Lyrics:
In a new town for the very first time
I never walked around this corner
Strangers passing by
Look into my eyes
They don’t know
Know that I’m starting
Oh that I’m starting
Oh that I’m starting over
Oh would you let me be
A little more like me
Took so long to see
What is good for me
In this new place I’m feeling alive
A little stronger and older
All my mistakes
I’ve left them behind in a place you won’t find them
Every sidewalk is a new step
Strangers passing by
Look into my eyes
They don’t know
Know that I’m starting
Oh that I’m starting
Oh that I’m starting over
Oh would you let me be
A little more like me
Took so long to see
What is good for me

LYRICS:
Right now
We’re slowly goin down
And it’s not like a secret
But you don’t wanna see it
Maybe there’s another version round the corner
Maybe we should hold on for a little longer
You’ll be lookin back
You’ll be lookin back on me
You’ll be lookin back
You’ll be lookin back fondly
I’m gonna look at you
Like we did in December
I’m gonna look at you
Like the way we remember
Above
Everything we’ve spoken of
Coming down in a drizzle
Hitting us like a chisel
Maybe it’s the kinda thing that makes us stronger
Maybe we should hold on for a little longer
You’ll be lookin back
You’ll be lookin back on me
You’ll be lookin back
You’ll be lookin back fondly
I’m gonna look at you
Like we did in December
I’m gonna look at you
Like the way we remember

Under The Stars
03:30

|
Oh, something is in the air tonight
As we sit and watch the cars go by
You tell me it was stupid when
The other kids made fun of another friend
We won’t be like that
We won’t be like that
On a roof in the night
Under the stars
Talking about the questions on our minds
Talking about our lives
How it gets hard
And how we’re always gonna try
You and I
We’re gonna do something good
Cuz this world is too crazy and I won’t let it take us
Oh, tell me what your mother said
Is she getting to your head again?
The struggle with our parents never ends
On a roof in the night
Under the stars
Talking about the questions on our minds
Talking about our lives
How it gets hard
And how we’re always gonna try
You and I
We’re gonna do something good
Cuz this world is too crazy and I won’t let it take us

Bandit

Lyrics:
Something hits me suddenly the windshield’s swept with rain upon the glass
State to state it’s you and me and all the little things we like to keep
Up ahead the sun is setting out of view
I know somewhere somebody’s waking up to something new
I feel like a bandit driving through the night
Driving through the night
Forget every place I’ve place I’ve been, there’s nothing like the way you hold my hand
In a bit let’s make a stop, I’m happy to explore this town with you
Up ahead the sun is setting out of view
I know somewhere somebody’s waking up to something new
I feel like a bandit driving through the night
Driving through the night (with you)
Oh I suddenly know
It wouldn’t be a crime if I told you
I feel like a bandit driving through the night
Driving through the night (with you)

Ride

Lyrics:
Seems I’m in no hurry yet
to get where I’m going
so I might as well enjoy this ride
A scene sandwiched in between
the same frames window
and that always looking over me sky
Even though you’ve been through hell
you can’t quite now you’v gotta go
pick yourself up and get a move on
Tell me what you’re waiting for
a day a week another year
another year another year gone
I’ve seen waste arise from haste
and I will not create that case
so I’m taking my time
Buildings and trees stationary
streamed along the way I’m going
rolling wheels radio on

Bonfire

Lyrics:
I’ve known for months just what I would wear
I stitched it all up and I added some flare
Well you’re lookin good in your make-up and hair
Yeah you’re lookin good with just enough scare
Meet me by the bonfire (Where the kids are swayin) x2
Meet me by the bonfire
The cold night air can’t get us there
I’m not so scared when I got you near
Hiding in hay and making you scream
Smiling with fangs and wearing some wings
What if we jumped off the wagon on three?
What if we stared at your face in the mirror?
Meet me by the bonfire (Where the kids are playin) x2
Meet me by the bonfire
The cold night air can’t get us there
I’m not so scared when I got you near

