Funk That You're In
03:21
|

|
Hey now, hey now, you’d be okay,
If you’d stay out, stay out, of your own way,
You could break out, break out,
Of the funk that you’re in
I bet we won’t hear from you today,
You’re probably gonna hide at home ashamed,
Of how you made a mess of everything, again
But, why you gotta be that way?
Do you really have to say those things?
It’s almost like you wanna be stuck in one place
I said, hey now, hey now, you’d be okay,
If you’d stay out, stay out, of your own way,
You could break out, break out,
Of the funk that you’re in
I’ve been watching your slow collapse for years,
You climb up to the top, just to slide right back here
All the while crying that it’s not fair
But, do you really have to drink so much?
& I don’t know, maybe don’t do all those drugs?
&, Give yourself a fighting chance for one,
To not mess it all up
You’ve got the world in the palm of your hand,
But you fumble every chance you get
You’re blessed with everything you need
But can’t hold it together long enough for anyone to see
I said, hey now, hey now, you’d be okay,
If you’d stay out, stay out, of your own way,
You could break out, break out,
Of the funk that you’re in

Kris Takes Her Time
02:50
|

|
Kris takes her time,
To brush her hair behind her ear
She says, I changed my mind,
I’m not staying here
We spend all our time,
Fighting
I don’t wanna waste my time,
Always hiding from you
Our time has come & gone,
But these things happen, they happen
And sure, we had out fun,
But these things happen,
They happen, all the time
Kris takes her time, to pack her bag,
Before leaving
She says, don’t think I’m mad,
I feel terrible
But I’ve spent my whole life,
Trying to be happy
& I don’t wanna waste my life,
‘Cause you don’t make me happy
Our time has come & gone,
But these things happen, they happen
And sure, we had out fun,
But these things happen,
They happen, all the time
So, she runs to someone else
Then, someone else
She says, our time has come & gone,
But these things happen, they happen
Yeah sure, we had out fun,
But these things happen,
They happen, all the time

Lie to Me
03:18
|
|||
|
Lie to me, & tell me everything’s alright
Make me believe, that we’re gonna be okay
‘Cause I don’t know, that we are
& I don’t feel, any solace in this new start
So, talk to me, Sometimes I need to hear your voice
Let’s make believe, that we made the right choice
‘Cause I don’t know, that we did
& I don’t think, there was ever a choice in it
No, I don’t know, even where we are
& I don’t feel, any solace in this new start

Numb
02:49
|
|||
|
I’m not a smart man, I’m not a dumb man,
I get by on what I know
I’m not a nice man, but I’m not a mean man,
I just wanna be left alone
I’m not asleep, but I’m not awake,
I’m just present mostly, these days
I’m not a sane man, but I’m not crazy,
I just dwell on certain things
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I’m not a rich man, I’m not a poor man,
I don’t need more, I don’t want less
I’m not a changed man, but I’m not the same man,
I was before you left
I’m not concerned, but I’m not carefree,
I keep my distance from unsafe things
I’m not a brave man, but I’m not afraid,
Of whatever becomes of me
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I find some, comfort in that,
I’m numb, since you walked out
I’m fine
I’ll be fine
I’m just fine
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I find some, comfort in that,
I’m numb, since you walked out

Your Light
03:25
|
|||
|
When I get lost in your eyes,
Your vacant stare shoots down my spine
Then my soul leaves my body,
To find your light
I’ll hold my breathe till I turn blue,
Lose consciousness to be one with you
Then my soul leaves my body,
To find your light
Then my soul leaves my body,
To find your light
Then my soul leaves my body,
To find your light
Then my soul leaves my body,
To find your light

September Blues
04:05
|
|||
|
As I left it started to rain
I made it home on a Sunday Afternoon,
You said, get your shit, ‘cause it’s time for you to move
Blindsided & caught off guard,
I started to gather my things, to take ‘em to the car,
When I asked, what the fuck did I even do?
You said, well I met someone, I’ve been messin’ around on you
Well, I must admit I didn’t have a clue,
But don’t feel bad babe, ‘cause I’ve been doin’ the same to you
&, As I lest it started to rain
I think I called ‘em September Blues,
But it carried through October, November, December, too
&, I can’t remember when the drought came,
But ever since I’ve been with you, it’s been driving me insane,
So, what the hell am I supposed to do?
You said, well I don’t care babe, ‘cause I want nothin’ to do with you
&, As I walked out the door, the clouds formed
I felt a peace that I had never felt before
&, As I left it started to rain

