Take My Word For It
Wonder what it’s like to be
Trapped inside your head
Making a mess of things
Try to fix something instead
Put your foot down ain’t the way
Doesn’t get you anywhere
Are you seeing things your way
Make it up out of thin air
I don’t know who you’re listenin’ to
Why you think you’re never wrong
And not aware of what you do
And I don’t know why you think I’m to blame
There’s nothing further from the truth
Take my word for it
Take my word for it
I am just being rational
But you thinking it’s not true
Now you take it personal
While this mess is all on you
And I know you’re very sure
It’s my fault that you are hurt
But you’re really insecure
Always digging in the dirt
I don’t know who you’re listenin’ to
Why you think you’re never wrong
And not aware of what you do
And I don’t know why you think I’m to blame
There’s nothing further from the truth
Take my word for it
Take my word for it
It really ain’t so hard to see
But you gotta face reality
Cause this wasn’t meant to be
Just chill out and talk to me
I don’t know who you’re listenin’ to
Why you think you’re never wrong
And not aware of what you do
And I don’t know why you think I’m to blame
There’s nothing further from the truth
Take my word for it
Take my word for it
How It’s Gonna Be
You traced your name
In the dust on my shelf
Talked about futures
You kept to yourself
Pulled at my threads
’til the pattern ran clear
You drank from the well
Then you left it here
Tell me how it’s gonna be
Am I just the shadow
Where you learned to see?
Now you’ve taken
All that you needed from me
Am I anything at all
Tell me how it’s gonna be
You folded my days
Like receipts in your coat
Every small kindness
A tally
A note
Your hunger was holy
You called it a dream
I opened my hands
You opened the seam
Tell me how it’s gonna be
Am I just the echo
Of your old debris?
Now you’ve taken
What you came to find in me
Am I anything at all
Tell me how it’s gonna be
Was I your mirror
Or your spare key
A quiet room
For you to leave
The weight you never named
If I am empty now
Is that what you planned
Or what you made
Tell me how it’s gonna be
Am I just the silence
Where you felt set free?
Now you’ve taken
What you came at, finding me
Am I anything at all
Tell me how it’s gonna be
Unknown Destination
We’re on a road
No traffic signs
No guiding lights
Where will it lead us to?
There’s clouds above
They’re dark and grim
Our headlights dimmed
Will we see this through?
We’re gonna need to depend on ourselves
There’s nobody there who can help
So search in the depths of your soul
Can you trust me enough to keep it whole
Cause you and me
We both don’t know
Where we’re really going
But we’ll have to keep
Some stability
Just to keep It all flowing
There’s no place for stagnation
No room for frustration
Not until we reach this
Unknown destination
Let’s watch our speed
Some caution’s due
Enjoy the view
We have to make the best of it
Let’s keep things calm
And concentrate
Just calibrate
And put up with the rest of it
We’re gonna need to depend on ourselves
There’s nobody there who can help
So search in the depths of your soul
Can you trust me enough to keep it whole
Cause you and me
We both don’t know
Where we’re really going
But we’ll have to keep
Some stability
Just to keep It all flowing
There’s no place for stagnation
No room for frustration
Not until we reach this
Unknown destination
Cause you and me
We both don’t know
Where we’re really going
But we’ll have to keep
Some stability
Just to keep It all flowing
There’s no place for stagnation
No room for frustration
Not until we reach this
Unknown destination
Unknown destination
We’re going to
An unknown destination
Unknown destination
We’re going to
An unknown destination
Unknown destination
Unknown destination
Be Yourself To Me
Would I’ve gone out of my way to be near you
If I didn’t need you like Earth needs the rain
And if there are times when you think I don’t hear you
Is this what you want to hear me say
The worst you do
Is good enough for me
And the best you do
Is the best that there can be
So don’t go trying to be anything for me
Come into my arms
And just be yourself to me
Be yourself to me
A love so deep knows many emotions
Sometimes they can be like the waves of the sea
But just lay back and enjoy the ocean
‘Cause you’ve got nothing to prove to me
The worst you do
Is good enough for me
And the best you do
Is the best that there can be
So don’t go trying to be anything for me
Come into my arms
And just be yourself to me
Be yourself to me
There may have been times when I tried to control you
Just thinking that’s how love is meant to be
But I’ve found a much better way to console you
If you really love someone,
You gotta want them to feel free
All I care about is that you care for me
So come into my arms
And be yourself to me
The worst you do
Is good enough for me
And the best you do
Is the best that there can be
All I care about is that you care for me
Come into my arms
And just be yourself to me
Be yourself to me
Come into my arms
And just be yourself to me
Be yourself to me
More To Life
Most people are just chasing money
They can’t see there’s never enough
They’re desperate for milk and honey
Especially when the going gets tough
But what about love and compassion
Isn’t that supposed to be dear
They tell me that just ain’t the fashion
And everyone’s making it clear
You only live once now
What will you leave behind
You tellin me somehow
It’s the cash that rules your mind
How can life be a transaction
Just a matter of budgets and bills
Frankly I don’t see the attraction
Those numbers are nothing but frills
Cause value is not your possessions
It’s what you mean to others that counts
Just know that there’s more to life
More to life
Make it all about love
While you’re around
When your pockets are full there are people
Who call you their friend all the time
But you know that their friendship is feeble
They won’t be around, when you’re left with no dime
As soon as you find your health lacking
You’ll know there’s no price tag on that
You’ll find that the coins you’ve been stacking
Can’t match the act of love that you need so bad
You only live once now
What will you leave behind
You tellin me somehow
It’s the cash that rules your mind
How can life be a transaction
Just a matter of budgets and bills
