The Other Side of Grey 02:42
lyrics
buy track
Looking down the road at the paradise I don’t want to be where the sun don’t shine And I don’t want to feel how I’m feeling everyday Maybe this is love and I know it’s right But I’ve looked away every single time Won’t you please bring me on the other side of grey? And maybe down the road there will be a sign But I’ll make a left before I get this right Won’t you please bring me on the other side of grey? And maybe there’s a lock where there should be more Or maybe I’m the one pulling on that door Won’t you please bring me on the other side of grey? Maybe this is love and I know it’s right But I’ve looked away every single time Won’t you please bring me on the other side of grey?

Stranger 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I've been here long enough to know The difference between fear and hope Oh, a little direction could help I don't want to fall by myself I am lost in the crowd Like a child in another town What if I take the wrong path? What if I turn into half of what I'm supposed to be? What I'm supposed to be Oh, I turn to a stranger To fix the tear at the seams So don't be alarmed if my heart isn't right. It's only a matter of time I think it's fair for me to say That the last few years haven't gone my way Oh, a little direction could help I don't want to feel how I've felt I've been stuck in the ground From the tidal wave that knocked me down For so many years I had solely given my all to this one thing That I lost a sense of me I lost a sense of me Now I turn to a stranger To point me in the other way So don't be alarmed if I can't see the light It's only a matter of time Oh I look for answers I'm better off looking away But I'm no dreamer I'd rather run through the maze Now I'll turn to a stranger To help create a brand new theme So don't be alarmed if my words don't align It's only a matter of time So don't be alarmed if my heart isn't right It's only a matter of time

On Your Way 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I can’t stand to bare My lung’s out of air I’m over your crimes But I’m not quite yet fine My heart’s in my throat And I think I might choke If I’m walking down 1st And I see you headed to church ‘Cause I’ve been the saint I pushed through the sea It took me this long To know that’s not what it should be What will it take For you to be on your way Do I have to beg? For you to be on your way home Well I still believe You’ll cross paths with me It’s a matter of time Before you look me in the eye And when that time comes You’ll know I was the one But I lost the desire Our time has expired I gave you gold Then you fled the scene Like a murderer does Who will never come clean What will it take For you to be on your way Do I have to beg? For you to be on your way home What will it take For you to be on your way Do I have to beg? For you to be on your way Do I have to break For you to be on your way Oh what can I say For you to be on your way home

Bloom 03:29

I see it all I’m seeing clear I’m coming down on my parachute Oh I can’t stand to fly I’d rather land right beside the truth ‘Cause I am just such an honest man I’m looking for somebody new Oh I can’t stand to fly And now what I’m waiting for is You I think that we’re ready to bloom I think that we’re ready to bloom You know I’ve been waiting for you I think that we’re ready to bloom Time and time and time again I always narrow it down to you ‘Cause I can’t stand to lie I’d rather live right beside the truth ‘Cause I am just such an honest man I’m looking for somebody new ‘Cause I can’t stand to lie And now what I’m waiting for is You I think that we’re ready to bloom I think that we’re ready to bloom You know I’ve been waiting for you I think that we’re ready to bloom And I got this Right where I want And it’s not too soon And I’ll make the move for you I think that we’re ready to bloom I think that we’re ready to bloom You know I’ve been waiting for you I think that we’re ready to bloom

How Many Times 03:08
lyrics
buy track
I was terrified That I would run into a time That i’ve been letting go And so it’s true what they say About you then I gave Until I had no more How many times Will I try before I know How many times Will I try before I go You see I was sure as hell this time That I cleared my mind But you know how this goes The signals flew across the air I shot ‘em down to spare Myself from knowing more How many times Will I try before I know How many times Will I try before I go So who knows what the future holds But I’ll run on this tight rope until it folds And maybe I’m crazy for all I know But I won’t let go How many times Will I try before I know How many times Will I try before I go

I'll Stay in the City, Goodbye 04:14
lyrics
buy track
I've been to Arizona I've driven through the valley But nothing really caught me by surprise I've gone through Indiana Then down to Carolina I stood against the currents and the tide And Baltimore has never caught my eye My heart’s in New York City I can’t lie I tried to paint a picture I guess I'll make it clearer There's no compromise I'll stay in the city, goodbye I've flown to California Then headed through Ohio I've seen the gateway to the western skies But no matter where the wind blows From here to Colorado Won't keep me leaving all I know behind Even though our love has crumbled, I have pride My heart’s in New York City ‘til I die I tried to paint a picture But you won't reconsider It's been one hell of a ride But I'll stay in the city, goodbye

Always Need Somebody 04:15
lyrics
buy track
We didn't stand a chance I am not the first, I'm not the last But I'll have final say Enjoy that someone else To be your to slave And how could my vision have been so blurred? Oh, he was waiting in reserve Since we all know that you Always need somebody... How can this be so? It’s January and you're still down the road Just go back to your state New York City doesn't have the space And all our conversations burn Since you just never seemed to learn I'm so glad you made room For that new somebody The flashbacks have stained And I've never been drunk enough to take the blame You see it's all just like cocaine It never left because it never really came And all our trials come to close Now that everybody knows That you, yes you Oh you, Oh you, oh you, yes you You always need somebody

The Rules 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I must be a fool 'Cause I can't, can't stop loving you After all we've been through But I'll play it cool Since I know I know all the rules And I won't add any fuel But still I hang on every word Even though this all seems so absurd I'm confused I guess you're looking for something new What's a man to do When he knows He's been completely screwed It's hard to say what was true But I'll play it cool Since I know I know all the rules And I won't give into you But still I hang on every word Even though this all seems so absurd I'm confused I guess you're looking for something new I must be a fool 'Cause I can't, can't stop loving you After all we've been through
