Goodbye 03:19
If I seem a little strange That's because I am No one left to blame I never gave a damn Friends come and go Seasons change But I'll let them know I won't forget their names See the years pass me by No more tears left to cry Singing songs about the rain No one got it anyway So now I say goodbye Saw a friend the other day Just wasn't the same Nothing left to say It's funny how things change But life goes on Growing up And our faces change Forever growing old See the years pass me by No more tears left to cry Singing songs about the rain No one got it anyway So now I say goodbye Brian, Michae,l David, Christy, Leslie left their mark on me Someone's on a plane to someplace I don't think I'll ever see If I could Yes I would Pack my bags Go on with you Got my coat Got my map On the way Going with you See the years pass me by No more tears left to cry Singing songs about the rain No one got it anyway So now I say goodbye

Retail Store 03:16
met you in the parking lot of a well known retail store signs were facing your direction right outside the door you held me in your arms as I held you tight in mine knowing everything was perfect everything was fine we knew that everything would turn out right everything was out of sight when I met the met the girl next door it sent my heartache walking out the door married on the morning of our high school senior prom no one had a clue as we were dancing arm and arm nothing was the same as you proudly took my name I asked you for your hand and you said take my heart instead you knew that everything would turn out right everything was out of sight as I met the met the girl next door it sent my heartache walking out the door dawn breaks into morning daylight turns to night my hands are all but bleeding everything's fine cause we know that everything would turn out right everything was out of sight as I met the met the girl next door it sent my heartache walking out the door

Letters 04:28
if you saw me on the street would you call my name or look me in the eyes hang your head in shame I call your name hoping maybe you will stay ask me how my life has been I call your name and all the memories flash by and I will often wonder why no on called me to ask me whether they could leave and stay forever did they ever mention my name found our letters in a box thought about our youth sometimes I'm alright but often I will cry I call your name hoping maybe you will stay ask me how my life has been I call your name and all the memories flash by and I will often wonder why no on called me to ask me whether they could leave and stay forever did they ever mention my name then you call me on the phone it's been a long long time talked for more than hours sweetness through the lines I call your name hoping maybe you will stay ask me how my life has been I call your name and all the memories flash by and I will often wonder why no on called me to ask me whether they could leave and stay forever did they ever mention my name

L.A. 04:16
I find a spot here on this couch as soft drink and a slouch and try to find away of moving to L.A. as I'm heading for the door I'm wanting nothing more than to have you by my side and if you asked me I would say I'd find a way to stay and make this place my home It's getting harder every day to move from where I lay to make myself move on to face another dawn as I'm heading for the door I'm wanting nothing more than to have you by my side and if you asked me I would say I'd find a way to stay and make this place my home and no my clothes are neatly packed no reason to look back I gladly say goodbye to those who sucked me dry as I'm heading for the door I'm wanting nothing more than to have you by my side and if you asked me I would say I'd find a way to stay and make this place my home

Royal Crown 05:10
your long dark hair frames a wealth of golden smiles and I stare seems to melt away the miles find another painted sky and I watch the headlights pass me by and I have waited long enough for now I never thought of this til now and I gotta find a way somehow to take your youth and tame it try to make it mine somehow doing everything to save it like a royal golden crown I read your words I've collected over time another verse I can place into this rhyme I walk into your little world and smile my shaking hands are getting wet and while you ask me if I'd like to come inside I never thought of this til now and I gotta find a way somehow to take your youth and tame it try to make it mine somehow doing everything to save it like a royal golden crown I find the words to say goodbye and I make and effort not to cry but I can feel the thunder forcing rain from shine I never thought of this til now and I gotta find a way somehow to take your youth and tame it try to make it mine somehow doing everything to save it like a royal golden crown

Disconnected 03:38
well I call the operator to connect me to your line will she tell me all your secrets gathered over time I don't know another number I don't know if one exists but I know your hearts unlisted disconnected from your lips and no one's on the line it's busy all the time I don't know the operator I don't even know the time but she's got me disconnected on a phone that isn't isn't mine now I'm driving down the highway just past 59 and I'm looking for an exit and reading hotel signs then I drive up to a payphone with a quarter and a dime and I ask the operator connect me one more time and no one's on the line it's busy all the time I don't know the operator I don't even know the time but she's got me disconnected on a phone that isn't isn't mine I don't know the operator I don't even know the time but she's got me disconnected on a phone that isn't mine

fell into my arms and made me love you your kisses gave me strength to carry on no one ever really meant I love you no one ever really showed they cared Christmas day reminds me of the simple way you love me and you say you always make today Christmas day you left your coat beside the table and looked at me like you were going to cry held me in your arms and said "I love you" stared you in the eyes and wondered why Christmas day reminds me of the simple way you love me and you say you always make today Christmas day

