I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door Who could ever ask for more There's not so much we can do until the night falls Can't you hear me call I'll bring you fun in the sun if you'd like we can even ride a bike But before we go out, we'll stay in Let the adventure begin We've got our whole lives set ahead That's something we cannot forget I'll turn off the TV and pull the shades Don't you know we've got it made Got it made, day to day Hear me when I say We've got our whole lives set ahead That's something we cannot forget We've got our whole lives set ahead 'Cause baby, you with me, that's the best You'll bring me cups & cakes, birds & bees You've got everything I need I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door Who could ever ask for more

Something like a mixtape, something like a rescue Nothing like an open field, it always gets the best of you Part-time spy, full-time prophet Wide-eyed grin, you were off like a rocket Another river, another song Not to many chords to get us on The road ahead, the road ahead You should that you're the best Don't you know you left at the wrong time Come as a king, went off like a landmine A room at the top, not always the best view Sometimes a split single, but always a rescue Another river, another song Not to many chords to get us on The road ahead, the road ahead You should that you're the best There I was, paralyzed at the bridge And I have to wonder, did he really know what he did Something like a mixtape, something like a rescue Another river, another song Not to many chords to get us on The road ahead, the road ahead You should that you're the best Another river, another song Not to many chords to get us on The road ahead, the road ahead You should that you're the best

Take a knee for Rita Take some honey if you want something sweeter To get you through the day you might have had Take a knee for peace Take a pill if you need release From the story that you might have thought you'd planned Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other Time or place for you to make a stand And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under Open up and question why you ran Take a knee for Rita Take a look inside if you stop believin' In the things that used to bring you joy Take a knee in protest Take a look, decide if we're the best That we can be and, if not, make some noise Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other Time or place for you to make a stand And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under Open up and question why you ran

Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world & the seven seas We're all looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world & the seven seas We're all looking for something Some want to use you Some want to get used by you Some want to abuse you Some want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world & the seven seas We're all looking for something Hold your head up, hold your head up Hold your head up, hold your head up Hold your head up, hold your head up Hold your head up, keep movin' on Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree?

I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm They say it's like coming clean Say it's like being born again When the judgement comes I hope you'll look lightly on me When the stars fall The stars fall into the sea I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm They say it's like coming clean Say it's like being born again --- I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm They say it's like running free Like breaking from the norm Breaking from the norm After all is said & done We get what we deserve Say what you gotta say They won't hear a single word I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm They say it's like coming clean Like being born again --- I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm They say it's like running free Like breaking from the norm Breaking from the norm I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm

Get up off your heels I think you know the deal You'd better learn to love instead of fighting with fear I know I could be wrong But I will sing this song And I will say the things you don't want to hear You don't speak for me And you don't speak for Jesus And I don't think you see them The way I think He sees us But if you come around, we won't keep you down We will welcome you back home This is your last gasp Do I have to ask Do you believe that things were better in the past And I may not understand The life that God has planned But everyone deserves a love that has a chance to last You don't speak for me And you don't speak for Jesus And I don't think you see them The way I think He sees us But if you come around, we won't keep you down We will welcome you back home You don't make the rules But you act like like cowards I want to see your history I want to see your browsers You don't speak for me And you don't speak for Jesus And I don't think you see them The way I think He sees us You don't speak for me And you don't speak for Jesus And I don't think you see them The way I think He sees us But if you come around, we won't keep you down We will welcome you back home

So, it looks like we're learning as we go We're going to war with what we used to know Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me You are going to have to leave your friends You know you might have to face the end Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me It's never easy to change It's not in our hearts to try to settle down We put our hope in other plans We keep our faith despite the runaround Some say a pilgrim on a journey Hard to believe that you are for me Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me We do our best, but we expect the worst We pass the test, we live beyond the curse Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me It's never easy to change It's not in our hearts to try to settle down We put our hope in other plans We keep our faith despite the runaround

Woke up this morning A new day dawning Adventure waits for me at every turn I'm bouncing off the ceiling I can't shake this feeling Trouble waits, but I won't ever learn Well, I've seen a lot of people And I've sailed a lot of worlds Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved I've had so many good times And I've known my share of girls But your love is like the crashing of the waves Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves Time for the sunrise Shine like your big brown eyes Look at me and tell me I'm the one Won't you take my hand See some colors we could not have planned From the ocean blue to the setting of the sun Well, I've seen a lot of people And I've sailed a lot of worlds Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved I've had so many good times And I've known my share of girls But your love is like the crashing of the waves Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves And just like Thunder Island, the rain will start to fall But we won't care, we won't care at all -- take it, Lee Ritenour -- Well, I've seen a lot of people And I've sailed a lot of worlds Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved I've had so many good times And I've known my share of girls But your love is like the crashing of the waves Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves I said, your love is like the crashing of the waves Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves

Linda lost her balance again She had a hard time finding a friend Linda lost her balance again And when she looked up, she'd come to the end Of the rope that hung from the rafters upstairs And she hoped for something, but nobody cared And she choked on the words she thought she could share She thought that she could share Linda lost her balance again Linda lost her mind for a spell She had a hard time, but no one could tell Linda lost her mind for a spell And when she looks down, into the well Of her dreams, she saw that they were still there And it seems she might finally get her fair share And she screams, but it ends up she's going nowhere She's going nowhere Linda lost her mind for a spell Linda leaves the ones that she loves When she wakes up, she wonders why she still runs Linda leaves the ones that she loves She has a hard time keeping her head above All the waves that come crashing down on her head And she saves all the best jokes for when you have left And when she plays out her story, you might have time to guess You might have time to guess Linda leaves the ones that she loves

