Long Way Home
J. spinks, r. difonzo
I drive these streets alone in silence
Another ride trying to clear my head
But all I hear is just the beat of my heart
I think of her but I see you instead
(chorus)
And theres a thousand little lies
A thousand little reasons
For me to stay - for me to go
And theres a thousand little voices
Inside my head saying
Take the long way home
I tell myself that its all over
But then I see you and I just dont know
What should I listen to my heart or my mind
Too tired to think about the way I should go
(chorus)
Theres no one out there when you need to decide
And youre on your own
You keep on thinking bout the wrong that youve done
You try to hide but theres no place to run
(chorus)

Explain It To My Heart
I understand theres no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now youve made it clear
Itll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now weve got to say good-bye and Ive got to be strong
So tell me one more time how its better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how well hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling theres just one more thing
Before you walk away
(chorus)
Explain it to my heart
Its better that were over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that its supposed to be
Tell me that Im better off without you
How its better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now wont you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we cant stay together and I might convince my mind
But its breaking my heart to know Ive got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love Ive known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that its better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do i
(chorus)
Say that Ill be better
If we dont stay together
Say that Ill be better off free
But dont say it to me
Explain it to my heart...

Soul Motion
Ive got the fever, poison in my veins
My mind aint working right
I know the answer, the way to ease this pain
Only got myself to fight
I can see clearly but choose to be blind
A slave to desire
Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind
Youre like playing with fire
Chorus:
I need you
I want to stay on this soul motin ride
There is no danger when youre here by my side
Given some distance, just a little time
Right and wrong seems clear
But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind
Every time that youre near
Over and over I say to myself
Ooh, shes only playing
Ten thousand reasons to find someone else
Still I hear myself saying
Repeat chorus
Im out here on the edge
And I know whats in store
It should be over and done, just let go and run
But Ive tasted too much
Nothings the same anymore

Drive A Crooked Road
Cruisin down the street
Got the glaze in my eyes
Lookin for a thousand reasons why
I dont want to be here
I dont want to die
What was I thinking we should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home
Drive a crooked road
Stop inside a liquor store
Just to grab a taste
Man behind the counter
Dont recognize my face
Give me all your money
Got not time to waste
What was I thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home
Chorus:
Drive a crooked road
Drive a crooked road
Satisfy your soul
Drive a crooked road
I just ran out of time
I just ran out of luck
Ive never been busted
And this aint even my truck
Everybodys laughin
Nobody cares
It seems like theres red
Flashin lights everywhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sittin in the darkness
Im staring at the bars
Couldnt drive too fast
I couldnt drive too far
I could have been somebody
I could have been a star
Should have stayed at home
Should have stayed in bed
Thought I heard this crazy
Screaming, screaming in my head, said

What was I thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home

Cold night

Silence Speaks (A Thousand Words)
Verse 1:
When I asked you
You said nothing was wrong
But I listened to your magical song
All its notes were gone
You sang it, I heard
Silence speaks a thousand words
Verse 2:
You keep telling me
Ill pay the price
For asking you once
And telling you twice
But I paid the day your emotions turned cold
Silence speaks a thousand words
Chorus:
Where do I turn when you turn away
Its never just the things you say
You never ever put me down
But when I speak you turn around
And saying not much is saying a lot
Verse 3:
If you spoke truth
There would be no doubt
But the only words are
"well work it out"
Well thats not saying much
You just dont take the time
And that is where I draw the line
Chorus
Bridge:
Youre sending signals
First of hope then insecurity
Signals of doubt are everywhere
And subconsciously
You know you wanna break the ties
But you use silence
You use lies
Dont worry
Ill return your song of silence
Silence speaks a thousand words
Silence speaks a thousand words

Every Now & Then
A memory of you in my head
Id rather love you instead
After all the pain youve put me through
Sometimes at night I still need you
Pre chorus
You took me through changes
But no one loves me like you do
Love leaves me so empty
And when youre gone
I fall apart
Chorus
Every now and then
Every now and then
I want to call you
Every now and then
Every now and then
I want to call you
Promised myself
A thousand times
Id learn to live
Without your smile
Other loves try to take
Your place
But your sweet touch
I cant erase

If somebody tells you look out boy,
That stuff youre doin is way too strong.
Pay them no mind, just give em time,
Keep your head, you cant do no wrong.