The Road 02:26
thinking of a warm summer's day how I wish I could go and all the games we would play out where no one would know and all the things you would say while your face it would glow reading Ernest Hemingway by the side of the road and all the times we would kiss your mouth like a rose taste of cherry on your lips little kiss on your nose and it's those times that I miss but you know how it goes when your parents got pissed and we took to the road now I'm staring at these cracks in the road like our lifetimes as we quickly grow old yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah hold my head up and laugh smile and throw on some clothes fill the car full of gas stroke some paint on your toes stand and fold up the map no one knows where you'll go leaving on a warm summer's day as we sail down the road

Fire 04:11
Here I sit to pen this song holding on to years long gone nothing left to lead me on can't help feel that I am done my fire is out spark has gone that lights the way to the story of my life don't let me go I'll let you know sit down and let you know the story of my life slip into this endless sleep right into this endless dream life outside my desperate reach nothing left to comfort me my fire is out spark has gone that lights the way to the story of my life don't let me go I'll let you know sit down and let you know the story of my life I fell asleep and had the strangest dreams fell into a pit of raging fire but it's gone the spark has died away my fire is out spark has gone that lights the way to the story of my life don't let me go I'll let you know sit down and let you know the story of my life

The Ocean 04:03
the waves are crashing slowly across the sand and me gonna leave my friends behind me on the beach and I'm leaving for the ocean way across the sea gonna find you where I left you I look up from the bottom the green and rocky reef I'm running out of air it's getting hard to breath and sitting in the ocean way across the sea gonna hold my breath and hope you come and rescue me cause I'm swimming in the ocean in the salty sea watching all those ten foot waves crashing over me and I'm fine now I'm dead and bloated little left of me seems like everybody's had a little piece of me and I'm getting tired won't they let me be just take my one good eye and hold it up to see that I'm swimming in the ocean in the salty sea watching all those ten foot waves crashing over me and I'm fine

Ordinary Man 04:02
take a little look here at this ordinary man he is searching for something that has slipped through his hands looking out the window looking in the trees tripping on the pavement and falling to his knees and he hides away behind his smile and says how are you how have you been it's good to see you you're feeling well I pray well don't just stand there come out and play It's a beautiful day for playing silly games your cares behind you as we call each other names I came to see you when your mother passed away your face just broke my heart take me back to the start take another look here as he giggles and smiles he has found a little part of him that has not come apart but he's still in the window looking in the trees as the world around him tries to bring him to his knees and he hides away behind his smile and says how are you how have you been it's good to see you you're feeling well I pray well don't just stand there come out and play It's a beautiful day for playing silly games your cares behind you as we call each other names I came to see you when your mother passed away your face just broke my heart take me back to the start

One of Them 04:46
Julie steps down the hall casting her eyes towards the floor moving past rows of her peers hoping she makes it to the door without someone staring or looking at her twice what is it haunting her soul will no one ever ask her does no one really care she's living in an artificial world she wants to be one of them she's changing her mind no one has offered her what she was looking to find Bobby is the anti-Christ hero making his scene at the fair fearless he makes his impression as he runs his long fingers though his hair as he walks through the door of his trailer in the woods his father nearly knocks him to the floor and he has none to talk to he has none to care he's fighting civil war here in his home and he hates every one of them fearing he'll find pieces of all of them leaving their mark on his mind both of them are growing up and finding they both have their place changing maturing and writing their name on the page Julie writes a number one novel Bobby's on tour with his band and here I sit with this pen in my hand as I think of you being a fan and I'm all alone and I'm out of place as I'm making this delicate change I'm gonna be the star on your wall I'm gonna be yeah I'm working I'm getting back up Angel threw her coat on the bed dancing for the lovers in her mind looking through the words of her heroes searching for someone with a sign and she looks through her pictures of Lennon and The Cure boys and teen idols with long hair and she cuts our their faces for places on her wall one day maybe she will put me there and then I can be one of them helping her write pages of memories that are much better than mine now we are one of them helping her write pages of memories someone to turn on the light someone to turn on the light someone to turn on the light

here as I sing my last song pray my last prayer then move along tears that once marked my past now lead the way as I pack my bags step onto the plane and sit back feel the engines pushing me back looking out the window and I wave I am the king of all things looking down and out onto your house I am the king of all things high above a kingdom made of clouds cause I am I am the king king of all things now as I look where I've been things I have done count every sin you my brother and friend give me the strength to leave you again step onto the plane and sit back feel the engines pushing me back looking out the window and I wave I am the king of all things looking down and out onto your house I am the king of all things high above a kingdom made of clouds cause I am I am the king king of all things
