Gotta water-colored memory when I first laid eyes on you Standing outside of the movies with a friend on either side of you Shining brighter than the marquee above you Walking down different roads, paths cross now and then Strangers at the surface, but ones promised from within Tell me, when do these roads meet again Feels like something fine was left behind and maybe it wasn't supposed to be that way Well the time wasn't right but time has gone and found itself another day Well you lived alone with me, I lived alone with you Neither one of us could figure out what we were supposed to do It was love without a clue and nothing we could do Feels like something fine was left behind and maybe it wasn't supposed to be that way Well the time wasn't right but time has gone and found itself another day How can we see love so much clearer so far away, this far-sighted heart reminds me every day Baby, baby let your heart paint you the picture that your eyes can't see A portrait of the love that's always been between you and me Next time you want to ramble, ramble on over to me Girl this bee is buzzing for that honey dripping from your tree It tastes so sweet to me, you know what I mean Feels like something fine was left behind and maybe it wasn't supposed to be that way Well the time wasn't right but time has gone and found itself another day Another day Another day

Juxtapose 03:33
Do you think we made a mistake leaving clues all over the place I filled up the tank in the car but still we didn't get very far You disappeared without a trace and left me here to fall from grace I didn't want it to be true so I never went looking for you This should feel wrong to me good things shouldn't come for free Still this thrill inside of me grows my life's a contradicting juxtapose You made me think that you would come through but I never should have listened to you You see I could have climbed to higher ground instead of trying not to be found This should feel wrong to me good things shouldn't come for free Still this thrill inside of me grows my life's a contradicting juxtapose It's strange to be so good at something not so very good it's the only thing I know how to be I don't care to try and hide I don't want to stop this ride even though I know I can't be free I tore up the letters you wrote and fed them to a hungry goat It doesn't matter what you tried to say you never should have left me that way This should feel wrong to me good things shouldn't come for free Still this thrill inside of me grows my life's a contradicting juxtapose My life's a contradicting juxtapose My life's a contradicting juxtapose

Live Today 04:17
So you think you're not being noticed unlike your heroes who everybody pays attention to But don't compare yourself to your heroes, just always try and stay true cause your somebody's hero too Whatcha think you're looking for, when everything you need is at your door Living in a moving shadow keeps the sunshine away when you follow it around everyday Don't worry about what surrounds you and go your own way Cause life is yours to live today Jayden wants to live the good life, he's got some real nice things but he lives beyond his means He's trying to build his something from nothing, but charm is his only tool and it takes more than just being cool, so tell me Whatcha think he's looking for, when everything he needs is at his door Living in a moving shadow keeps the sunshine away when you follow it around everyday Don't worry about what surrounds you and go your own way It's time to go out and play, Cause life is yours to live today Rainey's got some fancy diplomas, showing offer her name inside of some fancy frames She hopes her status will bring her love, but behind those frames on the wall, love will never find her at all, so tell me Whatcha think she's looking for, when everything she needs is at her door, somebody tell me What are we looking for, when everything we need is at our door, yeah yeah It's time to go out and play, and life is ours to live today

He got himself in too deep looking out for number one Now it feels like everything has come undone We thought this was impossible, even he was planning to lose We missed the signs and were blinded from the clues The facts are hard to see from where you're standing His message makes you think you finally found your champion But you know deep down that he is not your man So let's put it back together while we still can Con man is short for confidence man and confidence will make you believe But confidence and competence are different things The Diddler plants one kind of seed to harvest his personal gain A crop he fertilized by bearing rein The facts are hard to see from where you're standing His message makes you think you finally found your champion But you know deep down that he is not your man So let's put it back together while we still can Jibes from our tribes don't describe all the many crossroads silencing collective harmony Hate will never win so let's change before love goes we could federate tribes I'm begging please The facts are hard to see from where you're standing His message makes you think you finally found your champion But you know deep down that he is not your man So let's put it back together while we still can Let's put it back together while we still can Let's put it back together while we still can

If I had money to burn I'd buy you nice things satin and lace and all of those beautiful things A long red dress fit for my queen and those dangly platinum princess-cut diamond earrings I'd wine you and dine you and buy you everything Feed you champagne in the back of our limousine Well honey you know I'm broke I ain't got a dime but But I can promise you love if you promise you'll always be mine We could be wild or we could just settle down Makes no difference to me just as long as you'll be around So trace out the constellations in the starry sky And I'll keep you warm in my arms right by your side I'd buy you those stars with some moonbeams on the side Aquarius, Virgo, and even Gemini Although I can't turn water into wine I can promise you love if you promise you'll always be mine I'd wine you and dine you and buy you everything Feed you champagne in the back of our limousine But honey you know I'm broke I ain't got a dime I'll promise you love if you promise you'll always be mine I'll promise you love if you promise you'll always be mine I'll promise you love if you promise you'll always be mine

