You did it, you made it, congratulations
Try something new instead
No hesitation, go on and say it
Let's try it all again
Everything is fine again
Is that what you really meant
Or is it true because you keep repeating it
It ends how it began
And it begins how it ends
So let's start from the beginning, yeah
I really gotta go, so let's end this conversation
Ever since I said hello, I've been trying to escape them
I really gotta go, I'm always so impatient
That's what they've been saying
Whiskey muscles, royal rumble
Nothing subtle, I'm in trouble
No hesitation, go on and say it
Let's try it all again
Everything is fine again
It's not what you really meant
But it's true because you keep repeating it
It ends how it began
And it begins how it ends
So let's start from the beginning
Whiskey muscles, royal rumble
Nothing subtle, I think I'm in trouble
No hesitation, go on and say it
Let's try that all again

Window

I've been thinking I've had too much time
Maybe you should come and try to change my mind
Know it all, no I'm not
But I know the circles that you walked
But somehow you still write it off
I must have missed the month of June
They say don't look down but I do
Only fools follow the rules, who taught you
Everything I know comes from looking through that window
It's funny how you don't know the meaning
Driving as far as I can, wondering what state I'm in
Waking up to find out I'm still sleeping, can you believe it
Know it all, yes I am
But someday I'll need to accept
I'm way too deep in my own head
The highway is my way to get away from the long days
But I don't go too far away
Too much time when I'm without you
They say don't look down but I still do
And you can tell me why all the reasons and the rhymes
Make that distance only get longer, and
I made a bigger mess than the one I am
I'll let you wonder why you can't read it in my eyes
Do you remember when you said
The world is different than how you perceive it
Do you remember when I got out of the mess that I got in
Everything I know comes from looking through that window
It's funny how you never will believe me
Staying up in bed again, laughing at the state I'm in
Waking up to find out I'm still sleeping, can you believe it

Where did I go, I think I need to be reminded
My destination changes all the time
Where did you go, cause you're always occupying
Every single corner of my mind, yeah right
Through these lenses of these glasses
Between the cracks and scratches
I can barely see you, but I know what you're trying to do
Don't do that, you're breaking me into two halves
I'm seeing red out of the blue all because of you
Where did she go, now the whiskey tastes like water
Her definition of having fun is wrong
Where did I go, I turned around then I forgot her
It's definitely better when she's gone
Another one, I'm not done, the night has just begun
Through these lenses of these glasses
Between the cracks and scratches
I can barely see you, but I know what you're trying to do
Don't do that, you're breaking me into two halves
I'm seeing red out of the blue
Taste of your own medicine (like a dash of cinnamon)
And I highly recommend it
Taste of your own medicine (only burns a little bit)
Surprise, your eyes look a little wasted
Through these lenses of these glasses
Between the cracks and scratches
I can barely see you, is that you on the roof
You had (a hell of a time)
It's too bad (it's the end of the night)
See you tomorrow at the break of noon

Problem Solved
03:22
|
|

You can find me on the ceiling
I'll never change my ways
I solve problems with my routine
Repeat every seven days
I spend my time alone in my empty room full of gold
But I'll never sell my soul
You just keep on being you
And I'll keep being me
Let's walk around on the common ground
Sometimes I need to do
What's really bad for me
Stand back up just to hit the ground
I found the source of my confusion and all of the amusement
I've got a grip that I've been losing, direct effect of cruising
I guess I'll stop caring at all, problem solved
I finally found the feeling
Enough is enough with the bottom because I'm trying to break even
But I'm at odds with the only way back up
It's not warm enough
But it's been warming up
Salt-sprayed windshield, classic winter, way too long, I can't wait till it's done
So you just keep on being you
And I'll keep being me
Let's walk around on the common ground
Sometimes I need to do
What's really bad for me
Stand back up just to hit the ground
I found the source of my confusion and all of the amusement
I've got a grip that I've been losing, direct effect of cruising
I guess I'll stop caring at all and bring down everyone involved
Problem solved
That's exactly what I'll do
I'll keep being me

Shooters Shoot
02:53
|
|
||

Hit the ground running, running out of time
Superman is running on empty
Grabbed the wheel, threw the car in drive
And sped by at a hundred twenty
He's going faster all the time
But he can still stop on a dime
Not calm but so collected, ready for the unexpected
Across the universe he looked so hard to find it
He gets the motivation from chasing what he's chasing
Winners win, shooters shoot
Shooters shoot
He's still running, running for his life
Trying to reach the speed of light
Can't stop his machine gun mind
Bit the bullet as he ran the red light
He's going faster all the time
And he'll be laughing when he's ninety nine
Not calm but so collected, ready for the unexpected
Across the universe he looked so hard to find it
He gets the motivation from chasing what he's chasing
Winners win, shooters shoot
Shooters shoot
That motto seems so hollow

Instead

Let's suspend our common sense, let's be naive again
We've got no place to go back to but we know our destinations
From here the best that I can be will be a test for me
Slowly moving forward while the whole world is asleep
I told myself to always listen up
And always pay attention to all the little stuff
I told myself to remember what I could
So far so good
Let's pretend we have a chance to ride it till the end
Everything changed when we were away from all our friends
Distance makes a difference when there's so much in between
How do you move on from losing something that you need
I told myself to always listen up
Collect my recollections but don't think about them too much
I told myself to remember what I could
So far so good
You said you had it, had it but now it's gone
You said you held on, held on for way too long
Now you're way down trying to find a way out
Don't know what to do, what happened to you
Now you're way down trying to find a way out
So start climbing now
Instead of trying to blame this on
Yourself you're better off moving on
Now you're way down trying to find a way out
Are you getting through, I can't hear you
Cause my hearing's always disappearing when I'm next
To you
To you
Now you're way down trying to find a way out
Are you getting through, I can't hear you
Cause my hearing's always disappearing when I'm next
To you
To you

