Looking Back

There's a better way to find what you're after
There's an answer to the questions that you have in your head
Living in the past is a form of cancer
Moving forward is the only way to make amends
Looking back is something we do when we don't see a future
It's hard to move on when the memory is strong
How do we get what we need?
A little time and a little bit of love you're in control of it
There's just no point in living in the past
Let it all go and just be free
There'a better way to find what you're after
Change is hard but so is never changing a thing
Life goes on even if you're a disaster
Get it together cause you never know what it might bring
Looking Back is something we do when we don't see a future
It's hard to move on when the memory is strong
How do we get what we need?
A little time and a little bit of love you're in control of it
There's just no point in living in the past
Let it all go and just be free
There is nothing that you could ever do to change
The Dash in life that didn't go your way...your way
There is nothing that we could ever hope to see
Unless we plan on changing who we want to be...who we want to be
Looking Back is something we do when we don't see a future
It's hard to move on when the memory is strong
How do we get what we need?
A little time and a little bit of love you're in control of it
There's just no point in living in the past
Let it all go and just be free

Aint the Life

I hate the way you look when we're together
I can't believe that we would last forever
But I'm not ready for a change
You're lying eyes have told to many stories
I loved you babe until you stole my glory
But still I don't want to throw it all away
Cause when you're near me something erases my pain
It clearly fades all away
It fades all away
It fades all away
It fades all away
I know the way you act when you're behind me
When i'm alone and you're out with somebody
But still I'm not ready for the "great debate"
I hate seeing love notes on the table
Like i'm a character in your new fable
But still I don't want to throw it all away
Cause when you're near me something erases my pain
It clearly...it fades all away
It fades all away
It fades all away
It fades all away
But when I try to take you home, try to take you home
I'm only dreaming'
You say you wanna stay out on your own, stay out on your own
And I can't believe it..
This 'aint the life for me
This 'aint the life for me
This 'aint the life for me
This 'aint the life for me

Johnny Boy

I wasn't meant to fit in
I'm a black sheep, I'm on retiling
You'll never catch me sleeping
But I'm always dreaming and looking for reasons
To hold on, hold on, hold on
So hold on, hold on, hold on
The life I knew is always there just creeping up behind
As years go by I know I'm running out of time
To get done the things that's going through my mind
If I don't I'll slowly turn into a different guy
Johnny Boy is dead
Johnny Boy is dead
I made my bed so I lay in it
It's a disaster, but get over it
Unless you want to make it
While I'm lying there naked
So hold on, hold on, hold on
So hold on, hold on, hold on
So many things have come and gone since I was 17
All my life it's like I've been living someone else's dream
If you knew me you would surely see a brilliant mind
But to me it's always working too much overtime
Johnny boy is dead
Johnny boy is dead

Walk On By

Living downtown I don't know who to trust
I can't escape this life I've lived that's left me in the dust
Sleeping on the streets not a penny to my name
I spent it all on drugs and women and now I'm left in pain
If you don't care about the streets
You don't need to say you're sorry
You don't need to say you're sorry
If you don't care about what they need
You don't need to say you're sorry
You don't need to say you're sorry
Keep walking by me
Head to a shelter to find myself a bed
But I'm turned away there's no room today but I need to rest my head
So I keep on walking eastbound until I hit Carnegie Hall
The people there they don't stare cause they don't have at all
And I hit the streets for something that I really really need
But I know if I don't change I'm never gonna get some sleep
If you don't care about the streets
You don't need to say you're sorry
You don't need to say you're sorry
If you don't care about what they need
You don't need to say you're sorry
You don't need to say you're sorry
Keep walking by me
Keep walking by me

Main Streets

All we have to do is make it through
The days we don't believe we're going to
There's pressure all around us to be cool
But don't fit in just keep being you
Because we have a strange disease
The media and TV
It takes our personalities away
But I don't care cause I'm getting out of here
I'm going somewhere where the people just don't care
What you wear or the colour of your hair
So if you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
If you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
Come away with me...
All we have to do is make it through
The days we don't believe we're going to
Magazines and MTV's not true
It's just airbrushed women staring back at you
You know they have a strange disease
Selling you the TV
It only takes there personalities away...away
But I don't care cause I'm getting out of here
I'm going somewhere where the people just don't care
What you wear or the colour of your hair
So if you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
If you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
If you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
If you're tired of the mainstream and don't shop on main streets
Then come away with me...
Come away with me
Come away with me

Old Hotel

Going by the old hotel, going by the hotel where you met me...
Stop in to have a drink, just to erase your memory
But you're standing there, with your bright eyes smiling at me
But Im not scared, you died three years ago so this can't be
I must be suffering from...
Post traumatic stress disorder, you're not alive but I just saw you
Standing there a ghostly figure, bartender I need more liquor now
You and me...
You and me...
Going by the old hotel, where we first made love
Stop in to have a drink to think of all the dreams that we dreamed of
But you're standing there in the same dress from that evening
But i'm not scared, cause I've been waiting for this feeling
I think I'm suffering from...
Post traumatic stress disorder, you're not alive but I just saw you
Standing there across the room, I didn't think I would see you soon
Post traumatic stress disorder, I bought a gun so I can join you
Lay in bed in room 13, pull the trigger and go to sleep
Post traumatic stress disorder, you're not alive
But I just saw you...
I just saw you...
Post traumatic stress disorder, you're not alive but I just saw you
Standing there across the room, I didn't think I would see you soon
Post traumatic stress disorder, I bought a gun so I can join you
Lay in bed in room 13, pull the trigger and go to sleep
Post traumatic stress disorder, I didn't think so but now I know
That we could run this old hotel, both be dead but feeling well together...
Forever...
You and me.

Fix

I guarantee life gets hard sometimes
roads go to nowhere they twist and they wind
You've got to look forward to what lies ahead
Life doesn't start till...till you get out of bed
Desperately seeking i'm falling to shreds
Hopefully dreaming of whats in my head
Outside my window the days roll by
I should be walking...not running my life
But the days go by when I'm asleep
And the nights that I've survived I wish were a drem
I need some help
I can't fix myself
So I'm going to find a better place for me
The people who care are all slipping away
They've been there for so long they don't know what to say
Throw me away but please don't lose the key
The old me is dead now let's get back to JC
Now those days roll by but i've been awake
And the nights i've survived I don't want to change
Cause I need some help
I can't fix myself
So I'm going to find a better place for me
Cause I need some help
I can't fix myself
So I'm going to find a better place for me
A better place for me.
