1. Up And Go

2. Given The Chance

the minute before we play i'm pacing and waiting anxiously i can't wait to hit the stage and say hello to jersey and when the last note hits and i sung all i had to sing every minute i will count till the next song in the next town what can i say that can explain all this time i'm loving life there's not a day that i can't say all this time i'm living out my the feeling of screaming out the words i think some think about hearing them coming back from the crowd's mouth is perfect and when the curtain's closed i'll realize that the time did go thanks for everything you know how much this means what can i say that can explain all this time i'm loving life there's not a day that i can't say all this time i'm living out my dream what this is to me is more than words can mean i guess dreams do come true this song itself is living proof what this means to me is more than it may seem i guess dreams do come true this song itself is living proof what this is to me is more than words could mean i guess dreams do come true this song itself is living proof what can i say that can explain all this time i'm loving life there's not a day that i can't say all this time i'm singing out a song about a dream that's coming true

3. Leaving

You and I cold February night, it's been half an hour. Taking sweet time saying our goodbyes. One minute more. The best day of my life is all thanks to you. Precious remembrance saved for rainy days or February. Few scenes from my life or moments mean more to me than our fine night. I remember like yesterday the time of my life. Please don't leave me without saying good bye. As weekdays and weekdays unwind I'll be found starring back in time. 2/12/99 at the stroke of midnight. Holding you tight, your body and mine,in February.

4. The Best Of Me

tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone the worst is over you can have the best of me we got older but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up here we lay again on two separate beds riding phone lines you hear a familiar voice and pictures drawn from memory we reflect on miscommunications and misunderstandings and missing each other too much to vow to let go turn our music down and we whisper "say what you're thinking right now" tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone the worst is over you can have the best of me we got older but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up jumping to conclusions made me fall away from you I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you we're sitting on the ground and we whisper "say what you're thinking out loud" tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone the worst is over you can have the best of me we got older but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up turn our music down and we whisper we're sitting on the ground and we whisper we turn our music down we're sitting on the ground the next time I'm in town we will kiss girl we will kiss girl tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone the worst is over you can have the best of me we got older but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we won't feeling that we can't that were not ready to give up we got older, but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

5. A Good Night's Sleep

A better slumber was in your arms was tangled up in you A sudden morning crashed in the room with an uninvited sudden change in you What can I say? Where's that girl from last night that slept on that side and looked just like you? You can sleep in your own bed tonight simple way a silent pain screaming out my name you can sleep in your own bed tonight i hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am for a lack of better words to say all i said was goodnight once again it's self defence i wont sleep a wink to prevent dreaming of you You can sleep in your own bed tonight simple way a silent pain screaming out my name you can sleep in your own bed tonight i hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am sleep in your own bed tonight i know some day that you will wake up as lonely as I am You can sleep in your own bed tonight simple way a silent pain screaming out my name you can sleep in your own bed tonight i hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am sleep in your own bed tonight i know some day that you will wake up as lonely as I am cuz sleep works both ways cuz sleep works both ways cuz sleep works both ways sleep in your own bed

6. Almost There

It's time to say a word. Say it like you mean it, she said with a tongue of hurt. As my eyes pulled back, hoping for the end. One too many condescending battles for a friend. Say another word and I'll sit on the floor, So keep talking down to me, your not only losing me, your losing what you swore. I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you when I go, when I go. I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you over the phone So i could tell the truth, tell the truth. Something is still getting in the way between you and I, our summer hollow day. Just wait one minute more, cause my heart is half way torn and your already gone, your already gone. I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you when I go, when I go I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you over the phone So I could tell the truth, tell the truth. Say another word. Face first on the floor, Keep talking down to me losing what was almost meant to be. I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you when I go, when I go. I tryed to stay awake so I could tell you over the phone, so I could tell the truth.

7. Cheek To Cheek

Bound to say something, eyes closed, It's cold, and I'm home I feel like nothing again, Pretending not to care, but I care, And I care, don't say another word Our time was worthless, but I tried We started over and over again, as we let go Held each other, held hands, Held standards and grudges That's when I let you know, I guess that goes to show Just what I've been going through, More nights of hugging my pillow, oh Replaying memories Sing this song for me; Tell me how you�ll never leave my side And I'll meet you around 7, And I miss you already, goodbye to you. Time was worthless, but I tried We started over and over again, as we let go Held each other, held hands, held standards and grudges That's when I let you know, I guess that goes to show Sing this song for me; tell me how you�ll never leave my side And I'll meet you around 7, and I miss you already, goodbye to you. And I tried so hard, And I've done my part, And not to mention most of all of yours Try and feel, Try and listen, Try and think of what you're missing, Try to look into my eyes. TRY Goodbye Sing this song for me; Tell me how you�ll never leave my side And I'll meet you around 7, And I miss you already, goodbye to you. Last goodbye I'll ever say to you. You'll never leave my side.

