THE OTHER SIDE OF DOWN

Down, Down,
Down, Down,
Down, Down,

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
One by one they all keep telling me I told ya so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
Mmm

And the world went spinning
Yeah, somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me
I could give up
I could stay stuck
I could move on

So I put
One foot front of the other
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride
I-ii keep climbing
Gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of
Down
Down
Down-whoa oh oh own

In the sky I'm standing under
All I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver lining hiding in the gray
I might get tossed around
But I'm always bouncing back
Oh, Oh, Oh

I could give up
I could stay stuck
Or I could move on

So I put
One foot front of the other
No no no nothings gonna break my stride
I-ii keep climbing
Gonna keeep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of
Down
Down
Down-whoa oh oh own

Down
Down
Down-whoa oh oh own

From the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be

Where I wanna be

Ohh I put
One foot front of the other
No no no nothings gonna break my stride
I-ii keep climbing
Gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of
Down
Down
Down-whoa oh oh own

Down
Down
Down-woah oh oh own

Oh, down, down,
Oh, down, down,
The other side of down, down,
Other side of down-oh oh own
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

SOMETHING 'BOUT LOVE

Every night it's all the same
You're frozen by the phone
You wait, something's changed
You blame yourself every day

ELEVATOR

Whoa-Oh Oh Oh
I had a dream last night
I didn't know which floor to get off on (Yeah, Yeah)
The doors they opened on 4, & 5, & 6,
And you were gone
All gone

I didn't understand
I didn't wanna know
At least I took a chance
I had to let it go

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down
And you just go with the flow
Till your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You're gutta get back that high

And in my dream last night
The doors, they finally shut
And I was there, somewhere
Alone in my reality, inside an empty box
That's filled with air, but I don't care, no
Next time I'll get it right, next time I'll be okay
I'll have a different dream tonight, tomorrow's another day

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down and
And you just go with the flow
Till your feet are back on the ground

It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

You'll never know
What you're gonna get
What you don't expect, can come and find you
If you laugh or cry, you run and hide
But it's alright

Elevator goes up
Elevator come down and
And you just go with the flow
Till your feet are back on the ground

It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high

Elevator goes up
Elevator comes down
And you just just go with the flow
Till your feet are back on the ground
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes you up
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies that keep you feeling
So Alive, so alive
You gotta get back that high
You gotta get back that high

STOMPING THE ROSES

Wasting time just going mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger did it occur to you
Ten years from then, you'd act the same age

I cannot carry on this way
Although I've carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses?
Smashing out all the feeling inside, of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses

I was flipping channels on my television
And it made me feel unwell
One of those complicated soap operas
I almost felt like I was watching myself

I cannot carry on this way
Although I've carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses?
Smashing out all the feeling inside, of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

I know, I know, I know, I know,
It's over and I
I know, I know, I know, I know
Always been your token nice guy
I know, I know, I know, I know,
And I know that you rule your whole world
And I thought I could live in it
But I just can't

You know you're stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside, of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

Stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside, of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses

Stomping, stomping Yeah
Take it easy, yeah

WHO I AM

Been two hours in a taxi cab
I'm just driving around
And I'm running a tab
But it doesn't really matter
No, I'm not getting mad
It's okay 'cause I know where I'm going

Out the window everybody's on the phone
All the lights are on
And they're all in the zone
Gotta take a step back from my new ringtone
I don't care if Jeff Fenster is calling

Days like these
It's hard to breathe
I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop the craziness some how
Leave it all behind me
And no one's gonna find me

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out
Who I Am

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh,
Who I am

Windshield looks like a movie screen
And the world outside is a big machine
And it moves so fast I can barely think
That's okay 'cause I know what I'm doing

Days like these
It's hard to breathe
I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop the craziness some how
Leave it all behind me
And no one's gonna find me

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
I've gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out
Who I Am

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Sometimes
You just know
When to hold on
When to let go

I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
Stop this craziness some how
Leave it all behind me
And no one's gonna find me

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
It's time for me to find out
Who I Am

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,
Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
Gotta take the time now
Time for me to find out
Who I Am

Oh, oh, oh (Time for me, Time For Me)
Oh, oh, oh

Who I Am

Oh, oh, oh (Time for me, Time For Me)
Oh, oh, oh

Who I Am

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Who I Am

FALLING STARS*

When you forget me
When you don't remember my name
Not even a memory
Somewhere in the back of your brain

I won't be offended 'cause I always knew
That the day would come when
I'm not enough to make you stay

You tell me it's not possible
No way that we could break
But nothing is illogical
Believe me

Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn up like
Crashing cars
I'll never get over you,
Never over you 'cause
You are so beautiful, yeah

