Have everything you want but for a price
Read the fine print once or twice
Know the things you do in life
Have a consequence sometimes
Be careful who you trust know where they’re at
Hope the ones you love will love you back
You’re lucky if you have someone like that
Find a love who makes you laugh
Any time you fall just bounce right back
Climb back on the horse when it comes in last
Try to stay the course don’t get off track
Don’t let little things distract
Don’t be lonesome
Don’t be scared to just go it alone
Stand your ground
Don’t forget to admit when you’re wrong
Grab everything you want before it fades
Know that time can slip away
Try to live and learn from your mistakes
Moments that you have, appreciate
Have a look around and take some stock
Keep both feet on the ground
When they inflate you up
Know when you should walk away and stop
Or to give it all you’ve got
Any time you fall just bounce right back
Climb back on the horse when it comes in last
Try to stay the course don’t get off track
Don’t let little things distract
Don’t be lonesome
Don’t be scared to just go it alone
Stand your ground
Don’t forget to admit when you’re wrong
Don’t be lonesome
Don’t be scared to just go it alone
Stand your ground
Don’t forget to admit when you’re wrong

One Lucky Guy
03:06
|
|
||
|
He's on your mind
While I'm the invisible love-giving guy
To your heart that's blind
I'm a ghost half the time
He doesn't know he's one lucky guy
Cause you hear what he says
While I'm at the top on my lungs, my last breath
But your heart is deaf most of the time
He doesn't know…
He's one lucky guy
One lucky bloke
What I wouldn’t trade
To have and to hold
One lucky guy
He doesn’t know
The ones you love best
Can hurt you the most
He doesn't care
Seems like he walks by you like you’re not there
Treats you unfair
And acts so unkind
He doesn’t know he’s one lucky guy
But you do what he says
If he says Jump
You say, How High? and YES!
You chose to forget
Or you just let it slide
He doesn’t know…
He's one lucky guy
One lucky bloke
What I wouldn’t trade
To have and to hold
One lucky guy
He doesn’t know
The ones you love best
Can hurt you the most
He doesn’t care
And if you’re falling
Well I would be there
To catch you in time
And help you decide
He doesn’t know he’s one lucky guy
I’d love you so if you were mine
He’ll never know… till you say goodbye

Monopoly

I landed on your Hotel
You had it all then it seemed
And I didn't know you too well
But you said I could stay there for free
So, I hung my hat on your shelf
You took a Chance helping me
I didn't treat you too well
But you never stopped loving me
All through the game
You should have won
But I kept you holding on to me
With hopes I wouldn't cheat
Do you think I can change?
Do you think I'm the one?
Do you wanna share Boardwalk's fun with me
Through your Monopoly
You drove your Car by the Jail
And gave your Free Parking to me
But I've only one Railroad to sell
And you chose to ride it with me
All through the game
Passed Go more than once
Rolled Doubles and my turn's done
It seems...you always own the Deed
Do you think I can change?
Do you think I'm the one?
Do you wanna share Boardwalk's fun with me
Through your Monopoly
All through the game
You should have won
And wondered what side I'm on to be
The one who always cheats
Do you think I can change?
Do you think I'm the one?
Do you wanna share Boardwalk's fun with me
Through your Monopoly
So, I landed on your Hotel
You had it all then it seemed
And I didn't know you too well
But you said I could stay there for free

Christmas in July
03:32
|
|||
|
Snow is falling, in the place where I grew up
That's where all my Christmas memories stay
We'd salt the roads and watch our cars begin to rust
As season's changed I moved away
But now It's like Christmas in July
And it's Summer all the time
It's a holiday, everything's green
But I miss you in my life
On another silent night, I'll sing
Cause it brings me back home like a child on Christmas Eve
We'd wrap our presents and drink hot chocolate from a mug
And hang our stockings near the tree
On early Christmas mornings we would all wake up
Seems these days I oversleep
It's like Christmas in July
And it's Summer all the time
It's a holiday, everything's green
But I miss you in my life
On another silent night, I'll sing
Cause it brings me back home like a child on Christmas Eve
Let it snow now
What seasons bring I'm not home now
But I can dream
It's like Christmas in July
And it's Summer all the time
It's a holiday, everything's green
But I miss you in my life
On another silent night, I'll sing
Cause it brings me back home like a child on Christmas Eve
Holiday, everything's green
But I miss you in my life
On another silent night, I'll sing
Cause it brings me back home like a child on Christmas Eve

