What It's All About
There's something about these october skies
The way the stars align, there's no denying
Something good's about to come my way
If you could only see, the way I see it
It gets from good to great
Don't let my mind get in the way
I've never been to africa
Or seen the great samoan skies
But i'll travel the world and the seven seas
Just to see what it's all about, what it's all about
Round here, everyone's the same
Round here, life just wants to get comfortable
In a bigger, better home and garden or something like that
Anyway, lately, everyone's been driving on the same lane
And it's a wonder, it takes forever, for me to get to you
So how do we get from good to great?
Don't let my mind get in the way
I've never been to africa
or seen the great samoan skies
but i'll travel the world and the seven seas
just to see what it's all about, what it's all about
Oh woah oh oh oh oh oh
Oh woah oh oh oh oh oh
And all I wanna say
all I wanna say
is I've never been to africa
or seen the great samoan skies
but i'll travel the world and the seven seas
maybe even down to tennessee
I've never been to africa
or seen the great samoan skies
but i'll travel the world and the seven seas
just to see what it's all about, what it's all about

Personal Anthem

Personal Anthem
It's close to closing time
And I haven't made up my mind
To what I want from life
It's gonna be a while, be another hour
To play this game of "seek and you shall find"
And I get the feeling that I am not alone
Though I'm feeling low
On this road less travelled
And I get the feeling that I am on my own
But just like you said, it's my personal anthem
Numbers figures, prolific dreamers
Been keeping me up all night
I know I don't play the games well,
I let everyone down
But can you count backwards with me now, what's with me now
And I get the feeling that I am not alone
Though I'm feeling low
On this road less travelled
And I get the feeling that I am on my own
But just like you said, it's my personal anthem
I've been swimming in my ocean
Of words and arguments
These philosophers have failed me, so far
But can I stand on your shoulders, made of legends and giants
For all I know is when my times i up, I'll be so much better than I am now
So don't give up on me
No, don't give up on me
No, no, don't, don't give up on me
No, don't give up on me

These Days
I should write an apology letter
Send it to all the friends I've loved and offended
For these are the days, where the rubber meets the road.
I should buy myself a plastic smile
As I'm walking past your picket fences
For these days, there's a fiddler on your roof,
And all the good kind people have all got something to say
Go find yourself a wife so you can get home soon
For these days, it's starting to rain.
Oh love, please proof me wrong
Oh love, I can't be strong, I got my wrong shoes on.
And all the good kind people have all got something to say
Go find yourself a wife so you can get home soon
For these days, it's starting to rain,
Oh oh these days, it's starting to rain,
Oh oh oh oh these days, Oh I wish it would rain

Almost Sunday
So I haven't been the best of a friend
Been chasing my shadows, burning bridges in this old town
So, how do you mend a broken heart?
Can you still trust in this prodigal son of a bastard that I've become...
So, friend, it's almost sunday and I haven't been on my best behavior
For so long it's always sundays when i get nostalgic and i think of the good times
So I won't wait another year till its too late
Won't take you for granted just because you're there
For now I think it's time
I wanna go home
Been keeping up awake all night
My demons have come back to haunt me in sevenfold
So, how do you mend a broken heart?
Can you still trust in this prodigal son of a bastard that I've become...
So, friend, it's almost sunday and I haven't been on my best behavior
For so long it's always sundays when i get nostalgic and i think of the good times
So I won't wait another year till its too late
Won't take you for granted just because you're there
For now I think it's time
I wanna go home
Home, home is where the heart begins to heal
And home, home, will this sunday bring me home
So, friend, it's almost sunday and I haven't been on my best behavior
For so long it's always sundays when i get nostalgic and i think of the good times
So I won't wait another year till its too late
Won't take you for granted just because you're there
For now I think it's time
I wanna go home
I'm coming home
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm coming home

Anything
So we've come to the end of the road.
Everyone's moving on and they are out the door.
I'm still standing here,
Waiting for my turn to say what I really want
For this time, I'm really done.
An empty room, another empty space
You talk aloud but no one answers you
Down the hallway, my packing's almost done,
I think I've got my blueprint but I'm bleeding red to red...
I'll do Anything, to get over this
For it's been breaking in, in on everything
I'll do Anything, to get over this,
For it's been breaking in.
It's been a while since I saw the sunset from your back
Maybe we should hang out soon
And catch the morning light?
Let's take a drive, get out of this town
Cos the pain's been keeping me up all night
The pills don't work no more
I need you more and more
And I'll do Anything, to get over this
Find a place, a place to rest my head
I'll do Anything, to get over this
For it's been breaking in, in on everything.
Is there anything, that you want from me
For I'm down on my knees
At the end of my street
Is there anything, you can say to me
For it's been breaking in, in on everything...
So we've come to the end of the road,
Everyone's moving on and they are out the door.

Feels Better Now
Give me something to believe in
Not just some sunday morning feel good trip
i’ve got enough of your therapy and all your lies
Now look what you’ve done
Stop trying to fix what’s meant to be broken
i’m a new born human not some crack-job case
I know you can tell that everything is breaking down
But how the hell do you know what’s going on
Chorus:
I wish I was ten feet stronger
I wish I was a little taller
For you for me for everybody else to see
I wish I was a little happier
Lately I’ve been feeling helpless
For whatever that's worth, it Feels Better Now
Two seconds from finding all i want
Two steps away from losing everything i got
Why do i always have to screw up all the goodness,
All the goodness in my life
Just being me, I’ve got too much affection
I know i lose balance and I’m falling fast
I forget who I am, if you can save my day, then get over here right now
[chorus]
I don’t know what changed this morning
But when you sat right here next to me
I found the reason to live, to give, well, you see,
Thank you for your copy of grey’s anatomy.
I wish I was ten feet stronger
I wish I was a little taller
For you for me for everybody else to see
I wish I was a little happier
But lately i been feeling better
For whatever that’s worth, it feels better now

Free
When I look into the mirror
Do I see your face looking back at me?
When I speak do I reflect your love,
Do I wake up thinking of you?
Do I think before I say a thing
Do I babble beyond my means
When the days become a curse
How do I begin?
Chorus:
I want to be free
Free from all angst ridden pain
Free from all my guilt and shame
I want to be
I want to be free
To look beyond my emptiness
To look upon the cross you gave
For all I want to be
Do I blame you for my troubles
Do I look beyond the pain
Cos now the rain’s too heavy
To run away from this
Now it’s not about the figures
Or the images that I’m spinning
Now I see the whole light
It’s my foolish pride
[Chorus]
Bridge:
Help me remember that my life is nothing short of beautiful
That I am not some cosmic mistake

I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I'm coming home, yeah, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Fell In Love
With a girl whose skin like porcelain
I Fell In Love
With the twinkle in her eyes
She said something about
Something she has got to go
Go see about a boy who's got her heart
And a fairy tale life
She's been looking for
She's been gone
For so many days and so many months
She's been gone
To that old quaint english country town
And these pictures of her
And that beautiful ring on her finger
For a boy has got her heart and she's in love
And her fairy tale life
Has only just begun
Fell In Love
With a girl whose skin like porcelain
I Fell In Love
With the twinkle in her eyes
If I ever find
Someone else exactly like her
I would never ever let her
She's the kind of girl
I wanna spend the rest of my life with
