Can You Hear the Music?
05:36
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
The day is spent, and so are you
The sun retires for the night
You drag yourself up to your room
Hit the bed, and close your eyes
Do you only dream
Whenever you're asleep?
(CHORUS)
Can you hear the music?
Can you hear the music?
(V)
Morning comes much too soon
You take a breath and face the day
It's overfilled with things to do
And all you want is to get away
Could you just slow down
Enough to catch the sound?
(CH)
Can you hear the music?
Can you hear the music any more?
(BR)
It's all around
It's all around
It's all around you
(CH)
Can you hear the music?
Can you hear the music any more?
Can you hear the music?
Can you hear the music?

Superstition
06:24
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
(CHORUS)
'Cause when you believe in things you know you just don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no, no, no
(V)
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't want to save me, sad is my song
(CH)
When you believe in things you know you just don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
(V)
Very superstitious, there's nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, you know the devil's on his way
Thirteen-month-old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, know the good things in your past
(CH)
'Cause when you believe in things you know you just don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the
Superstition ain't the
Superstition ain't the way

Can't Take It With You
05:10
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
You're gonna die one of these days
You may not like it, but it's true just the same
And so am I, one of these days
And then we'll both be gone, for someone to take our place
(PRECHORUS)
And all the stuff that we saved up
Will be reused by someone else
And the cycle will repeat, because
(CHORUS)
You can't take it with you when you go
You just got your soul; you just got your soul, oh you know
You can't take it with you when you go
No, you can't take it with you when you go
(V)
And you're holding on a little too tight
To the things that just don't matter, but you fool yourself they might
And your grip is just a little too tight
And if you squeeze too hard, you force out the life
(PCH)
And before too long, you're broken down
And you're just left there, holding on
So don't grow too attached, because
(CH)
You can't take it with you when you go
You just got your soul; you just got your soul, oh you know
You can't take it with you when you go
No, you can't take it with you when you go
You can't take it with you when you go
You just got your soul; you just got your soul, oh you know
You can't take it with you when you go
No, you can't take it with you when you go, no, no, no, no
(BRIDGE)
Where is your treasure?
Where is your heart?
Where is your treasure?
Where is your heart?
You can't take it with you when you go, oh no

Lost in the Crowd
06:13
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
The world was yours when you were young
You sang your songs with a golden tongue
And saw no need to take stock
Banking on your charm and luck
But it's not so easy now
The world has grown, and you feel small
And it's hard to keep the faith
When you're just trying to find your way
(CHORUS)
Are you lost in the crowd?
Are you looking around for love?
Have you been let down?
Is there no one around to pick you up?
(V)
Back home, you're a star
But here no one cares who you are
And that's just the way it goes
When you're the one that no one knows
(CH)
Are you lost in the crowd?
Are you looking around for love?
Have you been let down?
Is there no one around to pick you up?
Are you lost in the crowd?
Have you been let down?
Are you lost in the crowd?
Are you looking around for love?
Have you been let down?
Is there no one around to pick you up?

Carefree Past
05:10
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Do you ever look back
And wonder how you last track
Of all of the years in your life?
I'm counting mine, and doing just that
Doing just that
Now, suddenly I'm eight
And my mom is driving us to Roll R Skate
And all of these third grade wheels, the spin round and round
To the sound of Whitney Houston in her better days
Oh, I'm sorry, Whitney, you must forgive me
(PRECHORUS)
Now, just like Miss Houston
We thought this time would last
But all these third graders
We grew up too fast
(CHORUS)
Now those days are gone
And trapped in photographs
And I'm stuck right here
I'm just doing the math
I'm looking back on my carefree past
(V)
Isn't it funny how things change?
How old joys degenerate?
Oh, I remember, every day without fail
I'd run out to get the mail, hoping I would see my name
And if the phone should ring
I'd be the first to pick it up, "Miller residence, Jeff speaking"
And I hope your call is for me
Oh, can't you see, how it all revolves around me?
(PCH)
But I don't feel the same today
With the calls and the mail that come my way
They just remind me
(CH)
That those days are gone
Trapped in photographs
And I'm stuck right here
I'm just doing the math
I'm looking back on my carefree past
(BRIDGE)
Past all the years
Past all the tears, cried for nothing
I thought it was something way back then
But I look at it now
I just laugh out loud at how careless my past really was
And now it's all so clear to me
How it never was or will be
All about me
(CHORUS)
Those days are gone
And trapped in photographs
And I'm stuck right here
But I'm okay with that
I'm looking back on my carefree past
I'm just looking back on my carefree past

