Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Should never have let it go to my head
Now I'm layin' low until the blue lights dim
Hanging out with ghosts in my bed
Where do I go sir? Last night I was so sure
I've had about all I can take
This ain't a joke sir, I just couldn't coax her
to get the fuck out of this place
So fly if you want
I don't try, cuz ya know
You're putting Bars all over my heart
Sly if ya think ya don't lie, cuz ya know
You put Bars on my heart,
Bars on my heart
Fight until I'm bloody
Run until I'm muddy
The only things I know how to do
Cut until it hurts the worst Can't hurt me if I hurt you first
I wouldn't be shit without you
So fly if you want
I don't try, cuz ya know
You're putting Bars all over my heart
Sly if ya think ya don't lie, cuz ya know
You put Bars on my heart,
Bars on my heart
So fly if you want
I don't try, cuz ya know
You're putting Bars all over my heart
Sly if ya think ya don't lie, cuz ya know
You put Bars on my heart,
Bars on my heart

Heaven knows
It's just the way it goes
Baby where I'm from if it rains it snows
When you're out there chasing something
Running down your dreams and you've come so close
You gotta stand up tall
When you feel this small
Take it off the chin and baby don't you fall
Your hard work will prevail
Just get out and give em hell,
and take it all
I will Carry You
When things are getting rough
I will make sure that I've got you and I'm giving you enough
When the whole world feels so small
and you're caught up in it all
I'll Carry You
Yesterday, seems far away
It's always gonna feel that fucking way
Don't worry about your past
Or you ain't gonna last
Another day.
I will Carry You
When things are getting rough
I will make sure that I've got you and I'm giving you enough
When the whole world feels so small
and you're caught up in it all
I'll Carry You
Take me home
Or let me go
Circumstances say our chances are getting low.
I will Carry You
When things are getting rough
I will make sure that I've got you and I'm giving you enough
When the whole world feels so small
and you're caught up in it all
I'll Carry You

Morning fog on the glowing horizon so tantalizing
Got your hands in mine, little candlelight surprise and the heat is rising high now.
Phone numbers on the bathroom stall…
Cold comfort in the bedroom hall, make ya shiverrrrr…
Make you quiver to see what I’ll deliver.
I can see it burning in your eyes
The kind of fire that you cant disguise, where the heat burns through,
The beat grabs you and my feet rush to…(to make you all mine)
Sweat dripping from small of your back
Head spinning like a vinyl track, make ya shiverrrrr…
Make you quiver to see what I’ll deliver. (and I’ll deliver…)
Let me paint you a picture.
(one with all the stars and the cars in it…)
I can make you a winner…drive me wild
Out of all the things I know that I can prove,
I wanna see what you can do,
I wanna love the way you do.
Mesmerized by the look in your eyes, girl you hypnotize me.
You got your plans in mind but ya can’t decide if I, will be the man that your heart desires so..
You keep putting me on and keep pretending its wrong but my heart can’t live without you,
(get lost in song as the heart beats on)
Just like I do!
Let me paint you a picture.
(one with all the stars and the cars in it…)
I can make you a winner…drive me wild
Out of all the things I know that I can prove,
I wanna see what you can do,
I wanna love the way you do.

If the stars don't all align
When I cross that Georgia line
I'll take all I can find
Don't ya know.
Give me back my point of view
I haven't seen you in a week or two
If it all just came unglued
I know you'd be fine.
This is why I never call you on the telephone
This is why I don't feel bad when you're all alone
This is why I never run, when you always insist to hide.
This is how I got in trouble in the first place
This is now and I'm prepared for the worst days
This is why I don't allow someone else to decide
So if you want me, don't call me
I'm on the road
If you need me, don't call me
We're on our own
If the starts don't all align for you
Then the sun will someday shine for you
This is all I know
We're Two Rivers running wild
It's all a big mystery
Who we are and who we're gonna be
It finally dawned on me
to let it go

