Always wondering about the bad And you wonder why that's sad Here's a different thought for you to think If you always trust your first instinct Life would be different don't you think Moving faster then you blink So put away the planning board Don't be lazy you can do more You won't go anywhere just dreaming I'm sick and tired of it everyday Seeing chances go the other way I need a new day to face Never time enough to say I'd be better off that way I'll put it off another day Always sit in the same old room Always blaming last times move Maybe thinking new will keep my cool I'm sick and tired of it everyday Seeing chances go the other way I need a new day to face It's easy to see when you close your eyes It's easy listening to lullabies So tell yourself you've got the time It's time to move and not to think You're only as strong as your weakest link And moving tired takes all your strength You won't go anywhere just dreaming © 2009 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

Natalie 06:18
Scared and alone That's how you feel right now But do not fear Because I know You're really not alone I've always been right here Hey Natalie Do you ever think of me and the way we were Like back in Albany Where you said you felt complete With the way this world turns Now in Flagstaff Can you even find your way back to me Natalie Guard your heart For it's the wellspring of your life So let me be your shield I'll guard you with my life Cause you are my life Hey Natalie Do you ever think of me and the way we were Like back in New Orleans Where you said you felt complete With the way this world turns Now in Flagstaff Can you even find your way back to me Natalie I said that "there's no use with yesterdays" You know, I've tried to help you see that light Of a brighter side of life each night Hey Natalie Do you ever think of me and the way we were Like back in Abilene Where you said you felt complete With the way this world had turned So hey Natalie Do you ever dream of me and the way we could be Like back in Paris Where you said you'd find your way back to me Can you find your way Will you ever find your way back to me Natalie Oh please Natalie come back to me All songs © 2009 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

Come May 05:28
Woke up with this feeling yesterday That I have no reasons left to stay I'd be better off gone Then sit here too long With my suitcase packed Down a one way track I wanna see the world Like a bird I wanna soar To and from with no strings Or hidden lies that make me scream Before you ask me to stay I swear I'll come back home, come May Picked up the Daily News & Morning Star Nothing's here, I find no part Everyone seems the same Forgotten dreams hide their face With their suitcases packed Down a one way track I wanna see the world Like a bird I wanna soar To and from with no strings Or hidden lies that make me scream Before you ask me to stay I swear I'll come back home, come May Have you seen what you wanted to see? Or ended up where you expected to be? One more thing before you stay Where will you find yourself come May? With a suitcase packed? Down a one way track? I wanna see the world Like a bird I wanna soar To and from with no strings Or hidden lies that make me scream Before you ask me to stay I swear I'll come back home, come May I wonder where you are I bet I'd find you wishing on a star I hope you find your place I'd like to hear that someone knows your name © 2003 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

Danielle 04:09
Danielle where are you tonight Cause I miss you I know I can be weird sometimes So thank you for seeing me through I don't understand my life But you make me feel so alive And when you're not around I want I wanna cry Danielle stay home tonight And I'll try to give you what you need I'll write you endless lullabies And sing you to sleep I don't understand this life You've made me feel so alive And when you're not around I want I wanna cry Hey Dani come home Come home tonight So Dani come home Please come home Come home Hey Dani come home Come home tonight So hey Dani come home Please come home for life © 2010 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

How can I say something to change the way you see me now Cause I'm the same one who heard you when you cried and made you feel alright But now you see me as somebody else If loving you was my crime, then I'll do my time Cause I can't stop loving you even if you want me to I wandered all my life until I looked into your eyes and saw You're everything to me Where have you been all my life What took me so long to find You there with that magic in your eyes That brought me back to life I know it's true, everything I've found in you I know sometimes feelings go But I'll stay even if they fade away Cause I know sometimes feelings can grow So I'll stay with you all my days You're everything to me And all I wanted to be I found in your eyes when I saw You're everything to me Yeah, I see you're everything to me I know, I know you're everything to me © 2010 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

I Got You 04:35
We're nothing alike, but baby that's what I like You're everything I'm not Cause you're outta my league, and I can't believe How someone as beautiful as you could ever look my way If roses are red, and violets are blue The color I see in you is to good to be true So if the sun fades away What does it matter anyways when I got you yeah See, today may be cold But all I feel is your warm glow cause I got you yeah I come alive, just looking in your eyes I feel like I'm falling I know I sound crazy, but I know what I like And I've waited long enough to not even try If roses are red, and violets are blue The color I see in you is to good to be true So if the sun fades away What does it matter anyways when I got you yeah See, today may be cold But all I feel is your warm glow cause I got you yeah You know the sun will fade But in your arms I will stay cause I got you yeah Baby I can't see Everything that's to be But if you wait for me I'll love you forever and say eternity So if the sun fades away What does it matter anyways when I got you yeah See, today may be cold But all I feel is your warm glow when I got you yeah And if the rain starts to fall I'll hold your hands and stand tall cause I got you yeah And when the sun shines May it remind you how you're mine and I got you yeah I got you I got you I got you I got you yeah I got you I got you I got you yeah yeah © 2009 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