Dont Want You Back
(max martin)
You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the backstreets back, all right
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, Im still amazed baby
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now were done and over with
I dont want you back
Chorus
Dont want you back
cause youre no good for me
I know
Thats all I can say
Dont want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I dont want you back
You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realise
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies

Baby, dont bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story bout you and i
Dont want you back
Thats all I know
Dont want you back
All I can say
Dont want you back

Constantly
I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Havent known you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too much too strong
Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
Chorus:
Constantly, youre on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I cant sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking bout you
Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That youre seeing each and every day
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend
When I know thats not where I want it to end
How could this be wrong
When the feelings so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
Chorus 2x
No I dont want to start no trouble
Between you and I and your lover
But I must tell you what Im going through
Everytime you walk by I see love in your eyes

A Thousand Years
Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, its getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everythings fine
Chorus:
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin, the world will come tumblin down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
Theres blood on the wind and its come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everythings fine

A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, well find you a home underground, in a thousand years

When you say goodbye, I die just a little bit

Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know
Round and round I go

What is your master plan
What did you have me do
Confusion in my mind
Been hurt a thousand times
Now I know youre not true

Just to make you happy
All this time Ive waited
Now our love has faded
Please tell me why its gone
So my life can go on

Sidewalk Talk
Watch where you walk 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it everyone will know
Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on
Chorus:
Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say
Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long the street
They can read what you say so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you
Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been mislead by the things you've said
(chorus)
Intermediate:
When you're living on the street
Life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own
Make your heart into a home
You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it
After every word there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone they'll sing a song
Of the stories you told when you felt so bold
You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true they'll run with you
(chorus)
(intermediate)
You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it
(repeat 3 times)

Sidewalk talk

Let me tell ya 'bout sidewalk talk

The Best Thing You Ever Had
(yeah, blues!)
I wont ask where youre going
If you dont ask where Ive been
cause if youre looking for an answer, babe
I wouldnt know where to begin.
I dont know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
Youve got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside
If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on
Chorus #1:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
Ill show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I aint finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
You know a little bout love and
I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate
But this wont be the first time that
We didnt see eye to eye
You may not be religious but Ill make you see god
If you give me a try
I know love can get me through it
If you give me that look well get down to it
Chorus #2:
Dont shoot me down
Im not a social disease
Youve got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
Ill teach you baby
bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it aint so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had
Solo
Ah, give me some of that!
When I put out the dog
Ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I aint looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head
Im the one to right your wrong
If you give me a chance and Ill turn you on

Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin all day that you would call me

Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose

As sure as my name is what it is
Youll always have a place in my heart

Ride
Chillin out from across the room,
I can read your mind.
Dont say a word I can see it in your eyes.
I need a change of scenery,
Blue skies gonna set us free,
All I know is you and I should ride.
[chorus:]
Come with me on a trip to nowhere,
Take a train, plane, or motorbike.
Dont care about your bags, well leave tonight.
Dont care about a destination,
Or the troubles well leave behind,
As long as youre here with me,
Baby lets ride.
Monday of another season, feels like rain,
Tomorrow knows itll belike yesterday.
Getting tired of the same old faces,
I been dreaming bout the brand new places.
Lets fade, check out and get away.

Follow the highway of your heart,
Not of your mind.
And dont waste time.
Baby lets ride.
Lets ride.baby come on lets ride.

The Heart Survives
When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause Id used up all my strength
And you cant let a woman see you cryin
And you know its real
Shes not gonna change her mind
You choose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you dont understand
And you want to be a man about it
In time youll learn to live without it
And you know that youll survive
But still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
Youre gonna grow again
Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives
Your stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep alone
Chorus
Youve been over it so many times in your head
Looking for a hidden message of hope
In something she said
Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end
Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend

One
One thousand voices
But not one heard
One thousand thoughts
But not one word
One thousand troubles
But no one will know it
Unless I decide to
Finally show it
One thousand cuts
Run down my arm
A tribute to my
Life of self-harm
One thousand scars
That will not heal
One thousand people
Who will not feel
One thousand but no more
I finally decide
There will be one less person
And one more suicide