It was a late night and I woke in the morning with a little bit of buzz in my head
I had to hold tight cuz she came with no warning, but a whole lot of fire instead
I had a 30 second limit
My heart wasn't in it
However you want to spin it
Make it rain
You see that whiskey on the shelf
It ain't gonna drink itself
And tonight I won't be feeling any pain
Feeling no pain
You know I did it all for you baby
This you must have to know
I think its time that I did it ion my own
I may live a little harder
Never raised a glass to something bad
I laugh with the sinners their the only friends I've had
When I came to: your hands on my shoulders, you were looking me right dead in my face
It was just as I dreamed, where nothings as it seems your shit was all over the place
Ya well I dont even know
If I'm gonna go
Take any one you know
Pick 'em eenie miney mo
Here's a quarter for your bro
A 20 for your bro
You cant get past if your taking it fast, your only gonna last if your taking it slow.
You know I did it all for you baby
This you must have to know
I think its time that I did it ion my own
I may live a little harder
Never raised a glass to something bad
I laugh with the sinners their the only friends I've had

Friends

You said you've been on the block before
Well I've been around it twice, or more
It doesn't make a difference through whose eyes we see
The answers lie in the cool calm breeze
Whistling through the shady trees
There's nothing like keeping steady company
You were far too little for another man
You're far too much for me
The empty opera for my symphony
I held you close
Then I let you down
Pulled you in tight again
Running around not knowing where I fit in
Friends 'til the end.
Now I've broken down a lot of doors
Traveled the world I took it by the horns
In some shape or form you were always by my side
Many good times have passed us by
Many we stare straight in the eye
Sharing a laugh when there's no good reason to cry.
You were far too little for another man
You're far too much for me
The empty opera for my symphony
I held you close
Then I let you down
Pulled you in tight again
Running around not knowing where I fit in
Friends 'til the end
You were far too little for another man
You're far too much for me
The empty opera for my symphony
I held you close
Then I let you down
Pulled you in tight again
Running around not knowing where I fit in
Friends 'til the end
Friends 'til the end
Friends 'til the end
Friends 'til the end

Nobody Cares

When you get yourself ahead in life and....(Nobody Cares)
When you're thinking that you have the right but...
When you are the change you wish to see and...
Its like damn, Nobody Cares
When I was just a little lad
I never knew the good from bad
I acted like I was a tad, better than the rest
The people that I hung around
And me we had our ups and downs
Let alone we weren't profound
Life is just a test, ain't it?
When you get yourself ahead in life and....(Nobody Cares)
When you're thinking that you have the right but...
When you are the change you wish to see and...
Its like damn, Nobody Cares
Now where do we go from here
Haven't seen a person in a God damned year
It's insane to complain
When we get a little rain
But we can't be living our lives in fear
Break it down
When you get yourself ahead in life and....(Nobody Cares)
When you're thinking that you have the right but...
When you are the change you wish to see and...
Its like damn, Nobody Cares
When you get yourself ahead in life and....(Nobody Cares)
When you're thinking that you have the right but...
When you are the change you wish to see and...
Its like damn, Nobody Cares

Travelling on my road
Life wasn't always gold
The climb to the top can be long
The fall to the grounds always short...yeah
When time's just moving too slow
Heaven's no place to want to go
Systematic control
Your not alone, we all wrote this song
Awhile ago
It's not your first damn time man it ain't your last
Feels like your spinning your God damned tires on broken glass
Our windows will close up quick if we don't act fast
Who Are We to complain about the past?
Thinking about all I know
Trying to forget all that I wrote
While keeping it fresh in my mind
Without forfeiting all that's behind me...uh huh.
When time's just moving too slow
Heaven's no place to want to go
Systematic control
Your not alone, we all wrote this song
Awhile ago
It's not your first damn time man it ain't your last
Feels like your spinning your God damned tires on broken glass
Our windows will close up quick if we don't act fast
Who Are We to complain about the past?
It's not your first damn time man it ain't your last
Feels like your spinning your God damned tires on broken glass
Our windows will close up quick if we don't act fast
Who Are We to complain
You're never the type to complain
Who Are We to complain?
