Where You Are My best instinct was to burn all the pictures I sold the car that we used to drive But now I fear I'll finally discover What it was I never wanted to find As I bleed you out I'm falling down So hold me now Well I'm calling all my friends But they're not around Well it's like we never met And I wish I never found out What you are Well of any place I've seen I just want to be Where you are But we both know what we did We wear our problems on our skin Yeah, I am flawed, but I'm always in motion Does that mean that I'm best alone And if I stay and I fake motivation I've thrown away our happy home So I bleed you out I'm falling down So hold me now Well I'm calling all my friends But they're not around Well it's like we never met And I wish I never found out What you are Well of any place I've seen I just want to be Where you are But we both know what we did We wear our problems on our skin Well I, I took a plane out east When I heard you speak my name And I, I'll never stop If you promise me the same I'll bleed you out I'm falling down So hold me now Well I'm calling all my friends But they've moved on Well it's like we never met And I wish I never found out What you are Well of any place I've seen I just want to be Where you are But we both know what we did We wear our problems on our skin Some will win and some will lose Well I feel like I've lost again So I bleed you out

Grow 04:02
Grow Well I was always running on my way To collecting my chips So I could have them all When I met you, I gave up the chase I built up that house, and watched the roof fall When I let you in And all the chances that I didn't take They're all coming back around to haunt me now But you took my hand, and made me stand up Taller than I ever did baby When I let you in If I lost my faith, I'd believe in you If I lost my eyes, I would see you The walls I've built are coming down I can feel again And the warning signs that line my walls You've given me reason after reason not to heed their words They cause no worry to me I believe it started on the day When I let you in If I lost my faith, I'd believe in you If I lost my eyes, I would see you The walls I've built are coming down I can feel again Now I let you in If I lost my faith, I'd believe in you If I lost my eyes, I would see you The walls I've built are coming down I can feel again

The Radio 04:25
The Radio Foolish lines and just a little resolve Sleeping by the telephone Two weeks was all it took to make you all of mine So turn this up and let the feelings flow Remember how it felt to feel it grow I'll write the songs about how the feeling goes away Woah... Can you feel me on your radio? I want to cut you like you let me down You should've known That you had my head and were holding on to my heart You fall in love, and you throw it out I drove you out to 31st & Park Undressing you in the back of a car I couldn't tell you today who was it led, and who followed You said "I love you, but I love to lose" "And me, well I ain't got no excuse" The kind of hits you gave me baby don't leave no bruises Woah... Can you feel me on your radio? I want to cut you like you let me down You should've known That you had my head and were holding on to my heart You fall in love, and you throw it out Like all of our nights you drank away Saying I was the chance you wouldn't take Lovin's more than bullet for your gun Tell me girl, what're you running from? Woah... Can you feel me on your radio? I want to cut you like you let me down, yeah You should've known That you had my head and were holding on to my heart You fall in love, and you throw it out Like all of our nights you drank away Saying I was the chance you wouldn't take Lovin's more than bullet for your gun Tell me girl, what're you running from?

