I Can
04:17

I see everything happening
Feeling changes coming on
I gotta let go of what I know
Where I’ve been coming from
Pre-chorus:
I picture overcoming obstacles
See me beat the odds
Down stream of my dream
My own big O-cean
Chorus:
I can if I think I can
Turn my doubts into sand
I can if I think I can
I made a plan, I’ll take a stand
I’ll be my own biggest fan
I can if I think I can
If I think I can
I see the strangest things happening
Rainbows at dawn
Thoughts like melodies stay with me
Lead me down this road I’m on
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Can, can, can, can c-c-can
Fantasies are easy, and
What’s worth having that isn’t hard?
I can be whatever I’m gonna be
Yes I’m following my heart
Chorus
Can, can, c-c-can
I can if I think I can
Turn my doubts into sand
I can if I think I can
Take a stand, make demands
Gonna have about a million fans
I can if I think I can
If I think I can

I'm Not Perfect
03:16

Take that
I take it back
You can hold me down
But I can’t relax
I mislead you
Mis-read you
and start it all again
Here I come
I’m on the run
I went too far
Now look what I’ve done
I wanna save the world
But I can’t save myself
Chorus:
‘cause, I’m not perfect
But I guess you’ve always known
Under the surface
Are all these unturned stones
I’m not perfect
No matter how I try
And I’m always wondering why
There I go
Putting on a show
I have an addiction
To my inner glow
I don’t consider
The consequences
Take control
Don’t let go
I won’t hold back
What I think you should know
I’d like to tell you everything
And nothing at all
Chorus
Have my moments
My bad notes
I follow the road
Of the most hope
I only recognize the carnage
In the settled dust
Of my wanderlust
Chorus
You can look
But don’t touch
I like the attention
A little too much
I’m never wrong
Always gone
Until I start to miss you
If it happens once screw you
If it happens twice well screw me too
I can be so nice
And as cold as ice
Chorus

Nothing I Would Change
03:05
|
|||
|
I wanna change the place where I live
I wanna make this old house like new
I wanna change my job,
my car and my shoes
But there’s nothing
I would change about you
I wanna change the color of my hair
I wanna change into things I never wear
Something changed in me
the moment that I knew
that there’s nothing
I would change about you
The moment the light came down
across the sky of gray
I knew that you would be just right
And I wouldn’t have you any other way
I wanna change the day to night
But changing you just wouldn’t be right
I wanna fade the light
and make love by the moon
But there’s nothing
I would change about you
I wanna change all
the times that I lied
I wanna do more than
just gettin’ by, gettin’ by
If I could change the world
baby, that’s what I’d do
But there’s nothing
I would change about you
The moment the light came down
Across the sky of gray
I knew that you would be just right
And I wouldn’t have you any other way
I wanna change the winter to spring
But in you my love
I wouldn’t change a thing
Something changed in me
the moment that I knew
That the biggest change in me is you
‘cause there’s nothing
I would change about you
Well there’s nothing
I would change about you
nothing I would change about you
Well there’s nothing
I would change about you
nothing I would change
Well there’s nothing
I would change about you

Right Here
02:54
|
|||
|
You said you’d never
forget about me
The one you left behind
And I told you not to worry
I said go on I’ll be fine
Now I wonder if you think about me
Here in the prison of your past
I know you still need to
find your calling
But maybe someday you’ll come back
And if you’re looking
for a way to find
All the things you left behind
Its right here
And if you’re looking
for a place in time
You can stop and press rewind
Its right here
Its right here
remember the nights
we were affected
Our souls connected intertwined
You told me that you loved me
and you meant it
And I believed
but wrong place wrong time
So if you’re looking
for a way to find
All the things you left behind
Its right here
And if you’re looking
for a place in time
To sit and watch the world go by
Its right here
Oh, its right here
I know it’s hard sometimes
to come on home
But it can be
harder to stay away
I hope you find what you’re
looking for out there
But you know
you always got a place to stay
Right here
Right here
So if you’re looking
for a way to find
All the things you left behind
Its right here
And if you’re looking
for a place in time
You can stop and press rewind
Its right here
Oh, its right here,
Right here
Right here
Right here

Monday morning
I been thinking
Time to make a new start
Stop dwelling on the past and
Begin here and
Now (now)
So easily missed
Now (right now)

Gonna sublet my apartment
Man I gotta get out (get out)
Same old mundane lame old routine
It’s not what I’m about
Now (now)
Somewhere to exist
Now (right now)
I can do better than this
I’m livin for today
Gonna leave my demons in the past
I Wanna do better than just okay
‘cause life goes by too fast, fast oh yeah
Monday evening who needs the weekend
The future’s for those who doubt
Gonna go out and have a good time
I might as well do it now
Now (now)
I’m gonna take a risk
Now (right now)
I can do better than this
Now (now)
I’m gonna take a risk
Now (right now)
‘cause I know there’s more than this
Right now, now
I’m gonna start to live for
Now, ooooh, ohh
‘cause I can do better than this

