I think I lost my sense of direction Perhaps I had no sense at all Seeking out a resurrection After breaking my own fall Fumbled through the fog and furry Crippled thoughts without a cane I have a darkened predilection To tear down all that I have gained And I'm not here to pass the blame I'm not here to share the shame I'm just looking for an answer That will wash away the pain We entered with our best intention Feeling strong and ten feet tall Against all odds but no one mentioned The fears and tears and castle walls The fears and tears and castle walls But I'm not here to pass the blame I'm not here to share the shame I'm just looking for an answer That will wash away the pain Faults and flaws burned through connection How we stumbled through the Fall Cut wide open; no protection Who will make the final call Who will make the final call

I woke up early this morning With some thoughts about us Brewed my coffee then picked up the phone to call Will our heartbreaks from the past Inform new love a bond to last Forge ahead the path unknown I don't want to walk alone Take my hand let's do this right Follow dreams into the night Fractured souls on shaky ground Puzzled pieces finally found Finally Found Never thought that I would miss Someone when I'm on the road But with you it feels so different in every way Will our heartbreaks from the past Inform new love a bond to last Forge ahead the path unknown I don't want to walk alone Take my hand let's do this right Follow dreams into the night Fractured souls on shaky ground Puzzled pieces finally found Finally Found

It's all in your head At least in my mind The things that we said Won't matter in time My need to be right Always turns out so wrong And this sleepless night Has gone on for too long I want to live better I want to stand tall I will love you forever But now it's your call It's your call My blood's running thick My thoughts move so slow I don't mean to pick On the ways that you know I want to live better I want to stand tall I will love you forever But now it's your call It's your call Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Love Again 03:01
Stayed up all night So much to think about I'm filled with doubt That we will make it out The wave so wide That the tide Is pulling us under The black and white Of all our pointless fights We're losing our color So can we Love again Make amends Why does it have to be like this Love again Remember when We raised our glasses not our fists Love again Love again Just love again Opinions blasting off like fireworks Explosive tempers causing so much hurt The wave so wide That the tide Is pulling us under The black and white Of all our pointless fights We're losing our color So can we Love again Make amends Why does it have to be like this Love again Remember when We raised our glasses not our fists Love again Love again Just love again It's been a long day Can we just move on The sun will rise soon A new day in the dawn So can we Love again Make amends It doesn't have to be like this Love again I love it when We raise our glasses not our fists Love again Love again Just love again

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mad season of panic Revealed our heartache Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late Mad season of panic Exposed our mistakes Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late Maybe it's too late A flap of the wings landed In the right place Set chaos in motion Without a damn trace Dug deep in the dirt And uncovered frail bones The devil's got my leg He won't leave me alone Mad season of panic Revealed our heartache Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late Mad season of panic Exposed our mistakes Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late Maybe it's too late Mmmmm Mmmmm A crack in the foundation In the wrong place Cut down through the bones No promise of grace Call all my best angels To find my way home The devil's on my back He won't leave me alone Mad season of panic Revealed our heartache Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late Mad season of panic Exposed our mistakes Takes time to heal wounds Maybe it's too late It ain't ever too late Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

It was just a game to play You don't even know your part Searching for lost friends and enemies Past lovers and new fantasies He would've been 75 today To me he's just a stranger I cried anyway Cause Jenny lost her father It was just a game to play You don't even know your part Searching for lost friends and enemies Past lovers and new fantasies When we were young we barely talked Bitter and filled with so much anger A little older now grown up We meet for fancy dinners It was just a game to play You don't even know your part Searching for lost friends and enemies Past lovers and new fantasies And I don't need your Ginsu Knives And I don't want to win your prize I just want I just want I just want To play a game I thought I still don't know my part Searching for lost friends and enemies It was just a game to play You don't even know your part Searching for lost friends and enemies Past lovers and new fantasies Past lovers and new fantasies Past lovers and new fantasies

Best We Can 03:06
Little Sarah is a friend of mine I love her curly black hair and big blue eyes That try to hide the way she feels Lost her job with bills to pay Two kids to raise so much at stake Now bad dreams are all too real She's doing the best she can She's doing the best she can She's doing the best she can Pinned up smile only works for awhile It get you through the day You say you're okay But I can see the scars you hide I know you'll be fine I'm here to hear what's on your mind And I'll be right by your side You're doing the best you can You're doing the best you can Doing the best you can We're doing the best we can We're doing the best we can Doing the best we can We all know We all have seen In this world sometimes It's hard to be We're doing the best we can We're doing the best we can Doing the best we can We're doing the best we can We're doing the best we can Doing the best we can We're all doing the best we can We're all doing the best we can Yeah

Electric love Coursing through my veins A tiny spark Jump start my heart I'm racing for you Hey, I'm on my way I told you I would call And I know you always hate when I'm late What do you say We can kick it in to overdrive You DJ from the passenger seat Electric love Coursing through my veins A tiny spark Jump start my heart I'm racing for you Electric love Coursing through my veins A tiny spark Jump start my heart I'm racing for you Now, we're on our way It don't matter where we're going Cause I got you riding shotgun with me Let's stay out late We can use the stars to guide us And sing until our troubles fade away Electric love Coursing through my veins A tiny spark Jump start my heart I'm racing for you Electric love Coursing through my veins A tiny spark Jump start my heart Jump start my heart Jump start my heart I'm racing for you

My hands were shaking Standing off to the side The stage was spinning And I wanted to lie My way Out of it I was out of it They already love you Don't you know Just take it slow They already love you There's no wrong So come on Let's go Enjoy the show My lungs began to cave in As my mouth went dry My brain was pacing This was not a good time To fight My way out of it I wanted out of it They already love you Don't you know Just take it slow They already love you There's no wrong So come on Let's go Enjoy the show When it was over She was more than right It felt like flying Had the time of my life Everything was fine I was more than fine They already love you Don't you know Just take it slow They already love you There's no wrong So come on Let's go Enjoy the show Enjoy the show Enjoy the show
