Rockin' Steady
02:54
|
|||
I know we had a rocky start
But now we're rocking steady
You know I've gained a lot of heart
But my conscience is still heavy
I promise that I'll see this through
My love will never vary
And if you let me take your hand
You'll be the one I marry
We were too young in high school
or so they say
But little did they know
The wild child was me
I was messing around
Running all over town
Tripping over my own feet
But that's all over now
I'm back on level ground
Driving down a one-way street
I know we had a rocky start
But now we're rocking steady
You know I've gained a lot of heart
But my conscience is still heavy
I promise that I'll see this through
My love will never vary
And if you let me take your hand
You'll be the one I marry
Now I give you my promise
And a ring to keep
As a bit of insurance
That wasn't cheap
So you'll hear what I say
There'll be no rocky days
That'll pull ourselves apart
And I hope you believe
What I say I do mean
I've finally grown a heart
I know we had a rocky start
But now we're rocking steady
You know I've gained a lot of heart
But my conscience is still heavy
I promise that I'll see this through
My love will never vary
And if you let me take your hand
You'll be the one I marry

Stay with Me
03:34
|
|||
I should've told you that I love you
Everyday of the week
I should've told you that I need you
Every time we'd speak
I should've thrown my arms around you
When my knees were weak
But instead I let go of you
I'm a man pathetique
Let me know let me know
If there's something I can do
Let me know let me know
If there's somehow I can prove
'cause your love left a hole
When it got taken away
And your loss took its toll
Now I've nothing more to say
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
Always
I could've bought you all the brightest flowers
Everyday of the week
I could've listened in your darkest hours
Every time you'd speak
I could've saved our love from going sour
I could've kept it sweet
But instead I let go of you
I'm a man pathetique
Let me know let me know
If there's something I can do
Let me know let me know
If there's somehow I can prove
'cause your love left a hole
When it got taken away
And your loss took its toll
Now I've nothing more to say
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
Always
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
I'll change
Stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
Always
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
I'll change
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
Always
Won't you stay with me
Darling stay with me
Baby stay with me
I'll change

Cross My Mind
02:49
|
|||
Saw you on the web today
I think that it's funny I still know your name
After all these years
Endless tears
We used to spend our time at the dollar store
Buying all the miniature alcohol
Times have changed
Seems so strange
Now and then you cross my mind
I think about you all the time
Remember when we said hello
I tried to play it cool, tried to be mellow
I couldn't speak
My knees grew weak
Fortunate to call you mine
Fortunate that I became your valentine
Feelings changed
We became estranged
Now and then you cross my mind
I think about you all the time
Now and then you cross my mind
I think about you all the time
We settled down in a faraway town
Wasted our days and our hearts ran astray
Too late we found we were running aground
Left in a haze, we went our separate ways
Now and then you cross my mind
I think about you all the time
Now and then you cross my mind
I think about you all the time

Watch Out for Yourself
04:11
|
|||
Don't forget the ones below you
While you're aiming so high
Don't forget the words they told you
That have ended up wise
Have you lost your ability
To understand
Why do you harbor hostility
When you could offer your hand
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
Oh
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
My friend
All alone you claim you're happy
That you don't suffer fools
You fill yourself up with apathy
When you're making the rules
You've abandoned morality
And your fellow man
Don't neglect your capacity
To offer your hand
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
Oh
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
My friend
I've never known a self-made man
No matter what they said
Even with a solid plan
Everyone needs a friend
Obstacles you've overcome
Remind you where you're from
So remember what they'd done
To help your race be won
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
Oh
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
My friend
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
You better watch out for yourself
The end

Desk Job
03:32
|
|||
When I was a boy I thought I wanted to be
A fireman or pilot or to grace the movie screen
Everyday at school I sat and dreamed all day
The teacher told me that I'd throw my future away
So I focused on the pen and paper
And I wielded my inspiration
I completed all my math equations
And I studied through the night
Tried to make it right
I've got a desk job in my future
I never knew what I wanted to be
I've got a desk job in my future
I was training for it, can't you see?
From the early early morning to the final bell
You'd find me in the classroom learning how to spell
Every assignment that would come my way
I was driven for a sticker placed besides an A
With my 4.0 report card
And my extra curriculars
I sailed out to Harvard
And I studied through the night
Tried to make it right
I've got a desk job in my future
I always knew it subconsciously
I've got a desk job in my future
I've been training for it certainly
Lord, grant me a cubicle
And a boss who's unbearable
A water cooler to talk around
A paperweight to hold me down
A corded phone and some sticky notes
A coffee mug with a clever quote
Family photos in Kokomo
Photoshopped but no one knows
I should tell you Ivy League ain't got nothing on me
Communications major for my bachelor's degree
Running down a list of numbers paired with names
Hoping that I'll get a minute to explain
I've got a product for you
If you've got a lot to cut through
In seven easy payments
You could change your life
Buy a Ginsu knife
I've got a desk job in my future
I always knew what I wanted to be
I've got a desk job in my future
I was training for it, can't you see?
I've got a desk job in my future
Oh, the wonderous joy I'll bring
I've got a desk job in my future
I was born for telemarketing

Drinking Bird
03:00
|

Staring at a drinking bird
Wondering when he'll drink his last drop
Staring at a drinking bird
Hoping that he'll finally stop
A one task life
Plagued by a predetermined path
One more night
He'll stand frozen in the aftermath
Staring at a drinking bird
Struggling to break himself free
Staring at a drinking bird
Thinking he's a lot like you and me
A one track mind
Pontificating, never giving up
Are we blind
To the chance that we are not a runner up
All we need is a motive
All we need is a reason to believe
That there's more for you
That there's more for you and me
And this cause is not hopeless
I've a feeling we'll soon succeed
And make the world a family
For the sake of our sanity
Staring at a drinking bird
Waiting for his life to begin
Staring at a drinking bird
Sheltering his heart deep within
An open book
A predictable personality
Overlook
The division of the ideology

No Need to Be Afraid
05:29
|

There's no need to be afraid
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you
There's no need to be afraid
Why don't you let it go, let it go, let it go
You've got time to rectify
The sorry thoughts that eat your mind
Why not focus on the light?
Your blurry vision is a vice
Your hindsight walks on thawing ice
It's defective dynamite
There's no need to be afraid
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you
There's no need to be afraid
Why don't you let it go, let it go, let it go
I know your heart beats way too fast
Your nervous system will collapse
If you pursue this type of life
You've got a million paths you can take
No need to expose you to this quake
Time to overhaul your life
There's no need to be afraid
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you
Side effects of fear make your body ache
Why don't you let it go, let it go, let it go
There's no need to be afraid
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you
Side effects of fear make your body ache
Why don't you let it go, let it go, let it go
Life is a silly game
Life is a silly game
There's no need to be afraid
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you
There's no need to be afraid
It's time to let it go, let it go, let it go
