Dusty Guitar 04:32
Well my old guitar is filled with dust And these old strings are covered in rust And I'm afraid I'm bound to break a string or two My old back is just a little bit achy And this old voice is just a little bit shaky But I'm still sitting here singing songs for you I've been up and I've been down Upside down and twisted around I haven't been doing the things I used to do But something new has got a hold on me I've been too long in misery It's time to start breaking free And making something out of me So if you stick around for the rest of the show I've got plenty of songs that you don't know So if you're ready, I am willing to go But if I don't know the words, well that's alright 'Cause neither do you, so just sit tight I'm bound to figure them out by the end of the night Well there's so many things that I'd like to know And so many places I'd like to go I've been spending my time avoiding the passing lane Spinning in circles on this great big earth Waiting for some kind of new rebirth Or else I'm about to go clean down insane Well we've all been up, we've all been down I'm not treading on any new ground I'd like to think that we've all got a fresh new start I don't know what I've been told But I'm pretty sure we've gotta grow old And if you know that's gotta be true We've all got something better to do So if you stick around for the rest of the show I've got plenty of songs that you don't know So if you're ready, I am willing to go But if I don't know the words, well that's alright 'Cause neither do you, so just sit tight I'm bound to figure them out by the end of the night

Rough Draft 04:31
I couldn't help but notice that you were still alive on this earth I couldn't help but notice that you were still amazing, for what it's worth I couldn't help but think that you had other plans Than the ones that fell through I couldn't help but wonder if you were wondering the same thing too If that was our rough draft, the one you always throw away If that was our last mistake, that we ever have to make Though we may crash and burn and be left alone And lonelier than before But just the chance to crash, and just the chance to burn Makes it all worthwhile I couldn't help but think that you might love me after all these years But I don't wanna know if you despise me for all these tears And if I left no mystery unanswered then I apologize But I can't help but think about all the history in our eyes If that was our rough draft, the one you always throw away If that was our last mistake, that we ever have to make Though we may crash and burn and be left alone And lonelier than before But just the chance to crash, and just the chance to burn Makes it all worthwhile We never had a time that we could call ours We never looked beyond the moon and the stars We could never get it right, we never had the chance If that was our rough draft, the one you always throw away If that was our last mistake, that we ever have to make Though we may crash and burn and be left alone And lonelier than before But just the chance to crash, and just the chance to burn Makes it all worthwhile

Don't make me get over you Because I know I never will I don't even want to try So just come give me a thrill You drive me outta my mind Just doing the things you do I just can't do anything Unless it's with you And you should always know when the light's on I'll be home And when my heart is beating, I'm in love I'm in love with you With only you When my heart is beating I'm in love with you You keep me satisfied with everything you are I'm old enough to marry you Yes, I'm satisfied You keep me on my toes with all your little lies But I always seem to forgive you When I look in your eyes And you can always come when the lights are turned down low And when my heart is beating, I'm in love I'm in love with you With only you When my heart is beating I'm in love with you

Someday down along the road I might realize That carrying this heavy load was just a bunch of lies Lies that nobody told me Lies that hid the truth Lies that no one else can see Lies that stole my youth So when can I begin anew and start all over again? What if I can't do the things that I could back then? What if all my dreams and hopes just vanish into the past? If I can't do the things I need, how could I ever last? Everything's much clearer when it's written in black and white All the fancy colored words just fade into the night My mind is overflowing like a bucket full of rain Making me feel alive by bestowing on me pain But all the time I sit here casting shadows on the wall Everyone keeps telling me that it's nothing at all So when can I begin anew and start all over again? What if I can't do the things that I could back then? What if all my dreams and hopes just vanish into the past? If I can't do the things I need, how could I ever last?

It was just my luck to find you here when I didn't have a clue I could have sworn I'd seen your face somewhere before Excuse me for one second while I blow the dust off my heart I haven't used it in such a long time But now it's finally beating again And that's something, it's something that I can't argue much with It wasn't just my luck that we met It was something beyond our control Something from up above I guess only time will tell I just hope it's not too long Now I'm not gonna use the word love Because it usually gets me in trouble I'm just gonna take it easy and wait it out If we know what the future has in store we may give up all together And I'll be damned if I'm gonna give up at all The sun is finally starting to shine And that's something, it's something that I will not argue with It was a twist of fate that we met And it's something beyond my control There's something here in my heart And I don't know what else to do I just want to get to know you

You're looking for something that is not here You're looking, but you will not believe your eyes You refuse to let it in, you refuse to let it out You keep waiting & waiting and you test the clock Turn off the phone, make sure the door is locked The strangers outside, they've got nothing for you You can't see their eyes, just the haze of blue … around your soul… your tortured soul… … your soul… your poor tortured soul… You must think you're the only one Cut a little deeper next time Trying to live but you're dying to die You're stuck in the future in that godforsaken place Cut a little deeper next time Trying to live but you're dying to die I wish I could save you but it's much too late To care about you at all You're waiting for a rainier day This is nothing, the darkened skies cannot compare To the thoughts up in your mind Whatever they may be You keep on searching but your luck ran out You keep tryin' to find what it's all about The strangers outside, they've got nothing on you So you run & hide between your shades of blue … around your soul… your poor soul… … your tortured soul… your damned soul… You must think you're the only one Cut a little deeper next time Trying to live but you're dying to die You're stuck in the future in that god damned place Cut a little deeper next time Trying to live but you're dying to die To hell with trying to save you anymore I was done so many years ago.

