Follow the path of lives I've owned
My past is lined with bones
Hollow homes and empty thrones
Left behind me to remind me how I've grown
Will I be all that I've ever been?
The wind retells my story as it blows
Memories are just as footprints in dust
Time is only measured by the shadows

We all got a story … so I’ve been told
Met an old street poet sat outside a dive I used to know
He strummed his old guitar looked straight into my eyes
He started to cry, I asked him, why
I could see the regret, the pain, the words written on his face
The sad chords of the song of the life that he had played
I listened to his song as he told me this
the story that was his
I was born a young man missed my childhood, so it seemed
Lived too many years behind the shadows I believed
Damn I wasted memories on a pocketful of dreams
That were lies
Had no Kings or Aces not one face card to my name
Walked around in circles no directions to the games
Every roll of dice… another snake eyes… who’s to blame
Guess that’s life… The House … The House wins again…
The only thing they left me, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies
Pocket full of lies didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise
Thought that I was living, but I been… wastin’ all my time
Guess it took this lifetime, to appreciate the loss… gone… gone
He told me… every word I whisper has taste of poet’s truth
Lived too far in life’s charade… for me to lie to you
Listen or you don’t... decide this on your own
But for me
The House… always wins
Only thing they left me, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies
Pocket full of lies he didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise
Thought he’d been living, he’s been… wastin’ all his time
GUESS IT TOOK HIS LIFETIME TO APPRECIATE THE LOSS…
GONE… GONE
Only thing they left him, was a pocket, a pocketful of lies

I don’t know what you were thinkin’
But I didn’t only want you on the weekend
There are parts of my love I don’t want you to touch
But it don’t mean I don’t want you Just As Much
Didn’t say what I was thinkin’
‘Cuz it was fun I did the drug you did the drinkin’
But I felt something more, maybe more than a crush
And I hope that you feel like that Just As Much
I’m sure my late-night text didn’t leave a good impression
But I’m for real ‘bout you baby, so here’s my confession…Do you…
…Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you
Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok
It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything
So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much
Can you tell me what you’re thinkin’?,
‘Cuz I feel like this is more than sneaky linkin’
And I’m letting you know that I want you a bunch
And I hope that you’re wanting me Just As Much
More than anything I never want enough of our connection
You’re all that I want, so I’m asking the question…Do you…
…Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you
Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok
It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything
So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much
I don’t think so much into the future, love can be a tricky maneuver
But I think about it as much as you
Just as much, hey baby do you think you’re in love? You’re in love too?
Do you…
…Feel the same way too, can’t seem to get enough of you
Wanna to be with you night and day, yeah and I’m thinkin’ that’s ok
It might just be a fling, but I’m willing to do anything
So I’m giving you a nudge, to see if you want me Just As Much

It's sooner than I’d like to see you go
But before you leave, you need to know
You’ve been a friend to me, and you’ve touched my soul
Usually I’m fine with letting go
But I’m going to miss you
They’re going to miss you
We’re going to miss, that's for sure
Though the time was short, we’ve had fun
Made fools of ourselves in front of everyone
There is no-one else, your the only one
Who's meant to become what you will become
But I’m going to miss you
They’re going to miss you
We’re going to miss, that's for sure
I’m going to miss you
They’re going to miss you
We’re going to miss, that's for sure
We’re going to miss, that's for sure

Thought I would be okay once we parted ways
Thought I’d get over getting over you
You would be wandering in limbo
Somewhere in space and time in the back of my mind
God never sleeps but angels do
Where temptations feed all my dreams
In this magnificent obsession
Somewhere between love and longing
Lie the hours of gray doubt
I came back for you
My friends tell me not to stray far from this course
My friends all say that I will get through these days
Perfumed distraction is all I need now
Love won’t let me forget it demands a sacrifice
God never sleeps but angels do
Where temptations feed all my dreams
In this magnificent obsession
Somewhere between love and longing
Lie the hours of gray doubt
I came back for you
I go on dates and my friends say that I should move on
It’s all in vain, cause your heart takes over me
Alone I’m dancing until midnight
With ghost of you - your face is all I can see
God never sleeps but angels do
Your wings must be burnt I smell fire
I pray to get some love out of you
I was too well used to desire
Desperately in need to cope
I came back for you

Have you heard about the girl that can play that thing?
Well I could listen each and every day
And she plays with the stars and the sun and the moon
I believe everything they say
She picks me up when I’m so down
She knows and I didn’t have to say
She picks up the fiddle I fly away... Such love, Jenee
Jenee, she starts playin and will tell you everything there is to know
Jenee, even little kids like to dance until their feet grow sore
Well, I never thought it could be this good
Now I believe it every time she plays
Come on in unpack the violin Good to see you Jenee
Now I can’t think of what was bringin me down
Can’t think no matter how hard I try
And I’d like to be dancin’ in her arms
Just like every other guy
Did anybody ever really move like that?
I let out an audible sigh
Well I like to hear her play every single way
Sweeter than a pecan pie
Jenee, she plays those strings
and she sings like and angel in the sky
Jenee she starts playin all you can say is “my my”
Well I thought I’d seen every thing
Thought I was a reasonable guy
She starts playin and it takes me away… Jenee can take you flyin

