Much Too Much

Much Too Much (Edge of the Earth)
I'm riding coat tails, I'm a pleading case
I'm a cut nose spiting its own face
You're a soft light, you're a moon beam
You're a star
I am swindled, I'm a hopeless man
I am vices in an old tin can
You're a soft light, you're a candle
You're a star
I wanna write you a song
I wanna move you to the edge of the earth
I wanna hold you close
But it's much too much for me
I'm a rat race, I'm an unmarked grave
I'm a shadow, I'm a big dead weight
You're a soft light, you're a movie
You're a star
I wanna write you a song
I wanna move you to the edge of the earth
I wanna hold you close
But it's much too much for me
It's no great secret, it's no big deal
I am gonna treat you the way you should be
I wanna write you a song
I wanna move you to the edge of the earth
I wanna hold you close
But it's much too much for me

One Look (Underdog of the Century)
We all stood in a circle, doing nothing special
I lift my head, saw you walk in, and I fell in love
From just one look
From just one look
Then you walked straight up to me, the underdog of the century
You didn't even have to say one word, you just gave a smile
And just one look
And just one look
Sometimes words can ruin moods
So I kept all thoughts to myself
And then you signal to me with your eyes
That we should go
And we were gone
We walked around in a circle, doing nothing special
I'm off the handle, I can't breathe, I've grown obsessed
From just one look
From just one look
Then you took me to your room, played Seger's "Night Moves"
You gave me a wink, slipped off your boots, and got me in bed
With just one look
With just one look
And when we're done making sweet love
I brush the hair from off your neck
And then you whisper to me with your eyes
That we should go
And we do it again

Can't Go On

Can't Go On (Trust)
Even if I never lied
Even if I never tried
You'd still run and hide
You'd still hang me dry
This can't on
Until you can trust me
If you're laying on a shelf
If you're living in a cloud
You need to come down
You need to come 'round
This can't on
Until you can trust me

Elephant (Come What May)
I know a story, or two, you have heard them many times before
They talk of the sweet life, you, the afterlife, and more and more and more (and more)
You can't eat it whole
Maybe sometimes the stars align, and other times it's just like the wild west
Maybe sometimes, sometimes, you find yourself alone with the very best (yes)
One bite at a time
There will be better days
There will be better days than this
Come whatever, come what may
You feel it in your fingertips
But you can't eat it whole
You can't eat it whole

In My Eyes (Bright Blue Skies)
You claw at the ones
Bleached with love
You pick out distractors
And the poor infections
A shadow cast in my eyes
Big cruel lies
Ghosts of the past in my eyes
Bright blue skies...
Soul mates come and go
You find them anywhere
There's not only one to choose from
There's many out there
A shadow cast in my eyes
Big cruel lies
Ghosts of the past in my eyes
Bright blue skies
In my eyes
You give all the rain
Back to the cloud
You can't give empathy
When you try it out loud
A shadow cast in my eyes
Big cruel lies
Ghosts of the past in my eyes
Bright blue skies
In my eyes

Something Good (Something Else)
I can't make it stop
I won't make it not
I can't let it out
It won't be said aloud
I want something else
I want something good
The short end of the stick
Little ducks in a row
The training wheels are off
I'm not gonna hold your hand anymore
I want something else
I want something good

It's Hard Enough As Is (Faith)
What could I say to apologize
To put your mind at ease
What could I say to compromise
What can I do to make it right
When all I done was wrong
How can I ever stay within the lines
What could I say to put your faith in me
What on earth could I say at all
When all you believe in is what you want

Upside Down (Cats in the Coliseum)
When the world turned upside down
It stood on my head
When the world blew all around
Mine fell on itself
Just like disease
It'll never happen to me
Point it out like I see
Like a thief in a museum
Or the cats in the coliseum
We shit where we want
We say what we are
Our word is our bond
Whether it's right or wrong
When the world turned upside down
It stood on my head
When the world blew all around
Mine fell on itself
Don't you stop until the sun comes up
Just promise me one thing
Don't let up until it all runs out
Until it's upside down
When the world turned upside down
It stood on my head
When the world blew all around
Mine fell on itself

Going Places (Playing Pretend)
You gave me a gun, said I don't like them none
The car broke down, said it wouldn't run
But I don't mind
No, I never mind
You're going places
But you don't come 'round here
You gave me a bottle, said I don't drink
Let's go out dancing, said it helps me think
But I don't mind
No, I never mind
You're going places
But you don't come 'round here
You gave me a chance, said I never done this before
I hope I'll see you, said it on the floor
But I don't mind
No, I never did mind
You're going places
But you don't come 'round here

Fight For Me (Know By Now)
So you wanna go another round
Say you wanna try and knock me down
So you wanna go another round
I know my chances, I'll bow out
Now you wanna start this up again
Now you wanna drag it to the end
So you wanna go another round
I know my chances, I'll bow out
Don't ever stop
Don't ever stop your fight for me
You won't ever stop
You won't ever stop the fight
I know by now
I know by now
