Lucy I know that I didnʼt tell you Where I was fallinʼ this time, gimme an inch and I might take the whole white road and Itʼs not gonna be cominʼ for a while.
Where all the roses open I can find my shadow, ah in burst the ponding creatures waiting in my head
Hey! My eyes are closinʼ, I canʼt hear the music so letʼs not make another mistake no broken whiskers, do you know what I mean? K-k-k-kitty kitty
Lucy I know that I didnʼt tell you where we were goin this time, I tell ya I donʼt know the names and I might know the numbers we might be goin for a ride
Lucy I know that I didnʼt mention if weʼd be cominʼ home alive, maybe I know when weʼll be reaching our final destination, but maybe thatʼs only a lie

True Identity (Karaoke)
03:49
|
|||
You might be thinkin' you know who I am
You might be thinkin' you got me pinned down this time,
but I am not so sure
You might be thinkin' you know my name
You might be thinkin' I got no hide-away this time,
I'm tellin' you to think again
How did I find myself so far away
take a look, take a picture,
are you sure you see the real me
Many names, many faces many games,
but only one true identity
turn away, leave the past behind
and some day, you may find your true identity
Maybe I was like you once
Maybe I could live in certainty inside,
a mind that's been made up
Maybe I can't give it up,
too late to turn and defy what is
inside I think we'd better look, again
How did I find myself so far away
take a look, take a picture,
are you sure you see the real me
Many names, many faces many games,
but only one true identity
turn away, leave the past behind
and some day, you may find your true identity
All the days I've spent inside
I'll find another way to hide
All these thoughts I can not escape in time
Only one way to break free
to accept the other me all our voices will arise, again
Many names, many faces many games,
but only one true identity
turn away, leave the past behind
and some day, you may find your true identity

Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
Tell you right or tell me wrong
Shiny diamonds in the mirror never gave me any answers so letʼs
Polish up our waste in song
see it sparkle in false brilliance dig a dollar from the earth and maybe youʼll
Stay with me oh
Stay with me oh
Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
Come on down and make your mark
standing up for something lesser couldnʼt mean less to the empty any
hope of getting started shaken
up by justice seekers who are pulling me apart oh wonʼt you
Stay with me oh
Stay with me oh
Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
Wasnʼt I the lonely one making phone calls in the bathroom yelling “how could you have gone” but someone else; Someone older Itʼs not right thinking that Iʼm fine alone ʻCause Iʼm
Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
Lonely, canʼt you see? Iʼm talkin Lonely, yeah thatʼs me.
I got One more dance but in Half an hour Iʼll be gone
I'll be gone gone gone

Star (Karaoke)

Whip, bang, theyʼre at it again another
head trip maniac cominʼ at me
but they donʼt see my friends cominʼ after them
it donʼt matter, why bother
lunch break doubled for a whirlwind fight I got
three words left for you, “Come at me”
You know iʼm an extraordinary
Ooh. I think Iʼm fallinʼ apart on the inside
Lovinʼ you without tellinʼ them
But I canʼt stop a bullet with my chest
But I canʼt shoot an ice beam with my eyes
But I can get from portland to the scene by flying
If Iʼm not too heavy, float away, you keep me steady
Be my anchor if youʼre ready, Iʻll be the man behind the mask
Iʼll be your star
I'll be your star
Secrets gettinʼ a hold on me gettinʼ a hold on me
makinʼ me out of my mind
aw I canʼt hide it
would they push me out the door
no I canʼt hide it. No no no no no I need your love, I need your love
But I canʼt stop a bullet with my chest
But I canʼt shoot an ice beam with my eyes
But I can get from portland to the scene by flying
If Iʼm not too heavy, float away, you keep me steady
Be my anchor if youʼre ready, Iʻll be the man behind the mask
Iʼll be your star
I'll be your star
Ooh I think Iʼm fallinʼ apart on the inside

