Yesterday's Passed Away
03:12
|
|||
|
It almost feels like plastic flowers
We talk for hours and I shower in the rain
It almost seems like early morning
Cards are boring and church it is the same
All things I say usually make you laugh
And most things I do don't make sense
It’s just like the way that you rule the world to me
And it's all the same the way you love me
The way you keep me the world was once new
So don't tell me that I can't love too it’s not for you to say
yesterday has passed away
It's been said that lates better than never
We are together there ain't nothing feel the same
It’s hard to tell when the sky is a different colour
I love my mother and my father feels the same
All things you say usually make me laugh
And nothin you do don't make sense
It’s just like the way that you make it hard to sleep
And it's all the same the way you love me
The way you keep me the world was once new
So don't tell me that I can't love too it’s not for you to say
yesterday has passed away

Jessica's Flowers
02:23
|

|
Too many times I had to leave
Before Jessica came come
My little girl and blue rubber trees
Da da da da da da da da da
So don’t you forget that I love you
And that I am your dad
You may perceive fantastically that’ll be okay until I say
There ain’t no more time to be sad
Jessica’s flowers taller than towers
They’re out in the field
Touch them they’re real
Jessica won’t mind at all
I raised a good girl and she raised a good dad
Just her and me and those blue rubber trees
And a whole lotta space to grow
Jessica’s flowers taller than towers
They’re out in the field
Touch them they’re real
Jessica won’t mind at all
(repeat)
They’re out in the field touch them they’re real
Jessica won’t mind at all
Jessica won’t mind cause she’s in my mind
She is not even real at all

50's Rock Ballad
02:36
|
|||
|
You wake up in the morning with a feeling that things are over
And then you give your head a shake and tell yourself everything is ok
It's like you always say everything will eventually work out
Or at least it seems like it's always been that way
Now mama done told you that's how things would work out
So I don't know why you’re acting so surprised
That's how he's always got anyone that he's had
By covering up I love you with his lies.
Banter
I never knew what love was
Until I found you baby I was blind
Now that I know what love does
It makes me feel like I could die
But it's not like you didn't know that this was coming
I mean you must have seen it in his eyes last night
The way he talked and the way that he acted
Must have told you something wasn't right
Must have told you something wasn't right (x4)

It Doesn't Matter
02:42
|
|||
|
And if I told you that you could make me talk to let you know
That you oh anywhere for you I'd go yes I would yeah
Summer in December is nice but it makes no sense
And if you wanted me in September it could cost you 60 cents
That’s for me it's all I need you see it’s all I need
My dad likes Steve Earle he thinks that he rules the world
But I don't no I don’t yeah
And me I like the Big O his songs are sad and kind of slow
Ahh but he don't think so no no
And that doesn't mean that he don't love me
That doesn't mean that I don't love him cause I do
The Beatles never really died but John Lennon did
And sometimes I wanna cry because I ain't a kid
You see yeah what do you think about me yeah
It doesn't matter it doesn’t matter no no
It doesn't matter it doesn’t matter no no
It doesn't matter it doesn't matter at all to me

Suppose
02:57
|
|||
|
Suppose my love would never die again
Suppose the birds would never fly again
Suppose my eyes would never cry again
Suppose you were in love with me
Suppose that you weren't in love with him
Oh suppose that you love me again
Suppose that I could make you see and then
You'd be in love with me
But I can't help it that I feel the way I do
No I cannot help it oh I feel in love with you
No I didn't mean to didn't want to break you heart
But I can't help it oh it's tearing me apart
Suppose that I could turn back time
Is there a chance that you could be mine?
Suppose our love would live and be divine
I suppose but I can't
Suppose I knew the answer to my words
Suppose you knew they’re mine and then you heard
Suppose our love could fly just like a bird
Suppose I wasn't dream dreaming
And I can't help it but I feel the way I do
No I can't help it oh I feel in love with you
No I didn't mean no I didn't want to break you heart
But I can't help it it's tearing me apart
And I can't help it cause I feel the way I do
And I cannot help it no I feel in love with you
No I didn't mean to I didn't want to break you heart
But I cannot help it it's tearing me apart yeah

