you close your eyes/ What do you feel/ Is everything real/ I just want to know what’s behind your eyes/ As I lie awake my eyes fixed on you/ The stars so bright they light up the room/ I’ll paint your mind with pictures of me/ As you fall asleep I am all that you’ll see/ CHORUS/ Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we could see through each other’s dreams

SUGAR COATED LOVE SONG Last night I saw a vision of you walking away/ I swear I heard the echoes of things I wish you wouldn’t say/ Now you’re far out of reach and there’s no way of bringing you back to me/ Here’s your sugar coated love song/ Sponsored by the man you threw away/ Here’s your sugar coated letter/ I thought that it would sound much sweeter this way/ Why can’t you read between the lines/ For a minute I picture a girl/ The most beautiful thing in the world/ But wait a minute, I’m looking through/ I see what you are hiding beneath those eyes of blue/ You’re far out of reach and there’s no way of bringing you back to me/ CHORUS/ Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you/ But whatch’ya gonna say when I’m too far away and there’s no one you can turn too/ Last night I saw a vision of you walking away/ I’m sorry for the good times and how they all just fade away/ CHORUS


OCTOBER SKY She will go home with you but she’ll sleep on the couch/ She’s a little bit of everything I dream about/ Leaves a note by the phone as she sneaks away/ Says call if you want/ If you don’t it’s ok/ She’s perfect, she’s perfect/ She’s my October sky/ She’s full of color and I don’t know why/ She’s my purple rain/ She always wears a smile and she never complains/ October sky/ She recites all the lines to Caddyshack/ And goes to extremes just to make you laugh/ Prefers VH1 over MTV/ And can talk all night about photography/ CHORUS/ She’s my Joshua Tree/ If she’s good enough for you/ Then she’s better off with me/ October Sky/ Snapshot of a beautiful day/ Halloween’s just two weeks away/ I never thought someone could make me say these words/ But I think I’d marry her/ CHORUS/ She’s my Magic Mystery Tour/ She’ll take what you can give/ Never wanting more

COME MY WAY It’s on the way down/ It’s on the way down/ I know we aren’t the hurting kind/ Don’t turn away look around/ Don’t turn away look around/ We’re running out of time/ We are free, don’t keep your troubles inside/ Just come my way/ I’ll make you feel alive/ I want to walk together/ In any kind of weather/ Rain or shine/ Relax your mind/ CHORUS/ I may not be the best you’ve ever seen/ But I assure you that love can cure you now/ CHORUS


NO NAME #7 There’s something wrong in the air today/ you did not have to go/ But you made it that way/ Everybody cares but no one understands/ You use the pain to wash your hands of this life/ It’s a lie when the phone rings/ But it becomes the truth/ When the radio brings news of a tragic goodbye/ Oh how I wonder why/ Now everything is wrong is the air today/ I hope you’re happy/ Because they’ll all know you in years to come/ Was it what you wanted/ Was it what you needed/ Well I hope that you’re happy/ CHORUS/ There’s something wrong in the air today/ You did not have to go/ But you made it that way \

BEAUTY QUEEN Sunday night among a crowd/ We drank until they kicked us out/ I’m glad we made it home all right/ You’re looking pretty tired from the bags under your eyes/ They say you didn’t get much sleep last night/ You never called/ Do I dare to ask why/ Should I disappear/ Put it all aside/ You’re letting me go/ And I already know/ Let’s skip that part for now/ Tonight let’s just be together/ Tonight I wont think about tomorrow/ I know you’ll be gone and your life will go on/ Tonight/ Add another beauty queen to a list of one night shattered dreams/ I’ll pencil you in for now/ There’s a chance you’re not the same/ Then I’d erase your name/ In the meantime that won’t get me down/ I try to forget that you’re just like me/ You could slip away so easily/ CHORUS/ No need for solution/ Lets save the confusion/ it’s all in the game we play/ I look in the mirror/ Your face getting clearer/ Well this could never be/ We’re the same in so many ways/ CHORUS


GOODBYE It’s not that you’re good/ it’s not that you’re bad/ It’ not that you’re wrong with the timing you had/ It’s not that we’re forced to follow one path/ Today might be great/ It might hold us back/ Now my mind’s made up/ And the clocks won’t stop/ Ticking inside of my head/ I’ve made up my mind/ I’ve decided to say/ Goodbye/ We can do anything/ And forget what they say/ There’s still time to change/ And there’s still time to runaway/ CHORUS

