1. Ride
I've been out in the cold
I've been out in the rain
And I've felt the pleasure I felt the pain
I've struggled with addiction
I had to fight so many tears
But I never did surrender to my fears
Why would you leave?
You know that love is hard to find
And as long as we're alive
I know we can survive this ride
I was down and out
It was no big secret
There was no shadow of doubt
I was lost and I was scattered
So I built four walls of stone
And I know I lost the battle
But I made it to the shore
Why would you leave?
You know that love is hard to find
And as long as we're alive
I know we can survive this ride
Wherever it leads, wherever I go
Whether New Orleans
Or down to Mexico
I don't care, as long as you're there
And I am there to
It's just me and you

2. Waterfalls
You turn my eyes to waterfalls
You turn my heart to a train
And I know I know I am lost
But I've broken out of these chains
I know a curtain surrounds me
And all of this rock is a stage
We'll open up open these blinds
To see the end of this page
But we could change
I freeze when you're around me
But when you leave the seasons change
I've opened up but I'm locked inside
I'm like a bird in a cage
That's been served fear all of his life
Don't know what love really means
But we could teach a better way
And learn to dream a better dream

3. Wake Up Call
This is a wake up call for you
A wake up call for you
They're trying to sell us freedom
But they will never let us be free
They're trying to sell us freedom
But they will never let us be you see
They're trying to sell us freedom
But they will never give us peace
They're trying to sell us freedom
That's what they want you to believe
This is a wake up call for you
You got nothing left to win
When you got nothing left to lose man
You got nothing left to win
If you can't take away these blues now
You got nothing left to win
When you got nothing pure to choose from
You got nothing left to win
Haven't you heard the news
This is a wake up call for you
You don't have to climb a mountain
To find out whether or not it's high
You don't have to climb a mountain
You can always touch the sky
You don't have to climb no mountain
All you need is here for you
You don't have to climb no mountain
If you're looking for the truth
This is a wake up call for you

4. Lately
It's funny how sometime things happen
Funny how sometimes we don't plan them
Funny how sometimes people
Come into our lives
And then leave like shadows in the night
It's funny how sometimes
We just look in some ones eyes
And feel like we've known them for years
And lately I've been thinking about you
You've been coming to me in my dreams
I see Norah Walking in a living room
I see Norah walking in her sleep
And I adore her for staying inside of me
Even though we never did meet again
It's funny how sometimes
Just an hour in our lives
Can stay in our minds forever
And lately I've been crying
But it's not where you can see me
Cause the tears are not coming out
I see Norah Walking in a living room
I see Norah walking in her sleep
And I adore her for staying inside of me
Even though we never did meet again
And lately I've been tired
But it's not that I'm not sleeping
It's that I'm not falling asleep

5. Walking In The Dark
I'm walking in the dark
Where all your safes are locked
You got my heart if I'm not mistaken
I gave it years ago
Back when I didn't know
That your precious heart's
Not for the taken
But like a fish you reel me in
And I've forgotten how to swim
I write to you cause I'm in trouble
It's a case of disbelief
I'm like a fallen leaf
I lay around until I crumble
But you pick me up you see
You got this hold on me
I know some day we'll be together

6. In Between
You feel like you're changing
Yeah you're changing again
And through all your rearranging
It's like you never settled in.
I've been through a quarter of my life
And I'm still trying to find
What I'm looking for
And now I'm looking back
But there's no crumb on my path
To who I was before
It's like I'm falling back into my reflection
I'm trying to find a world beneath
Well I am who I am
And I am here now
And I am what I am
And I will always be him somehow
I've been through a quarter of my life
And I'm still trying to find
What I'm looking for
And now I'm looking back
But there's no crumb on my path
To who I was before
It's like I'm falling back into my reflection
I'm trying to find a world beneath
And I know there's more than one direction
I choose the one that seems right for me
And I'll make mistakes towards my destination
But it's all about the in between

7. Down
I'm down on the ground
I'm lying still and
I don't make a sound
Would you come to me now
Could you come to me now
That I'm all alone
I'm down on the ground
I look at all the bullshit
That surrounds me
It's 24/7 on national TV
People telling me
To be all I can be
All I can be is me
I'm down on the ground
I've been eating all the lies
That you fed
Now I'm throwing up
All the things you said
But how the hell
Did you get into my bed
Get out of my head
I'm down on the ground
I got too many tears
On my crying shoulder
And everyday it seems
like the world is getting colder
And what have we found
What have we found?

