On The Run 03:56
I hear your voice these half shadowed days Takes me back when I had nothing to say Stretch my legs put on my walking shoes I paid the piper I've paid my dues (chorus) I circle round the sun trying to get things done My restless soul yearns to be on the road On the run Time to look around grab what I need Friends tell me to close my eyes so I can see Read the paper almost every day Don't much like what is has to say Stand there looking into your eyes You make me laugh and you make me cry Baby you know I'm in love with you Ain't no time to paint my life blue Fell mush better bout things these days Left behind all the funky haze Walked outside into my big backyard Found that life's not quite so hard

Take down the mirrors from your wall there is no reflection Go down that one way street so you know your direction Pick up what respect you have as you go along your way There was plenty of time in your past to keep it all at bay (chorus) I won't talk about you when your looking down I would never pass those word around Pass those words around Girl you gotta always keep your head up high Don't think all your friends are gonna help you to fly There's no one behind you to push you along You are responsible for all that's right and wrong Life isn't meant to be a place of past regret We gotta always hope we're gonna win that bet Tell me what you think about this solitary world As you grab hold of your life and give it a twirl

Wouldn't it be nice if life could be happily ever after All your dreams hanging from the clouds Holding on to all the love and laughter You can shed that temporary shroud All you ever wanted was to wake up with a smile All you ever wanted was to hang on for awhile Out of control the sadness fills you up inside Looking for that single ray of light You know you can handle it but you won't be denied The chance to have her in your sight All you ever wanted was a chance to put up a fight All you ever wanted was to know it's gonna be alright It's not too much to ask But I'm not coming back again I didn't make it up Feeling kind of in-between Life is upside down Scattered disappear Life is upside down Scattered disappear It's stupid crazy totally unfair But, you know you can't control It's not ,it's not that you don't care I just really miss her soul All you ever wanted was to wake up with a smile All you ever wanted was to hold on for awhile Life is upside down scattered disappear Life is upside down scattered disappear

I'm sitting in the center looking at the winter of my discontent Spent all my money wondering where my baby went My life's on lock down nothing comin in or out Feeling like a boxer just lost another bout Archangel Archangel won't you set me free Climbing down took longer than I thought I got stuck here on the second floor And the elevator stopped Same ol mundane world facing me every day Ride around the city keep the coyotes at bay The skies a little darker than it was the other night I wonder I wonder if the stars turned out their lights Sitting on the Square same ol politics Be careful of your words they'll be thrown to the fire I hear the weeping of the crying birds It's something that they heard on the telephone wire Yes, I'm sitting in the center looking at the winter of my discontent Spent all my money wondering where my baby went My life's on lock down nothing comin in or out Feeling like a boxer just lost another bout Shirts and pants and shoes that dance You should take a chance Step outside the lines Late nights and motorbikes These are things I like Running through my mind Archangel Archangel won't you set me free Climbing down took longer than I thought I got stuck here on the second floor And the elevator stopped

Just another passing phase Reaching out for you somewhere In the absence of these lazy days There is so much I can bare Tell me tell me there is more Than the closing of the door Little bits and pieces borrowed Through fingers like grains of sand All my life I have followed I know this is not the end I'll come walking back to you Tell me what you'll do Is this what you really wanted Is this what you really need Is this what you really wanted I'll be waiting I'll be waiting If I knew it would be like this Waiting for those simple words I would have taken one more kiss From the words I never heard Won't you look into my eyes And never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Tell me what you'll do

I Would Go 04:28
I remember when I was a younger man I heard my own heartbeat My mind was spinning as I ran Down that lonesome street My better days are up ahead I count them every day Your smile looks like a book I read Early month of May I would go I would go I would where you wait for me This is my life I must admit Thought boring it can be This is my life I must admit It's the only one for me Passing time and standing still Feel that cold north wind Holding you next to me We always will be friends I would go I would go I would where you wait for me Early moon through a white laced curtain Cup of coffee in my hand Some things you know for certain Some things ad already planned I would go I would go I would where you wait for me I would go I would go I would where you wait for me

Standing on the corner street light shining down Hope you're looking for what I've already found You're a heartbeat away from my memory Tell me you'll let your love set me free All you really gotta do It's so simple but it's true It can only come from you Tell me that you love me too Clouds in the sky seem to disappear When on the phone your voice I hear I feel like I'm walking on the stars When I hear your voice coming from a far All you really gotta do It's so simple but it's true It can only come from you Tell me that you love me too Tell me you have found a way To let go of the words you need to say I'll be your friend till the end of time Keep on looking babe its not that hard to find All you really gotta do It's so simple but it's true It can only come from you Tell me that you love me too
