I've been running like I've got some place to be But I can't find my destination I've been scared like the devil was chasing me Don't think he pays me no attention I've been thinking like I'll figure it all out soon I can't find the answers to match my questions I've been wondering is this what everybody's doing Strangers at a ten year reunion Put yourself in a place you shouldn't be And you'll find yourself running like I found me Then you take a breath and you dust yourself off And you turn around and walk to the same old spot and say... Hey you have you seen me lately I've been walking like I fell down from the moon I can't find the answers to match my questions I've been wondering is this what everybody's doing Are we all pilots turned pedestrian Put yourself in a place you shouldn't be And you'll find yourself running like I found me Then you take a breath and you dust yourself off And you turn around and walk to the same old spot Then you come to your senses and you're running again And you find yourself lonely and you can't find a friend Then you take a breath and you dust yourself off And you turn around and walk to the same old spot and say... Hey you have you seen me lately?

Pictures 04:08
Looking through the yesterdays The pictures they all fade Expressions have gone blank Look into tomorrow I hope it don't look the same I hope it don't look the same They're the places I used to sit And Look into the sky Wishing I could be the change Look inside my troubled mind I only know that I hope it don't look the same I hope it don't look the same There's the road I've traveled on The miles behind were long The storm clouds and the rain There's no fork in the road ahead Just a straight course that I've set I hope it don't look the same I hope it don't look the same Looking through the yesterdays The pictures they all fade Expressions have gone blank

Change... It comes to everything we have But it's okay Everyone know that it can't all be bad Tell me you don't mind And I'll keep it all inside Look at me with those eyes And tell me it's alright I'll close my eyes And try to keep them dry Change... It comes to everything All those things they say It turns out they don't mean me I'll close my eyes And try to keep them dry It's like getting out or warm water Into the sun Some how it's cold and you want to go back But you can't and you won't because you know That part of your life is gone Gone

You walk away and I can't see you goin' but I sure know where you've been. You run away and I can't see you runnin' but I sure know where you've been. And I think I could cry some times but I fall asleep and then you miss my intentions. And I you know that I fall some times when I'm crossing the street just to get some attention. This way that way which way is easier done? This way's my way and I could see she was havin' fun. She's havin' that fun. She's havin' that lean that mean that big and bad old fun. She was walkin' away I was walkin' that dog. This way's my way I could see it don't matter. It don't matter at all. It wouldn't matter if I was twenty-two feet tall. I'll keep my peace. It all satisfies me.

The leaves hold in the water On the sidewalk Like a giant orange sponge Trying to give me a wash And I'm feeling pretty dirty Like a bath might be alright I think anybody would be After being me last night I should've stayed in bed Like I always want to do I shouldn't have listened But I can't say no to you Tell me this is all a dream The life that I lead Tell me I'll wake up soon Tell me I just stayed in bed Again I should've stayed in bed Like I always want to do I shouldn't have listened But I can't say no to you

I made good time walking home Thinking of lying down next to you The wind and rain, they kept me cold Sometimes I'm a hard one to get through to The aches of tonight were on my heels Thoughts of tomorrow on my head I know it's too late but I still Wonder how you meant what you said This could be the best it will be What goes around don't always come around It's not some sweet romantic comedy No one comes running as you're walking out I may be no one anyone should be But I may be the one exactly what you need I made good time coming in I quietly closed the door behind me I lay down and count to ten Hoping that you might come to find me Finally fell asleep and dreamed Of things I know I shouldn't have All the things you're telling me That make me wonder who I am Like this could be the best it will be What goes around don't always come around It's not some sweet romantic comedy No one comes running as you're walking out I may be no one anyone should be But I may be the one exactly what you need I made good time coming in Quietly closed the door behind me I wake up and shake my head again That's when she comes to find me

Home for Me 03:21
Ain't no candle in the window at home for me 'Cause she don't want me coming back Ain't no candle in the window at home for me The light was off before I left I don't need to tell the story We've all heard this one before It goes from sleeping close and cozy To sleeping alone on the floor From having someone to hold To having someone to hold you down She packed up all of my clothes And I headed out of town Ain't no candle in the window at home for me 'Cause she don't want me coming back Ain't no candle in the window at home for me The light was off before I left Now I thought I might feel alone It turns out I've felt this way before Every day leading up to the time When I heard her lock the door Ain't no candle in the window at home for me 'Cause she don't want me coming back Ain't no candle in the window at home for me The light was off before I left

