The Right Kind of Things

Across the lines of attraction
I see her in a northern light
She's a goddess of perfection
I'm just a peasant child
And a burning desire in my heart
Is all I'm feeling now
Cause she's been in my eye
Ever since I met her
I can't get her out

But it's just too hard to do the right kind of things
To win her over tonight
Cause she's just too far above my type
But I'm gonna try anyway

I was moving I got shut down
As bad as I could
But I was in need I didn't want to leave
Until I got what I was after
So I thought of some simple words
To scream at the top of my lungs
Down from my little corner
Up to her apartment

If I was king
She'd be my queen
And we'd live in a castle

Next to You

How wonderful it feels
To be in this world and be next to you
We made it through the tests
Of time and distance, loss of faith and the money blues
Lord knows we have paid some dues

I know we're going to make it
Just look at what we've survived
We keep pushing on til our prayers are answered
Just look how far we've come
Just look at where we are now

Life has been a mess
But we embrace it and make it better by far
Whatever path we're taking
We'll accept the worst and best of where it leads us
No matter where we end up

Blow up the love
Let your worries go
As long as we have each other
Everything will be right in the world

Don't Know Nothin'

We've got big hearts
Is it good enough
To take us up and through the stars above
So many questions
With no answers in a book
What is the secret?
Have you found a key to free my soul?
Our world's are different
But our faiths are strong

And this is what we are
We'll do what we can
To figure out this mess we're in
But all in all
We don't know nothin' at all

Are these battles in vain
To fight for truth that we can't explain
For the love of people that goes around?
I'd say the truth is believing
That beyond what we see is something more
Than what is what we already know

Hey man tell me what you know
I can't be sure I know no more
I'll listen up to anyone it's everyone I learn from
Cause I can't be sure what's out there
Anything could be happening
I try to keep it simple and
Live a life with love in my soul

Hallelujah, Amen

The Situation

I get myself in a bind
You help me out every time
I wish I knew how to repay you
Cause you always lend a hand
Even when they both are filled
And you always are the friend
Who would never put yourself first

Now you're the one you should think about
You're the one you should think about now
You're the one you should think about
Given the situation what else can come from it?

Now I believe that the good give away
And the good will come back someday
Some people love to love
And you're one of those people
But when have you done enough
How long have you been giving those
Who won't give to themselves
All your own sanity

When have you done enough
When have you done enough

I get myself in a bind
Everyone does sometimes
And it can be a hard fight
Just to get out clean
So we lean on each other
But we have to come to terms
The outcome of the situation
Is up to us

That Summer

When I see fireflies
That summer reels through my mind
As I recall the stars were bright
And something in the air felt right

The days were long
Outside we held each other
We didn't have a care at all
We let the good times roll
Where it would lead we didn't know
We were just having fun
We were having fun
That summer

You let your hair fall down
On me as we laid on the ground
We spoke few words
About the future and us

We laughed a lot
Hours of each day were lost
On the mystery of lust
It was a short run
That was the season
We were just having fun
We were having fun
That summer

I want to go back to where we were that summer
I wan to to go back

When you look what do you see?
Remember the water at your feet
And don't forget the sun
And how it felt when we touched
The way we were
Couldn't last forever
But we held on to what we could
It was a short run
That was the season
Were were just having fun
Having fun that summer

Windy Road

It's been a long year I guess
My world's been spinning around
I'm getting closer to where I want to be
But I'm still on shaky ground
I get on with these changes
I've got a new point of view
No matter where it leads me
You know I'll still come back to you

If you just show me the moments that we've had
When we were wearing smiles on our faces and laughing
Replay all the kisses and the late night conversations
Remind me how it started
You know I'm never going to let it end

I wonder what you're doing
All the times that I'm am gone
The nights are late and lonely in these cities
I can't wait to get back home

When dust settles on a windy road
And lights turn off in the stands
I'll see you then
And that will be when I feel my best

You're standing in the doorway
With that familiar grin
The one that tells the story
Of the life we're building

Grain of Sand

I see you smiling up ahead
And you wave to call me
Then you whisper in my ear
You say you're running now
And on the way is love
And how all the pain is gone

And you'll like
And you'll like the way it goes
When you're finally on your own
And you'll like
And you'll like the way it goes
When you find your way home

I know you crave the innocence
Of the days before these
I'll hear you laughing again
As the weight is falling down
It's only a grain of sand
And how you'll blow it from your hand

You kept your faith
Every night you cried
Imagining a new life

People

People let freedom ring out
Let your voices sing loud people
We're born into this madness
We conform to whatever happens
It's the way of the world people
Wake up and save us

What we have here is a chance to make it right
What we have here is the choice of our lives
Some things that we've lost
You know we'll never get back
But this is where we are now