Nothin' but kangaroos as far as the eye can see Hey, where's Jason? He was standing right beside me Come down from a long flight at the bar in our hotel Then we've got a story to sell Rachel's mom called to say she didn't get in She's with the band now, but you know she's just a friend You Am I plays at the corner record shop I hope this never stops One mile either way from our home to the venue Not a single sunless day and Cooper's on the menu Only 10 feet from the bar to the bed The Crown & Sceptre is where we'll lay our heads We're playing football, but it's Australian rules Had brunch with the players, a pitcher of Moscow Mules Took a car for a test-drive on the wrong side of the street Don't know where this will lead One mile either way from our home to the venue Not a single sunless day and Cooper's on the menu Only 10 feet from the bar to the bed The Crown & Sceptre is where we'll lay our heads Tried to rock the Casino, they said we were the best Had to duck out early to hang with INXS We said our goodbyes, "We'll be back in a year" And then we disappeared

We all need a little sunshine Just like I need for you to be mine Open the door and we will find We're all ready for the springtime We all need a little daylight To prove that everything is alright Even though the sun is trying to hide We just can't keep it all inside What do you do when the lights go out Are you dreaming about when the flowers sprout? You find there's nothing you can do To hurry up and make that dream come true Then you open your eyes, you realize That it's here, it's finally here You fall to your knees And pray for the sun to appear We all need a little sunshine Just like I need for you to be. mine Open the door and we will find We're all ready for the springtime We all need a little daylight To prove that everything is alright Even though the sun is trying to hide We just can't keep it all inside Remember the time when the clouds hung around And thunder made that awful sound The rain comes down, but you pick your battles And you're not even living in Seattle Then you open your eyes, you realize That it's here, it's finally here You fall to your knees And pray for the sun to appear Get outside, prepare to collide With the sunshine in every way Don't try to erase that smile on your face You know it's gonna be a new day We all need a little sunshine Just like I need for you to be. mine Open the door and we will find We're all ready for the springtime We all need a little daylight To prove that everything is alright Even though the sun is trying to hide We just can't keep it all inside

Have you been muddied by the water? Have you been trying to gain your sight? Have you been wondering what comes after? Are you ready to take flight? Yeah, we all want to be healed We all want to feel, something that's good Yeah, we all need to get close We all ned to shake loose, you know that we should Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control Underneath it all we want to play the part Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart We're all cowards in our own tombs Frightened of the light of day We like to see ourselves in ruins But there must be a better way Yeah, we all want to be loved But is that enough to carry us through Just when we think we can be real It ain't no big deal, you know that's the truth Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control Underneath it all we want to play the part Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart gtr solo Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control Underneath it all we want to play the part Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart

We all remember the dreams that slipped between the cracks We might lament the friends that won't be coming back But we can change the scene, yeah, we can make it true What if you believed and I believed in you You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor And we can shine a little love We will lend a little light As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight One time I thought I saw, I saw a miracle It was not flesh & blood, it was not Biblical I reached beyond my view, beyond what I could see What if I believed and you believed in me You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor And we can shine a little love We will lend a little light As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight And we'll sway to the music that is circling our souls And we'll give up any notion that we were ever in control And with a little luck & love we will be made whole You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor And we will shine a little love We will lend a little light You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor And we will shine a little love We will lend a little light As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight

Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new again I don't how I go this way I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it We wake up to a new day We try to find a new way just to make it through Figure out what we're missing And do our best to listen, we want to know the truth Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new again I don't how I go this way I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it Before the clouds, they roll away Until the crowds begin to fade, we'll always rise above The days will slowly start to burn Will we ever start to learn to offer up a touch Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new Hey, look at you All bright & bright & shiny & new again I don't how I go this way I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it We wake up to a new day We try to find a new way just to make it through

Red & Butter don't know each other But they travel the world in separate vans With their separate humans --- Red & Butter go undercover They don't put words on a page But they hold it down on the stage They say that road dogs got it hard When they're traveling so far Traveling so far They say that road dogs got it bad But these dogs don't get mad They're the best we've ever had Red & Butter, one is fluffier But it does not make a difference They've got plenty of sense --- Red & Butter, they're just like brothers It's hard to tell which is which Road life can be a bitch They say that road dogs got it hard When they're traveling so far Traveling so far They say that road dogs got it bad But these dogs don't get mad They're the best we've ever had Red & Butter, I don't mean to smother Each of you with too many compliments Talk about canine competence They say that road dogs got it hard When they're traveling so far Traveling so far

Step up, step out Loud and clear throughout the town Wake up and fight for what you feel Bad luck, no doubt What's lost, it can be found And don't pretend it's no big deal Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive You'll have to make mistakes If you want to feel so alive Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive C'mon and join the club Spend your time on things you love It's OK to let yourself be afraid What is, what was Don't beat yourself up for the things you've done Get up and live another day Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive You'll have to make mistakes If you want to feel so alive Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive Dive to the ocean floor and back again Fly 'til you can move no more against the wind Cry until you finally begin to... Step up, step out Loud and clear throughout the town Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive You'll have to make mistakes If you want to feel so alive Prepare to fall down Get ready to take a dive Get ready to take a dive
