No Way In Hell (My Will is Strong)
You must have your reservations on this
A bumpy road and a disconnect
No one owes anyone anything anymore
Cover your bases, get to the point
Well, listen up, I've got news for you
It's not about what makes most sense
It's about making dollars
You never had the real power
You ask, would I?
No way in hell

Don't Ask Me Why (Dead and Gone)
You should make your peace in town again
Forgo it all and dig your heels right in
No one's a hero until they are dead and gone
Don't ask me why, I don't know why
We just want what's best for you, ok?
We know you have not been thinking straight
No one knows which cards are about to be dealt
Don't ask us why, we don't know why
Terrified by the way you put them down
Just so you can feel a little better now
Beggars cannot choose, finders always keep
Winners rarely lose, and losers should not weep
Love is not how we make it out in song
But we, for all time, we sing along
When I enter my next phase, I'll start off scared
Don't ask me why, I don't know why

Where Does Your Love Come From? (Common Denominator)
There's a common denominator here
It is not motivated by fear
That light at the end of the tunnel
Is not always an oncoming train
Tell me, where does your love come from?
I'll relax my body, it starts within
No longer will I play the villain
You're tried and true and etched in stone
And we don't know how deep it goes
Tell me, where does your love come from?
It might not always be the first in line
And it sure as hell don't show up on time
But it makes me glad and sweet inside
It drives the skies in view, and the stars to align
Tell me, where does your love come from?

Your Man (I'll Come Runnin')
If you ever feel alone
I'll come runnin'
I'll be right home
I'll come runnin', yeah
I'll be your man
If you ever need to cry
I'll come runnin'
I'll be by your side
I'll come runnin', yeah
I'll be your man
Oh, the long way to go
Not always the wrong way, no
Girl, you'll never ever know
Just how long and how far I have gone
If you ever should want to go
I'll come runnin'
Darling, know I'll come runnin'
You know I will
I'll be your man

(bloody lip) (deep trouble)
I'm not like that
I'm not like that
I'll try one last time
Just to get it off my mind
I'll try once more
I'm not like that
I'm not like that
I'll try one last time
Just to get you off my mind
I'll try once more

Be That Too (In Your Dreams)
You could be whatever you want
You could be brand new
Or you could be like everyone
You could be that too
You're working at the family store
Just to see it through
But you could go for something more
Live a life that's true
You could throw your words around
Keep your tongue real loose
Or you could be like everyone
Tied up tight as a noose
You could be that too
You could be everything you want to be
You could see a world that you had conceived
You could breathe like when you were young and naive
You could believe in all you ever dreamed you'd be
All you ever dreamed you'd be
You could be that too
You could be like everyone
Doing what they do
Or you could be something new
You could be that too

The Days I Have No Music In My Car (Dreaming)
I must have been dreaming
To think you'd ever let me go (oh no)
You should've told me you'd gone out, or something like that
How was I to know?
Sometimes I get into a mood
Like the days I have no music in my car
I must have been sleeping
Dreaming of somebody new (how about you?)
What were you doing in the corner that time?
Thought I saw you two
Sometimes I get into a mood
Like the days I have no music in my car
I must have been sleeping
To ever, ever wanna go that route (no doubt)
I must have had something
Heavy, weighin' my mind down
Sometimes I get into a mood
Like the days I have no music in my car

Wasting Time (Two Months)
Don't you know you're wasting all your time?
If it's something good, then you should try to make it last
You should only start what you plan to take to the end
Stuck in the middle of a battle you don't know
The first step is to admit that you done wrong

Simple Song ( )
This might be a simple song
It might not take very long
But I have packed all the words that I could say
It might be an easy tune
With all the rhymes like moon and June
But it might be my one and my only way
You are always on my mind
I think about you all the time
There it is, I said it, I can't believe it took so long
If there's one thing I can promise you
It's that I can be simple too
And our whole lives would be one simple song