You sail away on the water of endless time Fighting demons all around in your mind I pray to God that it's not too late for you You have so much right here left to do I hope you do Can't you see You got me going crazy So I promise you something true More than broken words & hearts I know leaving is all you're seeing But it'd kill me too if you'd part So can't you just hold on tonight Yeah, hold on tonight...tonight Life's too short to go home sooner than you have to It's more than a game, it's your life you take I hope you stay Cause I love you Yes I do Yeah, I promise you something new More than broken words & hearts I know feelings are all your leaving But it'd kill me too if you'd part So can't you just hold on tonight Can't you just hold on tonight Yeah, hold on tonight...tonight I love you more than life itself I'll hold you when you need to be held © 2005 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

Pray For Me 04:11
Here is where the road divides Here is where we realize The sculpting of the father's great design Through time you've been a friend to me But time is now the enemy I wish we didn't have to say goodbye But I know the road he chose for me Is not the road he chose for you So as we chase the dreams we're after Pray for me and I'll pray for you Pray that we will keep the common ground Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you And one day love will bring us back around again Painted on a tapestry We see the way it has to be Weaving through the laughter and the tears But love will be the tie that binds us To the time we leave behind us Memories will be our souvenirs And I know that through it all The hardest part of love is letting go But there's a greater love that holds us
9.
You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me And that's what made me see where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself I can only blame myself you can only blame me And I could write a song a hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me And I could write it down or spread it all around Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea You put me on a line and hung me out to dry And darling that's when I decided to go to see you You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes Made me realize what I could not see And I could write a book the one they'll say that shook The world, and then it took, it took it back from me And I could write it down and spread it all around Get lost and then get found and you'll come back to me Not swallowed in the sea And I could write a song a hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me The streets you're walking on a thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give Forget but not forgive not loving all you see Oh the streets you're walking on a thousand houses long Well that's where I belong and you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea Yeah, you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea

Moving On 05:24
Four years past you by In the blink of an eye Things still don't feel right With the memories still in your mind Sometimes it's alright to say goodbye, try Moving on, and I pray it don't take long And if I see you again, I hope you find you belong Moving on Four years past tonight Do you think you'll see the Light That will lead you to the day With brighter skys and different rays Sometimes it's alright to say goodnight, try Moving on, and I pray it don't take long And if I see you again, I hope you find you belong Moving on Your hearts been cracked But there's no time for looking back It will mend in time And it will be fine, if you try Moving on, and I pray it don't take long And if I see you again, I hope you find you belong Moving on, and I pray it don't take long And if I see you again, I hope you find you belong Moving on, and I pray it don't take long Cause you belong And it's not wrong Moving on © 2003 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

I look around and see Everyone with someone but me So darling, if you hear me Come quickly and stop me from asking Is there anyone for me To come and make my life complete Please forgive me Please forgive me for wondering Is there anyone for me Cause everyone I know Wants to see me go But never alone I would love it too If I could find you But will I ever find you As I lay me down I take that look now And pray that I'll be found © 2007 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

This Girl 05:33

When the world has brought you down And it seems hope is bound Hold on tight, you'll be alright You'll find a friend When your days are filled with clouds And the nights have washed you out Don't be afraid, you'll be ok You'll find a friend There's nothing you can say That can take the past away But I've seen the best of you and I know It's only time until you find a friend Sometimes you'll win, sometimes you'll lose And all you have will never do I don't how you got that down But you'll find a friend I know it's only time until you find a friend © 2007 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

I never want to leave your arms But maybe there's a time when we should part I only wish I knew what was on your mind I've been here time and time again with you And every time you make it all feel new But I don't wanna be just another guy Standing with his heart on the outside looking in So I'm here and you're gone There's nothing worse then feeling you've been wronged This is me with my heart on my sleeve Baby I can't hold on if you're gone If you want me to hold on come here or I'll leave I've learned that maybe I should never trust you Every word you said you really never knew I don't wanna play these games you play Like the times when you would always say you loved me So I'm here and you're gone There's nothing worse then feeling you've been wronged This is me with my heart on my sleeve Baby I can't hold on if you're gone If you want me to hold on come here or I'll leave I'll never look back I'll always be sad when I hear your name I'll forgive you But you aren't worth my tears I'll never forget you and how you broke my heart Remember me The one you said you'd never leave I know you're gone So I'm here and you're gone There's nothing worse then feeling you've been wronged This is me with my heart on my sleeve Baby I can't hold on if you're gone So I'm here and you're gone There's nothing worse then feeling you've been wronged It's me the one you said you'd never leave I already know that you're gone So if you want me to hold on come here If you don't want me here, I'll leave I won't forget you © 2010 Shakin' the Music / ASCAP All rights reserved.

Pouring Rain 06:34
Life won't be the same without you How could I ever think it's suppose to Funny how time flies by In just a moment, we'll pass through our lives Throw every question aside I've always loved you and will until the end of time So take my hand and we'll catch that train For a better place Where I won't ever have to say goodbye And no one ever cries I'll hold you through this endless pain I'll hold you through the pouring rain One day I know I'll look back At all the memories and promises we had I wouldn't change a thing There's nothing I regret in my life song I sing Throw every question aside I'll always love you until the day I die You should know I'd always be faithful by your side Know I'll always, always love you © 2010 Shakin' the Music (ASCAP) All songs used by permission.
