1.Punchline
I'm afraid I'm gonna disappear
If someone doesn't notice that I've been around for years
I'm educated, but I can't find words to say
If it doesn't happen then I might just fade away
I don't know what it is that makes my head spin
I just wanna see the light that's trying to get in
But it takes so long
And it's always a process
And I can't find the patience
When I reach the punchline
When we all reach the punchline
Let me deliver, let me deliver
When I reach the punchline
When we all reach the punchline
Let me deliver, let me deliver
When I was young I knew exactly what to be
Surrounded by eccentrics, and it kept me on my feet
But the brains I had went all to my head
And left my words tangled, and darkened all I said
I don't know what it is that fills my head with doubt
I just wanna shine the light that's trying to get out
But it takes so long
And it's always a process
And I can't find the patience
When I reach the punchline
When we all reach the punchline
Let me deliver, let me deliver
When I reach the punchline
When we all reach the punchline
Let me deliver, let me deliver
2.Tip Of The Iceberg
I'm the tip of the iceberg afloat at sea
I carry the weight but it's underneath
You hear me sing, you don't see me bleed
I hide it all in a melody
Heart spread open wide, I let the water in
Right before my eyes I fill it up again
I'll do you right so don't do me wrong
I'll sing you the words to your favorite song
I'll tell you the story that we all belong
I'll let you in if you won't stay long
Heart spread open wide, I let the water in
Right before my eyes I fill it up again
I'll pick you up if you shoot me down
Tomorrow will take me to another town
But life is short and it's rarely found
In the air you gotta hit the ground
Heart spread open wide, I let the water in
Right before my eyes I fill it up again
3.Little Boy
Oh little boy you are alone, but you don't understand
That you can't become a man on your own
What you need might be a girl to see the other half of the world
Then you can be a man just like me
The more you grow, the less you're gonna need me
But the heart will break, and being a man's not easy, easy,
believe me
Days are short, some days are long but they come and go so fast
And love won't always last but love is strong
Brother don't be afraid if the sky is dark and grey
A light will shine always for you and me
The more you grow, the less you're gonna need me
But the heart will break, and being a man's not easy, easy,
believe me
4.Heart Of A Slave
I went Sunday driving through our old town to see the change
They won't take my memories no matter how they rearrange
We always felt so innocent with our promises and doubts
In the company of strangers we were all but straightened out
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
The problem with our story is that it's told after the fact
By the time we reach the end we're living in the past
The home runs and the strikeouts run together on the page
Even play-by-play descriptions always seem delayed
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
I can feel your eyes they focus on my every flaw
A life of imperfection's got me tied up in its jaws
So if you see I'm buried tell my friends you heard my shouts
I know that your love's the only way to get me out
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
Say won't you say how to make things right
I've got the heart of a slave and I just can't fight
5.We Go Together
Oh babe don't cry now
We'll be ready soon somehow
I can find a way for you to start being happy
I've got too many dreams you see
And I forget about you and me
So I wrote you into my song, you're here in the words
Oh we go together like vines
I can wrap around your thorns, and you can climb mine
Oh as strong as we can be, is never enough for me
It's never enough for me
I'm gonna pin my heart to your skin
So it's home when I get lost again
When I feel like the craziest boy in the world
I need more than a memory
With a thousand miles between you and me
So I wrote you into my song, you're here in the words
Oh we go together like vines
I can wrap around your thorns, and you can climb mine
Oh as strong as we can be, is never enough for me
It's never enough for me
I missed my stop again
Your house flew by
It was unforgettable
It was unforgettable
I'll come around again
Your room to mine
It was unforgettable
So unforgettable
It was unforgettable
Oh we go together like vines
I can wrap around your thorns, and you can climb mine
Oh as strong as we can be, is never enough for me
It's never enough for me
6.I've Had Enough
I just want to say hello to know that you are real
My poor eyes are getting old and you seem so surreal
I just can't seem to unwind
You're always up there in my mind
Taking what's not yours to find
I've had enough
I just wanted you to know my heart is made of steel
My poor mind is getting old, without you it's unreal
