You shouldn't have told me the grass isn't greener
Imagine what could be and you're stuck in between
The east and the west end, the lies and the passion
This is only what you want it to be
Exactly what you want it to be
Exactly what you wanted
A sense of adventure with the scent of a lion
You wrote down in scripture that I'm just out of reach
The east and the west coast, the things that you love most
Well this is only what you want it to be
Exactly what you want it to be
Exactly what you wanted
East meets West coast,
The things, the things you love the most

Who I Am
03:39
|

|
On the boarder line
you're always in the moonlight
I wait for her, I wait for her
Here's my quarter-line,
My heart's as yours as mine
I wait for her, I wait for her
I care a lot for who I am, who I've known and where I've been
You're a waste of time
I heard it through the grapevine
I stand alone, I stand alone
When you draw the line
Oh Lord I feel this love of mine
Has gone too far, has gone too far

Man In The Mirror
04:17
|
|||
|
She says you can't be nothing till your heart stops beating in me
But the man in the mirror doesn't give compliments for free
A long time ago, I had all these thoughts of gold
Until the robbers and the thieves took everything from me
But a penny on the ground so the memory couldn't leave
So the memory couldn't leave
Oh she told me "We're the lucky ones; put away that silver gun for sleep"
But the man in the mirror doesn't give compliments for free

A world with less freedom
Be the man but one day we'll bring the man down (that's the message)
Be the man but one day we'll bring the man down

Fool's Gold
04:30
|
|||
|
From rags to riches do you look at the past?
Cause some things were never meant to last
A hope that someone could see some good in me
Cause I've got some ghosts that just won't let go of me
But it's the fool's gold that shines so bright
With nothing worth taking he's leaving her behind
The only decision he regrets in his life
Oh Always coming up fool's gold and the diamonds never show
God damn you know he puts in his time
But he never knows what his time will buy
and if there's nothing worth living for
do we look the other way?
cause on the other side of nothing
there's fool's gold and pain

You're Right
04:17
|

|
It's the changing of the guard
and after one night of being myself
I finally getcha, getcha, now to getcha getcha off of my back
After all this time we should have figured out faster
that I could getcha, getcha now to getcha getcha off of my back
All these nights we've been waiting for
For all these years we've been waiting
There's something here like a metaphor
But it's just not escaping
So we're gonna burn it down
Yeah we're gonna burn it down
We're gonna burn it down cause it's just not escaping
You're right
Oh there's nothing in it for me
You're right
Oh there's nothing in it for me
And you noticed
And you know this better than I know myself
Always in all ways and I know now not to question these things
After all this time we should have figured out faster
that I could getcha, getcha now to getcha getcha off of my back
Always in all ways...
Looking back on all this now
You never listened (you never listened)
You could never change my mind
But God damn I know you're right

A Crow's Nest Drive
05:04
|
|||
|
Sitting in the passenger's seat
The driver doesn't speak
We drive, drive, drive, we drive
The lights are burying me
We can hardly see
We drive, drive, drive, we drive
And I wonder... Have you seen these wonders?
Six string sings so nice
Whiskey drowns the time
We drive, drive, drive, we drive
Chasing suns so bright
Leads me to my wine
we drive, drive, drive, we drive
Montreal to Calgary
Hit the Crow's Nest for some sleep
We drive, drive, drive, we drive

Raise Yourself Higher
03:02
|
|||
|
Yeah I know what it is and I can go without, without
You were there and I was strong
You never said I made you proud, you turned me down
So I turned away, you called out my name
But I couldn't take another second of this heartbreak
Yeah I know what it is and I can do without, without
Another year I'd do without
Another year to raise yourself higher