I regret, the first time I choose not to kiss you goodbye
You were running late, had to go, we didn’t try, just told a lie
and made it so
As the days passed, our fast embrace somehow became
more or less, a race
We kept upping the pace, and saying goodbyes in disguise,
hiding our face
Last chance
Last breath
The final dance
The death of romance
I regret, the first time I choose, not to tell you a lie
It was getting late, and I didn’t care I didn’t try to tell you a why
It wasn’t fair
Why do you need a plan just to love me
How can we pick one day of the week
Should it take such an effort to touch me
In passing, just a brush the cheek
Are we fooling ourselves
When it was easy, we never knew it
When it was hard, we just couldn’t do it
Throwing dishes with a, “I’m done, and screw it!”
And that was easy, weren’t nothing to it
Last chance
Last breath
The final dance
The death of romance
The death of romance

Cent jours se sont passés
One hundred days have passed
Depuis l'entrée en conflit
Since the entry in conflict
de deux identités
of two identities
Déchirant les douces nuits
Tearing apart the sweet nights
Assise entre deux feux
Sitting between two fires
Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté
You turn your ear to one side
Assise au beau milieu
Sitting in the middle
Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre
But will you be able to dance
Mais pourras-tu danser
You cast your eyes to the other
Au milieu du No Man's Land
In the middle of No Man's Land
Quand la nuit apaisée
When the night has calmed down
Balayera enfin les cendres?
Will finally sweep away the ashes?
Assise entre deux feux
Sitting between two fires
Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté
You turn your ear to one side
Assise au beau milieu
Sitting in the middle
Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre
You cast your eyes to the other
Assise entre deux feux
Sitting between two fires
Tu tends l'oreille d'un côté
You turn your ear to one side
Assise au beau milieu
Sitting in the middle
Tu lances les yeux vers l'autre
You cast your eyes to the other

The world gets crazy, and no one knows
and it takes too long, but I'll turn it around,
I'll be there
If the birds aren't flyin', and the cows don't moo
and everything is upside down, well,
I'll be there
I'll be there when you wake, I'll be there when you're blue
I'll be there when the sun goes down, yes,
I'll be there
I will keep fallin' for you, It's only fair
Everyday, I will find you - you know I'll always care
If your day moves slow, and it just won't flow
If the sun doesn't shine and there's no rhyme, well
I'll be there
I've seen rivers flow, and I just don't know
If they'll go down or flood the town, but
I'll be there
The world gets hazy, and well, you know it too
and it takes all we can give it, honey, but
I'll be there
I will keep fallin' for you, It's only fair
Everyday I will find you - you know I'll always care
I'll be there
I'll be there oh yea, I'll be there
I'll be there I'll be there

Something I learned today
Black and white is always gray
Need to read between the lines
Sometimes the truth is very hard to find
Gotta keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
Something I learned today
So many things I never learned in school
Ashamed that America didn’t follow the golden rule
History of genocide and race riot massacres
Left out of history books pretend it never occurred
Something I learned today
Black and white is always gray
Need to read between the lines
Sometimes the truth is very hard to find
Gotta keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
Something I learned today
Information is weaponized to reflect the winner’s view
Feeding propaganda to little kids in all the schools
History is doomed to repeat itself
God’s chosen country afraid to look at itself
Something I learned today
Black and white is always gray
Need to read between the lines
Sometimes the truth is very hard to find
Gotta keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
Something I learned today
Something I learned today
Something I learned today
Something I learned today

Campfire on the lake shore
Roasting s’mores just right
Sunsets over the bay
Slow strolls in the moonlight
Watching toddler’s first steps
Mother’s kiss on a skinned knee
Children’s squeals of joy
Little ones living carefree
Sometimes the smallest things
Take up the most room in your heart
Cherished moments that
Give life its spark
Joking with old pals
Kidding and poking fun
Teasing to show we care
Telling tall tales we’ve spun
Road trips both short and long
Countrysides, historic towns
Seashores, mountains too
Taking in the sights and sounds
Yeah, Sometimes the smallest things
Take up the most room in your heart
Cherished moments that
Give life its spark
Watching snow fall at night
Bourbon’s warm glow on the rocks
Sweet smell of a cracking fire
Curled up sharing love talks
Helping a stranger
Before being asked
Feels good to do it
No matter the task
Yeah, Sometimes the smallest things
Take up the most room in your heart
Cherished moments that
Give life its spark

He won’t explain the giggles and the little moan
The things you thought you heard when he answered his phone
Was he playing you? You didn’t have a clue oh
I know I know I know what you’re going through
My boyfriend is cheating on you
It was innocent enough a smile then a touch
More lies, second tries late nights and such
Girl you’re so confused you don’t even know which lies are true oh
I know I know I know I know what you’re going through
My boyfriend is cheating on you
He was out, all night ‘til the break of light
Hair a mess, and that shirt so tight
(I know I know I know I know)
Don’t beat yourself up try to end it all
He would be destroyed If you took a fall
You’re his new thing and all
Did he blow up defensive with tears like rain
Swore your accusations were totally insane
Then conceded… kneeled down and pleaded
“Didn’t mean anything” Out of the blue oh
I know I know I know what you’re going through
My boyfriend is cheating on you
He was out, all night ‘til the break of light
Hair a mess, and that shirt so tight
(He was looking so good)
(I know I know I know I know)
It's not your fault so don't you crawl
First thing he wants is two girls to brawl
He may never find love again LOL
It was innocent enough a smile then a touch
I lost my pride, I cried and did this, and that and such
He shared your secrets, betrayed you
Snuck around and played you, said if
I won’t take him back then you’ll just half to make do
he said “I LOVE you” I know I know I know
what you’re going through
My boyfriend is cheating on you