Ricochet 03:19
I hear it everyday no peace of mind Lord please take me away so I can leave it behind It is not fair to ask you to bear this load I hold inside I should have said where this could lead, a chance to change your mind Can't you see it's time to go, not even time for one more show We'll be better off this way Hurt will ricochet off time, evaporate in the warm sunshine Make sure they all understand nobody's fault but mine My love will be ever present look for the signs Can't you see it's time to go, not even time for one more show We'll be better off this way Hurt will ricochet off time, evaporate in the warm sunshine Darkness falling down on me with terminal velocity Pain so deep it's blinding it's confining me from finding My way out from these shadows, only inward-pointed arrows All roads lead to this Can't you see it's time to go, not even time for one more show We'll be better off this way Hurt will ricochet off time, evaporate in the warm sunshine Can't you see I gotta go, not even time for one more show You'll be better off this way Hurt will ricochet off time, evaporate in the warm sunshine

Hurt People 04:00
I don't know why you bother to try and make a fool of me You can make your point with kindness positivity will help me see I'm tripping over painful comments that you dropped on the floor I watch my step so I don't make you want to drop some more Why do you always take it out on me whenever your sky turns grey I want you to be happy every step of the way I'll help you if you let me please Since only hurt people hurt people let's heal your hurt today Remember who you're calling when you're ready to show your hand You don't have to hurt me just to make me understand I want you to know that I'm truly here for you So if taking punches helps you than I guess that's what I'm gonna do Why do you always take it out on me whenever your sky turns grey I want you to be happy every step of the way I'll help you if you let me please Since only hurt people hurt people let's heal your hurt today It's hard to breathe I can already see my patience has gone underground Why can't I control it inside this feeling is pulling me down Why do you always take it out on me whenever your sky turns grey I want you to be happy every step of the way I'll help you if you let me please Since only hurt people hurt people let's heal your hurt today Heal your hurt today Heal your hurt today Heal your hurt today

Not One More 03:31
Can't believe I have to say I lost my friends yesterday This is not fair and it shouldn't have to be this way Please don't send me more of your prayers, they're not enough to dry these tears It's up to you to pray for help or walk in his shoes We'll stand up and show you what we're fighting for We won't stop until there is not one more Why did you choose to ignore? you should have done so much more You know that this shouldn't have to fall on me Since you won't change the rules I'm still afraid to go to school I thought that you would raise your hand to protect me We'll stand up and show you what we're fighting for We won't stop until there is not one more Why should we have to be leaders of this revolution We will sacrifice and keep the fight until the fear is gone, gone away So now your time has come, your days in control are done Get out of the way, The time has come to turn the page We'll stand up and show you what we're fighting for We won't stop until there is not one more We won't stop until there is not one more We won't stop until there is not one more

25 03:38
The first time I saw you familiarity came through I finally found that which I never was looking for When you walked into that room I could not take my eyes off you I tried to pretend I was looking at the floor Life began when I was 25 The first time that you looked me in the eye Normally I stayed cool, but with you I act a fool When you walked towards me my mind melted away My body clock suddenly tocked it said tick-tock it's time to walk I had to go find something charming I could say Life began when I was 25 The first time that you looked me in the eye I was so afraid you would never know my name, just another face in the hall Then I noticed you were trying to look my way, soon we would be best of friends Yeah Yeah Now we're old and blue, but with you I'm still that fool Some things changed but most things stayed the same The feeling you give me is the air that I must breath So in love with you I'll always be Life began when I was 25 The first time that you looked me in the eye Life began when I was 25 The first time that you looked me in the eye

Vacancy 04:23
Hello my lady I hear you calling my heart is longing for you If I close my eyes I can see the last moment I spent with you You wore blue jeans and your short sleeves had laces, looked like an angel from above With your hair let down flowing all around your shoulders I heard your heartbeat too Well I just don't see why you were taken away from me, whatever happened to forever Somebody tell me why I couldn't even say goodbye that word can be so painfully clear By acknowledging you're no longer here Why did you leave me alone in a cold that left me chilled to the bone Now I face a life unknown tell me why did you leave me alone Well I just don't see why you were taken away from me, whatever happened to forever Somebody tell me why I couldn't even say goodbye that word can be so painfully clear By acknowledging you're no longer here So goodbye my lady but not forever cause I could never forget you The only key to the vacancy in my heart belongs to you The only key to the vacancy in my heart belongs to you