WHAT’S IT MATTER I don’t understand this/ you’re making this hopeless/ But what’s it matter/ All you want is a photo to spark young girls’ mojo/ But what’s it matter/ Are you popular fashion/ We don’t care about passion/ But what’s it matter/ This is for you/ This is for you/ I know that silver’s not as good as gold/ I give you my heart and soul/ My hair’s not indie rock star/ My looks aren’t Tean Beat pop star/ But what’s it matter/ My word’s aren’t controversial/ My sound’s not car commercial/ But what’s it matter/ CHORUS/ It’s all can give/ It’s all that I know/ The lights go down let’s start the show/ It’s just you and me and this melody/ Let’s just sing/ CHORUS


SOMETHING SO STRANGE There’s got to be a better way to make it through the day/ without my head spinning round and round/ I don’t like to pick and choose/ but I also hate to lose/ and now I’m backed in a corner/ I was searching for a different you and I found a different me/ I’ve blown off some glances and skipped out on dances/ cause I was too naïve to see/ until Something so strange walked into my life/ I can’t escape it or it cuts like a knife/ Something so cruel (strange) jumped in my car/ Took over the wheel and it drove me too far/ There’s got to be a better time to sit back and rewind/ my mind’s made a list of pros and cons/ With standards set so high/ Higher than the sky/ It’s no wonder that I’m still alone/ You’re an average girl in a perfect world/ Now I realize that’s all right with me/ Because we’re all silent heroes looking for someone to save/ But there’s no one left so we help ourselves get through another day.

IT’S ABOUT TIME Can’t walk alone so follow/ Rest until tomorrow/ Light is dim gonna let it shine shine/ Put two minds togethe/r Hand in hand is better/ This addiction’s got me higher than high/ Everything changes you got to keep up the pace/ Turn the pages and soon you’ll find yourself in a better place/ It’s about time that you fall in love again/ Don’t waste your time this loneliness must end/ It’s about time that you fall in love again/ Make up your mind throw away the might have been/ To fade away is anger/ To bring it back is stronger/ Realize it won’t get in the way/ But out there someone’s waiting/ Just look around look around look around.

WHEN IT’S OVER A photograph on the wall/ better take it down it’s gonna fall/ There’s a storm on the way/ the blue sky it turns to gray/ And I call out your name/ Don’t have to run/ the windows are closed/ The evening sun/ disappears/ When it’s over/ I’ll be waiting right here for you/ When it’s over/ the fear will runaway/ I dream about this moment with you/ I’ve had my eye on the world/ God knows what I’d use it for/ Save a week and give you a year/ It’s the kind of thing that keeps us here/ And you call out my name/ The time has come/ the doors are closed/ The evening sun/ disappears/ If I had just one wish/ I’d trade the world for just one kiss/ The storm has passed but here comes another/ I hope it all just fades away.

FIRST MISTAKE Stop what you’re doing/ you know that it’s not right/ You come here to argue/ I don’t want to fight/ Two nights of laughter two nights of fun/ Now you take it too far you tell me I’m the one/ I said you couldn’t have my number/ but you found it any way/ Saying hi was my first mistake/ and now I took all that I can take/ Look at what you made me do/ Don’t you know when you cross the line/ it’s not the place and it’s not the time/ Saying hi was my first mistake/ I don’t want an answe/r leave it as it is/ Can’t you accept that/ you will not be missed/ If you were put on trial/ you could plea insane/ I should have saw it coming/ before I got your name/ I said you said you couldn’t have my number/ but you found it anyway/ You call and hang up when I’m not home/ Now I wish you’d go away.


KILLING ME It took a while to see you smile/ I knew that I could make you laugh/ Another day just fades away/ I think I’m walking in your trap/ I know that this is gonna seem unfair to you/ But take a minute just to think this through/ Before you walk out that door/ Before you cry and scream and yell some more/ I knew I should have shut my mouth/ The only thing I’ve figured out is this is killing me/ When I met you I had no clue/ that I could never play your game/ Now here we are I’ll park the car/ The rain beats hard on the window pane/ I’ve been holding this inside of me because I was too afraid to make you see/ What I’m about to say may blow your mind/ and you’re probably going to hate me ‘till the end of time.

MYSTERIOUS Stepping over every single crack on the ground/ It’s like you’re walking on glass/ You surprise her excited to see her face/ Cold shoulder greets you as you pass/ It happens way to fast/ just when you thought you could smile/ You ask yourself over and over and over/ She’s mysterious/ She can make you believe that you’re the only one in her eyes/ She’s mysterious/ Turn your back and she’ll let down her disguise/ You’re afraid she might not want you anymore/ and you may be right/ You’ve been known to over react with times like this once or twice/ Relax/ take a deep breath/ it’s not the end of the world/ She’ll find you/ if she wants you/ You’re not the one with control/ She thanks you for everything/ maybe it’s her way of saying goodbye/ You tell her she’s beautiful/ meaning you could stay for a while.


