Soul Thief 03:07
Now you’re deceiving smile hides behind The silver lining that lines your eyes I know all your tricks, and I’ve heard all your lies But I’ll still be outside…singing…. Could you give me somewhere to lay my head down Give me something I cant live without Like a little piece of heaven in an ordinary world Stealing my soul girl…. Smile on now girl This is you, this is your world I promise I’d never tell you a lie But you wouldn’t give me a try Now this is all your fault For putting up these here prison walls And I promised I’d never take you for a ride But you wouldn’t give me a try…

Away 04:18
Looks like I'm at it again And I can't remember how this started It's been three years since I've seen your face Not something I could easily erase It's raining again this morning My mind shares in the feeling Probably won't do much with today My soul's asleep anyway Can't say that I'm surprised I'll do this every time Give me just enough rope and I will drive you away I know this may reach you too late And I know you owe nothing to me I would take back so many things if I could Put you right next to me But at the risk of making the same mistake again I think I'm gonna go back to sleep instead And let you drive away Got to get out from this weight I am under Cancel the plans that I have for the summer Drive all night stand outside your place Maybe one more time I could see your face Can't say I didn't try Gonna change it up this time Give you just enough rope Let you drive me away

Not as Far 04:41
I will stand atop everything that is mine All that's around, beneath and inside I'll show courage when I feel weak I will listen much more than I speak I will accept the good Show more patience than I usually would Sure as we'll someday grow old I will fight for the ground that I hold No one said it would be easy With everyday its a little less hard Stay pointed to where I am going With everyday its not as far Every chance I get, I'll try to express Give thanks for how much I've been blessed Sure to take pride in all I do Be someone my people can bare witness to I'm not trying to preach or impose I'm a work in progress and so it goes And sure as the next day will come I'll work til my work is done I will shake this hurried notion That the best is yet to come I will stumble here and there The straight and narrow, easier said than done.

Here we go for the hundredth time You've got your reasons and I've got mine Let's not talk this over I know all the words that you're gonna say "why you always gotta act this way?" Let's just call this over You think that it's all my fault What does that matter now? Excuse me, but its time I go But first I want to let you know That baby I'm sorry Don't you think its plain to see, you don't want to be with me at all Maybe you're sorry This time there'll be no next time to say 'baby I'm sorry' Here we go just one last time And I know that you'll be just fine Let's not talk this over You're gonna be who you're gonna be And find someone a little less like me Good luck with another 'Cuz I know this can't be my fault We were in this together Excuse me, but it's time I go But first I want to let you know That, baby I'm sorry Don't you think its plain to see That you don't want to be with me at all Maybe you're sorry This time there'll be no next time This time there is no next time to say 'baby, I'm sorry'

Back Again 04:17
You can lead me Down to the water But you can't make me swim You can lead me To the middle of nowhere But be sure, I'll find my way back again Back again Ask me, any little question I'll try to give you the answers you need Tell me, anything little you want to And trust me, to never tell anyone No, I won't tell anyone I'm tellin' you now please Hope you understand You can take my heart but You got to leave my hand Don't blame me Like some kinda fool Don't think you're gonna break me Like some old wooden stool 'Cuz I'm solid like a stone So don't try to roll me Just ask me And I will go anywhere I'm tellin' you now please Hope you understand You can take my heart but You got to leave my hand

Slow Down 04:35
A little bit further, we're almost there Hope you get your second wind There may not be an ounce of sleep tonight Wouldn't sleeping be a waste of time 'Cuz it's better to just be here and we're taking it in May there never be another moment wasted on the trouble I'm in Slow down just a bit there You'll miss the best part Don't know what day it is nor do I care Before the day comes around you have to slow down And if I close my eyes could I freeze myself in time And stay here forever You know that I would do anything you tell me to If I could feel this way forever I'm better when you are here, better within Take the strength you have when I am near And when the world seems too much Remember to... Slow down just a bit there You might miss the best part Don't know what day it is nor do I care Before the day come around you have to slow down We don't listen cuz we're gonna do it our way I hold you, you hold me and we'll be okay Gonna stay close to every breath that you take Everything is okay, together we'll be okay A little bit further, we're almost there This is your second wind Hope you never forget a thing about tonight Until you see me again Although it's better when you are here and we're taking it in Keep myself busy and wait it out Until we do this all over again

Gone 03:29
Won't be long before the sky gives way And the world comes alive again I been awake all night, Praying I don't mess this up and then I brush if off, Cant think too much I'm outta here by noon today. So I get my stuff, I don't bring too much, I wont need it anyway. Here goes nothing, I'll leave my keys by the door. I'm settled on something, Worth leaving for. Just my reflection, On an empty floor. And then once more, I'm gone. You called me but a few months later Said 'man its not like it used to be" People are comin' up to you Askin' what did ever come of me Well my friend, This is not the end. And I'm sorry that you feel that way. Some time from now, We will meet again. But you knew I wouldn't stay. (CHORUS) Wont be long before the sky gives way And the world comes alive again. Cant remember feeling this at home, At home since God's knows when. Well my friend, Its like I said, I'm sorry that you feel that way. Some time from now, We'll meet again. But this is where I'm gonna stay.