Daniel

Sometimes when I'm all alone
Just sitting around alone
I think of us
I think of you and me
Sometimes when you’re not in the place
Where we were last night face to face
I think of us
Oh I think of you and me
Yeah but each time I wake up and you’re not around
I start feeling bad and my head hangs down
Just then I realize you’re not gone to stay
You’ll be back before I’ve got much else to say
I can't understand what makes us so good
It’s something that to me that never be understood
But ain't it grand no need to understand
Just take my hand
Da, da, da, da, da, da Daniel
Da, da, da, da, da, da Daniel
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Oh but each time I wake up and you’re not around
I start feeling bad and my head hangs down
Just then I realize you’re not gone to stay
You’ll be back before I’ve got much else to say
I can't understand what makes us so good
It’s something that to me that never be understood
But ain't it grand no need to understand
Just take my hand
It doesn't matter what the others say
I love you more with each passing day
And ain't it grand no need to understand
Just take my hand
Seems quite unusual that you'd take the time
To tell me that you disapprove
What made you think that I'd give a damn
I do what I want cause that's who I am
Da, da, da, da, da, da Daniel
Da, da, da, da, da, da Daniel
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

The Water's Running Fast
02:41
|

|
The waters running fast
But it's still too cold to get in
I've had you in the past
I can't wait to get to heaven
Now I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't want you to lose the love that you had for me inside
But now it's gone and it seems you won't be coming back at all not at all no no
So I'll believe in believing though sometimes I don't believe I believe at all
Blues my favorite color
Paula’s my best friend
Up is where the arrow points
Cause down is where we've already been
I was always worried of things that would never change
Until you start to believe in yourself everything is gonna stay the same
But don't you worry cause you know someone out there will believe in you
So when your soul is feeling empty just trust your faith to pull you through
Talk so I can hear you
Look so you will see
The music’s getting louder now
Put both your arms around me around me around me

Jennie

Jennie works at the all night grocery store
She wakes up everyday wanting more
No she ain't poor
But she feels empty
And her girlfriend Jill doesn't have a job
And Jennie’s mom says Jill ain’t no good
Look in her eyes
They are empty
Ah but Jennie has a beautiful voice
Yeah one day she will be at the top of the charts yeah
She’ll do everything that needs to be done
To be herself to be number one no no no
Jennie became a rock star
And she moved into a mansion on the hill
Jennie was paid like a rock star
She was paid to be Jennie what a thrill
But her mama always told her that she was something special
Yeah her mama always told her that she could
Yeah her mama always told here that she was something special
Yeah her mama always told her that she could
But when I wake up will you be my side
Will you run to the sun where no shadows can hide
And when I wake up will you be in my arms yeah
Will you tell me you feel like like it’s where you belong
With me with me just like you belong with me
Lord with me like you belong with me alright
Today they closed that grocery store
Jennie still writes songs sings and performs
To sold out crowds
Just like she new she always could

Mom's Ballad
03:20
|
|||
|
I saw your smile in a little child’s face
Even though you’ve been gone for so long
Writing words on the paper as I sing along
It isn’t really fair that you’re gone
Sometimes I cry when I’m lonely
I cry cause you’re not here
It’s been so long it feels
Just like a million years
Since your arms were wrapped around me
Told me I was yours
Been a long time
That’s for sure
It’s been a long time mom
Since you’ve been gone
I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again
But if I don’t then I’ll cry once again
Used to make my school lunch
Take me out the lane
And when I’d come home
You’d pick me up again
Ask me how my day was
And you’d ask Jason too
You really made it easy
Wanting to love you
But the love that you have shown me
I fear has gone away
I know that dad would listen
I just find it hard to say
He seems so far away now
From the way he used to be
I guess that’s true of everyone
It’s even happening to me
But dad I know I’m not wrong
It just takes so long
And it’d be easier if mom were here
But she’s not
