The Boat

Oh no I've been stranded in a place I can't escape
And my thoughts come rolling in like the waves
Oh my mind's an ocean, stormy weather out at sea
And I try to navigate, but my boat sinks under me
And I'm floating in the water singing songs
Cause sometimes you'll find it helpful to be wrong
The waves begin to calm down and I find a bigger boat
Something strong enough for weather but still small enough to float
The sea might win its battles but I'm sure to win the war
And it can try to keep me sunk but that's what bigger boats are for
And sometimes you'll find it helpful to be wrong
Cause the waves start getting smaller till they're gone
What if I told you I'd been lost at sea forever and a day
Over thought my life away
What would you say?
Oh no I've been stranded in a place I can't escape
And my thoughts come rolling in like the waves
Oh my mind's an ocean, stormy weather out at sea
And I try to navigate, but my boat sinks under me
And I'm floating in the water singing songs
Cause sometimes you'll find it helpful to be wrong
And you'll find a bigger boat than the last one
Cause you know that in the end the war is won
The war is won, the war is won
The war is won

It's Okay

Fall into my open arms, it's alright
You don't have to be scared anymore
Let me take care of you now, you're still scared
But you've got past what scared you before
We all make mistakes sometimes and blame it on the wind
We all lose our minds sometimes and let the outside in
Please just be fair, I've got so much to share
I can't bear to not care anymore
This life you see, it can frighten or flee
To the depths of the sea from the shore
Okay
We all make mistakes sometimes and blame it on the wind
We all lose our minds sometimes and let the outside in
It's okay
It's okay now
You can't be, feeling so down
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for
Those times I knocked on your door and said
We all make mistakes sometimes and blame it on the wind
We all lose our minds sometimes and let the outside
We all make mistakes sometimes and blame it on the wind
We all lose our minds sometimes and let the outside in

Tomorrow

The world's a bigger place now than it was when I was small
Even though my brain got smarter and I'm twice as tall
I'm packing up my things and leaving childhood behind
But I don't know for certain what I'll do or what I'll find
I could be eaten by this monster we call life
Or I could kill the beast and find a pretty wife
Cause I'm
On my own, everything I ever
Should have known, is coming back to be my
New best friend, and the conversations
Never end, and I'm tired of being scared
Holding on to what is there
Tomorrow
It's a bittersweet sensation when you taste the new found air
Far away from home but you still have to stop and stare
Back to the past, time doesn't last
It moved you out before you ever got to ask
But I can't stumble over things I can't control
I've got to make up for the memories time stole
Cause I'm
On my own, everything I ever
Should have known, is coming back to be my
New best friend, and the conversations
Never end, and I'm tired of being scared
Holding on to what is there
Cause I'm
On my own, everything I ever
Should have known, is coming back to be my
New best friend, and the conversations
Never end, and I'm tired of being scared
Holding on to what is there
Tomorrow

82 or 23
02:44

The rain begins to fall
I don't like the rain at all
But hey I'm still alive and well
So I just can't complain
I know I want, I want, to be a better man
I know I need, I need, to do the best I can
Because our time on earth is not for free
You could pay the price at 82 or 23
The electric bill's too high
To iron my suit and tie
But I won't say I'm unhappy
Cause it still looks okay
I know I want, I want, to be a better man
I know I need, I need, to do the best I can
Because our time on earth is not for free
You could pay the price at 82 or 23
And when I'm gone
I hope you say
That I was different from the rest
That I made my mark
On everyone
And I only tried my best
I know I want, I want, to be a better man
I know I need, I need, to do the best I can
Because our time on earth is not for free
You could pay the price at 82 or 23
I know I want, I want, to be a better man
I know I need, I need, to do the best I can
Because our time on earth is not for free
You could pay the price at 82 or 23

Mind Back
04:11
|
|||
|
I'm searching far and wide
For something I can't hide
I feel it on my fingertips but I
Can't look inside
It's been my strongest weakness
I think I'll always seek this
A sense of what has meaning but I'm stuck
Repeating the same mistakes
I can't find myself, I put my
Mind up on a shelf, and I can't
Reach it anymore, so please excuse
My unlocked doors
I've been letting people in
Hoping they can help me win my mind back
Sometimes in life you can be lonely and sometimes you can be sad
But if you find yourself then being lonely doesn't seem so bad
As for being sad, you might just have to wait it out
Wait for a day you can say you figured it all out
People say you should only trust you
Advise and confide in you in everything that you choose to do
It's only right that you keep it inside
Inside your mind where nobody else has the right to find
What you think, what you see, and what you know
And what you think you see and what you think you shouldn't know
And every day you change a bit and every day you grow
But don't let anyone else be the man and say they told you so
I can't find myself, I put my
Mind up on a shelf, and I can't
Reach it anymore, so please excuse
My unlocked doors
I've been letting people in
Hoping they can help me win my mind back
We will find ourselves, but there will be
So many shelves, and we will
Reach but we will find, that we moved
On and changed our mind

The Ballad of the Show
04:29
|
|||
|
She stands alone with eyes of stone
Just waiting to go on
She takes the show you'd never know
That inside she was gone
For she was so decidedly
On to better things you see
And she could not be hiding any longer
No one wants a knight in shining armor
We can't be their puppets any longer
And we will find a way to win this
Say it now we're our own witness
She tries to run away for good
The moment seems so right
But low, behold with something bold
Her luck has changed tonight
The looming figure in the ring
Beckons her to dance and sing
The strength she found begins to fade
But will come back another day
No one wants a knight in shining armor
We can't be their puppets any longer
And we will find a way to win this
Say it now we're our own witness
Waiting a moment to assess the situation
We can feel a certain need to conform
To mannerisms present opportunities we're left with
And no self expression fighting the war
But we can't lose ourselves in all the promises we make
No one wants a knight in shining armor
We can't be their puppets any longer
And we will find a way to win this
Say it now we're our own witness

In the Sun
03:02
|

|
I wake up, soon as I'm out the door
Running late, but what am I running for
Go around, see who I'm supposed to see
Think I found, found who I'm supposed to be
For the most part I can't stray too far from the plan
But I've got my own hands
I won't take too long
But I'll still sing this song, in the sun
In the sun, I'll take my time having fun
But I won't wander far
I know I want to run to the sun
It's keeping my mind off getting things done
And I know I'll stay inside of my dream
Cause I know it's still a dream
Yeah I know it's still a dream
Yeah I know it's still a dream
Yeah I know it's still a dream
I won't take too long
But I'll still sing this song, in the sun
In the sun, I'll take my time having fun
But I won't wander far

Belong

Dreaming of these things
Ideas with wings
They fly too high to reach
But I want one of each
And I keep climbing ever higher
But I've sunk too deep
So let it be known
That I might not make it if I try
Let it be shown
That I was a fool before I cried
And I could show you places I went wrong
But that's where I belong
I accept defeat
Reluctantly I sleep
But I'm not done forgetting what
I just might one day need
So let it be known
That I might not make it if I try
Let it be shown
That I was a fool before I cried
And I could show you places I went wrong
But that's where I belong
That's where I belong
