A Reason 04:16
lyrics

There must have been a reason why I did not listen to You when you said that my chosen path was the most Difficult of all - there must have been, must have been A reason in my irrational action, My international affairs, My unhealthy relationships, My stubbornness, we covered this In our last heart to heart. There must have been, There must have been, There must have been A reason for the tragedy that hit your home - Made you roam, turned you around, Stood your ground, despite your elders' Words of warning - you listened to Something else from inside No one else could see why You need to be, need to be you And no one else. There must be, There must be, There must be A reason that I continue to to look For it - maybe in the wrong places, But how am I to know if I don't go? There must be, there must be A reason I'm confined to decide between Prestige and integrity, Happiness and money, Acquaintances and my family, My friends and my dreams. There must have been, There must have been, There must have been a reason why I didn't listen to you, I didn't listen to you, I didn't listen to you, I didn't listen to you.

Biker Boy 03:12
lyrics

I'm gonna ride my bike down the one avenue. You work in finance And it's a romantic view. I'm gonna wheel on up to the bar beneath the bridge. My favorite bartender - She packs a romantic punch. I'm gonna lock it up to the modern work of street art. Modern museum - And there's a romantic show. I'm gonna ride to your show just across the river And get there real fast, And it's a romantic ride. I'm gonna wheel freely in the city by the sea And look around me. King of the jungle - And it's a romantic view.

You'll See 03:07
lyrics

She's patient for you, why rush through what you've got to do? The challenge at hand might seem like a small grain of sand - Take care of it because you know she won't go anywhere. You've got things to do, why stew in yesterday's brew? She'll be waiting for you when your work is through my boy, She'll be waiting my friend at the end of the day, you'll see. Don't get bored my friend, you will thrive when you take the first Dive into unknowns that I've heard bring you to know your alive. He'll tell you you're tired, that you got no fire, your brain is De-wired, but he's a liar. She'll be waiting for you when your work is through my boy, She'll be waiting my friend at the end of the day, you'll see. She'll be feeling your love when you flee across the see, She'll be feeling your glow when the snow falls all around, She's creating a life while she's waiting for you, celebrating for you When your work is through my boy. When your day is won, when you watch the sunset, When you come undone, my son. She'll be waiting for you when your work is through my boy, She'll be waiting my friend at the end of the day, you'll see. You'll see, you'll see.

Cellar Door 03:24
lyrics

You and I have things we need to do before we're through. When you're finished finding you, you know where I'll be. A bottle of wine behind the cellar door, A wheel of cheese from your local store. It's a shame that lovers slowly become demystified, But we can take the steps to make it not this way my dear. The scent of green from your bedroom drawer, A flickered flame lighting up the floor. You and I have things we need to do before we're through. When you're finished finding you, you know where I'll be.

Island Girl 03:54
lyrics

Lies, lies lollypopping in your mouth like the Raindrops on your flip flops. Flies, flies, buzzing in my brain, the Bonfire at the break of dawn. Skies, skies, all that I can see, a Dizzy fall in the spring. Eyes, eyes, fooling me again, a Hypnotist, i remember this. I like being under the impression that I Love you. Lights, lights, flicker in my dreams, someone's Trying to turn in the truth. Fights, fights, but not a word was said, lips so Silent, never so violent. Rights, rights, you don't have the right to tell Me who you think I need to be. Night after night, would have been a waste if I'd Let it go for just one more. I like writing you in the recession about the New me, and I'm Glad and, that's my confession to be Without you, please Don't shoot the messenger when you Find out, you Taught me the most important lesson. I like writing you in the recession about the New me, and I'm Glad and, that's my confession to be Without you, please Don't kill the messenger when you Find out it was Lies, lies, lollypopping in your mouth, but I Believe the sweetness never Left you, and it's Pain, but a blessing to Be gone, and it Might have been the last session that I'll have, I like Writing you in the recession about the New me, and I'm Glad, and that's my confession to be Without you, please Don't shoot the messenger when you Find out, please don't shoot the messenger when you Find out, you Taught me the most important lesson.

Restless 03:57

My father's soul is in me Oh, the wind, the sand, the sea. My father's soul is inside, Oh, the moon, the ocean tide. My father's voice in my words, Oh, the breeze, the rain, the birds. My father's voice in my song, Oh, the flood, the blood belong. My mother feel his spirit, Sail away, fly with it. My momma feel his eyes, Sail away, momma fly. My momma feel his eyes, Sail away, fly with it. My momma feel his eyes, Sail away, fly with it. The grave is restless, Not yet at peace. The grave is restless, Not yet at peace. The night, the night, the night, The deep blue night. The boy is restless, Not yet at peace. The boy is restless, Not yet at peace.

Weaponry 02:54

Weaponry engineer, Thought you took an oath. Weaponry engineer, Thought you took an oath Not to make machines that kill, injure, both. So you went to school, What did you learn? So you went to school, What did you learn? Did you miss the semester the others learned the rule? I know you've got to eat, At the expense of a life you'll work for your treat. Weaponry, we can all change, We can all change. Weaponry engineer, Do you like what you do? Do you like what you do?

Bouncy Ball 04:25

What did you hope to find through Another man like me? To live outside yourself for just a Little time? To unload the weight of yourself, whatever It may be? And when your alone, what Will you be? Lighter than air, No substance at all, Lighter than air, No substance at all, A bouncy ball. Bouncing off another man like he Controls your fate, As if another really knows what you are Supposed to do, And while I try to do what I am here to do, I Find myself fighting off criminals on My estate. Dependent or dependable, either or, in the Former state, you'll remain Lighter than air, No substance at all, Lighter than air No substance at all, Lighter than air, No substance at all, Lighter than air, No substance at all, A bouncy ball. I know I've been hard on you, Hard on you, hard on you, But it's good for you, Good for you, good for you, good for you, And if you really need, Really need, really need, really need, I will lie with you, Stand with you, walk with you, run with you, Run with you, run with you, run with you, Run.

What will you say The day you meet your maker? What will you do when you Can no longer fake it? Momma, your coming home. Momma, your coming home. What will you do when Time is no longer? What will you do when you must be stronger? Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home. What will you say The day you meet your maker? What will you do when you Can no longer fake it? What will you say The day you meet your maker? What will you do when you Can no longer fake it? Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home, Momma, your coming home.

On Your Own 04:22
lyrics

Time was not enough for you, You wanted something more, You sailed to my shore, What you were looking for Wasn't there, wasn't there, wasn't there. And I can tell that you, love, Wherever you may go, Whoever you know, Seldom hear the word no, You know You came to me, came to me on your Own accord, on your own accord, Came to me on your own accord, On your own. The frown on your weeping face As I walk to my train Reminds me of pain That I don't want again. You think you can come in here girl And simply have your say, Well I've been done this way, Well not again today, Today You came to me, came to me on your Own accord, on your own accord, On your own accord, on your own, On your own accord. My time was not enough for you, You wanted something more, You sailed to my shore, What you were looking for wasn't there, Wasn't there, wasn't there. You came to me on your own accord, on your Own accord, your own accord, On your own, on your own, On your own, on your own, On your own, on your own, On your own, on your own, On your own.