The world is turning
And time keeps on lingering on
The sun will be burning
Eventually you will be gone

I'll always love you
Ohh, believe it or not
But baby, that's not enough to,
Not enough to stop these

Falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn up like
Crashing cars
I'll never get over you
Never over you 'cause
You are so beautiful, yeah

When it's all said and done
I'll be just a speck in the galaxy
Floating far away by gravity
Tell me it's not possible
No way that we could break
Like falling stars
Like crashing cars

Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, just like
Crashing cars
I'll never get over you
Never over you, 'cause
You are so beautiful

You are so beautiful, yeah

PARACHUTES AND AIRPLANES

There something crazy 'bout this day
Like I'm walking on a trampoline
I couldn’t get much higher
Ooohh
So if I ask ya would you stay
'Cause you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire
And I don’t ever want to say goodbye
I just wanna steal this moment right away from time

What do you say
When you can't come down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you’re here and ya got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
Never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground

The worlds a thousands shades of blue
Like we're here in a kaleidoscope
Don’t want it to be over
Like everything that’s in my mind
Is here right in front of my eyes
And you're the one who got me here
'Cause I don’t ever want to say goodbye
No, I just want to steal this moment right away from time

What do you say
When you can't come down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you’re here and ya got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes

Never hit the ground
'Cause life gets hard sometimes
And I just need a place to get away
Turn the world around
I'm never coming down
'Cause I don't ever wanna hit
Don't wanna hit the ground

Round, round, round, (ohh)
(I don’t want to hit the ground)
Round, round, round,
(I don’t want to hit the ground)

What do you say
When you can't come down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you’re here and ya got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes

What do you say
When you can't come down
When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge
Now you’re here and ya got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes

Never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground
Never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground

LOOK AROUND

Keep on running
And you'll never get to feel the moment
It's like you're sleeping
'Cause you don't take the time to take it in

Like a train wreck
You're on a mission
Tunnel vision, got you blinded
Better slow down, before you lose ground
It'll happen anyway
Paint it over if your world is gray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just
Look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
You stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around

Shut the window tight
But it’s raining on the inside
Do you realize you’re getting nowhere
But it’s all laid out for you
Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just
Look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around

You found a loophole that you fell in
Now you’re treading water
You gotta see the hand, for it pull you out

When you close your eyes to see the view
You miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just
Look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around

Look around

GOOD PLACE

I don't know what I'm doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place
And I don't wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
'Cause it's a good place

You find it
You hold it
You feel it's grace

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late
I hope it's not too late
I hope it's not too late

I've been silent up till now
I've been going with the flow
Wherever that goes
But somethings screaming out inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo

You find it
You know it
Don't make it wait

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late

Cause I don't wanna waste another summer
I don't wanna wait until I fall
I could be a memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all, yeah

I don't know what I'm doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late
Oh Yeah, I hope it's not too late

COMPLAIN

Mmmmm
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, mmm

How many times have you said
If I just had one more dollar in my pocket
Know that I felt the same
How many time have you dreamed
That you could pack up and leave
Just run away from your troubles
Baby I can't complain

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can't complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can't complain

Have you ever believed
That it's just not your day
Like the world is against you
You know we've all felt that way
So far away from my home
And everything that I love
But as long as I'm breathing
Baby, I can't complain

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can't complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can't complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way

Any time, any minute now
We could fall, it could all crash, down
But I'm not gonna end it that way-ay-ay
No Way

'Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it
All should be
Baby, I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way
Baby, I can't complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can't complain

No Way
No Way-ayy
No Way
Baby, I can't complain

THINGS ARE GONNA GET BETTER


Yeah, Yeah,
Mmmmm

Everybody's got a time in their life
When everything hurts and nothing's right
But you gotta walk on
Yeah, you gotta walk on

Everybody's got a piece of their heart
That's been stepped on and torn apart
But you gotta be strong
Yeah, you gotta walk on

'Cause I know it's hard to have the strength
And sometimes you can't get through the day
But things just float on by like a river in the night

But I know things are gonna get better
And I know things are gonna be fine
And I know life is gonna get better
Standing here together
Yeah, we're gonna be fine

Everybody's got that one regret
No matter how they try, they can't forget
But you gotta move on
Yeah, you gotta move on
Everybody's got someone they've lost
And they can't believe they're really gone
But you gotta live on
Yeah, you gotta live on

'Cause I know it's hard to have the strength
And sometimes all you feel is pain
But time keeps floating by on that river in the night

But I know things are gonna get better
I know things are gonna be fine
And I know life is gonna get better
Standing here together
Yeah, we're gonna be fine

And I've been shown hope
I see it in your eyes
So take me and touch me
'Cause with a little bit of love
We can win the fight
With a little bit of love
We can see the light
With a little bit of love
It'll be all right

