Nothin' on my mind but victory
I came here to see this through
There's nothin' in my heart but fortitude
There's nothin' in my way but you
Nothin in my way but you
Nothin' left to gain but everything
Now ain't the time for rest
There's nothin' left to lose but worries, y'all
Nothin' left to give but my best
Nothin' left to give but my best
Nothin' left to give but my best
I got a purpose and a thorn in my side
I got a target and an axe to grind
So if you're with me let me hear you now
We don't need nobody to show us how
Let's bring it on home, boys
We got it now
Bring it on home, boys
We got it
We got it
We got it now

Boot Camp
02:17
|

You can make time for me maybe
I'm too busy there's no way
How's the boot camp gonna save me?
Don't give in, you'll be okay
Hey I think I'm going crazy
Who ain't crazy now these days
All my comrades look so lazy
Like those summers by the bay
On y va de lay de lah
Run, run start to fly
When you breathe new air
Feel just like the brown bear
Underneath the brick-red sky
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better in the morning
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better at night
Winter can be bright
You can make time for me maybe
I'm too busy there's no way
How's the boot camp gonna save me?
Don't give in, you'll be okay
Hey I think I'm going crazy
Who ain't crazy now these days
All my comrades look so lazy
Like those summers by the bay
On y va de lay de lah
Run, run start to fly
When you reach your dreams
You know what I mean
'Cause dreams, they never die
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better in the morning
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better at night
Winter can be bright
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better in the morning
And you'll feel
You'll feel
You'll feel better at night
Winter can be bright

Smilin' Instead
03:33
|
|||
I could focus on how fragile love can be
Let more worries enter into my head
I could fear the future and uncertainty
But I'll just think of you smilin' instead
I could let the ghosts creep back from my past
And fill my troubled heart with a terrible dread
But ain't nothin' haunting me, no I'm free from them at last
When I think of you smilin' instead
I could overthink before I even speak
Hold on tight to all those rules that I've been fed
But that ain't the way to find the answers that I seek
So I'll just think of you smilin' instead
For my mistakes I tell you truly I have paid
But it's to you that this long winding path has led
I do not regret any choices that I've made
When I think of you smilin' instead
I don't need to hear you say that this is real
That which is strongest can be felt and never said
If you wanna tell me how you truly feel
Just show me that smile instead

To San Francisco
04:15
|

The stewardess says that we have a full flight
So I'm glad that I always pack light
The stewardess says that we have a full flight
But I'm not quite sure she's right
Because there's one empty seat
It's right next to me
It's where you should be
I heard those words you said about me leaving
Yes I guess I heard them loud and clear
Oh, what a tangled web I'm weaving
My body roams and my heart stays right here
But I've never been to San Francisco
I don't know if you ever knew this
But you've had it in you all along
So tell me how you think you won't get through this
I'll tell you several ways in which you're wrong
And I still wanna go to San Francisco
In the end our enemies won't prosper
Though it seems right now their strength is gone
But I guess I should've taken their first offer
'Cause now they've stolen all my favorite songs
And I may never go to San Francisco
Lately I have noticed
A reoccuring theme
Of almost perfect moments
With the same missing piece
Lately I have noticed
A reoccuring theme
Of almost perfect moments
With the same missing piece
I'm pretty sure it's you
You
Write some words and put them in a bottle
Maybe someone finds it and understands
This world ain't looking much like last year's model
Because it don't conform to my little plans
And I still wanna go to San Francisco

Gillis Lake

I ask her why
She's smiling at me
She says just because
She's happy
And I can relate
Oh, I can relate
She's my relief
She's falling asleep
Still holding my hand
And I'm falling hard
But she's a soft place to land
Sirens and storms
Oh, the world is reborn
It's spinning for her
The morning comes
I welcome it in
But she's still asleep
So I kiss her again
With her by my side
Oh, with her in my life
I'm happy I'm me

Thank You, Honey
03:19
|

Our love (if it was ever love at all)
Bonded two sad, separate souls
Standing only so as not to fall
Landlocked by conflicting goals
Thank you, honey
For leaving me
Thank you, honey
For closing the door
Oh, 'cause you set me free
So heartlessly
And I'm happier than ever before
Well I find more joy in one day now
Than in the year I was with you
No more worrying or constant doubts
Skies out here are always blue
Thank you, honey
For leaving me
Thank you, honey
For closing the door
Oh, 'cause you set me free
So heartlessly
And I'm happier than ever before
Yeah this new life's not too bad on me
No more do I dream of you
I hope you're fine wherever you may be
And that you always stay there too
Thank you, honey
For leaving me
Thank you, honey
For closing the door
Oh, 'cause you set me free
So heartlessly
And I'm happier than ever before
If I could travel back through time and space
Maybe meet my former self
I would smack me hard right on the face
Knock out them feelings I felt
Thank you, honey
For leaving me
Thank you, honey
For closing the door
Oh, 'cause you set me free
So heartlessly
And I'm happier than ever before
Well I don't know and I don't care
If there's something still there
Inside that freezing arctic heart of yours
If you'd only listen close to me
Well then perhaps you would see
That we were on the same side in this war
We simply lost what we were fighting for

