LAUREL TREE

I’m a warrior, I fight

I fight for what I want

You’re a goddess, your beauty

your beauty is a taunt

when all I need is you

so you’ll just be my laurel tree

I’m begging you darling, say

say you want me now

why do you keep running

it’s bound to be I know, somehow

just tell me what I need to do

so I can be with you

oh I want you, but it can’t be

I promise you I’ll always be around

your leaves are never gonna hit the ground

oh I want you but it can’t be

so you’ll just be my laurel tree

DRIVE

well it’s another morning and the sun’s shining in my face

I’m gonna make a change to the same old boring day

I got a feeling inside and I’m starting to believe

that this feeling inside is telling me to leave

gonna drive away, gonna leave it all for another time and

drive away, if you ask me now, I’ll tell you that I’m

gone, I’m gone, I’m gone,

if you ask me now, I’ll tell you that I’m

well it don’t matter if I miss work

it’s just work anyway

and I kinda got a notion, that’s it’s gonna go my way

I got a feeling inside and I’m starting to believe

that this feeling inside is telling me to leave

gonna drive away, gonna leave it all for another time and

drive away, if you ask me now, I’ll tell you that I’m

gone, I’m gone, I’m gone,

if you ask me now, I’ll tell you that I

I got a feeling inside and I’m starting to believe

that this feeling inside is telling me to leave, to leave

gonna drive away, gonna leave it all for another time and

STILL STANDING

you keep me up

lying here helpless and sleepless at night

cause somehow you found

found your way back and forth into my life

well this time I’m leaving you behind

getting over you ain’t an easy thing to do

I’ve been struggling learning things I never knew

I think I’ll be just fine

I knew it all the time, and I oh I’m

still standing (x3)

I saw you in a dream

I know it’s been a while

I swear that it was real

I swear you saw me smile

but there’s no goodbye’s this time

getting over you ain’t an easy thing to do

I’ve been struggling learning things I never knew

I think I’ll be just fine

I knew it all the time, and I oh I’m

still standing (x3)

getting over you ain’t an easy thing to do

I’ve been struggling learning things I never knew

I think I’ll be just fine

I knew it all the time, and I oh I’m

still standing (x3)

______________________________

DON’T RUN

you say you wanna run away

well there’ll be no reason to stay

if I knew just what to say

would you turn around my way (x2)

please don’t run (x3)

away

I know I did you wrong

but I’d never want you gone

what I need is crystal clear

oh I know I need you here (x2)

please don’t run (x3)

away

please don’t run (x3)

away (x4)

______________________________

TALK IT OUT

you had a fire inside that wouldn’t subside for anything, anything

you had the power of mind to leave behind everything, everything

how would it feel to leave it all behind (x2)

is there any way I can save the day

and what I need to say, I need to say is say your name

if you could hear me screaming out for you I know you’d say

that this is just a big mistake, a big mistake and we should

talk it out, yeah we should talk it out

now everyone’s watching you wondering if you’ll take the fall

the worst part is nobody knows who you really are at all

how would it feel to leave it all behind (x2)

is there any way, I can save the day

and what I need to say, I need to say is say your name

if you could hear me screaming out for you I know you’d say

that this is just a big mistake, a big mistake and we should 

talk it out, and we should talk it out

nobody knows how they’re gonna go

but one thing I know is this ain’t the end, this ain’t the end

is there any way, I can save the day

and what I need to say, I need to say is say your name

if you could hear me screaming out for you I know you’d say

that this is just a big mistake, a big mistake and we should

talk it out, and we should talk it out

LIVE A LIE

you hear those words of war

but you’re already broken down

can’t take ‘em anymore 

now you’re packin’ up leaving town

yeah a new beginning doesn’t seem

like a bad thought or an empty dream

if you let yourself live a lie

whatcha gonna be when you die

you’ll be nothing but a waste of time

only happy when you live a lie

now your fresh fresh start, it’s getting old

and it’s getting pretty boring truth be told

yeah a new beginning didn’t seem

like a bad thought or an empty dream

if you let yourself live a lie

whatcha gonna be when you die

you’ll be nothing but a waste of time

only happy when you live a lie

you need to turn yourself 

back around (x3)

cause if you stay here you know

you’re gonna drown (x4)

if you let yourself live a lie

whatcha gonna be when you die

you’ll be nothing but a waste of time

only happy when you live a lie

______________________________

OVER THINKING

I have a tendency of always over-thinking 

everything I see, from them to you to me

maybe you might see what I’m doing always over-thinking

maybe you might be what I need to see

this is my philosophy, you and me

where you are is where I wanna be

maybe you might see what I’m doing always over-thinking

maybe you might be what I need to see

ohh (x4)

maybe you might see what I’m doing always over-thinking

maybe you might be what I need to see, what I need to see

ohh (x4)

THE OTHER SIDE

when we were younger, we used to believe

in a world without hunger, no pain to relieve

it’s a harsh world that we live in, it seems so unfair

and we can’t keep on forgiving, when nobody cares

so give us a sign, there’s peace on the other side of this war, of this war

there were no worries about thing

but age came with hurry and reality 

it’s a harsh world that we live in, it seems so unfair

and we can’t keep on forgiving, when nobody cares

so give a sign, there’s peace on the other side of this war, of this war

there’s so many problems, it seems we’ve all forgotten

what we’re fighting for, what we’re fighting for

it’s a harsh world that we live in, it seems so unfair

and we can’t keep on forgiving, when nobody cares

so give us a sign, there’s peace on the other side of this war, of this war 

(repeat chorus)

SOMETHING SWEET

the hardest thing in life is letting someone go

someone that you love, and everybody knows

if you never learn to lose, you’ll never learn to grow

you have to understand

it’s so hard to say goodbye

but when you do, you fall in to something new

it’s so hard to say goodbye

but when you do, you fall into something new

cutting loose from ties, holding me down

free form blinding light, facing unknown ground

you have to fall to fly, you have to fail to feel

just hold your something sweet real close

it’s so hard to say good bye

but when you do, you fall into something new

it’s so hard to say goodbye

but when you do, you fall into something new

(repeat chorus)

life is bittersweet, cause it’s hard to make ends meet

still standing on my feet, cause I got my something sweet

______________________________

WALK THE LINE

well this is the end of the line

you should turn around and keep your pride

now you’re lying all the time

well it’s time for you to go

if you wanna keep your pride

you’re gonna have to walk the line

I wanna see you walk the line

cause there’s no goodbye’s this time

there’s no goodbye’s this time

you’re gonna have to walk the line

now your time has run dry

and there’s no way you can fight it

you’re still lying all the time

it’s time for you to go

if you wanna keep your pride

you’re gonna have to walk the line

I wanna see walk the line

cause there’s no goodbye’s this time

there’s no goodbye’s this time

you’re gonna have to walk the

if you wanna keep your (x2)

pride

you’re gonna have to walk the line

I wanna see you walk the line

cause there’s no goodbye’s this time

there’s no goodbye’s this time

you’re gonna have to walk the line
