A Way Out

We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
It don’t have to be so complicated
Just speak a word and you will find that
If we can go and recreate this
To live a lie and never think about
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
Back in a different time
When I was yours and you were mine
Seein’ things in a different light
The way they could‘ve been
Movin’ through our everyday
Voices screaming all along the way
Let’s dispense with all the pleasantries
And get right down to it
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
Now it all comes down to this
A conversation to another kiss
But what’s the point in all this emptiness
If there’s no meaning to express
Feelings jumbled all around and through
Between the sight and sound and thought of you
Angel's howling at the moon
Oh won’t you come down for a while
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
It don’t have to be so complicated
Just speak a word and you will find that
If we can go and recreate this
To live a lie and never think about
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin' for a way out
I’m so tired, oh so tired
I fail to see the sparks resume
Even if there’s a chance to bloom
I think that I prefer the solace in this room
Sit alone and just sing this tune
I prefer the solace in this room
Sit alone and just….and just sing this tune
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
It don’t have to be so complicated
Just speak a word and you will find that
If we can go and recreate this
To live a lie and never think about
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin' for a way out
Please let me, please help me
I will be that much stronger
Tell you what to do, if you ask me to
That’s just how it’s gonna be
Please help me, please let me
I will be that much stronger
Tell you what to do, if you ask me to
That’s just how it’s gonna be
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’ for a way out
We say to the point but do we mean it
Or are we just lookin’…

Perfect Moments

The pretty lights in 3's and 4's
That dim the walls in all their green and gold
It's a place to call my home
The faces all meld into one sweet memory
Of life and love and perfect nights
That will always be with me
If we could save tonight
Where you'd be mind and I'd be yours
Stuck in the middle with our friend Eleanor
A time for sweeter songs
The melodies we all adore
We can only hope it's forevermore
And although it's time and place
Of hearts and minds and interplay
In my heart it will always stay
So for now I'll dance and sing
Of times I've spent in booths and beers
In loving love and lousy poetry
To hear the sound out in the streets
To lose myself in a perfect moment
Is a timeless energy
And although the love dies down and disappears
You can bet that I'll still be here
If we could save tonight
Where you'd be mind and I'd be yours
Stuck in the middle with our friend Eleanor
A time for sweeter songs
The melodies we all adore
We can only hope it's forevermore
And if the walls decide to cave
I'll be there when it falls to the ground
And if the skies fall down upon me
I'll be there relive all these
All these lights and sounds
If we could save tonight
Where you'd be mind and I'd be yours
Stuck in the middle with our friend Eleanor
A time for sweeter songs
The melodies we all adore
We can only hope it's forevermore

These are the Days
05:26

And it's a strange fate
To step band and realize
You're nowhere near you planned
And these are strange days
When I have come to accept the fact
That this is my routine
The child that I once was
The man that I've become
The life I seek to find
An endless highway
That has brought you to such stage
And that's the path you made
It's funny how the hand that's dealt
Don't always match the smile you gave
And you feel as though it's all a waste
Just remember that:
Take a step back and know that you've got time
The hand that I've been dealt
Good or bad's the hand that's mine
Live these moments, don't regret them
Their yours and yours alone
The hand that I've been dealt,
The hand's that mine's not far from yours
The child that I once was
The man that I've become
The life I seek to find
These are the days
and they are mine
These are the days
These days are yours, these days are mine
The child that I once was
The man that I've become
The life I seek to find
Children we once were
The men that we've become
The life that we have found

Who We Are

Hello there, it's good to see you
Won't you stay for a while
It's been so long, it's been years
Since I've seen your smile
All this time that's passed, all this time that's gone
It all just seems so far away
But it's all these times we live for
And though they've been and gone
They made us who we are today, and so I say:
Hello there, it's nice to see you
Let's sit and talk for a while
It's been too damn long, it's about time we say
Let's reminisce of our love for yesterday
I recall the times where nothing held us down
No thoughts or cares, we were living in the here and now
Not much to show for the money spent or the weeks on end
Three sheets to the wind
But they were the best of times, they were the hardest times
That's how it goes when you lay your heart on the line
The love we felt kept us pushing on through every day
Our hearts, they took us every which way
And I'm still smilin' now, and I'm still tryin' now
I'll sing this song to you my friend
Tears are still fallin' now, but I know I can make it somehow
And drink to the friends we lost along the way
And I'm still smilin' now, and I'm still tryin' now
I'll sing this song with you my friends
Tears are still fallin' now, but I know we can make it somehow
And drink to the friends we lost along the way
Hello there, it's good to see you
Please don't go

The Road

If every little thing we've done has brought us to this moment
I think, then, we're all doin' something right
Despite the sticks and stones and broken bones and broken hearts we've loved
I'm still here with you tonight
A taste of all the pain in all the blood and sweat and tears we've cried
Has got me thinkin' I was wrong
But I look around at all my scars and all the starts up in the sky above
And I feel it's a sign, the road I did choose was something right
I'm far from where as I recalled, in a dream of where I thought I'd be
And I'm still not quite sure where the road is leading me
With a heart of love and this guitar I am movin' what's surrounding me
To a place I am still coming to know
I'm greeted with a smile when I think of all these memories
Of roads long travelled, from mountain to the sea
And it all came back at once with the sound of one sweet melody
And a tear I did not expect, rolled down my cheek
And I take a moment to breath
'Cause still I'm far from where as I recalled, in a dream of where I thought I'd be
And I'm still not quite sure where the road is leading me
With a heart of love and this guitar I am movin' what's surrounding me
To a place I am still coming to know
And that is me
I'm far from where as I recalled, in a dream of where I thought I'd be
And I'm still not quite sure where the road is leading me
With a heart of love and this guitar I am movin' what's surrounding me
To a place I am still coming to know
'Cause every little thing we've done has brought us to this moment
And whether you think it's wrong or right
The road I travel on is long and hard and worth it all
'Cause I'm still here with you tonight
And I'm still here, and it's alright