Close the door, kiss your mom and youʼre driving away
hardly can see when your life fills the spaces
seeking a cause for delay
Take my hand and use it to
pull back the ache in your throat,
maybe I could have planned a bit better
maybe I could have planned at all.
So
Iʼm sorry I left you in Pennsylvania
It doesnʼt mean I can go on without you now
Iʼm sorry I left you in Pennsylvania
but it doesnʼt mean I...
It doesnʼt mean anything
Read the words, shake it off, from the heart and the mind
not quite alone with my phone in my hand,
but feeling your grasp would suffice
Still I sit there writing
seven years after the day that I
said that Iʼd never leave you
When I said that Iʼd never go. So.
Iʼm sorry I left you in Southern Australia
It doesnʼt mean I can go on without you now
Iʼm sorry I left you in Southern Australia
but it doesnʼt mean I...
It doesnʼt mean anything
If you felt that we had something special at all
thought we were moving towards some destination
building us up for the fall
it might be overstating to say that I wonʼt leave ya now,
honey I can just hear your heart breaking
but itʼs only a matter of time
before
Iʼll have to leave you in Arizona
and it doesnʼt mean I that I didnʼt
love you with all of my heart and Iʼm sorry
but I have to go now
and it doesnʼt mean I...
It doesnʼt mean anything

Drive (Karaoke)
04:30
|

Every time I start to fall
every time Iʼm at my worst
every time I feel it all come down around me
youʼre the one that I call first
Gimme a break and Iʼll be your angel
gimme a chance and Iʼll be the one that you are for me,
yes even now I wanna pay you back cause youʼre just that good
Give me your everything, and I will give you mine
never thought that Iʼd have anyone, like you in my life
if we stay in this together, I know weʼll be alright
take a breath and then we both,
weʼll dive
you hold me up when I canʼt stand
give me something I can feel and
judging by the way you keep me going when I stumble
you stitch me up so I can heal
Gimme a break and Iʼll be your angel
gimme a chance and Iʼll be the one that you are for me,
yes even now I wanna pay you back cause youʼre just that good
Give me your everything, and I will give you mine
never thought that Iʼd have anyone, like you in my life
if we stay in this together, I know weʼll be alright
take a breath and then we both,
weʼll dive
We all need somebody sometimes and I canʼt do it all by myself
I got people standing sidelines waiting for a hand from someone else
and oh, I canʼt hide this feelin in a card
or in a gold-leaf type- faced line about how I need you I gotta try
one time, gotta get up, I gotta get up now I gotta be loud and shout it, oh!
Give me your everything, and I will give you mine
never thought that Iʼd have anyone, like you in my life
if we stay in this together, I know weʼll be alright
take a breath and then we both,
take a breath and then we both,
take a breath and then we both,
weʼll dive

Here I stand without an answer
reaching out to feel your hand
and I try to find the courage that can
keep me hanginʼ on
you help me be a better me
So many left without a goodbye
a thousand miles in between
I could not have made the change without your
push in the right direction
lift me up help me escape
All the years of hell that seem to
fall right by the wayside
All the times Iʼve needed someone
to believe in me
To think about the odds that youʼd be
sharing in this love
I hope you hang around awhile
Here you stand with your defenses
build them up and build them strong
Itʼs alright to let them soften as
I hold you close at night
no need to hide a thing from me
All the years of hell that seem to
fall right by the wayside
All the times Iʼve needed someone
to believe in me
To think about the odds that youʼd be
sharing in this love
I hope you hang around awhile
Hang around so you can see me take my second chances
hang around so you can help me wish on one more star
hang around so we can take this
love and make it shine
I hope youʼll hang around a while

Magic (Karaoke)
04:36
|

What changed today? Iʼm feeling nothing
I drag my body from place to place
and maybe itʼs the way you used to
lay out on the grass under the moon
or how the colored lights would
catch your freckled face, oh
Where has my magic gone? Is it some better place?
They tell me this, I look away and wish that youʼd come back again
Where has my magic gone? I know youʼre there to stay
I had to let you go but too soon, too soon
More than a decade since I came upon you
sitting quiet out form the rest
and maybe itʼs the way you looked at
me with those brown eyes that could melt my heart
who knew how much love
a benjamin could buy but oh
Where has my magic gone? Is it some better place?
They tell me this, I look away and wish that youʼd come back again
Where has my magic gone? I know youʼre there to stay
I had to let you go but too soon, too soon
Iʼm sorry I just need a moment
you never left my side, weʼd carry on
Youʼll stay with me, moving forward
in my heart you are forever home
Where has my magic gone? Is it some better place?
They tell me this, I look away and wish that youʼd come back again
Where has my magic gone? I know youʼre there to stay
I had to let you go but too soon, too soon