Frankly I don’t see the attraction
Those numbers are nothing but frills
Cause value is not your possessions
It’s what you mean to others that counts
Just know that there’s more to life
More to life
Make it all about love
While you’re around
Cause value is not your possessions
It’s what you mean to others that counts
Just know that there’s more to life
More to life
Make it all about love
While you’re around
Just know that there’s more to life
More to life
Make it all about love
While you’re around
Just know that there’s more to life
More to life
Make it all about love
While you’re around
Get Real
I may say you’re a dreamer
And you’re not the only one
But if I tell you you’re a schemer
You may not take it in good fun
If things worked out to your advantage
It doesn’t mean they always will
Go ahead and think that you will manage
But one day you may have to pay the bill
Feel free to ignore my observations
But just don’t raise your expectations
Get real
Life is not a simple game
Get real
You don’t get to shift the blame
Get real
What if it all comes falling down
Get real
What goes around will come around
You’re so smug, it ain’t even funny
So convinced you got it right
But to get value for your money
You may have to drop the fight
You’re a dreamer like I told you
Cause you can’t see your plans will fail
If your hammer still controls you
You just think everything’s a nail
Feel free to ignore my observations
But just don’t raise your expectations
Get real
Life is not a simple game
Get real
You don’t get to shift the blame
Get real
What if it all comes falling down
Get real
What goes around will come around
Get real
Not everything’s about how you feel
Get real
Maybe let me take the wheel
Get real
Give those wounds a chance to heal
Get real
Cause being real is the real deal
Get real
Get real
Get real
You Do You
Left me on read in the middle of a meltdown
You were out front taking pictures of your new shoes
I’m on the floor
You’re checking how the lens looks
Guess I was just a backdrop in your good news
You do you
I’ll do me
If your world’s that small
I’ll just let you be
You do you
But you won’t do me
You can love that mirror
It’s not my scene
You do you
I’ll do me
Got my heart to heal
My soul to treat
You do you
I’ll do me
You can keep that crown
Let me have my peace
Tornado talk
Every story’s all about you
I bring my storm
You change the channel on my sky
You’re like a sun that never asks if I’m burning
I’m just a plant in the window watching time go by
You do you
I’ll do me
If your world’s that small
I’ll just let you be
You do you
But you won’t do me
You can love that mirror
It’s not my scene
You do you
I’ll do me
Got my heart to heal
My soul to keep
You do you
I’ll do me
You can keep that crown
Let me have my peace
You drain my light like a charger with a cut wire
I pour my days in your cup
Still you say “it’s not full”
You’re at the head of the table counting your praises
I’m on the edge with an empty plate
Chewing on “I’m a fool”
I’m done being background to your headline dream
Cutting the strings on this puppet routine
If I’m a bird in your cage
Then I’ll snap that key
Let the sky write the rest of the story for me
You do you
I’ll do me
If your world’s that small
I’ll just let you be
You do you
But you won’t do me
You can love that mirror
It’s not my scene
You do you
I’ll do me
Got my heart to heal
My soul to keep
You do you
I’ll do me
You can keep that crown
Let me have my peace
Change
Can you feel the wind of change
Fresh upon your face
Can you smell the fragrant air
Rejuvenate your space
Do you hear the song of birds
Announcing the new day
Do you sense the birth of words
That promise a new way
No matter how today
may seem the final way
It never stays the same
It always goes away
No matter how we feel
The one thing that is real
You cant hold on forever to those chains
Hail the wind of change
Can you see that shining light
Bursting through the skies
Can you watch it burn so bright
It almost hurts the eyes
Do you touch the morning dew
That evenly was sprayed
And washed away without ado
The dust of yesterday
No matter how today
may seem the final way
It never stays the same
It always goes away
No matter how we feel
The one thing that is real
You cant hold on forever to those chains
Hail the wind of change
Can you feel the wind of change
Welcome like the dawn
Everything gets rearranged
As today is drawn
Do you sense the mystery
Of what is yet to come
The breeze erasing history
Time beating its drum
No matter how today
may seem the final way
It never stays the same
It always goes away
No matter how we feel
The one thing that is real
You cant hold on forever to those chains
Hail the wind of change
Just let it go
Let it flow
Welcome to the wind of change
Just let it go
Let it blow
Can you feel the wind of change
Gratitude
Didn’t I stand by you every moment
Didn’t I reach out a helping hand
Didn’t I bear with the pain and the torment
Didn’t I show you I understand
Wasn’t I there in your times of trouble
Wasn’t I here at your beck and call
Why did you have to burst my bubble
Cash in the prize and then build a wall
Didn’t I hand you an open wallet
Didn’t I say I’d spare no expense
Tell you the truth I don’t care what you call it
Say I’m a fool I will take no offence
Where would you be if I hadn’t been faithful
Wouldn’t you be in a pool of disgrace
Is it too much for you to be grateful
Is it a chore to put a smile on my face
Never again love
Never again
Don’t ask when love
Cause that was then
Live in peace with your attitude
You’ll preclude
The gratitude
All that’s left now is platitude
Won’t be rude
Just not understood
I know you’ll never admit that you wronged me
I know you’ll always believe you’re right
Taking for granted is how you reward me
Nothing can make you see the light
Don’t think I’ll ever cease to love you
Don’t think I’ll ever cease to care
But gone is the time when there’s nothing above you
Gone is the time when I’m always there
Live in peace with your attitude
You’ll preclude
The gratitude
All that’s left now is platitude
Won’t be rude
Just not understood
Live in peace with your attitude
You’ll preclude
The gratitude
All that’s left now is platitude
Won’t be rude
Just not understood
Never again love
Never again
Don’t ask when love
Cause that was then
