Back On You

|
Can't imagine what it's like inside your head
With all that you've been through, why couldn't it be me instead?
Wanna hold you tight, but don't wanna bend your wings
While you live on a high wire - life can bring most anything
Most anything
Your courage and your spirit never cease to amaze
You wake up to a challenge that you rise to every day
If there's anything in this whole wide world that I can do
It's gonna be shining the light in your eyes
Back on you
Back on you
Others may give up but you stand strong
Maybe you get weary sometimes just holding on
Just holding On
All these years I've watched you become a shining star
It's my turn to reflect the light you gave me
Back to where you are
Back to where you are
I'm holding up this mirror and hoping that you'll see
Reflections of the courage and the love you've given
If there's anything in this whole wide world that I can do
It's gonna be shining the light in your eyes
Back on you
Back on you

Blow Out That Flame
05:07

|
It's barely just a flicker You're the one who fans the flame
The ash is cold and he's long gone
Been months since he left
No emails and yet
You told me you don't want him coming home
I don't understand why you wanna be
the keeper of the pain
As your best friend
I'll say it again - Blow out that Flame
I watch you second guess as you romanticize the past
He's gone and you said you were fine with that
Why's it so hard to move on
He let you close the door, he's gone
Quit acting like you want him coming back
I don't understand why you wanna be
the keeper of the pain
As your best friend
I'll say it again - Blow out that Flame
Why you keep flirting with that flicker
Is there something you're afraid to see
Is there a hole you're trying to keep from getting bigger
'Cause if you can't fill it
Neither can he

Took my love I took it down
Climbed a mountain and turned around
And I saw my reflection on a snow covered hill
Til the landslide brought me down
Oh mirror on the wall what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well I've been afraid of changing
'cause I built my life around you
Time makes you bolder even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
The landslide will bring you down

One by One
06:03

It's all about connection
I see you and you see me
Starving for affection
We really need each other
Forgetting to remember
It's a social disease
In this together
Separate us and we suffer
The hundredth monkey was just some flunkie
before you said you cared
Your two coins, the tipping point
You changed everything just by being there
It's alchemy plus chemistry
You saved the world when you smiled at me
You can wake a nation that's gone numb
ONE BY ONE
It's all about perception
What you believe is what you see
The world is your reflection
Is it the best it can be
Everybody's different, but every heart is the same
Wanting forgiveness
Wanting to be Whole again
If you've been listening but keep insisting
Who you are is not enough
Take one step, one day, give somebody one hope
and watch it lift them up
You're the flame, a heart on fire
Don't you see you inspire
Every living thing under the sun
ONE BY ONE

I Didn't Cry
05:14
|

|
Been 9 years and a day since you passed
Should be thinking of you, you're my dad
When I'm angry I don't hurt so much
I've used it as armor, I've leaned on that crutch
Well I guess I was blaming you dad
For being the father that I never had
Looking around, I'm starting to see
All the years I gave up on me
I woke up
I didn't cry for you
Had my coffee
Didn't cry for you
Brushed my teeth, drove my car
Past the hurt in my heart
I didn't cry
No, I didn't cry
For you
Your face seems to fade in and out
On the walls of a faraway house
You could say, in a way,
I've left you behind
But healing is something
that takes its own time
Well I guess I was blaming you dad
For being the father that I never had
Looking around, I'm starting to see
All the years I gave up on me
I woke up
I didn't cry for you
Had my coffee
Didn't cry for you
Brushed my teeth, drove my car
Past the hurt in my heart
I didn't cry
No, I didn't cry
For you
I've been missing you
Who it was, who I thought you should be
Well, don't you know
Who I've been missing
Was Me
I woke up
I didn't cry for you
Had my coffee
Didn't cry for you
Brushed my teeth, drove my car
Past this ache in my heart
I didn't cry
No, I didn't cry
For you

Free Falling
05:44

She's a good girl
love's her mama
Love's Jesus
And America too
She's a good girl
Crazy 'bout Elvis
Love's horses
And her boyfriend too
It's a long day
living in Reseda
There's a freeway running through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy, for breaking her heart
And I'm free
Free falling
Yes I'm free
Free falling
I wanna fly down
over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall
right into nothing
I wanna leave this world for a while
And I'm free
Free falling
Yes I'm free
Free falling
All the vampires
Walking through the valley
heading west down Ventura Blvd
All the bad boys hiding in the alleys
All the good girls home with broken hearts
And I'm free
Free falling
Oh I'm free
Free falling

Offerings

The pressure is on I've got to
Give you a song you want to
Sing it along with me
You're not the ones feeling queasy
You think that this is so easy
I get to follow my dreams
What if it's too revealing
What if it has no meaning
What if I've nothing to say
Well I can invent excuses
It's only me who loses
Such a high price to pay
When I look deep inside I see
Heaven has sent these jewels to me
They are my offerings
To you
Doo doo doo.....
My Daddy said to me just last night
Nothin's ever gonna be just right
don't let it stand in your way
What if I just plow through this
Gave up the perfectionist
Let my spirit out to play
Can I be bold and take a chance
Give up the long list of 'I Can'ts'
And give in to the muse
Too much rumination
I need a little celebration
To help me lighten up these blues
When I look deep inside I see
Heaven has sent these jewels to me
They are my offerings
Once I was lost but now I'm found
Standing on this sacred ground
these are my offerings
To you

All Along the Watchtower
05:12
|

|
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the Joker to the thief
Too much confusion
Can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Think that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
This is not our fate
So let us not talk soflty now
The hour is getting late
All along the Watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
and the wind began to Howl
All along the Watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too

Carry Me Home

What if I told you just how I'm feeling
What if I asked you not to leave me now
What if trusted you with all my dark corners
Trägst du mich
Ganz nach hause
Trägst du mich
Den ganzen weg Heim
What if I reached for you and you were there
What if I asked you to stand by me now
What if together we came through the sorrow
Trägst du mich
Ganz nach hause
Trägst du mich
Den ganzen weg Heim
And if it seems like you just can't understand it
I will take your hand and hold you close to me
And if it feels like the pain is never gonna leave
I'll follow where you lead 'til I give you what you need
I'm gonna tell you just how I'm feeling
I'm gonna ask you - please don't leave me now
I'm gonna trust you with all my dark corners
Trägst du mich
Ganz nach hause
Trägst du mich
Den ganzen weg Heim
I'm asking you
Will you carry me
All the way home
Will you carry me
All the way
home
