Money I Don’t Own You nearly sent me to the brink After the ending started, whoa oh When you find out what you think About what I wanted You’ll have to let me know Because time equals money And you know it’s not funny When nobody’s got the time to spend it And this gig is nothing more than an old stale acquaintance And you know that it’s time to unfriend it Go shopping for a new kitchen sink Yeah if I bought it You’d probably let me go But without that kitchen sink Yeah what you started Can’t wash my hands of anyhow Time equals money And you know it’s not funny When nobody’s got the time to spend it And this gig is nothing more than an old stale acquaintance And you know that it’s time to unfriend it Because time equals money And you know it’s not funny When nobody’s got the time to spend it And this gig is nothing more than an old stale acquaintance And you know that it’s time to unfriend it

Dreaming The Life I’m gearing up for a late night after a long day Making sense of a feeling I’ve never known Bottle fed, grain fed, growing pains, nose bled You start to wonder if it’s overblown It’s like the kids like to say… I’m riding coattails Slowly fading away Steam engine with no rails Just a dollar to play It’s never hip to say… The old college try’s never tried and tested Leaving my watermark on a desert plain Try to do something that’ll never be bested Find my umbrella long after the rain It’s like the kids like to say…. I’m flying coach class Living on water and bread Crawl through the fire and tall grass Well over my head It’s never hip to say… It’s like the kids like to say… I’m flying coach class Living on water and bread Crawl through the fire and tall grass Well over my head It’s never hip to say…

Burn Away 03:23
Burn Away I’ve been waiting So I’ll sit and write a while A whole lot of something I just throw it on the pile If you’ve got wheels I think we’ll take a spin Just roll the top down as the clouds come in You take the long way ‘round We pick up speed on every corner I could be safe and sound home in my bed Isn’t that nice? I’m bound to lose my mind if I don’t concentrate On every time I inspirate Only today Step on it man Burn away I’ve been walking Through this lonely building I know The voices are talking And about this time I let go If you’ve got matches I think we’ll throw one in Let’s see what hatches fire and gasoline You take the long way ‘round We pick up speed on every corner I could be safe and sound home in my bed Isn’t that nice? I’m bound to lose my mind if I don’t concentrate On every time I inspirate Only today Step on it man Burn away

Looking Bad/Feeling Worse Standing by the side of the tracks I got sidetracked and lost my train of thought And missed my train Story of my life it seems Intentions are good but only in dreams When I wake up the pieces don’t fit So I tell myself to just roll with it All night Well my voice is coarse, my eyes not stable And I’ll ride a dead horse ‘til I’m not able And my hands are tied, my boots are shaking Since the deal with the devil my hand was making These are the sort of things I’ve learned to accept Don’t recall the last time I was first I’m looking bad and feeling worse Try to speak my thoughts to you But every time my lips are pursed Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse Confident I seem, high self-esteem But subconsciously, a self-conscious me Looking for a lucky coin but the last one’s tossed Now I search for a map just to get lost Just to get lost now Don’t recall the last time I was first I’m looking bad and feeling worse Try to speak my thoughts to you But every time my lips are pursed Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse You’re pretty, and I’m a good-looking man But I’m pretty good at looking bad Don’t recall the last time I was first I’m looking bad and feeling worse Try to speak my thoughts to you But every time my lips are pursed Now I’m looking bad and feeling worse

Nowhere But Up You and me, two of a kind We’ve been circling far too long I’ve been searching inside of myself But that which I lack I found in somebody else After the storm, I’m coming home It’ll be you and me together and I’ll keep you warm It’s a long way to ground just don’t look down No half-empty cup, nowhere but up I was afraid, that was so long ago We were delayed, I needed time to grow If this is my party, I’m so glad we threw it As for my happiness, so glad you could help with it After the storm, I’m coming home It’ll be you and me together and I’ll keep you warm It’s a long way to ground just don’t look down No half-empty cup, nowhere but up Wood floor, if only you could talk Carry the weight of the my house to your grave Wood floor, if only you could walk A mile in my shoes on your face After the storm, I’m coming home It’ll be you and me together and I’ll keep you warm It’s a long way to ground just don’t look down No half-empty cup, nowhere but up No half-empty cup, nowhere but up

Bright Side 03:05
Bright Side Please don’t take it the wrong way When I say you’re a terrible dancer When I give you tongue and cheek I get no tongue from you I’ll agree we fight too much But we’re bound to live angrily ever after Next time don’t draw your gun if you don’t intend to shoot, yeah! I’d be happier writing a sad song Make it rain inside No blood, no sweat, just tears Now I’m emotionally satisfied And I’d be happier riding the wrong bus With no end in sight I’m lost but I’ve found just what I need Come get lost with me Well a fella told me I was melancholy He said, wipe this smile onto your face I’d probably pick up what you’re putting down Any other time, any other place Happier riding the wrong bus With no end in sight I’m lost but I’ve found just what I need I’d be happier waking up early Than dream about losing sleep Just lay there on the bright side of my bed Come find the bright side with me Well the fact is this is probably fiction But if said with enough conviction Then I would have no problem Believing all the bullshit Happier writing a sad song Make it rain inside I’m lost but I’ve found just what I need I’d be happier waking up early Than dream about losing sleep Just lay there on the bright side of my bed Come find the bright side with me

Somewhere In The Middle The siren’s moan and the glasses that shatter After a while it’s white noise But what the hell would you know for that matter? No way you could run with my boys It’s 4pm could you hold off a while? The boys are rolling like it’s going out of style Someone in the backyard forcing a smile Wondering who’s gonna clean this up later All of us try to squeeze blood from a stone For the love of the game, could you leave it alone? I’m out in the rain and I’m chilled to the bone Caught between a rock and a cheese grater But if it feels alright for you Well that’s just fine with me Somewhere in the middle of nowhere I’m caught in the middle of someone else’s problems Funny thing about it I don’t care Because it wouldn’t make a difference even if I could solve one Firework fires, the squeal of the tires Electrified wires, you’ll see when you go there Somewhere in the middle of nowhere And I’m lost, man Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world The siren’s moan and the glasses that shatter After a while it’s white noise But what the hell would you know for that matter? No way you could run with my boys But if it feels alright for you Well that’s just fine with me Somewhere in the middle of nowhere I’m caught in the middle of someone else’s problems Funny thing about it I don’t care Because it wouldn’t make a difference even if I could solve one Firework fires, the squeal of the tires Electrified wires, you’ll see when you go there Somewhere in the middle of nowhere And I’m lost, man Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world
