So there’s nothing on the radio
that makes me want to sing along
nothing on the radio today
there’s nothing on the radio
that makes me want to sing along
nothing on the radio today
15,000 songs on the airwaves right now
that’s an awful lot of words without a point to make
Wanna hear a song that makes me fall apart
something original how ‘bout something smart
There’s nothing on the radio
that makes me want to sing along
nothing on the radio today
no there’s nothing on the radio
that isn’t just a formula
nothing on the radio today
Wanna hear a hook that spins in my head
wanna hear an album that I can care about
wanna hear a love song wonder who it’s for
like to hear a human song I want to beg for more
There’s nothing on the radio
that makes me want to sing along
nothing on the radio today
no there’s nothing on the radio
that isn’t just a formula
nothing on the radio today
no there’s nothing on the radio
that isn’t just a formula
nothing on the radio today
yeah there’s nothing on
nothing on
nothing on
nothing on the radio today

I Don't Know
02:42
|

walking with a friend today
didn't know what I should do or say
lost someone she really loved
thought her life was all done
I don’t know
I don't know what it’s all about
I don’t know
I don't know what it is all about
Thinking about a girl from school
didn't know the Golden Rule
talking ‘bout all her friends
going where she shouldn’t’ve been
I don’t know
I don't know what it’s all about
I don’t know
I don't know what it is all about
Feeling a little sad
about life & my fellow man
and the “it’s all about me”
a little love might be the key
I don’t know
I don't know what it’s all about
I don’t know
I don't know what it is all about
I don’t know I don't know
I don’t know I don't know

We arrived at this party
separately
but hit it off right away
I felt so glad to meet ya
weren’t sure how long you could stay
soon I’ll be asking
where are you now
soon I’ll be asking
where did you go
Felt like we have known
each other
all our lives
Sometimes you’d hold my hand
wouldn’t speak
just breathe
Time moves so fast
and seems way too short
So I’m gonna show you
where you live in my heart
soon I’ll be asking
where are you now
soon I’ll be asking
where did you go
soon I’ll be asking
where are you now
soon I’ll be asking
where did you go
soon I’ll be asking
where are you now
soon I’ll be asking
where did you go
soon I’ll be asking
soon I’ll be asking
soon I’ll be asking
soon

This is on you
guys you gotta f-ing get it together
Hey man
don’t talk to me that way
or interrupt
I got something to say
Hey man
don’t whistle at me
don’t touch
I got something to say
Better find a way to fix it
Better find a way
Better find a way to fix it
there’s a better way
Hey man

Hey man

You know

Better find a way to fix it
Better find a way
Better find a way to fix it
there’s a better way
Hey man
just ‘cause you’re bigger
don’t brush up
and think you can linger
it’s not locker room talk
this has all got to stop
I don’t care about your opinion
of my body
or what I’m wearing
I don’t care
I don’t care
Better find a way to fix it
Better find a way
Better find a way to fix it
there’s a better way
Better find a way
Better find a way
Better find a way
there’s a better way

One Of Those Nights
02:58
|
|||
|
A crow calls from the rafter
moon shone from the sky
A chill came through the yard ….
didn’t wonder why
howl came from the mountain
branch fell from the tree
A wind blew across the drive…
it came for you and me
Is it just one of those nights
Will the dawn shed some light
It’s the way the dice plays
and how the band rolls
On a night……. To end all nights
Dog bays in the darkness
stone rolls down the hill
A car door slams in the distance
have I lost my will?
Sound of steps on pavement
smell of fire in the road
Time for you to think now
see what you might know
Is it just one of those nights
Will the dawn shed some light
It’s the way the dice plays
and how the band rolls
On a night……. To end all nights
Is it just one of those nights
Will the dawn shed some light
It’s the way the dice plays
and how the band rolls
On a night……. To end all nights
On a night……. To end all nights
On a night……. To end all nights
On a night……. To end all nights

I Look For You
03:01
|

|
When I dream
I see you in a house
We don’t speak
just wander around
I look for you
I call for you
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I roam through these rooms
familiar but not real
are you coming soon
I’ll be right here
I look for you
I call for you
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
do you know I’m here
or where we’ll meet
when darkness comes
when I’m fast asleep
I look for you
I call for you
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I look for you
I call for you
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are

