4.
I woke up today and had enough so I grabbed my bag and packed my stuff i opened the door and looked around my feet fell fast on solid ground I'd take it all and leave behind those memories that haunt my mind I've walked enough of my broken road so see how far that it would go hey mama gonna make you proud so dry your eyes and don't look down hey mama gonna make you proud your son is gonna run this town do you remember all those times you used to say you read my mind well now i'm off and on my own so say a prayer for my unknown hey mama gonna make you proud so dry your eyes and don't look down hey mama gonna make you proud your son is gonna run this town days will come and days will go all we know is this life you gotta make it right i gotta make you proud hey mama gonna make you proud so dry your eyes and don't look down hey mama gonna make you proud your son is gonna run this town
5.
Gone 03:23
I've got blinders on both my eyes when you're around when you're around everything seems to stop and start when you're around when you're around and so i see you standing oh so close to me you slip away just like you're in one of my dreams now you're out of sight but you're all that i can see yeah you're gone yeah you're gone everything is in it's own place but i am here yeah i am here and when i'm lost i tend to stare at my own feet but that's alright is that alright? and so i see you standing oh so close to me you slip away just like you're in one of my dreams now you're out of sight but you're all that i can see yeah you're gone yeah you're gone
6.
we took a ride on the boulevard full of fast times yeah cruising cars we were having fun are you having fun lets go summer drinks in the winter time full of enzyme yeah sweet sublime we were doing fine yeah we're doing fine are you? well i'm holding on the farther we go the higher we climb i hope you always know that you're a sweet friend of mine we're in a house but it's falling apart but we're doing fine cuz we got our hearts you can count on me if you need a ride can you now? time flies when you're having fun how those years have come and gone yeah we're holding on yeah we're holding on are you? well i'm holding on the farther we go the higher we climb i hope you always know that you're a sweet friend of mine
7.
it started with a bang it ended in our shame so who's the one to blame? and what are we going to do we're broken and so confused you know i'd bleed my heart you know i'd bleed my heart and i know it's not that I can break your fall so take your time yeah it's fine it's not that I need peace of mind you try and try and when it all falls apart you're not better on your own no, no so let's sew together parts of softly broken hearts it's all that i can say you're thoughts they won't repay and what are we gonna do? we're broken and so confused you know i'd bleed my heart you know i'd bleed my heart and i know it's not that I can break your fall so take your time yeah it's fine it's not that I need peace of mind you try and try and when it all falls apart you're not better on your own no, no we'll try again oh no
8.
I walk a tight line that's for sure it's strange i'm drawn to your allure cold nights are warmer than your heart you laugh but i still fall apart no no no there's no hiding from you I cannot have you but i'm burning for you I cannot have you but i'm burning for you I'm burning for you I'm burning for you it's funny how you change your mind a sudden shift from time to time no no no there's no hiding from you I cannot have you but i'm burning for you I cannot have you but i'm burning for you I'm burning for you I'm burning for you
9.
I saw you just the other day and i was overwhelmed in every way hey hey if fate could play the circumstance then i know you would surely slip away no I won't let you go never never no no I won't let you go you are the prettiest thing that I have ever seen the prettiest thing that I have ever seen
10.
Wait 04:37
silently so silently we fall apart clutching backwards in the dark i somehow caught your heart patiently yes patiently we wait for you won't you give me something more that I can hold onto cuz I can't take much more no I will wait for you honestly yes honestly i've lost my way and i keep watching my mistakes please tell me when will it end and finally yes finally i feel so free cuz i am holding onto you keep holding onto me cuz I can't take much more no I will wait for you so how long how long how long will we wait for you cuz I can't take much more know I will wait for you
11.
I know that it's not how you thought it would be as you work this job in the city beneath a late night halogen light you find a backstreet fistfight and you could run if you wanted to run but try your shoes against a silver soaked gun they take your watch, take your wallet and leave you clench your fist take a breath and breathe you've probably seen her as she sips on her wine she always leaves you with a star struck shimmery shine the tune is playing as it flows through her hair she breathes the melody and winks you a dare her feet are moving but yours stick to the floor a bank of beauty and you've broken the door so bye bye American Dream I'm finding out that i need something more than bye bye American Dream I'm finding out that I need something more than you
