It's a cold night, working the day job; Not makin' enough
But I'm gonna see you when it's over;
seems my time is pickin' up
All these people riddled with questions,
they think I know what to say
Now my patience has never been tested
'cos I'm just now finding my way
Keep on pushin', I keep hopin', I won't come up dry
Words I'm usin' -- feels like I'm losin'
No matter how hard that I try
But a life cannot be wasted,
& a soul will not expire
when you're searchin' for an answer,
you will find what you require
Some times I think I should have been born years before
When time's were bright & early, and music was an open door
Well I, could have been a guitar hero, when it was a brand new game
Goin from rags to riches, makin' my claim to fame
How it didn't ever happen that way, I guess I'll never know why
Doesn't matter if I'm a natural, I'm supposed to be a regular guy
Regular
Cold night, workin' the day job
I'm not makin' nearly enough
Gonna see you when it's over
Seems my time is pickin' up
Seems my time is pickin' up
Seems my time is pickin' up

I don't wanna reinvent the wheel
I'm just lookin' for a heart to steal
No one should ever have to live alone
I'm lookin' for a woman to call my own
I'm not too picky, but I know what I want
There's a lot of pretty women, but I only want one
You can call me old fashion, & I like it that way
One thing at a time, take it day by day
Well, marriage ain't easy, but I might try once
If I find the right woman, it just might be fun.
I don't wanna reinvent the wheel,
I'm just lookin' for a heart to steal
No one should have to live their live alone
I'm lookin' for a woman I can call my own
Whoa oh, oh whoa, yea-eh
I don't wanna reinvent the wheel
I'm just lookin' for a heart to steal
No one should ever have to live alone
I'm lookin' for a woman to call my own
I'm just lookin' for a woman I can call my own
Lookin' for a woman to call my own
No one should have to live their life alone
Da da da la da la da la da la da, yeh ah yea aye
Doo doo doo woo doo doo doo woo yea aye yea

She smiles & I blush
Feels like a new crush
Nerves run, I'm stunned
She's taking my heart again
Smooth voice, it's too much
New drug, she's my crutch
Guts spilled, script filled
She's buyin' my heart again
No shade when it rains,
Exposed all my veins
She's fine, not mine
She's killin' my heart again
Hellos & Goodbyes
No difference in my eyes
Can't stop, cos I'll pop
Findin' my heart again, Findin' my heart again
I will find my heart again,
She won't take my heart again
For my sake, I'll start again
I will find my heart again,
She won't take my heart again
For my sake, I'll start again
I'll start again
I'll start again
I'll start again
No, no, no ,no maybe not
Or maybe I will

A scare can scar, but it's not who you are
In the night, you can see by the light of the stars
When a man says your name, can you trust in his face?
Though you are where you are, is it still the same place?
You can give, you can take
Is it all just the same?
If you make it your home,
is it worth all the fame?
Maybe yes, maybe no
If perspective is right
When the sun comes around,
does it take away your night?
I don't think so
I don't think so
Answers to problems
Problems to life
If you find all the answers
do they cut like a knife?
While there's knowing unknowing
and reasons to doubt
If you want what you're needing
Then go figure it out
Figure it out
Go figure it out
Go figure it out
Go figure it out
Today or tomorrow
Choice is yours

Untouchable

Spinnin' like a dancer, caught up in the wind
You steal hearts like a disaster
Always on the mend
But you can't return the love you take
You're givin' up all that you forsake
You've wasted everything, as the pain begins to sting
Well you start a fire that you can't put out
You're on the wire, you dunno what it's all about
You've been runnin', you've been hidin'
Still you're losin' all the time; Just to find:
You're not untouchable, untouchable
Livin' on the edge, & danger is the game
You're getting way too high, It'll never be the same
But you can't receive the love you make
You're killin' all of your mistakes
You keep wastin' it all, with all the shame you bring
Well you start a fire that you can't put out
You're on the wire, you dunno what it's all about
You've been runnin', you've been lyin'
Still you're breakin' all the time; Just to find:
You're not untouchable, untouchable
Well you can't interfere, you can't disappoint
You don't have any fear, so let's get to the point
See you're not who you say, who do you think that you are
If it's not meant to be, we can't go very far
Well enough is enough, you should be on your way
Cos' this old heart of mine doesn't want you to stay
Cos' you start a fire that you can't put out
You're on the wire, dunno what it's all about
You've been runnin', you've been lyin'
Still you're breakin' all the time; Just to find:
You're not untouchable, untouchable
You're bendin' all the rules, but you're broken deep inside
You've been playin' such a fool, it's too difficult to hide
Now you're savin' all the things that you know
It seems you don't know where you're gonna go
Now you're hands are tied, when the truth won't coincide
You still start a fire that you can't put out
You're on the wire, dunno what it's all about
You've been runnin', you've been hidin'
Now you're left out in the rain, still you claim:
That you're untouchable, untouchable
You're untouchable, you're untouchable