Everything I've said up to this point you can ignore.
Everything I've done you can forget.
I just realized that I'm talking to an idiot
yeah my quota has been filled, okay, I'm set
Put yourself where I am
take a peak inside
I don't do things just to mess with you,
you aren't even on my radar and hey
I'm not inconsiderate, believe me, yeah,
I care I just.. I... hey can.. slow down
would you let me get a word in, oh
Why you gotta be like that?
I try to do what you want me to
but, it never seems quite enough, oh
Why you gotta be like that,
and think I might not be like that too
Spending every hour I can stand to sit alone
spending every ounce of patience on,
the kind of stuff a kindergarten teacher would roll her eyes at
how about you take a look at what I actually said
Put yourself where I am
do you have a clue?
what a wasted piece of energy it would be to deal with you
but let me type up my rebuttal
see if I can help you out I just...
ugh Here ya go, here's something else to "subtweet", oh
Why you gotta be like that?
I try to do what you want me to
but, it never seems quite enough, oh
Why you gotta be like that,
and think I might not be like that too
Got no money, wrong kind of fame
I've been runnin' up my credit card tryinna cut off some of this pain
oh

When I Die (Karaoke)
03:11
|
|||
For when I die and when Iʼm ashes
and no more songs I can repeat
whoeverʼs singinʼ at my funeral
had better learn to move their feet
Cuz when I die right around 40
and when my fuze has reached its end
you best believe weʼll all be drinkinʼ
naw donʼt ask why but maybe “when”
Some people croak it and then
everyone chokes on bitter tears
oh lord whyʼd he have to go?
But when I stroll I think weʼll
all prolly know that I was
due any time I mean you canʼt
live that hard for long
so when I die, and when Iʼm buried
come watch me sink into the ground
forget the dirt, just drain a bottle
and if they ask, just say Iʼve drowned
For when I die and when itʼs over
and all my friends are left behind
I wouldnʼt doubt that theyʼll be jealous
theyʼll have to do more work than I
Some people croak it and then
everyone chokes on bitter tears
oh lord whyʼd he have to go?
But when I stroll I think weʼll
all prolly know that I was
due any time I mean you canʼt
live that hard for long
So when I die and when Iʼm sober
thereʼll be more stories left to write
take up my pen, and get to scriblinʼ
puncture your silence kill your fright
For when I die
For when I die
For when I die
For when I die
Iʼm only goinʼ over Jordan
Iʼm only goin over home

Be it near or be it farther every
beat was gettinʼ stronger without you
Be a loser or a cheat commemorate the flaws
repeat them at your peril
And ooh it hurts too long mmmmmm
and ooh the earth may never notice and why should she
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
open water dusk to dawn
if it kills us, then so be it
I wonʼt be hanginʼ on, and I
can always say I tried
Be you daughters be you sons weʼll give you
all of what we are for good or worse
be it godly referendum or a
weakly uttered whisper we will
pick up our pieces we will finish what we can
And ooh it hurts too long and
ooh the earth may never notice and why should she
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
open water dusk to dawn
if it kills us, then so be it
I wonʼt be hanginʼ on, and I
can always say I tried
Tell the angels mind their business
they arenʼt reaping what Iʼve sewn
beat me down destroy my army
break me up then make me whole
Does it hurt you, like it hurts me?
Does it hurt you? mmmm

Turning a corner on my short commute
face north to west in the friendly pursuit of the
welcome relief of oneʼs work being done
I find myself driving into the sun
Reaching above for a square on a hinge
swinging it down try to block the orange ball of
sweaty wet light in my eyes it will run
as I find myself driving into the sun
Well alright,
it has to get better at least I can squint as I tumble along
I will not be deterred no weʼve only begun
as I find myself driving into the sun
Sinking too quickly it ducks down below
I lift in my seat urging my neck to grow while
between mirror and pleather my vision near none
is the light green or red, all I see is the sun
Well alright,
it has to get better at least I can squint as I tumble along
I will not be deterred no weʼve only begun
as I find myself driving into the sun
Shimmering pieces of reflective glass
fall from the mirror of the truck I canʼt pass
in our haste to advance and our will turning numb
we trample ourselves raging against the sun
Well alright,
it has to get better at least I can squint as I tumble along
I will not be deterred no weʼve only begun
as I find myself driving into the sun
Well alright,
it has to get better at least I can squint as I tumble along
I will not be deterred no weʼve only begun
as I find myself driving into the sun
