Back to Bed

Something ain’t right, I feel like I am running out
Ever since I been back home
Ever since I been back home
I could go right back to bed
My body is achin’ and I feel the road has taken a toll
You broke my heart a little and I don’t wanna beg anymore
Is it something that I said?
Is it something that I said?
I could go right back to bed
There’s a softer place
After anger has left
I will face my fear
I will dream of it
Something ain’t right, I feel like I am running out
Ever since I been back home
Ever since I been back home
I could go right back to bed

For the Taking
02:18

My love is for the taking
My love is for the taking
You can have my love if you share it
You can have my love if you share it with me
You took my love for granted
You took my love for granted
But I stayed until the end of it
And I cried all night in an argument
Drank whiskey right from the bottle with him
To drown the pain I was feelin’
My love is for the taking
My love is for the taking
You can have my love if you share it
You can have my love if you share it with me
But you won’t know what you’re getting
So I’ll let you know what I’m feelin’
My love is not for the taking
My love is not for the taking
But I gave it to them anyway
And I cried until they went away
I knew I gave my love away
I’ll find it on some other day

Sleep Tonight
04:03
|

|
Can’t sleep tonight, can’t sleep tonight
Guess I’ll lay my head down and try, and try
One more time
Can’t dream tonight, can’t dream tonight
Cause if I dream tonight
I’ll wake up, I’ll wake up
such a fright
No one to hold me
No one to keep me settled down
But I adore thee,
You are my one and only
So I try to keep you close
and I try to let you know
You are everything
Just breathe tonight, just breathe tonight
Don’t let the world
drag you down, drag you down
this time
No one to hold me
No one to keep me settled down
But I adore thee,
You are my one and only
So I try to keep you close
And I try to `let you know
You are everything

Find a Way
04:53
|

|
I’m having a hell of a time
Pretending I’m doing just fine
I’ve never felt the need to fly
Like I do right now
I’m having a hell of a time
I’ve never liked to be on my own
I’d rather share a meal or talk to you on the phone
How are we so busy, that we can’t come together,
I’ve never
liked to be on my own.
Run run, run away
Towards the light, before the dark gets me
Find a way
I’m gonna try gracefully
I’ve been shouting at myself all day
Doesn’t matter what my friends all say
My ears are ringing at the end of the day
I’ve been shouting at myself all day
How do I give a piece of my heart
When I can’t find piece of mind
I can see the ocean
glowing blue and white
I keep running, till I see the light
I want to crawl out of my skin
can’t even seem to let you in
I love you
But I could use a hand right now
I want to crawl out of my skin
So I’ll run, run away
Towards the light, before the dark gets me
Find a way
I’m gonna try gracefully

Cure All
02:24
|

Let food be my medicine
It’ll cure anything, didn’t you know
Just cut out the GMO, sugars and fats
All the bread and the meat
The milk and the cheese
And you can be healthy like me
Ooh
You’ve got this disease
but you can kick it
It’s all in your brain
if you just wish it
You can detox away all the festering thoughts
that are fueling your pain
fueling your pain
Ooh
Have you tried everything
I’m sure you’ll beat it
Have you tried meditation
Or done some deep breathin’
They say a positive attitude is needed
So turn this frown upside-down
Turn this frown upside-down
But you’ll tire yourself
when you try to do everything
Only to realize it’s beyond your capability
And accept the fact that you won’t be going back
No you can’t just go back
You can’t just go back
Ooh
I’m not just a cynic
I’m a hell of a critic
That’s what makes me a little artistic
And that’s also why I like to eat my way through it
Let food be thy medicine
Didn’t you know
It’ll cure almost anything babe

Call Me
02:46
|

I want you to call me up
I want you to know what I want
And what I want, what I want
Is for you to call me up
How am I supposed to know
When to hold on and to let go
Well these days, these days
Anything goes
So call me up
Well fucking call me up
I want you to
I want you to
Well I’ve been thinkin’ of you since I saw you
Well I don’t know what to do about you
And my head, my head is coming loose
Since I met you
I want you to call me up
I want you to
I want you I want you
I want you to call me up
Well baby call me up
Say hello
Call me

What's the Point
03:32
|
|||
|
I am driving around from town to town
I am making the rounds with various sounds
I am covered in doubt with a hint of career
I am playing along to the tune of a three dollar beer
What’s the point of this song? I don’t know anymore
What’s the point of the rhyme that keeps time in four
I just keep coming back, I keep asking for more
So what’s it all for? What’s the point, what’s the point of it all
What’s the point, what’s the point of it all
What’s the point, what’s the point of it all
Sometimes I wanna get out of here
Like to my hometown that I hold dear
Or to midwestern cities, or the eastern coast
to the Southern Bayou, or Colorado
I am running around in this dirty old town
Of bachelorette parties and writer’s rounds
I feel most at home where I can see the stars
So why am I here and what’s the point of it all
What’s the point, what’s the point of it all
What’s the point, what’s the point of it all
I can hear the crickets out of my window
I can’t see the stars, but the moon’s aglow
I don’t know the point, but I don’t care anymore
I see beauty in the things I never thought to before
That’s the point, that’s the point of it all
That’s the point, that’s the point of it
That’s the point, that’s the point of it
That’s the point, that’s the point of it all

Rain Keeps Comin'
04:30
|
|||
|
Gonna turn the oven on
And let it pre-heat
Gonna make the room feel warm
With the food I’m gonna eat
A little precious time is all I really need
I sit in my chair
The one that’s worn and bare
Rain keeps comin’ down
It’s floodin’ through my head
Rain just never ends
It’s starting up again
I can be alone
And listen to the rain
Maybe it’ll wash my sins away
Come meet me tonight
I cooked up a storm
Even bigger than the one outside
Rain keeps comin’ down
Rain keeps comin’ down
It’s starting up again
Rain just never ends
Meet me tonight
Rain keeps comin’ down
Come meet me tonight

Won't You
04:37
|
|||
|
I am a stained glass window
Whenever I’m with you
You make me red and yellow
With a touch of blue
I wanna see the sun
Pouring out of you
Shine your light right through me
Won’t you
You have a glow that warms me
Like a fire in the snow
I wanna feel the ice melt
Into a water-flow
We’ll need air to fuel us
It will help us grow
So bring your fire with you
Won’t you
Won’t you
