All I Need To Know 04:52

Under the light of a cigarette, you lose all sense of your etiquette You’re acting wild, playing like a child All tough and loud but without a sound Calling everybody names, asked for help but nobody came You’re black and green, somewhere in between A hard place and a rock With the clock ticking away, you’re time is drifting by I can see a timid truth, in the teardrop in your eye Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Now’s not the time to play nice No teriyaki chicken no sushi rice Eat what you can straight out of the can Cos you won’t have long to sing your song Keep your finger-tapping light Or you’ll wake the neighbors in the dead of night The city lights are as cold as ice No mercy or sympathy Something’s lurking in the shadows, away from prying eyes Though I see it peeking through, come and see me in the light Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn’t All the times you thought you couldn’t Now you’d tell me but you wouldn’t Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won’t rest a day until you tell me All I need to know There’s no telling what will be till I know All I need to know

Table For One 04:16

All is well, that's ending well Another coin in the wishing well Everybody's wearing silver bells But I'm fine with my cow, bell Singing duets, all by myself Picking records up off the shelf Karaoke night's for someone else Cos I'm staying put, right here, unless Someone comes along, and sweeps me off, my feet Wishing for luck until my luck runs out Until the stars align and say what's a happening Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off Star-crossed lovers wish on shooting stars Dream of adventure, near and far And here I am, safe within my room Either counting blessings or counting sheep I don't need no helping hand, I've got myself to myself And if you're looking for a place to hide, better stay outside Ain't got no room for the likes of you Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off Someone might come along, and sweep me off my feet Wishing for luck until my luck runs out Until the stars align and say what's a happening, and watch me sitting at my Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off

It's Not You, It's Not Me 04:43

You know that I am alive, but broken in two Hanging around with nothing better to do Holding on just by a thread, trading a bottle for a glass instead I’m trying to take it in stride, whatever it may be Looking for something I’m too stupid to see Doesn’t have to be this hard, to reclaim a misguided heart Maybe time, time breaks you the hardest So I’ll finish what I started Wasting my hours, looking for reasons, looking for rhymes It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but can make for free It’s been a good long while, and I’m back on my feet Tapping my steps to a different beat Seasons come and seasons go, nothing’s for certain, that much I do know Feels like something’s changed, for better or worse A new sign to show me anything goes Take a breath and let it out, there’s a sun behind the clouds Looking out, I see a new day approaching, no reason not to fit in Make a new plan, give it another go, and give it all you can It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but can make for free if you wanna make you better Be it a book or just a letter Just don’t care, looking for a reason when it isn’t there Step by step, one at a time, life’ll show you how to make it right It doesn’t have to be this hard, wasting time Looking for reasons, looking for rhymes It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to be Know that happiness is not for you to take, but something made for free instead It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but something made for free instead It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me...

The lights don’t reach there alone, If the guide is absent or can’t reach the phone Or the security guard is asleep on the job If he had a bad night’s rest; corn on the cob It’s not a splendid sight To walk it alone in the middle of the night Without a hand to hold onto If you plan a visit, be two I’ll keep falling like an echo to climb The highest cliffs like churches chime I’ll keep searching for the river’s sky I don’t know why, do I really have a chance to Find an alley with a reindeer Alone and lost without a keeper Falling through a crack in the sky Til I’m crawling home and dry Take a sugar with two milk If it makes you feel like a dirty silk Listen to your living room sing out The secrets and the lies you keep out The snake would eat a snake If it appetized on a well-done steak Before it left for work that day And fell asleep on the job I’ll keep falling like an echo to climb The highest cliffs like churches chime I’ll keep searching for the river’s sky I don’t know why, do I really have a chance to Find an alley with a reindeer Alone and lost without a keeper Falling through a crack in the sky Til I’m crawling home and dry I’ll keep falling like an echo to climb The highest cliffs like churches chime I’ll keep searching for the river’s sky I don’t know why, do I really have a chance to Find an alley with a reindeer Alone and lost without a keeper Falling through a crack in the sky Til I’m crawling home and dry

Falling in a burning book of pasts long passed Taken away from the lonely hearts holding tight to their right Why the people fear the ghosts misunderstood In our concrete jungle world, there’s no place for the skewed Keeping you in line, hungry all the time Devil’s in the details, devil’s in the rhyme We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score All according to their plan Everything you want, everything you are Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind Anything you do, will come for you When lights don’t shine where you want them to Take away the need to say what’s on your mind It can bring you peace if only for a little while Stories of unwritten truths find eyes beguiled It is only a matter of time before they’re let loose to run wild Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh Remove the troublesome whatevers in your head It’s a matter of time before words are a crime In a world strictly sublime Anything you want, anything you do Is all nicely designed and given to you Don’t cross the line, and you’ll be fine But where they draw the line all depends on you Take a number, take a seat, take a break from the heat And enjoy their ploy to enamor you Look at all their pretty lights, freedom in sight Awaiting you to set it free Keeping you in line, hungry all the time The meat’s still on the bone, you’re not eating it alone We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score All according to their plan Everything you want, everything you are Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind Anything you do, will come for you When lights don’t shine where you want them to Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh Take away those thoughts living in your head It’s a matter of time before words are crime In a world with a painted on smile In a world where darkness never shines In a world strictly sublime

(You Might Call It) Sailing 04:41
lyrics

It’s alright, it’s okay, that’s what they always say, come what may But are they just some words to keep you satisfied? Little white lies to keep your dreams alive? There's a truth, to the words of kindness coming your way, don’t send them away If you hear them, know there's someone there to lean on If you hear them, know there's something you gotta work on Don’t cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way To see where you're going, who you’ll be You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Stormy days, stormy nights, don’t let your roof cave in, don’t let it sink in You gotta take your tools and make yourself a hammer Show the fools your day’s before-and-after Don’t cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way To see where you're going, who you’ll be You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Don’t cast aside the tide, it’s there to help you survive You’ll find a new way of life, I think that you might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Get your pain and take it back to sender

Digging deep where the sun don’t sleep There’s a meaning you wanna keep It’s a thing for you and only you Ain’t nobody can take it away There’s a light you forge when the world’s asleep There’s a sow you gotta reap So when the darkness comes around You can light and fight your way In a stubborn stand, you stay Be a shelter to their rain Listen to the sound of the falling reign Gotta hold your head up high Be careful not to drown There’s a few who depend on you Guide them to their promised land Where their dreams come alive There ain’t no book or holy guide, you’re taking life for a ride You don’t need to know where you’ll go, just hold on to your hope When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun Riding high, flying like a kite All bruised and broken down There’s a refuge coming into sight Where you can figure out Where you’re going and where you’ve been Survival ain’t a sin Some don’t make it out alive Believe you will survive There ain’t no book or holy guide, you’re taking life for a ride You don’t need to know where you’ll go, just hold on to your hope When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun When the night, comes down on your darkest dreams You can fight for your life but there’s no guarantee When the night, takes hold and it won’t let go You can win or lose but don’t take it as a “no” Don’t run or hide from the falling sun, it hasn’t yet begun Don’t hide your life from the spinning world, cos they’re waiting for you
