Swing for the Stars

I get high because I want to win
I‘ll ride the peace train for love
Pain it goes out like a spark like a flame
Dust myself off and get back in the game
Words pour out of my head in the rain
I’m sorry I don’t like to talk that much
I like to sing and swing for the stars
I’ll sing
I put down what I want to say
But only after I’ve tried
Maybe we’ll talk again before long
When you’re feeling alright, I’ll play this song
Something’s not right if something feels wrong
I’m sorry I can’t fix everything
I cannot be that for you
I just don’t know what to do
I like to sing and swing for the stars
I’ll sing
You could smash it to bits but I don’t feel that way
No different than you I just want to play
I’d rather not talk but pressed I will say
I’m sorry I can’t fix everything
I cannot be that for you
I just don’t know what to do
I like to sing and (Swing for the stars)
I’ll sing
I’ll sing (and Swing for the stars)
I’ll sing (Swing for the stars)
I’ll sing
I’ll sing
I’ll sing
I’ll sing

Shook Me

What shouldnta been has come to pass
No one says life will last
Some people just get longer
To ache is understood grievin’s right
Time to live an’ put up a fight
It only makes you stronger
Cold water on my face
Taken from this place
Cold water on my face
Shook Me
Shook Me
Give me the torch I was born to run
Every day’s life in the sun
The pain will make it better
Now’s time to live not time to die
After I run you will see me fly
The rock is now a feather
Cold water on my face
Taken from this place
Cold water on my face
Shook Me
Shook Me
My eyes have been opened
The words have been spoken
My eyes have been opened
My heart has been broken
for me
Do it for me
Cold water on my face
Taken from this place
Cold water on my face
Shook Me, Oh
Cold water on my face
I’m standing here through grace
Cold water on my face
Shook Me
Shook Me
Shook Me
Shook Me

Death's Door
03:34

I was at Death’s Door when I turned back
So tired, worn out, trapped
I was at Death’s Door but I looked back
Wreckless, fragile, cracked
Where are you now
How far away
Where did you go
How could you stay
I was at Death’s Door when I looked back
Speeding, careening off track
Where are you now
How far away
Where did you go
Why did you stay
Many times I hear you
Many times I see you
Many times I’m near you
Many times I’m with you
In the middle of the night an’ it feels so right
In the middle of the night an’ it feels so right
In the middle of the night and I feel alright
In the middle of the night an’ it feels so right
I was at Death’s Door but I turned back
So empty full of lack
I was at Death’s Door but I pulled back
This wrung out strung out hack

Someday
Someday
You were not what I was intending
You were not what I was expecting
A fish out of water
Struggles to breathe
Adrift on an ocean
I can never leave
I can never leave
I can never leave
I can never leave
Someday
Someday
Nothing I thought I’d ever need
You were the chart I failed to read
A search for the surface
Am I going down
A scream under water
Will it make a sound
Do I make a sound
Does it make a sound
Do I make a sound
Does it make a sound
And I’ll meet you there --------with flowers in my hair
And I’ll meet you there’ with flowers in my hair
And I’ll meet you there’ with flowers in my hair
Someday
Someday
Someday there will be a place for us
Someday
Someday there will be a place for us
Someday
Someday

Whatcha wanna do to me
Whatcha wanna say
Whatcha wanna do to me
Whatcha wanna say
Whatcha tryin-a do to me

Bell Tolls

The ball rolls the bell tolls but not for you
You’ve escaped this time what are you gonna to do?
The ground froze the land rose in front of you
‘Cuz it’s not your time, what are you gonna do?
Sit around and watch the paint dry?
That’s not gonna do
Waste your life don’t even try?
Until it tolls for you
This will pass, it goes fast out of view
But ya feel just fine, what are you gonna do?
The earth spins you give in the deepest blue
Where to draw the line, what are you gonna do?
Sit around and watch the paint dry?
That’s not gonna do
Run the clock until goodbye?
Is life just to get through
People die but you’re alive’ you’re alive, you’re alive
People die but you’re alive’, you’re alive you’re alive
The ball rolls the bell tolls but not for you but not for
You…but not for you
Uuuuuuu
Uuuuu but not for
you but not for you but not for you but not for you
but not for you but not for you but not for you you you you
you but not for you but not for you but not for you
but not for you but not for you but not for you you you you
You