We don't know what to do
About this violence so we leave it up to
Lying, cheating, stealing leaders
Everyday that we are living
There's nothing to lose from the time that we are given
So why do we hurt our own people

Wake up and save us

We're not going to live forever
We'll stick together and we can be fine
If only for a short time
We'll find something to believe in
With greater meaning
Even though it might seem hard
It doesn't have to be hard

Miss You Around

For all the times that I failed to express
What you meant to me
I'm sorry
And for the days that we spent
When I had the chances
I should have taken
Those days are gone
But I thought you should know

I miss the places we went out
I miss things we talked about
I miss your different style
But most of all I just miss you around

We felt the rain fall
Before the storm
Out by the boats and
In the breeze you would sing
Your favorite songs
From the radio
I don't hear them anymore
I don't hear you anymore

I miss the places we went out
I miss things we talked about
I miss our walks through this town
But most of all I just miss you around

You've got to be her best option
You got to treat her like a woman should be treated
You got to keep all of those big promises
If you don't want her to leave you
If you don't want her to leave you alone

I miss the places we went out
I miss things we talked about
I miss your crooked little smile
But most of all I just miss you around

I miss the places we went out
I miss things we talked about
I miss your intimate sounds
But most of all I just miss you around

Golden Sun

Woman you got a strong fire
Burning up in me
Baby don't cool it down
Keep it hot, hot, hot for a go around

Don't you feel like, Don't you feel like
Don't you feel like making love
When you get home I've got something for you
Soon we'll be kissing and touching and waking under cover of a golden sun
Don't you feel like making love
Don't you feel like making love

Come here
If it starts cold
Warm it up to the right feel
Work it like you're made to
I like how you do what you do when you do me

Girl you're driving me crazy
You're building up my lust
I need you now baby
You get me all worked up

Life Is Wonderful

Soaking in the day it feels so good I must say
Sitting here with you
Watching life move
From a soft cloud in the sky the world divides
What we see and believe

Life is wonderful
Make sure you live it up

Across the earth over and under
What a place to make way through
From the calm of dreaming
To the wake of dawn
Love bring us together

It's lifting me up and taking me higher
Keep sending me love
All the love

Closer

I'll be the one on your side
And you'll be the one on mine
I'll follow you where you're going
We can build a home
No time is as good as the time
We're spending alone

This love is going to bring us closer
Keep doing what we have
This love will still be there when we're older
We'll keep winning each other over and over again

I like to watch you bathe in the sunlight
I like to watch you dance in the moonlight
And when you lay your hands on me
I think I could be in heaven
You still get me going like that
And I still want you so bad

I'm still working together with my baby
She deals with me somehow
If there's anything in this world worth waiting for
I know we've found it

This life will put us to the test
Time is short don't regret
It won't always be easy
We'll have to face some challenges
As long as your heart and my heart are beating
We'll help each other out

