Lyrics For : Beg or Borrow Days

I'm gonna find myself a brand new skin
Make myself a heroine
Climb up from the depths of sin
Again again again
I'm gonna walk til I can't feel my feet
Up and down this narrow street
Make big plans while I'm asleep then watch them all come true

Cause I've changed my ways
And I won't go back to beg or borrow days
I've changed my ways
I know that everything will be ok

Not gonna listen to your bad advice
I've no time left for sacrifice
I won't smile pretty I won't play nice for you or anyone
I"m gonna drink black coffee all night long until I write the perfect song
I won't give up if chords are wrong and words don't fit or rhyme

Cause I've changed my ways and I won't go back to beg or borrow days
I've changed my ways and I know that everything will be ok

Oh I will live through days when I feel bad
Even if that makes you mad
Sometimes I think you'd be glad if I laid down and died
That's not going to happen see
cause I've made up my mind finally
I know that you disagree with everything

But I've changed my ways and I won't go back to beg or borrow days
I've changed my ways
And I know that everything will be ok
I know we're gonna find a way
And it really doesn't matter what you say

Lyrics For : Driving Through

You're feeling so sentimental
Passing the parking lots and frozen lakes
In your hometown
There's no one there to stop you from making the same mistakes

And you've been driving all day with the sun in your eyes
Living dead peoples former lives
You ask them but they do not reply

But sometimes they speak to you through songs
And you have got the radio turned on
They're singing," Hallelujah, Hallelu- Oh I love you, I love you
Hallelujah Hallelu - But is that the best you can do...Is this the best that you can do.?.."

The dj is playing all of American Water today
It helps a little driving through the places where you used to stay
The one with the long driveway
The one with the big red gate
The one you left that final fateful day

And here it comes that perfect song
The one where people go and then they're gone
I know you'd love me anyway
I know you'd love me anyway
But I wanna do better for you
I wanna do better in every way

Then I can go back and smile at all I see
I'll go back and I will smile at everything
It will be easy on me
It will be so easy on me
It will be so easy on everybody

Lyrics For : The Color and the Light

When I asked you the way out of
here
You told me that nothing you could say would make me disappear
I guess I knew that you were right
So we had a drink and then a fight
It lasted the better part of the night

I told you that I wanted to be like the color and the light
Filling up everything with the brightest kind of bright
You just smiled at me the way you do
When you don't wanna break my heart in two
And I keep looking back to you

If we take three steps forward, then a couple back
We'll still be ahead of the game, if not quite on track
Color fades and light does bend
But you will always be my friend
Until the bitter end

Lyrics For : Hole In The Road

There's a hole in the road
I forget every time
And the impact it shocks me
Right out of my mind
When I'm thinking of you
And the way that you left
Leaving all of us wishing
We had taken that step
And said hello, said we cared
Hadn't been frozen scared
By a beauty so painful
And underprepared to endure

And if your memory had a timeline
I'd know right where to begin
Driving down that road in Georgia
When the first chords started in
They hit me like an arrow
A ray of light from the sun
And I didn't know I was a target
'Til you made me feel like one
And I was hit in the heart
A bright blue shot in the dark
And I knew right then what I had to end
And what I had to start

It's only been one week
Who knows how many will follow
I can only hope that the air in this room becomes a little bit easier to swallow
Maybe tomorrow

There's a hole in the road
And I guess I'm not surprised
Even though I thought they'd fixed it since the last time we drove by
But you can never be too careful
Keep your eyes open wide
And maybe next time you'll remember to remember every time
And I hope that you're okay
And I'm sorry that you couldn't stay
And if I ever have the chance again
I'll know exactly what to say

Lyrics For : Saved

Tears well up inside a dream
A picture that I've never seen in waking life
It's you and he and a guitar
Shining like the northern star

And I know that I'm saved
I know that I'm saved

Four years past the dreams still come
But I no longer hide and run into the light
Just keep my eyes closed tight to see everything you are to me

And I know that I'm saved
I know that I'm saved
Oh by you, your truth
And I don't need any kind of proof

Summer knows no sympathy
Its heat that won't relinquish me from that day
Life and death a brittle mess
It won't let go or let me rest

