Watch Me Now

Give me a pencil, pad and a guitar
Chances are that I'll go far
You should have believed me
I'll do anything that you can do
Probably better than you do (it)
And you thought I couldn't
Watch Me Now
You show off
I won't continue to speak soft
Now I'm making a spinoff
And I'll see you from the...
Top's down, bottom's up now it's twisted
Couldn't fight but resisted
And I'm better off so...
Watch Me Now

New Year's Eve
03:28
|
|||
|
Fireworks outside, sitting on the basement floor
It's almost 12 o'clock, and the New Year's at the door
Just another day, trying to make it right
But it's all good, because I'm with you here tonight
Another year gone
Another sad song
Another chance to try to want to be
A new me
Wake up, to find another day
Turns out, everything's the same way
I didn't mean to hurt you, I won't do it again
It wasn't my intention, you were my best friend
When will you realize
How quickly time flies?
When will you see?
Oh brother when will you see
The real me?
On New Year's Eve
Another year gone
Another sad song
Another chance to try to want to be...
A new me

You Might Be
04:33

Many have gone
But through all our ups and downs we've carried on
Approaching new ground
Like explorers on a sea of chance unbound
You might be
You might be
You might be
My island in the sea
It's times like these
When you start to see the forest for the trees
Though the leaves will fall
The branches keep the forest standing tall
You might be
You might be
You might be
My island in the sea
The future has demands
So we're gonna keep this tight between our hands
Stay close to me
And hold me as we float upon that sea
You might be
You might be
You might be
My island in the sea

Sarajevo (Ooh La La)
03:15
|
|||
|
Ooh la la
I'm watching you dance
Ooh la la
In those bright yellow pants
Why, oh why
Why are you here?
Why, oh why
It's unclear
But I want to go home
Down the long dusty road
And I gotta run
Because I'm not having fun
I've been out here so long
Nothing's strange anymore
And you gave me this song
But I've heard it before
If I bought you a whiskey
Would you drink it with me?
Can we start with a whiskey?
There's a bar down the street
And I want to go home
Down the long dusty road
And I gotta run
Because I'm not having fun
Ooh la la

Spending the Night Alone
06:06
|

|
Something tells me I should sleep
But my thoughts keep me up
Late at night with TV glaring
I've been in this rut
When I dream, I can almost feel you
Laying next to me
But when I wake, it's a distant memory
And no one's there, but me
So I don't sleep
I'm spending the night alone
It's been days since you have left me
But my pain endures
I've found smiles in empty bottles
None compare to yours
When I dream, I can almost feel you
Laying next to me
But when I wake, it's a distant memory
And no one's there, but me
When I dream, I can almost feel you
Like it used to be
But when I wake, it's a distant memory
And no one's there, but me
So I don't sleep
I'm spending the night alone
No I can't sleep

Mother's Day
03:14

Maybe I got into trouble
Maybe I went my own way
Maybe I was a disappointment
Maybe there's nothing left to say
But you know me
And you showed me
What it means to be a man
And you loved me
And you hugged me
When life didn't go to plan
You know me all too well
You know me better than I know myself
Now I'm out here on my own
But I know that I will always have a home
You know me
And you showed me
What it means to be a man
And you loved me
And you hugged me
When life didn't go to plan
Mom
And you know me
And you showed me
What it means to be a man
And you loved me
And you hugged me
When life didn't go to plan
And I praise you for the days you
Spent your life with me
Gave direction
Introspection
You're the best in me

All I Have
02:47
|

|
They say you don't know what you have until it's gone
But I knew what I had all along
10,000 miles are between us
And all I have is this song
I miss your body laying next to me at night
The cold outside the blanket masked by our delight
The winter's colder when we fight so...
Let's talk it out and make things right
Don't let the sadness mask the good times
We'll have gladness in our lifetime
In my dreams it's bright and clear, oh

Drink Alone
04:58

Pass me a Miller, pass me a Stone
You might have a problem
They said on the phone
But they didn't care to come to my home
So I sat and cried as I drank alone
Pass me the bubbler, pass me the joint
They said to cut back
I didn't see the point
Couldn't they see I needed a friend?
They wouldn't realize until the end
Pass me a codeine, pass me a perc
Just another pill-popping, rich Jersey jerk
Pass me the mirror, pass me the straw
No friends complain now
Don't see them no more
Another long night again lonely ends
But sleeping is easier without any friends
Pass me the needle, pass me the dope
That night I went to bed... I never awoke
