1. You've Got Me Trying Again
See this walk
For once I don't feel like I'm so small
I used to be so insecure
The stars aligned
I’m in the zone, I’m feeling nice
I've never felt this great before
You got me trying again
Look at me now
You got me trying again
Smiling out loud
Before you, no one ever was worth
The effort I put in
But now you got me trying once again
You slapped my face
And proved this ain’t a dream taking place
This really is reality
Now I find
There truly is much more to life
Such corny lines are suddenly fine with me
You got me trying again
Look at me now
You got me trying again
Smiling out loud
Before you, no one ever was worth
The effort I put in
But now you got me trying once again
You better believe it
That I'm madly contagious and loving the feeling
Just wait till it all rubs off on you
You got me trying again
You got me trying again
You got me trying again
You got me trying again
You got me trying again
Look at me now
You got me trying again
Smiling out loud
Before you, no one ever was worth
The effort I put in
But now you got me trying once again
​
2. Can't Wait To Meet You
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
What will it be like
When you're bundled up
Inside my arms
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
You're never ready, but
I am ready to be caught off guard
Will you be strong
Will you be kind
Will you express yourself
Or keep it all inside
Will you be tough
Will you be sweet
Will you be anything
Like your mom and me
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
What will it be like
When you're bundled up
Inside my arms
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
You're never ready, but
I am ready to be caught off guard
Will you be sound
When you're asleep
Will you be finicky
About the food you eat
Will you play sports
Will you love art
And when you speak
Will all your words be from the heart
I will do (I will do)
Yeah, I will do (I will do)
Whatever I can
To show you (to show you)
To show you (to show you)
How to be a man
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
What will it be like
When you're bundled up
Inside my arms
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to meet you
You're never ready, but
I am ready to be caught off guard

3. Where We Are Going
I close the book I'm reading, finger in the page
Outside the train I see a blurry landscape
Does anybody know where we are going?
Does anybody know what's in store?
Does anybody know where we are going?
Is anybody watching anymore?
Ain't no conductor punching tickets anywhere
We just keep moving and nobody seems to care
Does anybody know where we are going?
Does anybody know what's in store?
Does anybody know where we are going?
Is anybody watching anymore?
Am I alone in caring where we're going next?
I grip the train's upholstery trying to relax
Does anybody know where we are going?
Does anybody know what's in store?
Does anybody know where we are going?
Is anybody watching anymore?
​
4. Lift Me Up
Pressed against your breast
My head, it feels your breath
Lift up and take my thoughts away
You’re my hold, my warmth in cold
My life, my love, and truth be told
My everything
My heart has atrophied
I left it at your feet
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up, oh
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up
Here I lay, a silent gaze
I’m staring wasted
At the contours
Of your face
Nothing matters anymore
Behind these doors
You know I'm yours
For always
My heart has atrophied
I left it at your feet
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up, oh
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up
When I think no one would care
If I live or I die
I know that you will be there
In the dirt by my side
Holding on to my hand
When times are getting real tough
You have always been there
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up, oh
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up, oh
Won't you lift me up
Won't you lift me up
​
5. Even If The Walls Come Crashing Down
There's freedom right outside my window
You can the shackles rattling
These prison walls are so unforgiving
Don't know how to repent my sins
I think I've come to grips
That I'll die like this
Even if the walls come crashing down
Down
Come crashing down
The moon is always there to listen
Somethings are better left imprisoned
Inside the pain has disappeared
Cause I'm a better person here
I think I've come to grips
That I'll die like this
Even if the walls came crashing down
Down
Come crashing down
​
6. Everyone Is Shouting
There's something going on
In fact, I think it's really quite absurd
Someone made remarks
That got under a couple people's nerves
There were comments out of anger
But nobody heard a word
Cause everyone was shouting
Everyone was shouting
Funny thing about it
They hadn't much to say
And then everybody broke
Into groups of similar opinion'd friends
And every time they spoke