8. New Years Resolution
"I’ve got it all figured out", she says,
"It’s all in my head."
"I’ll fly down to New York City
and crawl into your bed."
She said.
"Well it sounds like a plan",
He says and smiles as he leaves,
"Damn I’m going to miss you May,
But leave a light on when I sleep."
He says.
It’s another New Years Eve in LA,
It’s been so cold since we parted ways,
Another midnight, dry mouth,
Heart with an ache.
Another New Years Eve in LA...
Without my babe.
So she writes him a letter,
"August I love you so,
I wanted to say so many times,
How your embrace it feels like home."
And then he writes her back,
"You always knew how to make me cry,
I’ve been carrying around that picture of you
From way back when you were a child."
He says.
Another New Years Eve in LA,
It’s been so cold since we parted ways,
Another midnight, a dry mouth,
Another dawning day.
New Years Eve in LA without my babe.
And I’m sorry for the times
I’d look out my window,
Way beyond the city lights,
I’d scream out your name.
I know you can’t hear me
But I know you feel the same,
And I know that there's no drug on earth
That could take away the pain...
Of another New Years Eve in LA
Without my babe.

9. Just Another Night
Just another night
Looking in your eyes
While you’re sleeping
When did I let you in
Between us only skin
And I can feel your heart beatin
You say you don’t get it
How two souls can find their way to eachother
Well sometimes everything goes backwards
And we’re looking for answers
But don’t look at me
I’m just a little man
A part of a bigger plan
That I don’t understand
Just another night
Walking around the streets
Because I’m finding it hard to sleep
When you’re not around
Making that breathing sound with me
In perfect harmony
And I’m not looking backwards
Cause there’s nothing there to find
There’s nothing left to hide
It’s all in front of my eyes
I’m looking at me
I’m justa little man
A part of a bigger plan
That I don’t understand

10. Some Day
I look at all the things I've done
Look at the man that I've become
And I wonder if it's OK
My Dad he always told me boy
Happiness ain't about buying toys
You got to work hard for it every day
And then I say
Someday I'm gonna thank him for it
And when I thank him for it
I'll say do you remember how back in the day
Woke up this morning in my car
I can't believe I followed my heart so far
And I'm still looking for my place
My Mamma always told me son
I want to see you settle down before I'm gone
With a smile on your face
And then I say
Someday I'm gonna thank her for it
And when I thank her for it
I'll say do you remember how back in
The days that I skipped school
When I smoked thought I was so cool
When I got my first tattoo
Yeah I was never good with rules
But I never took the blame
And my excuse was always lame
I know I was hard to take
But you loved me
You loved me just the same
So someday I'm gonna thank 'em for it
And when I thank 'em for it
I'll say someday

11. A Story Of a Ghost
You're so beautiful
You cause accidents down town
Yeah all the boys they'll be honking their horns
When they see you walking around
She calls me some kind of angel
Even though I can't fly
And it wouldn't be easy I'm sure
With this flood in my eyes
It's amazing we've come so far without moving
You said you'd catch me when I'd fall
But now I'm dealing with these bruises
I said I'd love to make love to you
But you got your doubts and I know
I don't have too and it's alright
You see a girl like you is so hard to find
And I'm always moving so fast
And this angel doesn't need to land
He needs his rest
It's amazing we've come so far without moving
You said you'd catch me when I'd fall
But now I'm dealing with these bruises
And we both know tomorrow will come
And I'll be heading to that other coast
But I'm so scared that my memory
Will turn into a story of a ghost
Cause I'd rather be an angel
Glimpsing from the sky
I'd rather be an angel in your eyes
In Sarah's eyes

12. That Day
About a hundred miles away
There's this little cafe
That's where I saw you I saw you
I lost a part of me that day
You see I knew I had fallen
And all the roads they lead you way
Well honey I know I've never been to Rome
But when you're around
you make it feel like home
You make it feel like home
Well now my sky's all gray
Cause you're still miles away
And there's a part of me
That cries all night
It's longing for a sunny day
And now my face is flat on the ground
You were like a grease spot on my road
And I know this ain't no parking zone
But when you're around
You make it feel like home
You make it feel like home
Don't look at me that way
With those cute little dimples
On your face
And say that I don't mean it
Cause I mean it
You blind me with your grace
About a hundred miles from here
There's this little cafe
And that's where I saw you I saw you
You looked so beautiful that day
All I wanted was to see you smile
And make me smile for a while
You see for so long I've been alone
But when you're around
You make it feel like I'm home

13. New Day
Wake up to a new day
There is always a price to pay
So you read your horoscope now
What did it say
Wake up to a new day
Whatever happened to the man
You were at 17
You were all full of dreams
It's all in your hands
If only you'd understand
You'd open your eyes and see
That you like me were born free
Wake up to a new day
Today is the tomorrow
You hoped for yesterday
So what are you going to do
You got nothing to lose
It's all in your hands
If only you'd understand
You'd open your eyes and see
That you like me were born