I know that I'm saved
I know that I'm saved
I know that I'm saved

Lyrics For : Yer Copout

There's a million ways to get lost and never find your way out
A million ways to get water within an August draught
If you don't have the wherewithal to figure that one out
You'd better give it up right now
And settle in with yer copout

These times are really tough there is pain an there is sorrow
there's always time to lend and there is money you can borrow
So why do today what you can always do tomorrow
Just let someone else put their foot forward, you will follow today

And if tomorrow is the sun
We are stuck here on the moon
And there is nobody around who's gonna make you leave this room
And you don't wanna go, you don't wanna go
Cause you don't wanna know

There's a million ways to get lost and never find your way out
When the things you do say nothing to define you're about
The devil's got his hooks in you - you're his without a doubt
You better give it up right now
And settle in with yer copout

Lyrics For : Ready To Go

If you wanna push me I think I'm ready to go
If you wanna blame me I think I'm ready to know
What you really think of me
What you really want to see
And don't

If you wanna hurt me I think I'm ready for pain
If you wanna shame me it's a pretty easy game
All you have to do is say what you really want to say and don't

And if you really want to get through to me
I think the time is coming soon
I can feel the opening
I can feel the opening in me

If you wanna trust me but just don't think that you can
If you wanna fix me go ahead we'll make a plan

I know what you want to say
I know what you need to say
And don't

Lyrics For : Why Don't You Do

Why don't you do the thing you've been talking about today
You've got 7 hours left before we fly away

I'll pack your bags while you work
And I will hold your hand on the plane
And then I'll watch the write the same lines
Over and over again
Just to keep your mind sane

Why don't you do the thing you've been talking about for so long?
Why don't you do it today?
Why don't you do it today?

We're all here for you
And we all love you
We're all here for you
And we all know why you do what you do

Lyrics For : Million Dollar Smile

Million dollar smile where are you now?
I've got a couple thousand in my mouth
But you are so mean
and troubled grey
You are you are so mean and troubled....

Always the perfect ending to the perfect day
My car break down you pick me up on your way
But you are you are so mean and troubled greay
You are you are so mean and trouble....

you are talking
you are moving so slow
there is nothing more to learn from you
you told it all

Million dollar smile where are you now?
I keep a photograph of you in my crown
But you are you are so mean and troubled grey
You are you are so mean and trouble

Lyrics For : The Thought Of You

I wrote a letter to you today
You'll never get it cause I threw it away
I asked forgiveness for trying to make you stay
But I knew you didn't want to go
But it was still wrong this I know

It's been a long time since I've seen your face
I kind of hope that we never get to that place
I like to think that we are running our own race
In some kind of parallel divide
The kind that real life can't provide
But I will always think you lied

And this how I think of you
When I'm alone in a stranger's room
In a southern we once drove through
So many years ago
So I just thought I wouldn't let you know

I wrote a letter there was so much to say
I wrote in circles til the words became a game to play
And I guess I knew that it would never reach you anyway
Cause my love never was for you
Just for something that I thought you knew
About how winners sometimes lose
And losers never really have to choose

And that was never quite so clear
As when you'd come and then just disappear
And you are still my biggest fear
And I have got a few
But nothing scares me like you do
No nothing scares me like the thought of you

Lyrics For : Hopeful

There's a light through the window
in our living room and it makes me smile
And you are sleeping in the bedroom and I'm still half asleep myself
It is early in the morning and it's your day off but I've got to go
I wish that I could stay here with you all day

Pretty soon the stars and moon
will come back and bring the night
pretty soon we'll sing a tune that will make the day feel alright
We are hopeful, full of hope tonight

I've got this friend that I see sometimes
Not as much as I'd really like
We used to hang around and play our songs until they played themselves

I know its useless to discriminate between the things you love and the things you hate
It doesn't get you any closer to what you really want
So I tell my friend I loved him then
And I love him even more today
And it feels good just having said the thing that I want to say
I'm so grateful
Cause I know that that's the only way

Pretty soon the stars and moon will come back and bring the night
Pretty soon we'll sing a tune that will make the day feel alright
We are hopeful, full of hope tonight
