Overtime

I heard a voice
And my world came apart
How could a sound so innocent
Strike such fear to the heart
Am I in chains
Am I set free
Is a fight with the secondhand
All that's left for me
I hope you understand
That I'm doing all I can
And I go to extremes
Just to provide you a change in scene
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
Till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
Deep into the night
But I'm coming home soon
Baby I can turn out the lights
So don't wait up
Like you always do
Because God knows I'm a sinner
Acting like I'm a winner for you
I hope you understand
That I'd do that it all again
We've been lost in a dream
With each day the same
So it seems
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
Till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
And I'm late again
Burning down both ends
And I can't see the end
While I break, you bend
And it's all that I know
I just pray that it shows
It's for you that I can't let it go
(Yeah)
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
Till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Woah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Yeah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime

Nothing New
04:49
|

South bound drive on a desert night
Cruise control at 95
Watching for the Vegas lights
Still not sure how we all got in
With white shirts and innocence
Heavens on hold again
Baby and I a said
Oh my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
Oh my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new
You were a girl that I’d seen around
I never heard you make a sound
You always had your head down
But there was something in the way you walked
I couldn’t resist the thought
That someday I would find you here where we’d never get caught and
Oh my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
Oh my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new
Oh my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
I said oh my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new

Miles Ahead
04:05
|
|||
|
Time
Time stands still
And I’m in over my head cause I
I’ve heard looks can kill
I’m wondering how I’m not dead
Cuz one look from you could turn me right to stone
One word could cut me deeper than I’ve ever known
You know
That I can never look back
You’re that freeway queen
Running reds like green
I’m that teenage kid
Running things back in my head
Life’s your stage and scene
Your script is so obscene
I play I forget
When you say things you’ve said
Acting like your life won’t end
Yet each night is the last again
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead
Love
We found love
Will we lose it like everyone does**
I’m feeling too high up
I see you’re loving this rush
A one time killer can’t get enough
You draw blood and you paint with a dark brush
You’re the one
And I can never look back
You’re that freeway queen
Running reds like green
I’m that teenage kid
Running things back in my head
Life’s your stage and scene
Your script is so obscene
I play I forget
When you say things you’ve said
Acting like your life won’t end
Yet each night is the last again
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead
And when the night is over and you’ve got nowhere to go
I will be there to break your fall
And I know that it sounds soft but I would love to walk you home
You’re that freeway queen
Running reds like green
I’m that teenage kid
Running things back in my head
You’re that freeway queen
Running reds like green
I’m that teenage kid
Running things back in my head
Life’s your stage and scene
Your script is so obscene
I play I forget
When you say things you’ve said
Acting like your life won’t end
Yet each night is the last again
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead
I keep running I can give up when I’m dead
I keep running but forever you’re miles ahead

Devils in the Canyon
03:25
|
|||
|
Tossed out of heaven
Out on the run
I don't know where we're going
But we've been coming undone for quite some time
Oh don't you give me those eyes
Cause there's no turning back
And with forever on the line
I'm hoping heaven has the heart to cut us some slack
Oh mother won't you say a prayer
A prayer that can make it out alive
Oh honey let's ride
Like devils to the canyon
Oh honey let's hide
From the angels in the mountains
Back in the valley they're boarding their windows
Tonight
Cause there's devils in the canyon
Here we lie in the shadows
In the wind and the rain
While back at home the gallows
Have been surrounded and the village is calling our names
And your body is shaking
As the world caves in
Wrapped in each other and the night
It feels like we've been forgiven of all our sins
And it's ok to be scared
But I think we're gonna make it out alive
Oh honey let's ride
Like devils to the canyon
Oh honey let's hide
From the angels in the mountains
Back in the valley they're boarding their windows
Tonight
Cause there's devils in the canyon
But they never came
Was the darkness playing games
With our heads
The night turned to day
And we're leaving all the shame where we found it
And I'm gonna say a prayer
A prayer that they can make it out alive
Oh honey let's ride
Like devils to the canyon
Oh honey let's hide
From the angels in the mountains
Back in the valley they're boarding their windows
Tonight
Cause there's devils in the canyon