So It Goes 03:12
What the hell is wrong with everyone? What the hell is wrong with the world? Load up your bombs and guns Murder all the innocent ones Till every single last one of them is gone Someone will come along every once in a while That makes this whole spinning Earth Seem so juvenile And so it goes… Another day comes to a close But what can we do? Just sit here and watch? The world never speeds up nor does it slow down But it seems like it stops turning for just an hour or two To make sure everything is still green and blue And so it goes… Another day comes to a close Where are we going now? When the hell will all this turn around? Let us not be defined Let us not be confined Give us some sort of other reality Don't let us lie awake tonight Give us some false peace of mind To wrap our thoughts around Maybe someone will come along to set our minds at ease But I can't see it happening soon Unless someone hears my pleas And so it goes… Another life comes to a close

I have been lied to I have been lonely Nothing you can say or do can change the past I have been cheated I have been beat down I have been tied down and twisted and pissed off and jaded Most all the things that surround me now Remind me of yesterday I swear to God, all the church bells in the world They must have been broken I was born at the wrong time to figure all of this out I have been strung out I have been wasted I've been going through so many changes I haven't learned much And I haven't tasted All the good things that are on the other side Where the grass is always greener And the air is always just a little cleaner I swear to God, all the hearts that were in this world They must have been broken They must have been broken They must have been broken I was born at the wrong time to figure all of this out

It's a mirror in the sky flying here up high Staring back down at me The words that I sing fall backwards and ring Of a life I tried yesterday to be The birds in the trees on the wings of a breeze Flying for miles above lacking smiles But the stars in the night Have achieved a new height As I sit and sing songs for the moon Clouds reappear and while the movements are clear The intentions are yet to be known The snow falling down on the once green ground The deceptions of earth have been shown The birds in the sky seem to go flying by Crying their tears, it falls on deaf ears But the stars in the night Have achieved a new height As I sit and sing songs for the moon

Muse 04:54
I'm detached and I'm unlatched And I can think of any words that go with your name I heard your voice, I had no choice But to think about all the good times that we had But it's not the same You're so intangible to me these days though it seems You keep me on a string but you operate only in my dreams You keep me all to yourself I don't even know myself You keep me all to yourself Just knowing that something is better out there It kills me, it thrills me Just keep me in mind when you're lonely Just keep me in mind when you're only marking time Just knowing that something is better out there You kill me, you thrill me I don't need your picture anymore to see you And I don't need your number on my wall But I've got it all And I'm real good at denying it all To everyone but me

If I could, girl, I'd give you the world Anything that you'd say And I would, girl, I'd leave you alone If you don't want me to stay But I'll never stop thinking of you And I'll never stop loving you Just give us one more chance We can save our romance I'm so sorry for everything I've done And it'd be worth it to me To set you free If it would make you happy And it'd be worth it to you To tell me the truth Do you still love me? Please let me stay Don't turn away What more can I say, but I love you And I know, girl, that you'd never try Intentionally to hurt me And I know, girl, that we've been so strong We can handle anything, you'll see So let's show the world that we can last Let's look forward and forget the past But if you don't want to I'll understand you I'm so sorry for everything I've done And it'd be worth it to me To set you free If it would make you happy And it'd be worth it to you To tell me the truth Do you still love me? Please let me stay Don't turn away What more can I say, but I love you
12.
To Hold You 03:34
Tell me you love me And I'm down on my knees Tell me I'm the only one And I'll do as you please I've given up my world Now you can give a little, too You can hold me in your arms But can I get a chance… to hold you? Tell me you want me And I'm yours forever I feel like you want me But just let me know for sure Tell me your wishes And I'll tell you mine You can have my life Now is that fine?

St. Marion 05:23
She always speaks her mind and always knows the truth She doesn't care that her approach is so uncouth She always seems to know which way the world will spin And she's so confident that she will always win And she can read my mind and loves to play her games But she doesn't seem to care to remember your name She moves so free and clear, just like an acrobat She doesn't give a damn where you think her mind is at She takes it slowly but suddenly she's fast By the time your mind's made up, she's left you in the past And she can do things that you would never dream of And all the while you hope to God that this ain't love She stays a week or two and says that you'll be blue You'll be blue… You'll be blue… And you can try your best to make her your wife She'll leave you wondering the rest of your life You'll never see her cry or hear her laugh too loud She's always in command alone or in a crowd She'll catch you watching her and with a little smile She'll pick your heart right up and she'll throw it a mile And she can move mountains but she rarely has the need But she can stand right up upon her own two feet

A million questions I asked myself today I tried to find a reason to make you stay I couldn't seem to find the words I thought that I needed to say Or maybe I just didn't want to take the time To think about it today Take my heart, take my soul Lock them up and take control Take a deep breath, turn around & look at me Could I be the man of all your dreams? The man of all your dreams Now I'm not sure how I feel inside Are you the one or would you break my pride? I've never ever been so lost I've never been so confused Or maybe I am worried what you would say If I told you this today I'll take your heart, take your soul Lock them up and take control I'll take a deep breath turn around & look at you Could you be the girl of all my dreams? The girl of all my dreams