I hope you find comfort in my words
There's a way to ease your pain
If you'll understand my sorrow
You're love won't be lost in vain
When the timing is never right
& there's nothing left to waste
You can find the perfect moment
If you're lookin' in the right place
As the scarecrow says to the scavengers
You will not take what's mine
When the light comes shinin' on the field
You will not pretend you're blind
Temptation can burn like a fire
It can keep you from feelin' alone
It's hard to feel like you're losin'
When everyone's turning to stone
Well my heart is made from the fabric
That's rippin' our whole world apart
Adam & Eve had it easy
cos' we cannot go back to the start
As the scarecrow says to the scavengers
You will not take what's mine
When the light comes shinin' on the field
You will not pretend you're blind
As the scarecrow says to the scavengers
You will not take what's mine
When the light comes shinin' on the field
You will not pretend you're blind
You will not pretend you're blind
You will not pretend you're blind

I think you're pretty, I think you're smart
I like your concience, I like your heart
Don't really know, but I'd like to care
Love's not a battle, you're part of a pair
So tell me your nature, share all your dreams
What are your hobbies, who are your teams?
Trust if you're ready, if I deserve
Loves what you're building, it's your own preserve
You know the future, I know the past
I'll see us winnin', you'll see us last
Here's to your taking, and I'll give with ease
Love's not a transaction, you cannot charge a fee
My words are in disorder
Unfounded, boundaries that border
Good deeds, their best; pay em' forward
Onward, living in a quarter
Let's paint a picture, a fairy-tale love
Create a screenshot, that's all of the above
Rules are distorted, so we'll make em' up
If our's is the grail, then we'll fill the cup
You'll see the future, I know the past
I'll see us winnin', you'll see us last
Taking & giving, and I'll give with ease
Love's no a transaction, you can't charge a fee
So tell me your nature, tell me your dreams
What are your hobbies, who are your teams?
Trust if you're ready, if I deserve
Loves what you're building, it's your own preserve
You're own preserve
Ohhh ohhh whoa

On The Fence

Well we rode down to the trail at night
with intentions of no good deed
Stay out late, drinkin' alcohol
Rambunctious; how small were our needs
Well, we would wake up, crashed on the lake
Birds chirping loud on their perch
Dashin' like mad back to our house
to sneak back into bed before church
Well those were the days when we were still young
back when life didn't make sense
We'd drink all the liquor & sleep in the yard
We were born to ride on the fence
Well, I'd take the car, & meet all my friends
No older than I at fourteen
Ride past the cops, drivin' way too fast
& prayin' to get away clean
Well, I'd drop em' all off, & head on home
cos' the parents were getting home soon
Later, they'd ask: "Son, where are the keys?"
Found, left in the car after noon
Well those were the days when we were still young
back when life didn't make sense
We'd drink all the liquor & sleep in the yard
We were born to ride on the fence
Well, now I'm of age, & wiser I'd say
My dangerous days are all through
But once in a while, when I get bored
I think of all the crazy things that I'd do
Well, life is too short, to play by the rules
& no man is under control
So go take a chance, & have a good time
It's never too late to be good to your soul
Cos' these are the days & we are still so young
this life will never make sense
So drink all the liquor & sleep in the yard
Who cares? Go ride on the fence.
Cos' these are the days & we are still young
this life will never make sense
So drink all the liquor & sleep in the yard
Who cares? Go ride on the fence.
Who cares? Go ride on the fence.
Who cares? Go ride on the fence.
Who cares? Go ride on the fence.
We were born to ride on the fence
