2008

[Verse 1]
Always take it slow, I'm just a little too bold
I'm growing older than my age
I can't believe, I can't believe that
You've been on my mind
Oh, call it like you see it, I'm a little too early
Let it be, I'm just a puddle of mud
Staining everything I see
That walks all over me

[Chorus]
I give it up
You're just a bottle of Coke
I'm just a little too broke to believe it
Count me in
I'm just the grayest drown
And you're the talk of the town, can you believe it?

[Verse 2]
Wise men say I'm foolish, I just give 'em all a grin
The wise are prudent, never walking on a limb
I live on stars that burn so bright they close their eyes
Typically I'm weak when I'm a little bit nervous
Oh, you think I'm such a competent fool
I'm telling everyone I know I'm strolling streets

[Chorus]
I give it up
You're just a bottle of Coke
I'm just a little too broke to believe it
Count me in
I'm just the grayest drown
And you're the talk of the town, can you believe it?

[Bridge]
I just keep on hoping you think
What you think when you thought
That I was gold, and I'm not
But I give you what I got
I'm just a little bit old
When I need to be young
I'm just a little bit young
When I need to be

[Chorus]
I give it up
You're just a bottle of Coke
I'm just a little too broke to believe it
Count me in
I'm just the grayest drown
And you're the talk of the town, can you believe...

I give it up
You're just a bottle of Coke
I'm just a little too broke to believe it
Count me in
I'm just the grayest drown
And you're the talk of the town, can you believe it?

[Outro]
I just keep on hoping you think
What you think when you thought
That I was gold, and I'm not
But I give you what I got
I'm just a little bit old
When I need to be young
I'm just a little bit young
When I need to be...

I just keep on hoping you think
What you think when you thought
That I was gold, and I'm not
But I give you what I got
I'm just a little bit old
When I need to be young
I'm just a little bit young...

[Verse 1]
My calloused hands
My crippled wings
My calloused hands, my crippled wings, they bring you in

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, whoa
Your crowded hair falls down a narrow hallway

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Verse 2]
Your scribbled masterpiece
And written poetry

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, whoa
A sky of hands that rains down heavy on us

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Bridge]
Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along the flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
I'm begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down

Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along the flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
I'm begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down
[Outro]
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky

2008

It's a, a strange thing
Just a miracle dream
To be at peace with a fling
What if I'm more than crushes?
And moved past more than just lust
To feel it deep inside
Crying out to my trust
It's indescribably pushin' it
My mind is uncertainty
Beside I want a love that's all certain
Beyond a doubt I want to shout it out
I will shout it out to the world
To find a woman with certainty
Being my whole life earnin'
But, my baby, what's burnin'?
Discernin' it comes from the heart
That the mind of the eyes
A dark curtain containin'
Capable collisions of hearts

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

When I first met you, (ooh)
I was so short of breath
I stared like a child who (ooh)
Who was faking as deaf
You smiled and I laughed (ooh)
And you asked me some questions
But baby, all I kept thinkin'
Was taking first kissin' lessons (first kissin' lessons)
Blessings seem to be pourin' (ah)
From right at the start
You searched deep down inside and know to follow your heart (ah)
I followed this path (ah)
It's leading to you
I've arrived at the 'X', baby, tell me what to do (tell me what to do)

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

What does it mean to be a perfect match? (ooh)
I love, I love to be so far from perfect
What does it mean to be a perfect catch? (ooh)
I love, I love, I love to love you lady; never, ever leave me
Believe me (ooh)
I can see we'll be the small seed that grows into the stars
(Ooh) It's a capable collision of hearts, yeah

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

2008

Close my eyes so tight I might not realize you're gone
I tell a million stories like I'm old and she's young
It's cold out here and I, I don't mind
I feel the heat creeping up my spine
But it's alright
It's alright

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

February seems to be the worst of all my friends
She brings in all the darkness when the year, it just begins
But oh it seems so cold at the strangest of times
Loneliness, it seems to be the worst of all her crimes
And I'm alright
It's alright

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

Don't you let me go
I'm only lost
I will let you know
What's going on
You're the reason why I sing this song
O-o-o-oh!

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

2008

Broken homes, fighting brothers
Drugs sold upon the streets
Terrorism and alcoholism
These selfish motives guide the world
Weeping mothers, who-o-o-a, crying fathers
What has this world come to?

They are so broken but, oh, we hear them singing, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Can you believe it, it's what we're seeing?
It's just a dream, dream, can you believe-lieve it?
They are so broken but, oh, we hear them singing, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Can you believe it, it's what we're seeing
It's just a dream, dream, can you believe-lieve it?

Let me be your brother, you can be my sister
We're singing to the people
Let's live until we die

Grew up for business
I'll do whatever it takes
Don't work a day unless you're paid
One-night stands and broken hearts
We forgot how to love
I'll shoot 'em up and take 'em down
Oh, don't bleed on my ground

They are so broken but, oh, we hear them singing, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Can you believe it, it's what we're seeing?
It's just a dream, dream, can you believe-lieve it?
They are so broken but, oh, we hear them singing, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Can you believe it, it's what we're seeing
It's just a dream, dream, can you believe-lieve it?

Let me be your brother, you can be my sister
Singing to the people
Let's live until we die
Let me be your brother, you can be my sister
Singing to the people
Let's live until we die
