Beauty Sleep 05:54
lyrics

Beauty Sleep You took the weekend for some r&r You hit the road but you didn’t get very far Everybody knows you’re afraid of the dark You'd turn back around soon as you see the stars You know the sun it never sets in the west You hit the 90 and you’d give it your best Never thought the time change would make you a mess I never thought you’d need You’d need a moment to rest Sit down and relax You’re going to feel better as a matter fact Lay back, cut some slack It’s time to shut your eyes and take something back You need your beauty sleep to set you free You need your beauty sleep to get that dream You need your beauty sleep or you’re gonna suffer deep You need your beauty sleep to set you free Pulled muscles in your back, suffered minor heart attacks Worn the heels out of your shoes, even sang the homesick blues When are you coming, when you coming home Let me tell ya, it ain’t good for you living alone Do you remember what your father said to you As you were driving through the desert in the middle of June You’ve got some time to kill so make it last When you wake back up it will all be in the past Sit back and relax I feel you might feel better as a matter fact Lay back, cut some slack It’s time to shut your eyes and take something back You need your beauty sleep to set you free You need your beauty sleep to get that dream You need your beauty sleep or you’re gonna suffer deep You need your beauty sleep to set you free

Oaks & Raleigh 04:19

Oaks and Raleigh Do you remember When the roof caved in around us It snowed and then it froze the floor inside Do you remember When smoke filled up the basement Yes we could have died but we weren’t terrified We used to live like this We used to thrive like this Oh lord I loved living day to day like this We could survive like this We did alright like this But now we’re here and it’s gone away So now you’ll find me With the world doing fine around me I always know what’s right around the bend So now you’ll find me On the corner of Oaks and Raleigh And here I sit and I just play pretend That some things never end I know that feeling that you get at night When the ghosts in your head are strangling tight They take your dreams and rip them to shreds You’d sow it back together but they’re still in your head Well maybe it’s time to just let go No more setting fire to the dance room floor No more drinking on the fire escape Those days are gone no time today So now I live like this So now I’m fine like this And now I sit living day to day like this I could survive like this I’ll be alright like this Is it so bad now if I have to stay So now you’ll find me With the world doing fine around me I always know what’s right around the bend So now you’ll find me On the corner of Oaks and Raleigh And here I sit and I just play pretend That some things never have to end

Donna I wanna feel like when Donna touched me Just like the first time right before she kissed me I got the feeling that she’d never let me go You know young love never lasts forever Never had a chance to stay together I get the feeling I’ve got the right to know But who am I That I should say That Donna shouldn’t feel that way Who am I but a fool too much in love If that’s what Donna said Then that’s what Donna meant This is for the better Donna’s so much better If she don’t wanna have me Then she don’t gotta want me I can’t do much better But I can still be better Pray for me Donna cause my soul is a goner Lost in the drama is where I became a monster I came on heavy now my chest bears the burden Never been perfect since I left you hurting But who was I That I should say That Donna shouldn’t feel that way Who am I but a fool too much in love If that’s what Donna said Then that’s what Donna meant This is for the better Donna’s so much better If she don’t wanna have me Then she don’t gotta want me I can’t do much better But I can still be better If that’s what Donna said Then that’s what Donna meant This is for the better Donna’s so much better If she don’t wanna have me Then she don’t gotta want me I can’t do much better But I can still be better

So Low 03:49
lyrics

So Low It’s easy That’s what tell me yeah it’s easy It’s not that hard to just be happy Just go ahead and make it happy A smile and a wink go a long way to fake it I see you’re seeming sad so just stitch up your face there It’s crazy what you’re craving cause you're never gonna get it But you’re still set on falling Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low Down in a flash, why you fly like that You backtrack the facts that you don’t know jack You’re acting kinda glitchy You’re feeling kinda itchy The tone in your voice is sounding kinda pitchy And you’re never going to get to the point that you want If you’re always getting down from the tease and the taunt And you want to know the best way to reset the clock But you’re never gonna get it If your tone just drops Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low I can hear Something in the wind tonight I can tell, I can tell, I can tell Something just isn’t right And it’s so much better Once you’re over the weather But I doubt you’ll Give it a try Mmmm It’s nothing more than attitude Just a little change in altitude Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly Why you gotta fly So low

Running Back I saw the warmth I saw the warmth in the air I saw the North I saw the Northwest Wind I saw the cost I saw the cost of never running back I saw the North I saw the Northwest Wind But I never I”ll never forgive myself For not running back You never looked back I never went to see the world You never turned round I never would meet that girl You dreamed of Saturday I never thought that way Silly things bring me down now I saw the North I saw the northwest curl Of the wind coming down But I never I”ll never forgive myself For not running back I saw the warmth I saw the warmth in the air I saw the North I saw the Northwest Wind

