Blue 52 04:22
Standing in the middle of yet another crowd I feel my eyes get heavy, and all I want is sleep Looking on a sea of empty faces filled with hopes and fears With table shifting ‘round louder than I’d care Are you there, can you hear me? Are you there at all? I drift along the current, scream my silent question No one seems to notice, and I just want to feel The fingerprints of warm hands, knowing that you hear me You listen to my story, help me carry on Are you there, can you hear me? Are you there at all? Are you there, can you hear me? Are you there at all? I just want to sleep I just want to feel I just need to know Are you there, can you hear me? Are you there at all? Are you there, can you hear me? Are you there at all?

No One Else 03:14
I remember the first time that I saw You standing right there before me I tried to think of clever things to say But I settled for how are you And then I knew you were the one That God himself had placed here for me I know it’s said all the time but I I don’t care. It’s how I feel Cause there is no one else that I want by my side There is no one else to hold me through the night There is no one else to keep me strong but you You make the bad things seem all right You make the good things even better And there is nothing that could seem so important When I am thinking of you And when I look into your eyes Well, all I can see is my life with you And when I think of where we’ve been well I can’t help But get excited for where we’ll be Cause there is no one else that I want by my side There is no one else to hold me through the night There is no one else to keep me strong but you Throughout the good times and the bad I may not always like you, but I’ll always be glad To have you by my side

Broken Watch 04:45
My watch never did Keep time all that well If fixed, maybe things would be different My watch never did Keep time all that well If fixed, maybe things would be different But now we can never tell I wasn’t all that late Two minutes, maybe three But those two minutes were all that it took Now you’ll never hear from me It’s been years since we talked I don’t know where you are Now you’re married and all that I have Is a memory of the back of your car I wonder if I made you happy If you remember me fondly I wonder if you’re happier still Cause you never hear from me My watch never did Keep time all that well I guess maybe it’s for the better But now it’s too soon to tell I guess maybe it’s for the better But now it’s too soon to tell

I'll Be Fine 03:22
It hurts me to see how happy you are When all my emotions are gray You said I'm not the one for you, it's time to move on But I'm just not made that way I hate to wake up and not see you there I thought you were here to stay I try to forget how you looked at me But eyes just aren't made that wa They say time heals all wounds. I'm not one to agree When I look in her eyes, it's you I see Today, yes I know, that I look like a mess Tomorrow I'll be ok I wish you the best. I'll be fine on my own because I'm just made that way I wish you the best. I'll be fine on my own because I'm just made that way

When you look When you look into my eyes When you look into my eyes can you tell me what you see Can you see Can you see what I’ve become Can you see what I’ve become or do you see only me Because I I don’t know what I’m to do Without you I’m lost, it’s true Can you please take me When you look When you look into my eyes When you look into my eyes can you tell me what you see Cause I don’t know I don’t know what I’ve become I don’t know what I’ve become without you here next to me Because I I don’t know what I’m to do Without you I’m lost, it’s true Can you please take me When you look When you look into my eyes When you look into my eyes can you tell me what you see

Neat 03:01
I almost had it all, then I lost everything All that’s left to me is my name But I don’t need your pity. The only thing I need Is to drown my sorrows and pain Bartender you ask me what I’d like to drink Well it’s been a long day and I can hardly think My life is such a mess, so if you’re asking me I’ll take my whiskey neat The last one that we’d pull and then we’d all go clean Then I saw them gun him down Don’t ask me what I mean. No, don’t say anything Just pour me another round Bartender you ask me about my drink of choice Well, I don’t need anything to water down my poison My life is such a mess, so maybe what I need Is to take my whiskey neat Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I brought it on myself Now this glass is my only friend I’m drinking till I’m numb and I still hurt like hell Just keep pourin’ till I say when Bartender you ask me what I’d like to drink Well it’s been a long day and I can hardly think My life is such a mess, so maybe what I need Is to take my whiskey neat So I’ll take my whiskey neat Yeah I’ll take my whiskey neat
