1.Because We Can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand because we can
She's in the kitchen starin' out the window
So tired of livin' life in black and white
Right now she's missin' those technicolour kisses
When he turns down the lights
But lately feelin' like a broken promise
In the mirror starin' down his doubt
There's only one thing in this world that he'd know
He said forever and he'll never let her down
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand because we can
Eatin' takeout on a coffee table
Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine
Turn down the sound and move a little closer
And for the moment everything is alright
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can, our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we
We can, just wrap your arms around me
We can, we can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean (I don't wanna be)
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
Wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
(I am a, I am a, I am a)
Because we can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can (because we can)
Our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we
We can, just wrap your arms around me
We can, we can
Because we can
2.I'm With You
Look at this world
it's filled with worn out places
forgotten faces and nothing changes
Whatever happened to that new day rising
we're just surviving and living is dying
Are you tired of being let down
another day, another shakedown
I'm With You
Hope is gone and all you want is the truth (I'm With You)
You carry on when it seems no use
I'm With You
If I got one thing I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose (I'm With You)
I walk in shadows that seem all familiar
I've read the papers, a live forsaken
I'm an awful sale sign
Down on Main Street you just walk by
How times you gotta break down
Before somebody's gonna shout out
I'm with you
Hope is gone and all you want is the truth (I'm With You)
You carry on when it seems no use, I'm With You
If I got one thing I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose (I'm With You)
When hope is gone and all you want is the truth
You carry on when it seems no use, it seems no use
If I got one thing I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose (I'm With You)
I'm with you...
3.What About Now
You want to start a fire？
It only takes a spark
You've got to get behind the wheel？
If you're ever gonna drive that car
If you want to take a bite
You better have the teeth
If you want to take that step
Then get up off of your knees
'Cause tonight,we're alive
Who'll stand for the restless？
And the lonely？ For the desperate？ And the hungry？
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teacher
Stand up and be proud... What about now？
You want to start a fight？
You've got to take a swing
You got to get your hands in the dirt
To see what the harvest will bring
You want to raise your voice？
Don't be scared to breathe
Don't be afraid to hurt
Don't be ashamed to need
tonight, we're alive
Who'll stand for the restless？
And the lonely？ For the desperate？ And the hungry？
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teacher
Stand up and be proud... What about now？
The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons
'Till dreams are just bare dark and gray
And all of your plans that slip right through your hands
Are just stains that you'll take to your grave
Tonight, we're alive
Who stand for the restless？
And the lonely？ For the desperate？ And the hungry？
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teacher
Stand up and be proud... What about now？
What about now？...
What about now？...
What about now？...
4.Pictures Of You
I feel just like Picasso
And you're my master piece
I painted it in a lifetime
Now what's left our memories, ohh
Sunlight to the curtains
And diamonds in the trees
I gave you colors blue and gold
As you left on the streets
It was something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try
No matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you.
I could almost smell your perfume
Give each brush the colors of flowers
I left you deep from China
waiting in your sacred shower.
It was something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try
No matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you.
If I should go crazy, if I would go blind
I'd still feel the canvas
from the pictures in my mind
if that's the only way to make you mine.
It was something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try
No matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you.
I'm always painting pictures
Still painting pictures of you.
Oh oh oh
5.Amen
Last night I had a dream
The dream I had was true
I fell through the stars
Went walking on the moon
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
The skin under my finger tips
Honeysuckle on her lips
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say？
But Amen. Amen
Last night we were born together
It was like we'd always been
She'll be with me forever
If I don't see her again
We poured the wine until our cup ran over
Unfolding like the mystery
Inside of her like poetry
A thousand horses running through my veins
Mercy, mercy what else can I say
But Amen, Amen
I laid down in her garden
Naked on her floor
Windows up, the curtains blowing
She don't lock the door
Amen, Amen
At the banquet table
A beggar at a feast
I felt her tongue between her lips
And I forgot to breath
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet
Last night I had a dream
The dream I had was true
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say
Mercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed
6.That's What The Water Made Me
Baby, baby, baby
No use in trying to save me
Cause devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
So, blow me one last kiss
And wish me well, well
Love is like fingerprints
It don't wash away
I let mine all over you
I take the blame
Ask me how
Ask me what
Don't ask me why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
This world, it's cracked and crazy
Say one of your pretty prayers for me
No roles in the garden？
Or Wishing well？
I don't know how
Don't know what
Don't know why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
That's what the water, that's what the water.....