I know things are gonna get better
And I know things are gonna be fine
And I know life is gonna get better
Standing here together
Yeah, we're gonna be fine

Walk, walk, walk on by
Keep, keep, keep walking on
Keep, keep, keep walking on

MY KIND OF PERFECT

I was thinking about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
Like you like shooting stars
Or write songs on guitar
Got more things to do
Than stare at a mirror

And I know, I know
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know
She's gotta be

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one
Is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe

She's anything but typical
A sweet surprise
No matter what she's looking at the bright side
It's gonna be worth it
'Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect

And I know, I know
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know
She's gotta be

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one
Is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe

They say give it time
Give it time
And it will fall in line
But I keep wondering
How and when and why I haven't met you

But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right

Is she the one
Is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one
Is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe

Oh, maybe, yeah
La la da da da da da, whoa, whoa

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW


Street lights turning on just like the sun
No shadows trying to knock me down tonight
My walk is like a run, to you
Windows like a broken crystal ball
Show me the missing pieces of my life
And now I want them all, with you

Breathing faster,
I count the hours till
The day after tomorrow
I can hardly wait
It's getting closer now, closer now

The day after tomorrow
It's getting closer now, closer now
Ohh my walk is like a run to you

This story can't be fictional
This chapter's only got two pages left
And I'll re-write it all, with you

Breathing faster,
I count the hours till
The day after tomorrow
I can hardly wait
It's getting closer now, closer now

The day after tomorrow
It's getting closer now, closer now
Ohh my walk is like a run to you

I'm not awake
Suddenly, I know the way
And I can't feel it now
Cause I was lost
The past forgotten
I can't go back to yesterday-ayyy

The day after tomorrow
I can hardly wait
It's getting closer now, closer now

The day after tomorrow
It's getting closer now, closer now
Ohh my walk is like a run

The day after tomorrow
I can hardly wait
It's getting closer now, closer now

The day after tomorrow
It's getting closer now, closer now
Ohh my walk is like a run to you

NOT A VERY GOOD LIAR

Ohhh, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You can tell me everything is perfect
Pretend breaking up with him felt right
No sign of reminiscing
Somehow you're not convincing
Why even try to hide it inside

You say you’re over him
Tell me that you're fine
You know it doesn't work even when you smile
I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar

You say it doesn't hurt
That you never cry
You can tell yourself
Go ahead, deny
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Not a very good liar

Inside you're falling apart but you keep it together
Tell tale signs
Looks like you've been crying all night
It's for the best you keep on saying
That something better is out there waiting
But eyes don't lie
And I see it every time

You say you're over him
Tell me that you're fine
You know it doesn't work even when you smile
I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar

You say it doesn't hurt
That you never cry
You can tell yourself
Go ahead, deny
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar

Oh Oh, Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh
You're not a very good liar

Maybe it hurts too much to talk about
So you don't say nothing at all, No
Mmmm
And if you ever need someone to talk to
Then you know who to call

Ohhh
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh no no, no
Yeah, Yeah

You say you're over him
Tell me that you're fine
You know it doesn't work even when you smile
I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar

You say it doesn't hurt
That you never cry
You can tell yourself
Go ahead, deny
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar

Oh Oh, Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh
Not a very good liar

SENSELESS

You’re telling me it’s over now
It’s like you turned the volume down
Now I can’t even hear a sound
Looks like you’re about to leave
Now it’s getting kinda dark to me
Cause that ain’t something I can see
It’s like I’m getting worse everyday
Girl I’m breaking down
Got my heart on the floor
And I can’t feel it,
Everything’s numb

Now I’m senseless
Got no feelings left
My pain won’t let this heart beat in my chest
Now I’m senseless.
Why are we doing this?
I’m so losing it, oh oh, senseless

Feels like I lost your love
Since I had to give you up
And now I’m so outta touch, yeah
The other day I smelled your scent
It came across like punishment
A bitter taste is lingering
My senses have seemed to escape
All the feeling’s gone
I’m cold and I’m lost
With no direction
And everything’s numb.

Now I’m senseless
Got no feeling left
My pain won’t let this heart beat in my chest
Now I’m senseless
Why are we doing this?
I’m so losing it, oh oh

Think it smells like rain, water on the floor
But I don’t know cause I’m so gone
Can’t even see tomorrow coming on
I can’t even hear myself scream
Can’t even feel anything
And I would die to love you if I could

Cause girl I’m so senseless
Got no feelings left
My pain won’t let this heart beat in my chest
Oh senseless. (I ain’t got no, I ain’t got nooo)
Why are we doing this?
I’m so losing it, oh oh.

Oh, oh, senseless
