HANGING ON A THREAD I think I can do without I think I can make it on my own, I know I had the time to contemplate I think I can do it all alone, I know That life’s not easy but I can take it Though I’m hanging on a thread I’m just trying to make a name Trying to make some sense out of it all, alone Trying to this or that or whatever comes to mind to make it work, alone Life’s not easy still I can take it Though I’m hanging on a thread Life’s not easy still I can take it No, life’s not easy but I’ll make it No, life’s not easy still I can take it Just get out of my way

Ready Or Not 03:16
READY OR NOT Ready or not, I'm gonna find you I'm not gonna stop, I'm on my way All I want to do is to get a closer view If it's good enough for most, it should be good enough I hope it's not a lot to ask All in time, hey not so fast… Ready or not, I’ve got to find you I’ll give it a shot, hell why not All I want to do is get up close to you If it’s good enough for most, then it’s good enough I hope it’s not a lot to ask All in time, but not so fast… It seems unreal Everybody knows just how you feel It comes and goes Help me understand how to let go All I want to do is to get up close to you If it's good enough for most, than it's good enough I hope it's not a lot to ask I hope it’s not really a lot to ask

THIS MIGHT BE LOVE This might be love This might be love but I’ve lived so long without it Love, this might be love but I’m never sure about it Till much too late I don’t get it It seems simple enough But i always get stuck at the part where you walk out Could this be love Could this be it, don’t know too much about this stuff, a perfect fit But I’m always scared to go for it Till much too late I don’t get it It seems simple enough But i always get stuck at the part where you walk out With so many problems, could we really want them? How could we just fall out? If this could be love, I wanna be more than friends If this could be love, I don’t know how it ends If this could be love, I’m always too many steps behind Your love And as for us, I don’t get it It seems simple enough But i always get stuck at the part where you walk out With so many problems, could we really solve them? How could we just fall out? Could this be love? I hope I can with you Maybe its not but maybe its true Our love…

ON THE COUNT OF THREE They met on the playground everyday there after school Where he asked her if she liked him just as much one afternoon He waited for an answer then she punched him in the nose They were eight and now they're 23, who knew they'd fall in love He don't mind if she first goes cuz he'd follow right behind She don't mind if he first goes cuz it wouldn't change her mind They take each other's hands to find it's hard to step over the line So for the sake of going together they both go on the count of three Brennan he loves Krista and you know she does the same What they don't know how to say in words, they say it in another way They both want to take the next step, so why not make the most Of what they got and what is gonna be, well nobody really knows He don't mind if she first goes cuz he'd follow right behind She don't mind if he first goes cuz it wouldn't change her mind She fell in love, he understands that she don't want no other man... So for the sake of going together they both go on the the count of three I wish i could love somebody to share my every moment Singing just the same and wishing that day would come soon But till that day I'm gonna dream of how it just might be When I bump into you on that sunny day, and greet you with a smile He won't mind if she first goes cuz I'd follow right behind She won't won't mind if he first goes cuz it would change your mind We'll take each other's hands to find it's hard to step over the lines So for the sake of going together we'll both go on the count of three

I NEED TO BE ALONE Some people say the lamest possible things It’s a common mistake that we all make, and all out of turn So I don’t mind it sometimes But I need to be alone I need to be alone sometimes I need to be alone, like tonight See you on the other side You were on fire, fed up and sick of the world I fanned the flame when I told you what you already heard So I don’t mind it sometimes No I don't mind it sometimes But sometimes.. I need to be alone I need to be alone sometimes I need to be alone, like tonight See you on the other side Don’t forget to read your bibles No regrets when all is said and done Take your time, take your time I need to be alone I need to be alone sometimes I need to be alone, like tonight See you on the other side

PULLOUT COUCH It's good to hear your voice over the phone You coming into town you say? When and how long? I still remember the day you took off and when you boarded the plane You asked me if I thought you were crazy Well, you're welcome to stay at the house you know You take the bed I insist, I'll be fine with the pull out couch I prefer it anyway I won't let anyone know How you lost the part on that TV show We all know you wanted to go, straight to top We'll take you on back to the autumn day parades Remember those days and the shit we used to say When you were you If nothing you know you can count on - be unafraid You know you can always fall back on - if you ever lost your way And now as long as you know, why don't you hurry home? I won't let anyone know How you lost the part on that TV show We all know you wanted to go, straight to top What won't last for long - I'm just so glad that you're home I'm just so glad that you're home for now

SHOOT THE SHIT Make no mistake, I'm not leaving here without you Pull back the shades and get your ass up And the key oh in the mighty sun it brings life to the bones You better leave your dusty darkness you call a home You can find me in the light, my dear friend I will help you win the fight against your sins And I want to know when your life will start again and I want to go grab a whiskey and shoot the shit When the tables turn, Goddamn your persistence For what it's worth, thanks in advance You always knew what to say I hope I do the same for you in times like these So I'm calling you out like you've always done for me You can find me in the light, my dear friend I will help you win the fight against your sins And I want to know when your life will start again and I want to know when you'll find yourself in line You were always such an ass around the people you most loved And fast, the time it took for all of us to know we had enough But now you're gone Now you're gone And I want to know When your life will start again And I want to know when you're fine And I want to go grab a whiskey and shoot the shit With friends like yourself and the rest of them

BE MINE, BABY There's something in the way she hesitates Sing it like a lover’s serenade I never been a fan of love songs but sometimes you gotta write one Be mine, baby Suddenly I feel I’ll be okay One less thing to worry about now It’s feeling like the sun is coming out when she is around Be my baby, be mine forever and be mine for good Lovely lady be mine for life, well alright alright Be my baby, be mine for life She got me on the ropes most of the time I think I kinda like it, big surprise I told you I was bored from all the talk You said to take a walk Be my baby, be mine forever and be mine for good Lovely lady be mine for life, well alright alright Be my baby, be mine for life And when she walks It looks like she’s dancing I look in her eyes I make out the answers to life I think we’ll make it out alive Be mine, baby
