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

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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 01:54

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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

Baby, Help Me Find My Way 05:15

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
