  Back Bring it On

storm clouds roll in
and hang over here
I can't remember the last time that it rained
or the last time it was clear
they loom so low
and threaten to burst
and I'm cold to the bone
but I'm dying of thirst
so bring it on
bring it on

the waves of my life
you could read like a palm
when I've weathered the storm
there's always the calm
would I have it any other way?
I'm not so sure
coz when you ride that wave
you can't help but want more
so bring it on
bring it on

  Back On by Day

On by day by day
On by day by day

a simple piece of paper
and simple little words
black ink divides the spaces
into dots and lines and swirls
words can hold such power
they can drop like an atom bomb
when words of truth are spoken about
what's really going on
going on by day by day now
on by day by day

I heard some words this morning
that chilled me to my bones
about the warring of our nation
and the poisoning of homes
the future is uncertain
the present even less
and we'll leave it to our children
to clean up this mess

going on by day by day now
on by day by day

once they've been spoken they cant be retracted
before they're out the world's already reacted
we throw them around like leaves in the wind
to find all the ears that'll take them in

going on by day by day now
on by day by day

the consciousness of earth should rise up like the sun
but the way that we're going we'll all be gone
coz we can't keep taking what we can't replace
we should be planting for future's sake

going on by day by day now
on by day by day

  Back Rain is Falling

the rain it is falling down
every drop I can hear it calling
me back to you

so many times I've run away
I've hidden myself from the love in my heart
all the love that I feel, that I feel for you
I'm gonna have to get on my bike
I'm gonna have to ride it for a long time

the earth is turning under our feet
we are apart in the lives we lead
I'm reaching for you there
I wanna be with you there
when you go to sleep at night
where do you go when you close your eyes
I wanna meet you there
I wanna be with you there

maybe if I wasn't such a hypocrite
maybe if I did what I said
maybe you wouldn't be laughing at me
and maybe you would listen instead
but as it is the best I can do
is try my hardest not to bother you
watch me fail you can watch me fall
but I only want the best for us all

  Back Jumpin the Gun

I've been jumping the gun
like it's a race and I've got to run
my mind gets way out in front
so far I can't see where I am

and I'm struggling to stand
under the weight of my plans
when I see what I am
the shadow of a man

I've been biding my time
just waiting for my mind to return
it never crosses the line
coz there's no such thing will I ever learn

you think it'd bring so much joy
to have such freedom of choice
but the responsibility
is to know just what you need

  Back Revolution Inside

I've been waiting
I've been waiting too long
I've been wasting
I've been wasting my time
just waiting for the world outside
to turn around
but just like my friend said
the revolution's inside

so mirror on the wall
you have a funny way
of showing me everything
no matter how small
we're all the same

  Back Playground

my darling my sweet pea my angel
we're going to the playground

we're gonna walk along the river to the beach
we're going to the playground
we're gonna watch your brother do some crazy tricks
we're going to the playground

where we can chase some seagulls on the grass
we're going to the playground
we're gonna watch your brother running really fast
we're going to the playground

we're gonna walk along the river to the beach
we're going to the playground
if it's hot then we can get an icecream each
we're going to the playground
if it's cold we can put our beanies on
we're going to the playground
and if it' raining we'll find shelter from the storm
we're still going to the playground

  Back Journey

Neil Finn I waited for you
outside your changing room
I said I've got a song I wrote for you
and I want you to hear it
you said that I would find a way
well here it is

thank you for the words and tempting tears
that indirectly make it clear
pure thoughts from a distant source
you use your voice to bring us near
well I thank god this gift can't be consumed
we pass it round till it fills the room
every thought will make a spark
and there will be a fire soon
your mind is open you can not lose
going for a walk without your shoes
treasures always love to be found
when your feet can feel the ground

oh the journey
it never ends and you can't escape
every direction
has a price you have to pay

open up the doors and open up the windows
let the air breathe through this house of mine
the dust has settled long enough I feel
some of these things were meant to shine

every time you think you have to do something
something makes it hard to do
it doesn't matter which direction
when you think you have to choose
you spend so much time trying to fill it up
forget the satisfaction of an empty cup
it doesn't matter where you are
when you can see you've come so far

  Back On Da Fence

what do i have
to offer you
recycled things
that I'm going through
and a merry go round
of the truth

well I'm longing to feel some answers
I'm swinging my arms relentless
and I'd be willing to wear the whole f-ing mess
if I could just get off my defenses

now I just need to breathe
to let them all down
I'm praying for
the eye of the storm
lightning response
what are you waiting for?

coz I'm longing to feel some answers
I'm swinging my arms relentless
and I'd be willing to wear the whole f-ing mess
if I could just get off my defenses

now there's two capable hands
under your crystal ball

now I've got to admit
that I'm scared to lose
the mirror returns
that's a pathetic excuse
this isn't a game
and you cant win the truth
it's all about time and love and you

  Back Leaving

I've been thinking of leaving
my heart hurts too much
there's a point when you're grieving
you think you might never let go
it's not that I don't love you
I just need to save my soul

I stand on the edge of the land
sand on my feet
I stretch out my hands
I'm reaching for the sea
I want to go out, out of my depth
I want to get in too deep
I wonder how long it would take
before she takes me

as I draw my last breathe
will I succumb to the gravity she keeps
or will I clutch to my life
like a knife to the throat
like a boat to the sea
or will I close my eyes
will I find the peace I seek

  Back You Can change Your Mind

I look out there, through the pane (pain) that shelters me
The glass that keeps the wind from messing up my hair
Through the window helps me see, that grass can be so green
I've been out there, I've tries to conquer all that atmosphere
But it hasn't changed a thing in here
I'm still a fool, waiting on an answer
Gravity still holds me to the ground
I'm such a fool, coz I still act like an asshole
When the chips are down

Don't try to change the world until you've made your room
It's a waste of time
Don't try to save yourself unless you can change your mind
You can change your mind

I look in here, how'd this mind get such a mess
It's like I haven't been at home in years
It feels like I've just run away to find a million other things to blame
I'm such a fool, waiting on the answer
Gravity it holding me down
I'm such a fool, coz I still act like an asshole
when the chips are down

Don't try to save the world until you've made your room
It's a waste of time
Don't try to change yourself unless you can change your mind
Can you change your mind?

  Back Slow Burn

slow burn
take your time
you don't need to hurry hurry hurry
there's no finish line
listen to your heart now
and speak your mind
there's no need for running running running
when there's nothing to hide

slow burn
wait your turn
so many people running running running
forgetting to learn
