A Fragile Tomorrow

Lyrics for the new album!

Man With a Bottle:
V1: Sat around and watched him choke
Caught his eye as he'd bum a smoke
Years later I'd watch him fade
Knowing I'd end up the very same way

C: When you're living in the shadow
Of a man with a bottle
You embrace all your demons
Though you have no reasons

V2: Every day I'd ask for more
Quit my job to run out the door
No piece of mind, no TV
Has anybody saved any fun for me?

Bridge: Everyday I'd ask for more
Quit my job to run out the door
I used to play but my hands are numb
Can't even turn up my volume knob

Peaceful Days:
V1: I tried to warn you
I tried to tell you this could happen
But now you walk in hazy rain
If this could blind you
Tell me would you see again?
You said it'd never turn out this way

C: So if all we need is love
Then baby let your love in, don't say maybe
Spread it around but don't go crazy
Just keep inside your heart these peaceful days

V2: I tried to tell you
I tried to warn you this could happen
Now you walk in rainy haze
If this could kill you
Tell me would you change within?
You said it'd never turn out this way

Something to Say:
V1: Days, nights, minutes, hours, years are wasted like a good life
Long car drives and four shows a week
Just tripping over nothing
In the Columbia sun I watch the people run
To the nearest dive bar
Had it on the first take coffee and smoke breaks
Man this can't be my life

PreC1: Some may say that I'm a dreamer

C: I got something to say
Hold your applause till the end of the day
I'm sick of buying sweet time just to watch myself fall behind
I'm a whole different man, it's a part of my new life plan
I can't believe what I see, the world that sits in front of me

V2: Painting pictures with words, all the twists and the turns
Holding on to good life
Trying not to think of her, all her kisses and her curves
Damn she'll make a good wife
I'm not trying to brag and I'm not waving my flag
Or making a big scene
All this noise in my head it was just something I said
Can you hear me in your twisted mind?

PreC2: Some may say that we're all dreamers

Tupelo Song
V1: I've got my sights set on unknown
Destination oh-no
Might end up in Tupelo
Or I might end up with you

C: Oh here I find I pay no mind to all these doubts and fears
And all this time I walked the line I dodged for all these years

V2: I've got my mind set on who knows
My heart was set on you, though
Might end up in Tupelo
But I wanted to be with you

The Falling
V1: Little Girl
Get up off the floor and take a bow
You see,
You put on a hell of a show

C: You know that you can win this battle
But right now your head is in a rattle
Dumbfounded, stay grounded.
‘Cause you’ve done all the falling your head can allow

V2: Take two
Tell me what are you gonna do
Take three
You hurt them and just don’t see

I Just Never Said Enough
V1: I wrote you a letter
Just wanting to say

C: All the stupid things I know I should’ve said
All the pickup lines runnin’ through my head
Deep inside I wish you’d fill my empty cup
Oh but I just never said enough

V2: I threw out your letter
Because I was so damn scared

C2: Thought about the way you passed right by my side
Feared that everyday you’d sweetly slip on by
I thought everything I wrote would make our friendship tough
Oh but I just never said enough

Bridge: I was falling hard for you
Now I’m staring at the chance I blew
It could’ve been you


My Mistakes
V1: I'm falling to pieces today
The woman I love, she says I can't win
She's packing all of her things
She's leaving tomorrow for a life without me

PreC1: She says I'm not quite there

C: I don't want to fall
Don't want to live
A life without her
She could fix my mistakes
Could hold me gently
And cover me plenty

V2: Six years is a lifetime to wait
To put up with me, it's the vow she made
No, I don't blame her at all
She'll never see me and she'll never call

PreC2: She says she needs more

C: I don't want to fall
Don't want to live
A life without her
She could fix my mistakes
Could hold me gently
And cover me plenty

Bridge: I fell to the wayside
She runs and she hides
I fall to the wayside again

Dear Abbey White
V1: For so long I kept waiting for your call
Never thought you'd be standing here at all
Now I can't get you out my life
You know you caused me so much grief and right now I'm

C1: Packing all your things for you
Cause girl you should be moving on

V2: It finally hit me, I'm letting you go
I only loved you when you talk on the phone
It seems I can't get you out my head
Another day with your suffering so I'm

C2: Packing all your things for you
Cause girl it's time that you moved on

C3: Packing all your things for you
Cause girl you should be moving on
Though I'm not ready to be with you again
I'm not ready to move on

Hey Mother
V1: Hey mother take me down to the city
Where I can sing the blues away
You know I've seen so much in such a short, short time
I wanna live one more day

C: I don't know what to say to you
That could just wind up breaking you
Hey mother when you're home again
Could you tuck me in my bed again?

V2: Hey mother when did you get in last night?
I needed you to turn off my bedroom light
You know I've been so scared since my daddy left
Could you just take the fear away?

Captured
V1: That beautiful noise is still here
So fill up your cup with some cheer
I think it's you, babe, who's running my head wild

Pre: But I keep waiting

C: For you to capture my feelings
To go with the change of the seasons
I need a good woman to catch me when I fall
And to make sense of it all

V2: It's not so common, you see
A misconception that's been turned into me
I think it's you, babe, who's got my heart in a knot

Bridge: I think you captured me...

We're On Our Own
V1: Open the door before I go crazy
I got something I need to get off my chest
Take down all your picket signs and then cease fire
Another day sits and waits to begin

PreC: We're on our own...

C: Stop the madness
Stop the fights, I plead
Break the silence
Set out prisoners free

V2: Open the door before I go wild
I got something I need to get in the air
Take down all your picket signs and then cease fire
Another day sits and waits to begin

Thirteen
V1: I saw you graceful and I watched you fall
You had no idea that I was there for it all
At the end of the day who'll be standing by
To see you disappear in the blink of an eye?
Oh no you never wanted me

C: Your eyes
No surprise
In time
You will be mine
I say yes
You say no
Now I'm here
To watch you go
No one can...

V2: I walked you home but you didn't know it
I knew you had tears but you didn't show it
When the world is gone and you forget about me
Who'll be the one to finally see?
Oh no you never noticed me

World, Revisited
V1: This is the most important thing I'll ever say
All of my friends are never gonna be the same

C: A young boy sits in his oak tree
And says 'oh how did I come to be?'
A young girl she waits for her fairytale
Hard times are here but she's not aware

V2: The windy breeze sends chills all up and down my spine
I know that she's got hers and soon I might have mine

Bridge: This is my world, revisited...
This is my world
