How I love to be the chain
How I love to say your name
How I wanna be the one you run to
How I wanna see this through

How I love to be the risk
And the wrinkles in your fist
How I love to be the one you need
How I love to watch it bleed

When will you learn just to give me
What I want, what I want
When will you learn to let it show

How I wanna be the eye
As it watches in the sky
How I thought it was a reason call
How I love to risk it all

How I love to be the twist
How I wanna live through this
Swinging wildly from a hand you hold
How I love to be that bold

When will you learn just to give me
What I want, what I want
When will you learn to let it show
What you didn't see comin
When will you learn just to give me
What I want, what I want
When will you learn to let it show

When will you learn just to give me
What I want, what I want
When will you learn to let it show

. . .


You got your pieces
And you got your pawns
You got devastation hands
And a life that leads like insanity
What you need is you need
A little something that will take the edge off
Just a little a push to get you to the ledge
You can jump it from
And when you're jumping
Only you would ever know again

You live for love
But the love's all gone
Surround yourself with genius
But the meanness is enough to kill someone
So you learn what you learn
You drink your blessings
And you take your pills
You look for something better
But you've lost your will to save yourself
So the hurt keeps coming

Only you would ever know who was your friend

I know
What you need
You need someone to help you tonight

Only when you're here can I feel like this
When I put my arms around you
Only when you smile does it hurt like this
Just let somebody love you

. . .


Maybe I'm the joker
Maybe I'm the fool in your eyes
Maybe I'm the weak one
Maybe I'm a lie in disguise
Maybe I'm angry
Cause I'm the one whose always wrong
Maybe I'm not the one whose so strong
But did you think about it
Did you pull it in and pull out
Could you live without me
Did you ever really have a doubt
But do you understand it baby
When you say it's over it's done
Maybe I'm not the one

So If you're gonna Leave
Yeah you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What you did and what you didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Yeah you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
On what it might have been

We can stand on reason
We can fight about all the things
This isn't for forever
This is more than a wedding ring
But do you understand it baby
When you say it's over it's done
Maybe I'm not the one

So If you're gonna leave
Yeah you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What I did and what I didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Yeah you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time

Whoa did it happen again
With the things that you wanted
for being a friend
How did it happen again
Just look onward baby
cause some day you might need a friend

So if you're gonna leave
Yeah you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What we did and what we didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Yeah you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
I ain't wasting no more time
On what it might have been

. . .


How long can we wait here
To say goodbye?
The words once they're spoken
Are words that we can't take

Back to where we were, before
Things got in the way
Life gets so confusing
When you know what you're loosing

You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best for you

We'll both regret the hurting
That we will do
You'll learn to forget me
And I'll try
I'll try to forget...

You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best

If you ever need a place that you can run to
I'll be here, I'll be here

You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best for you

You'd never admit, you played a part
In ripping us both in two
It's easier said, when it's ordinary life that got to you
Was it a waste of time to pull the line again
Now that it's gone
Now you're looking at your past like a broken glass
Puzzle from mistakes that you made

And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you want this
And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you still care

It's never enough, it's never done
The way that you want it to
It's easy to walk when you run from all the years they stole from you
Was it a waste of time to pull the line again
Now that it's gone
So now you're looking at your past like a broken glass
Puzzle of mistakes that you made

And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you want this
And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you still care

But when will you learn to make this over
Cause there's no harder life that I could lead
Than when I am with you

So you're looking at your past through a broken glass
Puzzle of mistakes that you made

And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you want this
And I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know that you still care

But when will you learn to make this over
Cause there's no harder life that I could lead
Than when I am with you
When will you learn to make this over
Cause it's alright, it's okay
Just don't say that you love me if I'm just some mistake you made

Oh my dear
What a race we have run
Oh my sweet
What a phase we will become
How do i go back to California?
How do i leave the green fields here?
Warm nights in your sweet magnolia
How do i leave the green fields here?
Oh my friends
What a long trip it's been
Many nights and the friends that we have made
How do i go back to California?
How do i leave the tall trees here?
Warm nights in your sweet magnolia
How do i leave the green fields?
How do i go back to California?
How do i leave the green fields here?
Warm nights in your sweet magnolia
How do i leave the green fields here?

