Give it a Go

if you’re feeling like you’re hitting the wall
like your engine is beginning to stall
you’re still standing but you're starting to fall
don’t let it show
cause the moments riding on you now
you’d better hurry up and figure it out
its time to wind it up and take your throw
give it a go
and forget about the things they say
don’t let their big mouths get in your way
nothings ever how you think it will be,
just wait and see, just wait and see
And if you do the best with what you got
You’re gonna hit it when you take that shot
It’s coming for you ready or not
So give it a go
so forget em if they just can’ t see
don’t take their blindness personally
they only wanna disagree
and you gotta be who you gotta be
so don’t pretend you’re something you’re not
and do the best with what you got
show everybody what you know
and give it a go
everybody’s waiting for the show
so give it a go

Enough
03:03

thats enough for me, I’ve had enough today
done all i will do, said all i will say
nighttime is here, I’m gonna drift away
that’s enough for me, that’s enough for today
its not an easy task to forget the world outside
it’s not a lot to ask,all you gotta do is say
thats enough for me, thats enough now, thats enough for today
we all need a break from time to time
and that’s enough for now I’m gonna turn off my mind,
it’s such an easy thing to get tangled up inside
all the uneasy things, there comes a point where you just say
thats enough for me, thats enough now, thats enough for today
Ive got enough information
that I can finally see
that the way things are going
the less i know the happier I’ll be
that’s enough work and that’s enough whine
that’s enough worry, it’s all going to be fine
close your eyes and let the strings unwind
that’s enough for one day baby, time to ease your mind
that’s enough for one day baby, leave it all behind

I Still Look For You
03:39
|

Every time I take the underground
I pass your stop on the way in town,
I think about when we first met.
You asked me for that cigarette.
I still laugh at things you used to say
And I go drinking where you band would play
And I go hang out in the square.
And I hope that I might see you there.
I still look for you
I think you’d want me to
I still look for you
Even though those days are through
I still look for you
The other day I saw your face in the crowd
I even called your name aloud
I know you would never hear
I know you were never there,
But I still look for you
I think you’d like me to
I still look for you
I don’t know what else to do
I still look for you.
And though it’s so much time ago
Another life I used to know
There’s something that I can’t let go
stuck inside my soul
On the empty underground
I pass your stop again and look around
You might have never known my name
I knew we always felt the same
I still look for you

I'm Your Man
02:57

Do you wanna go out ? Do you wanna stay in?
Do you want nothing more than just a friend?
Do you want someone to come and hold your hand,
And be part of the plan? baby I’m your man
If you get stuck I’ll help you along.
If you wanna sing, I’ll write you a song
I’m on your side, wherever you stand.
I’m your biggest fan, baby I’m your man.
I’m your man,
and if only for a moment
You would come along with me,
See how good your man can be.
I’m your man,
your knight in shining armor,
Your king and your clown.
If you need me, you know I’ll be around
Do you need strength? Do you need hope?
Do you need someone to throw you a rope?
Do you need and new drug? I could be your dope
You know that I can, baby I’m your man
Do you want coffee? Do you want tea?
Do you talk, or would you rather just listen to me?
Supply a need and I’ll fill the demand.
You know that I can
Baby, I’m your man.
Now you understand,
You know who I am
Baby I’m your man

No Remorse
03:13
|
|||
|
Ive begun to count the hours of days
to pass the time away
Measuring your absence in the sound between
church bells and tambourines
and how far Ive come from the source...
All I can feel is no remorse
I can’t tell the difference from a dream
and when you’re really here
I don’t know the boundaries of my love for you
And that’s what I really fear,
But when there’s some laws to enforce
I only show you no remorse
should all this slowly drift off course
Lost in the satellites
And everything that we’ve accomplished here
Vanishes overnight
should our goals end up in divorce
I think by now you’d know
That when it’s time to go
I’ll only show you no remorse

Never Land
04:13
|

I hit California with a broken heart
Things got off to a pretty rough start, once again
I found a band but we never rehearsed so I packed the van up
I threw it in reverse
Time blows around like ash in the wind
After a while, you start to begin to get your wings and learn how to fly
and never land…
I found myself in a quiet little town where I swear I could here the sun going down every night
But another blue morning, turned another grey day, another black night sent me on my way
How many roads do you take ’til you find
the one place that’s left where there’s still peace of mind is up in the sky
and I’m gonna fly and never land
I ‘d like to think that I always could let things take me where they would
and though I’d like to settle down, something keeps me off the ground
you know I’d like to stay and understand, but I just don’t think I can.
I fell in love with a pretty face ’til another love came and took my place so baby,
Here I am again, you see, on a whim, I had this hunch that you and I’d be something good again…but I guess I never learn, so I guess I’ll never land…gonna keep on flying..don’t think I’ll ever land…

Waiting for the War
04:04
|
|||
|
if i know one thing
then that’s one thing too much
so I keep my mouth shut
and stay out of touch
the television holds me hostage to it’s dial
communication has broken down, meanwhile
the truth’s getting hard to ignore
and now I’m just waiting….
self-conscripted
mission unknown
intel is twisted
suspicion’s grown
I’ve seen enough to know the trouble in store
Now I’m just waiting for the war
I’ll build a cabin
way out in the woods
i’ll hunt for rabbit
i’ll barter for goods
if someone finds me, I’ll have changed my face and name
I’ll say “go about your business and let me do the same”
And i’ll post up back at my door
Where I’ll be waiting….waiting
without a weapon
army of one
i got no money
i ain’t in it for the fun
I don’t believe in anything I did before
Im just waiting for the war

The Veil
02:58
|

|
As the ground begins to harden,
The lilies lose their place in garden.
The morning breaks at noon
And memories of her soon slowly find their way back to him.
Suddenly the wind has shifted.
The veil upon the season is lifted.
Laundry on the line blows around in time.
Dancing just like only she would do.
And he thinks about the plans they made
And how they’d see them through
If they only had the wherewithal
to make those dreams come true.
In the hollow breeze of autumn,
As memories of her sink to the bottom.
The leaves cover the lawn, the birds have all moved on,
Maybe by tomorrow, he will…
