Stick It Out (You'll Be Okay) 04:56
lyrics
buy track
lyrics: you know, everyday I wake up and say "Is it okay?" To wonder why you know, every time I hear the chime, I feel sublime I'm alright Nothing comes out easy and nothing comes out right they say tomorrow is a long way away Stick it out, you'll be okay you know, I feel wise when I look in her eyes, time flies This feels right you know, I will run When it's begun, there's no more fun Catch me if you can Nothing comes out easy and nothing comes out right they say tomorrow is just another day Stick it out, you'll be okay When you focus on the negative, and Drown out the positive, the world is a scary place I know it hurts, but you gotta get up on your feet again Just believe, it'll all work out you know, every way to make me pay, it's in your DNA, I should have known it - Guitar Solo - you know, I have the key You'll have to plea, but it's not free and it never will be. Nothing comes out easy and nothing comes out right they say tomorrow is a brand new day Stick it out, you'll be okay. x2

lyrics: You make me crazy You make me go insane I tried to make it better I tried to make it right Sometimes there’s a way out sometimes there’s a way back in Sometimes life can have another plan You make me crazy You make me go insane I’m tired of being lonely I’m tired of being sad A life without love Is a life not worth living Sometimes things can work out in the end. - Guitar Solo - You make me crazy You make me go insane You make me crazy You make me go insane

All These Years 06:28

lyrics: I was walking down the street today I thought I saw your face I thought about all the things you told me All the fancy stories that you once told to me Probably nothing more than stories You know, you are a bit like me Even though, you never could see All these years are catching up to you And all these times to open up your eyes There’s a lot more to see And there’s way more to be Cause you see what’s left of me After all these years I was listenin’ to the radio I thought heard your voice The voice of one I thought understood me Singing songs of hate and songs of sadness I wish I knew where it all went wrong You know, you are a lot like me Even though, you never will see All these years are catching up to you All these times to open up your eyes There’s a lot more to see And there’s way more to be Cause all you see is what’s wrong with me After all these years All you think about, is what you can’t have All you want from me, is what I can’t give to you All you talk about, is spreading hate for no reason When you play those games, I can’t find a reason why, a reason why I was walking down the street today I thought I saw your face I thought about how it all went down You know, you are nothing like me Even though, you never will be me All these years, are catching up to you All these times, to open up your eyes There’s a lot more to see And there’s way more to be Cause all you see, is negativity After all these years After all these years After all these years

lyrics: I don't need you anymore You were exactly what I took you for I can't find the words to say Everything is gonna be okay You took it wrong when I said you're right You made me wrong when I was right You laughed in my face cause you've seen the light You made me feel like I’d lost the fight You think you're better, obviously Roof over your head, and shoes on your feet You've got all the skills you ever could need You can't fix it all without doing a single thing You only made one mistake, oh what did you do? Do you even know what I'm getting to? Don't you say that I'm your friend Don't you act like nothing’s wrong You are the worst a man could be That's just something you'll never see That everything you've came to be Is as worthless as it seems I don't need you anymore You were exactly what I took you for I can't find the words to say That everything is gonna be okay You are the worst a man could be That's just something you'll never see That everything you've came to be Is as useless as it seems She don't need you anymore You were exactly what I took you for I can't find the words to say That everything is gonna be okay We don't need you anymore You were exactly what I took you for I can't find the words to say That everything is gonna be okay You are the worst a man could be That's just something you'll never see That everything you've came to be Is as worthless as it seems

lyrics: She’s on the first train out of Dallas Slicked back hair with a window seat She don’t know where she’s going Not looking back from where she came But she’s never, oh- she’s never coming back to you She’s on the first train out of New York Gettin’ tired of her busy life She don’t know where she’s going But she knows where she’s been. But she’s never, oh- she’s never coming back to you And she's always been there for you And she's always moving on And she always going nowhere On a train to nowhere But she’s never, oh- she’s never coming back to you But she’s never, oh- she’s never coming back to you But she’s never, oh- she’s never coming back to you

lyrics: I wanna know, why you feel this way I want you to make it clear, who's lost it all I need to know, what it takes to go What planet are you on, anymore You wanna know, what’s my problem You want me to tell a lie, you don’t know I’m true You want success, to be at your request What future do you see, for yourself I wanna know, why you’d threaten me Why’d ya need to call my ma, make yourself a misery You take precedence, like you’re some big event What kinda man are you, coming to be Words seem to be, thrown thoughtlessly You’re quick to judge, when you don’t know a thing You acting tough, coming at me Take a look at yourself, tell me what you see You never stopped to ask a question You never stopped to open your eyes Seems to me, you don’t get a thing You don’t understand, who I am Seems to me, you’re not easy to please It’s so worth it to be, who I am Seems to me, you don’t get a thing You don’t understand, who I am Seems to me, you’re not easy to please It’s so worth it to be, who I am

