Lost Melody 02:47
Such a sweet melody That my mother sang when I was just a babe But now the melody is gone And it's been years since I looked in her eyes Seems like yesterday she was next to me But I was never good with goodbyes Such a sweet song she sang for me And though the melody's forgotten The beauty of her voice held true I still recall her face I think about her every day And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me Inside of me Such a sweet melody That my mother sang when I was just a little babe I still recall her face I think about her every day And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me Inside of me

Static 04:13
Running in circles never really got old Staying up all night, static on the radio And I love the feeling I get when I turn off my phone I was just thinking, sometimes it's nice to be alone But you had an illness, from it you never got well One more night in a personal prison cell And it never found you, in the joy that you've hoped for so long It was beside you, in a way it never did belong And I still can't say that I ever wrote a love song I was just pretending, but you knew all along You know it's all because we pretend to believe in trust It never helped me once, I can't recall Now I want to believe in all the things you said about me I believed them once, I can recall Now I know that we've been through it all Lost in the moment, I feel like I'm talking to myself Never thought an argument could affect my health Over and over, we fought for days on end It's finally over, sometimes it's nice to pretend And I still can't say that I ever wrote a love song I was just pretending, but you knew all along And now it's hard to believe in all the things we cannot see We knew when we were young, but now that's gone So now I'm holding on to this faith I never discuss We knew right from wrong but that was all Try so hard, but sometimes not at all

City Lights 02:04
All these winter days, keeping me inside Blinded by the city lights and days gone by Seemed like yesterday was never too far So unexpectedly, you walked into my arms I've been living a lie, but don't it seem What are lies to love if you don't know what they mean? Don't it seem strange enough, now that you're gone Keeping me up, I don't know if I can be that strong I've been chasing the light, fearing the night Scared of my own dreams I've been fooling myself, looking for love When I don't know what it means So give me those winter nights Give me those lonely times And maybe then, we'll meet again Under those city lights

When I'm alone with you I can feel the earth shake When I'm alone with you, I won't hesitate When I'm alone with you, I can feel the wind blow When I'm alone with you, you don't even know 'Cause I know that this feeling's only natural And I've known it all this time Oh I know it's only natural To say we'll be together all our lives When I'm alone with you, I forget my shadow When I'm alone with you, there's no shame or sorrow When I am alone with you, I see everything true When I'm alone with you, that's all I want to do 'Cause I know that this feeling's only natural And I've known it all this time Oh I know it's only natural For you to be mine When I'm alone with you I can feel the earth shake When I'm alone with you, I won't hesitate When I'm alone with you, I can feel the wind blow When I'm alone with you, you don't even know 'Cause I know that this feeling's only natural And I've known it all this time Oh I know it's only natural For you to be mine

I never thought I'd know you Like I know you know I never thought I'd kiss you Like I did just now And every time we meet It's lovely just to share your company I never thought I'd see you Like I did that night When I snuck into your room And you put out the light And every time we meet It's lovely just to share your company And it's all right If you don't want to see me every day That's just fine In the summer, in the shade We're just out having fun Your ridiculous ways Never hurt no one And every time we meet It's lovely just to share your company And when it's time For us to say goodbye I won't cry, I'll be just fine But if that day never comes And I hope it never does We'll be old in our rocking chairs Looking back to how it was And every year we spend Will be better than the last I'm so sure

April Rain 03:31
April rain has got me crying today And thinking that it's never gonna stop Sometimes I feel I'm not thankful For what I got I've been waiting for so long To see some sunshine in the sky But sometimes I think it just loves To pass me by It's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same It's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same Sometimes I feel I'm thinking crazy again But I realize it's all in my head And sometimes I think I'm just happy That I'm not dead And sometimes I worry every hour of the day For reasons I can't seem to understand And sometimes I think we all need A helping hand It's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same It's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same Maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm right But there's just one question I've got Will I make it through the night It's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same Oh it's these feelings That are never gonna change You can travel the whole wide world And it'll always be the same

I always missed the good times I never was around I try to live a good life But it's always crashing down They said they didn't know me Didn't recognize my face I've been trapped inside a postcard That never found its place But I don't mind 'Cause this world is spinning 'round I never tried To blend in with the crowd But that's all right I sit and watch the TV Flipping through shows I listen to the music I still love rock 'n' roll They always try to blame us How did it get like this? They always want to change us But I can see right through their tricks But I don't mind 'Cause this world is spinning 'round I never tried To blend in with the crowd But that's all right

Heard the news of your revelation It's good to know I'm not the only one without reason One hand washes the other God I know it's the only way to discover That I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet Oh I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet Blind man that says he can see Call it optimistic but he ain't got nothin' on me You say the world's gonna end If you were right then you'd be better off my friend Cause I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet Oh I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet If all of your memories forsake what you believe And all of your problems relate to one thing Then I can help you believe that We've got more in common than you think Cause I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet Oh I need a little bit of sympathy And I gotta get back on my feet

Expectations 03:16
Haven't always been the wrong man That's easy to see Haven't always been the right man But I know I can be Right this time if you give it a while Wrong if you're hurrying this I know there's a time limit on life But acting like it doesn't exist I'm taking my time I'm making it right These expectations are really getting to me These expectations are really getting to me Haven't always been the wrong man That's easy to see Haven't always been the right man But I know I can be Right this time if you give me a while Wrong if you're hurrying me Some say there's a time limit on love But I don't think there should ever be I'm taking my time I'm making it right These expectations are really getting to me These expectations are really getting to me I know what you're thinking “This isn't right” Go from the beginning Start it all over so everything will be all right Start it all over so everything will be all right Start it all over so everything will be all right I'm taking my time I'm making it right These expectations are really getting to me I'm taking my time I'm making it right These expectations are really getting to me These expectations are really getting to me

There’s a place where the evenings go When they’re up all night There’s a place where the shadows go When they’re sick of the night Where they go I don’t know Where they go I don’t know   There’s a man that’s been to both Heaven and hell He might be sitting right next to you You never can tell I’ve been waiting for so long To get that out of my head But every time I almost forget It comes right back to me instead   Where they go I don’t know Where they go I don’t want to know I don’t Want to know, I don't know Where they go I don't know