Take Me as I Am
03:43
|
|||
|
I don’t know why
I always let the good things pass me by
Hard as I try
I’m paralyzed until I hear you cry
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
Hey Hey
If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
And we'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
I can be cold
I can look deep at everything I’m told
But if you take my hand
I’ll do my best to try and understand
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
And we'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
I don’t know the way
But you’ll never see it on my face
Can you take me as I am
And It’s hard to change
I’ve been a fool who won’t accept delay
Can you take me as I am
Just give me one more day
To learn to love come what may
I know I’ll need the same
If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
And we'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am

Looking for Love

You’re such a daddy’s girl
Living inside your head
He told you honey don’t you ever let the voices in
Oh I know he taught you right
You’re such a pretty girl
Sometimes you share my bed
I try to talk you into staying but I never can
You disappear into the night
And I know
You’re looking for a way out
But you can’t let go
Maybe we found a light, a light, a light so don’t leave now
You think it’s crazy so you just won’t say it
You’re looking for a love
I see you fight it but you just can’t hide it
You’re looking for a love
Cuz you’re a modern girl taking on the world
With your sights on the stars above
But you’re looking for a love
Yeah you’re looking for a love
You say it’s city life
You’re putting in the time
You’ll never get it if you’re only working working 9-5
Oh just give me what you can
But I know
I know that we could work it out
And I won’t let go
I know we found a light a light a light so don’t leave me now
You think it’s crazy so you just won’t say it
You’re looking for a love
I see you fight it but you just can’t hide it
You’re looking for a love
Cuz you’re a modern girl taking on the world
With your sights on the stars above
But you’re looking for a love
Yeah you’re looking for a love

Painkillers
03:57

I watch your friends
Table three
Drinkin' away their jealousy
I watch your brother
Tryin' to hide
A case of wandering eyes
As your daddy in the back is spending money that he don't have
And your cousin in the front spendin' time with another man
And they’re begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from they were young so they won’t remember
That they’re begging for painkillers
Ah-Yeah
So we play the songs from when they were young and we try to remember
We're playin' the painkillers
Get on your feet
Lets start pretending
We'll be the soundtrack for the scene
Where reality
Plays the enemy
'Cause we're barely hangin' on to the dream
Cast fate as the love that we're fighting for
We have it all and can still use a little more
And they’re begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from they were young so they won’t remember
That they’re begging for painkillers
Ah-Yeah
So we play the songs from they were young and we try to remember
We're playin' the painkillers
Wooh!
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
'Cause they're begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from they were young so they won't remember
That they're begging for painkillers
Ah-Yeah
So we play the songs from they were young and we try to remember
Let's all move to the painkillers
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away

All the Way
03:30

I was lost in a wave when I met you
Just a boy
Just a runaway on my own
You took me by the hand and lead me to the gates of heaven
Oh but I couldn’t get in
You begged’em can’t we bend the rules tonight… tonight… tonight…
Cuz we’re going all the way
All the way to the bottom
Yeah we’re going all the way
All the way tonight
I could play this part forever
Until the end of days
And longer if I may
I know that you’ve had your doubts since the day that you met me
When I said hey
Do you want to bend the rules tonight… tonight… tonight…
Cuz we’re going all the way
All the way to the bottom
Yeah we’re going all the way
All the way
Yeah we’re going all the way
All the way tonight
Never felt like this before
Like my world’s come apart and I’m scared
But I want more
And I hope and I pray everyday when you walk my way
That you have no doubt
I won’t let you down