How did I become responsible
Without ever taking responsibility
How did we become so ugly
Without ever changing anything

How do we get to be so ordinary
When did we lose ourselves in conversation
How do we get to be so
How do we get to be so ordinary

And how did you come to find me here
Twist the line, jump the rut to build again
And how did I become the smoking gun
Without ever loading anyone

How do we get to be so ordinary
When did we lose ourselves in conversation
How do we get to be so
How do we get to be so ordinary

What a lover would
I wanna get me some
I know it's alright babe
I know it's alright baby

You fear the mountain for the wood
Let you cut it down
You know you can't take it
You know you won't shake it now
Wonder what I did
You know you're gonna like it
I know it's the right babe
I know it's alright it's now
If you're gonna run
I wanna give you some
I know it's the right babe
I know it's the right baby

But how did you come to find me here

How do we get to be so ordinary
When did we lose ourselves in conversation
How do we get to be so
How do we get to be so ordinary

. . .


How did I become responsible
Without ever taking responsibility
How did we become so ugly
Without ever changing anything

How do we get to be so ordinary

And how did you come to find me here
Twist the line, jump the rut to build again
And how did I become the smoking gun
Without ever loading anyone

How do we get to be so ordinary

How do we get to be so
How do we get to be so ordinary

How do we get to be so
How do we get to be so ordinary

She's a wild one
But she has her reasons
She can take you in
Or just leave you freezing
She'll drag you deeper than you ever thought you could go
You're helpless without her, but somewhere inside you, you know
When she loves you
You'll do anything that she wants you to do
When she comes to you
You can't deny when she looks in your eyes
She's the one thing you don't understand
But you can't live without
When she loves you
When she loves you
Have you ever laid in the arms of your lover
Have you ever prayed the sun wouldn't come up
Cuz you know it would be just another morning
When she goes
And all you really know is
When she loves you
You'll do anything that she wants you to do
When she comes to you
You can't deny when she looks in your eyes
She's the one thing you don't understand
But you can't live without
When she loves you
When she loves you
When she loves you
When she loves you
When she loves you
When she loves you
When she loves you

Big blue skies and an open field
My right hand on the steering wheel
Two young lovers runnin' wild
We bought string and a brand new kite
We couldn't wait to watch it fly
But it flew too high, it flew too high

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'

So I took your hand and you took mine
And we waltzed together in time
But looking back I guess I didn't know
That I was in love and you were letting go
It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you
Seemed like the higher and higher we flew
You took off and I was made of stone
I was made of stone

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don't remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin'
That what's we learned about flyin'

From a Friend to a Stranger hows your life in your current situation ...
Did they hold you hostage ??
did they tell you lies??
just to add to your frustration Oh my heart...

(drums & instrumental)

So you travel all day and you travel hard
on a road to change your life
Not to give it all away but to sing your song
cause in the end that's when you arrive...

Oh My heart it brings me...
when i hear them call your name ...

Oh to see
inside myself
like i can see
but no one else could ever know
the way we'd end up here...

So from a Friend to a Stranger hows your life in your current situation
wish you happiness and freedom and i wish you life
when you reach your destination... your destination (x3)

(drums & Instrumental)

Cigarettes and gasoline
Morning seas they call to me
I'm pulling line in the early light
Being seventeen
Good things
Good things

Far away from the painted doors
In the town where I was born
Where my heroes came before me
And the crowds called out for more
Good things
Good things

I am trolling the ocean for the soul of my father
Heavy sand kicks water and makes it like a ghost
He's waiting for me
He's waiting for me

Holding in and letting go
Freezing hands and coffee burns
Steering straight in a heavy tide
All these things I've learned
Good things
Good things

I am trolling the ocean for the soul of my father
Heavy sand kicks water and makes it like a ghost
He's waiting for me
He's waiting for me

Cigarettes and gasoline
Morning seas they call to me
I'm pulling line in the early light
Being seventeen
Good things
Good things