I just can't seem to unwind
You're always up there in my mind
Taking what's not yours to find
I've had enough
7.A Bed Of My Own
The last time that I looked up it was the middle of May
Here I am in the August heat, believe me there's not much I can
say
For all the months I gave it, for all the times I saved it
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I don't want you to see me alone
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I'm sleeping in a bed of my own
I don't believe in what you say when I see myself
Cause every word takes a different turn, am I just another book
on your shelf
For all the times I loved you, for all the times I lost you
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I don't want you to see me alone
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I'm sleeping in a bed of my own
Every time I look at the sun
It's something that I've already done, I know it
I'm lying in the bed that I made
I'm lying in a love I could save
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I don't want you to see me alone
Keep your head down, keep the light out
I'm sleeping in a bed of my own
8.Words
Words you say to me make my knees go weak
Oh no, here they go
And you know that you're right, but I won't see tonight
Oh no, oh no
Everyone I know is telling me the truth
But I can't bite my tongue it's just no use
I don't hear what's coming out
The wicked words just fall out of my mouth
I don't mean to shout
I need a helping hand, for I am just a man
I know, I know
I'll fight the lie within, and pray that truth will win
Oh no, oh no
Everyone I know is telling me the truth
But I can't bite my tongue it's just no use
I don't hear what's coming out
The wicked words just fall out of my mouth
I don't mean to shout
9.Roses
I'll buy you roses, baby
Write you a song
Just to say forgive me baby
I went on for far too long
I said a few things baby
I didn't mean to say
I wanna be my own man baby
Can't say things the same old way
Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away
Our love is different baby
Than all your friends
The way you look at me
Says words they'll never understand
Let's find forgiveness baby
Come in from the rain
Dry your tears upon my sleeve
And let love break away our chains
Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away
Roll up your blue jeans babe
Let your dark hair low
Let's dance our blues away real slow
I wanna be your lover baby
I don't wanna be your friend
Let's fill our hearts with love again
I'll buy you roses, baby
Write you a song
Just to say forgive me baby
I went on for far too long
a
Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away
Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, anything to make love stay
10.You Were There
I've got that feeling again
Like I just can't win
It never goes away
Looks like its here to stay
I've tried everything and every way
I've said everything I was too shy to say
But that's too easy
It's much too easy
It didn't work that way
So I turned to someone else
Someone I couldn't see
To guide everything and bring it all to me
But that's too easy
It's much too easy
It didn't work that way
But you were there everyday
You were there everyday
And it gives me faith to say
That I need you
I've watched my world crumble into dust
I've been buried in the mud of greed and lust
It's never easy
It's never easy
To go against your ways
So you're a friend for every single thing you do
Just another soul who's got my problems too
It's never easy
It's never easy
To listen to the truth
But you were there everyday
But you were there everyday
And it gives me faith to say
That I need you
I tried to do it on my own
I tried to make it all alone
But here I stand, a broken man, I'm home
11.Common Ties
When the colors of the rainbow fall in line with the sun
And the water on the pavement has nowhere to run
They are two but the same, they're the remnants of the rain
The storm is gone, the storm is gone
When the lights in the city flicker on along the street
And the stars in the country shine like diamonds on her feet
They are two but the same, oh the sun is gone again
The nights is here, the night is here
There's darkness and light, uh huh
There's wrong and right
But the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we
draw
When nothing in your life seems to fall into place
And a stranger finds the beauty in every single face
They are two but the same, oh there's no one to blame
Just let it be, let it be
There's darkness and light, uh huh
There's wrong and right
But the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we
draw
When a man finds his peace and he draws his last breath
And a mother holds a baby for the first time to her breast
They are two but the same, oh the life goes on again
Oh it begins, oh it ends
There's darkness and light, uh huh
There's wrong and right
But the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we
draw
