- Catching Fireflies
My baby told me you gotta get better if you ever wanna win and I know that she’s not getting any better man she just sin I still love her but I know I was once there wearing them shoes I’m still hurting ‘cause the woman I love’s giving me the blues sitting here sober but I wonder what shape she’ll find me in I need her under my skin like a junkie needs heroin and I’m never going back to Snake n’ Jakes the amount of money I spent I could’ve bought the place not to mention that they know my face now it’s hell getting out the place so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun belly up in an ambulance I spent Sunday making doctor friends I could’ve used a pair of depends I hope that made you laugh ‘cause you know I’m a gentlemen heaven found me living didn’t find me dead got a permanent ash mark on my forehead but it still couldn’t save me from lying in bed staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun I’m a peaceful man today ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage so give me one more shot babe
- Change
Well the night came fast
She was burning coke like gas
Oh she's such a vibrant thing
Make the boys in the cold night sing
(Ooh oh oh oh)
She make the boys in the cold night sing
(Ooh oh oh oh)
She on the top shelf drinking cheap champagne
- Navigate Below
The sun itself is colorblind
To the light it’s putting out somehow
I watched it pass as a rider
Gaze away from the seat
Digital map live driver
Stomach’s full head is hungry
- Not Turn Away
All I can see are blurs of red and yellow through the raindrops on my windshield nothing is clear to me but it seems nobody’s moving is it an accident or just me nowhere to go I hope that you will follow me ‘cause it’s you that I’ve been missing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one and what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done to make you stay not turn away the windshield wipers screech me back to consciousness it seems that it’s stopped raining the sky has cleared up the southern stars are shining the thought of you has got me blinded the radio plays a story of redemption drowns out the leaking tire’s hissing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done to make you stay not turn away I want to be the light the light in your eyes every smile and I want to be the one who loves you I got a feeling inside you know it makes me feel like dying ‘cause you know I’m always thinking of you I remember a time looking down that long road it was you and me and mystery we’d go for a ride drink a toast to happy endings but now the bottle’s dry and empty now that you’re gone never to return again everything we had was history hope that you are listening when I say I have found my only one and nothing I could say would make her doubt me and every night the sun descends into the ground and she’s the only one I want to stay and not turn away.

Well isn't anybody home in here
it's getting cold and I just don't care,
so I'll gonna find something else to do, uh-huh.
Just take a really good look at me
I'm twenty-two and I still don't see, why
all of you people just can't get along, anymore.
'Cause fallin' down ain't so hard to do,
your only crutch be the bottle of brew

- Wish I Knew You
You shine like a star
You know who you are
You're everything beautiful
She's hot, hot like the sun
The loneliest one
Still everything beautiful
Well I'll be god damned