Together

Lyrics:
My love is cold now
Shadows of a life
Dripping from your eyes
Slowly you take mine...
You gotta get it together
So we can be together...
My love is faithless
Won't you change your ways
Cuz babe it's a cold truth
I'm going down with you
I'll never leave you
I'm going down with you

Lyrics:
Something in the way move
Has me going
I don't even know you
Outside
The party goes
From the front lawn
Into the road
Everyone's out here and we're conversating and
I've never felt such a feeling that I get with you
Right now if you'd ask me I'd give you everything and
Drop all my plans and go over the deep edge with you
Dancing
Like no-one's looking
'Till the party ends
Feels like I've always known you
Something
In the way you move
I can't take it back
Everything is new
Everyone's out here and we're conversating and
I've never felt such a feeling that I get with you
Right now if you'd ask me I'd give you everything and
Drop all my plans and go over the deep edge with you

Station
03:40
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Walkin outta the station feeling like a ghost
Late in the day
I left when it started to get to be a little too much
A little too much
Maybe if I learned how to laugh I’d do better
At getting things I don’t understand
Like why we put the poison and trash in this water
Why we try so hard to forget
One foot follows the other
like it knows where it’s been
I can’t wait to discover
all the places I’m looking into
Maybe if I learned how to scream I’d do better
At saying things the way that mean
Like why we’re dropping bombs and destroying each other
Acting like we wipe our hands clean
Looking for a courage that’s stupid in numbers
We do it just to feel alive
Give a man a suit and he’s still a big robber
We pay him more to nickel and dime
Walking up on a stranger and I give him a nod
Sometimes there can be danger
in the friendliest face we turn on
You could be a friend or a foe or a brother
I could say I don’t have the time
Maybe if I learned how to punch I’d do better
At staying up and staying alive
I wonder bout the drugs that we take
Bodies that are pumping with love
I wonder bout the paper we trade
Money that is stronger than blood

Good Side
02:33

|
Lyrics:
Every time I said I’d never do this again
I really meant it then
But every time these same old patterns took the win
and I got lost on my back
Look in your eyes
Apologize
I’m on a mission
I’m sorry it happened
The way that it happened
Every time I say I wanna turn this around
and make it better now
Never mean to bring us crashing back to the ground
and getting lost on the way
It happened twice
No it was a hundred times
Does it make a difference
I wanna stay on your good side
but I barely know mine
I’m on a mission
To get through this day
Everyday
...

Real Thing
03:02

Lyrics:
Four stars
I made a wish on four stars
On four nights, since we met
Monday through yesterday
And tonight I’ll tonight I’ll do it over again
And tomorrow I’ll be out there taking my chances
Oh
It’s barely been a week
But I’m so scared it’s just a dream
I can’t deny this way I’m feeling
So I’m wishing it’s the real thing
Don’t wake me up if it’s just a dream
If it’s just a dream I’d rather sleep
Four stars
I made a wish cuz
This can’t be real
You must be some kind of phantom
Of my imagination
Well tonight I’ll do it over again
And tomorrow I’ll be out there taking my chances
Oh
It’s just to good to be true
Can’t believe I finally found you
I hope we make it through
So I’m wishing for the real thing
Don’t wake me up if it’s just a dream
If it’s just a dream I’d rather sleep

Rocky
03:42

Lyrics:
I was driving on a cool day
When some guy raced by in the other lane
With his road rage, he had the angriest face
Funny thing, I was going 70 in a 60 mile zone
If that's slow for him, what kinda hurry was he in?
Started raining, just a drizzle, when I noticed
The gas was getting low
Found myself at exit sixty one
A little town Rocky
Oh Rocky
With one gas station
Where people still have patience
Rocky
You don't need a reservation
To have a laid back conversation
And take it slow
Took a brief rest
At a park bench
When a woman stopped to say hello
Found ourselves telling stories and jokes
Oh Rocky
With one gas station
Where people still have patience
Rocky
You don't need a reservation
To have a laid back conversation
And take it slow
Oh Rocky
It's sweet Oasis
Everybody's waving to say hello
Rocky
You don't have to worry
No one's in a hurry
You can take it slow
