Who Did You Think I Was
- I got half a smile and zero shame
- I got a reflection with a different name
- Got a brand new blues I can't explain
-
- Who did you think I was
-
- Every mornin when the day begins
- I make up my mind but change it back again
- I'm a shifter of the shape im in
- Who did you think i was
-
- You got my number but i always knew the score
- Who did you think I was
-
- Am I the one who plays the quiet songs
- Is He the one who turns the ladies on
- But I'll keep shinin til my light is gone
- Who did you think I was
-
- You got my number but i always knew the score
- Who did you think I was
-
- Here is a line that you won't understand
- I'm half of the boy but twice the man
-
- Carry the weight of the world in the palm of my hand
- Who did you think I was
- Who did you think I was
Good Love Is On The Way

Wait Til Tomorrow
- Well, I'm standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
- Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
- Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
- Come on dolly mae, there's no time to stall
- But now you're telling me...
-
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
-
- Got to make sure it's right, so until tomorrow, goodnight.
-
- Oh, dolly mae, how can you hang me up this way ?
- Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
- Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
- Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of you
- And you keep tellin' me that ah...
-
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
-
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
- No, can't wait that long
- I think we better wait till tomorrow
- Got to make sure it's right, until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.
- Let's see if I can talk to this girl a little bit here...
-
- Ow ! dolly mae, girl, you must be insane
- So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
- Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree ?
-
- Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
- And I hear you say, as I fade away...
-
- We don't have to wait till tomorrow
- We don't have to wait till tomorrow
- we don't have to wait till tomorrow
- It must have been right, so forever, goodnight.
Gravity
- Gravity, is working against me
- And Gravity, wants to bring me down
- Oh, Ive never known what makes this man
- With all the love that this heart can stand
- Dream of ways to throw it all away
-
- Whoa, Gravity is working against me
-
- And Gravity, it wants to bring me down
- Oh, twice as much aint twice as good
- And cant sustain like one half could
- Its wanting more that's gonna set me to my knees
-
- Guitar solo
-
- Twice as much aint twice as good
- And cant sustain like one half could
- Its wanting more that's gonna set me to my knees
-
- Whoa Gravity, stay the hell away from me
- And Gravity, has taken better man than me
-
- Now how can that be
- Just keep me where the light is
- Just keep me where the light is
- Just keep me where the light is
- Just keep me where the light is
Vultures
- Some of us, We're hardly ever here
- The rest of us, we're born to disappear
- How do I stop myself from
- being just a number
- How do i hold my head
- to keep from going under
-
- Down to the wire
- I wanted water but
- I'll walk through the fire
- If this is what it takes
- to take me even higher
- then i'll come through
- Like I do
- when the world keeps
-
- testing me, testing me, testing me
-
- How did they find me here
- what do they want from me
- All of these vultures hanging
- right outside my door
- I hear them whisperin
- they're tryin to ride it out
- They've never gone this long
-
- without a kill before
-
- Down to the wire
- I wanted water but
- I'll walk through the fire
- If this is what it takes
- to take me even higher
- then i'll come through
- Like I do
-
- when the world keeps
- testing me, testing me, testing me
-
- (solo)
-
- Wheels up
- I got to leave this evening
- Can't seem to keep these vultures
- out of my tree(sometimes he says trail)
-
- Powers is made, by power being taken
- I keep on running
- to protect (sometimes he says control) my situation
-
- Down to the wire
- I wanted water but
- I'll walk through the fire
- If this is what it takes
- to take me even higher
-
- then i'll come through
- Like I do
- when the world keeps
- testing me, testing me, testing
-
- oooooooooooo
- oooooooooooo
- oooooooooooo
- oooooooooooo
-
- Whatcha gonna do about it
- whatcha gonna do about it
- whatcha gonna do about it
'Out Of My Mind' lyrics (a.k.a. 'E Blues')
- I'm putting you
- I'm putting you out of my mind
- I'm putting you
- I'm putting you right out of my mind
- I'm so tired of running after you
-
- One-and-one-half steps behind
-
- Go tell your friends
- Go tell your friends what Johnny did
- Yeah, go tell your friends
- Go tell your friends what Johnny did
- If they don't laugh right at you
- They just as fucked (sometimes he says messed) up as you is
-
- (Solo)
-
- If I don't see you tomorrow
- See you another day, I'm sure
- If I don't see you tomorrow
- See you another day, I'm sure
- I'll run into you at your job
- You be waiting for me outside the stage door
-
- I'm putting you
- I'm putting you right out of my mind
-
- I'm putting you, baby
- I'll put you right out of my mind
- So tired of chasing after you
- Being one-and-one-half steps behind
Another Kind of Green
- Sara's friend she lost her mind
- left him and made it look sexy
- You fear I won't be far behind
- Thinking I'll be the next to leave
- I know I might be anxious
- But I'm still not crazy
-
- And I don't need another kind of green to know
- I'm on the right side
- I'm on the right side with you
-
- I used to be the one saw
- Crying alone to sad songs
-
- But then we go and hit the wall
- When nothings changed, nothing's wrong
- It's not the perfect hand
- But I dont hit on nineteen
-
- And I don't need another kind of green to know
- I'm on the right side
- I'm on the right side with you
-
- Someday you'll drift away from me
- Adopt some new philosophy
-
- That doesn't keep the two of us in mind
- Move into someone else's place
- And stare in truth in other's eyes
- And slowly only come to realize
-
- That you didn't need another kind of green to know
- I'm on the right
- Mine was the right side
- I'm on the right side with you

Something's Missing
- I'm not alone
- I wish I was
- Cause then I'd know I was down because
- I couldn't find a friend around
- To love me like they do right now
- They do right now
-
- I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
-
- I searched for joy, but bought it all
- It doesnt help the hunger pain
- And the thirst I'd have to drown first
- ever satiate
-
- Something's missing
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
- And I don't know what it is
-
- At all
-
- When autumn comes
- It doesn't ask
- It just walks in where it left you last
- You never know when it starts
-
- Until there's fog inside the glass around
- your summer heart
-
- Something's missing
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
- And I don't know what it is
- At all
-
- I can't be sure that this state of mind
- Is not of my own design
- I Wish there was an over-the-counter test
-
- For loneliness like this
-
- Something's missing
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
- And I don't know what it is
- No I don't know what it is
-

Daughters
- I know a girl.
- She puts the color inside of my world.
- She's just like a maze,
- Where all of the walls all continually change.
-
-
And I've done all I can
- To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
- But I'm starting to see
- Maybe it's got nothing to do with me.
-
- Fathers be good to your daughters
- Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers be good to your daughters too
-
-
Oh, you see that skin?
- It's the same she's been standing in
- Since the day she saw him walking away
- Now she's left
- Cleaning up the mess he made
-
- Fathers be good to your daughters
- Daughters will love like you do
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers be good to your daughters too
-
-
\Boys, you can break,
- You'll find out how much they can take
- Boys will be strong
- And boys soldier on
- But boys would be gone without warmth from
- A woman's good, good heart
-
-
On behalf of every man
- Looking out for every girl
- You are the god, and the weight of her world.
-
-
So fathers be good to your daughters,
- Daughters will love like you do
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers, be good to your daughters, too.

- But you don't wanna leave

- Is the moments in between

- But I only wanna find
- One sweet little angel
- Who's gonnalet me speak my mind
- All I ever do these days
-
- Is knock my process down
- She's making my decision
- Now I'm losing all of my ground
-
- I'm gonna try, try
- Gonna try
- Try to be myself
- Although myself I wonder why
- I'm gonna try, try
-

- Try to be myself
- I wanna try to be myself this time
