Nothing

We’ve been through this all before a thousand times
Come on, come on, come on, tell me what’s on your mind
Doesn’t matter, baby, what I say
It all amounts to nothing anyway

When push comes to shove, it’s never enough
It always comes down to something

How could I live? Why would I try?
I’ve been learning to live without you but that’s a lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there’s always something but all that’s ever left is nothing
(All that’s ever left is nothing)

I thought I saw you reach out, thought I saw you try
Waiting here for something, nothing is all I find
Kneeling at your altar, standing on the shore
I’m waiting out, now listen, I’m outside your door

When push comes to shove, it’s never enough
It always comes down to something

How could I live? Why would I try?
I’ve been learning to live without you but that’s a lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there’s always something but all that’s ever left is nothing

I won’t give up
I won’t give upâ?śno
`Cause you know I won’t let you down

How could I live? Why would I try?
I could learn to live without you but I would die
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there’s always something but all that’s ever left is nothing
Why would I try?
I’ve been learning to live without you but that’s lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there’s always something but all that’s ever left is nothing

I won’t give up
I won’t give upâ?śno
`Cause you know I won’t let you down
You know I won’t let you down
You know I won’t let you down

Wildflower

she wakes up when i sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies
if you don’t follow what i mean, i sure don’t mean to be confusing
they say when she laughs she wants to cry
she’ll draw a crowd then try to hide
don’t know if it’s her or just my mind i’m losing

nobody knows a wildflower still grows
by the side of the road
and she don’t need to need like the roses
wildflower

that girl’s sure put a spell on me
yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
if she’s fire, i’m gasoline
yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
well, she’ll tell you she’s an only child until you meet her brothers
swear she’s never met the man she couldn’t make into a lover

nobody knows a wildflower still grows
by the side of the road
and she don’t need to need like the roses
she’s at home with the weeds
and just as free as the night breeze
she’s got the cool of a shade tree
she’s growin’ on me and i can’t live with out her

yesterday’s a memory
tomorrow’s accessory
that’s her favorite quote about regret
well, she’ll tell you ?bout her pedigree
with a sailor’s mouth he’d have left at sea and it ain’t over yet

nobody knows?
nobody knows? a wildflower still grows
by the side of the road
and she don’t need to need like the roses, the roses
she feels at home with the weeds
and just as free as the night breeze
she’s got the cool of a shade tree
she’s growin’ on me and i can’t live without her
but nobody knows?
nobody knows?
nobody knows?
nobody knows?
that’s right?

she wakes up when i sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies.

Who Says You Can’t Go Home

i spent twenty years trying to get out of this place
i was looking for something i couldn’t replace
i was running away from the only thing i’ve ever known
like a blind dog without a bone
i was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
i hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold

i been there, done that
but i ain’t looking back on the seeds i’ve sown
saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone
who says you can’t go home

who says you can’t go home
there’s only one place they call me one of their own
just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
who says you can’t go home
who says you can’t go back
i been all around the world and as a matter of fact
there’s only one place left i want to go
who says you can’t go home
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

i went as far as i could, i tried to find a new face
there isn’t one of these lines that i would erase
i lived a million miles of memories on that road
with every step i take i know that i’m not alone
you take the home from the boy
but not the boy from his home
these are my streets, the only life i’ve ever known
who says you can’t go home

who says you can’t go home
there’s only one place they call me one of their own
just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
who says you can’t go home
who says you can’t go home
i been all around the world and as a matter of fact
there’s only one place left i want to go
who says you can’t go home
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
who says you can’t go home
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
who says you can’t go home

i been there, done that and i ain’t looking back
it’s been a long, long road
feels like i never left, that’s how the story goes

it doesn’t matter where you are, it doesn’t matter where you go
if it’s a million miles away or just ten miles up the road
take it in , take it with you when you go
who says you can’t go home?

Welcome To Wherever You Are

maybe we’re all different but we’re still the same
we all got the blood of eden running through our veins
i know sometimes it’s hard for you to see
you’re caught between just who you are and who you want to be

if you feel alone and lost and need a friend
remember every new beginning is some beginning’s end

welcome to wherever you are
this is your life; you made it this far
welcome, you got to believe
that right here, right now
you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
welcome to wherever you are

when everybody’s in and you’re left out
and you feel you’re drowning in the shadow of a doubt
everyone’s a miracle in their own way
just listen to yourself, not what other people say

when it’s seems you’re lost, alone and feeling down
remember everybody’s different; just take a look around

welcome to wherever you are
this is your life; you made it this far
welcome, you got to believe
right here, right now
you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be

be who you want to be
be who you are
everyone’s a hero
everyone’s a star

when you want to give up and your heart’s about to break
remember that you’re perfect; god makes no mistakes

welcome to wherever you are
this is your life; you made it this far
welcome, you got to believe
right here, right now
you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
and i say welcome
i say welcome
welcome

Story Of My Life

yesterday’s a memory
another page of history
sell yourself for hopes and dreams
that leave you feeling sideways
tripping over my own feet
trying to walk to my own beat
another car out on the street
trying to find the highway
hey, are you going my way?

this is the story of my life
and i write it everyday
i know it isn’t black and white
and it’s anything but gray
i know that no, i’m not alright
but i’ll be ok ?cause
anything can, everything can happen
that’s the story of my life

i’m gonna write the melody
that’s gonna make history
yeah, and when i paint my masterpiece
i swear i’ll show you first
there just ain’t a way to see
who, when, why or what will be
?til now is then it’s a mystery
a blessing and a curse
or something worse, yeah

this is the story of my life
and i write it everyday
i know it isn’t black and white
and it’s anything but gray
i know that no, i’m not alright
but i’ll be ok ?cause
anything can, everything can
i’ve been thinking
baby, you can help me write the story of my life
hey, whaddaya say?

this is the story of my life
and i write it everyday
and i hope you’re by my side
when i’m writing the last page

this is the story of my life
and i write it everyday
i know it isn’t black and white
and it’s anything but gray
i know that no, i’m not alright
but i’ll be ok ’cause
anything can, everything can
i’ve been thinking, baby we can..
this is the story of my life
the story of my life.

Novocaine

you can take back all your secrets
we’ll divide up all the lies
keep all the pictures in their frames
just cut me out, yeah, i’ll be fine
sell the neighbors all my feelings
go on give away my pride
it’s hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night

keep your rolodex of friends
and all the remnants can be mind
i guess there’ll be no happy endings
when ?once upon? is doing time
there’s a different kind of meaning now
to livin’ on a prayer
some don’t seem to notice
and the rest don’t seem to care

i tell myself i (feel no pain)
but i’m feeling the pain (walk away)
can’t walk away
i’m hanging on the ropes of hope
it’s getting hard to cope you know
when you’re the needle running through my veins
i’ve changed my name to novocaine

you put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let’s get this straight)
you burned my favorite sweats from high school
tried to sell my muscle car (that’s not ok)
you’re mother’s gonna visit for a couple months this year
they say you do the crime, you do the time
it’s all so clear

i tell my self i (feel no pain)
but i’m feeling the paint (walk away)
can’t walk away
i’m hanging on the ropes of hope
it’s getting hard to cope you know
when you’re the needle that’s running through my veins
i’ve changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain)
novacaine

well things ain’t what they used to be
it’s a sleepless, self-help century
i’m up to here with dr. phil and the modern man in me?

Last Man Standing

come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here

so keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
and your digital downloads

here’s the last man standing
step right up, here’s the real thing
the last chance of a lifetime
to come and see, hear, feel? the real thing
