On and Up 02:00
By the time I realized she was gone it was mid September And the leaves had long been dying on the grass I exercised my demons in the ways that you can see them In the bars and back offices at night Me, I've got a song for all occasions I've got songs of hope and happiness and doubt But the ones that mean the most are those I wish I'd never wrote And the people I wish I'd never sung a note about On and up I learned from the ways you let me down, but I never learned to stop And if my dreams they come to me or get left in the dust From here it's on, on, on, on, and up
2.
I've learned to wait for the things I want You can't always count on fun But you took your ticket And used it as far as you could run I've suffered my share of heartache Of young love gone too soon But none of them had the nerve To wreck me like you It was all just a change of your heart And I guess I played my part So if you see me out in Los Angeles It's cause I'm not broken, I'm still chasing down my dreams And if you hear my voice coming through your radio You can say its the voice of someone you used to know Well, with you I threw my doubts to the wind Just to be beaten again And after all this time I bet you think you win But it was all just a fading glance And it's you who missed your chance Chorus What we learn, it comes on slow You never know until its over And your heart bleeds in your hands But mine beats on, it's not done And though I'm older I've still got time Chorus
3.
Timebomb 04:02
My love is like a time bomb Wind it up, step back, and watch me explode I've been sleeping on the front lawn I've been working all night just to get back home Jesus Christ, she's beautiful Looks me in the eye like she can save my life Oh, but I don't think so I've seen that look one too many times I've locked myself away for good Convinced myself a broken heart is the end of the world But when the morning comes and your darkest night is done You can still heal it with a song I've been waiting tables Paying dues, debts, and biding my time I'm ready to let go Disappear into a life that's truly mine Chorus My love is like a time bomb Wind it up, step back, and watch me explode I've been sleeping on the front lawn I've been working all night just to save my soul Working all night (Just to save my soul) I've been driving all night (Just to save my soul) I've been drinking all night (Just to save my soul) I've been smoking all night (Just to save my soul) I've been praying all night (Just to save my soul) I've been working so hard just to save my soul Working so hard just to save my soul Chorus

I used to dream that I was in a bar Surrounded by tattoo'd girls They'd listen, I'd learn to play guitar It'd be like being king of the world Well, now I play in bars all the time Where everyone's got a tattoo And the girl in my arms has got one over her heart And rarely mentions the other two Oh, lord you know I love me some tattoo'd girls Between their ink-stained skin And their mischievous grins You know they're giving my head a whirl Well, you've probably seen them They're always in the bar down by the railroad tracks The kind of girls that any man could see They'll bring you to your knees Chorus I've been hoping and wishing I've been counting my lucky stars That some girl will write my name In some highly conspicuous place Chorus
5.
Sweet Marie 04:22
I would like to read a story About love and youth Maybe then I'd know where I started from And how it took me from you Well, I used to be a dreamer I used to count on fate But I need a second job just to pay my bills And its hard to keep the faith Its hard to keep the faith Oh, sweet Marie let me in I've been sleeping in the cold, looking for a place to stand And if you could forgive me for all my many sins I could try to start again You mostly thought that I was perfect I guess that's what spurred me on But its hard to be so flawless When you're still so young We were still so young Chorus Well, it's hard when you're young to know what it is you need 'Til you make your way home to find you're crawling on your knees Chorus
6.
I can tell that I'm losing my edge From too many days stuck staring at the mirror I wish that I could get away And have myself an adventure This busted lip is getting to me I pray the spring comes soon, and sweeps this whole city And all the souls like me who've been looking to run Well, we'll take off our clothes and lay in the sun Oh, and the days will grow long Oh, and we'll sing our favorite songs Oh, and we'll look at the world in wonder I've always been a child of summer I've always been a child of summer Out on the beach we'll drink champagne And talk to the girls who pass our way And when the sun goes down, and the night comes on Well, we'll keep the party going out on the lawn Chorus I was raised on the principal That the way that you think, it can change the whole world Well, in December I find it hard to think But come July I'm on my feet Come July I'm on my feet Oh, when the days they grow long Oh, when we sing our favorite songs Oh, when we look at the world in wonder I've always been a child of summer I've always been a child of summer

I saw her first on Thursday In Brooklyn at the health food store She had a flower in her hair And rain stained the dress she wore And I thought while I'm in town Why not try and have some fun And lay down my burden for awhile It won't always be so easy, I won't ever be so young And I helped her take her groceries back home We passed Friday with pictures Down by the water side I pose as a tiger And she takes on a fierce mountain lion And after my show at night we head back to her home And end up talking about the people that we've loved And lying in the dark, I could not escape the thought There was a reason that's what we'd been talking of Saturday I started thinking Maybe she was something I could keep We never left her apartment We rarely left the room where she sleeps And later on the roof, looking out on man's big earth For once I didn't feel so alone And for the first time in awhile, I managed to smile And imagine a place that I could call home Sunday I came to somewhere on the road to Baltimore Can you wake me up, brother when we're headed back to New York

Crucify Me 02:47
Many nights have I lay awake Dreaming of someone who'd make me feel the way I do now Now that you're lying here next to me I can't sleep and I can't breathe at all Cause you're far too beautiful Sometimes we all care too much What other people say and think, we should learn to feel for ourselves But I'll tell you from experience Sometime love can hurt just as much as wood and nails And baby you can crucify me Any way you please Baby you can crucify me And day or this year, month, or week So, you say there's something missing But I don't feel it too, I don't what I am to do So I'll I'll just keep on strumming, humming these little songs of mine Sometimes its all that gets me through Chorus
9.
Again 05:07
So, you made your way back home How far'd you come from where you started? Cause they say you lost your soul Or bought, sold, bought, sold, and bought it Was it worth all your time To tear yourself to shreds and call it growing? Do you remember who you were Or have you lost the thirst for even knowing? Oh, cause I know what its like To be the one who's left behind But the only way you'll win Is to get back up on your feet one more time again You replaced all your rings With cigarettes and things you never needed And with your sunglasses on You pretend there's nothing wrong, but I can see it Chorus