They gained an even greater confidence
Cause you're always, always right
When preaching to your own choir
And everyone is shouting
Everyone is shouting
Funny thing about it
No one has much to say
And then everybody broke
Into groups of similar opinion'd friends
And every time they spoke
They gained an even greater confidence
Cause you're always, always right
When preaching to your own choir
And everyone is shouting
Everyone is shouting
Funny thing about it
No one has much to say
​
7. Rat Race
4:30 comes
Turn off the alarm
Brush my teeth and shower
Pick my clothes out in the dark
Morning's full of traffic
Every road I take
Every single day
I hear about the same delays
Go to work exhausted
Bags under my eyes
I guess I am important
Since my job tells me sometimes
Truth is that I care
And really, I am proud
But I can’t wait till retirement
A million years from now
This is all that’s left of me
There’s not a lot to show
For a life of tired dreams
It’s a little sad, I know
Everything I think about is you
You’re the only dream of mine come true
Everything I think about is you
You’re the only dream of mine come true
Cause I am an old fashioned
American workaholic
And I am 31 years old
My heart is burnt out
And no one seems to notice
Thems the brakes
Or so I am told
4:30 comes
Turn off the alarm
Brush my teeth and shower
Pick my clothes out in the dark
Morning full of traffic
Every road I take
Every single day
I hear about the same delays
4:30 comes
Turn off the alarm
Brush my teeth and shower
Pick my clothes out in the dark
Morning full of traffic
Every road I take
Every single day
I hear about the same delays
​
8. Sunday, It's Over
Red wooden hanging porch swing
Paint has been chipped and weathered
Slivers of brown are showing
Autumn has scattered
Sunday, it’s over
Sunday, it's ooo . . .
Red wooden conversations
Creaking in through the door way
I still can't believe we're moving
Like wind on the highway
Sunday, it’s over
Sunday, it's ooo . . .
​
9. Player Piano
There's an old dusty relic
In the attic up the stairs
From the golden days of Porter,
Carmichael, and Berlin
It sounds like it has spent
a couple decades underwater
But I know it's got this power
Hidden deep within
Player piano, you’ve got soul
You got so much more than just a bunch of keys,
a bench, and a scroll
Cause you can play, what I could never play
Oh, won’t you take me back to simpler times
today
Player piano, toss me a rag
I got to clean the room of its blues before
the momentum starts to drag
Give me a beat, and I’ll kick it out my feet
Oh, won’t you come on back to simpler times with
me
Player piano, cake walking friend
You been striding around about Charleston
now and again
You can you play, what I wish I could play
Oh, won’t you take me back to simpler times today
​
10. You Don't Want To See It
Remember after school
We used to play
Basketball in your driveway
A yellow line of chalk
Was the three point line
My bleeding heart is still
Doing laps
Pocketed under wraps
Old enough to know
Not to let it show
Cause you don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t think really think that, do you?
I thought I knew you
You trying hard to make invisible disappear
And silently I watch cowardly
Trying to keep the peace
Looking at the floor
As everybody cheers
Cause you don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
Human rights bring out the worst
Human rights bring out the worst
(repeat to end)
Cause you don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
You don’t want to see it, do you?
​
11. Go Ahead And Cry
The bathroom echoes with every deep breath
A sterile silence is all you have left
Sometimes our lives don't go the way we plan
You don't have to talk about it
But you've got to let it out
Go ahead and cry
Some dreams take time
It's not your fault, no not at all, woah
Go ahead and cry
I know my feelings
Could never compare with yours
But I feel a worry
I wasn't prepared for
Sometimes life is hard, and I don't know why
But that iron smile you've been wearing
Is gonna bring you down
Go ahead and cry
Some dreams take time
It's not your fault, no not at all, woah
Go ahead and cry
​
12. Dreams Have Wings That Fly
Dreams have wings that fly
They'll take you for quite a ride
So hold tightly to
Your dreams so when they come true
They don't leave you far behind
Sometimes dreams slip away
When all of your passion decays
And if they should fly
Say a prayer with your last goodbye
That they might return again
They fly away when life gets hard
They fly away forgotten
When priorities have gotten in the way
of your heart
Dreams hate being ignored
Tucked in the back of a drawer
If they are tossed
In a past where they might get lost
Then what good is dreaming for
They fly away when life gets hard
They fly away forgotten
When priorities have gotten in the way
of your heart
Dreams hate being ignored
Tucked in the back of a drawer
If they are tossed
In a past where they might get lost
Then what good is dreaming for