Dust & Bone

Oh no, my world has changed

And left me here thinking about today

And my dreams have run so long

My youth has gone away from me

So lord would you give me a chance to free

A sense of young love inside of here

The day is new

I’ll pour my life into the best of myself to get through

Something makes me feel older

When the night gets colder and I’m alone

But I know my time is precious

And I won’t let dust into my bones

I’m going to reclaim my freedom

And I’m going to lift myself up

What I do today will lead me where I go tomorrow

Catching Up Again

Going to listen to you when you’re talking in my ear

Tell you what I think about sometimes when you’re not here

Then remember how you look just before you walk away

And then miss the part of life you were giving me

Oh miss the part of life you were giving me

What a nice sunrise

Seeing you the first time

And now we’re dear old friends

Catching up again

I try to keep you in mind after your laughter’s gone

But some types of memories only last so long

Don’t want the type to forget when the night comes to an end

Or the type that starts to fade when another day begins

Clocks keep ticking

And our world’s change

I’ll be reminiscing about the days

When I saw you every morning

Just like a song you haven’t heard in awhile

Or a picture frame that fits you in a smile

I’ll take a deep breath just to calm me down

Then get back where we started like we never left this town

Being Alive

Sometimes it feels like it should

Sometimes we’re misunderstood

We get tired from working

We get caught up in our own worlds

It’s easy to forget

Just what we are doing here

We need to remind ourselves what this is all about

Here’s to being alive

For the rest of our days and nights

And when we find ourselves thinking

That nothing is good enough

We need to be thankful for what we have

Thankful for being alive

It’s not when you fell down

Or the dent you got in your heart

It’s not about your limitations

Or currently where you are

The best and worst of things

They will come and they will go

You need to remind yourself what this is all about

I still believe in the future

I still believe there’s a god who loves

We all want to know where we’re going to

But until that day we’ll keep on trucking through

If you’ve been grieving

Afraid you’ve been missing out

Remember always

That your heart is still beating now

And if that’s all that it means

And it don’t promise you anything

You need to remind yourself what this all about

In the Afternoon

In this big world it’s hard to get by

With just a laugh and a casual smile

I try to get myself together

I got to be stronger, better

It all comes too fast

I get up duke it out with a job’s long hours

Step by step, day by day

I work to the bone just so I can get paid

But at least, at least, at least

In the afternoon

I don’t have a thing to do

Except gather my thoughts

And sit and watch the patterns on the wall

While I sing my song

I pick up the pace

Gather my plans for tomorrow

Play awhile until it’s time to go

But I could spend my whole life here strumming

While the rest of life keeps on running

It all comes too fast

I get up to the sound of a freeway hum

Left, right, left moving on

I do the same as everyone

But at least, at least, at least

As the room turns from a light ray

Into a moon sky melody

I sing loud

I let my heart and my soul out

Cause I love the chill of a song

You know It gets me back to feeling good

When I wake up spinning each morning

I give eight hours a day at minimum wage

Balance & Pull

There’s something all around me

As simple as it is

As clear as all the golden skies

Blowing on the wind

Running on the ocean

Screaming on the edge

Coming from the moments

Of breath upon the air

Passion of heart

Now that you’ve appeared

I don’t have any fear

I’ve searched to find you hear

Heaven is sending

A prayer to calm the noise

This is all I can be

And this is my voice

But I can be closer

To the open heart of truth

Closer to the inside

And closer to you

I found you

Creeping in my soul

Creeping like a ghost

Passion of heart

I’ll give you everything

I am with you night and day

In pleasure and in pain

Passion of heart

I cannot be sure

What our life will have in store

Through the balance and the pull

Through the balance

Through the balance

Through the balance and the pull

Keep Moving On

When the day is long

And the night is dark

And life is not easy

Lord bring us together

And we’ll make it all better

You know love is all we’ll need

To keep this good thing going

We’ll do all that we have to do

To keep this good thing going

We’ve got to keep moving on

Got to keep moving on

Well the touch of you

In the pale night moon

Spins my world around

Love send me your cover

And I’ll send mine on over

You know we could use some now

Don't Stop Loving Me

This ain’t no average situation

But it’s always worked out well

Since the first time I saw you you’ve had my attention

And today you have it still

So don’t stop love

Don’t stop love

Don’t stop loving me

I never knew how we would make it

I just always knew we would

We had some hard times on occasion

But they never kept us down

No they never kept us down

I can be good man

I can be a strong man

I can be a better man

As long as you stick with me darling

When I’ve been in need you’ve always given

So much more than I deserve

Sometimes when a man suffers

Only one woman, one woman has his medicine

Get It Right

You’re beautiful dressed like that

I don’t think I have ever wanted you so bad

But I messed up over a thousand times

Could you find it in your heart to forgive me tonight babe?

Please forgive me

Cause this could be the last chance to get it right

This could be the last chance to get it right

The attention I should have given to you

All the days we were in school

I should have been there for you when you were around

Not a part of every distraction

Please forgive me

I know there might be complications

So many I created

And I admit I have a lot to learn

But if you let me I can prove I can do better

Happy

Before my last breath

I don’t want to be alone

I’m gonna miss the stars above

And the scent of the ocean

And the simple fun

I had by your side

The silent calm

Between your heart and mine

Cause we’re happy

Just as we are

Living free

I never want to leave

I never want to leave

We’re a small part of

This place in history

Oh how the time comes

And goes quickly

Mystery temple

Built by the hands of God

All I pray for

Is that you save our love

Awake in the morning my heart beats again

I savor the moments we lay here in bed

Because I know life could end just as soon as begin

And the thoughts keep spinning in my head

Life is short

Gotta do what I gotta do

Gotta see what I came to see

And save myself

In this world I know

It’s hard to conceive

It’s hard to believe

But we gotta believe

There’s a place called heaven

Out of our Minds

The days of youth so far away now

We turned our frowns up we never had a doubt

Something occurred and we held our breath

We stumbled through the door and never looked back

Now we’re going out of our minds

Going out of our minds

Stories are told everyday

Without a single word or a change of face

Our hands are tied and hearts broken

Intent to find a touch of return

The time was always good and free

We were lost in the mystery of it all

Moving on right out of here

Don’t say the love is gone

You once held near

Ease Your Worried Mind

What are the things that make you happy?

Where are the places you want to go?

What are the jokes that you keep you laughing?

These are the things I need to know

So love me until the morning

I’ll make sure you are satisfied

Wake up when you wake up

I’ll ease your worried mind

There is no time like the present

To lay down and rest your bones

So put down your books and your papers

True beauty is in your soul tonight

It’s alright to take all night

Swaying to the music

Shape the words with your mouth

Take in every moment

Wait for them to come back around