Can I
03:49
|

|
Can I get to know you
can I see your face
get to know you
sit beside you on the train
sit beside you on the train
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
Can I get to know you
maybe you’ll look my way
get to know you
see the color of your eyes
see the color of your eyes
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
Can I hear your voice now
maybe I’ll learn your name
think about it
run it through my brain
through my brain
Can I see you walking
what you eat for lunch
maybe sit together
accidentally touch
hope it’s not too much
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
our fantasy
lives in my head
thinking it could be
better than real life
better than real life
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
Can I Can I Can I Can I Can I
can we have dinner?
can I walk you to the door?
can I hold your hand?
can I let you meet my dog?

18 Ways
03:28

I got 18 ways to tell my baby I love him
18 ways he knows that I care
I got 18 ways to show my baby I need him
Got 18 ways 18 ways 18 ways
Check in see how he is
sometime around noon
I’m thinking of him
and hope to see him soon
I got 18 ways to tell my baby I love him
18 ways he knows that I care
I got 18 ways to show my baby I need him
Got 18 ways 18 ways 18 ways
When the day is over
I’ll take him in my arms
And when it’s time to rest
let him dream of the stars
I always tell him
I always show him
that I care
I got 18 ways to tell my baby I love him
18 ways he knows that I care
I got 18 ways to show my baby I need him
Got 18 ways 18 ways 18 ways
Make him coffee in the morning
Before I butter his toast
you know I do it just right
but I don’t want to boast

Bad Boyfriend
02:31
|
|||
|
We met and connected right away
spoke every other day
Then realized if I don’t call
don’t hear from you at all
Thought we were sisters to the end
But you act like my
Bad boyfriend bad boyfriend
When together we’re so tight
but out of mind out of sight
your attention seems short
now I’m all hurt
Thought we were sisters to the end
But you act like my
Bad boyfriend bad boyfriend
You’ve become my bad boyfriend
Bad so bad
bad so bad
Maybe I don’t have a clue
I know I’ve done it too
Life gets in the way
Forgot to call what can I say

Wonder Why
03:22

Saw you walk by
and wondered who you were
got to wonder why
I’ve been lonely all this time
wonder why
wonder why
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call home
wondering
wonder why
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call my home
wondering
wonder why
wonder why
your smile caught my eye
and think we’ve met before
got to wonder where
you’ve been all this time
wondering wonder why
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call home
wondering
wonder why
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call my home
wondering
wonder why
Then I captured you
with my camera
caught you looking sad
When I caught you in my camera
saw you looking back
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call home
wondering
wonder why
Wonder why I’ve been alone
wonder where to call my home
wondering
wonder why
wonder why

What if I had to tell you again
why should I have to tell you again
What if I had to tell you again
would you listen
you won’t listen
What if I had to write you again

what if I had to write you again
would you read it
you won’t read it
What if I had to find you again
why should I have to find you again
what if I had to find you again
would you be there
you won’t be there
What if I needed your hand again
What if I needed your hand again
What if I needed your hand again
Would you give it

What if I had to love you again
What if I had to love you again
What if I had to love you again
would let me
could you let me

Time For You To Go

He tells her she is weak
and he knows what’s best for her
so much time has passed
she can’t remember
you’re not crazy
and it’s time for you to go
your future is outside that door
don’t worry
you’re stronger than before
You can make it
you can make it
People know something’s off
or that maybe, she’s just strange
but she can’t tell them all
she can’t find her voice
you’re not crazy
and it’s time for you to go
your future is outside that door
don’t worry
you’re stronger than before
You can make it
you can make it

I Lost It
02:46
|
|||
|
I hear a song
I’m doing something else
and in my head
comes a melody
It’s never the right time
I’m sleeping
or I’m driving
must affect my chemistry
Lost my song in the grocery store
lost it all while getting more
Lost my song in the grocery store
left it all laying on the floor
Like I have an idea
for a hit song
but I’m …
busy now
Where’s my notebook
and a pencil
gotta get it down
before it’s gone
Lost my song in the grocery store
lost it all while getting more
Lost my song in the grocery store
left it all laying on the floor
It was
playing over and over in my head
it was my masterpiece
it was my masterpiece
it was my masterpiece
