Trying Time 03:05
Took a stance, paid for my conviction Till I had as much as I could take Looking back my favorite decision Was the one I never tried to make But today I keep playing my position Cause I never rely on my 20/20 vision It’s like my mind and I can’t get along Took a ride, the course of my collision Was a life I never tried to live Couldn’t hide my war and its attrition Finally took as much as I could give Now sometimes I can find my own volition But I never react if I sense an imposition It’s like my mind and I can’t get along I’ve seen some trying times I’ve been defying time But now it’s defying time And this is my trying time Here I go no more indecision Cause it’s been as long as I can wait And I know I made the right revision When I play each song that I create It’s a lot but I’ve got a premonition That whatever I’ve done my mistakes can be forgiven That’s why this time I’ll try to get along

Icarus 03:20
Look to the skyline Wondering if I could be I think that I might find Something up there for me And if I spread my wings, I could fly But I only can go so high Can this be the one? Could I reach the sun? Might I be the one? I fall down I fall down Just an average Sunday With the people I love But I think maybe one day I could rise above And if some god on high is holding me down I’m gonna stand my ground Can this be the one? Could I kiss the sun? Might I be the one? I fall down I fall down Maybe if I hold on you’ll let me go Maybe if I stay strong you’ll let it slide And if I fall apart I’ll let you know But you’ll never melt my pride Can I be the one? Might I be the one? I might come undone But I could fly Gotta try…

She's got me going a mile a minute When all my signs say 55 And you know I won't admit it But I like the way she drives And every time she tries to kiss me I get tangled in her hair And you know it’s no big mystery I just wanna stay right there She made me believe in reincarnation Feel like I’ve known her a thousand times before And I don’t think there’ll be a moment we’re wasting Yeah she's so amazing and I keep coming back for more I found my song again and I hope that you know that you're my happiness I found my smile again and I hope that you know that you're more than a friend Yeah I hope that you know that you're more than a friend Well I never dreamed I'd find her Let alone while wide awake And every morning I remind her What a perfect pair we make And it's no use if we ignore it Cause the feeling’s shouting loud and clear And there's no point of looking for it Cause we're already here She made me believe in reincarnation Feel like I met her a thousand years ago And I don’t think there’ll be a moment that we’re wasting Yeah she's so amazing and I keep coming back for more I found my song again and I hope that you know that you're my happiness I found my smile again and I hope that you know that you're more than a friend Yeah I hope that you know that you're more than a friend We only come together when we're falling apart And nothing lasts forever But there's no better place to start She made me believe in reincarnation Feel like I met her a thousand years ago And I don’t think there’ll be a moment that we’re wasting Yeah she's so amazing and I keep coming back for more I found my smile again and I hope that you know that you're more than a friend

One More 03:27
How gone could I get before I could forget bout the good life And would I be free? How far can I go before all that I know is behind me And who would I be? Pardon me; all I need's one more drink and I think this could be the last one I'll be free; all I need's one more smoke and I hope I can finally be done How high must I be before all that I see is a mystery And would I come down? How hard must I try to keep living this lie Cause I can't keep my feet on the ground Pardon me; all I need's one more drink and I think this could be the last time All I need is one more of the thing I was sure would make everything fine It's holding me up and it's breaking me down but I can't let go I’m losing control, I keep digging this hole but I can't say no Pardon me; all I need's one more drink and I think this could be the last one One more promise to break with an honest mistake and I'll finally be done Pardon me; all I need's one more smoke and I hope this can be the last time All I need is one more of the thing I was sure would make everything fine Pardon me; all I need is one more I'll be free; all I need is one more 'Scuse me please; all I need is one more Promise me all I get is one more...

Fallout 02:43
What you got it ain't enough What you want we got plenty of What you need is more and more What are you living for? When it all comes down Who you gonna call on now When it all comes down How long before the fallout What’s your name? How you do? I’ve got something here for you What you need you’re not sure Who are you working for? When it all comes down Who you gonna love on now When it all comes down How long before the fallout Goodbye, this is my last goodbye Who you are- Not enough! What puts you out we got plenty of What you need is a cure What are you fighting for? When it all comes down Who you gonna call on now When it all comes down Who you gonna love on now When it all comes down Who you gonna pray to now When it all comes down How long before the fallout

Chances 03:53
You are the inspiration For my procrastination But I’ve no hesitation With you This is our connection With every imperfection I’ve made the right selection It’s you I don't know where we’ll go But there's no need to know what is true I don’t know what romance is But I’ll take my chances with you You’re where the day’s sunrise is With all your sweet surprises You make me realize I’m Free You know just what I’m feeling My deepest heart revealing So set my mind a-reeling Please I don't know where we’ll go But there's no need to know what is true I don’t know what romance is But I’ll take my chances with you Everything’s better when nothing is perfect Oh, nothing is better than when I’m with you We will last forever No matter what the weather Cause when we stand together We shine This is our addiction And you my favorite friction Let’s start our own tradition Be mine I don't know where we’ll go But there's no need to know what is true I don’t know what romance is But I’ll take my chances with you

What We Are 04:29
Where do we go? Where are we from? They say we’re one of a kind… But could it be that we’re all a kind of one? I don’t know where I belong I don’t know what’s going on All I can say is that maybe there is Something more than this For a moment I could almost see Underneath the make believe Just a moment like a shooting star How I wonder what we are Where’d we come from? What do we know? And if I’m already done How can I ever remember all I know? I don’t know what lies in store I don’t know what I’m looking for All I can say is that maybe there is Something more than this For a moment I could almost see Underneath the make believe Just a moment like a shooting star How I wonder what we are What is this now? Where have I gone? Cause I’ve been looking around But could it be I’ve been right here all along I don’t know if there’s a way I don’t know but for today All I can say is that maybe there is Something more to this For a moment I could almost see Underneath the make believe Just a moment like a shooting star How I wonder... How I wonder what we are

Friday 05:59
I’m falling down again I’ve found you in my quiet dreaming Unopened eyes are wiser when the sun goes down When on my feet I’m incomplete And so I lie here lovely It feels so beautiful down here when you’re around Now I’ll sing you something secret Close your eyes and you’ll see it By the light of midday dancing Now Hold here my heart once broken Swim in a love unspoken Drift away with me Rockabye, rockabye Baby I’m coming back again I lack the words to say I love you Unopened mouths can sing when souls are intertwined I’m falling down again, right now And I’ll be dreaming of you Until we embrace again I’ll have you on my mind Chorus Love is all we have and all we need Oh, love is all we have and all we need Now I’ll sing you something secret Close your eyes and you’ll see it By the light of midday dancing Now Hold here my heart once broken Swim in a love unspoken Drifting through this cool romance Hey now…
