Sometimes I think I’m thinking way too much
The life I crave it seems too far to touch
The days drift by I feel like I’m in a dream
Sinking deep, it’s getting hard to breathe
You know it’s too bad
You know it’s a shame
You know it’s no good
When things stay the same
It’s getting dark the walls are closing in
I guess they say it’s time to sink or swim
I’ll say once more take a look around
Keep it cool and move so you don’t drown
You know it’s too bad
You know it’s a shame
You know it’s no good
When things stay the same
When things stay the same
Life will pass you by
Don’t cry
When things stay the same
You know it hurts inside
Like you may die

Close My Eyes
03:19
|

You know it can’t be good all the time
I saw red put the blindfold on my eyes
If you’re gonna run you better make it far away
I’ll be waiting night and day
Wish I could say that I tried
Now it’s always raining outside
I’m putting broken pictures on the wall
And that’s all
I’ll close me eyes and wait for the summer light
I think this time’s gonna be alright
I’ll be waiting by that window
For you to hold me tight
Paper bag filled with glass
I’ll turn my head and I’ll walk back
Says the man that’s running out of time
What is my crime?
Sometimes I sleep and I can see
What this life what this life it could be
Whispers gone and fade into the night
That alright
I’ll close me eyes and wait for the summer light
I think this time’s gonna be alright
I’ll be waiting by that window
For you to hold me tight
I’ll close my eyes for tonight

Perfect Life
03:15
|

Johnny was a laborer who lived on Maple Street
Johnny had a shotgun beside his bed
He didn’t have a penchant for murder
He never wished nobody dead
Johnny never wondered about the perfect life
Johnny took the shotgun and closed the door
Get your affairs in order
There’s no reward
You’ll never find him there
Life can be so unfair
Johnny was a laborer who lived on Maple Street
Johnny had a shot gun beside his bed
And though he never meant to hurt her
He never wished nobody dead
He didn’t have penitent for murder
Never wished nobody dead

Every Time
03:51
|

Well every morning it’s so cold and lonesome
I check the time until the clock tells me to get on my feet
My thoughts are muffled I can barely hear them
I must be tired like the people walking down the street
But I know that things won’t get easier
That’s alright, Ill take my time this year
Its simple enough, the only thing I can do is try
And it’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
When it’s late at night I stay up thinking
Say you’re mine tonight so I can get a little bit of sleep
Often times it’s like my world is shrinking
I must be ignorant cause I don’t know what I’m meant to be
But I know that things won’t get easier
That’s alright, Ill take my time this year
Its simple enough, the only thing I can do is try
And it’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Well baby, every time I see your face it puts my in another state of mind
And maybe staying here is killing me I feel like I’m just wasting all my time
Every morning I feel so depleted
Is this the future that I’ve chosen while so young and naïve
Never wanted to be so defeated
Its time to move along and find something else to believe
And I know that things won’t get easier
That’s alright, I'll take my time this year
Its simple enough, the only thing I can do is try
And its alright
Its alright
Its alright

Treat Me Right
03:14
|
|||
It was a place I loved
And it was waiting there for me
Right out by the fence
And the big oak tree
Then people gathered round
They stomped their feet about
Theyre standing on my head
Until the bitter end
You know I’m under pressure and I hope you’re gonna treat me right

No Time to Waste
01:42

Hey man how’s it going? Was it a nice drive?
I’m so glad you got here
How nice of you to arrive
I’ll let you get acquainted and maybe get a drink
But don’t come empty handed
Because nothing here is free
All the bands are leaving early
They’ve got to get to bed on time
You’ll have to finish early
Maybe some people will arrive
I wouldn’t hold my breath though
You won’t have very long
The floor will remain empty
No one to dance along
It’s time to get equipment and load it on the stage
You’ll only have five minutes
Because we’re running oh so late
So get up there make me happy
Put a smile on your face
Dance and sing and entertain us
Remember there’s no time to waste
Remember there’s no time to waste

Move Yourself
03:10
|

Move yourself right on time
Move yourself make you feel so fine
The shows about to start
Better find your place in line
People on the street
Better make your way inside
Move yourself right on time
Move yourself make you feel so fine
Get up on your feet
Put your hands up in the air
Get into the beat
Shake it everywhere

Lead's Gonna Catch Ya
02:16
|
|||
The lead is gonna catch you
Sooner or later
You better watch the way you move
The times may be troubled
And your days are few
You still got time to change your tune
You won’t ask nobody for no point of view
You know you need somebody
Just to try to make it through
The lead is gonna catch you
Sooner or later
You better watch the way you move
Please tell me the reason
Why is it so?
You always run so fast
You never try to take it slow

Oh No
03:00
|

Sometimes I open up the window
Just because I gotta let some stress go
Oh no there’s no more time
No more time
Problems just keep on coming
They got me hiding and running
Oh no I’ll wait for a while
Start off early at the finish line
Lit cigarette and a bottle of wine
Aint no place, aint no time
If you’re gonna go there there’s nothing to find
It’s kind of funny when a question’s asked
Aint no answer and your times gone and passed
Give a little up and let it all come back
When you’re on defense when your under attack
Sometimes I open up the window
Just because I gotta let some stress go
Oh no there’s no more time
No more time
Problems just keep on coming
They got me hiding and running
Oh no I’ll wait for a while
There’s no more common places
No friends no familiar faces
Once you’re gone you’ve lost all traces
Got yourself in a bad situation

Don't Turn
01:54
|
|||
I said
Hey
Don't turn your back on me
It's not fair to do
at least I tried
You say
This is a mutiny
But I've been good to you
She rolled her eyes
Then she turned around
So I said
Change will come one day you'll see
Buried in loneliness
You'll run back
And when you turn to me
I'll say no way
No way
Hey
Don't make a fool of me
It's been done before
Can't take this back
Never turn to me again
I'll say no way
