Someday

Don't think you'll get away.
No one ever has.
Don't think He'll turn His back.
It doesn't work like that.
You're caught just like me
but it's not really all that bad.
Someday I think you'll understand,
let's just hope that day comes fast.
I bet that you don't know just what it is you're running from.
And Your eyes are so blank.
These kinds of things are never good.

You're caught just like me
but it's not really all that bad
And I think Someday, you'll understand,
let's just hope that day comes fast.

You're running faster than I ever could.
I guess you're right, I guess I can't understand.
But what I know is you can run as fast and as far as you want
and it won't make any difference in the end.

[CHORUS]

How Much I Don't Know

I want to show you how much,
I don't really know you too much
and I can't skip by this misfortunate perdicament
I can't get myself out of it, it's all too much
too late, yes guess that's so
guess I just wanted to know
but I can't think responsibility considering
it's all there is to being me
and I just thought you should know

If you just keep opening doors
I promise that I'll keep testing the locks
[4 times]

Hello, this is the end of the line
Oh yeah, I'm doing just fine
No I won't pretend that I am open eyed
unsuprised or anything but mystified,
True and tried,
I guess it takes this long to realize just how much I don't know

Fall Down

Fall down.
Kiss the ground once again.
This mire too often my heart's desire.
Pick me up.
Dust me off once again.
This mire too often my heart's desire..

I create my own shame.
Put a muzzle on my mouth when I get so very anxious.
So very anxious again.

Better off if things were left unsaid.
Tomorrow's sorrows waiting there once again.
The silver pinholes of the night
refuse to sing their starry song tonight.
Goodnight..goodnight.

[Chorus 2X]
(We always go back, but not this time.)

Playground

All I know, all I have is what's been given to me.
What I know is real is all I can dream.
I feel my heard is changing.
The one and only thing I know is "we ain't going nowhere".
(500 thousand!)
Be it sometimes I might, yeah, I put up a fight.
Gutta get this off my chest tonight.
All my thoughts are rearranging.
And what I really want to know is are we going nowhere?
(500 thousand!)

All eyes peer, looking from the outside.
You don't understand what you see in me.
I come running out on your playgound.
Sometimes things are the way they're not meant to be.

You stare at me and all these things are coming down.
I'm not sure you're giving me the run around.
Could it be that you don't know me?
It's all the way that you shun me.

[CHORUS 2X]
(Sometimes things are the way they're meant to be out on your playground.)

It's Been So Very Long

I'm gonna leave this place, I swear this time I'm running home.
I know this place too well that promises I'll be alone.
Somewhere between here and there and back and forth I'll come around.

It's what I want to tell you..
it's been so very long
since I've been man enough to be the kind of man..
if I'm gonna hold your hand..

I was reminded of the lack of who I am, swallowed hard.
And in the night I took a firefly or a shooting star.
I watched the sun come up and burn away this feeling over me.
It'll be ok, you'll see.

[CHORUS]
..to be the kind of man I'm supposed to be.
[CHORUS]

One Or The Other

I watched you through star struck eyes as you fell down
The words you spoke, I'd like to think they were sincere.
Now I've found my way back stage.
I've filled my mouth with what's to taste.

And what I'm saying man is, yeah I see, I understand
and I can't blame you.
I know you had to.
It was one or the other; it was you or your brother.

And should he change your mind;
bring you around;
clear the smoke,
I really hope to see you there.
We'll reminisce when we're upstairs.
When it comes around who really cares?

[CHORUS 2X]
(it was you.)

Landmarks

Are you hear to stay?
Why should I ask?
The water is warm my friend.
This one should last.
Landmarks that define
no longer align with the direction we're heading.
It's the consequence I fear
when you label me like that.
I guess I wish you'd take some time with me.
The words I spoke were clear.
Some people only hear what they want to hear to make them feel alright.

Landmarks that define
no longer align with the direction we're heading.
Landmarks that define
no longer align with the song we're singing.

Fear it's how you feel.
It's the way you feel that keeps you from the truth.

[CHORUS]

Let's Try Again Tomorrow

Please don't be angry with me.
I told you I was sorry.
We better kiss and make up.
Why do we fight so much?
There's got to be some better way to convince you to let me stay.
Remember when we used to fall down laughing?
I know I'm hung up.
I do repent and I promise I will never do it again.

Staged fight.
Goodnight.
Let's try again tomorrow.

Please don't be angry with me.
I told you I was sorry.
This always happens when I start to feel like I am something.
I'd like to think that we could find our way around this mess.
Remember when we used to fall down laughing.
Why can't we shut up?
It's gunna make us.
Don't you want to give it another shot?

[CHORUS 2X]
..let's try again tomorrow.
[CHORUS]

Compromise

Woke up to the headlights of a car, so I made a wish.
It didn't go real far.
Forgiveness is hard when your heart's a mess
and I gutta do something to make my life feel better.
Like a bird from the sky, so I close my eyes and ask God why.
In my selfishness I realize sometimes things don't go my way.
So I've learned just how to compromise...just how to compromise
Should I cut my heart out so I can feel?
Let it subside to finally know what is real.
Now I'll take a trip down to the city, the lights look pretty.
There's something about the way I sit and stare that makes me feel like a bird from the sky,
so I close my eyes and ask God why.
In my selfishness I realize sometimes things don't go my way.
So, I've learned just how to compromise...
...learned just how to compromise.

Sterling

Can't find the time to clear my mind from all the stuff that's creeped inside.
Untie the knots that clutter up the clarity of thought.
Don't fight the things that you've been taught all your life.
It's not what it seems that it's worth. It's always getting worse.
Don't fight the things that you've been taught all your life.
It's not what it seems that it's worth. It's always getting worse.
Can't find the time to clear my mind from all the stuff that's creeped inside.
Untie the knots that clutter up the clarity of thought.
This sun is out and I'm on the floor and one more step,
I'm out the door.
I guess I should have stayed inside and given you the time.

Don't fight the things that you've been taught all your life.
It's not what it's worth. It's always getting worse.

No one really wanted to see you.
You know what I always wanted to be like you.
I really do.
If I could open up my eyes, I'd turn and run inside.
..I'd turn and run inside.

[CHORUS 4X]

[Hidden Track]I love the mountians. I love the rolling hills. I love the fireside when all the lights are low. Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed I love the hills of green. I love the birds that sing. I love the mountianeers. I love her skin so fair. Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed I love dilbee, and I love dirty jeans. I love MCT, and all my family. Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed Googlyeyed, all googley eyed (..on tape!)
