Hey road traveler pick me up, i'll be on a lone road looking up
dreaming of the culture's in the corner's of this world
hey would you give me a way out
you know i call this land my home , it's a place that goes and goes and goes
consuming all the pleasures of this earth , hey i wanna lose it all
hey i'll bring along my songs, and share the music of my soul (the little i can remember) I've learned of other musics in this world, i want to open up these ears. cause what i hear is nothing new, and i'm drowning in it too..what does your music mean to you?
("alright rock out" - my favorite thing to say)

cause i would care if you're scared or if you're not, let's not assume if it's what's wrong or if it's right. and throw some muddy things in the pretty things we wear, and hide our faces in the messy things we share (ice-cream?) If your asking me i'll tell you all, hey i've got nothing more to hide. anymore and in a way i've lost pride. Let's stay awake til the day is new , and talk about what we're going through and why it matters that we endure our troubled minds..
cause i would care if your scared or if your not, let's not assume if it's wrong or if it's right, and throw some mud on the pretty things we wear, no hiding faces it's the messy things we share

Your Giant
04:38
|

|
Tell me what you need me to be. I would give you anything. I'd search the ocean deep. to set it at your feet. Tell me bout the worry and fear, share with me the burden you bear, as loud as your heart weeps just set it at my feet
when you learn the heard way and your world is crashing down, down, down
it may put you on the run, run, run, I'm behind you turn around, round round
and if you are tired, I'll race your Giant for awhile.
Tell me bout the thing that you dream, tell me about the truth that you seek, as true as your heart beats, i'll set it at your feet anger and hate, tell me if your feeling ashamed. you're bound to make mistakes, you'll wanna hide your face
when you learn the hard way and your world is crashing down, down, down
it may put you on the run , run, run, i'm behind you turn around, round round
and if you are tired, i'll face your Giant for Awhile.
-for my Nephew Jayden. I will always be like an older brother to you.

I'll Drive you away, let's roll the windows down, leave the world to face, not a reason i would stay. The rush of city lifestyle, we trade it for an open road. breathe the air is clean, farewell the crowded streets.. Say Goodbye.
Turn the music up, let our voices ring, the rhythm of the road, the quiet of the breeze. I see leaves of God, my heart floods with hope.
Los! come on get lost with me. Lost, wo oh oh, come on get lost with me!
the further that we go, the more we leave behind, the worries in our lives now it's only you and I and an easy ride!! Go on through the night
Lost! come on get lost with me. Lost, wo oh oh, come on get lost with me!
There's nowhere we need to be, nothing we have to do Lost!!!!

Adventures

She heard the birds that sing their songs but couldn't sing along
and their was pale light shedding in, yeah, but she couldn't see the use in it
cause this morning brought the same old shit she didn't apprehend
it came as patterned living did, as draining as it is
she said monotony it troubles me, i'd like to see it end
when do my adventures start, where do i begin
she said i'd leave this clasophobic heart
it's pulling me apart, yeah these people all the look the same,
all names and a face
he dreamed of the kind of fun that didn't come with joy
he dreamed of overflowing joy, it's pain he would destroy
he said anomisoity it troubles me, i'd like to it end, oh when do my adventures start, where do i begin
he said i'd leave this lovophobic heart it's pulling me apart
yeah these people all look the same all the names without out a face
they said this pace of life is killiing us oh when do our adventures start where do we begin (repeat)
hey i saw a rainbow, we'll find our pot of Gold.

