Can't Take It With You
03:42
|
|||
|
(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)
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, then 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
(BRIDGE)
Where is your treasure?
Where is your heart?
Where is your treasure?
Where is your heart?
(CH)
You can't take it with you when you go
No, no, no; you just got your soul, oh you know
You can't take it with you when you go

Seesaw
03:06
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
What a crazy game to play
Rising up a while, just to fall again
I'm flying high for now
But sometimes I push so hard, just to get off the ground
(PRECHORUS)
And there are highs and lows
You know it comes and goes
(CHORUS)
And I go back and forth, but I don't know
Just when I will land
Up and down, but it's alright
'Cause I know I will land on solid ground
(CH)
A new distraction every day
Gets me caught up in this world's ways
And it brings me down
Sometimes I feel so lost, waiting to be found
(PCH)
When I know I'm gonna fall
I wonder why I even try at all
(BRIDGE)
But I'm starting to see
What comes down must go up
And there will always be
Something to rise above
(CH)
So I go back and forth, but I don't know
Just when I will land
Up and down, but it's alright
'Cause I know
I'll go back and forth, but I don't know
Just when I will land
Up and down, but it's alright
'Cause I know
Yeah, I know I will land on solid ground

Lost in the Crowd
03:58
|
|||
|
(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?

So Much Sorrier
03:46
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
It isn't the first the time
That you've done this to me
And I don't know why it's taken
So long for me to see
"I never meant to hurt you"
That's what you always say
And I can see those tears in your eyes
But I won't wipe them away, no
(CHORUS)
There'll come a time
When I'm gone for good
And you'll be so much sorrier
Than you say you are now
(V)
So here we are now
Looks like we're talking again
I've heard you say you're sorry before
My patience is running thin
"Just one more chance"
Is that all you ask?
How many more can I give
Before it will be your last?
(CH)
There'll come a time
When I'm gone for good
And you'll be so much sorrier
Than you say you are now
There'll come a time
When I'm gone for good
And you'll be so much sorrier
Than you say you are now
There'll come a time
When I'm gone for good
And you'll be so much sorrier
Than you say you are now
Than you say you are
When I'm gone for good
So much sorrier
Than you say you are now
Than you say you are now
Than you say you are

(CHORUS)
The world is out to get you
They're watching everything you do
And planning out their every move
As they plot your doom
The world is out to get you
(VERSE)
It started out a long time ago
When you were just a boy
You never seemed to get your own way
Now time goes on, and you've grown
But things just never change
And so that old feeling still remains, to this day
(CH)
The world is out to get you
They're watching everything you do
And planning out their every move
The world is out to get you
(V)
Now on your way to work, running late
Because you overslept (just like last week)
You race on down the avenue
Weaving back and forth, between the lanes
But it's no use
Again the traffic will be your excuse for the truth
(CH)
The world is out to get you
They're watching everything you do
And planning out their every move
The world is out to get you
(BRIDGE)
You tell yourself so many times
That you start to believe it
You tell yourself so many times
That you start to believe
You tell yourself
You tell yourself
You tell yourself
And you start to believe it
(CH)
The world is out to get you
They're watching everything you do
And planning out their every move
As they plot your doom
They're planning out their every move
As they plot your doom
The world is out to get you
The world is out to get you
The world is out to get you

Scars
04:48
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Walking alone, she was
Coming home from the bars
"It's a simple mistake," he said
"I swear I'll never do it again"
He grabbed her arm; he left his mark
And now she's crying again, over him
And over so many things that he did
"It's time for an end," she said
As all these thoughts ran through her head
She wonders why she gave him so much time
(CHORUS)
She's got scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars
(V)
Now the months go on by, but he sticks around
He's the next call on the line, or a stranger in town
And he comes back in memories
That she pretends she couldn't see
But the evidence lies in her skin
(CH)
She's got scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars
(BRIDGE)
Every time I see them, I see him
Every time I see them, I see him
Every time I see them
(CH)
She's got scars on her face
And scars in her mind
And the healing takes
So much time
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those
Scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars

Death Row
03:26
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Do you wake up in the morning
And think, "It's just another day"?
When you think about tomorrow
"It's gonna turn out the same way"?
(CHORUS)
Like a prisoner on death row
And the shadows looming longer
Like a prisoner on death row
I can't take this any longer
(V)
And you think about the years gone by
With your head stuck in the dirt
Don't it make you stop and wonder
Why all the good days are just a blur?
(CH)
Like a prisoner on death row
And the shadows looming longer
Like a prisoner on death row
I can't take this any longer
(BRIDGE)
Where is your hope?
Is there anything left?
And are you running out of rope
Just waiting for your last breath?
(CH)
Like a prisoner on death row
And the shadows looming longer
Like a prisoner on death row
I can't take this any longer
Do you wake up in the morning
And think, "It's just another day"?

Writing a Book
03:40
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Everybody's doing it
So why can't I?
I'm sure if I look hard enough
I'm bound to find
Something to make you lay aside
Your $14.95
(CHORUS)
I'm writing a book
You're sure to read, oh yeah
And you will be hooked
On these pages from my life's diary
(V)
Now I'm looking back on my life
And there's nothing to write
And it seems less and less interesting
The harder I try
No fancy words could disguise
An ordinary guy
So I'll jump on a plane, or a bus, or a train
Never to be seen again
And they'll send out a party to search for me
Or whatever remains
And when they're all worried sick
I'll add the final kick
Oh, all the money I will earn
Whenever I return
(CH)
I'm writing a book
You're sure to read, oh yeah
And you'll want to look through
All my dark and dirty deeds
(BRIDGE)
But I'm so scared of what you'll think of me
I'm giving up my privacy
So you can read
I'm giving up my privacy
(CH)
I'm writing a book
I'm writing a book
But I'm so scared of what you'll think of me

Waiting
03:33
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I'm waiting for the time to come
Just waiting for someone; could it be you?
And I don't know how long it will take
For my heart to unbreak, but I'm waiting
And I'll wait for you, but not too long
So please come soon; don't leave me here all alone
(V)
And I'm waiting, but time's running out
Ans as it drags on, so does the doubt that I'll find you
'Cause I've been through it too many times
I've been used up and hung out to dry; still I'm waiting
And I wait for you, but it's been too long
So please come soon; don't leave me here all alone
(BRIDGE)
Every time I think I found the right one, it turns out wrong
I don't know why, but I'm still holding on.
And I'm waiting
Could it be you?

Come On Back
04:21
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
I have died a thousand deaths
On this bed where dreams once slept
Waking up to see you there
Underneath that blanket stare
(PRECHORUS)
And in my dreams
You are as you once were
Can you see?
I'm waiting for my girl
(CHORUS)
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
(V)
I look at you; you look at me
But I'm not sure just what you see
A smile creeps from your eyes
And it seems you recognize me
(PCH)
But is this real?
The moment comes and it's gone
Can you feel it?
I'm still holding on
(BRIDGE)
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
(CH)
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please, come on, come on, come on back
Please
Come on, come on back

Dawn
03:03
|
|||
|
(VERSE)
Dawn turns heads wherever she goes
And her charm is a force like gravity
They think she's got it all
She's even tall, but not too tall
And they wonder where she gets her energy
But she wants love, desperately
And it's true she could have any guy
She could if she wanted to
And yes, she's had quite a few
Yet still she pulls them in on her line
(CHORUS)
And they're waiting for Dawn
Beautiful and strong
Waiting for Dawn
To clear away the fog
(V)
She wakes up in the middle of the night
To the smell of sweat and stale cologne
She thinks, "I've tried so long,
And what could I be doing wrong?"
And wonders why she feels so alone
(CH)
Waiting for dawn
Beautiful and strong
Waiting for dawn
To clear away the fog
(BRIDGE)
And she looks at their clothes on the floor
Knows it will end just like before
And finds she's always wanting more
(CH)
Waiting for dawn
Beautiful and strong
Waiting for dawn
To clear away the fog
And they're waiting for dawn
Beautiful and strong
Waiting for dawn
To clear away

Long-Distance Love Song
06:18
|
|||
|
(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
