Let it go
maybe forget yourself
It cost a lot
to be right all the time
A lot of words have been said
They’ll change your blood to heart from head
Think about the other side
the other side
the other side
Think about the other side
You think that you’ve
got it all figured out
I promise you
it isn’t true
nobody does
they never could
You get lost in an empty stare
You want to speak but the words aren’t there
Think about the other side
the other side
the other side
Think about the other side
A lot of words have been said
They’ll change your blood from heart to head
You get lost in an empty stare
You want to speak but the words aren’t there
Think about the other side
the other side
the other side
Think about the other side
Think about the other side
the other side
the other side
Think about the other side

Shadows
04:05
|

Why don’t you hold my hand
and help me understand
what this love is for
if I need it anymore
You used to talk to me
make sure that I could see
you always spell it out
sometimes you shout it out at me
Where did the light go
I just see shadows
why don’t you come on back to me
Where did the love go
I thought you might know
why don’t you come on back to me
What do you keep from me
that I could not believe
I’ve seen the mirror
the flashing hazards down the street
Where did the light go
I just see shadows
why don’t you come on back to me
Where did the love go
I thought you might know
why don’t you come on back to me
Where did the light go
I just see shadows
why don’t you come on back to me
It will find you
recognize you
hit you in your blown out knee
You must confess it
get it all out
maybe you can get set free
Maybe you could talk to me
Maybe you could talk to me

Get Right
03:33
|
|||
For every pain
there’s a pill
I just came here for the cure
but I took it for the thrill
I get high
I get low
My feet carry me to places
better left unknown
I get right
and I get wrong
I get right
and I get wrong
I’ll come back
I’ll be cool
trading mystery for a myth
just like the ones you learned in school
I give up
I give in
surrender everything I know
to the minds of lesser men
I get right
and I get wrong
I get right
and I get wrong

Graffiti Punks

When you're young
it should be fun
But, don't be cruel
cause you're not the only one
Kids can be mean
can make a scene
With sharpened teeth
they are tearing at the seams
Where I’m from
they don't know
They don't know
where I’m from
They roam the streets
They paint the walls
with words and pictures
that you shouldn’t see at all
They’ll burn it down
to the ground
erase the past
and you're holy muted sounds
Where I’m from
they don't know
They don't know
where I’m from
Where I’m from
they don't know
They don't know
where I’m from
Where I’m from
I don’t know
I don’t know
where I’m from
Easy come
easy go
They don’t know
where I’m from
They don’t know
They don’t know
They don’t know
where I’m from

Long Run
03:19
|
|||
It’s just a long run and I’m along for the ride
You've got yours and I’ve got my side
You only wanted to speak your mind
but now you're running off to hide
Don’t be alarmed I’m not here for your blood
I come in peace, and you don’t have enough for me
You’re always drumming up the corps
Just when you’ve got me in the door
Don’t be alarmed now
Don’t just shut down
This is not war
Yeah, we’ve seen some
Yeah, we’ve lost some
That’s just what fighting’s for
I am still stung by thoughts that I’ve abandoned
I think that I’ve evolved but nothing’s really happened
Every person is a lie
that keeps them burning up inside
Don’t be alarmed now
Don’t just shut down
This is not war
Yeah, we’ve seen some
Yeah, we’ve lost some
That’s just what fighting’s for
Don’t be alarmed now
Don’t just shut down
This is not war
Don’t try to fight it
Don’t try to hide it
That’s just what fighting’s for

I'm Your Man
03:16
|
|||
I was trying to tell you
that I think you’re right
There are wolves in these woods
They’ll prey on you at night
Don’t take it from me, girl
You know I’m just your man
and I do the best I can
Yeah, I do the best I can
Hiding in the shadows
where you keep yourself
Waiting for the daylight
till we put this thing to bed
But it rattles around your head
and it fills your heart with dread
Don’t take it from me, girl
You know I’m just your man
and I do the best I can
Yeah, I do the best I can
Don’t take it from me, girl
You know I’m just your man
and I do the best I can
Yeah, I do the best I can

Change of Mind
03:52
|
|||
You don’t write the news
It sort of comes and finds you
Never is the thing you choose
at a time that’s bad for surprises
You can change your mind
It’s alright you’ve got a right to
and I won’t take my time
I know just where I can find you
Hits you from the blind side
still trying to see eye to eye
maybe it’s a lost cause
owing to your attitude
You can change your mind
It’s alright you’ve got a right to
and I won’t take my time
I know just where I can find you
So what now
It’s all shutdown
Everyone’s on lockdown
Can’t make a sound
in this town
Everyone’s on lockdown
You can change you’re mind
It’s alright you’ve got a right to
and I won’t waste your time
it’s alright cause I’ve got mine to

Profits & Loss
04:12
|
|||
You’ve got to rewind
got from the start
now move it along
or people move on
Don’t go padding your speech
you’ve got something to say
Don’t lose eye contact
by looking away
Don’t play the lead
but don’t step out of frame
Make friends with handshakes
and remembering names
Keep your word
and show up on time
and remember every line
and the spaces that fall between
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
Don’t go spinning your wheels
or wasting your time
I’m in the past
and you're fresh on the vine
Keep your word
and show up on time
and remember every line
and the spaces that fall between
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
You never know

Comment allez-vous
What is wrong with you
You’ve read to much Sartre
to be so dark
If it’s all meaningless
why does it hurt so much
You’ve got to shed some skin
you want to feel my touch
You look at me that way
you're gonna make me blush
So you're giving in to the modern age
What’s it given back to you
Go on and sign all of your rights away
if it works for you
Je vais bien
at least I think I am
I work so hard
but it always ends
I’ve got no real belief
except the good of man
It’s gonna all work out
about the best it can
So you're giving in to the modern age
What’s it given back to you
Go on and sign all of your rights away
if it works for you

Passengers
04:19
|
|||
Maybe you could show the way
or help me carry the weight
You know, you’ve got a real kind face
the type invites a strangers question
If we hurry we won’t be late
What’s the hurry anyway
Maybe in a thousand years
I might begin to know you
We are just passengers
We are just passengers
Maybe you could stay with me
until we have to say goodbye
I won’t even make a sound
I don’t want to get in your way
We are just passengers
We are just passengers
We are just passengers
We are just passengers
