Joyride
Go on and show me the meaning of the world
we keep
Sing it to just like a symphony
I wanna hear it that way
Trouble come, trouble go sunshowers fall
down on me
A perfect day it won't have to be
it’s just the way that it goes
I suppose
We could lay here all night
Lament a life with no God loving face on our side
Instead of making up
For lost time
Life, taking me on a joy, joy, joyride
Life’s, been taking me on a joy, joy, joyride
Step in line with a starlit sky hanging
down on me
Sometimes scared that I am incomplete
But I’m still glad that I came
Just the same
We could lay here all night
Lament a life with no God loving face on our side
Instead of making up
For lost time
Life, taking me on a joy, joy, joyride
Life’s, been taking me on a joy, joy, joyride
Life, taking me on a joy, joy, joyride
Life’s, been taking me on a joy, joy, joyride

Cliché
Hello Goodbye , I don’t need a reason
Figure me out when pigs learn to fly
Sitting around as another season passes by
So right here I wait
For tomorrow to become yesterday and wash it all away
And if what you is ain’t what you
are
Every word is sure to leave a scar
When you wake up close but no cigar
It’s familiar as an old cliche, as an old cliche
The velvet guy was just an illusion
To wear me down while standing in line
If that’s a laugh, I sure could have used one
All this time
So right here I wait
For tomorrow to become yesterday and wash it all away
And if what you is ain’t what you
are
Every word is sure to leave a scar
When you wake up close but no cigar
It’s familiar as an old cliche, as an old cliché
Lookin' for my everafter
Hope that it will come together
And if what you is ain’t what you
are
Every word is sure to leave a scar
When you wake up close but no cigar
It’s familiar as an old cliche, as an old cliche

Girl
Keeps On
It isn’t over yet or haven’t
you heard
The perfect end that I should have the last word
I’m always trying to keep a face that’s brave
Right before the moment that I first begin to cave
Mind over matter would do
If I could just forget that I might be the one to lose
Only so far that I can go
Only one life here I should know
The girl just keeps on singing
So I take what I’ve been given now
You look at me and think that I’m
not afraid
You feel so certain I can carry the weight
I wish I was I wish I might be the one
To stand alone, complete unknown, stare into the sun
Mind over matter, so true
Unless you can’t forget that you might be the one
to lose
Only so far that I can go
Only one life here I should know
The girl just keeps on singing
So I take what I’ve been given now
The girl keeps on, the girl keeps on
The girl keeps on, the girl keeps on
The world keeps on, the world keeps on

Nothing
Like You
I smell you a mile away
Guys like you tear down LA
never meaning what they say
Thought that we might coexist
instead I’m getting the big kiss
off , you are filled with cowardice
You can never ever look at me straight
Well it’s okay, cause you were never that great
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
There is nothing like you
Oldest trick now in the book
Can’t believe the chance I took
Hoping for some greater good
You can never ever look at me straight
Well it’s okay, cause you were never that great
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
There is nothing like you
What I wanted, going up in smoke
What I wanted, thought you might be be more than my favorite
joke
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
Nothing like you to mess up a good day
There is nothing like you

Symptom
of My Time
I’m just a symptom of my time
Just a victim of my mind
Turning deaf and dumb and blind, cause I need to
I’m inescapably obsessed, with the thoughts I have
repressed
Want to lay it all to rest, wanna come to
I, I still think that love can save me
I, wonder where it has been lately
So I walk on by
Letting go the fear
and the day it comes
and the sky is clear
So I walk on by
and I’m right on line
I have got to be more than a symptom of my time
I read another magazine, see the star I’ve
never been
Life is nowhere in between all these pages
I buy a promise in a jar, try and cover up my scars
Make my way into these wide open spaces
I, I still think that love can save me
I, wonder where it has been lately
So I walk on by
Letting go the fear
and the day it comes
and the sky is clear
So I walk on by
and I’m right on line
I have got to be more than a symptom of my time

