Church Bells 04:06
I’ve been running around Just pounding the ground I’m sorta listening to them church bells Screaming out loud I’ve been thinking about The reasons in the dark for the light’s delay But the credit that they’ve been giving me Let’s me forget to pay There’s a dead man Waiting at that bus stop bench You can tell the absence of life All from the presence of the stench And when his trip is over It’ll just start again Cause you know sometimes hard beginnings You know they have hard ends Well you asked me once Why I make up these lies Why I make up these false visions in my own eyes Well it’s just because I can’t admit I despise Every single time I’ll fall I’ll fall before I rise There’s a dead man Waiting at that bus stop bench You can tell the absence of life All from the presence of the stench And when his trip is over It’ll just start again Cause you know sometimes hard beginnings You know they have hard ends

Spend It All 02:59
Well we’ll just lay here in bed Until the sun Shines through the shades Try to forget about What’s to come Just let them thoughts fade There ain’t enough to save it So let’s just Spend it all today It’s all gone Before you even know Don’t let it go to waste There’s plenty of work That’s left to do But what’s the use? Thinking of A million reasons why Just need one excuse There ain’t enough to save it So let’s just Spend it all today It’s all gone Before you even know Don’t let it go to waste Don’t wanna worry about The way things will work out Plan everything But never sure without a doubt Don’t wanna worry about The way things will work out

You call me to say that it’s over and done But you know the things I don’t tell anyone And that’s why Letting you leave would be too dangerous I’ll keep you with me I can’t trust no loose lips Because There’s never whiskey at the bottom Of the bottle When you call You think I’d keep some more to myself But I’ve already Spilt it all You say it’s no use cause they already know The money’s all spent you can’t pay what you owe And that’s why I thought we agreed this would stay between us Better move fast Cause you’ve caused quite the fuss There’s never whiskey at the bottom Of the bottle When you call I thought you’d keep it all to yourself But you’ve already Spilt it all

Only if she knew That’s its always been true I didn’t need nobody here by my side Though never quite enough There’s no reason now to bluff While my feelings run and hide But rarely am I wrong Empathy ain’t that strong And that’s the reason for most our fights Rarely am I wrong It’s worked for me this long She’s the only one that knows when I’m not right Everything that she sees In this person that is me Makes her realize what she never had But I’m nothing but myself And she loves me just as well And now her heart’s locked on me ironclad All the plans of her youth Were so easy to excuse I watched her expectations grow Hope all that glitters still is gold When the one you have and hold Sees resentment take its toll With my shining armor down She somehow sticks around I hope I’m always the man she thought she knew But castles aren’t built in a day Stones and mortar pave the way I’ll follow through on everything I ought to

Got It Right 03:28
Will I fall? On my own for so long Will I fall? I don’t ever wanna do you wrong I’ve been riding on a roller-coaster Up and down for 15 long years Despite the backs and forths the round and rounds Falling off has always been my fear But this time I think I got it right Feels like I finally won the fight Will I fall? I’m not the same as I used to be Will I fall? Only steady hands hopefully I made a promise and I never ever lied to you I know that you’d agree I made up my mind, you best believe Finished stealing low-hanging fruit From the poisonous tree But this time I think I got it right Feels like I finally won the fight This time I think I got it right Feels like I finally won the fight No more punches in the face No more coming in last place As far as I can tell Seems like things are going well And I gotta thank myself Cause my demons that I held are gone And I gotta thank myself Cause my demons that I held are gone

Frayed 05:29
I met you in another life When things just weren’t the same And everything got tangled up and turned around Cause you couldn’t fix your name And you said I’m afraid That I can’t take any more And I’m ashamed That I don’t know what’s wrong Well I thought about those afternoons And those weekends in the sun And I told you you would always be The only one that knew that I’m afraid That I can’t take any more And I’m ashamed That I don’t know what’s wrong Or how to change it It’s not really there Or is it sometimes? I don’t even care I’ve made up my mind I’m afraid That I can’t take any more And I’m ashamed That I don’t know what’s wrong Or how to change it It’s not really there Or is it sometimes? I don’t even care I’ve made up my mind

Oklahoma 05:37
I went to Santa Monica in the genius of my youth And I found myself in a pair of weathered shoes Didn’t ask for anything except for no bad news But I ended up with more than I could use Money wasn’t everything Till I was down to my last dime And I shunned the ones I never knew to need Cause the one thing you can never buy is time So you take the most From the ones that give the least There’s a home in Oklahoma That I never should have left Please take me back leaving you’s my one regret Cause my heart still owes you Let me settle up my debt There’s a home in Oklahoma yet Doo do doo do Some calls I was waiting for And some I didn’t expect But the sound of nothing never sounded sweet So I took my turn though I wasn’t up next Cause second place is just the last one beat There’s a home in Oklahoma That I never should have left Please take me back leaving you’s my one regret Cause my heart still owes you Let me settle up my debt There’s a home in Oklahoma yet Doo do doo do Though I can’t turn back time, no You’ll always been mine, oh Though I can’t turn back time, no You’ll always be mine, in Oklahoma yea

Goodnight 03:00
Well it won’t be long Till the good Lord he comes to call With a voice so sweet You’ll find your home But I guess it’s time I should be lucky that I Was the one You called your own So I sit and watch That damn ticking clock And I wonder, did I Do you right? When the sun Goes down In our old home town Will I see you At the light Or is this goodnight?
10.
Crybaby 02:45
Go ahead now and Cry your eyes out What you lost You’ll never regain Keep on Just cry baby They hear your song But they don’t know your pain The cries ain’t yours to keep Stuck in a place that you can’t leave They’ll never know It’s not your selfishness to blame Don’t stop Cry for your baby They hear your voice Sing the same old refrain You had it all But then you lost it You had it all Now you’ll never leave these plains
11.
Some people just stand by the wayside And watch the river swell They don’t damn it up so damnit it’ll take us All the way to Hell You’re spending money when you know you don’t have it Learn a lesson or you know it's gonna happen Again, and again and again again Again, and again and again again Pay the man so the man can make his payments The bills are coming due It ain't my debt but damn I gotta pay ‘em It goes straight to you Young man who don’t agree he’s got no heart So many mouths to feed Old man who don’t agree he’s got no head Watch his pockets bleed The bus we’re riding on don’t got no mechanic It’s slowly breaking down Don’t fix it then there won’t be a seat left When it comes back around
