Drive

Drive the Nail

Every night you watch me sleeping
From the moment I close my eyes
You hold me tightly while I’m dreaming
You listen to my silent cries
And you never, never fail
Even as I drive, drive the nail

Same old rolling wheels of confusion
Seem to find their way back home
Exposing every grand illusion
And finding the me I’ve never known
And you never, never fail
Even as I drive, drive the nail

I drive the nail in the moonlight
I drive the nail in the sun
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
Till the damage is done
I drive the nail

In the early morning sunlight
Waiting calmly as I rise
See me swell just like the other day
Only to get back down to size
And you never, never fail
Even as I drive, drive the nail

I drive the nail in the moonlight
I drive the nail in the sun
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
Till the damage is done
I drive the nail

I drive the nail in the moonlight
I drive the nail in the sun
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
Till the damage is done

I’ll drive the nail again tomorrow
Just like I always seem to do
There’s nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
The only way out here is you
Through you
Only you

Brand New

I’ve got a brand new pair of eyes
I look at her with no disguise
And my oh my, what a beautiful sight

Well, I’ve got a brand new life to live
So much to take, so much to give
But I don’t mind, it’s a beautiful gift

And there was a time when the storm passed me by
But that only taught me whom I should rely
Cuz one sunny day she came into my life
The floodgates were opened, and so were my eyes

Now, I’ve got a brand new set of wings
A different perspective, what a joy it brings
I wish you could see it, such a treasure she is

Well, I’ve got this brand new song to sing
With a different tone and a different ring
She makes it dance and she makes it swing

Though there was a time when it was hard to see
The fog was so blinding the birds had to flee
Yet it’s so amazing how much grace abounds
What one day I’d lost, the next day I’d found

I’ve got a brand new pair of eyes
I look at her with no disguise
And my oh my, what a beautiful sight

And there was a time when the storm passed me by
But that only taught me whom I should rely
Cuz one sunny day she came into my life
The floodgates were opened, and so were my eyes

Though there was a time when it was hard to see
The fog was so blinding the birds had to flee
Yet it’s so amazing how much grace abounds
What one day I’d lost, the next day I’d found
The next day I’d found

I’ve got a brand new pair of eyes
I look at her with no disguise

Twenty Years to Life

Life went by so fast for me
Some twenty something years
Not enough time for me to ask of you
To wipe away my tears
And every night I wonder if I’ll ever see you again

Time is never forgiving, time has never been a friend
All it does is remind you that your time is near the end
Oh how could I have wasted
How could I have wasted my chance
Do I ever ask for much

Just another twenty years to life to say to you
What I didn’t twenty years ago, I don’t know why
Just another twenty years to life to spend with you
And another twenty years or more to say goodbye

God’s been good, don’t get me wrong
And I couldn’t ask for more
And everyday has been a good day
There’s always something to explore
But there are times I wonder
Could I ever get out of here

Yes it’s a strange feeling
And there’s no way out
Like you’re locked in a prison cell
While you’re free to walk about
Is there anyway to serve my sentence with you
Forever put me away

Or for just another twenty years to life to say to you
What I didn’t twenty years ago, I don’t know why
Just another twenty years to life to spend with you
And another twenty years or more to say goodbye
And I go away, I go away today

Oh, am I asking too much
Just another twenty years to life to say to you
What I didn’t twenty years ago, I don’t know why
Just another twenty years to life to spend with you
And another twenty years or more to say goodbye

I need twenty years to life to say to you
What I didn’t twenty years ago, I don’t know why
I need twenty years to life to spend with you
And a quick twenty years or more just to say goodbye
Just to say goodbye

Standing in the Rain

Never thought I’d be alone
Never thought I’d make it on my own
In the pouring rain
And the years they passed me by
Seems the thunder of your voice have faded
In the pouring rain

Though you, you left me standing in the rain
You, you saw me through my bitter pain

When the clouds embrace the sky
And the lightning strikes inside my mind
I’ll make it through
And when I try to touch your face
Just to find some comfort and some safety
I know you’ll find me, guide me

Though you, you left me standing in the rain
You, you saw me through my bitter pain
Though you, you left me standing in the rain
You, you saw me strengthened by the pain

As the sun begins to shine
And the birds begin to sing their song
And the waves of the ocean calms
I run to you

Though you, you left me standing in the rain
You, you saw me through my bitter pain
Though you, you left me standing in the rain
You, you saw me strengthened by the pain

Don’t Wait for Me

Don’t wait for me
Ain’t coming back to you now
Don’t wait to see
Where this may lead us somehow

I don’t believe it’s wrong
I’ve just been waiting so long
I hang my head low
As I try to find myself again, so

Don’t wait for me
‘Cause I’ve given all I’ve got
It’s just not in me
To try to be the man I’m not

Can’t we be fair
Seems like we’re going nowhere
Go ahead and keep the door shut
And keep the good ol’ memories, but

Don’t wait for me
Please let me be on my own
Oh can’t you see
Right now I just need to be alone

Nothing else to say
Well then, I’ll be on my way
Nothing else to do
But just one last thing to remind you

Don’t wait for me
I said, don’t wait for me, no
No no no, don’t wait for me, no
Just wanna be alone
Don’t wait for me, yeah
Oh no, can’t you see

Fight Another Day

Wonder why
Sky turns grey sometimes
Run away
Climb uphill against the wind
Everytime I think of you the pain goes away
And it feels like a holiday
On my own nothing seems enough
You and I together forever, and I say

Sticks and stones, break some bones
Never stop, never giving up
Words may fail, lose my trail
It’s okay, Let’s fight another day

