Chasing My Tail:
I don’t need to be the luckiest man alive
I can sing my tunes, and fill my mouth with food
As for fame and money I should leave those ideas behind
I have everything I need, only myself left to find
Everyday I wake is I a new fight to find my soul
Cuz who knows where the wind will blow
And blaming myself has surely taken its toll
Everyday I wake is I a new fight to find my soul
Cuz who knows where the wind will blow
And chasing my tail has surely takin it’s toll
And blaming everyone has else has surely takin it’s toll
And blaming myself has else has surely takin it’s toll

One More Day

It’s all just moving so fast
Each new day faster than the last
Remember coming of age
And those long summer days strung together and blurred just like a time-lapse
One time I lost my shoes
I had the losing my shoes blues
And even though I was seven
My head was trapped and preserved in a jar of the terrible two’s
So give me one more day
I just need one more day
Cant you give me one more day
So I can find what it is after all these years I have been looking for
Isn’t it all written out
A Shakespeare play without a doubt
To many coincidences
And everyone’s got a big idea of what it’s all about
So give me one more day
I just need one more day
Wont you give me one more day
One more day
Cant you see that I need one more day
So I can find what it is after all these years I have been looking for
What have I been looking for
What am I looking for
So many photographs
Memories in my hands
And all these things to do
How can I stand to lose
One more day
One more day
I just need one more day
Cant you see that I need one more day
So I can find what it is after all these years I have been looking for
I just need
Cant you give me one more day
One more day
One more day
One more day
Will you come walk with me
Outside among the willow trees
I think this moment is it
If we don’t start living now I think we're gonna miss it

Other Life

Look into your other life
When it feels like nothin’s right
Your wedding day just flew right by
You want to laugh but instead you cry
You got this gig that pays just right
Now your money’s gone and you don’t know why
So you call your friends to fix your life
But it appears they only want to fight
Can you believe
What happens now become the past
Can you believe
Memory is a face that just won't last
Can you believe
Someday the sun will eat the earth
Can you believe
The love we give is all it’s worth
You thought you're life was just for fun
You feel seventeen but your thirty one
You packed your bag when things went wrong
You never thought you’d sing this song
Can you believe
What happens now become the past
Can you believe
Memory is a face that just won't last
Can you believe
Someday the sun will eat the earth
Can you believe
The love we give is all it’s worth
You go lookin for penny's in the sea
But what you find is you don't find anything
You try to put on your happy feet
But If nothings sad then nothings bittersweet
You want the ground to reach your feet
But if nothing’s sad than nothing’s bittersweet

Lizzie When Did You Know
03:52

You were gone long before then
That time you took it all and ran
You never said nothing
And I’m still left here wondering
Where did you go
Lizzy when did you know
You were free to be on your own
Counted the days now didn’t ya
Took stock of all my manipulations
You couldn’t have just said a sweet goodby
Now I'm left with all these bitter tears to cry
Where did you go
Lizzy when did you know
You were free to be
On your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
You can forget this love if you can
Tryin your best to hide blood stained hands
Don’t you remember me begging you please
I’ll be trying my best to haunt your memories
Where did you go
Lizzy when did you know
You were free to be
On your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own
To be on your own

It’s like I woke up in another life today
Cause' I don’t recognize myself
This empty house is filled with sorrow
And I can’t find a door to leave
Iv’e been dreaming of tomorrow
But It feels too late for me
So I sit next to the window
While the tears well up inside
Outside the sun pretends to smile
But it’s raining in my mind
Iv’e been dreaming of tomorrow
Where I can leave my past behind
I don’t belong here anymore
There’s this city down in Mexico
If I told you where then I wouldn’t go
Sweetest margaritas you’ve ever had
No opinions there to make you sad
No more dreaming of tomorrow
Cause' this moment’s not so bad
But I can’t stay out here forever
Paradise has it’s problems too
Too many open doors to stumble through
And I miss the things I used to do
Now I’m dreaming of tomorrow
And I hope that it’s with you
I don’t belong here anymore

Pine Tree

Sunrise
Comes at the right time
Just as the darkness from the night
Seems like it might eat us alive
Could be
That this moment is everything
Or that the world keeps on spinning
And time is really nothing at all
You and me
We’re not just some disease
Nor a pack of wolves
Or a godsent species
Someday
When we’re long gone
I hope love won’t die
And that the past won’t wash away
One time I had a dream
That I was talking to a pine tree
It said
When it comes to the heart don’t let it stagnate
Or keep things in till it’s too late
Most everyones got some heartache
So be careful who you hate
Sadly
We can be so ugly
Like a bitter wind can break your bones
So the stones we like to throw
Someday
When we’re long gone
I hope the world keeps on spinning
And that the past won’t wash away