Pirate
03:27
|

Walking these streets
A ghost in your clothes
Fell out and apart
From all you know
They say that you're fine
You're doing quite well
And I'm okay, too
There's not much to tell
If you give away your gold
You ain't much of a pirate
You can keep your cannon cold
You got no reason now to fire it
I won't ask you to remember me
I don't know why
You were out in that storm
The thunder, it crashed
And the rain, how it poured
Took one flash of light
To change all of our plans
Your life, as they say
Was in God's hands
We don't talk these days
There's nothing left to say
If you give away your gold
You ain't much of a pirate
You can keep your cannon cold
You got no reason now to fire it
I won't ask you to remember me
The hospital room
The murmurs and beeps
They said you'd be fine
But you needed some sleep
When you opened your eyes
You spoke not my name
You looked right through me
And everything changed
We don't talk these days
I guess there's nothing left to say
If you give away your gold
You ain't much of a pirate
You can keep your cannon cold
You got no reason now to fire it
I won't ask you to remember
If you give away your gold
You ain't much of a pirate
You can keep your cannon cold
You got no reason now to fire it
I won't ask you to remember me

Hollow Bones
04:49
|

I know we are young
But we don't have forever
No, we won't live forever
And if I had my way
You and I would be together
We would always be together, yeah
I don't want your love
If it's meant for another
Is it meant for another?
And I don't know how long
You can play these games you're playing
You can say these words you're saying
So I'm taking a stand
I'm not afraid to be your foe
This is my line in the sand
And I think that you should know
That I've got
Hollow bones to help me fly
My quick resounding heartbeat doesn't lie
And I know you've got
Great big dreams for you and me
You say, “Just leave your home and meet me by the sea”
This feeling, it won't last
Leave these words unchanged
It's a love song, it's a hate song
It's an I'm-not-gonna-wait song
I don't give a ----
If you miss our conversations
Cause I don't miss our conversations
When you go home at night
Do you wish that he was me?
You'll never have your business right
'Til you give up your silly dreams
And I've got
Hollow bones to help me fly
My quick resounding hearbeat never lies
And I know you've got
Great big dreams for you and me
You say, “Just leave your home and meet me by the sea”
This feeling soon will pass
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear me?
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear me?
The day will never come
The day will never come
The day will never come
I'll stay right here
And I've got
Hollow bones to help me fly
My quick resounding heartbeat doesn't lie
And I know you've got
Great big dreams for you and me
You say, “Just leave your home and meet me by the sea”
This feeling's fading fast

You show up late and you ain't sorry
I don't care, this ain't my party
And it's not like I've been searching high and low
So you don't think my jokes are funny
Well, I don't think you get them, honey
And it's getting pretty late, you'd better go
You talk about how much you make
More with every drink you take
But you don't even pretend to try to pay
And if you think my town's such a bore
Just don't come 'round here no more
Saint Paul's fine without you anyway
And this whole scene
Ain't pulling me in no more
I forget
What it was I came here for
But I certainly don't need you
This time I'm sure
I don't care about your mother
I don't care about your brother
And I sure don't give a ---- about your dog
Counting down each passing second
Til I can run far from this wreck, and
My memory wraps this night in fog
This whole scene
Ain't pulling me in no more
And I forget
What it was I came here for
But I certainly don't need you
This time I'm sure
You're just some time that I've been killing
My guts intact, they won't be spilling
But everybody plays these silly games
Tonight we'll sleep in separate beds
With dreams of others in our heads
Tomorrow, let's forget each other's names
This whole scene
Ain't pulling me in no more
I forget
What it was I came here for
But I certainly don't need you
This time I'm sure

I'd follow my dreams if I only knew where they were going
I'm trying real hard to keep my insecurities from showing
And you know I can't stop them cold, cold winds from blowing
So baby, help me find my way
I'm struggling and I'm striving, I'm doing all them things they said I should
But lately, man, I'm finding that all this just ain't working like they said it would
I'm constantly searching this whole wide world for the true and the good
Oh, baby, help me find my way
I know I still got some wide, wide rivers to cross
But with every turn I make, I only find myself more lost
I wanted the prize, but I did not consider the cost
And baby, help me find my way
My ramblin' old heart drove so many lovers from my door
I guess I just never knew exactly what it was I was looking for
Traveling through this nation from shore to sparkling shore
Oh, baby, help me find my way
Don't wanna wrong nobody, I just wanna get all that's mine
But I'm constantly reminded that life's a tall ladder to climb
And even the freest man needs a hand from time to time
So baby, help me find my way
My car's gonna break down, so I only drive it when I must
My old bike, it screeches 'cause the chain's all full of rust
But I just bought my train ticket, now it's Birmingham or bust
And baby, help me find my way
