Wild Flowers 03:45
Verse 1 how about today how about today we run away? how about today what do you say we get away? if it doesn’t happen quite like in the movies we’ll always have today we'll have today Chorus wild flowers laughing in the sun wild flowers clashing with the clovers the rain will say it’s over but not today not today Verse 2 how about today what do you say we drive away out of these lights into the hills we’ll hide away find a road to follow we'll drive until tomorrow let’s go today let's go today

Verse 1 wouldn’t you like to know where I was an hour ago wouldn’t you like to know who I was talking to on the phone wouldn’t you love to know just let it go Chorus if I tell you my story will you believe me this time if I say that I’m sorry you won’t change your sweet mind if I give you one kiss would you come running back for more or will you be running for the door Verse 2 I told you right from the start you’re not the only one who’s had my heart still you keep asking me where are you going who are you going to see
3.
Forgotten 04:32
Verse 1 I wrapped my arms around your world I feel it now I feel it now the desert sun the arctic rain won’t burn the crowds or freeze the shame Chorus all my worlds collide now and you are forgotten so take me to a place that I have never been before no one knows the reason that you have forgotten but does it matter? does it matter? Verse 2 you’re down so low to reach so high it’s in your eyes it’s in your eyes does liberation feel good? at the cost of love only for a time only for a time

Crazy Jayne 04:27
Verse 1 have you heard of the girl they call Jayne? lost her virginity at the age of eighteen raped by a man they said she knew well how could he do that to you Jayne? Chorus hide away hide away hide away hide away Crazy Jayne nobody speaks your name you drove yourself insane Crazy Jayne Crazy Jayne Bridge nobody heard her screaming inside the memory so painful was eating her alive the thought of herself raising this child Crazy Jayne lost her mind Verse 2 have you heard of the girl they call Jayne? lived by the water down on Misery Lane one night the ocean invited her in how could you do that Jayne?

Verse 1 well it might as well be today if anything is going to change God forbid when the going is good it would ever stay that way don’t forget your wings you’re going to need them when you fly and here’s a kiss incase I forget when we say goodbye Chorus it’s going to be alright it’s going to be ok once my head stops spinning I’ll be on my way it’s going to be ok starting today Verse 2 there will be times when you’ll feel lost and times when you’ll feel free times when you’ll be looking back, thinking about me they’re just falling stars and they’re gone before your eyes memories leave a trail that only you can recognize Bridge take me by the hand Baby make me understand that maybe you’ll come back to a heart that’s breaking face it love won’t be here waiting

Holding Out 04:50
Verse1 I misread the writing on the wall I didn’t realize it would take me this long to make the call I was still trying to find another way words alone didn’t justify what I needed to say Chorus I was holding out for something better in my mind I thought I had it all Baby I thought you would be there forever I just didn’t realize it would be me who would take the fall Verse 2 saw you walking by the other day, you looked great your hair was shining in the sun, you had a smile on your face it’s good to know that you’ve finally found your dreams seeing you makes me realize how foolish I was then Verse 3 I think about us all the time the way we used to be I should have promised you the moon, the stars, Baby anything I was a fool and I’m sorry I let you go the writing’s on the wall and baby now I know ladedadedadedadadedada ladedadedadedadadedada ladedadaladedadada ladedadedadedadadada

Beautiful 03:21
Verse 1 don’t let anybody tell you you’re not beautiful stay away from those who bring you down you try a little too hard sometimes feelings get hurt once in a while Chorus you are who you are and I think you’re beautiful do what you do and that’s true to you I think you’re beautiful Verse 2 don't trust anyone who makes your heart ache too many love you as you are you try a little too hard sometimes feelings get hurt once in a while Bridge if you fall in love again promise me my friend you won't lose your reasons for being who you are and don’t stray far from your direction if there ever comes a day you feel you’ve lost your way take a look inside you you’re so beautiful Chorus 2 you are who you are and I think you’re beautiful stay as you are and never hide your face do what you do and that’s true to you I think you’re beautiful

Verse 1 lying to myself was an easy thing to do seeing was believing when I was searching for the truth fighting for something, singing for peace there’s a power out there, tonight he's listening Chorus this is where it all begins this is where it all will end I can feel the fires burning I can hear the seasons turning where it all begins Verse 2 talked to death so many times I’d swear he was my friend these shoes have walked a million miles where no man has ever been dragged myself here and there not really going anywhere I've been laughed at for mistakes I've made and I discovered in the end Chorus this is where it all begins this is where it all will end I can feel the fires burning I can hear the seasons turning where it all begins Chorus this is where the stars will fall this is where the angels call I can hear a silent warning I can feel the cold winds blowing
9.
Only One 04:25
Verse 1 don’t say no, let me speak don’t shake your head in disbelief I am the one with a voice this time this is what I am witnessing Prechorus everything you say it’s your way everywhere you go it’s your show well I’ve got news for you Chorus you think you’re the only one you’re out there making noise you’re having too much fun you think you’re the only one the world revolves around you and your sun news to you you’re not the only one Verse 2 don’t get loud and make a scene sit very still, not a peep I want you to open your mind and see what I have been witnessing
10.
Verse1 I thought it would be easy I’d give this sometime everyone is asking I keep saying I’m just fine but my heart isn’t in this my heart’s not even there everything died the moment you weren’t there Chorus I should have listened more carefully when you said you’d break how was I supposed to know it was all a mistake you’re everything wonderful to me Verse 2 give me the courage I know now is the time I am writing you this letter I hope you don’t mind it’s all of my worries it’s all of my dreams I’ll mail it tomorrow
11.
Verse 1 I guess it’s all over I’ll start again from scratch pick up my whole world throw it on my back I don’t stay in one place too long somewhere out there is where I belong Chorus I'm chasing sunsets chasing sunsets chasing sunsets ......in the afternoon Verse 2 think I’ll leave Monday ride the bus from town head out the highway should get there by sundown I won’t stay for anything I won’t settle for the simple things
