Already Gone
I feel like I am standing still
And the rest of the world is moving on
I hide my eyes behind a smile
Homesick for a place I’ve never been
Where did the time go
I don’t feel that old
I’m afraid that
I’m waiting
For a train to come that’s already gone
It’s getting hard to hold the line
Or is the line the one that’s holding me
Follow the tracks back down the road
I’ve gone so far to get nowhere
Where did the time go
I don’t feel that old
I’m afraid that
I’m waiting
For a train to come that’s already gone
The clock won’t bear my burden now
It didn’t take long for time to leave
A puppet caught up in his strings
But if I don’t look I’ll never find me

You Wont Cry Alone
Sad eyed Cinderella
Don’t worry cause midnight is still far away
But stay on your toes
Ballerina
You’ve got to keep on dancing
Even when your song won’t play
But baby if you feel like crying
Sometimes it just takes a tear
I’ll be here to hold you so you can let go
I promise you won’t cry alone
Blue eyes I’m here when you’re hurting
Bruised and uncertain from life’s sticks and stones
Don’t be afraid
I’ll share your burden
No matter where you are you’re never too far from home
Cause baby if you feel like crying
Sometimes it just takes a tear
I’ll be here to hold you so you can let go
I promise you won’t cry alone

You Can’t Call Me Baby
You can say we have history but now that’s just the past
You can say it meant nothing I guess I meant less than that
You can say you still love me but we both know the truth
You can say that you’re sorry but there’s one thing you can’t do
You can’t call me baby anymore
Just because I let you once before
Leave me what’s mine and take what’s yours
But you can’t call me baby anymore
Do I look like I’m lonely do you see tears in these eyes
Well you must be crazy to think I need you tonight
But there was a time when you were my girl
And all that I needed was to hear that four letter word
But you can’t call me baby anymore
Just cause I let you once before
Leave me what’s mine and take what’s yours
But you can’t call me baby anymore
All I want is a little happiness, a little tenderness,
someone to hold and kiss, every night
Is it too much to ask for honesty, someone to believe,
who will always be right by my side
You can’t call me baby anymore
Just because I let you once before
Leave me what’s mine and take what’s yours
But you can’t call me baby anymore
The Wrecking Ball
They boarded up windows
Put up no trespassing signs
Too far gone to be saved
A condemned mistake
Just a room full of empty space
Bring on the wrecking ball
Knock down the whispers that live inside these walls
Bring on the wrecking ball
Nothing can fall when everything is torn down
A symphony of destruction
The sound of my martyred memories
The ceiling on the floor
Can’t hold me anymore
Just a lock on a broken door
Bring on the wrecking ball
Knock down the whispers that live inside these walls
Bring on the wrecking ball
Nothing can fall when everything is torn down
Bring on the wrecking ball
Knock down the whispers that live inside these walls
Bring on the wrecking ball
Nothing can fall when everything is torn down
Nothing can fall when everything is torn down
Nothing can hurt me when everything is torn down
When all the walls have fallen
I’ll finally stand tall
Over the hole in the ground
Where our love used to be
Ready to rebuild again
Slow The World Down
Everybody’s in a hurry
Caught up in keeping up with things that don’t matter at all
Searching for short cuts
To speed things up as if life is not fast enough
What happened to the front porch
Passing the day with a wave to all the cars as they pass
Time stops for no one
We’ve got one thing in common and its that we’re not growing young
So let’s unplug the clocks not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast
Won’t you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
Don’t think about tomorrow
I make a toast to just enjoy the taste of today
Cause life is such a short song
We’ve got to dance to the beat of the second hand slowly counting down
Let’s unplug the clocks not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast
Won’t you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
I’ll take the quiet of the country or the sand of the beach
A place where telephone lines don’t reach
Far from the city lights that steal the stars from the night sky
And high rise shadows that block out the sunlight
Where the sand castle is safe cause the tide is always low
And there’s always time and it always runs slow
Nothing at All
I am young, I am old
I am everything I’ve been told
I am a shepherd, I am a sheep
I am a lion too scared to sleep
I
Am
Not
With you
I am whisper, I am a scream
I’m the regret, waking from a dream
I am fiction, I am sincere
I am sadness with a smile’s veneer
I
Am
Not
With you
I am concrete I am glass
I am the present lost in the past
I’m adored I am alone
I am an orphan in my home
I am broken I am whole
I’m in love I’m letting go
Absolution and a sin
But in the end
I want to be something
In the end
I want to be something
You make me something
Night and Day
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
I try to find the words to say
That I will love you, I will love you night and day
No promises no guarantees
No one knows where this may lead
But now I can not see my life
