Don't Worry About It
02:53
|

Was the stage too high to climb?
Did all the bills go out on time?
Was the dream not deep enough?
You know you don’t sleep enough
So what you didn’t get there first
Still hung up on what they say
You should be thinking with your heart
But your big head’s in the way
Don’t worry about it so much
Don’t worry about it so much
All your life you’re in a hurry
Out of breath from all that worry
All it’s gonna do is burn a hole inside of you
You don’t have to beat yourself up
Trying to be somebody else
You’re good enough
Don’t worry about it so much
Was the joke above your head?
Are they still mad from what you said?
You’re so afraid they think the worst
You throw your meanest punch line first
Don’t worry about it so much
Don’t worry about it so much
All your life you end up sorry
Sick to death from all that worry
When all it’s gonna do is burn a hole inside of you
You don’t have to beat yourself up
Trying to please somebody else
You’re good enough
Baby you're good enough
Don't worry about it so much
Was the stage too high to climb?
Did all the bills go out on time?
Was the dream not deep enough?
You know you don’t sleep enough

Doormat
02:41
|

Everything I do in this place feels like a mistake
Maybe I should run away
Would you miss me if I did?
Would you miss me if I hid like a kid in a corner of your mind?
Everything I say rubs the wrong way
Maybe I should learn to talk like you
Would you kiss me if I did?
Would you love my mouth
If you heard your phrases coming through my lips?
Well I’m not doing it
I’m not going to talk like you
Your words aren’t few but they don’t mean a thing to me
And I’m not going to talk like them
Your friends
Since when did they know anything anyway?
Maybe I should try some reverse psychology and pack my bags
Would you fall in love again?
Would you want me back if
I said that I would rather just be friends?
Maybe you should start thinking about
All the things you’ll miss when I am gone
You can’t touch that far away
You won’t be gratified
When there’s no one to let you have your way
‘Cause I’m not doing it
I’m not going to be your mat
F that!
I’m not doing it
I’m not going to talk like you
Your words aren’t true so they don’t mean a thing to me
And I’m not going to talk like them
Your friends
Since when did they know anything anyway?
Hey!

Roses For No Reason
03:20
|
|||
My black and white
Don't make your shade of gray
Won't stop me painting either way everyday
And if it's all so simple
Tell me how’d it take three hours
To drive that truck three miles up the road?
Roses for no reason
Breakfast in the bed
Kisses in the kitchen
Staying home instead
Walking by the water
Talking that’ll last
Roses for no reason
Is that too much to ask?
That stranger in your eyes
Well he had too much to drink
It still compromises you
No matter what you think
Yeah I'm still in love
Where does that leave me?
Mean to you and screaming through the glass
Roses for no reason
Breakfast in the bed
Kisses in the kitchen
Staying home instead
Walking by the water
Talking that’ll last
Roses for no reason
Breakfast in the bed
Kisses in the kitchen
Staying home instead
Walking by the water
Talking that’ll last
Roses for no reason
Roses for no reason
I want roses for no reason
Not too much to ask
My black and white don’t make your shade of grey

Hating How You Love
03:56
|
|||
Make ‘em all feel like this is it
Wrapped around your finger
They think you’re never gonna quit
Give ‘em everything you’ve got until there’s nothing left
Learned it from your mama
Set a trap inside my chest
Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great?
Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting
For the promise of a future that I see is now fading
You’re on to something new and I can’t believe
(Someone else is having you and I can’t believe
I thought that it was true, now I can’t believe)
I’m hating how you love
Hating how you love
Said that you were my girl
Was it ever even true?
In trade for giving me a whirl
I laid it bare in front of you
Healed every scar I had
Fixed the damage that was done
Kicked me to the curb now
So I guess I’m not the one
Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great?
Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting
For the promise of a future that I see is now fading
You’re on to something new and I can’t believe
I'm hating how you love
Hating how you love
I’ll tell you one thing my dear
He better never come around here
Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great?
Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting
For the promise of a future that I see is now fading
You’re on to something new and I can’t believe
Someone else is having you and I can’t believe
I thought that it was true, now I can’t believe
I’m hating how you love
Hating how you love
Hating how you love