lyrics: I'm going down to the riverside Gonna see the bluebirds fly I'm going down to the riverside And if I die, please don't cry I'm going out to see the rain To see if I can feel the pain I'm going out to see the rain And when it's gone, maybe I'll go inside I'm walking through the trees today Looking through the sky's of gray I'm walking through the trees today And when it's clear, I could take you there Peering through the looking glass Everything that seems so vast Watching through the looking glass And if I know, I will tell you first -Resonator Slide Solo- I'm going back to one today So I can wash the pain away I'm going back to one today And if it hurts too much, I have to leave it there Some day I hope to see the light I hope, someday, I win the fight This day I hope to see the light And if it blinds, I want to know why All the lights went out today don't know I can find the way All the lights are out today And if you had a candle, I would light it for you - Electric Guitar Solo - I'm going down to the riverside Gonna see the bluebirds fly I'm going down to the riverside And if I die, please don't cry

Tired of It 03:00
lyrics

lyrics: I’ve got a story to tell, about a girl that I knew well It seems to me she had a lot to say About the life I was living, in my own very way She kissed like an angel but bit like the devil, and I’m tired of it She wore a long black dress to work everyday Her boss was a jerk, he liked to put her on display She was a secretary but he made her a bawd Somehow that was missed in one big facade I won’t be, just a pawn in his game, and I’m tired of it Our story ends but life keeps going The sun gets brighter and the grass keeps growing I guess I don’t have too much more to say Now we can all go our separate ways Don’t say goodbye, just leave, and I’m tired of it

lyrics: We meet eye to eye but I see right through you We talk heart to heart but you still can’t hear me We think a lot alike but you don’t have values We speak face to face and there’s nothing more to say You always have something to say You never see the good side You don’t have the right to say What’s wrong with my life Somehow, you hold your head high Higher than it has to be We meet eye to eye but I see right through you We talk heart to heart but you still can’t hear me We think a lot alike but you don’t have values We speak face to face and there’s nothing more to say With you, everything’s in a hurry There’s always somewhere else to be And you don’t have to change your mind That’s just not how I am I just choose to be what I want to see It’ll be alright in the end Somehow, someday, somewhere, someplace. Some high, some low, gotta take it all in real slow Oh your head games never end, and I don't want to play Cause you see I've had enough of you, but that's just how it goes We meet eye to eye but I see right through you We talk heart to heart but you still can’t hear me We think a lot alike but you don’t have values We speak face to face and there’s nothing more to say You think I’m out to get you, I know you’re wrong And you don’t have to say a thing, I’ve got you all figured out And you say “you’ll get it some day”, “you’re just a kid still, don’t forget it” I say, there’s always time to change your mind But I’ve got nothing left for you, don’t even waste my time We meet eye to eye but I see right through you We talk heart to heart but you still can’t hear me We think a lot alike but you don’t have values We speak face to face and there’s nothing more to say We meet eye to eye but I see right through you We talk heart to heart but you still can’t hear me We think a lot alike but you don’t have values We speak face to face and there’s nothing more to say

lyrics: There’s something down the hallway I can feel it staring at me The walls are getting closer I need to be free There was a girl crying to me She said ‘take me with you now’ I said ‘i can’t find a way out’ She said ‘there is something stopping me’ I see the writings on the wall Counting out the endless days You wish to see daylight We are stuck here for eternity Why did they send me here How do I get back I can't find the door Take me to the hospital I need to see a doctor My hearts about to give out I need to be on life support There was a fire in the hallway The cart was burnt to a crisp It had to be extinguished So I acted with hesitance There was a nurse at the reception She said "I’ll be with you in a moment" So I waited for the longest while The moment never came I took a look at the clock To see it melt off the wall I see colors in the distance Fading by the second Why did they send me here How do I get back I can't find the door Take me to the hospital I need to see a doctor My hearts about to give out I need to be on life support I was walking down the chamber I read the writing on the wall Whose in charge of this place I need to leave now All the doors were sealed shut The windows blacked out too You couldn’t see anything Except the flickering light down there Everybody else is gone I cry out to the silence I accept that i am stuck here Forever 'lone i shall be Why did they send me here How do I get back I can't find the door Take me to the hospital I need to see a doctor My hearts about to give out I need to be on life support Take me to the hospital I need to see a doctor My hearts about to give out I need to be on life support
