Olympic Sprinter

Keep on feeding me line
I’m just getting used to the concept of time
Give me back a couple years
I wasn’t even done with those yet and now I’m here
But of course lets not be ridiculous now
They say a grown man doesn’t complain
But god dammit how I’d love to have a drink
Like we used to when we didn’t have half our brains
god dammit how I’d love to have a drink
Like we used to when we didn’t have half our brains
I wanna go deep into the pine trees
With a bottle of something fine and my guitar
And I want all my old friends to find me
So we can dance the night away
Under those bright New England stars
Wouldn’t you love to take a plane
Back through memory lane just for a few
If I could run back in time I’d be an olympic sprinter
Chasing after you
Come on we gotta go back into the woods
Get ourselves up to no damn good and make a lot of noise
Lets build a fire the size of the tallest building in Dubai
Because boys will always be boys
Wouldn’t you love to take a plane
Back through memory lane just for a few
If I could run back in time I’d be an olympic sprinter
Chasing after you
I’ve been falling farther and farther away
From everything I’ve known and loved
I’ve become the astronaut that stepped outside for the view
And found myself drifting off
Wouldn’t you love to take a plane
Back through memory lane just for a few
If I could run back in time I’d be an olympic sprinter
Chasing after you
Keep on feeding me line
I’m just getting used to the concept of time
Give me back a couple years
I wasn’t even done with those yet and now I’m here

Like a Boy
02:55
|
|||
When she steps into a room
Even the janitor drops his broom
Oh she’s got features like you wouldn’t believe
I’d build a bridge across the sea
Just to watch her cross the street
Smile and wave to me
And if she turns her back and leaves
And I can see her heart recede
I feel as useless as a winter coat
On a San Diego beach
Oh she’s got character for days
And if she stares at you too long
You just might start to bleed
Darling don’t take away
My only source of joy
I can’t apologize for how many times
I’ve acted like a boy
But I’ve been learning a bit
From every incident
And I swear someday
I’m gonna be damn near perfect for you
So if you see her passing by
And make it past just saying “Hi”
know you’re more fortunate
than 99% of other guys
Oh you’ve got luck on your side
Just don’t go wasting her time
Stand up tall, say what you mean
If you need some pointers
Don’t come to me
There’s no doubt that I’ll come out
With something totally obscene
Oh I’m real good like that you see
I’ll give her every single reason to flee
Darling don’t take away
My only source of joy
I can’t apologize for how many times
I’ve acted like a boy
But I’ve been learning a bit
From every incident
And I swear someday
I’m gonna be damn near perfect for you

About to Lose
03:17
|
|||
I’ve been hanging around
This town for so long
My feet are stuck to the ground
I’ve been screaming out
Behind these walls and
I’m not making a sound
I need out
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
I’ve been falling down
And this time I can’t find
The strength to pick up myself
I’ve been having my doubts
About wether or not
My train is coming through town
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
Now will you leave me
When you find out
My ship is sinking now
I think my clock must be slow
No matter how hard I try
I’m always late to the show
There’s no one here that I know
And every time I try to talk
I end up in a choke
I’m about to tell someone off
I can feel it heating up in my chest
Someone’s about to get the best of me
You ain’t gonna like me like this
I insist you resist the urge
Encouraging my will to submit
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
I’m about to lose
Control of my brain
It feels so damn good
Now will you leave me
When you find out
My ship is sinking now

My Lady Dressed Dark
03:00
|
|||
Oh my woman’s got a dark dress on
She’s afraid of the night
Even more scared of the dawn
She prays it won’t take long
to find the other side
Thunder’s been coming from
her own front lawn
She’s seen too many rights
Get turned into wrongs
She prays it won’t take long
to find the other side
And I don’t mean to be a bother miss
but can I have a little more time?
I’ve barely had but a taste of your face
and I know you’re only waiting in line
to fly
Oh, you’re making me stray from the program
Ain’t no one holding my hand now
If only I could create myself a world
Where this could all work out
Nails on a chalkboard
A chainsaw on rocks
Sandpaper to a razor-blade
Is the soundtrack to her thoughts
A million little accidents
Car crashes and ambulances
Pulverize the inside of her mind
And I don’t mean to be a bother miss
but can I have a little more time?
I’ve barely had but a taste of your face
and I know you’re only waiting in line
to fly
Oh, you’re making me stray from the program
Ain’t no one holding my hand now
If only I could create myself a world
Where this would all work out
Oh my woman’s got a dark dress on
And I don’t mean to be a bother miss,
and I know you’re only waiting in line
to fly

Into the Fire
04:41
|
|||
Someone’s going into the fire tonight
Someone’s going into the fire tonight
Help me out of this one my love
Help me out of this one my love
If I could be on my way
I swear I wouldn’t beg,
Fight, borrow or steal
I’ll go back from where I came
We could arrange some sort
of bargain or deal
I can see me slipping
off of this cliff tonight
I can see me slipping
off of this cliff tonight
Help me out of this one my love
Help me out of this one my love
Captain going down
with the ship tonight
Captain going down
with the ship tonight
Help me out of this one my love
Help me out of this one my love
If I could be on my way
I swear I wouldn’t beg,
Fight, borrow or steal
I’ll go back from where I came
We could arrange some sort
of bargain or deal
My will ain’t strong as it used to be
The nighttime’s taken ahold of me
And everybody ‘round me’s
watching just to see exactly
how bad I can hurt myself
This buildings going down
to the ground tonight
This buildings going down
to the ground tonight
Help me out of this one my love
Help me out of this one my love
Plane’s going straight
to the bottom of the lake
Plane’s going straight
to the bottom of the lake
Help me out of this one my love
Help me out of this one my love
If I could be on my way
I swear I wouldn’t beg,
Fight, borrow or steal
I’ll go back from where I came
We could arrange some sort
of bargain or deal
Bloods falling from my fist
and there’s a shattered salt shaker
on the table again
A quick flick of the wrist
A shit decision could’ve
cost me my closest friend
And in the morning when I wake
surprised and grateful that I’m not dead
I go and do it again
My will ain’t strong as it used to be
The nighttime’s taken ahold of me
And everybody ‘round me’s
watching just to see
Just to see exactly
how bad I can hurt myself
I’m going into the fire tonight
I’m going into the fire tonight
Can’t help me out of this one
No can’t me out of this
I wish I could’ve listened
but its too late now
I’m going head first
Into a night on the town