I Love You
09:14
|
|||
|
(Verse)
Three little words
But they mean so much
And how I feel about you right now
Is what they describe when I say
(Chorus)
I Love You
You know I Love You
Oooh, you know I Love You
Oh, I Love You
(V)
You can do me wrong
But I'll still love you, all along
I don't know how, and I don't why
But those three little words, they still apply
(CH)
I Love You
You know I Love You
Oooh, you know I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
You know I Love You
Hey, you know I Love You
I Love You

Trying to be Cool
05:05
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Remember when
We were just friends
But I was so crazy for you?
And I thought you knew
So I took a chance
And asked you to our school dance
That was last spring
You were my everything
I was your April fool
And each day at school
I'd stop and think
And wonder what you were doing
(PRECHORUS)
But summer has come and gone
And it seems so long
Since we had the talk
I was left in shock
(CHORUS)
I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do without you
(V)
I walk through the halls
And stare at the walls
So I can't see you pass by
But as much as I try
It's my tragic flaw
I have to turn and watch
And to my surprise
You're there with Mike Grimes
How quickly he's taken my place
But I've got to save face
I tell my friends that it's fine
That I really don't mind
(PCH)
But it tears me up inside
And though I try to hide
I can't escape the truth
I'm not over you
(CH)
I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do
I'm still sitting at the back of the bus on the way back home
And I still eat my lunch with the hip kids in the cafeteria
I'm still trying to be cool
But baby, it's all I can do without you

Peter
04:21
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Peter walked away
He said he had some work to do
So he spent the day
Doing work
And we went on our way
We knew that there was fun to have
And so we spent the day
Having fun
(CHORUS)
Oh Peter, why do you always hide away?
Whenever we go out, you can't come play
Peter, why so serious
All the time?
(V)
No one knows him well
I think he spends his time alone
And so it's hard to tell
Who he is
But some day, somehow
We're gonna get to the bottom of this
And then we'll figure out
Who Peter is
(CH)
Oh Peter, why do you always hide away?
Whenever we go out, you can't come play
Peter, why so serious
All the time?
(BRIDGE)
One night we're going to drive to Peter's house
With a bag, and then we'll kidnap him
And then we'll stick him in the bag, and throw the bag in the trunk
And drive off to some place fun
(CH)
Peter, why do you always hide away?
Whenever we go out, you can't come play
Peter, why so serious
All the time?
Peter, why do you always hide away?
Whenever we go out, you can't come play
Peter, why so serious
All the time?
Some day, somehow
Some day, somehow

Little Things
06:57
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
You got that song running through my head
Won't go away; oh, no, no
And I like to pretend
That I hate it, but I don't
And you say "What's going on"
When you answer the phone, every time
And I just have to laugh
Before I say "hello"
(PRECHORUS)
'Cause that's the way it is with you
I poke fun at the things you do
But it don't mean that I mind
So please don't you ever change
Even though I sometimes think you're strange
I hope you know I've come to find that
(CHORUS)
It 's the little things that you do
That make me fall in love with you
Yeah, it's those little things
That make you who you are
(V)
Now you're so down to earth
You must be two foot five (wait, that's not right)
But I know if I'm at my worst
You can make things right (and that's no lie)
And you have a way
To put me at ease
And I feel okay
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
(PCH)
'Cause I want to let you know how I feel
I hope those feelings grow
But I've just got to be sure
So please don't hold back
I want you to know that
I would love to learn more
(BRIDGE)
Of those little things
Those little things
(CH)
'Cause it's the little things that you
That make me fall in love with you
Yeah, it's those little things
That make you who, oh
Little things that you do
That make me fall in love with you
Yeah, it's those little things
That make you who you are