Too Afraid 04:24

Too Afraid I’ve been waiting For so long You’ve been trading Conversations oh I’ve been so lonely I just sit around Oh lately I’ve been thinking Maybe you’ve been thinking too About you About me And I And I said never But that was only to myself Only to myself Now I’m here wishing That you would listen To all the words that I don’t say Cause I’m too afraid You might go away And as the light is fading I write some words That might never reach your ear I want to them on the table But something holds me back Now I’m here wishing That you would listen To all the words that I don’t say Cause I’m too afraid You might go away Cause I’m too afraid You might go away Cause I’m too afraid Of what you’d say Cause I’m too afraid Yes I’m too afraid

Highway 90 Hello Chicago You’re such a pretty sight In the night But with the lakes of Minnesota Up ahead I’m leaving you behind With every song I sing With every mile I drive I’m leaving my excuses feeling more and more alive Far from my home (The more my heart beats in my chest) Far from my home (The more I have to hold my breath) My father (Said the years I’ve had are the ones that he has left) My father (So follow highway 90, give it your best) Goodbye Montana Your mountains are so clear The atmosphere Finally I understand The songs from the frontier When I meet the Pacific And see the ocean wide I lean myself forward Get swept up by the tide Far from my home (The more my heart beats in my chest) Far from my home (The more I have to hold my breath) My father (Said the years I’ve had are the ones that he has left) My father (So follow highway 90, give it your best)

Pollen 04:00
lyrics

Pollen What ever happened To the way I used to laugh with you Maybe I never got the joke All the sudden You’re looking pretty violent I guess I’ll rise above the smoke What ever happened To the things that we all learned in school Now all you talk about is survival We used to both be fools On account of what we’re breathing Now you act like I'm your rival Unacceptable, unappreciated Want to stand out want to be emancipated Want to feel it and not live exaggerated Want to tell the world I feel incarcerated You think the air’s been poisoned You think it’s got me in a world of sin Well it’s easy to fall in When all you breathe is pollen 
 What ever happened to To the way we used to talk things through Well maybe we were wrong about it all You’re sitting there wondering Why you’re always caught up in a cycle Just spin around waiting for call
 Unacceptable, unappreciated Want to stand out want to be emancipated Want to feel it and not live exaggerated Want to tell the world you feel incarcerated You think the air’s been poisoned You think it’s got us in a world of sin Well it’s easy to fall in When all you breathe is pollen

Homecoming I left my place at home Follow where you’d go Why I’d never know Now you’ve got me right where you want me Always finding what’s hiding inside me Come close to cry on my shoulder Let me know that you’ll be here when we’re older If years go by and I can’t remember All the times I’d say our love’s forever Let me know that you’d never let go I just really gotta know, I just really want to know that you’ll Dance with me Stay with me Sway with me At my homecoming Will you Will you Dance with me Sway with me Stay with me At my homecoming After all is this what you really wanted To turn to the skies and look for what’s forgotten You’ve got a delusion that there’s some solution To any kind of notion that there’s something out there After all is this what I really wanted Cause after all it’s only you I’ve wanted Since the day you came I knew you weren’t the same I never blamed you for forgetting your place The years go by and you still remember All the times I’d say our love’s forever Let you know that I’ll never let go I just really gotta know, I just really want to know that you’ll Dance with me Stay with me Sway with me At my homecoming Will you Dance with me Sway with me Stay with me At my homecoming At my homecoming (x16) I wanna know will you Dance with me Sway with me Stay with me At my homecoming Will you I wanna know will you Dance with me Sway with me Stay with me At my homecoming Will you dance with me Will you stay with me Will you sway with me Will you run with me Everyone will see Everyone will see At my homecoming

Queen “Jester, jester, sing me a song tonight” “Jester, jester, bring me my glass of wine” I’ll lay down as your perfect sacrifice I’ll do anything for your paradise I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen “Come to me” she calls me in the night “Come to me,” I need you to hold me tight” My perfect princess you’re unparalleled You’re the one that pulled my soul from hell I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen I know it’s known that there’s no place quite like home That doesn’t change the way it stings when you have to go Leaving you is gonna bring me down I found, I’m so far from the crown “Extra, extra, read all about it now Extra, extra, the jester left the town” I had a feeling there was more in life to find Now I’m gone and I feel so paralyzed I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen I know it’s known that there’s no place quite like home That doesn’t change the way it stings when you have to go Leaving you is gonna bring me down I found, I’m so far from the crown Pack my bags, I won’t be giving up Pack my bags, I hope I’ve brought enough I’ve got a ways to go, I’ve got a ways to go I’ve got a ways to go, I’ve got a ways to go Pack my bags, I won’t be giving up Pack my bags, I hope I’ve brought enough I’ve got a ways to go, I’ve got a ways to go But I’ve got a way to know I’m gonna get myself back home I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen I fall to my knees and I praise the Queen