If It's Gone 02:47
If you're never going to fling yourself upon me And wrap your wanting arms around me And tell me if I wanted to that you wouldn't let me go If that's gone I need to know If you're never going to kiss me like you used to In such a way that let's me know you want to Do you remember how that felt 'cause I do And if it's gone I need to know 'Cause there are forces trying to pull me away Like a wind trying to push my sail And now I'm giving in to that lonely road So if you're ever going to wrap your arms around me If you're ever going to kiss me like you need me And tell me that you just can't be without me Do it now before I go
9.
Sure 03:31
I try to see the world the way You see and understand Why I don't fit the picture And why I'm left out again I saw the look I felt the wind Blowing in a numbing chill Full circle and I come around The underside of the wheel I feel that certain chill again Each time I try to breathe Run away but no escaping now I've left a part of me And nothing I've ever done was sure I've walked through days and nights of this I swam in seas of doubt I've learned but for the life of me I can't figure this one out I've had my share of hopes and doubts I've learned to live alone I've learned some things aren't worth the wait But I can't leave this one undone I feel that certain chill again Each time I try to breathe Run away but no escaping now I've left a part of me And nothing I've ever done No nothing I've ever done Sometimes I think the only thoughts I've had were wishful But some came true And nothing I've ever done was sure

Blue Fly 02:26
Have 'em star you're the kid With your smile hid make a wish and run far Count to six maybe stones and sticks won't get you While you are so far away But yah I see you're simple way That's when you say I wish a wave would come and wash you away I wish it would ruin all your face Wash the past away Grab 'em star make 'em sing Walk off your plane into the mad rain Days are getting older just like me So I guess it's gotten a little bit harder to see While you are so far away But yah I see your simple way That's when you say I wish a wave would come and wash you away I wish it would ruin all your face Wash the past away I wish a wave would come and wash you away I wish it would ruin all your face Crush the past away

I cut myself on a grain of sugar And I tripped over my own two feet I picked myself up and now I'm feeling better Nothing hurts like the irony I made a wish on the brightest star But it was just a satellite I went outside and got in my car And I went for an endless drive It's a long way home That I don't want to go I never knew that the road behind could be so long But it's a long way home I pulled over on the side of the road I looked at myself in the rear-view mirror I'd never noticed that wrinkle in my face before The one right next to the brand new tear It's a long way home That I don't want to go I never knew that the road behind could be so long But it's a long way home Nothing hurts like the irony

Over 04:14
The sign says dead end And I can't believe I'm seeing this one again And again I must have come full circle I must have made the wrong turns I must have been looking For a new bridge to burn Looking back I see all the times when I could've seen a little better Looking back I see all the times when I should've seen a little better How not to lose all the same thing I keep losing Over and over Maybe I change Maybe I don't Maybe either way Is just the way it's got to go Maybe I try Maybe I forgot to try Maybe either way I have no control Looking back I see all the times when I could've seen a little better Looking back I see all the times when I should've seen a little better How not to lose all the same thing I keep losing Because times they change and live they call While some walk away we still try to stand tall And we all fall apart because we're all getting older I've seen it too many times Over and over

Love Song 04:26
It's all over now and I should be sleeping I take it back and give it back again It's all over now and I should be dreaming something new I take that back and give it back again Because I will see you again And I will love you, my friend, again I think I've seen these times in so many faces Next time around I surely will again A blighted sun isn't safe for us anyway Unless the ocean is a place that we can stay in I think about you every day still It's all over now and I should be dreaming I take that back and give back again It's all over now and I should be thinking something new I take that back and give it back again Because I will see you again And I will love you, my friend, again I think I've seen these times in so many faces Next time around I surely will again A blighted sun isn't safe for us anyway Unless the ocean is a place that we can stay in I think about you every day still
14.
The pages turn like rocks in the sand And every one leaves an imprint I'm leaving time has forced my hand And I know I've become dependant In spite of any reservations It's time to go on a long vacation Because everything is changing... everything But the sun is still shining somewhere west of here It's winding and crazy the road that'll take me Down to the water where I'll spend my days And don't try to find me I won't make it easy I've come too far to go back any way If there was any way to know... What's riding on the wind today I might be on a different road Or just heading the other way But everything is changing and I mean everything Because the sun is always setting somewhere It's winding and crazy the road that'll take me Down to the water where I'll spend my days And don't try to find me I won't make it easy I've come too far to go back any way Everything is changing and I mean everything But the sun is always shining somewhere It's winding and crazy the road that'll take me Down to the water where I'll spend my days And don't try to find me I won't make it easy I've come too far to go back any way
