Clarity
Up above in the sky
And on the ground all around me
I see
With Clarity
By my side or far away
Never will I see the day
When I don’t have you
And you don’t have me
Mmm how do you think
Just think of nothing
When the whole world’s on your mind
Mmm how do you stop the brain from going
How do you find Clarity
In the dark or in the light
I still have sight and sights to see
Oh, with you
With Clarity
In the shadow or the sun
Your experience has just begun
To show you around
Oooh how do you think
Just think of nothing
When the whole world’s on your mind
Mmm how do you stop the brain from going
How do you find Clarity

Coming Clean
I've been meaning to get straight with you
I don't know what to do
But we can't keep wasting time no more
Cause things ain't like before
We're playing at this game like it's got no price
But what do we sacrifice
Together you and I had better make things right
Cause this is worth the fight
I pledge to do my part
I am ready, I'm looking for a place to start
I'm trying to do everything I can
But it ain't enough
And the changes coming our way
It's gonna be tough.
I believe that we'll find a way some how
But we'd better get started now
Cause we can't keep wasting time this way
Not for another day
I pledge to do my part
I am ready, I'm looking for a place to start

Waitin’
I came a hundred miles to see you
And I didn’t have a second to spare
And I didn’t care
I took a long, long ride and it didn’t have WiFi
But why try stoppin’ me now
I’ve been waitin’, waitin’
Waitin’ on the song that we used to hear
When we would go out searchin’
For trouble every night
Every night
I’ve waited, waited, waited
Just to get the chance to groove some more
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
Across the floor
I know, I know
I shouldn’t cling to expectations
But it’s hard not to want what we’ve had before
Well, not anymore for this man
This can carry me through
To a future I can look forward to
To a present where every moment is new
I’ve been waitin’, waitin’
Waitin’ on the song that we used to hear
When we would go out searchin’
For trouble every night
Every night
I’ve waited, waited, waited
Just to get the chance to groove some more
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
Across the floor
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Where’s the sense that I came here with
Wait a minute wait just one second
Another minute and I’ll be dancin’ all night
I’ve been waitin’, waitin’
Waitin’ on the song that we used to hear
When we would go out searchin’
For trouble every night
Every night
I’ve waited, waited, waited
Just to get the chance to groove some more
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
It feels just like we’re floating across the floor
Across the floor

Distance

Distance
Time was never on our side
Nor was the distance you reside
Away from me
Was this not meant to be
Or did I mean to you
An option temporary
Ordinary fun for two
All along
What is this clueless man to do
On one warm summer evening
A friend a friend had brought
To watch the sky
I knew somewhere before I’d seen you
But this time I got caught
In those brown eyes
Such clear attraction
How could we not take action
Time was never on our side
Nor was the distance you reside
Away from me
Was this not meant to be
Or did I mean to you
An option temporary
Ordinary fun for two
All along
What is this clueless man to do
And when we finally came together
Oh we knew
We had some love to make
We had never said forever
No promises were made
For us to break
It doesn’t make us hollow
We just do our best when we know
Time was never on our side
Nor was the distance you reside
Away from me
Was this not meant to be
Or did I mean to you
An option temporary
Ordinary fun for two
All along
What is this clueless man to do

We Can Do Better

We Can Do Better
Take a deep breath of the air
And all of the junk that we dump up there
Lungs black from smokestacks and Cadillacs
I just know we can do better
And what of the Ocean blue
An acid broth for a plastic stew
Let’s clean this home for us
I just know we can do better
And all I could ever want is
To be the generation that puts an end to this
And all I could ever hope to be
Part of a human race that had the integrity
Kids are goin’ hungry still
And the ugly food piles up at the landfill
Waste not and want not, we’ve got a whole lot of new thought
We oughta throw at this
And I don’t mean to sound accusatory
Behind each choice is a whole lot of story
And I’ve told tall tales too myself
I’m just like anybody else
And I know that we can do better
I know there’s a whole lot of cheddar to be made
But don’t let the feelin’ fade
I know it might seem insurmountable
It’s just so hard to be accountable
For every little thing we do on the daily
We’d better find a way
We must
And all I could ever want is
To be the generation that puts an end to this
And all I could ever hope to be
Part of a human race that had the integrity

Some Other Day
It breaks my heart to say
I’ll see you some other day
When our roads cross
Once again
But don’t think that means
That this is the end
Don’t peg me with apathy
Or think it’s not hard for me
To tell you that I have to go
And if I don’t look back
It’s because I know
Your look could change my mind
I haven’t the slightest doubt
You know you can live without
Any help from a man like me
But that’s all part of the reason
It’s hard to leave
So save the finality
We don’t own reality
But you can make your own way in life
And if it’s meant to be
Then I’ll see you on the other side
Ooohh
If the years go by
And we just can’t fly anymore
One sigh on the phone tells it all
I need no crystal ball
I’ll ride the tide of love back to you
Pacing back and forth and racing through the memories
You never know just what you leave behind
The time, it hasn’t faded you
You still just seem to shine
I never could quite push you from my mind
And though it might just make things worse
To hear your voice again
I know I’ll go insane if I don’t try
So I pick up the telephone
As I said I would
And my heart is pounding as the ringing stops.

Dead End Love
04:44

Dead end love
Love
And sweet temptation
Is our only salvation
In the lives we dream of
The first time I saw you
I told myself such sweet, sweet stories
What a woman you must be
To have this kind of power over me
And I've been far too long in this town
And I'll be gone by the next sundown
Cause I've
Just been down too many roads
To wonder where I'm headed
To the bottom of the barrel
Where I'll stay until my heart is mended
As if I don't know
How it ends when it starts in the wake of a dead end love
Wisdom comes
At the price of a few good lessons
And the one that I'm stressin'
Don't believe just what you think
It don't come so easy
But maybe it's not supposed to
And I ain't opposed to
Learning the old fashioned way
Cause I've
Just been down too many roads
To wonder where I'm headed
To the bottom of the barrel
Where I'll stay until my heart is mended
As if I don't know
How it ends when it starts in the wake of a dead end love

Wherever I Go

Wherever I Go
Storm clouds following me
Wherever I go
Dark days lie ahead
Like the ones before
I can't keep this up
But still I do
And I hope and I pray and I scream into the skies
That it don't reach you
That it don't reach you
Pushing with all of my might
Just to make it through
Waste deep in wet concrete
For something new
But no matter which way I look
All I see is rain
And no matter how long it took
I'd be back again
I'd be back again
Last spark leaving my eye
Without a tear
And shivers run down my spine
But not from fear
I just feel so cold
And this feelin' I know
All the grief all the sorrow all the pain I carry with me
Wherever I go
Wherever I go
