Rest Stop
Were just 3 miles, from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but Im not
And could you please collect your things
Well I dont wanna be cold
I dont wanna be cruel
But Ive gotta find more than whats happened with you
So if youd open up my door
(chorus)
She said while you were sleepin
I was listenin to the radio and wonderin what you were dreamin when
It came to mind that I didnt care
So I thought hell if its over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listenin? can you hear me?
Have you forgotten?
Just 3 miles from the rest stop
And my mouths too dry to reach it
A light was shining from the radio
And I could barely see her face

Stop
Yes its true that I believe
Im weaker than I used to be
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I forget the rest of me
Yes theres times Ive been afraid
And theres no harm in that I pray
Cuz Im more frightened everyday
Someone will take the hope I have away
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know

Busted
I forgot when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we cant get hurt
Dont try to understand me
Were too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted
I found out one life just aint enough
I need another soul to feed on
Im the flame I cant get burnt
Im wholly understated
I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away
(chorus)
Love dont change, dont come around here
Dont wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Dont strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people weve become, well

Tired
You been talking for an hour
And I swear to God that I cant hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up in the waves of conversation, they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me
Chorus 1:
Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if i
I build a wall around your heart, dare you to come in
I can lie to you, and say I didnt mean it
But hurts a funny thing and
It makes you stronger
Chorus 2:
Where all is nothing in moderation
Its a dirty feeling, it makes you stronger
Well I believe Im just plain tired
Theres a funny way your lip shakes
When I know that youve been lying and it touches me,
Mmmm....said it comforts me, it comforts me
Well I guess I should be satisfied cause you say you love me half the time

You can leave your number at the door

Girl Like That
You think this life would make me bolder
But Im running scared is all
I hang on everything about you
You think Id settle down cuz Im older
But I roll with the change is all
Im same old trailer trash in new shoes
She gets sad when theres nothing going on
She says it makes her feel damn worthless
(chorus 1)
Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
Its better than nothing
I put my hands around your shoulder
Youre saying youre scared is all
I think I know too much about you
You think this life would make me colder
Id give in to the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child
You knew damn well there was nothing going on
Is that what makes you feel damn worthless

Bent
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
And if I need some of your love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around Ill smile again
Shouldnt be soom compilcated
Just hold me and then
Oh, just hold me again
Can, you help me
Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Keep breakinme in
And this is how we live
With you and me........
Bent
If I couldnt sleep

Forever December
Rob thomas, jay stanley, brian yale and john goff
I reach within my isolation, I harbor it, I honor it
You say youd like to see me closer, of course you would, you have no choice
And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me
And I laugh at the people that I cant be all their lives silly pictures
Chorus:
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
Babys getting older, babys getting older
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
The tide is turning, turning us away
You build the wall Ill build the fountain, well wrestle it, well conquer it
I think well live to see the mountain, of course we will we have no choice
And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me
And I laugh at the people that I cant be all their lives silly pictures
Repeat chorus
(one version)
And I can remember forever december
The center of dying, the heart of the pain
The rose in the bottle, the thorns in the bottom
The stars surround me, the cold astounds me

Bed Of Lies
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont think that I can take another empty moment
Dont think that I can fake another hollow smile
Its not enough just to be sorry
Dont think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And theyre only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that weve tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Dont wanna be somewhere where I just dont belong

Black White People
One more day down
Everybody has those days
Where one soft sweet songs
Just enough to clear my head
Fall on real life
Is anybody left there sane?
If we slide on over and accept fate
Then its bound to be a powerful thing
If its just that youre weak
Can we talk about it
Its gettin so damn creepy
Just nursing this ghost of chance
The fiction, the romance
And the technicolor dreams
Of black and white people
One boy head strong
Thinks that living heres just plain
Hes pushed down so hard
You can hear him start to sink
And its one last round of petty conversation