BEGINNING OF THE END I believe that the sun will shine on us one day/ and I believe that the fork in the road will point one way/ Take my advice but don’t take it too hard/ Take my life but return it when you’re finished/ This is the beginning of the end/ You better pack your bags my friend/ This is the beginning of the end/ You better pack your bags my friend/ He’s over there and he look as though he’s gonna break/ He can’t control it/ He’s had all that he can take/ He can run/ but he can’t run too far/ They’re close behind and they won’t let him leave the city/ The light goes down on everybody/ It’s time to runaway/ Tell everybody/ Tell everyone/ You cause your own confusion/ Now the end has just begun/. He can run Runaway.

YOU HAD TO CRY I am the sun/ I rise every morning shine my light on everyone/ I am the moon/ I awake every night and protect you in your room/ But you’re too dark to see/ You close your eyes and you think of me/ I’m always there/ even if you can’t see me anywhere/ You had to cry/ and make me wish that I was by your side/ You had to speak/ and whisper all of the things that you couldn’t say to me/ You don’t hear a sound/ Your knees begin to buckle as you fall onto the ground/ Too afraid to move/ Thinking maybe that the silence will free the voice you had to lose/ You’re back up on your feet/ You close your eyes and reach for me/ I’m always there/ even if you can’t feel me anywhere/ Your love was a drug/ and I became so damn addicted/ Now I’ve left you behind/ and I’m sorry./ You cry out to me/ It’s just a dream/ Hoping I’ll be there to say I’m sorry.


BECAUSE OF YOU Telling stories to an old friend of mine/ Sittin’ back just killing time/ He keeps on saying that his girl loves him True/ But I know she’s not as cool as you/ You make me want to go and do those sweet things/ I feel so good when I see you smile/ I’d go out of my way to please you/ Give me just a little while/ I know everything you want/ I love everything you say/ I’ve got everything you need/ You wonder why I feel this way/ It’s because of you/ Stuck in traffic here on 285/ I think much clearer when I’m out for a drive/ Looking back to all the things you said/ before I left you lying in your bed.

SEEMS LIKE NOTHING Blue is the sky/ and green is the color of her eyes/ Red is the blood that runs through me/ Like a heart that’s been broken for the first time/ Like a night staying home drinking cheap wine/ Those times that we would rather forget/ It’s the warmth on my face from the sunshine/ It’s waiting my turn in a long line/ I guess I’ve learned to take what I get/ But those times with you make me realize/ there’s something so good in my life/ You make all of those things that ruin my day/ Seem like nothing/ Black is your stare/ and brown is the color of your hair/ White is a star that shines for m/e Like a morning waking up with a headache/ because the night before was a mistake/ Those times that we would rather forget/ It’s the cold on my face from a snowflake/ It’s spending lots of money that I don’t make/ I guess I’ve learned to take what I get.


TIRED Nothing left to say/ No more games to play/ Falling fast/ wasting away/ Falling fast/ into another day/ Too much on the mind/ Not enough time/ To fit it in/ spend another dime/ I’ve given in/ there’s not enough time/ We all have bills to pay/ but I’m so tired/ We all have things to say/ but I’m too tired/ I’m alive/ I’m so alive/ No more tears to cry/ Whisper in my ear your biggest lie.


CLOSE YOUR EYES (LIVE) Have you ever wondered what it’d be like/ if we could see through each other’s dreams/ It’s a fantasy that we all keep/ I think you know what I mean/ I try/ to get deep inside/ and I breath/ so hard I can’t sleep/ Have you lied so much you felt really bad/ Do you wish that you could have those lies back/ Sometimes I think you’re laughing at me/ I think you know what I mean/ I try/ to get deep inside/ and I breath/ so hard I can’t sleep/ When you close your eyes/ what do you see/ Do you dream of me/ because I dream of you/ When you close your eyes/ what do you feel/ Is everything real/ I just want to know/ what’s behind your eyes/ As I lie awake my eyes fixed on you/ The stars so bright they light up the room/ I’ll paint your mind with pictures of me/ When you fall asleep I’m all that you’ll see/ Have you ever wondered what it’d be like/ if we could see through each other’s dreams.