I'm on the brink of something Good, good, good
but that is exactly why i'm scared to death
your on the brink of walking out on me
but please i guarantee i'll settle down, down, down
but oh oh oh oh girl, i'm acting like a child again
oh oh oh, grow, grow up
i'm getting love advice from all your friends
they probably think we're bound for a dead end
but oh oh oh girl, oh oh oh girl i can prove em all wrong
oh oh wait, oh oh just wait and see, wait and see
Wait and see (repeats)

London
04:03
|
|||
|
Let's go back to the place where we began and we were swept right off our feet. Cold air and wet hair move close to me, i'll share with you my umbrella.
streetlights and late nights, the city sleeps but we find it so hard to leave
so while we learned this foreign land,
we toured the sites as we had planned
but you were a beautiful surprise, in London! I discovered you, in London! I discovered you!
we talked on top of the hotel stores, this love affair echoed through the halls
so while we learned this foreign land
we toured the sites as we had planned
but you were a beautiful surprise. in London, I discovered you. In London
Now i've seen Windsor Castle. I've walked down Abbey Road. I've seen saint paul's cathedral. I've crossed the London bridge, I've seen the royal crown jewels, the changing of the guard, but best of all these wonders, I discovered you. In London, I discovered you.

50 Years
03:16
|

|
Come on in, it's been forever since i've seen myself in you
if i'm your blood, and if have your eyes, how come i've lost sight of you
I've heard tales, told with love that spreader into me
made me wish that your a mirror, your a pictures of me at fifty years
well i'm half as much ago
and oh, oh, oh…..that's exactly how i feel
Drinking wine, celebrate the guy that's changed the wold,
rich and poor alike
give you love, raise your glasses up he's touched your hearts
he's given much away
and all i can say…. I wanna give as much away
and all i want to do.. become a man that's loved like you

Poor
02:27

I've got both feet on the ground. I was once was lost but now i'm found
it doesn't matter that you've always had your doubts, its for me to figure out.
I said Goodbye to the burbs, i said i'd leave i kept my word
i doubled back to kiss my mothers one more time
it's time to leave, hell i'm 25
There's always something to be learned
i'm on the path i need to help myself succeed
for the first time in my life
I've got no food in the fridge, my paycheck blows like the wind
it doesn't matter that i'm barely making rent, i'm happier than i've ever been
there's always something to be yearned
i'm at a place in life where i've got all i need
and nothing good every came free
i'm free, but i've got all i need. I know i'm never looking back
no matter how hard it gets, i'm on my own with no regrets.

Games
03:31
|

|
As far as I can tell.
we weren't good from the start
as bold as my approach
I always seem to remain far behind
but i stopped you dead in your tracks
I grabbed a hold of your hand
than you looked at me and you said
"you know i don't wanna love affair to begin"
I could walk away, if you feel afraid
or if you want i'll stay, just no more games.
As far a what i've seen, your my tangible dream
spend the nighttime hours with me
but i always seem to lose you in the morning
I can watch you leave, put my heart to sleep
or if you want me baby, just no more games
Give me a break, you know there's something you just can't ignore
Give me a break, Give me a break..
Give up the games, I'm losing patience, i'm gonna walk away
Give up the games, Give up the games
Would you watch me leave
I could walk away
or if you want i'll stay
just no more games..

How It's Played
03:37
|
|||
|
Gave, gave all that you had , you were happy to have somebody to tell
all your secrets you spilled out before you and left you trusting a feeling
let for someone to take, take all that you gave, never giving it back, as unfair as it sounds, well you gave it to fast. it's not easy to hold yourself together
so where do you go from here? You have reservations for two but now it's only just you, staring at empty chairs, picture someone is there. It's the silence you fear, does it get better from here?
Sincere , it's the game people play, say what they have to say, put on a beautiful face. don't make any mistakes. and you'll be like the moth lured into the flame…that's how it's played
Ch: so where do you go from here? you have reservations for twob ut now it's only just you, starting at empty chairs, picture someone is there, it's the silence you fear, does it get better from here?
Bridge: Does anyone really know to platy it safe? it just feels like you're out on a limb and it's a matter of time before you cave in.
Post Ch: Take one step at a time, who knows what you'll find, you'll be hurt but you'll heal. we all know how it feels. giving so much away from getting nothing back
Repeat chorus.