I Believe (free) 05:03
I believe I could be Better than I used to be Until then I just wont stop Eventually you will see I don't give up so easily Easy does it now Times come I take a vow To the end, I will hold true Provided, I've been here before And lied 'cuz this same oath I swore But man, I'm just a man, just like you. Don't you see I've recognized the error of my ways I've apologized for everything Now I've taken advantage and I've taken for granted But some truths I still work to hide Thought I know the evidence Will show I've left my finger prints When ignorance and innocence collide Don't you see I've recognized the error of my ways Its too late to apologize for everything but... I believe I can be, better than I used to be Until then I just wont stop Eventually you will see, I won't give up so easily I believe. You see I carry the weight upon my back on my mistakes Sometimes I struggle just to learn to let 'em go To know whats done is done, but I can change what is to come If I believe in me enough to make it so I know that the road to redemption is never an easy one I know I will make it, just as long as... Its hard to know if our control is gone 'Cuz I've been watching everything going on I've been just staring at the paper thinking all this is wrong It's hard to tell if its too late for a change I've been around enough to know what I'm sayin' I've seen it go from black to white And still its always the same Maybe we can change...

Help 04:35
Help, I need someone to pull me down Help, I'm hanging from a chance Help, but no please don't help This time I wanna drop myself I'll crash, I'll burn out If I have to. Cuz when the sun is setting on Everything you counted on What do you do now? Reality creepin' through Rising up inside of you Realize that you can help yourself. Help, I need someone to pull me through Help, I'm stuck between the old and nothing new Help, no please don't help I'm doing fine by myself I will crash and burn out If I have to Cuz when the sun is setting on Everything you counted on What do you do now? Reality creepin' through Rising up inside of you Realize that you can help yourself

Found Out 03:07
I admit that For a bit it got the best of me But now its just funny more than anything You won for a minute But that minute has passed It's so easy Can you see the smile on my face? I don't remember what I liked in the first place I can't help but bring it back to light You didn't think this would happen Hope its everything that you imagined People like you, they just never learn... Thought it wouldn't come around Thought I'd never find out 'Bout all the things you wish nobody knew about Thought it wouldn't come around Thought I'd never find out No matter what you come to be You'll know that you were found out I'll beat back the urges that go through my head Hold back when I think about what you said I won't give you that satisfaction I'll kick back, focus on the other things I gotta do When you're gone, everyone else will too Feels so good to bring it back to light Bet you didn't think this would happen Hope its everything that you imagined People like you, they just never learn Thought it wouldn't come around Thought I'd never find out 'Bout all the things you wish nobody knew about Thought it wouldn't come around Thought I'd never find out No matter what you come to be You'll know that you were found out I could just let it go Pretend like I didn't know But that would be no fun at all for me Now you see...

Faith But I'm not climbing that mountain Truth But I'm working around it Trust But I'm not thinkin' about it Love I been livin' without it You gimme faith that lovin' you Is all that I ever had to do Trust that when I'm not right there beside you You gave me truth that I could not find Showed me the world in a different light Opened my heart, and I wrap my love around you Faith Now I'm climbin' that mountain Truth I'm not speakin' without it Trust Start building around it Love Now I've finally found it You gimme faith that lovin' you Is all that I ever had to do Trust that when I'm not right there beside you You gave me truth that I could not find Showed me the world in a different light Opened my heart, and I wrap my love around you

Easier Way 03:32
A declaration A once unified nation Why's it always gotta be us against them? Desperation Down at the police station We got kids killin' cops And cops killin' kids right back So I say... There's got to be an easier way Tell me there's a better way Perscription Another high-class recreation Most of these people ain't seen a doctor in years Reputation Of my generation The people with the power don't think we know But we know... There's got to be an easier way Tell me there's a better way If we all start runnin' And we just do nothin' There'll never be an easier way Got to be an easier way Tell me there's a better way

Higher Love (free) 03:25
What if our lives had never crossed? What if our worlds came between us? Imagine the love that would have been lost If fate had not seen us. Do you believe, that ultimately Higher Love will find us wherever? That you and me, can together be Higher Love forever. Ours is a special situation One that left us no other option We're solid down to the foundation Never let anything stop us Oh I believe, that ultimately Higher Love that brought us together. That you and me, can together be Higher Love forever. Now that our lives, they have crossed Feels like the world is against us Through the troubled times I trust That fate will guide us.