Ask me how, Ask me what, Ask me why...
Baby, baby, baby
There's no use in trying to save me
There's devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to our knees
That's what the water, that's what the water
7.What's Left Of Me
For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman
I made my living with a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
Been back from the desert for a year or so
Left more in the sand then you'll ever know
Another war's waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flags one gave their lives
I'm still living yeah Semper Fi
Well that's my story, what else can I say
Hey hey
I got a lot to give so can't you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me
Boarding up the house they left the keys
For growing on my city rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me
Hey hey
They called us dirty Harry, we're a punk rock band
While it's sold off CBGB's I don't understand
All that's left now are the t-shirts and the comp' for Japan
I sold my drums to make ends meet
The band broke up, we had to eat
It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days,
Hey hey
I got a lot to give so can't you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me
Boarding up the house they left the keys
For growing on my city rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me Hey Hey
I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man
It's getting harder to make a living on this hard land
We ain't working in our factories all these jobs went overseas
Hey hey
Does anybody want, Does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me
I got a lot to give so can't you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me
Does anybody want to buy or rent
Take the chance or place a bet
I ain't checking out I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me
Hey Hey
Does anybody want Does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me
Hey Hey
Does anybody want does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me
8.Army Of One

9.Thick As Thieves
In an empty room, all the tempting bar
cross the universe, there's no place too far
yeah wherever you are
you and me, thick as thieves.
Well it ain't always pretty
Sometimes it can rough
Could have throne the dial in
And threw the hands up
Seems like we've always been
And always will be thick as thieves
Time, time won't never drag us down
You, me, us, ain't looking back and turning around
It's classic born each girl
with our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
In a world without faith
Your word I believe
When they stack in the deck
You're the cut up my sleeve
In my hour of need you and me
Yeah thick as thieves.
And that are all that's left behind us now
You, me, us, ain't looking back on turning around
It's classic born each girl
with our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
If our rather bank, you wouldn't care
You'd come sit on my lap
In the electric chair
and when they flip the switch
We just kiss
I know nothing's gonna stop us now
You, me, us on the. urge never looking down
What's a boy to do, it's classic me and you
Lucky you, lucky me
Thick as thieves.
Ohh
Thick thieves, oh yeah.
10.Beautiful World
Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end
In the end when it ends I don't listen to them
You wake up go to work go to sleep then you do it, you do it
If you're lucky then you do it again
Yeah we walk through a world that we don't understand
When I look in your eyes I'm just happy I can
Yeah will laugh and will cry and will lose and will win
Will get through it and to prove it, yeah will do it again.
There's glory in my saddest story..
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
Where we go and where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Uh, but ain't it a beautiful world.
It's a shame when they say that's it's binned on the sin
they can dig in that grave up and ..aheads
there's a kid with a dream in the sky for his stars
there's another first kiss, in them back of some car.
Turn our page and write the story..
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
Where we go and where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Uh, but ain't it a beautiful world.
There are the numbers that I ..as close
Will marry..this is a rose
we get a lot of, there's a cut up in a tree
Uh, ..wearing in Gucci glasses
The widow spreads her lover's ashes
I hold on to you, hold on to me, yeah
Will do it, will do it, never lucky then will do it again
I look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
Where we go and where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Uh, but ain't it a beautiful world.
Ain't it a beautiful world.
Oh ain't it a beautiful world.
Oh aint' it a beautiful world.
