Kicked Out
02:38
|
|||
|
Layin' around too long,
I could feel that something bad was coming
TV in class that day when the police came to take me away
Momma I'm sorry, I know you don't believe it's true
But you've got to pick me up, cause
I just got kicked out of school
I turned it around not long after
Had no choice but to move on
Well, oh well,
At least I found myself some direction

Behind Me
02:25
|
|||
|
It died
I felt it when you were holding my hand
Well goodbye
To a happy ending
I guess I never learned how to take kindly
To things that remind me of her
But for you,
I'll put it behind me
'Cause I'd rather follow blindly
Than to be unsure again
Thought you were my lover
But too afraid to be my friend

Flying
03:28
|
|||
|
Waiting in the West
Just a plane ticket away
But a ticket, a ticket that's gotta be paid
Fly over my way
I've got a comfy place for you to stay
For a week or so
I don't really know how it ended up this way
But I do know
On my shoulder is where I want her head to lay
On my shoulder is where I want her head to stay
Flying in from outer space
You know I've been waiting to see that face
So can you show me what I've been missing
Give me a taste
God himself molded you out of clay

Tennessee
02:45
|
|||
|
What else could I make of it
On the verge of breaking him
Sink or swim, or you'll be sorry
For what you never did
Too much pressure in the big league
But that's alright with me
I've got nothing to hide from Tennessee

Catching
04:54
|
|||
|
Every time I waste my time
I see it for what it is now
I'm so thankful
'Cause it was not like this before
I'd ignore any sign that told me
What I was doing wasn't right
I just can't believe it took so long
To be comfortable with myself
and now I can write a song
Just hope you sing along
With the oohs and aahs
Always figured
I'd come around eventually
Always knew that bullshit wasn't made for me
So now I've got some catching up to do
So glad that I told myself
That life is up to you
Looking around, I see we struggle without
Something to focus on
But why can't we all just try and be someone
There we go and follow
Whatever we've been told
Instead of letting ourselves grow