Without you as my wife
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
I try to find the words to say
That I will love you, I will love you night and day
Baby let’s go run and hide
When the door closes we can lock the world outside
And you can take your lipstick off
Your kiss will still be just as soft
It’s not your makeup that makes you beautiful to me
Please believe these words are true
Practiced a hundred times in my empty room
Will you take this ring and my foolishness
Take my last name and wear it like your favorite dress
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
I have dreamed of our wedding day
The taste of tear drops as you say
That you will love me, you will love me night and day
In Love With A Lie
I want to run
But can’t take my foot off the break
Your love feels like
A pillow pressed to my face
Caught in the thought of you
Held by the promise you made
Falling apart as it breaks
I’m on my knees
Cause I can’t stand alone
The mind can’t change
What the heart controls
My love has left me here blinded
And my love has locked all the doors
But I believe the truth will set me free
To say goodbye
That I’m in love with lie
I understand
But there’s nothing I can do
Even though it burns me
I’m drawn to the flame in you
I know that I’ll take you back
A second chance for me to make
All of the same mistakes
I’m on my knees
Cause I can’t stand alone
The mind can’t change
What the heart controls
My love has left me here blinded
And my love has locked all the doors
But I believe the truth will set me free
To say goodbye
Cause I’m in love with a lie
The truth will set me free
The truth will set me free
Heaven Down A Dead End Road
Driving 100 miles an hour down a dead end road
With Johnny and June singing “Jackson” on the radio
Got a cigarette burning in my left hand
I always say I’m not smoker, but I guess I am
And another exit passes in the pouring rain
It’s a two lane road and I’m running the wrong way
With my foot on the gas and no place to go
I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow
Because boy you can’t, get to Heaven down a dead end road
I’m a pretty bad person but a really good fool
Watching life pass me by from an old bar stool
Just lost all my money in a game of pool
Well I hurt like the Devil and look like Hell
I’m a little lost if you can’t tell
And another exit passes in the pouring rain
It’s a two lane road and I’m running the wrong way
With my foot on the gas and no place to go
I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow
Because boy you can’t, get to Heaven down a dead end road
Who is this inside my skin
Got to find myself again
Before I make it to the end
Of this two lane road in the pouring rain
Before I run out of chances to change my ways
With my foot and the gas and no place to go
I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow
Cause boy you can’t, get to Heaven down a dead end road
Goodbye June
Goodbye June
I’m walking away
I have grown older
Tomorrow won’t let me stay
No more marks on the wall
I’m as tall as I’m going to get
But I’m not scared of the darkness anymore
Or the monsters under my bed
Because summer’s not over
We’re just halfway
And as the days grow longer
The nights stay further away
I’m no longer a child afraid to change
And I will be alright I’ll see you next year
Goodbye June
Memories packed up in boxes
A boy with a lifetime to go
Time may take but it teaches
How much we don’t really know
Summer’s not over
We’re just halfway
And as the days grow longer
The nights stay further away
I’m no longer a child afraid to change
And I will be alright I’ll see you next year
Goodbye June
I’ll trace my branches
Back to your roots
And when the winter time takes me
December will feel like June
From The Inside Out
Stomp your feet
Shake the ground
It is time to wake up
Throw your stones
Ripple the water
One day your waves will reach the shore
Stop looking in from the outside
Release your heart
With tears and laughter
Because love’s no good locked inside
Stop looking in from the outside
Stop looking in from the outside
Looking
In from the outside
You can’t see
We’re falling apart
From the inside out
Don’t close your eyes it’s time to wake up
Don’t close your eyes
Looking
In from the outside
You can’t see
We’re falling apart
From the inside out
Stomp your feet
Shake the ground
It is time to wake up
Fall In Love Again
Every time I see you smiling face
It makes me fall in love all over again
Why did I say goodbye before
I’ve opened up and closed so many doors
What if my left turn had ended up right
Would you be here with me tonight
As I look back, I’m glad I did not know
What I thought was love, was fear of alone
Cause I found strength in falling apart
Sometimes an end is another chance to start
Every time I see your smiling face
It takes me to the place where we began
Every time I feel your arms around me
It makes me fall in love all over again
You’re so good for me
I’m right where I’m supposed to be
And now I see how good love can be
Without a doubt I know that tears will fall
I am cracked but gratefully flawed
Our failures are not hard to see
I believe they’re the best part of me
Every time I see your smiling face
It takes me to the place where we began
Every time I feel your arms around me
It makes me fall in love all over again