I Don't Wanna Die Young
03:28
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna die young,
Doesn’t mean it won’t happen,
Like maybe on the freeway,
When I’m driving a little too fast
And we all know,
Our time is coming
I should maybe do my part to push it back,
As long as I can
Until I’ve got somewhere I’ve gotta be
Until then, I’m gonna live each day as though it were my last
And hold on, to these moments as they pass
I don’t wanna die young,
But it’s probably gonna happen,
From the drugs I take,
With all my stupid friends
And we all know,
Our day is coming
Well I should probably do my best to push it back,
‘Cause we don’t know when
Until I see my friends again
Until then, I’m gonna live each day as though it were my last
And hold on, to these moments as they pass
Slow down, take the time to take it all in
And hold on, to all these moments as they pass
I’ll maybe take the long way and slow down,
And tell my friends I’ve gotta cut it out
Until then, I’m gonna live each day as though it were my last
Hold on, to these moments as they pass
Slow down, take the time to take it all in
Hold on, to all these moments as they pass

New Me
03:55
|
|||
|
I’ll settle down,
I’m being way too loud,
Disturbing everyone around,
That came from so far away
I have regrets,
That swell up in my chest,
Until there’s no room left,
Inside myself for anything else
Hell no,
I’ve gotta learn to let things go,
To free my tethered soul,
I’m gonna make that change in,
One, two, three, yeah,
How do you like the new me?
This heavy heart,
I’ve carried from the start,
Might finally come apart,
I think it’s time to set it down
My busy sleeve,
Shows everything about me,
All the secrets I can’t keep,
Inside myself for very long
Hell no,
I’ve gotta learn to let things go,
To free my tethered soul,
I’m gonna make that change in,
One, two, three, yeah,
How do you like the new me?
I’ll settle down,
I’m being way too loud
This heavy heart,
Might finally come apart
Hell no,
I’ve gotta learn to let things go,
To free my tethered soul,
I’m gonna make that change in,
One, two, three, yeah,
How do you like the new me?

Remember Who You Are
03:33
|
|||
|
You have waited for a long long time,
But not much has really changed
&, You’re still drinking at those same old bars,
Where everybody knows your name
You’re talking about who you’re supposed to be
Is anybody listening?
So, just remember,
That just because you want to,
It doesn’t mean you can,
&, Even though you hoped to,
It doesn’t mean you did
You’ve gotta remember who you are
You’re always hoping to make it out of town,
Even just for a few days
You think you need the time to clear your head,
But it never works out anyway
Still talking about who you’re supposed to be
But nobody’s listening?
So, just remember,
That just because you want to,
It doesn’t mean you can,
&, Even though you hoped to,
It doesn’t mean you did
You’ve gotta remember who you are
Just a failure from the start
&, You’ve been waiting for a long long time,
But nothing has ever changed
So, just remember,
That just because you want to,
It doesn’t mean you can,
&, Even though you hoped to,
It doesn’t mean you did
&, Just because you want to,
It doesn’t mean you can,
&, Even though you hoped to,
It doesn’t mean you did
You’ve gotta remember who you are

I Believe
03:04
|
|||
|
I’m gonna call in a favor,
To an old friend,
That I haven’t seen in years
I bet he thinks I need money,
I’m not that person anymore
I just want to bend his ear
‘Cause I believe, we’re all here for a reason,
& I believe, if you’re not careful you might miss it
& I believe, we’re all caught up in stupid shit,
Like politics & crucifix, to be mean to other people
I finally found my friend,
& he told me he had a kid,
But the mom won’t let him see her
I didn’t ask him what he did,
Or how he caught the blame for it,
I just wanted to get home to my kids
‘Cause I believe, we’re all here for a reason,
& I believe, if you’re not careful you might miss it
& I believe, we’re all caught up in stupid shit,
Like our social scenes, impossible dreams, to be mean to other people
It was hard to say good bye,
It was hard to say good bye,
It was hard to say good bye,
If he ever finds his way,
Then I think he’ll be okay