I still know a trick or two
But nothing's up my sleeve it's true
What you see's not what you get
A sleight of hand distracting you
A Peter Pan pretending to
Fly away so you'll forget
And in this magic show, I haven't vanished yet
There's nothing in my hat you see
But watch me set the rabbit free
Watch me saw the girl in half
Catch a bullet in my teeth
Make Human Cannonballs of me
Up on a wire without a net
And in this three-ring show, gotta keep em coming back
All smoke and wires you see
Out in this circus scene
Fools always have your back
But there's clowns in the driver's seat
Passengers half-asleep
See what they want, while you distort the facts
The more you're acting like a fool
The more they love and cherish you
The more I just don't understand
The wizard says a word or two
He must have cast a spell on you
Hypnotized into the plan
And even if it's poison now, they'll eat it off your hand
All smoke and wires you see
Out in this circus scene
Fools always have your back
But there's clowns in the driver's seat
Passengers half-asleep
See what they want, while you distort the facts
Well the story's just not true
And it's always been fake news
All smoke and wires you see
Out in this circus scene
Fools always have your back
But there's clowns in the driver's seat
Passengers half-asleep
See what they want, while you distort the facts
While you distort the facts
While you distort the facts

Lady Luck
03:37
|
|||
|
This road I'm walking on
Hot concrete in the sun
It burns my feet but I push on
Each sign that's up ahead
Says I can't turn back again
I've gambled years and now they're gone
I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
And break the rules she makes
So double-down and deal away
Let it ride, don't take a pass
This game is moving way too fast
But I'm All-In anyway
I've anted up, it's up to fate
Each hope I've ever felt
There's a coin in a wishing well
And how it lands, it's heads or tales
But I've spent my life this way
Half asleep, not quite awake
Guess I've been dreaming all along
I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
The house wins any way
But you can bet that I'll still play
Spotlights don't ever last
But my life is moving way too fast
It feels like yesterday, so long ago, so far away
In this game that I've known.
It's the deal that I've made
And I've known all along
It's a risk that I'd take.
I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
She can take the pain away
And makes me numb like Novocain
Those highs don't ever last
And in a minute, it's gone like that
She can take it all away
Or give it back if you can wait

That Life
04:20
|
|||
|
It's been a while
Here comes the end
I wanna feel myself again
Remember who I am
Let every road lead back to when
I used to smile
And not pretend
I wanna be myself again
Recognize the man
That's not too old to dig back up
And start again
How did I go from left to right
How did I learn to live and fall asleep at night
When did I waste the sacrifice
When did I give up on that life
I've walked for miles
(I've walked for miles I've walked alone)
On a road that bends
(On a road that never takes me home)
But I wanna climb that hill again
Race right to the end
If every road leads back to when
I'd start again
How did I go from left to right
How did I learn to live and fall asleep at night
When did I waste the sacrifice
When did I give up on that life
How did I go from left to right
How did I learn to live and fall asleep at night
When did I waste the sacrifice
When did I give up on that life
I wanna be myself again
Recognize the man
That's not too old to dig back up
Not too old to dig back up
And when the road just feels too tough
I'd start again

God’s Waiting Room
03:57
|
|||
|
I got tired of playing the game
Packed the whole thing up, and left LA
I hit the road and left those dreams behind
I stopped trying to look one way
Let myself grow up, and my hair turn grey
And made new friends that don't know my old life
But the Devil makes deals, boy
It's hotter than hell, enjoy
Here out in the desert Palm Springs Life
Tell me you'll visit soon, I'm here in God's waiting room
There ain't no better place I'd rather die
I got tired of the carpool lanes
And the freeway stopped, even with 6 lanes
With 2 hours left just to make that 5 mile drive
Everyone seemed to all want fame
Be a movie star or the next big name
I traded all those things out for a while
But the Devil makes deals, boy
It's hotter than hell, enjoy
Here out in the desert Palm Springs Life
Tell me you'll visit soon, I'm here in God's waiting room
There ain't no better place to pass the
Time goes by and changes life so suddenly
But every day's the same day as before
No rain clouds in the sky, Look, we've managed to avoid
The Devil makes deals, boy
It's hotter than hell, enjoy
Here out in the desert Palm Springs Life
Tell me you'll visit soon, I'm here in God's waiting room
There ain't no better place I'd rather die
There ain't no better place I'd rather die
There ain't no better place I'm gonna die