11.Room At The End Of The World
There's a room at the end of the world
Where my secrets go to hide
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I'll wait for you tonight
Where the roads all go to end
Where lost apologies get sent
Where the rose comes back to life
Where young love never dies
Where we never said goodbye
You don't say no, just get in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
There's a room at the end of the world
Where your memories are safe
There's a room at the end of the world
Just gotta have some faith
Where the oppressed go to be heard
And truth will have its turn
Take a look into the rise
No place I'd rather be tonight
No place I'd rather be tonight
Don't say no, just get in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
There's no looking back in our room, fade to black
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I want you
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I wait for, I'll wait for you
Don't say no, just get in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
Where I'll wait for you
In my room dreams are coming true
In my room it's just me and you
In my room I'll rather wait
12.The Fighter
I should write down these words 'fore I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them
Someday you may wanna know who I am,
Beyond this facade no guitar in my hand
No I am not a writer
These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths
I am all I am, all I was to you
The lie and the promise, the great escape artist,
The weed in your garden in that place you're still guarding
Where I am not a liar
I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter, few will remember my name
These are hands that can offer protection
But hid me from my own reflection
I'm that book that ain't finished, a sink full of dishes,
The horse that ain't winning, the priest that's still sinning
The spark that starts the fire
I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter, few will remember my name
With loneliness next to me, feels its misery, nursing another
black eye
On the New Jersey turnpike, counting the headlights
Those cars just like days pass me by
I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter, few will remember my name
I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter, a fighter's born but not made
I should write down these words 'fore I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them.
13.With These Two Hands
I could roll the dice,
And give me a change good reasons
I could break the ice
And pick up the broken pieces
I could wave hello, I could raise a glass
I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass
We could take it all apart
Or hold it all together
With these two hands
I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge
I can break my fall
With these two hands
I can pray or fight
I can hold a torch
I can shine a light
With these two hands
I could strike a match
That sets the world on fire
Hold the grain of sand
Till it turns into a diamond
I could plant the seed
I could flip that switch
Make a sign of peace
I could make a fess
Or we could make this worse
Or we could make it better
With these two hands
I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge
I can break my fall
With these two hands
I can pray or fight
I can hold a torch
I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the tears drops from your eyes
We jump until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
Know there ain't nothing we can't do
With these two hands
I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge
I can break my fall
With these two hands
I can pray or fight
I can hold a torch
I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the tears drops from your eyes
We jump until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
Know there ain't nothing we can't do.
14.Not Running Anymore
Bless me father I have sinned,
I'm not sure where to begin.
I won't name names or where I've been,
But I've been there and back again.
No Hail Marys will save me,
You learned to live with memories,
Here,slip this sinner up your sleeve,
Just stay inside until I leave.
I've been running, always running
Never have both feet on the floor.
I've been running, always running,
Now I'm not running anymore....
The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves will wash up on this shore
I won the fight but lost the war.
I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore.
There were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you, or me, or us
You've shouldered ifs, and ands, and buts
It's that way ok, I've said too much
But I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
15.Old Habits Die Hard
You look like shit so dear my brother
I missed you too, yeah you dumb stupid mother
The jeep welcome home sign a bottle of red
At least you got freedom in an open out there
Free cheers till the best of the rest we got left
If you could read many thing, what would that be？
If you could greed that, would you share it with me？
We carry on choices, we've had our regrets
When all there's a price...bets
Maybe they ain't seen the last of us yet
Cause old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
And old habits die hard
There's a face in mirror, but it don't look like me
Yesterday's gone, dropped in the sea
But I have your back for each day that's gone by
And I still have ...till the day that I die
I still have ...till the day that I die
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
And old habits die hard
Some day you be missed by those leaving behind
And I hope you touch other lives like you touched mine
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
Appearences change, but don't change who we are
And old habits die hard.
16.Every Road Leads Home To You
I got your picture on my phone
Your voice in my head
I'm lying here alone
I'm restless in a far away bed
The stars are falling down
And I'm half the world away
I'm just tryina close the distance
To feel each breath that you take
When the bridges burn and I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way to the truth
I go wild, I'm flying, now I'm finally running
From everything I thought of you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
So you got me to believe
Made me turn on the dime
The writing on the wall, running from me
Every song, every rhyme
But I don't need a thousand words
I need you safe in my arms
I'll be standing strong, I'll keep holding on
When life tries tearing us apart
When the bridges burn and I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way to the truth
I go wild, I'm flying, now I'm finally running
From everything I thought of you
No, I ain't regretting just how lost I'm getting
All the red lights I've been blowing through
But who to find it better, as I'm counting the hours
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home, the road still leads me home to you
Sometimes I go to the side, airlocks make me blind
The road still leads me home to you
When the bridges burn and I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way to the truth
I go wild, I'm flying, now I'm finally running
From everything I thought of you
No, I ain't regretting just how lost I'm getting
All the red lights I've been blowing through
But who to find it better, as I'm counting the hours
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Every road leads home to you
