Born In The EightiesI grew up in the nineties, at least that's what I tried
Looking for ways to be satisfied
I went to San Diego to try out my luck
Came back twelve months later, and again I was stuck
I felt like a goldfish, stuck in a bowl
I was waiting for something that I could control
After 2000 no longer a kid
The world didn't end but something else did
Building BridgesIf I could plant a tree for every time
I used to hear you say
Life runs through your hands like water
Our backyard would be a forest now
Sometimes I feel like I am running out of time
Just like you did everything I do reminds me of you
If I had a cent for every place
California RainOnly when you're in California
You drive along the coast
The towns you pass are often ruthless
They leave you chasing ghosts
Leave you chasing ghosts
I'm dreaming of blue skies
If I what if I close my eyes
CanadaI'm gonna move to canada
Yeah I've made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I'll catch a plane, fly away from this rain
Coming Of AgeComing of age ain’t about what you do
It’s giving in to what’s predefined
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
It is never what you have in mind
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
That’s how our lives are aligned
The path that you chose has got highs has got lows
Darkness Ahead And BehindLife always dumps something in your lap
You're constantly busy redrawing your map
You leave behind a fading trail
Of images and words that you hope will prevail
Life always dumps something in your way
You try to make the best of it everyday
You could give up and give in but you prefer
Dreamers and renegadesHey man, I'm tired of working all day
I'm turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let's wait until daylight fades
And we'll join the dreamers and renegades
Hey, have you heard the radio news
They say that soon all hell will break loose
Me, I am trying to do my part
Excuse To Trythe words she means
are those she doesn't say
so slowly running out of things to say
she was not afraid to ring a bell or two
there's no one who can tell her how to feel
I just wish that I could help her out
but I'm part of the problem it turns out
Herald Of Free EnterpriseThis is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one
It happened twenty years ago although the sea was calm
It was 1987 and winter nearly gone
On that Friday running late with rolling off and rolling on
Trucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by side
Someone had to close the back door
That day it must have slipped his mind
Howling at the MoonWhere did the summer go
I found it in Monaco
Dancing in Mexico
Sushi in Tokyo
I wanna be where you are
Driving in a plastic car
Cuba is not so far
I can bring my guitar
Landslide
can I be excused
from what I was doing but what was I doing
I need to buckle up
we make noise so pretty that closing time is only
a matter of time
as far as I'm concerned
Little In The MiddleYou always wanted to be
Part of a circus company
For the fun and death defying
But in time you forgot life is small in the big top
And your dreams were slowly dying
What you wanted was not a crime
You could've done it
MistakenOh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
In this age of eternal night
The blinded ... to the light
And as we stumble in the dark
Creatures climbing for the ark
It's gonna be a crazy ride
Never Gonna StopIt's in taxis it's on trains
In airports hopping planes
The silence moving on contains
It's in all the in-betweens
In the day to day routines
In over 15 million dreams
It's in trying to close the door
One Of Ityou came over
like a midnight appetite
nobody believes me now
i ran across and
saw thousand people on my way,
on my way, on my way out
Out Of My HandsI made the call just too late
At the end of May
I just thought I could wait
For one more day
In the time that passed
You went down so fast
You went down so fast
RamboWhen I was little I wanted to be king
I built castles in the air but never found my way in
For a week I was Rambo but couldn't take the pace
Then I thought I'd be a rocket man
But never made it into space
All my life I tried so many things I couldn't do
But I can't think of anything I wouldn't try again
Try again for you
She Might She MightShe's too blue-eyed possibly
Then again she couldn't be
One two she knows kung fu
Three four kicked in my door
Five six I can't believe it
What a mess I'm in
She might she might
Stepping Stonewe should have a word together
I think you and I
we never should have slept together
never should have tried
we should have a word together
it's time you understand
that I think the situation
The RideIf I had a way to get out of this day
If I had a way I'd get out today
Man, I would run away, man, I would run
'Cause these walls block out the sun
Yeah they block out the sun
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Until The Morning Comesyour clothes spread out on the floor
just like it was before
a homerun is a hit I'll never score
the hours before the break of dawn
are as fragile as a song
and can go on and on and on
we wait for the light
You And MeI wish you smelled a little funny
Not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever
Just like cats but we’d never stray
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
You Don't Knowsometimes everything seems awkward and large
imagine a Wednesday evening in March
future and past at the same time
I make use of the night and start drinking a lot
although not ideal for now it's all that I've got
it's nice to know your name
You don't know you don't know
You Dont KnowSometimes everything seems awkward and large
Imagine a Wednesday evening in march
Future and past at the same time
I make use of the night start drinking a lot
Although not ideal for now it's all that I've got
It's nice to know your name
You don't know you don't know