Parker's Climb
03:05

Is it just me or is it everyone
Seems like we're all just staring at the sun
Waiting for someone to shoot for the moon
No one's aiming but someone's gotta soon
I've lost track of all the times I've tried
To burn out the brightest bulb that lit the sky
And I was there until the screws fell out
Where were you when the sky came crashing down
So now I'm stepping up again, I won't wait till they say when
I've been there a million times, if I'm unprepared then I'll have a backup plan
So many people in this crowded place
Good spot to visit but I'd never stay
It's like trying to stand your ground in space
So I float around, and gravitate away
So now we're stepping up again, we won't wait till they say go
Making it happen, no words, actions
Making this our own
If we fall back down, we're not climbing out
So don't stop to think about how we got where we are now
If we fall back down
We might hit the ground
If we fall back down, yeah

Back to You
03:33
|
|

A little bit of patience can go a long long way
But we keep getting lost in the talking and talking without anything to say
And we're bouncing off the walls, we bounce off each other, we ricochet
But we keep getting lost in the talking and talking anyway
Down is up when you're upside down
Which way's up when you're around
I just saw you today
I'm second-hand inebriated
That second hand is moving
What have I been doing
That's what I've been wondering
As my eyes keep wandering
Back to you, back to you, back back to you
It's automatic
If you're following my eyes
I'm on another planet, planning my landing
Back to earth just in time
And we're bouncing out of here, we're bouncing, making a getaway
But we went so far that we made our way into outer space
Down is up when you're upside down
Which way's up when you're around
I just saw you today, yeah
I'm second-hand inebriated
That second hand is moving
What have I been doing
As my eyes keep wandering
Back to you, back to you
Down and up and up is down
But I like having you around
That's what I'm trying to say but
I'm second-hand inebriated
That second hand is spinning
Every second every minute
My eyes will roam
But they always go right
Back to you, back to you, back back to you

Moving Train
04:10
|
|

Four long years to seal your fate
Like jumping on a moving train
Bitter sweetness, acquired taste
Running out of time to waste
Someday you'll need to try to climb the tallest mountainside
Someday you'll need to try to change the landscape of your life
Need to know when to get off
Sinking feeling you missed your stop
Off the rails, you've lost your way
The dangers of jumping on moving trains
Someday you'll need to try to climb the tallest mountainside
Someday you'll realize that you've finally arrived
Is there anyone out there, anyone listening
There's something I need to say
I think it's funny but the joke is a little too late
Going down a steep decline
Upside down or left side right
I think it's funny but the joke is a little too late
Everyone out there, with or without them
They're only getting in my way
I think it's funny but the joke ain't
Four years down, paper trophy
Quick and painless ceremony
I think it's funny but the joke is a little too late
Off the rails, you've lost your way
The dangers of jumping on moving trains
Stressing out on move-in day
This should be funny...

Winter in Florida
03:26

I see my breath between the words that take me back
To the golf course that we used as a race track
Every time I shine I burn a hole right through
Both my pockets, now my change is loose
I ran out of excuses to stay in Massachusetts
I tried to stick around but I had to head down south
I lost the invitation to the permanent vacation
I don't belong, so long, I'm gone
It's like knowing what I need to know
Without going where I need to go
Breathing in I feel the words between my breath
Reminding me of why I need to just forget
I think about a different route as I pass through
Every road and every avenue to you
I ran out of excuses for why I need to do this
I needed to get going before it started snowing
You said I'm acting different now, I've got it figured out
Did I do what you accused me, absolutely
It's like knowing what I need to know
Without going where I need to go
I put all I have into a little zip lock bag
Now it's time to unpack, welcome home, welcome back
And now I'm back in Massachusetts
Don't need to ask forgiveness cause you weren't there to witness
You said I'm acting different now, I've got it figured out
Did I do what you accused me, absolutely, please excuse me
I told you it was warming up
But that's not the case in Florida
Winter isn't cold, there's a different kind of snow
I got older, it got old, it was time for me to go

What Happened To

No seatbelt on the ride of your life
Safety's overrated, do it your way you'll be fine
You can prove them wrong or you can prove them right
Caution, heads up
You'll never learn if you don't screw up
That hurt don't it
Just rub some dirt on it
Show me where it hurts
We can't go back
To being young
But we can act like kids
For as long as we want
Do the math, it won't add up
Dream jobs just don't pay enough
Warning, don't touch
Touched it, oh shit, what the fuck
That hurt don't it
Just rub some dirt on it
Show me where it hurts, you're building character
We can't go back
To being young
But we can act like kids
For as long as we want
What happened to, what happened to, the things we used to do
It's been a while since I've seen you, a while since I've seen you
What happened to, what happened to, the things we used to do
The things we used to do
What happened to, what happened to, the things we used to do
It's been a while since I've seen you, a while since you've been around
What happened to, what happened to, the things we used to do
Well I never got back to you
The way I am, the way it's been, is it coming up again
Is it coming through the music?
The way it goes, it goes to show, you may not ever know