Long-Distance Love Song
06:50
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I'm driving over the speed limit
I just want to reach that finish line
It always seems to take too much time
Going up 79
And I know you're there, waiting for me
And I can't wait to see you again
Oh baby, how long has it been?
(PRECHORUS)
But in another day or two
You know I will have to leave
Until we are together again
I'll be a kid on Christmas Eve
(CHORUS)
I wish I could be with you, just to hold you
And I hope you will remember the things I told you
The distance sometimes keeps us apart
But you will never be too far from me
(V)
We've got it down; we see each other every couple of weeks
And in between we get to speak on the telephone
You say that two weeks goes by so slow
(PCH)
But when you start to feel this way
And it seems it's been too long
Know that you still hold my heart
And hear me sing this song
(CH)
I wish I could be with you, just to hold you
And I hope you will remember the things I told you
The distance sometimes keeps us apart
But you will never be too far from me
I wish I could be with you, just to hold you
And I hope you will remember the things I told you
The distance sometimes keeps us apart
But you will never be too far from me

Conspirators
02:25
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I never want to be alone again
Not ever since I found you as my friend
I never want the days and nights with you to end
It took forever but now I see
Just how wonderful life can be
Whenever I'm with you, and you're right there
With me
With me, yeah
Forever we will be
We'll be, yeah
Together Happily
(V)
Now everybody just looks at us
They think there must be some cover-up
How could two people be so much
In love
In love
I don't understand it much myself
But we're in love
Oooooh
(V)
I never want to be alone again
Not ever since I found you as my friend
I never want the days and nights with you to end
I never want the days and nights with you to end
I never want the days and nights with you to end

Sight for Sore Eyes
05:00
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Oh, another show in another town
And the evening's slow, when you're not around
And these roads at night, they all look the same
And my eyes will fight to stay open
So I call you up, to hear your voice
And I miss your touch, but I have no choice
So we'll say goodnight a hundred times, before I arrive
At the next home, where I will lay my head
And I should brush my teeth before I go to bed
But I think I'll fall asleep, and dream of you instead
You'll be a sight for sore eyes
(V)
And the shows go on, just like the roads
And I sing my songs to people I don't really know
And I count the days going down the coast
As my time away, well it draws to a close
And it's eight or nine hundred miles before I arrive
Back home, where I will see your face
And the headlights burn my eyes, on the interstate
But you know I've got to try and keep my pace
You'll be a sight for sore eyes
|

I've Got to Go
03:26
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I've got to go
I'm sorry that I did not let you know
Any sooner
It came up on me
Like a thief in the night
Now I know the time was right
(BRIDGE)
I long to see you again
I know I will see you soon my friend
We'll sit and talk, when I come back
(V)
But as for now
I don't have the words to tell you how
My heart is aching
They say change is good
So I guess that I should be moving on
Just one last song tonight
(BR)
But I long to see you again
And I know I will see you soon my friend
We'll paint the town when I come around
(V)
But I've got to go
I'm sorry that I did not let you know
Any sooner

Boys
04:15
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I've been told when a boy kiss a girl
They take a trip around the world
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
Oh, they say you do
(V)
Now, my girl says when I kiss her lips
She gets a thrill through her fingertips
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
She says she do
(CHORUS)
Well I talk about boys
Don't you know I mean boys
Well I talk about boys now
Oooh, yeah
You know I talk about boys now
What a bundle of joy
(VERSE)
My girl says when I kiss her lips
