Intro 01:02
We'll have a fire tomorrow bring the gasoline we'll have all night to sit back and just dream. You are the moonlight you are the stars you're like a new pack of strings on my old guitar and I just found out I was wrong happiness ain't learned happiness is found. My notebook's been filling up since you been around.

Who's gonna pick me up when I'm falling. Who's gonna answer when I'm calling. Who's gonna tell me that I'm right even when I know I'm wrong. Who's gonna listen to my stories. When I'm out all night who's gonna worry. Who's gonna make me smile when I haven't for a long long while. And I know you're happy and I'm sure you're doing fine but please don't lie I know I cross your mind, when I see these pretty things, I still think of you. When you hear my voice in your speakers, you'll think of me too. Who's gonna hold me back when I'm screaming. 'Cuz the kid is pacing and he swears he didn't mean it. Who's gonna put me in my place 'cuz you know I'll need it. And I know you're happy and I'm sure you're doing fine but please don't lie we both know I cross your mind. When I see these pretty things, I still think of you. When you hear my voice in your speakers, you'll think of me too.

What I Need 03:11
When you hear this on the airwaves you best come and get with it. I never hug the fence pick a side then I stick with it. I feel like an elevator stuck on one floor. I feel like the necklace tangled up in your junk drawer. And I can't do it for ya. You've got to know what I need girl, yeah oh. Girl you've got me so tired. Got me feeling bad. Aah. (x2) Thank you for helping calm all my thoughts for me. You see I can't help but wonder how things could and might be. Because the future is near and I'm feeling near worried about it. The answer is calling so I went to the phone and got it. I feel like a ball that forgot how to roll. I feel like a teacher that can't keep control no no.

Wasting Time 03:09
Every note that I play now feels like the right one. Every note that I sing now feels like it too. Even walks in the morning feel less like a burden. And that's got everything to do with you. Guess it's time to be honest with myself because I feel I've been wasting time. And lately baby you stay on my mind. And I know that it's only the beginning. And I'd usually say that it's too soon. But the spring is here and timing is right for this flower here to bloom. Guess it's time to be honest with myself because I feel I've been wasting time. I've been up and down I've been over and out but I've found myself in a bind. And lately baby you stay on my mind. Guess it's time to be honest with myself because I feel I've been wasting time. And lately baby you stay on my mind.

Do you ever think of driving all day with no hopes or fears, we're going any which way. 'Cuz I'd love that. And I've got the time. Do you ever think of a big old stage in front of big old crowds, we're just playing for days. 'Cuz I'd love that. And I've got the songs. All your hopes and your cares, let them all float back to you. All your worries and your fears, let go of all of them too. Do you ever think of those old vinyl records, that you pull off the shelves and damn, they make you feel better. I love those. And I've got a few. Do you ever think of those big old stores with guitars, guitars; they're lined for walls and walls. I love those. And I can play. All your hopes and your cares, let them all float back to you. All your worries and your fears, let go of all of them too. I found myself in a conversation, hanging with the deadheads in the basement. And I knew you were so much more than just eating food, sleeping on my floor.
6.
My mind has checked out but my heart is still with it. I'm standing tall I'm feeling tough. Lookin' back on the past few summers and winters. I love my best friends so much. But I keep moving on I keep moving forward. You know I just can't anchor down. Well I change my mind I go back and forward but there's one thing I've found. Well I always need you around. Be careful swimming in the Mississippi. Them waters sure put up a fight. Well I rolled my windows down my music so pretty. We kept our parents up all night. But I keep moving on I keep moving forward. You know I just can't anchor down. Well I change my mind I go back and forward but there's one thing I've found. Well I always need you around. But I keep moving on I keep moving forward. You know I just can't anchor down. Well I change my mind I go back and forward but I will never be found. Well I always need you around.

Petunia 03:19
Everything will work out fine in time don't fear I'm here. Please don't worry your strong self if it helps what you said I felt. Because you were there for me. Because you were there for me. Things just keep on boiling down in your mind it's time you're fine. Please don't worry your strong self if it helps what you said I felt. Because you were there for me. Because you were there for me.

I've been playing my stereo down low. I hear crackle in my records, but no one else knows. Finding strength, but I'm hardly feeling stronger. My friends are all saying that this won't last much longer. And if you want, I will play you a sad song, or a happy one if your face has been long. And I'll try not to yell, well I'll try not to argue. I like figuring myself out through you. I've been looking at parks in Chicago, I've been wondering what it's like to live in New York. I've been counting my change on the floor, I've been turning up my music, I've been slamming the door. And if you want, I will play you a sad song, or a happy one if your face has been long. And I'll try not to yell, well I'll try not to argue. I like figuring myself out through you. La la la la la la la And if you want, I will play you a sad song, or a happy one if your face has been long. And I'll try not to yell, well I'll try not to argue. I like figuring myself out through you.

Forte 03:09
It's getting colder, I'm seeing late nights in your basement, but you get so stoned, you kick all of us out. It's early morning, I'm seeing the passenger seat of your car. We're not sure where we're going, but we hope it's headed far. And if I can be just half the man my father is, and care just like my mother, I'll be fine. And look to the soil and dirt in the ground, and find hope just like my brother, I'll be fine. You come to me in darkness, I'll show you light, I can tell you it'll be alright. You're not here alone. I had a bad dream, you got so sick. You missed your favorite part of winter, when the snow finally sticks. And if I can be just half the man my father is, and care just like my mother, I'll be fine. And look to the soil and dirt in the ground, and find hope just like my brother, I'll be fine.