In Too Deep 03:53
In Too Deep She's got everything she wants She plays guitars And she dances like the movies So tell me something I don't know This could be over in a minute Or the start of something more Oh, here we go... I met her when she crashed her car She fell on my chair Now she's knocking on my hotel door Yeah, say no... Oh but now you've gone and done it You're so out of line Instead of sleeping at night I'm out killing time with you She's got everything she wants She plays guitars And she dances like the movies She's got enough to leave my head A mess inside When I saw her there I couldn't help but stare And watch the days turn into weeks Oh God, by now I'm in too deep I'm in too deep She said to me "I've been here before Well I know what it's like To meet a man with a mouth Just like yours Well I know that you talk something smooth Why don't you save it for later And just shut up and move" Oh yeah, I do... Oh but now you've gone and done it You're all out of line God damn, it's four in the morning And I'm headed home with you She's got everything she wants She plays guitars And she dances like the movies She's got enough to leave my head A mess inside When I saw her there I couldn't help but stare And watch the days turn into weeks Oh God, by now I'm in too deep Well she said "Tell me something I don't know Like the way your shirt looks On the floor" Tell me this is not all in my head She's got everything she wants She plays guitars And she dances like the movies She's got enough to leave my head A mess inside When I saw her there I couldn't help but stare And watch the days turn into weeks Oh God, by now I'm in too deep
5.
The Spark 03:42
The Spark Wait outside a San Francisco bar With your heart of steel Drive until the silence breaks us down My hands on the wheel Oh, now you're messing with the message That I gave you And the simple thought Of my heart, and your heart Intertwined How're we going to live if we don't try? Well I won't let you pass me by You are the one that takes the chances You are the spark that starts the fires You are the one that keeps the late nights And when I'm falling to pieces You mend me You've got enough behind your eyes To see me for who I am So why is such a lovely little thing like you Running 'round with me again and again Oh, getting even's such an easy thing to do, doll When you know me through and through And my heart, and your heart Are intertwined How're we going to live if we don't try? Well I won't let you pass me by You are the one that takes the chances You are the spark that starts the fires You are the one that keeps the late nights And when I'm falling to pieces You mend me You are the one that takes the chances You are the spark that starts the fires You are the one that keeps the late nights And when I'm falling to pieces You mend me
6.
I'm Waiting 03:28
I'm Waiting It's kind of hard to be lonely lately I've been riding around with this girl in my head Ever since she showed me last night's faces I've been thinking of the places I could take her in Well I want you to love me, baby And I want you to rattle my bones And I want you to stay now, baby Well surely you don't sleep alone And I'm waiting For the day when you are not just a stranger I'll be the one to finally deal with your danger I will have you, I will have my salvation When I take you, little mama And rub the chip on your shoulder out Shoot me down before I fall to slowly 'Cause what I had with you, damn girl It lit a fire And as I'm stepping over last night's clothing Oh my head, my head, is running wild Well I want you to love me, baby And I want you to rattle my bones And I want you to stay now, baby Well surely you don't sleep alone And I'm waiting For the day when you are not just a stranger I'll be the one to finally deal with your danger I will have you, I will have my salvation When I take you, little mama And rub the chip on your shoulder out And I want you to love me, baby And I want you to rattle my bones And I want you to stay now, baby 'Cause I don't want to sleep alone And I'm waiting For the day when you are not just a stranger I'll be the one to finally deal with your danger I will have you, I will have my salvation When I take you, little mama And rub the chip on your shoulder out
7.
Hit Me Harder You think you're kind of sharp In your four-inch heels You drink like your daddy does Well all of the talk over the cigarettes You said you don't believe in love But I think I kind of like you Might take you home tonight, yeah Maybe even settle down So hit me harder, 'cause it feels good And leave me with a lesson that I'll never learn And if I embraced you, I must confess Your words don't mean a thing when you're in that dress So hit me harder, 'cause it's all I know Just one more forced apology, and I'll go You're the prettiest thing that I would never touch And all of our talk that was Turned into screaming, over bourbon and gin Are the reasons to believe in us But I think that I could take you Maybe even change you And make you settle down So hit me harder, 'cause it feels good And leave me with a lesson that I'll never learn And if I embraced you, I must confess Your words don't mean a thing when you're in that dress So hit me harder, 'cause it's all I know Just one more forced apology, and I'll go And all of the chances that you told me to take With your lips to mine in the club bathrooms And all of the hearts that you love to break Well you'll never change. So hit me harder, 'cause it feels good And leave me with a lesson that I'll never learn And if I embraced you, I must confess Your words don't mean a thing when you're in that dress So hit me harder, 'cause it's all I know Just one more forced apology, and I'll go

Island 04:33
Island Welcome home now, you've hardly changed But it's been so long Since I have seen that look on your face How've you been? Tell me, have you lived? Did you get the things you wanted, And the people you loved? And do you remember what I said When we were young? That when you fall, together we will be On an island, where you learned to see yourself Way above it all Just how I've seen you always Whenever you feel like you're alone And when you fall down And you're the only one around Call my name And I will run to your place And I will say your name aloud And I will sing your songs And I'm not one to promise anything But believe me now That when you fall, together we will be On an island, where you learned to see yourself Way above it all Just how I've seen you always Just how I've seen you there Well I remember when I let you go And how it felt to let you know That I loved you But it's time to grow And when you fall, together we will be On an island, where you learned to see yourself Way above it all Just how I've seen you always Just how I've seen you there And when you fall, together we will be On an island Way above it all, again Just how I left you there
9.
I'll See You 04:17
I'll See You Standing here, hearing my dream is over Well they say we can't change where we're going Tell me that I'm done, and I'll deny you Run at me with your loaded guns And I'll survive you And on the edge, I push away Across the open Running straight ahead And I'm depending on all I've known And all I'm leaving I'll see you in the end Give me strength, when I'm down and I'm tired Give me love, when I'm amidst all the liars I will take just what I need when I'm moving Pick your place 'Cause this town is for losers And on the edge, I push away Across the open Running straight ahead And I'm depending on all I've known And all I'm leaving I'll see you in the end And on the edge, I push away Across the open Running straight ahead And I'm depending on all I've known And all I'm leaving I'll see you in the end