Shine A Little Light
04:17
|

Call me up and suddenly
You shine a little light on me
I’m silhouetted by the TV
Dark and black and white and starry
This memory seems to stick
Where’d you get the ‘bility
To open up and set me free?
I’m happily lost in tranquility
Dark and black and white and kissing
This memory dreams so thick
Shine a little light
Who gave you the power?
Who taught you the key
To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me?
Who gave you the power?
The crystalline ability
To call in my darker hours and shine a little
Shine a little light
Shine a little light on me
Call me up and suddenly
Your human electricity is totally encircling me
If I ever fear the missing
Your lips are who I’d call for
Shine a little light
Who gave you the power?
Who taught you the key
To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me?
Who gave you the power?
The crystalline ability
To call in my darker hours and shine a little
Shine a little light
Shine a little light on me
Watch my life sink into storms
I’m filling out these stupid forms
And told I have to fit the norm
It’s cold here love I need some warm
Who gave you the power?
Who taught you the key
To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me?
Who gave you the power?
The crystalline ability
To call in my darker hours and shine a little
Shine a little light
Shine a little light on me
Shine a little light
Shine a little light

All Along The Curve
03:49
|
|||
You don’t know how to talk
I don’t know how to sing
You don’t know what to give
I don’t know what to bring
You don’t like when it’s cold
I don’t like when it’s hot
You’re not sure what I am
I’m not sure what you’re not
We both know what we got
We both know what we got
So I’m gonna hang in there with you
You’re gonna hang in there with me
We’re gonna get to that place we’re going to
Man is it gonna be something to see
I’m gonna hang in there with you
You’re gonna hang in there with me
I don’t know how to read
You don’t know how to write
I don’t know when to lead
You don’t know when to fight
I don’t know where to head
You don’t know where to aim
I’m not sure why we left
You’re not sure why we came
I love you just the same
Yeah I love you just the same
So I’m gonna hang in there with you
You’re gonna hang in there with me
We’re gonna get to that place we’re going to
Man is it gonna be something to see
I’m gonna hang in there with you
You’re gonna hang in there with me
It’s all about what we’re working on
It’s all about what we’re working on
It’s all about what we’re working on
And the misty mountains watch and whisper

Archeology
04:37
|
|||
Chasing after sunsets
To feel something again
Naked in a rainstorm
Worthy of your skin
Souls split apart at birth
Opposites attract
Faith is a feeling love is a fact
And love won’t always be just archeology
There’s magic in that stone that holds the sword
Someday someone will see
Till then take it from me
Your love will always be its own reward
You thought that rock you found
Was a rare and precious jewel
You took it into town
They said you were a fool
Hands callous and raw
Digging on the next
All that you uncovered was a dirty worthless text
But love won’t always be just archeology
So much inside of you to be adored
Someday someone will see
Till then take it from me
Your love will always be its own reward
Ooh to be so trusting
What a beautiful thing
Don’t you give it away too quickly
Even if he resembles a king
‘Cause you’ll know in your bones
When it’s the one who’s worth the ring
And love won’t always be just archeology
There’s magic in that stone that holds the sword
Someday someone will see
Till then take it from me
Your love will always be its own reward
Chasing after sunsets
To feel something again
Naked in a rainstorm
Worthy of your skin

Faith
06:59
|
|||
Love can be had for a price it seems
If we let go of a couple of dreams
We are alone anyway
What’s the point of you and me?
I see it in your eyes
What I need to get me by
Every one of us is dry
And my faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
Don’t look so sad
This is only life
And she’s looking back at you
You were the queen in another time
What am I supposed to do?
I see it in your eyes
What I need to get me by
Every one of us is dry
And my faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
You used to say
What’s wrong with you?
And it’s showing in your face
Dark and the light are just dreams to me
And they’re filling up the space
I see it in your eyes
What I need to get me by
Every one of us is high
And my faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
Love can be had for a price it seems
If we let go of a couple of dreams
We are alone anyway
What’s the point of you and me?
I see it in your eyes
What I need to get me by
Every one of us is dry
And my faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
Faith has passed me by