Hold
Me High
Mother may I take one step forward I want
to fly
Somehow get past all the things that I feel I have lost
inside
Promise by springtime I’ll be able to rise above
Maybe til then I can just pretend I don’t notice too
much
I don’t wanna be here alone
Harbor these thoughts on my own
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to know there’s a way
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to feel what it takes
Send me on my way
Riding on wings, can you still see the stars
in my eyes?
I’ve gotten colder, the worlds feeling older
Don’t let me hide
Serenade me even though I won’t see you in my life
A heart full of holes is the very last thing that you gave
to me
I don’t wanna be here alone
Harbor these thoughts on my own
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to know there’s a way
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to feel what it takes
Send me on my way
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to know there’s a way
So lead me on, hold me high
I need to feel what it takes
Send me on my way

Drive
Sun comes up, good enough to be the start
of something
Was a time, think that I might have missed the day for nothing
What would it take to make the great escape
My beat up dirty car, ready to go far
Got to be somewhere, better than nowhere
Wish away these might have beens
All go by, let it ride, let it count for
something
All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All I wanted will be mine
Be it rain or be it shine
I won't stop until I find it
Out there somewhere, Drive
Drink it down, all the sounds rushing outside
my window
Far and wide, sometimes I watch the passengers roll on
Swing from a star no matter where you are
Got to catch up sooner or later
Got to be somewhere, better than nowhere
Wish away these might have beens
All go by, let it ride, let it count for
something
All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All I wanted, All I wanted, All I wanted
I can find
All I wanted will be mine
Be it rain or be it shine
I won't stop until I find it
Out there somewhere, Drive

Everything
Under the Sun
All of you has got me, is this desire?
And I can barely breathe from secrets that you hide
Go on and shake me to the core
I have been there and back before
So little left in me that might go under
I’ve never been so sure, without you, I’d be
more
I have got something left to find
Everything under the sun will seem
More than forgiving, like a better cause for living
Everything under the sun will be
Mine for the making, know that I will never break so
Take up your love, take up your
Take up your love, take up your love from me
Only you can lift me, up without a sound
Only you can leave me with no way out
Just like a feather to the ground, I have been slow to figure
out
Somedays it feels like I may not recover
You watch me wearing thin, but no one’s gone where
I have been
I have got something left to find
Everything under the sun will seem
More than forgiving, like a better cause for living
Everything under the sun will be
Mine for the making, know that I will never break so
Take up your love, take up your
Take up your love, take up your love from me

Right
On Time
Oh yeah, it’s me
I guess I always thought you’d know
This face, my mistake, just like I suppose
I wanted more than anything to
leave you with my take on this but
I don’t wanna beg, I don’t wanna
break
just so you might hear my side
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Forget this last goodbye
There was never enough, there is only what
was
So let’s lay it to bed, hurry before I get
so deep in, I can’t let go
I know this end is right on time
Somehow, you get, dear departed off so
easy
While I am left reeling to myself, who needs this?
Nothing now could save our day
There are no more hopes to raise
I don’t wanna beg, I don’t wanna
break
just so you might hear my side
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Forget this last goodbye
There was never enough, there is only what
was
So let’s lay it to bed, hurry before I get
so deep in, I can’t let go
I know this end is right on time

World
Away
Wise would I be to resign, I never was the
simple kind
Sure, I had some hope to raise
Sad now to think of those days
Tell me just what becomes
of this house when I’m the only one here
Nothing at all where I thought it would
be
There’s no smile in this place, there’s no place
left for me
I watch as it all keeps on falling away
Everything that once was me
Is a world away, I’m a world away
Had a penny watched it drown, made a wish
I never found
Never wanted just to fade
Tragic it’s worked out that way
I’ve lost my place in the sun
Feels as if I am the only one here
Nothing at all where I thought it would
be
There’s no smile in this place, there’s no place
left for me
I watch as it all keeps on falling away
Everything that once was me
Is a world away, all a world away [ top ]