The Little Things
04:11
|
|||
|
It's the little things that make me feel complete
And only half the time, I can barely fill those needs
I know there's no repair
I hoped, but the little things weren't there
With so much we shared
It's the little things that can knocked me off my feet
And only half the time, I can barely bend my knees
I've grown while you stayed there
I don't feel the little things if you care
They've disappeared
Well, they're gone but not forgotten
With a taste left bittersweet
The apple's not quite rotten
But it's just not safe to eat
And it's just not good for me
It's the little things I hoped that I would see
Or I could close my eyes pretend you give me
I know that love's not fair
You broke every rule in Truth or Dare
And that drove us here
It's a ride that I am stopping
On the edge right of my seat
And we crashed and burned too often
In a race I can't compete
But you're just not good for me, not good for me.
Well, it's gone but not forgotten
With a taste left bittersweet
The apple's not quite rotten
But it's just not safe to eat
Well, it's just not good for me
(We grew apart, or I might have changed
You broke my heart and I'm not the same)
It's just not good for me
I tried so hard, but I couldn't hide the pain
Well I always want the little things

Cupid's Bow
02:59
|
|||
|
I see it now
And though it's taken me some time to figure out
But that was such a different life with you around
And I thought somehow
We'd work it out
But the more I stayed away the more I'd doubt
That things would ever be the same and it turned out
While I built you up
You'd let me down
You'd take me out
You made me feel I was only just a prop
Like I was just your youthful toy that you showed off
And you dressed me up
And soon forgot
Did it make you feel much better
Did it make you feel alive
Did it make you feel so strong to know
You'd toy with someone's life
Did it make you feel much bigger
When you'd cut me down to size
I can see it now
Couldn't see it then
But I've learned to realize
I see it now
Just when I think I found another to call a friend
But then I just fall for the same old trick again
I'd let you in
The circle never ends
Did it make you feel much better
Did it make you feel alive
Did it make you feel so strong to know
You'd toy with someone's life
Did it make you feel much bigger
When you'd cut me down to size
I can see it now
Couldn't see it then
But I've learned to recognize
So, show me now
Show me what it's like to feel that fire within
And If cupid's bow would aim and break my skin I'd let you in
To break my hear again
And If cupid's bow would aim and break my skin I'd let you in
I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

Look About You
03:52
|
|||
|
People come and go and masquerade, put on a show, put on a face
Strangers I don't know and if I let them get too close, I'll push away
But then when you smile
I second-guess, for a while
I don't give in and I fight
I'll pretend that I don't like
You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now
People lose control, and walk away and let you go as feelings fade
(Fade away and though the feeling's strong it goes away)
The dangers of the road is to forget as I get older, it's that way
(Way too long before the pain is gone and washed away)
But then, you walk by
(I second guess)
And I second guess, one more time
I'll pretend that I don't like
(I should give in)
Should I give in? I just might
You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now
You've got this look about you
And I keep thinking maybe later on
Please say you kind of feel it too
Or maybe I've been reading signals wrong
Do you know? Is the feeling even there?
Or did I make it all feel strange?
Did you know? Are you only just aware?
Or have I scared you away?
What if I said that I wanted you to stay?
You've got this look about you
It's almost like I've known you somehow
I've got this funny feeling too
I wonder if you're gonna hurt me now
You've got this look about you
I've got this kind of déjà vu
And so I can't be next to you
I'm too afraid to let those feelings out

Bad Dreams
02:57
|

|
You were loved
There were times I tried to show it but couldn't budge
You were loved
But the circumstances messed the whole thing up
You were loved
From a distance but didn't know it and not enough
You were loved
But I kept inside until you've given up
One day soon, you might know I had for you, all this love
I've had some bad dreams
And when I wake up it's all true
I've made mistakes I can't undo
I can only hope that you know you were loved
You were loved
Maybe someday you might know it and you won't judge
You were loved
As many times as I could say it, it's not enough
What could I do, I couldn't show I couldn't move
I've had some bad dreams
And when I wake up, I'm confused
I can't erase, I can't unglue
I can only hope that you know you were loved
I've done some bad things
And I can't make up a good excuse
I behaved unfair to you
I can only hope that you know
You were loved
Through all of this time
But my hands were tied
