Another Day

Should I be as happy as I am right now?
Another wake in a mid morn slump
Was I dreaming too long?
A cup of tea whenever I want
I always have it too strong
Another day goes by
And I still can’t believe it
Believe that this is happening now
You cry
To find an escape the tears running down your face
I sigh
Should I be as happy as I am right now?
Should I be as happy as I am right now
Oh no
All these things that I never could do
Restricted by the time
There is no pressure I am lifted
It feels so right
Why does it feel so right?
Another day goes by
And I still can’t believe it
Believe that this is happening now
You cry
To find an escape the tears running down your face
I sigh
Should I be as happy as I am right now?
Should I be as happy as I am right now
Oh no
These four walls surround me
Wherever I go
But I don’t mind one bit
As I am learning to grow
There’s all this time in this precious world
With nowhere to be
Nowhere to be
Another day goes by
And I still can’t believe it
Believe that this is happening now
You cry
To find an escape the tears running down your face
I sigh
Should I be as happy as I am right now?
I have craved this high
And I still can’t believe it
Believe that this is happening now
You cry
To forget the mistakes you can’t carry all this blame
I smile
Should I be as happy as I am right now?
Should I feel as ready as I do right now?
Should I be as happy as I am right now?
Should I be as happy as I am right now
Oh no

Caught In

I’m caught in the middle of it
The world is falling apart
Held captive and living in it
Before you know it it’s dark
It’s time to depart
No we can’t stop now it’s all in a minute
It’s a lot falling through the trap
One step forward no fast track ticket
Then from nowhere we’re back
It’s time to retract
When you’re feeling like you’re static and there’s nowhere to go
Overflowing with emotion and you’re ready to blow
A simple kind of tragic interrupting the flow
Yeah I’m caught in I’m caught in
Making up for the times that we’re missing
There’s a lot fallen through the cracks
When it’s over we’ll take back the minutes
Oh forever to pass
Defining the class
When you’re feeling like you’re static and there’s nowhere to go
Overflowing with emotion and you’re ready to blow
A simple kind of tragic interrupting the flow
There’s an over sense of panic when you look to the past
Never knowing of a notion and we’re signing a pact
A little kind of magic from the first to the last
Yeah I’m caught in I’m caught in
Feeling you’re static static
Over sense of panic panic no
Feeling you’re static static
An over sense of panic no
When you’re feeling like you’re static static
An over sense of panic panic
When you’re feeling like you’re static static
An over sense of panic panic
When you’re feeling like you’re static and there’s nowhere to go
Overflowing with emotion and you’re ready to blow
A simple kind of tragic interrupting the flow
There’s an over sense of panic when you look to the past
Never knowing of a notion and we’re signing a pact
A little kind of magic from the first to the last,
Yeah I’m caught in I’m caught in

Two Sides

You’ve overstayed your welcome
The cops are coming over you better run
An anxious conversation
It leads to overstatements
You cannot stop for a minute alone in this world
If you do somebody will let you know
You‘re out of time
And read the same old storyline
Wishing for another life
Can we just go back
Can we just go back
I’m scrolling through the silence
Feel like I’m losing balance through the lies
I know I do it too much
But what else is there to do when I’m alone
You cannot stop for a minute alone in this world
If you do somebody will let you know
You‘re out of time
And read the same old storyline
Wishing for another life
Can we just go back
Oh come on get a grip of yourself it’s not that bad
Oh come on get a hold of yourself it’s alright to be sad
Oh come on get a grip of yourself it’s not that bad
You’re allowed to do these things you know
Just stop for a minute and let it go
If you do somebody will let you know
They’ll be on your side
Through the good and bad you grow
Listen learn put on a show
It’ll make you glad
It’ll make you glad
As I watch the trees blowing left to right
I know everybody will have two sides

Take It From Me
03:25

It may seem like we’re on our own
With nothing left but all these stones
This is always playing on my mind
I need you to see we’re not out of time
I know I’ll see you on the road
You gotta believe me
When I say there’ll be a saving grace you’ll see me
We’re not losing time
I need you to see that there’s another way
You gotta believe me
And take it from me take it from me
Overcome to live and learn
Leaving behind all of the hurt
We’re always creating our own crimes
Last to admit we’re losing light
I know I’ll see you on the road
You gotta believe me
When I say there’ll be a saving grace you’ll see me
We’re not losing time
I need you to see that there’s another way
You gotta believe me
And take it from me take it from me
Waiting on some serendipity
Feeling like we’re in a fantasy
This situation which we can’t explain
You gotta believe me
When I say there’ll be a saving grace you’ll see me
We’re not losing time
I need you to see that there’s another way
You gotta believe me
Oh
You gotta believe me
When I say there’ll be a chance to change completely
We’re not out of time
‘Cause even the days when the skies return to grey
Won’t let it defeat me
You gotta believe me
You gotta believe me
You gotta believe me

Stride

Yeah I touch your sides
Wondering where I’ll go
Making shapes in the sky
Planning all of these shows oh
It’s after hours and I can’t see
What’s going on
Are they watching what I’m doing
Watching what I’m doing
But this voice keeps saying to me
You can take it in your stride
You can make it in your mind
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through so you can take it in your stride
Watch the clouds separate
Yeah I know what I said
That was yesterdays’ news
I’m sewing into a thread
That can never be used oh
It’s after hours and I can’t see
What’s going on
Are they watching
These higher powers are they looking down
From their mighty mount
Are they watching what I’m doing
Watching what I’m doing
But this voice keeps saying to me
You can take it in your stride
You can make it in your mind
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through so you can take it your stride
Watch the clouds separate
You can take it in your stride
Let all your fears subside
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through so you can take it
You can take it in your stride
You can make it in your mind
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through so you can take it
You can make it in your mind
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through so you can take it
You can make it in your mind
You can take it in your stride
Let love shine through, love shine through
Yeah I touch your sides
Wondering where I’ll go
Making shapes in the sky
Planning all of these shows
