Sad Songs 03:01
Colours seem darker than I remember them to be And words of verse cut more than they used to do And these sad songs bring only pain What was and what became of a sad song Do I carry on as though we never met at all Burn the photographs that hang and decorate the walls And these sad songs bring only pain What was and what became of a sad song All these things in rooms that clutter and surround They all remind me of a time when you were around And these sad songs, there is only pain What was and what became of a sad song

I know your mind - I know it wanders from time to time Just remember that I'm wandering by your side And though you cry each and every single night Just remember that my tears are on your side Still there's nothing I can do Nothing I can say But I will only hurt you more The longer that I stay But it will mend in time I know you're tired - I know you don't sleep through the night Just remember that I'm restless by your side And though you're lost and you feel like you could drown Just remember that I'm right here on the ground Still there's nothing I can do Nothing I can say But I will only hurt you more The longer that I stay But it will mend in time And though I say these words Don't know if I believe But it doesn't hurt But it doesn't hurt

Sunday afternoon and all is still and all is calm Except the pounding in my head of a drunken drummer that doesn't know the song Days of wine and roses gone but the memory remains the same I may not think as clearly now but it haunts me just the same So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait But I can't love you anymore I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried It's not like we never tried to mend what had been torn I wear my heart upon my sleeve; my jacket cruel, unkind, and worn Lookin' back it ain't the smartest thing but at the time it's hard to tell Like my reflection in the mirror - eyes closed heaven, open hell So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait But I can't love you anymore I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried If I tried would you take me back If I tried would you take me back Back to a time when I didn't have to try

Stuck in a rut Going nowhere fast Laying low while my life flashes past I think about it every minute of the day Don't know what lies ahead Don't know where I am I know I came from somewhere but I'll never understand I think about it every minute of the day And there were choices I probably should've made A little different but I was too afraid I think about it every minute of the day And there's no star in the sky for me I had you in my corner when I was on the ropes You threw in the towel when I would've choked I think about it every minute of the day No I ain't perfect Never claimed to be I pushed you away when you meant everything to me I think about it every minute of the day I threw a million quarters down that old wishing well We all got a story that we'd rather not tell I think about it every minute of the day And there's no star in the sky for me I keep searching but I cannot see

It's the nights when I get lonely When the lonesome turns to blue I never knew that such a sadness could turn a deeper shade of you I'm still looking for the answers at the bottom of a glass When I know full well I won't find it there when I'm too afraid to ask Now I'm living in a dream of yesterdays At a loss for words when there's so much I could say You know we've had our ups and down You know we've had our back and forths I tried to make amends but it breaks and it bends I guess I used a little too much force Now I'm picking up the pieces but they're scattered all around I tried to cry for help but I can't help myself I can't seem to make a sound Now I'm living in a dream of yesterdays At a loss for words when there's so much I could say

Better Place 03:51
Like riding 'round in a broken down limousine for two Someone's at the wheel I guess but I don't know if it's me or you If it's me or you, if it's me or you I know you've been thinking hard but it's still news to me I never saw it coming, babe, but I always tried to see To see it your way, to see it your way When I see your face Think to myself am I in a better place But I know it's not true There must've been a time or two when we didn't fuss or fight But I can't remember when - out of mind and out of sight Out of mind and out of sight 'cept when I see your face Think to myself am I in a better place But I know it's not true We gave it a go we gave it the ol' college try We're both getting older and I'm still asking why When I see your face Think to myself am I in a better place But I know it's not true

Somedays I'm a catch, others a release Sometimes I'm a war and others I'm peace But that don't help us now No that won't help us now Somedays I'm the light, others I'm the dark Sometimes I'm the rain and other times the spark But that don't help us now No that won't help us now There's a window and there's a door And one's left open a little more If you should lose your way Well I'd wish you'd stay At least until you find That little stitch in time that you've been waiting for Somedays I'm a gem, others I'm black coal Sometimes I lose my mind while others I'm in control But that don't help us now No that won't help us now Somedays I'm insane, others I make sense Sometimes I stand my ground and others I'm on the fence But that don't help us now No that won't help us now There's a window and there's a door And one's left open a little more If you should lose your way Well I'd wish you'd stay At least until you find That little stitch in time At least until you find what it is you can't define And if it ain't me, babe No, no, no, if it ain't me, babe I don't know what you're looking for, babe

Over My Head 03:20
Too scared to put the pen down to the paper Can't take it back when it's written in stone All's I've been thinkin' is, baby I love you Too soon to tell you but my cover's blown Gonna lay it all out, out on the line I've been in love but it's different this time Moving too fast or moving too slow I get the feeling that you'd rather not know that I'm Head over heels with a ten gallon hat Now tell me, babe, what do you think about that Gonna lay it all out, out on the line I've been in love but it's different this time I'm in over my head I'm in over my head and I wouldn't change a thing Now tell me, babe, what's on your mind Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine Just don't go runnin' with my heart in your hands Don't leave me hangin', I can be a better man Gonna lay it all out, out on the line I've been in love but it's different this time I'm in over my head I'm in over my head and I wouldn't change a thing

Go, grab your clothes, pack your suitcase and the radio We won't be here in the morning, we may not get fair warning Let's just hold each other tight tonight Somehow we balance on blade made of fire some might say We're just waiting for the smoke to clear before we go So let's just hold each other tight tonight And oh, we're just runnin' from the wind Afraid to turn around and start all over again Are we running out or are we running in or just starting to begin To erase the past that never seems to last Let's just hold each other tight tonight And I've been trying to tell you for so long I've been trying to help you even though you say you're so strong There's a feeling in my head - I think too much and I turn to lead But I wanna run with you and I think that you do too So Let's just hold each other tight tonight And oh, we're just runnin' from the wind Afraid to turn around and start all over again

Offa My Mind 03:05
I know we may not be meant to be together, baby But I can't get you offa my mind I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, ain't it time you settled down I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, ain't it time you settled down You've got your whole life waiting for you While mine's passing me by I know we may not be meant to be together, baby But I can't get you offa my mind I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, no one's getting any younger here I'm thinking hurry up, hurry up, no one's getting any younger here You've got your whole life waiting for you While mine's passing me by I know we may not be meant to be together, baby But I can't get you offa my mind