I’ve been your friend for quite a while now
I’ve been the one who knows you best
And you’ve been missing all the ques somehow
But when I lie to rest
You ask me to stay
What a curious scene
You’re gone when I wake
What a curious thing
I had the strangest dream
You had your hands on me
You said tonight don’t think
About what it all means
I want to see you in morning
But the memory escapes
Or did you leave without a warning
It’s all so very strange
I ask you stay
In this fantasy
I cry when I wake
What a curious thing
I had the strangest dream
You put your hands on me
You said tonight don’t think
About what it all means
We’ll test the waters
We’ll test the seas
I had the strangest dream
About you and me
Was it all in my head
Or were you here in my bed
If I said
It was odd
You could take it either way in the end
I had the strangest dream
You put your hands on me
You said tonight don’t think
About what it all means
We’ll test the waters
We’ll test the seas
I had the strangest
About you and me
I had the strangest dream
You put your hands on me
You said tonight don’t think
About what it all means
We’ll test the waters
We’ll test the seas
I had the strangest
About you and me

The World Keeps Turning
04:00
|

Another day
Another year
Coming ‘round again
It’s hard knowing when to live for the present
Cuz time’s an unreliable friend
While the world keeps turning
Another Hope
Another dream
Staring down the road
It’s easy wishing for another life
And twice as hard to face the known
While the world keeps turnin’
And the heart keeps searchin’
Only one thing’s certain
When we get lost along the way
We’ll keep on burnin’
Another dime
Another cage
Seems like it’s been awhile
Since we were young and wild like fire
Cuz we’re convinced that we’ve gone out of style
Another breath
Another calm
You’re never on your own
Nobody knows what they’re doing tomorrow
So we’re all forced to soldier on
While the world keeps turnin’
And the heart keeps searchin’
Only one thing’s certain
When we get lost along the way
The world keeps turnin’
And the heart keeps searchin’
Only one thing’s certain
When we get lost along the way
We’ll keep on burnin’
I will pray for rain
When the clouds above your head have turned to gray
I will pray for rain
When the clouds above your head have turned to gray
The world keeps turnin’
And the heart keeps searchin’
Only one thing’s certain
When we get lost along the way
The world keeps turnin’
And the heart keeps searchin’
Only one thing’s certain
When we get lost along the way
We’ll keep on burnin’
We’ll keep on burnin’
We’ll keep on burnin’
We’ll keep on burnin’

Through the Silence
03:48
|

I can still remember
How you got the heads to turn
You told your friends you’d never
I told mine to watch learn
It was my finest performance
I told you every story even better than rehearsed
Now youth fades before us
At times I don’t know what to say but still a fire burns
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
We could steal away
Tell ourselves it’s still the same
Buy ourselves a new life
Any price to bend the time
Do others have it better?
I hate myself for asking but the question still remains
I’m in this forever
I don’t need an answer cuz I’ll love you still the same
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
At your end of the room
(Ah)
Buried deep in your mind
(Oh)
If you need me to reach you
(Ah)
I’ll be here anytime
(Oh)
They can take all the ups
(Ah)
They can take all the downs
(Oh)
In the quietest moments
(Ah)
There’s a voice ringing out
(Oh)
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you)
Through the silence
(I can hear the words you say)
(I can hear the words you say)
Through the silence

In This Time Apart
03:44
|
|||
|
We said goodbye beyond the bend
And I turned my sails into the wind
Eager to face the trail ahead
“I’m so proud” is all you said
But here where I have fought to be
I prefer your memory
And I know
That only the foolish show their cards
But I can’t hold on
I’ve been lost in this time apart
Can I say that it’s been hard
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been lost in this time apart
In this time apart
I learned that I need you
In this time apart
I’m losing track of where I’ve been
In the same new town and the same new bed
I try to re-invent your face again
It’s never clear as I intend
And I know
That only the foolish show their cards
But I can’t hold on
I’ve been lost in this time apart
Can I say you it’s been hard
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been lost in this time apart
In this time apart
I learned that I need you
In this time apart
In this time apart
In this time apart
I learned that I need you
That I want you
Can’t breathe without you
I can’t face the world alone
Even the strongest need a home
And only the foolish show their cards
But I can’t hold on
I’ve been lost in this time apart
Can I say you it’s been hard
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been lost in this time apart
In this time apart
I learned that I need you
In this time apart
I learned that I need you
I learned that I need you