8. Hello Houston

lead on to keep our feelings strong and make me still believe our page is one and the same our ways will separate tonight you say if we were to wait some things just might be changed I say that I dont have the strength to fuel a burning flame speak to me what can I say, we just live too far away that's a shame that love can make you stay sweet thing I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are You say this could work someday when you and I both know this is the end Leave me the way it has to be excuse my poor excuse tell me that insecurities are what drove me to you and everyday I compare your this from sweet beginnings to your bitter end sweet thing I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are You say this could work someday when you and I both know this is the end Let me let go sweet thing I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are You say this could work someday when you and I both know this is the end

9. Decisions, Decisions

I cant wait for this to end and leave tonight behind us I'm unsettled letting go of you and sleeping the night in silence and this laptop falls along with me onto my bed while rolling over break my heart and break my fall dont kiss him and color all memories you had of me the last time I saw you you were standing by his side the last time you saw me seated close as I waited by the phone He loves you who loves you more? To let you go He loves you who loves you more? To let you go I can wait until my heart mends so I can finally go outside and I tell myself, look Ken It's better to lost love then paint a smile and pretend The last time I saw you you were standing by his side the last time you saw me seated close as I waited by the phone He loves you who loves you more? To let you go He loves you who loves you more? To let you go The last time I saw you you were standing by his side the last time you saw me was in a crumpled photograph that missed the bed He loves you who loves you more? To let you go He loves you who loves you more? To let you go

10. Saddest Girl Story

So it's safe to say that we've been here before; Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more. This lesson is learned too well. Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed. Have you had enough? I guess not because your lips are stuck to his. It's Time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off. You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him. You can't win. Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on. Take a look around, you could have anyone. So leave undeserving him. It only hurts at first. But then you will find someone to give you everything you want. Try not to go running back to him. So it goes unsaid that we've been here before. Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor. And he's sorry, so the story goes. It's read and replayed and ends the same way.

11. Left Coast Envy

Today could be a different day The sky lifts up the haze Above my front lawn Just another time i hold my tears For another year On my way back home I've asked a hundred times what's going on But it went through one ear and out the other one Now can i take a palm tree home with me? For the memory of you when i'm at home I've been looking forward, not back Vacation's everything we need... Can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah.. Can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away? I'm taking pictures of everything To remind me of the place that's so perfect for me And i'm taking pictures of everything So go ahead and take this place away from me Today could be another day The sky lifts up the haze Above my front lawn Just another time i hold my tears For another year On my way back home Can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah.. Can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away? [we left our hearts in california, and we're coming back!]

12. The Drama Summer

We could wait for the wind to blow Or give me a look so cold...It gives me chills And ends the summer war My eyes roll Around and over and again Falling down, dizzy with sun stroke I'll be there And i'll try to identify, try to look through the gray skies in your eyes.. I'll pick up everything you left behind Cross your fingers, and pray for winter I'll be there Painting the town your favorite color. Guess i'll call or see you around....yeah Guess i'll call or see you around. Guess i'll call or see you around....yeah Guess i'll call or see you around. I'll call, or see you around. I'll call, or see you around. I'll call, or see you around. I'll call, or see you around. ...painting the town your favorite color.

13. This Ride

It says hold on and take this ride and set aside of all the times when you collide then you'll leave me here to die heres the things I meant but I never said It says sit back and take this time to lose your mind and find out what its like to die so wheres my spine when its time to give an obvious and simple reason why I wont write again What do you see when you look at me Do you take me for a fool So what makes you play this game With results always the same and nothing but bad reputations to gain It's pushing me like all is fine when I could cry from all the bends and breaks I took this time when happiness is based on lies its so hard, its too hard to tell the truth What do you see when you look at me Do you take me for a fool This fool is done This fool is done This fool is done What do you see when you look at me Do you take me for a fool what do you see when you look at me do you take me for a fool It says hold on and take this ride and set aside of all the times when you collide then you'll leave me here to die heres the things I meant but I never said
