Feel more, feel less Fit in with the rest Try more, try less Move fast, make a mess Hang tight, confess Hangups, find your legs Clean lines, straight talk She's here, she's gone Reach hight, reach below Hold strong, crash course Doors close, eyes rest Feel more, feel less
2.
Out of Range 04:24
There are reasons to stay the same There are reasons to change Step back and do some thinking for awhile And start all over again Is your heart beating for a change Is your mind feeling kind of strange You're out of my range There are days to wonder why There are days to close your mind Around you lay, the things you've tried Pick them up another time Life strikes in the weirdest ways And it don't care where you going I'm out of range
3.
Mainstream America, she's got me beat At one time I thought, she was the only one for me People are dying, in your streets Doesn't seem like it's the place it's supposed to be Waiting for the clouds to break, as I lie in your wake No signals of change, today Careful what you wait for, you might wait yourself out the door I can't feel you anymore Waiting for the clouds to break No signals from you today Where do I stand, in your mind Am I falling behind Nobody sleeps for free anymore Pile your dreams at the door Waiting for the clouds to break No signals from you today What can I do, what can I say Tear it all down, a brand new day And I waiting for the time To move on down the line Doesn't seem like it's the place I wanna show my face
4.
All I wanna do, is do what I do And baby that means you All I wanna do, is do what I do And baby that means you I'll carry you on my shoulders All the way from Arizona All I wanna do is you Low lights, open wine Cheap thrills on my mind Low lights, cheap wine Open your mind to mine I'm a million miles away And all I wanna do is you I'm holding steady, unsteady You're not hearing what I'm saying Hold steady, unsteady You're not hearing what I'm saying Take care of one another Look out for each other All I wanna do is you
5.
She loves me to death, but I'm still livin' She'll do anything and a little more She's totally content, I'm barely swimmin' Without her, what's it all for She's hard to forget, stoned with regret Flying through the moon She looks mighty fine, dressed to the nines She's always so kind She finds time to ask how I'm doin' Calls me home, when I'm a foolin'
6.
Having trouble again Loving you never ends Fixin' up myself, until I crash again Drinkin' from the well, waiting for my friend Playing by your rules Wasting time in my mind Wishing you were by my side Spending all my dimes on the spirits of the night Seeing your life far from mine Playing by your rules Having trouble again Loving you never ends Said the wrong thing once, maybe twice Woke up in the morning you're out of sight Playing by your rules
7.
I misplaced my expectations Missed my turn by a country mile Went looking in all the wrong faces Fell away for awhile And time is a dancer She doesn't take a break Follow her onto the dance floor Always a big mistake And there's your black and white picture Calling And there's your black and white picture Falling on me again Fast approaching morning Time intends to contain Spinning through your warnings Finding space Circle back to the moment Get spirited away She's gone before you know it Time I'll have to take
8.
Drop me off, departures please Standing by, ORD Long lines, patience wanes Trying to fly, miles to claim But delays seem to find me Should have just drove Could have already been home Should have just drove Could have already been home