Shake Me Awake
03:04
|
|||
It’s been looking not so good
for a while now
Been taking all my nights
with a glass of the good stuff
Oh my god
When did this ride come to an end?
I’ve been on a balance beam
On a day to day basis
Skin’s got no color
All my fruits gone tasteless
Oh my love
When did we stop being good friends?
Can’t we go back to that
moment in time
You looked at me last
With your loving eyes
and I said you looked beautiful
You said you were glad you’re mine
Glad you’re mine
Now its been a chore
Not to be downright bored
with my work, Hell
staying up has been difficult enough
People talk, I don’t listen
Not on purpose at least
Im pretty sure that inside
I might still be asleep
And Ive been dodging
every bullet I can
I’m still coming up
looking like a half eaten man
Where did I go wrong?
Let me string you along
Somebody shake me awake
When the bad weathers gone

And we ain’t got much time

underneath the moonlight
Let me be your bodyguard
I’ll keep you safe until the sun comes up
Oh honey darlin’ theres a killer
on the loose tonight and he’s been
taking off with any pretty thing that he likes
Stay by my side I’ll keep you
safe until you see the light
There ain’t nothing for us out there
to hell with the rest of the world
Let em’ tangle up their own hair
We got our love to get uncurled
Whatever situation is blazing outside’s
got nothing to do with us
and as far as I’m concerned
all that matters tonight
is that we take advantage of our lust
Sugar darlin’ theres a killer
on the loose tonight
and he’s been taking lovers lives
underneath the moonlight
Let me be your bodyguard
I’ll keep you safe until the sun comes up
Oh honey darlin’ theres a killer
on the loose tonight and he’s been
taking off with any pretty thing that he likes
Stay by my side I’ll keep you
safe until you see the light
Whoa oh oh
Pull down the shades
and lock the door
Whoa oh oh
Tell me everything

We got a lot to learn about each other
And we ain’t got much time
We got a lot to learn about each other
I won’t wast yours don’t waste mine
Sugar darlin’ theres a killer
on the loose tonight
and he’s been taking lovers lives
underneath the moonlight
Let me be your bodyguard
I’ll keep you safe until the sun comes up
Oh honey darlin’ theres a killer
on the loose tonight and they’ve been saying
that he’s got the same face as mine
Stay by my side I’ll keep you
safe until you see the light

Monster in Me
03:30

Well if its all the same
I think I’d like to pass the blame
I wanna bottle it down
Why you wanna figure me out?
Come on lets turn it back around
This road only goes one way
and its straight out of town
Don’t go giving up now
How am I supposed to figure it out?
You know, I’ve always had a problem
with seeing things directly in front of me
I’m pretty sure that I’m going blind
but that don’t give me no reason
no that don’t give me no reason
to tear you apart like that
Well if it’s all the same
I think I’d like to
pick up the check and leave
we’ve done enough damage here
to leave these people busy for weeks
What do you say we sneak out tonight?
We’ll meet up at the park
at a quarter to midnight
Play king and queen of the world
for a very short moment in time
You know, I’ve always had a problem
with seeing things directly in front of me
I’m pretty sure that I’m going blind
but that don’t give me no reason
no that don’t give me no reason
to tear you apart like that
So if it’s all the same
I think I’ve had
enough of this game
Is there a button somewhere
I can push
to start it all over again?

Always
03:23
|

I don’t care wether you’re a
corner store creep
or you’re a petty thief
Is your luck hanging out on the line?
Let it be known
you can find always find hope
in the words that I write.
And if you find yourself
down in the dirt
you can’t find any worth
In the space right behind your eyes
Let the record show
you can take yourself home
in the words that I write
Because I know
you’ve got a heavy load already
you’ve been doing all you can
to keep your hand steady
and the last thing that I want to do
is break you down even more
It’s such a waste of time
waiting in the long lines
just to hear
the wrong lines over again
Its just a waste of time
taking anything besides
exactly what you want
to take away from life
So if you find yourself
sinking, you can’t stay afloat
and the boat you rode in on
blown way off coast
let these few and simple chords
guide you back to the shore
Because I know
you’ve got a heavy load already
you’ve been doing all you can
to keep your hand steady
and the last thing that I want to do
is break you down even more
All of us should meet up
and have one hell of a party
All of us should meet up
and have one hell of a damn good time
Because I know
you’ve got a heavy load already
you’ve been doing all you can
to keep your hand steady
and the last thing that I want to do
is break you down even more

Tenfold to You
03:19
|
|||
We danced on broken glass
Skipped hand in hand on the overpass
We shot into the distance
Kissing every single star along the way
Now what am I to say?
You're about to toss me anyway
But let me state my case
I know to you I'm only pocket change
Trust me I've got grace
And I think that you might see it if you stay
Oh girl I know I'm being rude
I'm naturally a fool
Everything I said back there,
I never meant to aim at you
Just keep me for one more night
I swear I'll make it up ten-fold to you
Ten-fold to you.