The Bartender Song
03:16
|
|||
|
Some people call me an alcoholic
Well, they can call it what they want to call it
But something’s looking good behind the bar
Someone who cares no matter
who you are, who you are
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
Is it the hair or that smile?
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
So I think I’m gonna stay for a while
Here’s another story
you’ve heard a thousand times
You just shake your head
and you squeeze one more lime
I wonder how you have no regrets
When everyone here has
got ya in bed, I’ll get ya in bed
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
Is it the spark in your eyes?
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
So I think I’m gonna stay for a while
I think I’m gonna stay for a while
Hey there bartender
I’ve been watching you all night
Flash that smile one more time
You’ve got that thing
that makes everyone go wild
We’ve got a thing for
the bartender
Is it your laugh or your style?
Well I’ve got a thing for you bartender
So I think I’m gonna stay for a while
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
Is it your hair or your smile?
I’ve got a thing for the bartender
So I think I’m gonna stay for a while
I think I’m gonna stay for a while…..

What You're Doing
03:02

Close your eyes
And hear the world whisper
Open your mind and look within
You got wounds
So deep they blister
But this world don’t care
Where you been
So you better figure out
What you’re doing
Everybody’s got a dream
So you better figure out
What you’re doing
If you wanna be with me, yeah
Close your eyes
And feel the world breathing
You’re alive
You’re better safe than brave
You believe in fate
Just not in trying
You sit around
Hoping you’ll be saved
So you better figure out
What you’re doing
Find something to believe
So you better figure out
What you’re doing
If you wanna be with me
Bridge:
You been standing still
Watching the waves crash over you
It’s time to be more than hopeful
Or that’s all you’re ever gonna do
Now, now now, now
So figure out what you’re doing
Find something to believe
You better figure out
what you’re doing
If you want to be with me, all right…
Bridge
So figure out what you’re doing
I think it’s time you
chase you’re dream, oh
figure out what you’re doing
If you wanna be with me
You better figure out
what you’re doing
Well everybody’s got to dream, oh
Figure out what you’re doing
If you want to be with me

Misery
04:09
|
|||
|
Everytime I hear you say my name
A shiver runs through me
And I wonder just how cold you can be
Misery, Misery
I’m so cold in my my Misery
Been freezing out here
For what seems like and eternity
I’d like you to let me in
Or just let me be
I hear you talking all your smack again
Then you turn and give me
the cold shoulder
And I’m still waiting for a little heat
To warm my soul and set me free of my
Chorus:
Misery, my misery
You’re so cold
And you don’t know
how it’s the only thing
that you give to me
My, my, my, my, my Misery
Ocean waves that I cannot see
Swallow me whole
And it’s a cold and dark place to be
Taking its toll on me and my
Chorus
Freezing thoughts
When it seems like I can’t go on
And when I start to thaw
You do me wrong
Oh, oh, oh my my
Chorus
Misery……
Oh my, my, my, my, my…
Misery, my misery
You’re so cold
And you don’t know
How it’s the only thing that you
bring to me, Yeah
oh my, oh my
Misery, misery
It’s the only thing you got for me
And it feels like hell is freezing over
My, my, my, my, my misery…

Don't Love You
04:27
|
|||
|
There you go
You only know what you want to know
And my words fall through your ears
And past your soul
Been sitting on my hands so long
Tryin’ to figure out
Just where I went wrong
Well blame’s a useless game
Just trying to learn
When to walk away, so
Chorus:
I don’t love you, anymore
There’s nothing else I can do
I don’t love you
I don’t love you
Like I did before
I don’t love you….
I’m wondering why
Talking to you is like one big lie
I’m putting up fences
After the battle, it’s so senseless
I know now the taste of
Lovin’ you is much to sour
And oh, how you drain me
I hope that I’m putting this plainly, oh
Chorus
I’ve had enough
Making lemonade with this stuff
I’m through going round for round with you, yeah
I’m so fed up (so, so fed up)
I think I’m giving up
It’s the only sane thing to do
I don’t love you
Chorus…..

No Umbrella
03:19
|
|||
|
You are the sun
That shines on me
And just when I give up
You give love give me love
Give me love
This is the moment
Of certain disaster
But I can’t get enough
Of your love of your love
Of your love
So stay by my side
We’re in for a long long ride
Chorus:
Going fast going slow
This is what I need to know
You are mine I am yours
I know this one thing for sure
When it rains when it pours
I got you and I don’t need
No umbrella
You are the one
And you shine on me
You are the answer
To my question
And you’re the only one
To give me love give me love
give me love
And when the world seems
Like it’s turning faster
Well I just want to run
To your love your love
To your love
So stay by my side
We’re in for a long ride
Chorus
And you shine on me…
Hold me down, let me go
Do it fast, do it slow
On the top, and below
Make it stop, let it flow
On the left, on the right
In the dark, in the light
Get it on, get it off
I’m so loud, I’m so soft
I’m hot, when I’m cold
Let’s create, let’s explode
Waves crash on a calm sea
I am captive I am free
Chorus (I am free… free)
