01.Bleed American (3:02) I’m not alone ‘cause the TV’s on yeah I’m not crazy ‘cause I take the right pills every day And rest Clean your conscious Clear your thoughts with speyside With your grain Clean your conscious Clear your thoughts with speyside Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Tune in and we can get the last call Our lives Our coal Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Sign up It's the picket line or the parade Our lives (I bled the) Greed from my arm Won’t they give it a rest now? Give it a rest now Now Now Now…

02.Praise Chorus (4:04) Are you gonna live your life wondering Standing in the back Looking around? Are you gonna waste your time thinking How you’ve grown up Or how you missed out? Things are never gonna be the way you want Where's it gonna get you acting serious? Things are never gonna be quite what you want Even at 25 You gotta start sometime I’m on my feet I’m on the floor I’m good to go Now all I need is just to hear a song I know I wanna always feel like part of this was mine I wanna fall in love tonight Are you gonna live your life Standing in the back Looking around? Are you gonna waste your time? Gotta make a move or you'll miss out Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about Stick around Nostalgia won't let you down Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself? Crimson and clover Over and over Our house in the middle of the street Why did we ever meet? Started my rock 'n’ roll fantasy Don’t let's start Why did we ever part? Kick start my rock 'n rolling heart I’m on my feet I’m on the floor I’m good to go So come on Davey Sing me something that I know I wanna always feel like part of this was mine I wanna fall in love tonight [Here tonight] I wanna always feel like part of this was mine I wanna fall in love tonight

03.The Middle (2:49) Hey Don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out Or looked down on Just try your best Try everything you can And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away It just takes some time Little girl you're in the middle of the ride Everything Everything will be just fine Everything Everything will be alright Hey, you know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own So don't buy in Live right now Yeah just be yourself It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else Hey Don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out Or looked down on Just do your best Do everything you can And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say

04.Your House (4:50) When you're on I swear you're on You rip my heart right out You rip my heart right out I think the whole room can hear me clear my throat You rip my heart right out You rip my heart right out If you still care at all Don't go Tell me now If you love me at all Don't call Then out of nowhere Put me right back there Rip my heart out You rip my heart right out And we know what happens when we get to your house Rip my heart out You'll rip my heart right out If you still care at all Don't go Tell me now If you love me at all Please don't tell me now If you still care at all Don't go Tell me now If you love me at all Don't call I throw away everything I've written you Oh anything just keep my mind off of it Thinking how I had you once No I can't forget that Sometimes I wish I could lose you again You're winning me over with everything you say You rip my heart right out You rip my heart right out When I let you closer I only want you closer You rip my heart right out You rip my heart right out If you still care at all Don't go Tell me now If you love me at all Please don't tell me now. Yeah if you still care at all Don't go Tell me now If you love me at all Don't call If you love me at all…

05.Sweetness (3:39) Are you listening? Sing it back String from your tether unwinds Up and outward to bind I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me Are you listening? Sing it back Tell me what do I need when words lose their meaning? I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me Stumble till you crawl Sinking into sweet uncertainty [Are you listening?] If you're listening Are you listening? Sing it back I'm still running away I won't play your hide and seek game I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me What a dizzy dance This sweetness will not be concerned with me No the sweetness will not be concerned with me

06.Hear You Me (4:39) There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go I never said thank you for that I thought I might get one more chance What would you think of me now? So lucky? So strong? So proud? I never said thank you for that Now I'll never have a chance May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads the sleepless go May angels lead you in So what would you think of me now? So lucky? So strong? So proud? I never said thank you for that Now I'll never have a chance And if you were with me tonight I'd sing to you just one more time A song for a heart so big God couldn't let it live May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads the sleepless go May angels lead you in May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads the sleepless go May angels lead you in May angels lead you in

07.If You Don't, Don't (4:35) What’s wrong baby Don’t they treat you like they should? Did you take ’em for it? For every penny that you could? We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend Don’t you know I’m thinking? [Know I’m thinking] Driving 405 past midnight You know I miss you. [Don’t you know that I miss you?] Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night I would write to you from museum mile A toast to you: Your whisper Your smile Up the stairs at the Weatherford A ghost each place I hide If you don’t Don't know Why’d you say so? Would you mean this please if it happens? If you don’t know Why would you say so? Won’t you get your story straight? If you don’t know honey why'd you just say so? ‘Cause I need this now more than I ever did If you don’t well honey then you don’t I left you waiting [I know I left you waiting] At the least could we be friends? Should have never started [Never started] Ain’t that the way it always ends? On my life I'll try today There’s so much I've felt I should say but Even if your heart would listen I doubt I could explain So here we are now A sip of wine A sip of water Someday maybe Maybe someday we’ll be smarter And I’m sorry that I’m such a mess I drank all my money could get And I took everything you let me have And then I never loved you back If you don’t Don't know Why’d you say so? Would you mean this please if it happens? If you don’t know Why would you say so? Won’t you get your story straight? If you don’t know honey why'd you just say so? ‘Cause I need this now Yeah need this Need this If you don’t well honey then you don’t If you don’t then honey well you don’t

08.Get It Faster (4:26) I don't care what you do I'm getting out No nothing ever shames me Don't wanna thing from you I'm going out I don't care if you're angry I'm getting out No nothing ever shames me. I'm going out I don't care if you're angry I should've thought things through I'm holding out but not getting an answer I wanna do right by you I'm finding out Cheating gets it faster I'm holding out Not getting an answer I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster I'm holding out but not getting an answer I'm finding out Cheating gets it faster

09.Cautioners The time I would spend with pictures I would not send I watched you go from left to right I followed you all night across my blinds You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me You'll take your steps away with hesitance Take your steps away from me I'm making my peace Making it with distance Maybe that's a big mistake You know I'm thinking of you I miss you You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me You'll take your steps away with hesitance You'll take your steps away from me You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me Take your steps away with hesitance Take your steps away from me

10.Authority Song (3:41) It’s how the hustle goes See what the jukebox knows Put my last quarter on I play ‘Authority Song’ Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore I got no secret purpose I don’t seem obvious do I? I don’t seem obvious do I? The DJ never has it, J.A.M.C Automatic If those were Roy's headphones You bet he'd play ‘What Goes On’ Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore I got no secret purpose I don’t seem obvious do I? I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I? Oh Well I'm here That means something doesn't it? Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit? Oh you don’t notice ‘Cause the music’s too loud It’s how the hustle goes See what the jukebox knows [Do I?] Put my last quarter on I play ‘Authority Song’ [Do I?] Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore Say anything you want already I’m not scared anymore Honesty or mystery? Want something else? Just tell me I’m not scared anymore I got no secret purpose I don’t seem obvious do I? I don’t seem obvious do I?

11.My Sundown (3:12) I see it around me I see it in everything I could be so much more than this I said my goodbye's This is my sundown I'm gonna be so much more than this With one hand high You'll show them your progress You'll take your time but no one cares No one cares I need you to show me the way from crazy I wanna be so much more than this With one hand high You'll show them your progress You'll take your time but no one cares With one hand high You'll show them your progress You'll take your time but no one cares No one cares No one cares…

12.Splash, Turn, Twist (3:46) With a turn and a twist she gets her wish Just a smile makes her who she wants It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits It turns into an inspiration So much for see you around So much for seeing at all Don't leave me in the trivia With a splash and a twist we'll both get pissed And leave after we hear our songs It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits She'll just remember she felt something With a turn and a twist she gets her wish You give it a name and that's how it stays With a turn and a twist she gets her wish Over the threshold Over and out Don’t leave me in the trivia…