When you smile at me
Well my little world stops to see
See the light you shine
Makes my little world move closer to fine
Everytime I think of you I’m alright
And I feel safe
And all I want is by your side
Cause you and I we’ll do it together

Sticks and stones, break some bones
We’ll never stop, We’re never giving up
Words may fail, lose my trail
But it’s okay, We’ll fight another day

And here I go again
Here’s to growing
There’s no turning back
My light is glowing

Sticks and stones, break some bones
Never stop, never giving up
Words may fail, lose my trail
It’s okay, Let’s fight another day
Sticks and stones, break some bones
We’ll never stop, no, we’re never giving up
Words may fail, I’ll even lose my trail
But it’s okay, yeah, we’ll fight another day
We’ll fight another day
We’ll fight another day, yeah

Three Days Ago

Thankful for the sunshine
Thankful for the rain
Grateful that I’m not alone
I’ve nothing to complain
Passing through the darkness
A star was shining bright
All I did was wait awhile
And in came the light
Now my eyes are open wide

Three days ago
I did not know
I could not see
Three days ago

Freedom oh sweet freedom
You took away my fears
You brought me home from far away
And wiped away my tears
Though the struggle isn’t over
And the fight continues on
I wake up every single day
And know I’ve already won
Now I believe it’s true, yet

Three days ago
I did not know
I could not see
Three days ago

Now the more that I know
The less I become
And the less I see
The stronger I am
I’ll never forget

Three days ago
I did not know
I could not see
Three days ago (I’ll never forget)

Three days ago (only three days ago)
I did not know (no, I did not know)
I could not see (I’m too blind to see)
Three days ago (yeah, let my freedom ring)

Three days ago (let my freedom ring)
I did not know (’cause now I know)
I could not see (yeah yeah, but you opened my eyes now)
Just three days ago

Yonder

I’m incomplete until we meet
When it’s over
Seems so far away from yesterday
Now it’s closer
Light shining at the end of the tunnel, I believe
To help me find my way, way back home today

There’s a house over yonder
Never lost, never wander again
Knock on the door, step inside, walk on the floor
Here in the house over yonder

You don’t have to know, just let it go
Free your mind, heart and soul
Go fly away, yet learn to stay
When you hear the voices say
Light shining at the end of the tunnel, do you believe
To help you find your way, your way back home today

There’s a house over yonder
Never lost, never wander again
Knock on the door, step inside, walk on the floor
Here in the house over yonder

How many times we miss our chances
(And when we close our eyes)
How much more before we die

There’s a house over yonder
Never lost, never wander again
Knock on the door, step inside, walk on the floor
Here in the house over yonder
Over yonder
Over yonder

How Do I Do It

I never wanted money
I never wanted fame
I never meant to cause no pain
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I didn’t mean goodbye
I didn’t think I’d ever ask you why, no but

How do I do it if I shouldn’t do it
How do I do it somehow
How do I do it if I couldn’t do it
How do I if I don’t know how
Let me know

You shouldn’t have heard the stories
You couldn’t bear to hear
No truth can whisper in your ear

I never ever always
I always never ever
Now where do I go from here
Somebody tell me

How do I do it if I shouldn’t do it
How do I do it somehow
How do I do it if I couldn’t do it
How do I if I don’t know how

Seems there’s always a mountain
Waiting for someone to climb
But you and I know there’s a problem
When no one dares to make the time

How do I do it if I shouldn’t do it
How do I do it somehow
How do I do it if I couldn’t do it
How do I if I don’t know how
Ooh somebody tell me

How do I do it if I shouldn’t do it
How do I do it somehow
Ooh somebody tell me
How do I do it if I couldn’t do it
How do I if I don’t know how
If I don’t know how
If I don’t know how

I See You

Out in the streets you see the people
Out in the sky they fly their dreams
Wonder if they ever feel the darkness
Wonder if they ever feel alone

Then I see you, I see you where you are
And you see me staring at the stars

Do you remember when I fail you (and when I fall away)
Do you remember me at all (when I go my own way)
Every single day you see me falling (falling)
Everyday you catch me when I fall (again and again and again)

Then I see you, I see you where you are
And you see me staring at the stars

When the wind of change has come and gone
And everything’s back where it belongs
And all I’ve got is you and me
There’s no place I’d rather be
Out in the streets you see your people

Then I see you, I see you where you are
And you see me staring at the stars

Ooh, then I see you, I see you where you are
And you see me staring at the stars, yeah

One Day at a Time

When there’s so much you need to do
And you can only manage a thing or two
Take it nice and easy
And one day at a time

When you seem to have lost your way
And you find yourself deep in a fray
Say a little prayer
And take it one day at a time

One day at a time is all you need
It’s all you need sometimes
With all your heart and soul
You wanna get home
Slow and steady and you’ll get there

When your dreams are over you
You’re overwhelmed, don’t know what to do
Make it all come true
Just take it one day at a time, yeah

‘Cause when the songs don’t come out right
I just scribble away until the words are tight
And I strum away doing it one day at a time

Oh yeah, ’cause one day at a time is all I need
It’s all I need sometimes
With all my heart and soul
I wanna get home
Slow and steady and I’ll get there

One day at a time is all you need
It’s all you need sometimes
With all your heart and soul
You wanna get home
Slow and steady and you’ll get there

One day at a time, yeah that’s right
It’s all you need sometimes
With all of your heart and your soul
You wanna get home
Slow and steady and you’ll get there
You’ll get there one day
You’ll get there one day, ooh
