Somewhere New 03:34
lyrics
It was summer in the year of never mind When the sun pushed itself up over the timberline And you found yourself breathing on the other side Of everything you had to leave behind Most of life's a mystery I guess Like the way I loved you long before we ever met Or how the sun is always heading west I hope you'll find a way to make the best Somewhere new Somewhere new When you're lonely, asking yourself why Remember that the only fool's the bitter kind And God knows there's just some mistakes we have to try And it feels like you're lost until you realize You've arrived Somewhere new You don't have to be afraid of starting over You don't have to be afraid to go it alone You don't have to be afraid of starting over You don't have to go it alone

More 03:24
lyrics
Here we go again, sure and steady as a mission bell I don't know about you, but I don't see it ending well If we had it good, it wouldn't matter We want it bigger, we want it faster Singing into my own reflection at the bottom of the wishing well There's gotta be more There's gotta be more There's gotta be more Doesn't there? I went to the river of endless satisfaction Waited for a while, but then nothing really happened The well intentioned tried to bring me around They said fighting the current is the quickest way to drown But I just couldn't figure out how to quit asking There's gotta be more There's gotta be more There's gotta be more Doesn't there? 'Cause by the time you get everything you ever wanted Ooh baby like it or not It just ain't like you pictured it, baby aren't you sick of it That feeling that you just can't stop There's gotta be There's gotta be more Doesn't there? There's gotta be more There's gotta be more There's gotta be more Doesn't there?

You Wonder 03:35
lyrics
The end was near You flew so fast Now you're in the clear You can't look back You can't shed a tear For what brought you here 'Cause it's true Time has a way Of dulling The sharpest of blades You stole it Made the cleanest of breaks Now you're safe And then out of the blue You wonder Still you wonder Even though it almost took you under You wonder Snakes in the grass Paint peeling Under that overpass A strange feeling That nothing can last September makes you mad Even now You've long since Swallowed that pill Watched the fire burn Over that hill It hasn't changed And it never will That's how you feel Until somehow You wonder Still you wonder In the late summer lightning and the thunder You wonder On the drive home If you're still alone after all this time Is it all just as you left it Somewhere in the back of your mind You wonder Still you wonder Even though it almost took you under You wonder

Sunday on the Way to Church 04:11
lyrics
Staring out the back window Squirming in my pantyhose 9 am and it's already 85 Ain't much here to cause alarm Yard sales and tobacco barns Dogwood trees and river birch Sunday on the way to church Mama wears her makeup thick Daddy wakes up in the mornings sick Me, I spend a lot of time alone Wondering if time will tell All the secrets we keep to ourselves Jesus save us from our worst Sunday on the way to church Oh glory, I'll fly away Straight into that summer sun one day To the place the mystery becomes clear Pull into the parking lot Remember what you forgot One day the last shall be the first Sunday on the way to church

Some Girls 04:18
lyrics
There it was Sunday morning And you couldn't say why You thought you smelled her perfume But it blew right by Your brother married in the summer And she knew the bride And no one ever had your number Like she did that night Some girls will take you for a liar Some girls will take all you can spend Some girls will take you as they find you And you loved that she was one of them Coffee in an empty diner Open all night Lipstick on your rented collar The truth in the lie Some girls are looking for a reason Some girls are looking for a friend Some girls didn't need you in the first place And you loved that she was one of them She was like a shadow A trick of the light You never saw her leaving coming But it's alright Some girls are worried it's forever Some girls are worried it could end Some girls just smile and say "I'll see ya" And you loved that she was one of them

Try 03:27
lyrics
I've never been The kind of man to go downtown at night Without somewhere to be or someone to fight Just as soon be alone Sit around Burning down some memory to get you through Where I grew up that's all they knew how to do Talk about some bird that's flown And I never found much of a reason to believe And I don't think this world has seen the best of me But I, I think you could make me try Anything Could happen but it seems like it never does This town would have the same for the two of us Take your pride and wash it down But there you are Standing in the door like a dreamer's dream Like something I saw from a magazine And I think I could make you proud And maybe we could win going against the grain And even if turned out to be all in vain I, I think you could make me try I think you could make me try I think you could make me try

I Promise I'm Fine 03:32
lyrics
I promise I'm fine What good does it do to cry anyway If you don't run or fly That river just swallows you up someday There's beauty in it all I know it even when that bell don't ring I've never felt so small I've never felt so lonely or so free I have looked love in the eye I have held its heavy hand I will hold my head up high Knowing now, I understand I spent all afternoon Down by the school where the creek cuts in While the sun burned through The last bit of August on the wind And I thought about you And everything that I'd do differently But then I wondered Maybe that's exactly how it's supposed to be I have looked love in the eye I have held its heavy hand I will hold my head up high Knowing now, I understand I have looked love in the eye I have held its heavy hand I will hold my head up high Knowing now, I understand I have looked love in the eye I have held its heavy hand I will hold my head up high Knowing now, I understand

Bird's Eye View 03:32
lyrics
I could not anticipate The agony of being open The temptation to wanna close it All away from you Angry as a featherweight Crying on the bathroom floor Am I still the girl that you loved before Or am I somebody new Ooh does the shine wear off If everything you wanted ain't exactly what you thought Ooh all the time you've lost Waiting on me to come around Now that you have a bird's eye view Do I still look the same to you Do I still look the same to you Why do I still want to fight The endless ache that comes from growing Love and all its primal knowing I never liked being told Ooh all of that admiration That you used to have for my wild imagination Ooh when it starts fading Is there more where that came from Now that you have a bird's eye view Do I still look the same to you Do I still look the same to you Now I ain't afraid to fight I ain't afraid of holding on tight If you're willing, then so am I Now that you have a bird's eye view Do I still look the same to you Do I still look the same to you Now that you have a bird's eye view Do I still look the same to you Do I still look the same to you

The Inevitable 03:37
lyrics
Another Wednesday You come dragging in from work A little pink pill Stops whatever starts to hurt You borrowed time But it came at such a cost All the details Drifting out into the fog You come to lost In the middle of a dream She was something But you couldn't change a thing Disappearing Shadows flicker on the ground Someone's footsteps Walking up behind you now The inevitable The inevitable The inevitable Will run you down The inevitable The inevitable The inevitable Will run you down The steps get louder Now you know you're losing ground The water's rising And the walls are coming down God what happened You used to know yourself so well You were so sure Then it just got hard to tell The inevitable The inevitable The inevitable Will run you down The inevitable The inevitable The inevitable Will run you down You wake up to The sound of static on the screen It was so real But it must have been a dream

Midnight in the South 03:35
lyrics
The moon is hanging High and lonesome Cicadas singing Warms winds blowing Salt and live oak Somewhere God knows The street lights glow For their amusement A seaside town Turns navy blue, and I'm getting older And it's good to know there's Still some magic to be found A little truth coming up through the ground Somewhere to drown it out Midnight in the South I've been thinking About you lately The time when you said Nothing's sacred But they don't have this yet And you can bet there's Still some magic to be found A little truth coming up through the ground If you stop and look around Midnight in the South Tomorrow I'll be moving on Some other dream will carry me away But there's a piece I always leave Behind Where there's still some magic to be found A little truth coming up through the ground In a sleepy little town Midnight in the South
